bandana8472 (bandana8472) Tournament Report - 2E - Andoria Regional 2014-05-31 - 11:00 AM Don't Take Chances With Your Reputation Introduction mn regional, always timeless. mr. subrocket and I were stoked and ready to play. Round 1 Ian Parmenter FW (+60) first game ever against ian. good times, gracious opponent, interesting mechanic. my deck poured into play, and I was able to pass both a gorgan and a tactical on the way to victory. Round 2 Steve Nelson FW (+40) chess match against an old friend. steve put some of my mechanic on ice with his core events and I tried to stay fast. dilemmas kept me in there. he won the last time, I won this one! great game, steve. Round 3 Nat Kirton FW (+5) matt vs. nat in round three. it seems to happen a lot. and like the above match with steve, we seem to trade the win back and forth. nats core events kinda helped me this time, and an early secret eye dee helped me force nat into his plan b strat. good game, nat. Round 4 Kevin Jaeger ML (-30)View opponent's ReportView original Report what can you say about a match against kevin? top player, high levels of bravado, overwhelming desire to win... he gets in the zone and goes for it. I will say this - it remains a nice compliment when big kev gets excited and all red-in-the-face when he's about to put this old horse down with one of his art projects. thanks, buddy. Matt is one of best there ever is and it showed in this game. after some triple attempts at ima loaded with classic amounts of poker intrigue I have up my first mission of the day. eventually my romulans were able to declare enough war to attrition the table then go solve a mission to take the lead with bonus points. like matt said though, it was tight and the adrenaline kicked in like it does when you play against one of the best. look out invaders, continentals won't be easy when you have to get through the frid family. Closing Thoughts dang! another regional come and gone. I had a blast and achieved all of my goals. I'm proud to take second place among such a field. I didn't see any of the strategies that I planned to face. same goes for dilemmas. good to see everyone! looking forward to continentals.
