As I said, I'll be working on statistics (pretty simple, but used to only find out the winners of groups

With the lack of new players the general "skill ceiling" keeps rising for each year that goes by and what was considered considered "hard" a few years ago doesn't come close to what's considered "hard" today. In every gamemode, all maps are in general harder than they used to be.OzzyOzrock wrote:

Don't hurt me please.
Except for the fact there is considerably less skilled players playing this year, no offense to everyone out there.boat wrote:

Like, go look at least years team and this years teams. Maybe like 12 hardcore, could have won it all teams last year, compared to the maybe 6-7 this year. It is mostly the fault of not letting us have A and B teams or mixed country teams. We lost out on so many quality players.
I was even telling Ono it might be better if he made the maps easier this year. Howeverrrrrrrr another reason he has done this is perhaps because of the format, which is the format of getting rid of a team each week and having us all play over the weekend against everyone in each pool.
It makes sense but it also doesn't. I think this was handled fairly-well, considering.
I personally think you are all underestimating what people can do, even if we don't know them enough. I also think there are more new players that we think, but as they don't show up in forums nor in chat, people just assume they just don't exist. We'll see how it turns out this week-end, but I think it's a good thing to spice up the difficulty each year.

So, here's a story.
In the US v Poland game, at one point we picked Tabidachi no Shuen or whatever, and we were like 'yeah we can all do well on that song'. So we're in, HR and all, and at 1:30 of the song, a norton pop-up comes up covering my screen. I have not missed yet, and there was no break until way later so I had to play with this pop-up above me. It was like playing with HR + HDx2, I think I missed one 2 notes until around ~2:51 of the song, when I was able to get rid of it, when I realized that it didn't close, rather now, I was out of osu! and on the pop-up, so no hits were registering for that bit.

i assume it's the group letter and ranking number within the group
I took the liberty of making brackets using Loctav's strange methods of seeding for those who actually want to see them some time in the near future.

Yeah, I got informed about this before. I forgot about the older TWCs, but most guys didn't played the map anyway, so it should be fine.
So, from now all matches are going to be streamed on the official twitch channel, right ?
Probably. If not, I will be here for all matches.

I am sure OnosakiHito will cover up your loss on Sunday. With his cute English
He's the map selector anyway, so he probably knows a lot more than I do when it comes to the TWC in general.

Oh, and by the way. There's nothing in the rules stating that 2v3's are not allowed. The only mentions of 3v3 are that it is a 3v3 tournament and that you need 3 players to participate in the tournament (which is under REGISTRATION), and that a match may only be postponed 10 minutes if there is not 3 players on a team. It does not say to disqualify them if they do not have 3 players during the match.
sorry tho

Greetings everybody, official notice incoming.
After sorting out the issue with Canada vs Spain with the game administration, we decided to give Canada the chance to rematch this game. Please keep in mind that this is an exceptional decision since one player of the Canadian team didn't attend to the match in time because he mixed up the time zones (I hate time zones, seriously).
So then, Canada is given the chance to rearrange a rematch against Spain, which must happen until Tuesday, 18th Feb 2014 23:59:59 UTC. Yet, the Spanish team must agree that they want to rematch it.
It might also be that we can not cover this rematch with a stream, due to organizational limitations, and if we cover it, we can not announce it largely before.
Anyways, for the potential opponent, Japan, we will only schedule one date for both encounters. This means that Japan does not have to pay attention to the winner of the rematch, since the scheduled time will stay the same, regardless of who wins that match.
Please don't that for granted. This has been decided to bring optimal results in measuring the this year's Taiko World Cup champion by skill and not by mistakes resulting out of time zone confusion.
If the rematch is not able to happen before the said deadline, the previous decision will stay and Canada still loses by default against Spain.
I hope this compromises pleases everyone, the participants, the administration and the audience. Let's keep the world cup running. Sorry for the inconveniences.
Schedules and mappool will be released by tonight. And oh yes, I wanted to post a bracket. The wiki hates everyone right now, so here - have a sexy bracket (still RO16 but whatever)
