Hi, let's tell you the story of this match.
At the time the match is supposed to start, Sync isn't here and so Kyonko and I are trying to avoid having to reschedule for a second time. pielak gets his streaming stuff ready and then Sync arrives. Everyone cheers and then berates Sync for being a horrible person.

After Sync arrives, Kyonko starts using her magic mind powers of completely reversing any sensible tournament strategies. I practiced Recommended Spell a lot beforehand because val0108 is cool and I tend to do well with that sort of thing. Then I miss a lot, thanks to the magical powers of caffeinated tea. If you are planning to use caffeinated tea as part of your game strategy, don't. It seems like a good idea until you realize it's not. Well, I win anyway and we move on to the next issue.

Kyonko wants to pick Blue Night but can't because, as we've established, Sync is a horrible person and forgot to remove it from the map list. So we end up playing a map that Sync picks and Kyonko has never played before (because apparently that makes her do better) so then we play that and I FC it even though I wasn't really expecting to.

So then I pick Six Trillion Years and Overnight Story, because I've played it innumerable times and Kyonko hasn't at all, but of course I mess up because that is the only logical outcome. So that's kind of silly. (Note: Yes, this was really quite unexpected and after the match I spent a good amount of time analyzing this because it was kind of depressing. Then I realized that I'm human, just like many of us.)

Afterwards it's Kyonko's turn to pick but she doesn't because I don't even know, and then we play a map and I win. That's kind of it. We also played the tiebreaker map afterwards just for fun and I won that too.
The moral of the story is expect the unexpected, since it seems to happen a lot.
15:27 Sync: I just read the story and it could pretty much be put in a history text book

You forgot all about my heroic attempt to ref the match, which would have ended badly

good thing Sync showed up right on time, before that had a chance to take off

Still waiting on a team to schedule

However, sending out PMs to those still in the tournament and Round 5 maps will be out as soon as I wake up at a decent enough time to catch Mr Color in a conscious state

18:12 Sync: but
18:12 Sync: that was lucky
18:12 Sync: I might even fail
18:13 Silynn: don't do that
18:15 Silynn: damn
18:15 Sync: oh god that miss scared the living shit out of me

18:23 Sync: uhhhhhh
18:24 Sync: let me look at the map list real quick
18:24 SapphireGhost: Every time you pick something that it seems like you would win at you don't
18:24 SapphireGhost: Pick something neutral and win off your natural skill
18:24 Silynn: I have none of that
18:24 Silynn: just luck
18:24 Sync: man
18:24 Sync: I have a bad feeling about this but
18:24 Sync: I'll pick NNRT again
18:25 Silynn: why do you have a bad feeling about a map I fail 90% of the time
18:25 SapphireGhost: I'll just neutrally be neutral towards all you guys
18:25 Sync: thanks SG
18:25 SapphireGhost: I totally think you'll each have an even chance of winning this map
18:25 SapphireGhost: yep
18:25 Silynn: Sapphire is lying, I know you have like $15 on sync winning
18:25 Sync: actually I need to win
18:25 Sync: so SG gets the $5 I owe him
18:25 Sync: in winnings
18:26 Sync: extra
18:26 Sync: is the diff
18:26 Silynn: oh
18:26 SapphireGhost: oh yeah derp
18:26 Silynn: I was kind of wondering why there was a B there
18:26 SapphireGhost: You're still not going to get out of that $5
18:26 Sync: oh
18:29 Silynn: damn
18:29 Silynn: I was really hoping you'd just fail

The match is scheduled for tomorrow (today) Nov 20th @ 6PM EST. Earlier if possible, perhaps a few hours later depending.

It won't be delayed any further. SapphireGhost and myself will have somebody to play by midnight. No streaming, probably.

I wish it didn't have to be like this, but let's just move forward instead. We're coming really close and I want conclusion (as do all of you who are still following, I'm sure)

Yay, stuff is happening

Actually, the match can be played any time until 12AM since a certain somebody has school. It has to be played today though or somebody is going to be DQ'd.

(ALL MY THANKS GOES OUT TO SILYNN FOR BEING DEPENDABLE SO THAT I CAN NOT DIE OF SLEEP DEPRIVATION~~)

Congratulations to SapphireGhost for winning the finals!

Special thanks to everybody who helped make this tournament possible. I can't possibly list all your names and the reasons because there are so many of you. I'm glad it's finally over -- running a tournament proves to be very stressful but it was certainly worth it in the end, especially because I got to meet a lot of USA players that I previously had not known. I hope it was the same case for many of you.

With that being said, this concludes the USA osu!standard Tournament (USAT) and once again, a big congratulations goes out to SapphireGhost for winning every single match and proving his skill.

SapphireGhost
Thank you very much. I'm getting 6 months of supporter but since I already have infinite supporter it would be absurd to keep it for myself, so I'll give it to the people that I played in the tournament and are on the current owc team. (Make sure these people want it, I guess)
3 months to Sync since he organized the tournament, did a great job as a referee and doesn't have supporter currently.
2 months to Kyonko because she beat me on that one map and that was totally not fair very well done.
1 month to pielak213- since he's already getting 3 months, but a great runner-up.

I better keep the profile badge, though. It's shiny.
Tenshi
So generous; wish I could've played you. :D

Anywho, congrats, Sapphire! And thanks for a great tournament, Sync!

I'm glad that I lost against such awesome players. Great job, everyone!
