If it wasn't out in the open for so long, I think the SuperWhale (tricked out MC80) 2+3 build would have won Worlds. It's still a top build in my opinion.

I think Ram City is a strong counter to the above.

So, my 100% wrong prediction is that a 2x ISD build which should be strong against Ram City will reach the Final Four and win it all.

What do you guys predict? Good luck to everyone (Sorry, JJ... no repeat champs! LOL) Also, how's the international representation (given the short season cycle)? Will 2+3 carry the day?

International rep is low! That's all I know

I predict 3+ flotilla list will win. It will also contain Admonition.

3 Rebels (Dodonna, Mon Mothma, and Rieekan) and 1 Imp Jerry fleet for top 4.

I do not think the MC80 will make it to top 4.

Liberty and Interdictor will not break top 16.

Single ISD will do better than dual ISD.

Maarek+Jendon will be the most common squad duo, more so than Shara+Tycho.

RLB will be very low despite the huge amount of debate based around it.

Sato, Vader, Tarkin, Konstantine and Tagge will not break the top 32.

No 120+ squadron builds on top table.

I predict a good time will be had by all.

I predict that Norra Wexley will be this year's MVP...

High bid Demolisher

Triple Interdictor.

Luke Skywalker.

That is all.

Why not a delusional optimist?

I thought all optimists were delusional.

That may be the best description

GR75 combat retrofits all the way down

I mean, don't get me wrong... I'm a huge fan of my Tournament winning Double Interdictor list..... But I can't squeeze a 3rd into it (or convince people to let me steal one to try)

This one's a harder sell to me... PDR, definitely, its right out there... But I think QLT is possible. Specifically for KallusRaiders to semi-counter BiggsBalls.

It will be, once again, high squadron lists that are fighting on the top tables.

I said it the first year, i said it last year. And i will be right once more this year .
You need squadrons. And only lists with high squadron value will fight on the top.

On imperial side it might be Demo with high activations and high bid (combined with 120-134 points in squadrons).

On rebel side it might be everything, as long as enough squadrons are in the list .

But i have another prediction. RLB will not be in any of these lists .

I expect we will have a mass of the new fighters.

I'm giving myself 70-30 odds that I finish Thursday 0-5.

What return will I get if I take this with the option that one win a Bye-derived victory?
