Blail Blerg 6,908 Posted November 1, 2015 Almost anything winning now is awesome. Imperial? Cool. Scum TLT? Cool! Paul Heaver with Fat Han a 3rd time in a row? Kinda cool too. At least, I think if Heaver wins a 3rd time, it will be awesome. 3 Flyingbrick, skotothalamos and zerotc reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hondo Ohnaka 618 Posted November 1, 2015 First four are going to be three almost identical Vader lists and a pair of brobots. No quad tlt list will appear in top 16. Someone who didn't get the joke will probably attempt to coerce players into signing a petition. 2 catachanninja and Antipodean Ork reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Punning Pundit 4,742 Posted November 1, 2015 After the event is over, please someone buy MJ a drink. I'd do it myself, but I'll be about 2000 miles from the actual event. I say "after the event" because I have this feeling that alcohol plus multi-day intellectual exercises don't mix all that well. 4 DR4CO, MajorJuggler, Rakky Wistol and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Punning Pundit 4,742 Posted November 1, 2015 I say "after the event" because I have this feeling that alcohol plus multi-day intellectual exercises don't mix all that well. You've clearly never been to an academic conference. But the only way to win those is _not to play_. Unlike X-Wing. Which I assume MJ would like to win. 2 ThatJakeGuy and Biophysical reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DekoPuma 634 Posted November 2, 2015 Isn't it 256 players in the field? Yeah, 8 rounds will be brutal... If they go by their own guidelines, there needs to be 257+ people to get to 8 rounds, but they haven't announced any numbers yet as far as I can tell. Three more days to find out!
