I heard Deri's running Rebels?
Is that serious about Thon being at #2 after Swiss, or is that a typo?

Congrats to everyone who made the Elite Eight! Wishing everyone the best, but really pulling for Tim!

I thought Jim was but I couldn't find his name on the gamers site! (It is actually what made me check that list)

Yes, Thon is #2 seed. Ben was acually running Krayt/Revan. Can't think of what Ricly was playing at the moment. I will probably do a better write up Sun, since I'm not paying for internet at the hotel. I'm on my phone.

Oops, sorry. Lou and Wes were both running Malgus/Caedus, so I guess I got confused. Long day.

So we have:
1. Tim Ballard - Lancer and Poggle bombs
2. Bryan Hole - Old Republic Master Thon (seriously!)
3. Ricky Heck - (updated) NR with Luke GH
4. Gerry Russell - Republic Naboo
5. Deri Morgan - Rebels Admiral Ackbar (!)
6. Daniel Stephens - NR Kyle/Jan Ors
7. Jim McNaney - Imperial Desann
8. Ben Guins - Sith Revan/Krayt

If Ricky Heck is running Mandalorians (the winning faction as some predicted), then that'd be 8 different factions in the top 8. Whoa.
If he's not running Stealth & Blue, then the favored squad entering GenCon didn't place anywhere in the top 8.

well i stand corrected,guess i didn't look close enough...was kind of hoping that this year there wouldn't be any..maybe next year unless we've hit the plateau
but anyway Way to go to everyone. who made top 8
EDIT: would also be interesting to see an online event with as many HoF members we could find playing a tournament like a best of the best type of thing...or at least Gencon champs

Eerie parallels to last month's NZ Champs:
A Tim finishes top after Swiss.
A Graham is the top placed competitor to miss out on playoffs (I was at 5 and missed the semis, greentime was at 9th and missed the quarters).
