A complete list of scores in a spreadsheet.

A public affairs rep would be great at events like this. I think the organizers may underestimate the outside interests of these events. Someones roll there could/should be pumping this info out via blog, video, or something.

I guess my standard to compare is how NOVA does it. They have dudes come in and "cover" the event. List, wins, players... heck Ive spent much of a weekend watching live play at table one before!

Just one humble fans opinion.

when are the broadcasts staring and where? Anyone have a time and link?

@tsilber: I finished 5-1. Lost to Tyler's Eldar in round 5.

Ahh man, Love to hear about the match ups next we play at the same tourney.

Hell of a good showing though man! Heck of a good showing.
And it doesnt look like you missed final day by much either.

can anyone give me a rough idea how many hours from now will the games be streamed? i live across the globe, so it's hard to tell.

No idea when, but

Not sure when the feed starts but round 7 starts 10am pacific standard time or UTC-08:00.

This tournament was awesome out of 256 players with most lord of wars and all forgeworkd legal so many Codexs were competitive and only 22 players went 5-1 and 3 are 6-0. This tournament was extremely well balanced rules wise. No unit dominated the scene. While quite a few people played flyrants only 1 tyranid list made it to the championship round and it's not even undefeated. This tournament seemed so close that the eventual winner may not even be undefeated. I'm very impressed by the first majot tourney of the year and games workshop putting out a relatively balanced ruleset considering every army is now updated to 6th/7th edition. Other then necrons whose book just came out was there any codexs that weren't able to go 5-1?

I forget was admantium lance legal for LVO?

I love some of the allies, NIck N should be ashamed! All the tau using Nids, shame!

But I think the story here is, what is the CSM/Deamon list. Is it a DP and 2 units of cultist and the rest deamons or what?

Egh inqusition and demons are fluffy. Reading the inquisition codex other than a few die hard anti chaos inqusitors. They all seem to make pacts with demons or use chaos for thier own agenda. Look at demon host units as an example. Even reportedly purists like Cortez dabbles with chaos to extend his life.

Now tyranid and Tau allies is just wrong. Lol

Nevermind

My tone was lost, I actually could careless what people run for allies. The rules say it so let it be done, part of the game and honestly doesnt bother me at all. I was just making a joke and busting some stones. Ally whatever you like, whenever you like.

Still funny to see... regardless fluff reason behind it, comical.

Lot of diversity in the top 8, but ultimately about the same levels of popularity across the field.

Interesting to see the win rate of GK and Tyranids, though. GK being surprisingly high, Tyranids surprisingly low.



* Of note: the posted stats do not include anyone that dropped out, meaning the statistics do not include a lot of losses if we assume that people who dropped did so with negative records. Best I could do, folks.

I would say that's because of censtar which makes it seem deceiving. Without Loth I would imagine those numbers dip a tad. Just a guess though.

Completely agree that this is a cent-star lead statistics. Draigo's auto gate + Loth providing Invis, or Tiggy/Libby looking for Invis and Perfect timing.

Interesting how even with all the hate and bad press Eldar get, SM Codex is the most popular with a nearly similar win rate.

Love it.

Eldar aren't the most popular, they don't have anywhere close to the best win rate, and they aren't anywhere close to the most represented faction in the top10. Overall if one would be inclined to jump into conclusions the Eldar seem quite balanced compared to let's say Chaos Demons and Knights.

Wonder if the pairings for the top 8 are like most events.... 1/8, 2/7, 3/6, 4/5? If so those should be some very interesting matchups and games.

As far as I can tell going into round 6, 3 of the undefeateds were eldar players (myself, ben, and Tyler ) I played tyler, the game literally came down to a dice roll to determine the winner, and the round before I played eldar as well, so I know alot of eldar players knocked each other out.
the problem I ran into, was because I lost malestrom in quite a few games, so once I lost I was out ( idropped all the way to 21, from 4th)

I think the book is quite strong, but with anything you need alot of pratice, I played about 45 lvo test games over the course of the last 2 and a half months.

That's a shame. Outside of Sean's list, I would have preferred you and Nick to rep the east coast for the finals. Now we see if Sean can get there. Either way, I love his list being in the top 8

Actually, no. Top GKs is a centstar, but I pulled 14th with Imperial Knights as my secondary.

Some cool notes on the event

Every other list besides yours that featured GK primary was GK + Marines, except for a GK + Wolves player. So.... actually yeah.

What's in his army?

How does LVO rule grav shooting? Model by model or majority armor?

Is there anything to rule ? I thought the rules where pretty clear that you use the majority of save in target unit when the grav wounds ? Never heard of anything else. Just like to wound against T.

Assuming you mean Sean since Nick's list is a page back. Stole this from another thread:

OrdoSean is in the top 8 currently - very tough opponent indeed. What list was he using?

its a less extreme version of lictor shame. 3 flyrants. No Genestealers. He will be playing on twitch Sunday, and he is a friendly guy that will probably batrep the tourney.

Interesting thing about LVO. There is a chance there are more flyrants than tactical marines.

His old #Lictorshame list consisted of 9 Lictors, but it appears that he is only using 4 this time. Tyranids with Tyranid allies can't get more than that, and I believe under the LVO format you can't have CAD + Allies + formation as that would be three sources. Otherwise I'm quite certain he would have enjoyed bringing the Deathleaper Assassin Brood

That would be especially tedious as each wound could potentially need to be allocated individually if there was a difference on a model-to-model basis. I can't see any major TO ruling that it works this way.

I had a librarian, 2 5 man terminator squads, 3 dreadknights, and 2 imperial knights. Fun list, but it needs a fire raptor. Can't kill FMCs. I figured going in I couldn't make top 8, but I got about as close as possible without running SM allies instead.

Whats the Space Marine / Blood Angel player playing, also the Twitch stream doesn't seem to be working?

Sad days for Blood Angels on the win % chart. :(
