System Open Series 2019 Results

By Rojek, in X-Wing

Hey everyone!

I've searched the forum for this topic, but couldn't find anything. I know it's pretty late in the SOS season, but we always used to have a topic like that, with discussion, links to streams, results.
I always loved pouring through the data from various top lists, discussing results, wacky lists that made it to the top, etc.

Disclaimer: If my searching is bad, and a topic like that already exists, please point me to it and somoene please delete this one.

If you guys have any info on the results of the tournaments not on Listfortress or any streams / YouTube links to matches, please share.

Also, a big shoutout for all the people handling the streaming for these and other tourneys. Nothing beats watching them live :)

There you go, discuss :) For starters - Jake and the FatHan? What is this, 2016 again? ;)

Reserved for, I don't know, stuff.

Eindhoven SOS results are lost in FFG Europe OP computers. I doubt they'll be published. It's a shame.

A 'line' of sorts before and after points adjustments would be very useful IMO.

I managed to find a Top 4, but it's sad if they lost the whole thing 😕

I did write about the points change, between 3rd and 4th SOS. Should I make it more visible?

Edit: Made it red and bold now :)

Isn't there a Denver System Open? I say this because my wife vetoed me going there without her, but she was totally fine with me going to Atlanta. :)

I didn't even know about this. I just subscribed to FirstEarth with my Amazon Prime account. Thanks for the heads up.

Luke gunner to gun down his opponent Luke? 😎

I think his Han was actually 160 and he only took it becauae he left his 4 Phantom dials somewhere XD

Two more System Open's going on this weekend, Hannover and Denver.

Will Inert Han reign supreme? Will we have another Phantoms win? Or something entirely different?

Here's a stream for Hannover (Jake and the FatHan playing right now vs Whisper,Duchess, Gr. Inq)

Capacity smaller this year or just not as much interest?

Last year there where as far as I remember 4 SOS for whole Europe, and this year we got SOS every 2 weeks in peak season (literally - SOS UK was 2 weeks ago, now Germany and next is SOS Nordics within 2 weeks, next Italy 3 weeks after). This affects numbers greatly.

Denver, Swiss standings are on Best Coast Pairings.

I don't know what the top cut is, but the top 32 comprises (with their highest placing list in brackets):

Zero Resistance;

1 Separatists (5th, plus another in 33rd place);

2 Republic (22nd);

3 First Order (13th);

4 Scum (1st);

9 Rebel (8th); and

13 Imperial (2nd).
