So for those that are still confused regarding the Changes to the decloak mechanic, this video should be able to help you out somewhat.

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.

NYC X-Wing Store Championship Part 1 of 3 @ The Compleat Strategist
The NYCXWing Team have been pretty quiet for the past few weeks and now we see why. They've come back from their sabatical with newly reworked title sequence and a logo. They also seem to have worked considerably on their commentary delivery, now with a more natural conversation and a lot let pauses and Ummm sounds.

TIE Advanced X1 - Imperial Raider Expansion | Thrawn's Field Test 2015| #1
German language Battle report field testing the newly revealed Tie advanced upgrade cards. Commentary is all in german but they have included the lists played in the description by way of a link to the (Yet Another) X-Wing Miniatures Squad Builder. Activiation phases are sped up slightly (no too much as everything as it is still easy to follow) which helps condense the video down nicely. The use of coloured target lock/ID tokens makes to a lot clearer for the viewer to trace which ship loses shields or takes damage etc. The number ID tokens can be very hard to make out even in HD video, so these colored tokens are an excellent choice.
The far edge of the play table is a bit dark and could be helped by a second light source in the room, however for this game most of the action is in the middle to near edge of the play field so is not too bad. The players also make an effort to keep the dice rolls within the middle near edge of the play field so dice results are clearly visible.
The german is not too obtrusive so international viewers can follow along comfortably, and they even use english vernacular for most technical terms (hit, range), so memorising the german for one to five will give you all the help you need. critical damage cards are shown on screen in english making this video even more accesible for the international audience.
This video is an excellent example of homemade x-wing content and it is obvious that the publishers have put a lot of thought into their presentation.
