Why yes, yes he did. He pretty much fucked up the entire brackets with seedings that make no sense, yay!AnFace wrote:

It's not like it's totally random, I personally think 1vs 4 and 2vs3 would have been better, but this is still totally acceptable.Tasha wrote:

1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3 is kinda how seeds work but I'm done arguing this point, it's like beating a dead horse at this point.Nashmun wrote:

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.
There is a clear lack of cool banner here.

I will be there to commentate the matches on Saturday, but not Sunday. Sorry about that. I have to celebrate my father's birthday and I'll be taken pretty much the entire day.

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)

Chile really good rival and I feel so sorry for you..

I propose only under 60 BPM picks HD and above 220 for HR from now on
in fact I'm serious.. HR pick is still playable, DT pick is too easy..HD pick is not suit for playing...OnosakiHito wrote:

I'm fine with low BPM HD picks, but I don't think anyone can play that without memorization. It's just way too slow with unreasonable OD.
DT might be a bit easy, but I guess Ono arranges so to show that slower DT can still be hard ( Refer to RO8 DT list )
And btw, am I the only one who think HR is really difficult due to high BPM ? It seems that you guys are all so pro at sightreading

[/quote]maybe we have a different thinking about HD..
I think HD should be mainly without memorization..reading HD maps is fun.
If that tomoyo map is OD5 or OD6 .do you think that's a good pick for HD in final ono?
