X-Wing - Covenant Store Championship 2015 - Finals

The final match from Team Covenant's store championship.

Star Wars X-Wing State Championship Florida Tournament Rd 1

The Dogs of War Gaming channel come strong out of the gate with this first round coverage of the Florida state championship. They do a great job of timelapsing the footage at a speed to condense the game down well but not so fast to be detrimental to the gameplay. An excellent little 30 minute battle report.

Team Covenant are making a concerted effort to release more X-Wing video content and improving their production quality. In the case of this recent batch of videos for example Steven is much less apathetic and does a much better job of keeping his end of the commentary up. They have also made those tiny little numbers, that they used to indicate which ship is which, a little bit bigger making them a lot easier to see. But it would seem that it's two steps forward one step back with Team Covenant as the numbers on the ship don't help you identify which ship is which. In the case of this match both players are playing the same list (mirror match) once the ships have mad a few turns it becomes hard to tell which falcon was from which team.Maybe if they took the oportunity to include the numbers on the ship lists at the edges of the screen. Also they have chosen to use a top down viewpoint which makes things more difficult to see.

Either way it is nice to see Team Covenant try to perfect their video presentations.

Kristofer Bengtsson uploads video of the final match of a local store championship final.

Kristofer does an excellent job of providing a solo commentary track and especially considering that English is not his first language he has perfect pronunciation.

Once again the camera has been placed from a top down perspective and this results in the play field occupying very little screen real estate and more of the screen is dedicated to the players, and the ship cards than is really necessary.

The final match from the Dogs of War store championship already covered in the video covered in this post, this time shot from the other side of the table.

Star Wars X Wing Store Championship Tournament Finals

The Dogs of War Gaming held a store championship this past weekend. Here we have an excellent quality video of the final match. With full 1080P all game details can be made out and the match can be followed very easily. Now as I said this match was played just this weekend so with recording commentary and such, publishing this video in less than 48 hours is pretty good on the part of the Dogs of War Gaming although it would be nice to include a squad list with shield and hull indicators as most of the higher quality channels are doing.

Commentary is pretty much on par not too interesting but manages to avoid being too boring even though there are some pretty big pauses.

The Dogs of War Gaming channel finally starts to upload the more important games in their store championship. In this case a semi-final match featuring a rebel swarm against the Dash and Corran combination and comes down to a nail biting conclusion.

X-Wing Battle Report 5

Here´s an excellent quality video from Kristofer Bengtsson in Sweden. The view of the table is clear and all details can be well identified, the only negative might be that the camera could have been quite a bit closer to the play area.

The channel host has also put a lot of effort into the post production work on his video, which includes a graphical introduction and a visual display of the squads at the edges of the screen. Once again to point out how things can be omproved the squadlists need to find a way of reflection how much damage has been taken by each ship (shield/Hull counters etc).

The commentary is very clear and well spoken English. The only problem I have with that the commentary is delivered by a sole individual in a semi-whisper quite intimate manner that I would have to liken to maybe Golf or Snooker commentary. This is not to say that this is not a good manner of commentating on a video, but i personally find it sends me to sleep as I get so relaxed. For real.

Anyway an excellent video and a pretty good match between two similar lists.

The Dogs of War Gaming channel continues to give us coverage from their store championship in Florida.
The video quality once again is great giving a clear view of all pieces in play, well lit and presented in 1080p HD.
And the commentators also do a great job of keeping the conversation active and interesting.

SZ-Wing continue to bring new video content to their recently launched YouTube channel.

This video is in my opinion an excellent example of how much screen space the play field should occupy with just enough space surrounding the play field.

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.

North Atlanta Game Company also brings us some coverage from their store championship, starting with the final.
on further inspection this video is a video of a store championship that was previously uploaded from FCB comics and games back at the end of January. Maybe the FCB channel changed its name to North Atlanta to include another store in its video content.
