Derek Brooks
Derek Brooks was a Decipher-era Squadron Member, listed as Gold 46 from Williamsburg, Va. The published fan table marks the slot Retired after Decipher's SWCCG run.[1][2]
He recorded the post-match interview of Matt Sokol and Yannick Lapointe after the 2000 Decipher World Championship Final Confrontation at DecipherCon 2000. On 21 August 2018, brandon baity (NanashiStudios) posted that footage as DecipherCon 2000 Championship Match Interview. The video credits him: "Footage provided by Derek Brooks."[3]
Service
| Dates | Service |
|---|---|
| August 1999 – January 2001 | Squadron Member Gold 46, Tatooine region; Williamsburg, VA[4][5] |
Decipher recruited volunteer Squadron Members in the 1990s to promote SWCCG locally (tournaments, demos, player support). "FL" is printed on some slots in the surviving tables; the tables do not spell out the abbreviation.
Championship Match Interview
The posted video is 2 minutes 27 seconds. Sokol and Lapointe sit for the Decipher interview immediately after the Final Confrontation. The reading copy and preserved files are on DecipherCon 2000, Matt Sokol, Yannick Lapointe, and Interviews.[3]
The Players Committee account @swccg linked that unlisted upload in the 14 November 2020 #swccg25to25 post on 2000 Worlds (part 3 of 3).[6]
