S&V Aces League Week 3

By Kelvan, in X-Wing

Sorry for the delay everyone. I’ve been sick and had just enough energy to work and put my kid to bed yesterday. I’ve changed it up a bit with the logs. Here are the current standings: https://challonge.com/yg9dgl3i


I’m trying to hold them all in a google folder. Feel free to view it here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1d5qdUCoJIsEO62jrk4xP6jcXun890zEj

Week 3 Matches

Morgan Reid: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Resistance&d=v5!s!231:172,5,-1,175,-1,171,169:U.136;244:199,173,-1,174,-1,-1,193:&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=

Analysis: 173! You crazy son of a *****. Look I think Kylo is crazy good, but I don’t think he’s good enough to beat Poe. I just can’t see Morgan losing this. (Sorry for the jinx Morgan). While Bunn might be the #1 ranked player, he isn't the People's champion.

Prediction: Morgan

Analysis: Boy how good is that shuttle? We’re going to find out as this is pretty close to a mirror. I like the board knowledge and PS Marcel is bringing. I am not sold on the upsilons. I also ran A wings seriously so my judgement is pretty questionable.

Prediction: Marcel

Paul Heaver: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Resistance&d=v5!s!298:172,-1,164,175,206,-1,169:U.136;231:172,5,164,175,-1,-1,169:U.136;239:172,133,-1,-1:&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=coreasteroid3,core2asteroid0,core2asteroid2

Analysis: Paul has 3 ships that punch hard. Nien will have to work a bit for his torps. I think that while Paul has the tools he needs to win, I’m not sure he can overcome the Scum efficiency or board knowledge. Duncan for the love of the Force, stop using the FFG builder.

Prediction: Duncan

Billiam Bernickel: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Resistance&d=v5!s!231:172,5,-1,175,206,171,169:U.136;299:172,-1,-1,175,-1,-1,-1:;298:172,-1,-1,175,-1,-1,-1:&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=

Travis Johnson: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Resistance&d=v5!s!293:114,-1,-1,-1,-1,71,69,-1:;231:-1,5,-1,175,-1,171,169:U.136;240:127,116,-1,-1:&sn=Poe BSF A&obs=

Analysis: What a difference a point makes. Now Travis’ Torpedo goes off first. While overall Will has better firepower, I really like Travis’ ships he brought. I think the the bomber was brought with 4 ship brick in mind, but will still be useful for effectively keeping Will’s ships in arc the whole time.

Prediction: Travis

Richard White: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Scum and Villainy&d=v5!s!95:-1,61,-1:;97:133,-1:;304:-1:;304:-1:;247:-1,-1:;249:133,-1:&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=

Ryan Farmer: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Resistance&d=v5!s!250:114,-1,-1,-1,-1,69,71,-1:;231:172,5,-1,-1,-1,171,-1:;240:-1,-1,102,-1:&sn=Unnamed%20Squadron&obs=

Analysis: Oh **** that bomber. That thing is going to be such a pain in the ***. Plus I have to kill it first leaving Poe for late game. Boo. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a good list but I’ll need a bit of luck to get Ryan.

Prediction: Ryan

Tyler Tippett: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Galactic Empire&d=v5!s!217:132,-1:;218:132,-1:;222:-1,-1:;223:-1,-1:;221:-1:;229:-1:&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=

Alex Smittle: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Scum%20and%20Villainy&d=v5!s!97:121,-1:;108:-1,-1,54,-1,-1,-1,-1:;95:-1,61,-1:;247:-1,-1:&sn=Unnamed%20Squadron&obs=

Analysis: Tippett’s swarm is going to hit really hard. We already knew that. The question is how much work can the bounty hunter do to jam up the swarm and can Alex get to late game with Fenn? I think Tyler can kill fast enough to pull this out.

Prediction: Tyler

Good Hunting!

Huh. 5 Poe's, not a single BB-8 among you.

SHAME.
