Wish I could have been there, but I'm really looking forward to the tournament reports and deck listings. Now get in there and FIGHT!
According to Kennon they are giving out copies of Star Wars LCG to preregestrants!
Best of luck to anyone who is there, especially to any of my bretheren from the UK (if there are any?).

Hope Lannisters do well :D

Screw Lanni. Go Martell! B)
So what was the ruling on collusion at the final table? Was it that they decided who would be what place the last turn or something else?
Sadly the video sound quality is rather awful. But I will give FFG props for at least trying. Only other card game company that does regular live broadcasts is MTG. Even WoW TCG still does not do it despite frequent requests. So thank you FFG. Now just work out making it so the players can be heard over the background hum.
I thought the whole point of melee was that you could do whatever at the table and collusion was an "outside of the game" type thing. I did not watch, but what happened that could be considered collusion while the game was in progress?
You should just watch it, it's at the 4 hours 40 minute mark.
Just finished watching the ANR live final, caught about half of it - 3:50 long! Went to three games, as after the second game, both players were on 10-6. Both made some critical play errors in the second game, which they realised when it was too late.

Having games 1 and 2 ended by flatlining is concerning, though having the match finish by the Runner scoring agendas made a nice change.

I know I couldn't cope with a match last almost 4 hours!!
Congratz to Jeremy K for winning the finals A:NR.

Critical mistakes were made. He admitted that he was relatively new to the game.

Epic close match. HB & Criminal reign supreme in current meta :)
Jeremy Z did well with his Weyland deck but could have really paid for the misintall of the ice/agenda. Two scorched earth was brutally effective when Ben did not use his decoy on the tag. Third game was good and thankfully shorter than the first one. lol.
Conversely the Call of Cthulhu game took what didn't even feel like 10 minutes! Just complete rush and win by turn 4 I think?

In case anybody else is wondering about what happened this weekend, here are some threads from the FFG forum:

Melee standings
Joust standings
Worlds updates
Discussion about the DQ in the melee finals
Anybody have info on the # of NR participants? Or Invasion? Or know who won Invasion?

Would also love to hear thoughts/updates on SW. :)
50ish for WI, I don't recall his name but the guy who won the Android: Netrunner Championship also won the Warhammer: Invasion Championship playing a High Elf Combo deck (mirror match in finals)
Wow! 50ish is a huge turnout. Sounds like it's the only game that did better than at GenCon (somebody on the FFG forums said 40+ for NR and 80+ for AGoT).

Figured HE would carry the day based on what's been coming out of Poland. Was it a European that won? Did (m)any Europeans make it?

I guess I could watch some video... :P
No, he was from the US, it was him vs a German bloke in the finals. Very boring to watch honestly, I watched it last night and it was pretty much just both of them trying to draw into their combos.
