Is there any evidence that the developers play x wing?

What I am trying to say is, i'm sure that when they play at lunch, the don't both pull out Dengar + Nym v Low/Biggs/Rex/Jess day in, day out. Most likely they use Leia in a Naboo Starfighter, paired with Rey in the Falcon with K2SO and Obi-wan crew versus two Imperial Gunboats and Kylo in the TIE/Silencer.

I'll let them off if, and only if, this is true. ;)

They surely do play the game. However, you have to keep in mind that a dev's perspective is innately different to that of a regular player.

As for knowing the (meta)game, I don't know what to think myself. During the worlds commentary, they keep up a solid understanding of the game state, and then they spend 5 minutes being confused by Justin not launching a plasma torpedo at range one. (Seriously, that happened. And it was obvious it was range one, they even mentioned later they forgot plasma torps were 2-3.)
