Assault on Wroclaw 2013 - The Official European Championship in Poland

Dark days are coming ... Most ordinary people, leading dull, gray life, unaware of the mysteries of this world do not even notice signs in Heaven and Earth. But trust me. They're coming...
And don't think this story will end the same way as all those announced in a mystical voice like when you're sitting in a dark movie theater. This time, it's not deafening dolby surround that makes shivers on your body. This time, it's not a coca cola, bought with a ticket discount, which will satisfy your desire.

The Calling that each of us can hear, invite for yet another expedition, for the next sword drawing, spell incantation or using our own brilliance to send the Snotlings as a war meat ... The Calling, that shows you an ancient city. City of scoffers and rulers. Citadel of arbiters and martyrs. Fortress of bards and conquerors ... Countless legends of riches, torn from a dragons (and somehow from the Dwarfs), attracts adventurers for years, but only a few of them, going through the maze of traps, defeating the powerful guards and traffic jams in the city center - are able to reach out and meet the challenge!

Among these legends, there is one song; mentioning a woman, a brave warrior, who lead band of renegade dwarves who managed to put their banner on the top of the tower. It is also about a very young man, who, not so long ago, crept into the city, like the morning mist after the cold night and became the ruler helped with his devilish intrigues and Dark Elves ...
Those legends, and empty places in Hall of Fame awaits the next challenger, who will not be afraid to take a trip and be a part of this famous struggle for the Old World!

Dark days are coming ... Twin Tailed Comet fell somewhere in the areas of Kislev ... It is a sign of a Cataclysm coming. Launch an assault for the last time, because who knows what awaits us next? Who can predict the fate of the world?

So do not hesitate!
Assault on Wroclaw calls!
Get ready for the war, because the time will come soon ...

I am pleased and honored to invite you to the next installment of the tournament, which has become a legend on Warhammer Invasion stage. Assault on Wroclaw 2013, this time, in the circumstances of this flourishing Invasion, as well as major changes in the coming time.

This topic will be updated regularly.

It's a very good initiative to post here !
I'm interrested by your event. I must discuss with my wife, and see the price of travel.

Wow, 2 weeks before the French National... This would be great ! I'll look forward to it.

No AP limited? No MfW ban? No Fist of Mork restriction?
edit : fortunately FAQ2 has come there

Is anyone going to this event?
Many people in Poland asks for your presence
You should gather a group and come. This would allow reduce the costs of travel.

Sorry, i can't going for your event. The travel is very expensive from Nantes.
It's an idea from Paris.
I take an option for the next year.

Great news!

Assault on Wroclaw has been approved by FFG as The Official European Championship!

What's more, it is also The Regional Tournament.

Come, come my friends!

That sounds great, but unfortunately, I probably won't be free at that time. However, if it happened that I was, I would gladly go and tell you. So check your emails, even if it is only a few days before the tournament.

By the way, in France, we still have only two BP released, which would be a big disadvantage for those who don't play on OCTGN.

That must be frustrating.
In Poland, we have all (5) BP from the new cycle, in Polish and in English.

I have some information for you about the cheapest flights:

Belle participation avec 104 joueurs. Beaucoup d'orc comme prévu mais ce sont les elfes qui trustent les premières places. Je reviendrai plus en détail sur les résultats

je comprends pas il y a un DE à 19pts et 3 autres joueurs à 18pts mais ils ne sont pas en tête de liste. C'est le classement après rondes ou le résultat final?

C'est le résultat final

Pas un seul Chaos dans le Top 10... comme quoi le Chaos c'est redevenu la loose...

Répartitions :

103 joueurs (le 104e est un BYE qui joue HE ^^)

28
21
19
18
10
7

Je suis malgré tout curieux de voir le deck qui finit 3e...

Rah, ça donne envie (même si on avait une chance sur 3 de tomber contre un ...)

Plus proche de 1 sur 4. Il ne faut pas exagérer ! ^^' 57 jeux Destruction et 46 jeux Ordre. C'est à peu près équilibré ...

Par contre, voici l'étude globale :

Citation :

: 21 [T16 : 2]
: 19 [T16 : 1]
: 7 [T16 : 2]
: 28 [T16 : 8]
: 19 [T16 : 1]
: 10 [T16 : 2]

Il y a dans le T16 : 5 jeux Ordre & 11 jeux Destruction. Cela montre une fois de plus le déséquilibre entre l'Ordre et la Destruction. L’Ordre semble bien plus difficile à jouer pour gagner !

Top 16 des loosers : 7 ordre et 9 destruction...
Donc il est plus dufficile de perdre en ordre qu'en destruction. Comme quoi l'ordre c'est pour les noobs.
Ralala, sur un tournoi de cette envergure, il est facile d'isoler des cas et d'en tirer une conclusion.
Je te propose de faire un classement moyen des decks ordre et destruction, on aura peut être encore une autre conclusion.

L'écart des chiffres ne sont pas assez important pour en tirer une conclusion. 5/11, c'est pas la mort...
C'est pas comme à l'époque de VTHC où le top 16 c'était 16 Empire...

Maintenant la conclusion que je préfère est que les joueurs ordres sont unskilled et se font déboiter pour ça...

Perso je dirais plutôt à propos des joueurs (1/19 en TOP16) que soit ils sont très mauvais, soit ils se sont fait métagamer à mort...

Je pense que tout le monde a metagamé orc
