Anyone have an idea on who is playing what at LVO? They're posting occasional results by name, but curious who is playing what.

Least you can find some results. I cant find anything.

well remember how crazy it is to run a event... Frontline site is updating scores and current standings. I think its 1000 a win, 500 a tie, 0 a loss. So the guys at 3000 are the undefeated. From what I understand Twitch will cover the finals tomorrow, but as for today we are in the dark on true accuracy or up to dates.

Frontlinegaming.com has the pairings listed but doesn't say what army each player has. It's also hard to read sieems a full win is worth 1000 and a tie is 500 so undefeated players from yesterday have 3000.xx
Seems they had 128 or 129 tables so 256-258 players just for the championship which is a huge turnout.

Yeah, I'm not expecting anything additional from the Frontline guys - I'm just wondering if anyone there are checking forums in off times and can post armies by player.

What do you mean, time off? They got here thursday, set up, and probably won't sleep until after they pack back up monday. Turns out running a 256 player 40k tournament plus about a dozen other simultanious events is a bit of work. Providing in depth coverage online takes second place to making sure the event runs well for the people actually attending.

OR, they could have planned ahead and had someone taking care of this? I was told they were going to be using some new live pairings system of some sort. It looks like a screen shot from Excel. On top of that, it isn't "live" at all. My favorite is the alphabetic pairings once sorted by bracket... bravo.

Players, people at the event - that's who I'm asking, not Reece and Frankie. I can see on the FLG website what they will provide for now. I was just hoping people with more direct contact than I have could provide any level of visibility beyond what we have. I was able to follow along in detail last year. This year I can't so I'm trying to get any information I can to live vicariously and get insight into how the event is going.

Put this into a google drive spreadsheet so you can sort it and see who the top guys are.

Don't have anything regarding armies though. And I don't expect much from folks at the event. Its in Vegas -- much better things to do then post army lists. Have a buddy there and other than hearing how he did I am not expecting much else till he gets back.

feth Nids! Ugh! There's your update...

The updates and pairings are really hard to understand on FLG. No torrent of fire coverage? Major blog dudes? Any of that?

They are using some form of software other than Torrent; maybe is still being developed in terms of getting to the high quality reporting and data feed aspects of Torrent. Gotta start with functionality, and all that.

Yeah I was like why are you not using Torrent of Fire, but it's probably a system their developing on their own maybe?

Anyway yeah it's hard to keep track of.

The latest update was great some surprises in the top undefeated 13. Not a single necron or knight and only one tyranid list is undefeated and the tyranid list has demon allies. An ork horde, single tau enclave, and the rest is space marines and ig and eldar.

No IKs, huh.

Currently sitting at the top of the pack with a 4-0 record is;

Matt Root Orks/Orks

Alan B. (PJ Pants) Chaos Daemons/Tyranids

Brandon Grant Dark Angels/Astra Mil

Nick Nanavati Chaos Daemons/Inquisition

Isreal Sanchez Tau Enclave

Nathanal Woolhouse Eldar/Dark Eldar

John Parsons Eldar

Michael Kiser Adeptius Sororitas/Astra Mil

Tyler DeVries Eldar

Ben Cromwell Eldar

Cooper Waddell Space Marines

Ian Ager Space Wolves

What's the Ork player playing that's interesting.

I would guess one big man unit of like 150+ fearless boyz and a few small units to grab objectives.

GO GO KISER, rooting for you man!

Eldar still massively overrepresented as you'd expect, but some interesting armies up there. Very interested in marine lists and the orks. Still makes me hate Eldar.

Green tide
It's extremely hard for competitve lists to deal with a single fearless unit of 103+ Orks that move, run, charge w rerolls each turn and has 7-8 str8-10 ap2 powerklaws and 94 str 4 boyz all with 3-4 atks on the charge, toughness 4 and 5+ fnp. And potentially for hammer of wrath hits as well.

And you can make them semi immune to shooting and overwatch with a void shield generator giving them 3 av12 regerating shields that the entire tide gets to keep as long as 1 ork is within 12 inches of the generator.

That's the jist of the list you then Get to add about another 800 points of support units. No idea what the ork player exact list entails but it's something like that.

Either Bullyboyz or Greentide. I can't remember which list he decided to go with.

I wonder what Alan is running.

Interesting. Thanks other Alan

Brown, ben, myself, nick rose are all 5 0, not sure about the other 2.

Thanks for the update! Seems like a lot of the guys with one loss as of round 3 have a solid shot of final day. IE: Fennel and Nayden specifically.

Wonder if Kiser is still running strong with his sisters/am.

Pretty cool to see a Ork player in the running at the top there.

Any other posts about what he's running?

Other than green tide?

I took some pictures from the top tables and will post them later this evening. Steve Sisk is fighting Alex Fennel and Alan B is fighting Nick... Both games look really tight. Tomorrow it's all going to be streamed.
