Eh. I've heard of a Poe/Jake/Kyle list that's done well on the competitive scene, featuring Kyle with Autoblaster Turret, Crew-bacca, Adaptability, and the Title. Bumping up to PS7, Kyle matches Old Teroch's native PS. Depending on initiative bid, a PTL Teroch could be moving first. Even if Teroch accurately predicts where Kyle will be for the Token stopping nonsense, Kyle can simply Target Lock. He may lose a bit of a Focus battery, but he can reliably put out unstoppable damage at Range 1. Assuming PTL Teroch, Jake and Poe both have PS advantage over him and can put the hurt on him as well. VI Teroch just comes down to initiative with Jake, with Poe still proving a capable chaser. And with two extra health (courtesy of Chewie), Kyle's HWK isn't quite as fragile as it usually is.

If you're playing in any multi-game setting, like a tournament, where you use the same squad all day, you have to adapt to the challenges other lists pose for yours. ABT Kyle in this list would simply have to adapt Focusing for TLs if Teroch's coming to shut him down. The Protectorate Fighter's still only got 4 hull and no evade action. Two unstoppable hits in just one round puts Teroch at half health. At that point, it's risk/reward. If Teroch wants to go nose to nose with Kyle, the Concord Dawn Protector Title isn't going to save him the hits. He can shut down the battery, but at a risk of being picked off by a Kyle opting to TL, or any of his higher PS allies swooping in to hit Teroch from behind.

Kyle may have TLT, you're right. But if he has ABT (and Chewie for health support), he's not going down to Teroch without a fight. Teroch could rip apart a TLT + RecSpec Kyle, laughing all the way to the bank as he does, but he'd be wise to watch this matchup.
