Someone misinformed you then.

Sorry!, now I realise we actualy had participation prize for today's Team Epic (omega ace), I'll edit it (and I blame my tired head). But on the hangar bays from yesterday... there was only for the top4 (omega ace) and winner (biggs). Compared with the Opens, feels lacking.

Still, is just a minor complaint.

Well, I must say Bartosz really had lady luck on his side during his top 8 match. Either way, good player!

I think it kinda compensated in some parts of the final. When you trade HLC shots on identical ships and you lose almost half HP without dealing a single damage in return it's kinda hard not to feel luck is not on your side.

Also, mission accomplished: no cards will come back with me to Spain, although I have no idea if anyone from here besides FTS Gecko and Coolfishboy got any. If you did, say hi! :P

Was good to meet you Kharnete, and thanks for the cool cards! Unfortunately I missed put on Hangar Bay this time around, but I had a couple of fun games if Team Epic today.

Yeah, the Hangar Bay prizes felt pretty much like they were leftovers that had been dug up from somewhere rather than a special prize, and apparently there were very few, and none of them were participation prizes, which compared to the system opens is a real kick in the teeth for your time investment in an already packed weekend.

After the terrible first day, both yesterday and today have been really great. The only complain I may have is the lack of participation prizes on yesterday's hangar bay, it feels a bit cheap in an event of this magnitude.

But first day aside, kudos for everybody: TO's, refs and players.

Also, mission accomplished: no cards will come back with me to Spain, although I have no idea if anyone from here besides FTS Gecko and Coolfishboy got any. If you did, say hi! :P

Cards were amazing! Many thanks again! I will be using these very soon!

On the other hand, in the opening exchange of fire his Dash ate shots from Leebo AND Miranda and came away undamaged while at the same time nearly wiping out Miranda's shields with the return HLC shot. The dice luck swung a bit but it seemed to benefit both players fairly evenly.

I would like to thank everyone for an awesome tournament. Didn't have a single bad experience, and each and every opponent I played against were amazing players. Really proud I went 8-1 in swiss and managed to sneak all the way up to top 8.

Oh and Janus played his "Parajanni".

And nothing but janky builds.

Was there a Ketsu/Dengar list that placed or streamed? I'm pretty interested in something along those lines.

Not bad, 5.33 of each faction would be equal split.

Were any of the RAC lists on stream? Would love to see how they were played.

Voitek Sza (PL - Wojtek Szafrański) played Dengar/Kestu.

He went 7:2 and missed the cut by MoV.

List was:

Dengar + Expertise, Punishing One, K4 Droid, Unhinged

Ketsu + VI, K4 Droid, Shadowcaster title, Burnout Slam

For 99 total.

One of his fights was streamed - against Boba/Kath - real bloodbath ended after 25 min with Dengar on single hull left. Will be on YT at Firstearth channel soon (maybe still is on Twitch)

Yeah, Tim Gronneberg faced off against the RAC/Jax list in the top 16 games.

I wonder if he really played this list, or there is a typo, coz it doesn't fit 100 pts ;)

Congratulations on the results mate. Really impressive!

Am I right, that you only lost to Poles? ;)

I don't understand Krayts shitting on this Top 16. It was still 9 rounds of X-Wing these players had to go through. Same amount as Worlds. On top of that they **** on the winning list for having Leebo with Countermeasures and say he hasn't learned to "dodge arcs", that's like saying Why take Dash, you can't avoid rocks or something?

The call for lowering Dash down to Leebo was a great call because of 2 things. The only PS7 pilot that see's competitive play is Old Teroch and you ain't going to win that Initiative Bid. So just drop it down to Leebo. You win the RacLo matchup, but more importantly when your opponent gets their eventual torp shots on you or Fenn Rau gets his Range 1, you drop that TL and now have 2 Focus and LW to back you up.

I like the Krayts and haven't disagreed with them much but they sound like the people who first looked at Dengaroo and said, that's *** they only got 2 Jumpmasters and even have Countermeasures in the list. That's crap. Without looking at the full picture.

I think the Carolina Krayts just really like swearing a lot :lol:
