Stop complaining guys. This is semifinals with 3 asian teams. This level of difficulty is acceptable.

Hidden's are all way easier than Her majesty lol.

Nice.
where is the problem? most people regard matryoshka as a really good map. add the fact that it is reasonably challenging and you have an almost perfect tournament map.
That comment was not sarcast- oh lol kriers nailed it

Honestly if they die on that spinner they don't belong to the semifinals.

Kinda disappointing they're not playing the SHD diff of Kamui.

SHD is better in terms of rythm and creativity in my opinion. I also think this dksslqj style is generic and mediocre, not saying it's bad but I think it's just "meh".

Ah schedule fits perfectly I'm available tomorrow and this weekend. Looking forward to the matches. Good luck to the teams.

In terms of creativity, rhythm and aesthetics, dksslqj's diff is far superior to SHD.

not saying SHD diff is bad though

Both were very similar to each other imo

Kamui in general is a very interesting map

Yes that spinner won't be a big problem.
It's at the end of the song which means they don't have anything else to worry about, hence if required, they can even change their way of holding pen/mouse just to spin as fast as possible.

It's not very convenient to have both the Match Schedulers in the same far far away time zone

In less than 4 hours it's the 11th, looking at the schedule here, Semi-Finals: 11-13 Jan 2013 Haruka where are you?

Scheduling problems? hahaha
Makar
I don't see a problem with it. You have nearly 43 hours until your match. If you have a conflict then one of the schedulers should be available within the next hour or so. In-case are you simply asking about the schedule itself, it has been up for nearly 2 days already and can be found in the OP.
Haruka_old
I don't see the problem? What is your issue?

I'm at school right now, so whatever the problem is, if there even is one I'll get to it soon.

dksslqj's diff is mediocre and generic. I can't really see how "far" its superiority compared to SHD since what I'm thinking of is the opposite. If there's anything far it's SHD's difficulty gap against dksslqj. We all have different opinions on this anyway so yea, good luck to all the teams!
Wishy
I like both diffs but SHD is way more unique imo, dksslqj doesn't look that special tbh.

I just noticed, that I didnt publish the information about the physical prize for the #1 so far... :D Let me add this.
Wishy
I will give you guys an idea it took me like 3 years of thinking to get to this:

Get the stream on 20 minutes before the actual match starts, if you do that even if some kind of problem comes up you will have like 20 minutes to fix it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Common sense, either that or the spectator client breaks randomly for no reason.
Oinari-sama
Support!

That was a good recovery effort from the streaming team. But to avoid disappointment at the Finals, I think it pays to get the stream ready well ahead of kick off.
Wishy
Yeah that's what I mean, problems can arise and well nothing you can do about it but just trying to put the stream online some time before the actual match gives you a wide time window to solve possible issues.
Kynan
I agree there you should be a time before the match to see if there are bugs or not...

It was running perfectly till the match started. Suddenly OBS complained, died, refused to work, made echoes, stuff. Well, we got it fixed. stuff never works when it should work :P
Wishy
You mean the spectator client? We could gather 8 players and try it out like to see if it works, maybe the stream was up and stuff and then it broke when it started spectating everyone at the same time. I'm an ignorant when it comes to this so just asking.
silmarilen
i didnt expect i had to play anymore this owc, but damn 3 people banned.
oh well cant help it. i hope im not this nervous if i have to play for 3rd place because on the first 2 maps i could barely move my mouse.

It's been like this for the entire tournament, only maps of certain styles get picked

the map selectors are a tad biased hahaha

Lol.
So we're reusing the same picks from the usat finals?

Cool, that means I actually did a sensible job back then

As much as I agree with this, I still want to say that most of the players would complain if the mapset selectors chose more "unique" maps (hello Byakuya Gentou).

Either way, everyone can't be pleased because tastes and opinions.

They're all gonna end up FCing all the beatmaps anyway. So I don't really mind which map is chosen XD Good luck! (:
Wishy
Tie-breaker difficulty is not [0108 style] but [Lesjuh style]. Map pool yet needs to be edited but that's how it is, Loctav will edit soon.

PD: What Mr Color said, the moment an unique or weird map appeared everyone started qqing, maybe it was about difficulty but who knows. Fact is@gameplay leaving aside "qq same mappers please change style" are the ones that make those maps everyone has fun playing. They are what we call mainstream mappers, because most people like them, unique maps are usually not liked that much. ;)

That's it and good luck to all teams.

So you give them a mapset full of maps they've already played a lot? Boring.
silmarilen
they need to pick hard maps, its generally the same people that map the hard maps. so yeah, you get maps from the same people a lot
Wishy
What's the most usual reason that makes you not play a map that often? That you don't like it. Then it's either pick like that or pick maps they won't like, on any case we're always gonna be screwed if you want to.

And that, hard maps = always the same mappers, that's how it is.

So the mapsets selected are to appeal to the players' likes and not the difficulty themselves? @silma: you can't honestly say that 4 0108 picks for one round was inevitable
silmarilen
i didnt do research into it so i dont know, i just know val makes a lot of really hard maps that would be suitable for this.
Wishy
They are selected while thinking of both. Chocobo [Gold] would be a very good pick diff-wise yet it would be completely retarded to use it.

Just thinking of that map and its AR gives me chicken skin.

Chocobo is actually quite a sick pick for HD. I miss Millhiore's EZ HD replay. :(

Boring map pool is boring. SASUGA MAP SELECTORS

I was expecting some real hard/challenging maps but NOPE it might be too hard for the players right?

Just out of curiosity, what do you consider real hard/challenging maps?

Nah you got it completely wrong. I was not talking about the difficulty of the maps, and if you think these maps are 'boring' then I don't know what maps are fun/exciting to you.

I think this maps are hard enough even for KR and JP. Only player I think might FC everything is Cookiezi, maybe rrtyui, I'm absolutely sure the rest will miss at least on one or two maps.

Please understand not all players are Cookiezi or rrtyui. If that would be the case then yeah picking 4D, Big Black and that kind of stuff would be in order, truth is if we pick that right now only FC you might get is from Cookiezi, and not even rrtyui.
silmarilen
thats what makes it fun, if everybody was able to fc it would be an accuracy fight (ofcourse an occasionaly map where pretty much everybody can fc is fun aswell)
Wishy
Maps are hard enough so you won't get lots of FC, I guarantee.

cookiezi would have to be a damn superman to be able to FC something like the Big Black in 1 try on Finals

the map pool is good for the finals imo

OMG NO, please, I will make a petition to CHANGE the tiebreaker.IF we reach this phase it will be so exciting we need an EXCITING MAP - you picked THE MOST REPETITIVE MAP EVER, I mean - Lesjuh style is just the SAME PATTERN copy pasted around 400 times, goddamn it - this is...It's a great map for sure, but it does not suit the requirements for a TIEBREAKER map where for the players it should be really exciting with many changes of the beatmap style, in the current one we have those curved sliders and fast bpm circles, even on the solo nothing spectacular happens..........

rest of the pool is pretty good I guess.
