@daboarder Not sure for Ben. He took a loss in Round 4 then a Major in Round 5. Had to run for the airport pretty quickly so didn't get to see much after the Top 10. Edit: looks like 18th
An Infinity discord server I'm in has the top 25 rankings already, I believe. Impressively enough, you can even find YJ there, in the form of IA in the 20th position.
Fyi I don't think the armies in that list are up-to-date. I know #20 played Varuna, rather than IA. I can spot at least a few others in there that aren't accurate either. But I know personally that Corregidor, 2x VIRD, 2x Tohaa, 1x Ramah were in the Top 10.

(It was adorable hearing the Americans try to do the "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oi, oi, oi!" cheer even if they weren't quite getting it right!)
Varuna, Tohaa, Aleph and Ariadna... nothing unexpected here, but CJC. Really shows again, that player skill > faction choice. As a Nomads player I would love to see the lists.
Looking forward to seeing your lists and hearing how it goes - Ben and Marty got a lot of practice against Varuna in our last couple local tournaments (including against my own VIRD list). We've had a pretty heavy presence with them here.

Well im not terribly surprised by CJC placement. I would be very surprised too see CJC without new McMurder though.
