Just have seen this great possibility for qualifying. Quick question: till when one has the chance to earn the points? In worst case, I would need 21 games, this might take some time... ? Seriously, is there any deadline?

Until the tournament starts.  First people to clear 21 get the reserved spots.  Then we start numbering standbyes.

@clontroper5 vs brobafett ends with a 10-1 to brobafett

Qubed is a fun and nasty list, but I got the motti chain explosion set up, which never ends well.

Was that a bounty without me even know It? Or just a normal Fight

I'd like to volunteer for a bounty.  I'm trying to figure out how to run a two-ship build, so I won't be running my usual lists (RCAF or Raddus or L+MSU). 

So expect some super sub-optimal lists!

Give this man some love!  We're paying out 6 Million Double Dollars a the player that loses to him, instead of whatever you would normally get.  That's almost like winning!

****, we'll even offer it twice.  The first two players to lose to Roquax get the bounty.

[BiggsIRL 6,717]

@clontroper5 just recently got back, so he's probably still rusty.  He need to know all the new toys.

Beat him with a list consisting of ONLY ships, squadrons, upgrade cards, and objectives released AFTER Wave 2 for 5 Million Double Dollars more!  Beat him with an objective that uses Dust Clouds for an extra 3 Million! 

That's 8 Million!

That's a plan!

[clontroper5 4,232]

Also just to clarify since I have never played with dust clouds before.... Which objectives have dust clouds? I think salvage run does any others?

So @Karneck doesn't get the bounty because he actually beat me!

Also, not playing two-ship anymore, it's trash.  But I will be trying out some zany new concepts.

Close range intel scan. Jamming barrier. Salvage run.

So that would exclude stuff like Leading Shots that was in the CR90 pack (W1) despite also being on the Interdictor?

Correct!

[BiggsIRL 6,717]

@Viktor Tanek invites you to a pillow party.  5 Million Double Dollars for beating him!

One catch:  EVERY SHIP MUST BE AN INTERDICTOR

Yours, his, if it's on a ship base it's an Interdictor.

[BrobaFett 4,209]

@BiggsIRL

Since I'm not qualified, evidently, I played skycake this afternoon.

10-1 to me.

 

NOW I'm qualified?

[Maturin 1,583]

Just played CyborgNinja, using his Sensor Net.  His VCX's did mean work shuffling those tokens around, but I managed to get some lucky dice and got the 10-1.

 

I need two more points!

 

[Karneck 1,986]

Karneck v @TallGiraffe results in a 10-1 to Karneck.

I do believe this puts me at 24 points needed for entry?

[NairoD 214]

Hi all. Today I will play at 21.00-22.00 GMT+1

I look forward for other games to film those astronomic 21 points to get to the Worlds

[NebulonB 793]

Neb vs Rapid Reload, 6/5, played Nov 2 20.30 CET

To be fair. I wasn't playing Seriously. 

[Viktor Tanek 287]

We've received reports of a rogue band operating stolen experimental technology in the Vassal Nebula......

 

Edit: The rogues have jumped to hyperspace, but reports indicate they will return in a few days time.

@Irishmadcat vs NairoD

207 to 219 for me. Won by 12 pts so 5-6 in clasification. Was hard to cunter Raddus (In round 3 I was close to tabling raddus but rolled blank on black dice), black squadron was hero of the day. Took triple more punishment from enemy squadrons than  he should survive delivering 7 hits from counter to enemy squadrons

[Rikash 132]

@Irishmadcat vs Rikash ends in a 9-2 (356 - 108) in my favor.  Rasproteus' vader list - demo + raider2/HIE/DCaps + QBT on ISD vs an insane Dodonna hammerhead list (7 hammers with TFO, assault pelta with ahsoka, IF, dodonna, comms gr75) was bloody. I had the bid and took first. ISD dodged 4 hammerhead shots on turn 2 by dropping to 0 and then firsted to weaken (nearly kill) 2. My raider2 then popped Dcaps to finish the two (by ramming + 3 blues at long) and set up a double arc on another hammerhead. Poor dice luck and corona hatred (which was going on all game long) kept the raider alive on one. It promptly 1 shot the hammerhead it was double arcing and zoomed off at speed 4 trailing flames. ISD + arquitens cleaned up, though both kittens did pay with their lives. 1 lonely hammerhead of the Seven Dwarves remains at large and wanted by the Imperial authorities.

[CyborgNinja 467]

CyborgNinja vs @Maturin --- rematch time.

Dodonna vs. Sato --- he picked my Precision Strike. Turned into a 9/2 win for me after some close calls with MC30s.

[Angry Ewok 54]

Played Karneck last night. 10-1 to me turns out yavaris is still pretty good.  Props. To Karneck for an interesting no ship A ckbar list
