Dammit. Sorry I didn’t introduce myself, @xavi. Figured you were a Stimhacker. Nice to put faces to names, kids!

@aandries was renovating the Oaktown district during regionals and won? Good to see brand new cards making splashes. Also that Blue Sun finally won.

Fun fact… With Blue Sun winning, every faction in the game now has a Regional win in the States. If the Tournament Winning Decklists page is to be believed and I’m not mistaken, this never happened in 2013 (NBN didn’t win one) or 2014 (Weyland didn’t win one*).

*Only true stateside. Looks like 2014 had four Weyland decks win Regionals, all outside the US.

2013 ‘Regionals’ were really SCs.

That was me! I was 5th or 6th seed and promptly knocked out of top 8 without getting a chance to play PE :frowning:

I’m not sure how many people saw the sheets I made up with the statistics of IDs represented since it was after most people other than the top 8 had left. I thought people here might be interested though.

Overall by faction:

Runner ID Breakdown:

Corp ID Breakdown:

Even though Weyland and Criminal were by far the least represented, @aandries won the whole thing with Blue Sun and Leela. So my take away, play what you feel is really strong and what you play well, not just what everyone says are the best decks.

Thanks spags! I had a blast playing with so many excellent players, and it feels so good to have finally broken into the top 8 at a premier event. I look forward to hopefully seeing all of you again at the Minneapolis Regional.

I still can’t figure out why FFG made an operation that lets the runner draw 6 cards WTF? :open_mouth:

10 Leelas! 10!

In the right hands Leela is one of the best runners. If your corp deck can’t breath and can’t figure out how to play redundantly then she’ll take you apart.

I took out the only leela I ran against, but that’s because OCTGN taught me some tricks:

  1. Try to keep at least 2 “stopper” ice on centrals that aren’t rezzed yet if you haven’t had a chance to rez anything. When you hit mid-late game, you want 3 ice deep centrals in some cases.

  2. If you’re going to score an agenda, try to have a click left over after scoring the agenda (and money) to replace anything that’s bounced.

  3. Try to use her ability to build yourself stronger servers by placing positional ice in its best place.

But, yes, we love our leelas out here.

Yeah, looks like Leela was the second most popular runner of the day. It speaks to the interesting place Criminal is in. Not a weak faction by any means, since they’re second most popular ID and winner of the tournament, but not at all diverse. Anarch and Shaper have a ton of breadth in faction. Criminal is very good at the one or two things you can do with Blue, but outside of that there is little point.
