GGWP!

Congratulations to James, the 2018 UK Champion.

Well played Sam.

I don’t want to say this was the best final ever, but it was.

Thanks to all participants, and to Liam our judge.

(If you want to test your skills against such high calibre players, come to Wandsworth and join the Eagle Gaming Club.)

Completely agree. The final was utterly engrossing from start to finish.

Well done @Vae for a tremendous performance.

A final worth watching. Many thanks to everyone for an excellent couple of days.

Aye congratulations @Vae , and nice to see a final with nothing but Star Destroyers slapping each other about. Had the pleasure of playing both finalists during the Swiss and they were great lists.

Nice one @TheCallum with the rundown, I was stuck at work with no wifi all day and couldn't follow what was happening!

Zhose HMC80s look sweet

Thanks, they certainly stand out!

Massive congrats to @Vae for the win. Was lucky enough to play you in the 4th round, you're a **** of a player, and that ram-to-stay-on-the-board move was a thing of beauty!

Not a hugely successful day for me, but can console myself that 2 of my 3 losses were against UK Nationals Champions @RikkiP and @Vae .

Got a few photos from the event on Twitter at https://twitter.com/i/moments/1034355260196876288

Final standings aside, Nationals was yet again a fantastic event. Five great games on Friday, bumping into the Bristol crowd in the hotel Friday night for a few drinks, powering through side events with the Stockton guys on Saturday.

Big congrats to @Dreadnowt as well, representing the Scottish scene well and just missing out on the cut. Super proud of you man!
