So....I didn’t do too badly, 13th out of 34, not bad for a first regional

1st round

Opponent’s list

(99)

•Asajj Ventress (48) - Lancer-class Pursuit Craft Push The Limit (3), •Latts Razzi (2), Glitterstim (2), Inertial Dampeners (1), Countermeasures (3)

•Ketsu Onyo (51) - Lancer-class Pursuit Craft Veteran Instincts (1), •Dengar (3), Inertial Dampeners (1), Glitterstim (2), Shadow Caster (3), Gyroscopic Targeting (3)

I believe that’s what it was anyways

I slow rolled and let the lancers come to me, baby blue in the lead, bomber threw bombs and stuff, while Poe danced, two blinded pilots saved my bomber from having ventress kill it, then it was only a matter of time before Poe and the bomber killed ketsu

Win 100-43

Round two

Opponent’s list

(97)

•Rear Admiral Chiraneau (63) - VT-49 Decimator Veteran Instincts (1), •Kylo Ren (3), •Moff Jerjerrod (2), Gunner (5), •Dauntless (2), Engine Upgrade (4)

•"Quickdraw" (34) - TIE/SF Fighter Veteran Instincts (1), Fire Control System (2), Special Ops Training (0), Lightweight Frame (2)

I set up in the corner opposite of him, baby blue and QuickDraw exchanged blows, baby blue losing all three shields instantly, then the rear admiral got in the fight, assigned damaged cockpit to Poe, QuickDraw only ever got one retaliatory shot, killing the baby blue before the bomber killed QuickDraw, it came down to a one hull bomber vs a one hull decimator, he forgot to gunner, I launched a bomb and turned in, he went too fast, double crit on bomblet generator

Win 100-82

Round 3

A guy from OCX or at least had one of their shirts

His list

(100)

Contracted Scout (26) - JumpMaster 5000 Trick Shot (0), Courier Droid (0), Rigged Cargo Chute (1)

•Asajj Ventress (47) - Lancer-class Pursuit Craft Push The Limit (3), •Latts Razzi (2), Contraband Cybernetics (1), Contraband Cybernetics (1), Shadow Caster (3)

Contracted Scout (27) - JumpMaster 5000 Trick Shot (0), Intelligence Agent (1), Rigged Cargo Chute (1)

I like to think I’ve learned from past mistakes and will no longer rush in, but I saw the opportunity to get behind ventress and it cost me greatly, getting only one jump and half of ventress

Loss 49-100

Round 4

This is a guy that all of 509 squadron (name of my local gaming group) knows is a cheater, so I asked him for us to share components, he obliged but was fairly rude about it

(91)

•Sunny Bounder (12) - M3-A "Scyk" Interceptor "Light Scyk" Interceptor (-2)

•Fenn Rau (34) - Protectorate Starfighter Push The Limit (3), Concord Dawn Protector (1), Autothrusters (2)

•Ketsu Onyo (45) - Lancer-class Pursuit Craft Veteran Instincts (1), •Dengar (3), Shadow Caster (3)

Plus some stuff I forgot

I sent the baby blue up in poe’s Black one to fight sunny while the bomber and Poe turned to face ketsu and fenn, I shot at fenn range two with Poe, controlling range so I couldn’t be tractored, and dealt three damage to fenn, killing him next round with a bomblet, baby blue killed sunny, and it was all over from there, the x-wings shot the lancer down with everything they had

Win 100-36

Round 5

Okay, The is it, if I beat the guy, I have a chance for the cut...oh come on it’s the third four and 0 guy paired down, if all the times to win a lottery

His list (dubbed by 509 as “the wall”)

(100)

•Lowhhrick (37) - Auzituck Gunship Selflessness (1), Jyn Erso (2), •Kanan Jarrus (3), •Experimental Interface (3)

•Rey (63) - YT-1300 Expertise (4), •Finn (5), •C-3PO (3), •Millennium Falcon (evade) (1), Smuggling Compartment (0), Scavenger Crane (2), Countermeasures (3)

I immediately went for lowhhrick, knowing if I kill him I have a fighting chance, I traded my bomber for killing him, but both x-wings were hurting badly, as was Rey, it came down to a range one shot from a one hull Poe into a one hull Rey, I am more than willing to spend my focus to kill this damn Jedi...hit blank blank blank....and just like that, hopes of top 8 were smashed

Loss 69-100

All in all, I had fun and loved every second of the event, learned I need to control myself and that in the end it’s a damn dice game
