S&V Aces League Week 8

By Kelvan, in X-Wing

Alright football is coming to an end so we can focus on the real games, the Aces league. We have a few weeks left for people to Jockey into position. Let’s see if I can win a game. We’ll be starting a day late next week as we’ll be waiting for the points change on the 28th.

Week 8:

Marcel Monzano: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Scum and Villainy&d=v5!h!89:133,-1,-1,-1,-1,96,-1,152:;96::;90:133,-1,62,43,-1,96,-1,-1:;247:133,-1:;249:133,-1:&sn=New Squadron&obs=

Richard White: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Resistance&d=v5!s!301:-1,-1:;301:-1,-1:;240:-1,-1,-1,-1:;296:-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1:;254:-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1:&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=

Analysis: I brought a swarm vs a lot of hp, which is normally pretty good. That being said his biggest piece is moving after me, and turrets are still good if you can plan well. I also know Marcel’s karma is coming from his previous game.

Prediction: Marcel

Morgan Reid, The People’s Champion: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Resistance&d=v5!h!231:172,5,-1,175,-1,171,-1:;244:-1,-1,173,192,174,-1,165,193:&sn=New Squadron&obs=

Ryan Farmer: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Resistance&d=v5!s!231:127,195,-1,175,198,171,-1:;239:133,116,-1,-1:;240:133,116,-1,-1:;300:133,116,-1,-1:&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=

Analysis: Our current first and second place in the standings! This is an interesting one. Morgan has board knowledge on Fenn. But Ryan has a ton of ships to throw at a low agility falcon. I think he’ll kill Rey fairly quickly and it’ll depend on Morgan’s Poe to pull it out. In the end I have a hard time predicting against Morgan.

Prediction: Morgan

Chris Allen: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Resistance&d=v5!s!231:-1,5,-1,175,-1,171,169:U.136;239:133,-1,-1,-1:;240:133,116,-1,-1:;271:133,-1,-1,-1:&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=

Alex Smittle: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Scum%20and%20Villainy&d=v5!h!97:121,-1:;103:124,-1,-1,54,70,-1,165,153:U.85&sn=New%20Squadron&obs=

Analysis: I almost flew a very similar to exact list as Chris. That’s probably not a good sign for him. He has the firepower to take Alex out but Alex has some nice counters for the A wings in Boba and Fenn has board knowledge to catch Poe. I hesistate to pick 2 ships but this is really close.

Prediction: Alex

Duncan Howard: https://raithos.github.io/?f=First%20Order&d=v5!h!290:131,-1,165:;243:181,-1,-1,182,111,165:;289:-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,111,165:&sn=New%20Squadron&obs=

Tyler Tippett: https://raithos.github.io/?f=First%20Order&d=v5!s!290:131,-1,-1:;243:123,-1,-1,182,113,-1:;236:74,-1,-1,-1,-1:&sn=Unnamed%20Squadron&obs=

Analysis: Tyler thinks he’s a puzzle solver. I believe him.

Prediction: Tyler

Travis Johnson: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Resistance&d=v5!s!231:133,5,-1,175,-1,171,169:U.136;298:172,-1,-1,175,206,-1,169:U.136;239:172,133,-1,-1:&sn=Poe Ello Talli&obs=

Paul Heaver: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Scum and Villainy&d=v5!h!103:133,-1,-1,55,-1,-1,-1,153:U.85;247:133,-1:;95:-1,-1,-1:;98:132,-1:&sn=New Squadron&obs=

Analysis: Paul has a ton of tricks up his sleeve wit Qira trick shot Boba and and Old Terroch. But Travis will have Full board knowledge with his list… I can’t predict against that even vs Paul.

Prediction: Travis

Andrew Bunn: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Scum and Villainy&d=v5!h!95:-1,-1,-1:;97:121,-1:;103:133,-1,-1,54,-1,-1,-1,153:U.85&sn=New Squadron&obs=

Will Barnacle: https://raithos.github.io/?f=Rebel%20Alliance&d=v5!s!5:119,-1,-1,-1,142:;9:119,-1,-1,-1,142:;7:-1,-1,-1,142:;2:130,-1,-1,-1,142:&sn=Unnamed%20Squadron&obs=

Analysis: Will has the firepower to win this. I just can’t see him beating Boba at this point cost.

Prediction: BUNN! BUNN! BUNN!

Good Hunting,
