in Android: Netrunner

With worlds a few days away we take a look at the meta from the Plugged in Tour winning decks. Crunching numbers and looking over the stats of what Corporation and Runner players built their decks around and how influence points were used.
Do you think there will be any surprises from what was seen at the Plugged In events to what we will see at worlds?
Lets discuss in the comments and in our 2 part series.

Second, on the Andromeda discussion. In any competitive game/environment there's going to be a "top tier" that develops (anyone who follows competitive video games in the slightest will be all over this). Yes, it kinda sucks that a lot of discovery/training/meta must be spent to address top tier and it totally creates a huge gap between the less popular. That's also why "low tier heroes" bring so much hype. I don't think there's much debate about this but just to reiterate that it shouldn't be surprising this is happening in Netrunner.
So lastly, I just want to say no one should have to feel bad about playing Andy, whether it is because they are bandwagon-ing top tier or they were loyal to Andy from the moment she was revealed. As for the "just for fun" argument, well, winning is fun so if you want to piggy back a proven, top tier deck because you like to win then good for you. Complaining about this is no different than complaining about getting flatlined because you forgot it was a secondary victory condition - that is the definition of a scrub attitude and one I'm pretty sure you guys already addressed.
Great vids!
