*Very important:
The name of this squad is "Jake K's 2011 squad"

At the last minute Jake asked if I wanted to play his squad from last year. He brought it with him but decided to play Fallen Angel instead. I wrestled with it a bit, but decided to go for it with only a minor change. I dropped 3 workers for the 2 advance scouts. That way I had 2 super stealthies that could actually earn gambit and throw thud bugs.

Jake got 2nd at both Wisconsin and Kokomo IN regionals last year. He lost both finals matches to me. In bittersweet irony, I finally get it to win a regional.

I never played the squad before today. I certainly have played AGAINST it enough. Beating it (barely) 5 times at regional tournaments last year made me understand the other end of the squad. Playing it is another matter.

Lobot was MVP by far. My biggest fear was running into another Lobot, since there are so many options of tech to help counter my team. (I know because its the only way I beat Jake last year). Luckily, only Jake brought Lobot to this regional, and I never faced him.

I beat OR twice, Sith x 2 and Mandos.

I had to face Atton Jaq Rand in 4 matches. In the second
match Atton made 6 (yes, SIX) avoid defeat saves in a row. Thats not even counting the spit posion saves that he made that would have killed him too. I nearly lost that match due to that ridiculousness.

But I pulled it off for regional title number 6.
