jesper_h 679 Posted July 15, 2016 Hello everyone. Coruscant kicks off tomorrow and, reportedly, there will be no live stream setup from the tables. Alex Birt and myself (from 186th Squadron) will be attending and spectating. We're hoping to provide a running stream of live (written) updates throughout the tournament, posting them to our website. Don't yet know what the connectivity is going to be like at the venue, but we'll do our best. www.186th.org/news/coruscant-invitational-2016 17 AlexW, SmartCookie, Goffik and 14 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drjkel 1,352 Posted July 15, 2016 Did we ever find out what ships won the vote? HWK, Punisher, and StarViper. The first two are fully confirmed on Twitter, the other is what the players have been told, so it's very likely to be that. 1 EdgeOfDreams reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quack Shot 2,308 Posted July 15, 2016 They really aren't streaming? They made such a big deal about these Opens and the final is going to be pretty forgettable if no one streams it. 1 Rakky Wistol reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rinzler in a Tie 1,891 Posted July 15, 2016 According to one of the participants, the proper permissions (copy right law) were not requested in advance to stream the event. An attempt will be made to film the games for later publishing but "that too may be shut down"... Very upsetting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These were potentially going to be some of the most interesting games of the year. Top tier Starviper games are so interesting.

atr127 868 Posted July 15, 2016 I'm playing in it tomorrow and I'm quite annoyed. Still, will be good to have these updates at least. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deroche 278 Posted July 15, 2016 Someone stream it from their cell phone, I'll pay for their data rates. 1 atr127 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JacknifeUK 25 Posted July 15, 2016 Was at Celebration today and met Alex Davy. Awesome guy, super nice and had a great discussion with him on the state of the game, metas and the future of the game. Will be heading over to see some of the stuff going on there tomorrow, but sucks.we won't be able to get a full account of the performances streamed 1 Arttemis reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R2whistler 127 Posted July 16, 2016 no live stream that is major fail for FFG Not their fault by the sound of things. Sounds like it was. They didn't turn in the paperwork in time. FFG never streams anything outside their own Game Center. I doubt they even thought to do it, it was probably a third party that wanted to and got denied.

MajorJuggler 7,752 Posted July 16, 2016 Did we ever find out what ships won the vote? HWK, Punisher, and StarViper. The first two are fully confirmed on Twitter, the other is what the players have been told, so it's very likely to be that. It's the Starviper. I have been skirmishing with Ryan on and off for a few weeks now and it's confirmed. My understanding is that news articles are very delayed now because everything first needs to go through the business unit in charge of approving anything Star Wars related for PR release. (Lucasfilm, I think?) The approval process can take a couple months, so there simply wasn't enough time since the final vote to put out a news PR.

drjkel 1,352 Posted July 16, 2016 Yeah, they've now confirmed on Twitter. I knew it was the Viper, but knowing and it being publicly confirmed to all is not the same. I just channeled my work self and was overly factual Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
