Where to find?

Just the BCP app.

With the usual note that factions do not equal list styles or playstyles:

5 resistance players made cut from day 1, and allegedly only 10 started. That would be an interesting cut rate.

top32 had 8 imperial, 7 scum, 5 resistance, 4 FO, 4 seps, 2 republic, 2 rebel. Particularly interesting is that people try and succeed with scum.

Only undefeated were Empire as well

Not much obviously, but:

Both undefeated players were running Oli's exact worlds winning list.

Shocking, unknowable.

New Squadron

(67) Darth Vader [TIE Advanced x1]
(6) Afterburners
(3) Passive Sensors
Points: 76

(57) "Whisper" [TIE/ph Phantom]
(11) Fifth Brother
(3) Passive Sensors
Points: 71

(52) Grand Inquisitor [TIE Advanced v1]
Points: 52

Total points: 199

I think Oli had crack shot on Whisper, but he had a mild bid. Crack shot puts it up to 200 even.

Except for Rebels (only 2 it looks like) representation in top 32 isn't terrible. Empire and Scum both somewhat overrepresented (at least in general, without knowing how many showed up, could be average). Is pre-wave 6 and very early, so not clear if it will carry over to the entire season, but interesting nonetheless.

Hol' up, did @Brunas make cut with 8 epsilons? Gz! Is Bunn the other one, same list?

You can't manipulate the data and win with something bad! 😂

I think all 3 fochos made cut. Bunn is playing Jedi. Updates when I reach the airport.

Don't quote me on this but I think Brunas is playing kylo 4 epsilon

At airport, too lazy to bother but I'm 99% sure all three fochos made cut.

He isn't, he is playing focho.

If any FOcho lists make it past first round of Swiss, second look at it?

I'm rooting for one of the FOchos to lose for no other reason than a friend is playing against it.

Now that's a list that could be real trouble. Reapers have white jam too. Token denial is potent.

Its extended so it doesn't actually matter.

Not a huge surprise. Having Rey twice in there suggests a reliability of the list that it IMO does not have. And I disagree with the build on XAAA. But other than that the lists are somewhat expected.

1 hour ago, Boom Owl said:

Empire

VaderEcho, 5 Reaper, and 7TIEs+Reaper are weird. The latter two might have benefitted from that. The others... Soontir Vader +3 is a known quality list, TripAces are obvious, and Jendon+2+ace is also a known quality list. Soontir+3 Imdaars is a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

Beautiful. Mostly HS legal, too.

Rebel

Luke and double E? Okay then. I've played some games with Corran and I see how Es are good. But they have some severe deficiencies, and the only reason I see to play them is some faction loyalty that I don't get. Why not 2 FOTP+Kylo instead? You can't have both sense and plasmas, unless you want to go down to lower i silencers. But seems mostly better to me.

1 hour ago, Boom Owl said:

Scum

uh... Boba Fang everywhere. I think there are some other nice options, but it is telling how similar the lists in the cut are. CIS is also very similar.

Overall it looks like the good players of each faction have similar ideas and did well with them.

Not gone. Not even a little bit. Players on day 1 self banned 7b and R2 Astromech for no reason.

I have no idea why Slave 1 got cheaper instead of becoming 10+ points.

Huh, I completely missed that. Not a surprise then, but anyway a logical list.

I meant in hyperspace, sorry for being unclear. I see it's still around in several lists, but I am really happy that it's not in hyperspace

The rejoicing 7b is gone is universal.

The resulting happiness is rhetorical and calming.

...akin to a good tea.
