Kris Sonsteby (LORE) Tournament Report - 2E Sealed 2011-06-10 - 07:00 PM Hey, Ma! ...The Meat Loaf! Introduction With Minnesota summer weekends at a premium and purported attendance down, the Great American Bash PPV received a location and time slot audible from Saturday morning at The Jungle to Friday night at home. Maintaining my HQ rotation meant I could only play DS9, so that was what I ran at this low-key sealed gig. Round 1 Asita Goonewardena FW (+65) The Goon was running Romulans, but seemed to have significant skill gaps as I hit him repeatedly with Recurring Injury and Microbrain. His interrupt antics slowed me down mid-game, but not enough to stop me from bulldozing my last mission. FW 100-35. Round 2 Jeremy Benedict FW (+100)View opponent's ReportView original Report The Razor was piloting TNG, but couldn't seem to draw into his low-cost personnel early on. My 1 in 7 dark shot of Pran Tainer at Geo Survey certainly didn't help his cause, as I somehow rolled through missions. FW 100-0. I'm stuck with all my high-cost people early and I'm struggling to catch up as Kris drops his wienies like crazy. Kris gets the mother of all random selections when I make my first mission attempt at Geo Survey and he randomly kills Pran Tainer who had my only mission skills. I went there exactly because the odds were better I could get him through a random kill where other missions would need the right combo of people to solve. I get locked out as Kris manages to smack me with skill gaps and stop my attempts cold, meanwhile I can't muster enough to slow down his little guys and he cruises to the win. Round 3 Lillian Chan FL (-65) The Asian Sensation was experimenting with Dominion, benefiting greatly from my building assistance and in-game coaching. Pitching a second ship early cost me dearly, and being stopped for 4 turns in space meant she was able to take down another TBG icon. FL 100-35.
