So my Round 5, I was kinda still expecting to lose a game and get eliminated before making day 2, just hoping that loss would come sooner than later, although a couple good matchups had put me at 2-2 with an average MOV (two 100-0s, one 0-100, and a 26-100).

My next match was another one that I thought was a bad matchup, Rey Lolrichard. Rey was pretty conventional, the same as above with the new Millennium Condor title, Expertise, Kanan, and Finn, although this one had an Engine Upgrade. Lolrichard had Predator, Tactician, and Threepio on board.

There's few, if any obstacles in the north east part of the board, although there's obstacles around the south east, south west, north west, and center of the board. My opponent starts in the north west, while I try to bait him towards the asteroids. His Rey has a choice to boost inwards and to take a range 3 obstructed shot at my HLC Nu who has no tokens without any shots returning at her, but she winds up with the largest rock in the center being in front of her at range 1.5. Rey fails to get all hits on her dice like she typically does, and only gets 3 hits on her 4 dice, whereas the Gunboat rolled 3 natural evades on its 4 green dice! That set the tone for a lot of the match dicewise, Rey failing to get her full hits whereas I had some really good green dice. In the follow ups, I managed to get full damage on Rey, with Rey only rolling a single evade which got Juked with no focus to convert it back. At one point, Rey took a range 1 shot at Ryad, but only got 4 hits on her 5 dice and Ryad proceeds to roll all paint, keeping her stealth device. Rey went down and I hadn't even taken a shot, it was very onesided dicewise, although getting greedy and taking the shot on the Gunboat hadn't helped her for her positioning. At that point I had to chase Lolrichard down, who's generally not great at doing the offensive lifting of the squad and has troubles turning around, and the dice were still being very friendly to me and not friendly to my opponent, I took my first damage when Lolrichard was down to 1 hull. 100-0, sitting at 3-2, and need one more victory to make Day 2.

Will try to get the last of the rounds written up later!
