The Shuffle & Cut Store championship comes to a spectacular close with this truly epic final round where former world champion Dallas Pàrker throws Soontir and Chiraneau headlong into a dual Aggressor list run by Brandon Cating. Please make sure to watch this game all the way through to the end for some truly incredible X-Wing moments and behold, mouth agape and green with envy Dallas' multiple sets of transparent regional winners dice in the lower right corner of the screen.

SZ-Wing Trainingsfight 9 (X-Wing)
The German language SZ-Wing channel produces their first video using the Scum and Villainy ships released recently.
this game features a double IG-88 list take on a Z-95 mini swarm backed up by Kavil and Torkil Mux.
Unfortunately they haven't provided their lists for this game so I cant be 100% sure which of the IG-88's were involved. I'm pretty sure they were B and C just because B is the obvious choice and it looks like they're getting the free evade tokens for boosts. the only way I know Kavil and Torkil were involved is because the Y-wing moves after the IG's and Torkil because they were checking for range two at the beginning of the combat phase.
With regards to the actual video quality the room is poorly lit with the major light source being the other side of the play field creating a back lit effect over most of the game pieces. Also due to the poor lighting evade and focus tokens are almost impossible to distinguish.

IQ Games X-wing Miniatures Store Championship - Round 6 of 6 - Mr Wilber...
IQ Games X-wing Miniatures Store Championship - Round 6 of 6 - Mr Wilber...
The sixth and final round of the IQ Games Store championship where the winner from this match would take a ship home as a prize.
Being as this is Mr Wilbert's first X-Wing match published to YouTube there are understandably a few points that could be improved. The first of those would be the Fish Eye lens. Whilst the fish eye has its uses and is very popular on go-pros and other portable recorders to achieve a greater field of vision, it really isn't conducive to X-Wing as the entire playfield needs to be clear and easily seen. The downside to the fish eye is that its focal zone is very centralised with a rapid and large falloff towards the edges, as such anything that isn't dead center of the lens suddenly starts to appear much further away than could be normally appreciated. As such for the beginning of this match the ships are occupying the other edge of the table so being able to appreciate the detail of the match (such as tokens placed dice rolled and even which ship is which) becomes far more complicated than necesary.
Also the camera would have benefitted heavily from a higher mounting, which would also help mitigate the failings of the fish eye lens.
Mr Wilbert's solo commentary is on the other hand a very good first effort with some pauses although these are an obvious consequence of recording a commentary alone, bringing in a partner who may not have participated in the game would help to keep the conversation going. The only down side to the audio is the background music can be a bit too loud at times drowning out the commentary.
All in all a good first effort from Mr Wilbert with plenty of options available for improvement.

X-wing vs Star Trek Attack Wing "Borg Darrell" vs Bobby Mega-Autobots
HA HA HA HA HA. I had never seen the Star Trek Attack Wing stuff before. Here you have an X-wing versus star trek game and, to me at least, it´s hilarious.
on the serious side the video is actually pretty poor quality with considerable lag and auto focus problems.
