Store Championships?

By PanchoX1, in X-Wing

Any idea when FFG will release a list of Store Championship locations for the 2017 season?

I didn't think ffg released a list like that at all. I could be wrong.

I think the week before worlds at this rate. Apparently stores haven't even finished submitting their desired dates.

My local store owner emailed FFG the other day inquiring about the kits and was told they would not be shipping until after worlds.

Well, that would be a problem since those kits are supposed to have the worlds promo card. And store's are supposed to hold worlds watch tournaments for them. At least that's what they said in the worlds article.

I think it's a separate version of the Q2 or just Q3 kits that was announced to have the world's card. Store championship kits will be seperate.

New this season: Each Store Championship Kit contains two World Championship alternate art cards, to support a fun World Championship Celebration event (May 3-7) in your store, possibly showing the live stream from the World Championships!

I stand corrected

I was honestly hoping you were right TBH.

This is how this year's Netrunner Store Champ kits worked, two copies of the Worlds card. Unfortunately for me the only SC I finished 2nd or better in was also at the only store that hosted a Worlds party and thus had already given out their Worlds cards. I'd imagine X-wing will work the same way.

Looking back at some of the previous year's announcements, they normally come exactly one month before the season starts, so I'd imagine we get an announcement this week or next.
