Lingle Repeats To Win Fifth Gambit

The 18th year of Star Wars Queen’s Gambit saw three past champions advance into the single elimination rounds. Those who made the play-offs included:

  • "Lord Vader" Lingle
  • Lisa "Bastila Shan" Gutermuth
  • Ted “Tamtel Skreeg” Lange
  • Chris "Exar Kun" Kizer
  • George "Jedi Padawan" Kyrollos
  • Ken "Gammorean" Gutermuth
  • Keith "Kenobi" Corbino
  • vIan "IG88" Moffit
  • Alex “4-Lom” Lange
  • Andrew "Ephant Mon" Omer
  • Brian "Bossk" Sutton,
  • Sean "Whorm Loathsom" McCulloch
  • Joe "Yuuzhan Vong" Yaure
  • John "Sarlacc" Pack
  • In the first playoff round of 16, each of the three time champions Lord Vader Lingle, Brian Bossk Sutton and John Sarlacc Pack advanced along with Ted Tamtel Skreeg Lange, Joe Yuuzhan Vong Yaure, Alex 4-Lom Lange, Ken Gammorean Gutermuth and Keith Kenobi Corbino.

    In the single elim playoff quarterfinals: Lord Vader Lingle lobotomized Ted Tamtel Skreeg Lange, Joe Yuuzhan Vong Yaure thud bugged Brian Bossk Sutton, Keith Kenobi Corbino killed Ken the Gammorean Convention Director and the Sarlacc Pack digested Alex 4-Lom Lange.

    In one semifinal, Joe Yuuzhan Vong Yaure valiantly succumbed to Lord Vader Lingle while Keith Kenobi Corbino gave the Sarlacc Pack acid reflux.

    The Championship game pitted four time champ Lord Vader Lingle against upstart Jedi Keith Kenobi Corbino. There were hot dice on both sides. Darth Maul killed both Quigon and Obiwan, but he left the Generator Core with only 4 hits remaining. Keith blitzed Anakin without a failed roll all the way to the last space before the Droid Control Ship, but Lingle greeted him with three Starfighter Swarms, ending his progress.

    In a surprise move, Keith used window ledge movement to place the Purple Queen and Pinaka in the Throne Room where they were free from harm, but he needed to get the Red Queen up there also and then slip Anakin through to the shut down the droids. Unfortunately, it was too much to do. Lingle used Droideka to put six hits on the Red Queen and end the game.

    Congratulations to Lingle for winning his fifth Queen's Gambit Wood.
