Bump because this is going down tomorrow and we’ve added free food to the list of reasons to come, if friendly competition, top-notch prizes, and a boatload of participation promos weren’t sufficient :)!

This was a great event, and I just wanted to share some stats and news about the day now that I have some free time :smile:

We had 25 folks come out to run the nets, the biggest turnout in Michigan to date (though tomorrow’s regionals will certainly eclipse that number!) and we had a good time playing in a very diverse meta.

We had 15 different corp IDs, including five different corp IDs in the top 8 and four different IDs in the top 4:

  1. JRP: 4
  2. ETF: 3
  3. JBiotech: 3
  4. NEH: 2
  5. Blue Sun: 2
  6. GRNDL: 1
  7. Nisei Division: 1
  8. NEXT: 1
  9. Titan: 1
  10. Making News: 1
  11. Cybernetics Div: 1
  12. JPE: 1
  13. BaBW: 1
  14. BwBi: 1
  15. Harmony: 1

Our top four played NEH, ETF, Biotech, and GRNDL, followed by Nisei, Blue Sun, NEH, Blue Sun. Overall, Jinteki was Most Underperforming, with 44% of the field (but only 25% of the top-8), while Weyland was Most Overperforming 24% of the field, but 38% of the top-8. HB underperformed (20% / 13%) and NBN overperformed (12%, 25%).

On the runner side, we had 12 IDs, 3 unique IDs in top-4, and 7 unique IDs in the top-8.

  1. Kate 5
  2. Noise 4
  3. Andy 3
  4. CT 2
  5. Reina 2
  6. Sil 2
  7. Gabe 2
  8. Hayley 1
  9. Eddy 1
  10. Leela 1
  11. MaxX 1
  12. Nasir 1

Our top 8 was: Kate, CT, CT, Reina, Andy, Hayley, Noise, Eddy Kim.

Runner faction balance was almost dead even, with 8 Criminals, 8 Anarchs, and 9 Shapers, however Shapers dominated the top standings: 50% of the top-8 came from the faction, while Criminals only put 1 into the top-8, drastically underperforming on the day.

Overall, corp vs. runner winrate was as close to 50-50 as you could get, but amongst the top 8 runners won 75% of their games, and corps won 67.5%. On the day, a full 25% of Corp wins came through flatline, with the vast majority of those being good old Scorched Earth. Of note, three of our top-4 decks came packing a flatline threat.

You can check out the full standings here: on acoo.net, photos of the winners and the epic prizes we gave away here on the ANRPC site, and hear some quick interviews with the top-4 competitors here on youtube. We’ll have a selection of matches from the top tables up with commentary early next week.

A big thanks to everyone who came out. We gave out badass promos to all, the contents of two GNKs, a custom playmat to the champion, and two beautiful art prints. Oh, and $140 in store credit, and our generous sponsors at Inked Playmats and Go7 Gaming got shoutouts too.

I love seeing such support for fan-run events! Thanks again to everyone who participated! We’re already starting to organize a “Michigan Cup” team event, so check out the Metro Detroit Netrunners facebook group for details on that as we put it together. Thanks again :slight_smile: .

I’m actually sort of surprised I was the only MaxX player there.

Me too, but maybe people feared The Blacklist? I :heartpulse: MaxX.

Thanks for organizing this event. I had so much fun.

You forgot to mention the free lunch for the participants. I think that pizza-stim helped us play our best.

(Small correction: Biotech not Blue Sun in the top 4.)
