Zions Finest - A Star Wars: Shatterpoint Podcast Zions Finest

Sorry I tried to make that work. And sorry it's so long. What is wild is that we only got through about half of what we wanted to discuss. We will talk more about the logistics of the tournament in the future.



In this episode, Kenny, Matt, and Scott talk about the lists and the meta of the ZiFi Invi. They talk through their lists, why they built them like they did, and what they were hoping to accomplish with their matchups. They then summarize (as quickly as possible I swear) how their swiss and top-cut matches went, and then give some general thoughts on what did well (Gideon), what didn't do so well (Mama and Dooku what the heck) and if the Republic has arrived with the Batch.



Some notes!



The Tablebound Open is happening in Courtice, Ontario on June 22, 2024. Check the link. It's going to be a 1K (!!!) Shatterpoint tournament, which is wild.



The Boise Boys are running the Boise Shatterpoint Premier Cup on June 29, 2024. It's starting at 10 AM at ABU Games in Boise, Idaho. Check the link, and here's the Longshanks link. We are incredibly grateful to them driving down to the ZiFi Invi. and are sure that this tournament will be excellent.

DON'T SAY WE NEVER GAVE YOU NOTHIN.



In this episode, Kenny is joined by his brother Aman who drops some serious knowledge with respect to the Mama Dooku list, with a particular focus at breaking down the fundamentals and talking about piloting the list in a thickening meta. Aman, as always, has excellent insights and you will love his commentary here. We wanted to drop it so soon after our last release (and as part of a flurry of recent episodes) for those prepping for the ZiFi Invi.

He has taking them through competitive tournaments and done well, and he shares his insights with Matt as to approaches with the Republic--especially in light of the new stuff that has come out recently.

Welcome to Episode 47! In this episode, Scott, Matt, and Kenny talk about preparing for the ZiFi Invi, with some thoughts on the meta, they're lists that they're prepping with to prepare for the sweaty try-hards (who are, spoiler, themselves), and how they think matchups play out.



They close with a discussion of tournament etiquette, with a specific focus on rules and norms that will be in force at the invitational, but also general takes on how players should behave in various settings.



Join the Slack! We love you and will see you in TWO WEEKS!!!

I apologize! Curtis and I recorded an episode discussing the Batch (which it turns out is the Good Batch), but there was something weird with his audio file and it was too late to rerecord. So accept this short apology and interregnum while we wait for the next episode and the RELEASE OF THE MANDO!!!
