Oh, maybe I misread? I thought the two wildcard slots were the highest MoV in the whole thing, period, and then for the qualifiers it's the top MoV in your Region. So,

#1 overall in NA:W, NA:E, and EU. (3)
Biggest winner in qualifiers in NA:W, NA:E, and EU. (3)
Two highest MoV throughout the whole tourney thus far. (2)

For 8 total.

I could be wrong though.

@Ardaedhel is correct

Euro sector win big or go home matchups:

To qualify for eliminations you have to A) win and B) get a better MoV than the other guy.

1: @Irishmadcat VS @NobodyInParticular
2: @realadmirals VS @Dr Alex

@Irishmadcat wins his game, with MoV 38. Will he be the one to qualify - or will the winner of table 2 take the spot?

Many thanks! We will play on Sunday Oct. 1, at 5am Pacific/8am Eastern.

Maturin's game is on Sunday (they got an extension).

Not seen a scheduling for the last game.

Forgot to come post our results, I've been so busy with work. @SilentSteve and I played last Wednesday. I won, (366-0) we played my Solar Corona.

I killed everything except Steve's Gozanti, and he had my Biggsball about to collapse, but not quite; so, he didn't get any squadrons. Both Assault Frigates were hurting but just short of dying. It was a fun, intense game, with a good opponent.

Interesting development.

@Matt Antilles came late, but strong, clawing his way into the top 5 - for now.

Maturin CAN make the top 5, IF he can win 10-1, MoV 360+

1: @Undeadguy VS @BiggsIRL - Match Results: @Undeadguy is the winner 417 to 65
2: @JJs Juggernaut VS @itzSteve - Match Results: @itzSteve is the winner 146 to 164
3: @Ardaedhel VS @DoubleDown217 - Match Results: @Ardaedhel is the winner 430 to 71

In the NA:West sector, @Undeadguy has the top spot.

Ard, JJ and itzSteve are all safe in the top 5, but Matt Antilles could theoretically be pushed out if Maturin wins big.

I think whoever wins out of me and @Rearadmiralsdoitinspace is going to have to try really hard to get an MoV of less than 38...

6-5 MOV of 0 is doable.

That's the plan, second player hide and seek it is!!

With the scary amount of red dice being chucked out by our respective fleets - don't think there's enough table to hide in!

Dr Alex Vs @Rearadmiralsdoitinspace Is due to kick off tomorrow at 8pm GMT, screaming child permitting.

come and watch someone who has already qualified as a wild card by the look of it try to beat someone by less than 38 points just to be annoying...

I promise not to scream too much...

This game is on right now, though its more a chat about certain Norfolk stererotypes....

Aww it was posted for 8 PM GMT, I wanted to watch the game .... bummer, will just have to check in when I get home around 7:45 GMT

It will be ok. Rear Ad is just setting up the minefields now so you wont miss much.

Well @Rearadmiralsdoitinspace won with an MoV of 100. We played his minefields and I deployed poorly with My MC80 off to one side. I caused damage, he repaired it. His flotillas led a charmed life with all but one just surviving. I lost two CR90bs and a scout hammerhead.

120-20 to @Rearadmiralsdoitinspace

What was this about go big or go home?

Blimey - that was a marathon and a half.

The battle of the super pickles ended up with - shock horror given all the defensive refits they've got - all the super pickles still on the table. Definitely a game where comms-netting for fun and profit helped me no end, and slightly mitigated @Dr alex's manoeuvrability advantage (and general greater skill level).

Good game with the good doctor, and what Armada's supposed to be about: big ships chucking lots of dice at each other, with nary a silly little starfighter in sight.

Maybe this is already posted in this thread but where are these games being streamed?

Setting the new wildcard bar at @mhd's 386 MoV.

Does that mean I've clinched a wildcard MOV spot?

Unofficially, of course, but by my accounting, yes.

Always assuming you don't win your qualifiers and qualify that way, which would pass the wildcard down to the next unqualified contender.

Hmmm... should have thought about this more. Was really hoping for win last night as I didn't fancy my squadron-less super-pickle fleet facing @Tokra and his Sloane-infused ball of fighters again. So now it looks like I'm facing @Gilad Pellaeon... and his Sloane-infused ball of fighters. Yay :-(
