[Video] Toronto Regionals 2018

By Cod, in Star Wars: Armada

Our video crew captured some of the rounds from the recent Toronto Regional on Feb 10, 2018. Unfortunately we forgot to record Round 2 to disk, and we were still setting up the feature match area during Round 1. We still have some quality Armada videos for you though!

These videos are edited to eliminate downtime between actions on camera, to make the 2hr+ matches watchable in about an hour. Perfect for a single sitting. All relevant game actions and commentary remain.

I love those edited vids - with commentary, notes and everything. Excellent!

Thanks for posting!

This game (Round 3 is all that's showing for me...) dredges up Wave 1-2 all over again. There is just so little an AF2 can do against Demo except run away to try and draw out the engagement. And Mack did... not that.

Commentators kept applauding his aggressiveness, but that's just not how you deal with Demo using AF2s. He should've protected the AF2's with all the GR-75's. It was obvious from deployment that Demo was heading in to kill Ackbar. Mack needed to bank Ackbar hard toward screen right starting turn 1 to run from Demo while forcing it into engagement with the other AF2.

Of course this is all Monday morning quarterbacking, but anybody who played in Wave 1 or 2 knew at deployment exactly what was going to happen to Ackbar.

I had similar thoughts as @Ardaedhel about ackbar flying towards his doom. In my experience you run away from demo and take those long range shots while trying to get your opponent to engage anything else with demo.

The final round of the event. Two Canadian Nationals champions face off in this game.

I hope this game serves as evidence that intensify firepower is a must take for a Cymoon refit.

Amazing work. Thanks guys

Is it? Why?

With GT?

I recommend watching the video to see it, but the amount of blank reds he threw on his Cymoon shots was absurd. Intensify would alleviate at least a little bit of that if not using anything else to do re-rolls.
