I can't wait to see how this World's turns out! Does anyone know if it will be streamed, for us, the unfortunate souls that can't attend?

I don't believe so, but the finals match should be.
I know I'll be trying to stream my matches.
If I get knocked out you bet I'll be bouncing around games giving commentary.

In past years, FFG streamed a semifinal match and the final. However, that was when Worlds was at the FFG Game Center. Who knows with it at AdeptiCon. On the one hand, there’s no X-wing to hog all the stream time. On the other, they might not have space or bandwidth.

I would sooner rely on Darth Vader upholding his end of the deal UN-altered than FFG OP streaming the tournament in a comprehensive, meaningful fashion...
For as long as it takes me to hit three buttons on my phone to live stream it to youtube. It'll be mounted to a tripod.
Only a few days left bump!

Kinda wanted to do this too, assuming bandwidth is there. What's the tripod you're using?
I won't be live streaming, but may try recording my games for time-lapse videos to post afterwards....got a tripod mount and battery pack. Will need some post-editing (exactly how much to be determined....)

Let's eat breakfast together before worlds. This time *I* have the car and won't get left behind!
There's a place called the Egg Harbor Cafe about 5 min from the convention center: https://goo.gl/maps/H7F3c6W7p7m
The tournament is at 10am for Friday's Day 2, so we'll want to be bright and early at about 8:15am for Breakfast. Who's in?
It is about 30 min by foot. Just walked past it today on sightseen tour.
Edit: Just want to say, i will be there, but i need a seat to get back 😁
Edited by TokraJust called Bulldogs and here's an update: it's a party with one tab. Which means bring cash to pay ME or you're not getting food/drink Wednesday night. I accept PayPal, but I'm going to be giving you a stinkeye as I do. BRING CASH IF YOU WANT ALCOHOL OR FOOD TOMORROW.

I wish I had known you were arriving early. I’m at a pub near my hotel right now.

Yea, they streamed the most boring matches (not because of the players or lists, but because of the format).
Streaming a win/loss match instead of a normal point game will automatically end in a more boring match.

YOU MADMAN!
Breakfast on the otherhand is going to be "show up and crash the place" because it's fun and I don't know how many people will show up. We'll try for tables of 6-8?

Fox and hound. Sw about 5 minutes from the convention.
I'll be headed there @geek19 as soon as we get our badges.
Fashionably late.
You guys still there?
I’m awake and I’m hungry. I’m going to hit up Egg Harbor a bit early and work on some write ups over coffee. If anyone else is not going to wait until 8:15, you’re welcome to join me!
