Are there any informations about the squadlists of the top 25?

mmm, let me see.... so you can hand a token to a blocked ship, or hand a focus token to a Conner Netted ship, or hand a focus token to a stressed ship...
...I guess you've never heard of Mindlinked BroBots before. Or sarcasm either, for that matter.

Already seen someone after a 2nd Firespray in the UK group.
You're right pure coincidence I'm sure. ?
Edited by Stevey86Well don't count me in there, I've had Boba/Kath queued up for a while with pretty much that list. I still expect it to be a day one wonder, though, like the quad HWKs at last years Yavin.
Theres a reason Firesprays are only ok, and that will be exposed.

Well I for one welcome our new Firespray overlords...
Edit: also, Mark's 4 x HWK list did well at Yavin this year as well. Not sure where it finished in the end, but definitely made day 2 and was the streamed match in round 10 IIRC.

I'm not impressed until someone can do well with the Imperial Firespray. ?

What you did there. I see it. ?

LOL @ 2 ship mindlink.
4 Hawks is good for swiss but not good for the cut. It has too many bad pairings. You can run into a bad pairing and still do OK in swiss, but in the cut, you're finished. I'd bring 4 hawks if I wanted to get on camera and knew I couldn't win the main event (or I had to leave before the cut due to scheduling). I don't know why Mark Stretch brought it and I'm not implying anything about him.
Edited by MoppyAn Italian guy made the on day 1!
Go Roberto!

Yeah, the blasphemy comment was more a dig at the meta-chasers who suggest that Mindlink lists are the only Scum lists worth taking rather than actual list building advice.

I don't think anyone suggests that as the Dengar/Bossk/Ketsu (delete as appropriate) are a real thing.
Two 7-0s from yesterday. Believe Nand's squad was covered already. The other 7-0 was one of my 2 losses shoutout to Nick Belle. He had Asajj (standard), Fenn (standard) and Palob mindlink TLT at 99 points. Really good meta call, great player and a great guy.
What time does it start today?

Building opens at 9 central time, they want to have dials by 10 but it'll probably be closer to 11 if previous events tell me anything.

Whats the time now over there? Should be around 10am now isn't it?

Minnesota is on Central time, which is about 9:00 am right now because of daylight savings time.
great resource

Palp Defenders v. Scum YV and TLTs
I will be compiling data for all of the 7-2 players, and preferably would like to get complete squad lists for everyone that makes day 2. So if anyone has squad lists, or links to squad lists, then post here and I'll compile them.
Edited by MajorJuggler11 hours ago, wurms said:Miranda could give them major problems. As could something like RAC w/ Kylo and Whisper, blind pilot twice in a row on boba is essentially game over.
I'm not so sure about Miranda. The Firesprays are tanky enough that they aren't going to worry about TLT or Bombs too much and have enough hits that even a maxed out Miranda Homing Missile with Jan Ors boosting it isn't likely to take one off the table in an alpha strike. Even if Miranda can make Fett take initiative there's a good chance that even if she SLAMs that she would stay in arc of at least one of the Firesprays.

Yea. But the fact that they're okay instead of garbage in this meta is still news to a lot of people. The general lack of double-repositioners helps them quite a bit.
Does anyone have the standings for Day 2? Being at work during worlds sucks!
