Shout-outs!
It has been a while since I made a post. Sorry about that. I do want to give some credits to the amazing tournaments I went to the last few weeks.
Store Championship Charleroi
A few weekends ago I flew Dengar/Nym for the first time at the Store Championship in at Ludotrotter in Charleroi. I played Fabrice, Jean-Christophe, Arnaud, Laurent and Benoit and went 2-3 finishing 13th out of 23.
I flew Dengar/Nym, but without any previous experience. I'm a quite aggressive player and my Nym usually doesn't survive it to round 3 as I fail to keep it out of arcs. Dengar on the other hand is a beast with a very good action-economy. There is a reason this list is doing so good in the current meta.
Rostbaerdt Cup
The weekend after there was a small 60-point at Demo-Spel. Great fun with some really good players. I went for fun and giggles and brought Death! Off course if the opponents all continue to roll 3 blanksies on those Proximity Mines it doesn't do as much Death :).
With a 1-3 record I came in 7th of 12 players. Table 1 of the Rostbaerdt Cup is saved on twitch.tv. Congratulations to Nick for his first tournament win!
German National Championships
Having noticed I'm not too good with Dengar/Nym I made a last-minute decision to switch lists and go with my Kanan-Biggs from the Europeans. Wasn't an horrible decision, but I missed just enough punch to kill the very prevalent Dengar/Nym lists. I went 2-4, but two of those matches came down to the last health on the opponent's ships. Then again, the only hull that count is the difference between 1 and 0.
I uploaded a collections of pictures for your viewing pleasure. Apologies if I played you and your picture did not get on here. I do hope I gave you my alt-art cards!

Saturday evening the guys from Aggromech hosted a 'Looping Chewie' tournament. Everyone also got a double sided Chewbacca alt art card! Thanks guys. great fun!
Brainfreeze Tournament
Sunday early morning I had a drive back to Belgium, immediately going to Sint-Niklaas for the Brainfreeze tournament, powered by HQ Games.
I decided on switching sides again and went Dengar/Nym. Lack of sleep made for a very interesting 2 first games, where I lost Nym immediately and had Dengar surviving on half health. The last 2 games went worse as my positioning was terrible. Dengar dies first and Nym is just outclassed. 2-2 resulted in a 10th spot out of 14 players.

Store Championship Leuven
Next weekend (Sept 3rd) I'm organizing my own Store Championship. There are still places available if you're interested! Can't promise a stream as I don't know if there's wi-fi in the venue.
Facebook contest
On the facebook-page for this blog there is a contest going on. Like the page (not a post or something) and at the start of September there will be a draw among all people liking the page, with a chance to win some FFG alt-art cards.
See you all next time!
