Hi there. I was wondering if i should write this report...but hey we learn also on our mistakes huh?
Fist of all word of advice - if you craft a list(s) two weeks in advance of an event..? Don't change it last day while sitting in work
So i crafted up:
Asajj + PtL,Lats,Eu
Partybus (Dengar,Zuckuss,4lom)
Unkar + Spacetug, Ketsu
On paper it looks good right? Well i forgot that Pattern analyzer exists and it costed me much - multiple situations i had reverse+tug on Quackjumper...but i could not do it
From perspective i would change EU to Gyro on Lancer. I boosted maybe 5 times during whole event cause i had to do other actions and i missed free turret turning :/ So lets go:
Round 1:
Rey+ Norra
My opponent wisely baited me with Norra in the opening...and stupid me took the bait :/ Rey did some damage to Bus on initial pass while i focused on ARC bringing Norra to 1HP. And then i lost a game due to some mistakes and some luck on my opponents side - As Rey had to circle around instead of Slooping (Unkar was sitting behind and blocking that) i had 2 turns of pounding that arc with Asajj and Bus. In the turn that Bus was gonna finish her..my opponent boosted Rey right into range 3 of bus. By a sliver. Managed to kill it before it killed Norra. And Assaj had to turn the other way due to board edge. Norra then regened and he did great job keeping Rey at Range 3 so Asajj could not shut his Expertise down. I missed gyro in this game as Rey managed to dodge some arcs and i missed actions to keep my self stacked with tokens and rotate arc. Asajj finally went down and Unkar was just chore then.
0-100 Loss.
Round 2.
Parattani.
Bleh. But i had to face it
i opened with crawl along my edge while his Asajj and Fenn darted towards me. In the following melee Bus was totally useless and his limited mobility prevented it from shooting, but Asajj managed to put 2 dmg on Fenn due to double stressing him. We both regrouped - i darted towards his edge he maneuvered at mine. In the following pass i setup epic block for Fenn with Unkar...and moved my BR just 1mm to much to the back...and Fenn fits...nevermind he died anyway this turn, after a short argument about autothrusters working in mobile arc (ofc they do not) and managing to kill Unkar. Next turn Assaj killed my bus and it went down to his shieldless Ventress and full Mana vs my full Ventress. Unfortunately even that i managed to get his ventress to 5 hull i could not use PtL and his action economy just won it.
fenn, 1/2 Assaj - 100 loss
Round 3
Ghost + HWK (Kyle) + Biggs
Weird list but it worked. I have to admitt i flew terrible in this game. Instead of using the fact that he needs to stick together to work and try to setup some flank i decided to joust this list. Long story short - even that Unkar handed over milion of tracktors in this game allowing me to separate HWK and kill it his Biggs+Jammer+Jan Ors combo worked and aside from 2 turns i managed to tractor Biggs away and put some dents on the Ghosts this initial joust costed me game as Assaj was constanly blocked and unable to rotate turret (GYRO!! WHERE ARE YOU?!) sacrificing 2 rounds of shooting to Ghost...
HWK - 100 loss
Round 4
Tomax+ Dutchess+ Ryad
Omg my list sucks so much :"D and i fly like drunked old man today. Well screw it. Finally something i was prepared to handle.
X---------
U----B--
We setup something like this where X are his ships U is unkar and B are my big ships. Unkar flanked with getting someone into his tug while Asajj and Bus were jousting his list. After lucky Range 3 joust where he focused fire on Bus it ended up only without 5 shields and i managed to do the same to Ryad. After initial joust i set Bus forward to turn around behind him and left Asajj to tank his list. Fortunately Unkar finally shined - he managed to catch Ryad and shoved her around on rocks for 3 turns in a row managing to kill her. In the meantime Asajj lost shields to Tomax rockets but not before killing him. Then Dutches approached Asajj from north....but followed by party bus and Unkar. They did a short job of her.
100-0 WIN
Round 5
My team buddy with 2xWarden and stressbot Braylen.
I knew thats gonna be hard matchup even that he had same bad day as me
Short to say - Kwings were almost untouched due to all that slams. He managed to bomb Asajj extremelly fast (she had no actions at all with all that conners and stresses flying around) poor party bus was outmaneuvered by Kwings and stinged to death with those puny lasers and some bombs. I managed to put braylen at 1 hp....and Unkar failed to kill him with multiple range 2 shots...before falling to those winged beasts called Kwings.
0-100 masacre.
So finally i went 1-4
I think thats worst score i ever managed to get on any event (first big event i went were Nationals in 2015 - and managed to get 2-4 there
). There were surely some flaws in my list. But mostly i flew like a vegetable. Terrible rookie mistakes that came out of not practicing with that particular list - i know i asked for it. Funniest thing is...list i unpacked was Kylodeci+Vader. List i practiced a lot. And one guy had almost THE same list i wanted to field. He almost made it to the tops with it
So fellas: never craft event lists in work on the departure day ![]()
