That 1x KPI in Humanoid Ob (16th at Americas continental)

cros 337

Hi, this is the corp that brought me to the top cut at in person Americas continental in Montreal.

It is basically the Ob list with Humanoid, Mitra and Zato but with few tweaks to adapt it to my play style: first of all a Slash and Burn Agriculture that helps closing complicated games in which we had to dismantle our remote with Zato to keep the runner out, then there are some tweaks in the ICE suite like a second Tree Line to be fetched with Envelopment and last but not least my 1x KPI which makes firing Humanoid Resources so smooth, usually I use that to pre-advance the agenda just jammed and to add an ICE to the remote securing it. That was decisive in at least 2 games during swiss rounds. Bumi 1.0 could have been Mavirus but I didn't want to cut any ICE so it stayed, probably any of my game would have been different if I have made that change.

I decided to go with this because I expected a criminal meta which was correct (53% of the field) and I won every single crim game during the tournament.

During CoS I brought the same list but testing 2 Measured Response, it felt fine but less consistent.

The deck went 7-3 among the 3 days (including CoS), losses were against Wenjong's Lat and 2 Esa which I knew was a bad matchup.

Continental was a great experience and I felt welcome by everybody, I arrived that I knew basically nobody and left after spending a wonderful time with people, so thank you all a lot. Originally I didn't plan to mention anybody because I didn't want to forget anyone else, but I really can't miss the chance to thank ant1, we shared the path on Saturday and they welcomed me in a way that really made the difference for me.

Huge congratulations to Andrej, Nick, Jon and all the TOs, judges and volunteers that made such a big and wonderful event happen.

See you at Wolds
