The X-wing Debrief crew (DROID and I) are getting into streaming. We have enjoyed the streaming community immensely and want to add to the party. We've captured a number of games so far anywhere from league night to online vassal casual or league play! Hopefully we can add a unique perspective to the game. We are on twitch, youtube, and wordpress of course. Followers and viewers are always appreciated so we have a reason to keep investing.

Let us know what you like most about stream games and be sure to “Follow” us so we can ping you when we go live with more original content.

Thanks!!!

Team,

Latest two games streamed today! "Tanky" and "Outmaneuver This" were both great games and were very close. Let us know if you are interested in hopping on a stream game. We also have a discord server you can follow to also chat X-wing.

Thanks a ton and Fly Casual!

Is there a link for the discord server?

Yessir,

"Permanent Invite" links have been generated and are found on both youtube and twitch pages as a link.

Otherwise try this one: https://discordapp.com/invite/FtwMFy7

let me know if that doesn't work.

Awesome! Thanks for joining

We've got a practice game on stream starting here in a couple minutes! Stop by if you'd like.

A reminder now that we have our matchups for Jank Tank Open - if you're interested in being on a stream during JTO, XWD is going to be streaming what we can throughout the event. The google doc below has sign-up spots once you've figured out times with your opponent. Please do not set your time purely off what we have available, as this may change - but we will do our best to stream what we can, and the times we post are best guesses at when we believe we can jump online. If we can't commentate but we're home, we may be able to just record the game for you and post it to YouTube after. We'll take a look at any games that are on the sheet and see if we can stream them, so don't be shy about tossing your name on there.
If we are getting set to stream and don't have anyone yet, we'll post in the Fly Better discord and look for games starting on Vassal; we ask the players before we go live.

See below for the X-Wing Debrief's streaming schedule for the next few days, specifically Jank Tank Open games! We had a last minute stream earlier today that was a nail-biter of a game - now that I'm eliminated from the tournament (on the last shot!), more time for dedicated streaming!

Tonight, 0300Z (11pm ET, 9pm MT) - Maxx's First Order v Bobby's Scum salad!

Tomorrow night, 0100Z (9pm ET, 7pm MT) - Darryl's B-Wing Beef v Aaron's Triple Resistance!

Friday, 1700Z (1pm ET, 11am MT) - Nate's Corran/Miranda/Magva v Brian's IG-88 and Friends!

We'll post up the stream schedule for this week tomorrow once the round 4 pairings are complete for Jank Tank Open. Thanks to everyone who has been tuning in! We will be live tonight at 9 ET/8 CT (0100 UTC) for Tyler Tippett v TriggerHappyTaco in the last round 3 match! We'd love if you'd joined us.

Along with JTO games this week we will also have our first Fog of War stream. This stream will be produced into what is effectively a game and debrief in one video. Each player will communicate their plan for the game and their objectives to the stream, planning phase commentary will be focused on objectives and win conditions, and we'll bring both players back into chat after the game to talk over how it went. We'll take the streamed content and streamline the video, add visual aids, etc before it gets posted. While I am experimenting with TTS for some variety streaming, I would expect Vassal remaining primary for at least the FoW series. It feels like the better platform for precise X-Wing and discussion.

Want to see an autopilot drone, TWO gand findsmans, Sabine Wren, and Torkil take on 3 B-Wings and a Leia U-Wing? I thought so. Tune into tonight to X-Wing Debrief at https://twitch.tv/thexwingdebrief at 930pm ET (0130 UTC)!

@NaKoaLani live from the Top 32 right now!

We've got a pair of excellent Jank Tank Open games coming up on stream. Tomorrow, 15 May at 1300 ET (1700 UTC) we'll have Stephen Parker taking on Timo Hetzel (Table 1.) Saturday, 16 May we'll have Table 4 with Paul Heaver taking on JF Gaudreau at 2000 ET (0000 UTC.) Time to party in the top 16! Stop by and hang out as much better players than us battle it out!

Getting started with another Top 16 game, Paul Heaver vs JF Gaudreau!

Jank Tank Open Top 8 Schedule! Three of the four games are streaming on https://www.twitch.tv/thexwingdebrief , while the fourth is on the Gundarks stream (annotated below!)

Today, 21 May at 9pm ET (1am UTC) we have Nathan Willcock vs Tsukuda Joe Congdon. Nathan is flying a true 5-ship separatist salad of death, with an electro-proton bomb (2 BBs, 2 Hyenas, and a Vulture!) while Joe is flying an initiative-reducing, tractoring, autopilot droning, beat down Scum squad.

Tomorrow, 22 May at 8pm ET (1200am UTC) we have JF Gaudreau facing off against Cam Murray. JF is attempting to somehow achieve greatness by pushing Odd Ball to the championship in a defensive, Jedi-fueled, Padme rocking Republic squad. Cam's running multiple Z-95s, thicc Palob, ANGLED DEFLECTORS Dalan in the Kimogila - munitions and bombs all over the place!

Saturday bright and early, 6am ET (10am UTC), Aaron Furminger attempts to defy the masses and take Berwer Kret to the promised land against Agata Pikulska's First Order might. Aaron's bringing three Hyenas and a palp Infiltrator to the fight, while Agata's list centers on the stoic Upsilon, the impressively consistent Quickdraw and Backdraft, and a 45 point generic TIE/FO! Will Aaron's Seps bow to the Supreme Leader of First Order jank? Tune into https://www.twitch.tv/fearlessgundarks for this game.

The final game of the weekend is Sunday at 3pm ET (7pm UTC.) Garrett Jost will take on Timo Hetzel! Garrett has the whale-hunter Ahhav, beefy StarViper power, and the droid resistance leader L3-37 in the escape craft amongst others! Can Timo's Imperial squad, led by the enigmatic Soontir Fel and the intimidating, barrage-rocketing, prox mining, beefed-up Captain Jonus, take out this Scum threat?

Schedule is of course subject to change based on player requirements, and all streams require consent from the two players. Anyway - hope you tune in or watch in Vassal!

Jank Tank Open Top 4!

Tomorrow, 30 May at 12pm ET (4pm UTC), we have Agata Pikulska v Tsukuda Joe Congdon on stream. We'll have special guest Bartosz Wojcicki on with Jonathan ( @NaKoaLani ) for this awesome game. Might of the First Order vs Joe's scummiest of the scum squad.

Sunday, 31 May at 8pm ET (12am UTC), we have JF Gaudreau v Garrett Jost. Jonathan and I will be hosting this game. Lets see if Odd Ball can continue his unlikely run backed by Lumi/Padme madness against Garrett's list of odd ball Scum heroes.

Come join us!
