Just finished my game with Minijedi! I've played with him in the past, and while not much recently, I heard he's been improving greatly and was warned he was going to be one of my toughest matches during this tournament! He did not disappoint, and in the end a few rolls (inits, mostly) going the other way could have changed our game.

In the end, I won 216-93 in regulation time.

We played on his map (Spynet)

I played my squad:

The Rule of 2 Squared
Darth Maul, Instrument of Fear (Legends)
Durge, Gen'dai Hunter (Legends)
General Grievous, Hero of Hypori
Darth Sidious
Gamorrean Bodyguard (never have really run with them in base squads much, but had points and he ended up being quite useful!)
R7 Astromech Droid
Ugnaught Demolitionist x3
200 exactly.

Mj ran Legends Revan with Legends Bastila, Meetra Surik from VoW, good ol' Juhani, T3 (gotta have him!) and a Chadra/Uggie.

Round one we advanced, he took Revan to gambit with a Surprise Move. I was starting on the right and mostly filled the door to come out.

Round 2, I put 60 on Meetra with Durge early, but she healed 20 of it then moved to cover. I waited him out, with a bodyguard there to protect my big baddies, to see if he'd make a move with Revan, just in case. He moved everyone else up in to a nice protective huddle, but I have a certain Darth JUST for that situation . Grievous moved up to set up for a big SBA move next round, and Maul moved up. Sid then pawned him. He moved in and had some fun (took 20 from AOOs from Revan) with LS Sweep. Dealt 20 to Revan, 40 to T3 (but Meetra saved 20 of it so he lived, because, well, he's T3), 40 to Meetra (Makashi saved both times) and damaged Juhani.

Round 3 I won init and had an 80 HP Maul left. Bastila healed most of the damage that had gone around, and I swept again. T3 died, Revan took some damage, Juhani was nearly killed but saved by a timely LS Throw Defense from Meetra. Bastila came and attacked Maul, as well as Meetra. Maul was left at 50 HP at the end of it. Then I pawned Maul and killed Juhani, brough Revan down a bit more, Bastila was left at 90 and Meetra saved some Makashi.

Then we realized that Mini had forgotten a +3 Attack bonus from the Revanchist, so we put 10 on Maul for a previous roll by Juhani that would have hit with the +3. Then I took a look at Juhani and remembered she had LS Duelist! So I reminded Mj of this and then remembered 2 attacks I took with Maul that would have missed with the +4 bonus, so we brought her back to life and restored 40 of her HP.

I then dropped a bodyguard in to support Maul, who still had 40 HP. He ended up with 20 left after the rest of Mj's pieces went on their tirades, with the bodyguard having 10 left.

Then Grievous rolls in and kills her for the 3rd time, sick of her defiance. Except he missed a roll and was left with 10 HP still... I believe he dealt 30 to the Exile, who Makashi saved the other attack. 30 to Bastila and whaled on Revan, who was dropped from 100 to 40.

Durge came in and, just to be safe (would have needed to roll 2 6s out of 3 rolls to kill Revan, due to him having Dark Master from Sidious, but Juhani and Bastila also took 40 this way), flamethrew the lot of them, killing Maul after all his noble efforts, as well as the bodyguard.

I won the next init as well and Meetra put 40 on Grievous, who failed both Makashi saves, as I let Mj make first move this time around. Then Grievous Spinning-Blade-Attacked her and Bastila. Bastila was dropped to 20, Meetra Makashi saved the damage and still had 60.

To take care of these issues, Sidious electrocuted Bastila, with just a taste of the Dark Side (to whet her appetite, of course . Perhaps a future apprentice...?), and Durge let his blaster talk, because he didn't feel that the exiled Jedi scum was worth his breath. Upon the Exiles execution (I'd already eliminated his Uggie on an AOO from one of my own), all that was left to resist the Sith, Cyborg and Gen'dai was a helpless little hacker, a Chadra-Fan to be exact.

Darth Maul has the 'Pawn' ability, allowing Sidious to Pawn him

Pardon my ignorance!

And that's really cool!

Check out the Maul, he is in the Legends set, look at all the cool interactions you can do with him and that Sidious.
And I agree, it's a pretty cool combo!

I also wanted to make a quick correction. I originally posted that the winners of each division are the only teams that get to play in the playoffs for the cash. That was a mistake on my behalf. It's the 4 Divisional Winners, and then there are 2 wildcard teams that get a shot. The wild card spots go to the team with the best records after the 4 divisional champions. The two players ranked the highest get a bye, and play the winners of the wild card round in the semi finals. Once again, that was a mistake on my behalf thanks to Trevor Cook for pointing that out to me.

2 Wildcard was all Trevor, and it came in at the end. Which is why the detail slipped through the crack on the initial unveiling of the 4 Divisions.

LUV U 2

Hurry back, baby!

...

He called me 'dear'!

I will not run the same squad again.
P.S. the name of the squad is "The Patriarch"

It was a blast of a game. thanks for a great match! I really liked playing against your squad, great build

Yeah, I wasn't sure i could get away with just posting the score of the matchup, cause i got to let people know we had legal squads and all that. I guess i should ask Ultrastar: What needs to be posted when it comes to results for the tournament? In all the tournaments I've been in we need to post our squads (even tho i'd like to surprise people with mine). Sorry if posting the squad you played factored into your decision to not play it again. It is a really good squad and I think it would do well in the rest of this tournament. I posted my squad also, so the cats out of the bag on that one. I might play it again, might not. I got a lot of squads i want to try in this tournament. But I think your a good player and will do well in the rest of the tourney, so best of luck to ya man!

Just a reminder to everyone. SHNN tonight. 10 Eastern time, 9 Central.
