See you soon brad. You can start dodging me as soon as possible to avoid embarrassment . just like last year

**ArbitorIan**

Bright yellow Tau army went through security without a hitch, display board in the luggage, sitting in the lounge at London Heathrow with a cup of tea awaiting my flights to geek central.

It's going to be a fun weekend - see you all in a few hours...

**haizelhoff**

Dear Mr. Brandt,

Will the streamed matches be stored so that we can watch them afterwards? The first game of the Invi starts 0.45 Finnish time and I have to wake up for work at 6.15

.

P.S. good luck Killswitch! Make Europe proud!
P.S.S. My butt still hurts from Novi Sad, luckily we have free healthcare in Finland.

**StyleXHobby**

I really wish I could go to this. Unfortunately I'll be elsewhere! Next trip is to Blue Table Painting in Utah, though.

**MVBrandt**

The live stream games will indeed be recorded!

**Glocknall**

Well just like a noob missed my flight to DC. How have to sit at the airport bar and drink until the next flight.

**Blackmoor**

This is the first time my army was pulled out for "additional screening".

Nova has decided to get serious about comp this year by enlisting the aid of the TSA.

Clearly, you were going to use your army of plastic toy soldiers to seize control of the plane.

**RiTides**

Where can we see updates on the Invitational round-by-round results / etc, once it kicks off? Or at least, I hope there is somewhere for this

Go Mannahnin! Dakka mods ftw

App.torrentoffire.com is where you should be able to find everything.

**Rickels**

Mannahnin is at Nova!? Who am I going to chat with on Ustream now?

**RiTides**

Yep, he's "Ragnar A." in the list for the Invitational

**Rickels**

I know who he is, he is just usually my buddy on ustream for this. This year might be a bit more boring without him...

**RiTides**

Ah okay

. I realized that might be the case after I made the post, but left it in case other Dakkanauts weren't sure who we should all be rooting for...

(Kidding, of course- although I am hoping a Dakkanaut takes the invitational! We've got Hulksmash and a number of others in there, too

)

Checking in bright and early tomorrow morning. Getting pumped for my 3rd NOVA. It is such a great event, and I am very appreciative to all of those who make it happen

**MVBrandt**

Invitational wise, and then there were eight.

Mannahnin is getting savaged. Ouch.

**Norbu the Destroyer**

Anyone know the 8??? I saw Aaron A. win, I heard Nick N. is undefeated, thats it. Must be some sort of illiteration boost. If anyone knows the other 6 and they post them it would be most appreciated.

**pretre**

Nick is still going strong though!

Yeah, I'd love to have Torrent list the army that the person brought.

Just for info of those on Dakka, the player on the live stream (bottom of the screen) is Labmouse from Dakka.
