Nacional España 2014 - Final
Finally the Spanish Rojo Cinco blog uploads the video coverage from the Spanish national tournament held back in September.
At the time this particular match made some pretty big waves throughout the community as it was largely believed that there were only three viable list formats in the wave four meta, those lists being derivatives of the fat Han list, TIE Phantom lists, or TIE Swarm lists.This final of a national tournament having been help in the interim between the US national tournament and the World championship surprised many when the list that won featured the HWK-290 as the squadron linchpin, However at the time further information was pretty scarce. word of mouth informed the community that the squadron featured Roark Garnet, Airen Cracken and two blue squadrons however further details were a bit fuzzy and the only sources were Eye witness testimony.
Anyway six months later the video finally surfaces (with very little post production work so I guess the delay was due to having a very busy schedule) so take the time to check it out.

X Wing Liga Köln Spieltag 2 Vollie gegen TKundNobody
The German Pirates of Tatooine channel uploads a battle report from their local competitive league in Cologne.
For the majority of the video most of the ships are not visible as they didn't make sure the full playfield was captured by the camera.in fact they would have been better angling the camera after deployment as its pretty clear the majority of the game would take place on the far side of the playfield.

X-Wing Battle Report 2015-02-19
Another new channel turns up this week, this time in the form of the dutch speaking Target Lock Channel.
They seem to have a very strong commentator that has no trouble keeping a conversation constant and also discusses the match enthusiastically which helps to hold attention.
However the down side is this death star surface mat. I know of a least a couple of other channels that started with this play mat only to discard it as soon as possible. The main problem is that the manufacturer wanted to give an impression of depth but the extra long shadows provide too much contrast and effectively act as camoflage making it hard to make things out even whilst the play area is well lit.

Pick-Up Game: Casey "The Hammer" vs Sky "Han + Horn"
Asheville Flight Club is a new channel that debuted this week uploading two Battle Reports. Described as Pick-up Games I'm guessing the hosts had no intention to produce broadcast quality videos. All the same they did a good job of creating a basic hull/shield tracker overlay. The only downside to the overlay is that there is a banner bar at the bottom of the screen which takes up too much space and reducers the play field to about a quarter of the whole screen size. Although looking at the video quality I'm thinking that this was more done by necessity having recorded at a low resolution setting. Having said that the video is of poor quality they play at a casual pace and most dice rolls are clear if not through visual means by conversation between the players and visually seeing the player remove shields or taking damage cards.
For audio there is no commentary just table talk with long drawn out pauses and when there is conversation the sound quality is so poor as to make it difficult to understand very much.

X- Wing Store Championship 2015 - The Wyvern's Tale - Final
Looks like The Wyverns Tale in north carolina had their store championship this weekend and also decided to twitch stream the event. Then the video got uploaded to YouTube.
They used a camera mounted directly over the play field and include an overlay interface which I found to be more of a waste of space than anything else.
So due to the low ammount of screen space occupied by the play field and the long distance a direct overhead cam requires the finer details such as dice rolls are hard to follow.
Audio is present but is recorded on a very poor microphone with a lot of clipping and excessive noise from spectators but not much conversation from the players.
This video in particular is the final of the store championship so they really should have put more effort into having someone commentate the game, Another complaint is that the game takes forever to get going, With the first dice rolls coming at the 23 minute mark, make sure you skip ahead to avoid a drawn out setup sequence and opening moves.

BATTLE REPORT #7 - "Kenkirk & Ysanne" vs " New Tres Amigos"
Another batrep from the Italian X-Wing Academy. This time it seems the video quality has dropped a little due to a different filming location than normal. Even so most of the action is easy to follow even if the dutch angle is a little annoying.
The game is well paced and interesting, even for those who don't know Italian.
