This begs the question of how tournaments with nonstandard rules should be handled. This tournament restricted AstroScript to one per deck, which drastically altered the meta, hurting one faction relative to all of the others (e.g. Desperado was not similarly altered).
That doesn’t mean it wasn’t a high-level event, but this data point differs from the others in its category. Not sure what the right approach is here.
Cincinnati. :o)
Players from Southwest Ohio – guys from Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus who play each other regularly – took the top 5 spots when seeding for the top 8 cut.
Was thinking the same. How a deck list can be relevant if one of the strongest archetype in the field was banned for the tournament ? 
Not surprised by the corp deck that won. That’s what I’d have taken to a tournament where everyone is teching for the long game.
My version has Archer and sleepers but HBFA is still viable.
I think changing the rules a bit is a fun way to prod the game. I also hate playing against astrobiotics. But yeah, crazily it’s not the same game if nobody can play 3 Astros.

Won round 1 against Tennin/Kate, round 2 won against Kate and lost to EtF glacier, round 3 lost to PE and won against Kate, round 4 won against RP/CT, round 5 won against NEH/Andy
Not having played a lot of Netrunner since the release of Conquest I was unsure of what the local meta would be. I imagined still a lot of NEH and the Leela deck performs particularly well against that setup. Unfortunately I ran into lots of glacier style decks and had a pretty rough time. Managed to win Tennin and RP, but got shut out against EtF when he scored and used an ABT and triggered it to rez Tollbooth as the fourth ice on R&D and an Enigma as the 4th ice on HQ. Also, my Kati’s were both in the bottom half of the deck and came too late. My other loss was against PE and that was totally my fault. I ran too careless, like I always do against PE. I play against myself as much as the corp in PE matches 
The NEH deck performed flawlessly. There was only one game where it could have gone either way, because we were both at five points and looking for the agenda.
47 players for a SC?!? Well done!
We had a 62 person SC in London today. I came 5th with a Leela deck I cobbled together when I realised I left my pre-paid Kate at home (I did remember to bring my Corp, an NEH deck). Tourney won by Andy/Blue Sun, played by Iain Reid (UK Nationals Runner up last year). Will get you the list soonish!
Only the man who brings his entire card collection to every tournament good pull such a feat. Oh and I believe that was joint 5th 
So many UK Netrunners I don’t know… I’ve not met you guys right?
Not yet but I will be at Bristol store champs if your going.
You’ve definitely met me and probably even remember me. I was the guy yelling “Test! Test! Test!” After you scored the 2nd ABT at the penultimate match of the UK Netrunner finals last year. Just before we had that lovely security testing on archives incident.

I can’t wait to see that video 
Begs the question - is this the ‘official tournament’ page or the offical ‘tournament page’ of stimhack. If the former, think we should ignore it. Otherwise, put some big asterisks next to it and explain the circumstances.
Love this Nisei. How many Scorched wins did you pull off?
All of my wins were flatlines, but I think I only killed with scorched once in the whole tournament. Most of the players I fought were good about avoiding tags or layering Plascretes. But in the end all it did was lure them into false senses of security.
Though at one point, I managed to fired a triple advanced Shattered Remains on an Andromeda with 2 Plascretes and a Feedback Filter installed, the resulting look was priceless.
Heh nice! I pretty much settled on something very similar for the ID and had some good games with it, not confident enough to take it to a tourney but nice to see more experienced players with it having some success.
Out of interest how did you set up that access? Had you scored enough agendas to force the runner to run advanced cards? In my experience of playing against Andy with FF, they haven’t got much incentive to run advanced cards unless they’re way behind in agenda points. I love the deck concept by the way, just wondering in general how it fares against Andy/FF.
were any of your other corp games recorded? would love to see this deck in action. do you know where they will be uploaded to?
I should be, be great to meet you.
That ABT went terribly… I’m blaming you
Seems that like that Security Testing issue comes up a lot. Think I was more generous than most
