After a lot of hunting I was finally able to track down the lists of the champ and runner up in the recent FFG World Championship match (and watch the match itself). Here they are:Doug Kinney (Champion)
------------------------
Darth Vader (Swarm Tactics)
Howlrunner (Swarm Tactics)
1x Obsidian Squadron
3x Academy Pilot
Nick Stanton (Runner-up)
------------------------
Wedge Antilles (Proton Torpedoes)
1x Gold Squadron (Ion Cannon)
2x Rookie (R2 Astromech)
I thought these were interesting results. Despite the prevalent attitude on BGG being that Academy swarms are the top metagame, they didn't cut the mustard in the game's premier event.
Also; Kinney's Vader was equipped with Swarm Tactics instead of Squad Leader or Marksmanship, which surprised me. He used it to great effect, chaining it into Howlrunner's Swarm Tactics and getting 3 activations at Pilot 9.

(Note: it's pretty long and uneventful, and is intercut with the DUST Tactics championship)
