About time for a new organized play update

By Storgar, in X-Wing

The OP page still has the info about wave kits etc. These have clearly been abandoned, are we going to return to something similar to what we had with store champs and regionals, I do quite like hyperspace trials though. Something new maybe.

An article outlining new plans would be nice though :)

Yeah would be nice for the LGS to have NEW prize stuff too...

I keep thinking it’s been about long enough since Worlds that they’d put out an article... if only a Worlds Recap, though anything OP-related would make sense.

Of course I’m more interested in upcoming products/release dates, but.

Our store is already planning on running a store champ early 2020. So in theory that’s coming back.

Matt Holland has posted on Facebook that we will get Store Championships back, whilst Regionals that became Hyperspace Trials will be renamed (again) as Prime Championships to match the name for the other games' equivalents.

We were asking what our store had on order for kits... they mentioned having a "store champs" kit on order for 2020, which lends itself to that theory.

I'm sure HST were nice for folks who had easy access to them, but having a strong low-end on competitive X-Wing is also great.

Do we know if the prime championships will be as high in quantity as hyperspace trials or more like the old regionals?

Hoping for a bunch of HSTs as well as the store champs. I want to earn more dice I can blame for my failures. :)

I suspect they will be rarer again. But that's only my own opinion, Matt didn't specify. I think this because there should be a clear difference in tier and quantity between the Store Champs and the Prime Champs.

It's also unclear whether there will continue to be two competitive formats, although Alex and others have said that Hyperspace isn't going away.
