2020 Worlds Invites for HST wins?

By wurms, in X-Wing

I remember seeing something where it said if a HST in 2 months away from worlds, you can use your win for worlds 2020 invite. Is this correct? We are 2 months away now. So all HST wins can be used for 2020?

Does anyone have a link to official statement? I cant remember where I saw this.

The HSTs being run from September onwards now say in their blurb about prizes that winners get tickets to 2020 World Champs.

Here it is, for anyone else playing in a HST this month:

I just got mine yesterday so this helps me prep for the 2020 instead of trying to scramble to make the flight and hotel accommodations. Thanks for the info guys.

Exactly 2 months before Day 1A of Worlds, that should count.

I should have stayed to see you beat those ARCs. Losing to them twice in the same trial was not fun!

Worlds technically starts on October 16th, so I'm a day inside the cutoff. Or maybe we should get a judge ruling on it? JUDGE! :D

As for those arcs it was a game of keep away and drop ordnance to try and chew through their hull. He had guns over my 2 firesprays and it was all I could do to keep him from tabling me quickly. I got lucky with some big damage shots and he came to the corner to kill Boba and didn't setup his turn out and ran a full health 104 off the board! With my two hurt ships versus a hurt Jag and it was all over at that point. I was losing that game and then suddenly I won. I'm still a little shocked by it.
