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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

I'll laugh if the final is an anticlimactic 6-0 win. All the same good luck to both sides and same goes for the third place play off as well.

Should be available for commentary.

Reporting in for commentary as well. Once again, if things go south like in Japan v. NL, I'll drop out without notice because I don't even want to acknowledge matches like these.

11am is not 11pm.... UTC = GMT. And if you live in GMT+1 and the match is on 11am, just add 1 hour.
Also the time is written in 24hours format as well in the schedule, and EVEN in your time zone.

The delay message was posted way before the server issues happened, and they were resolved before the match was supposed to be anyway.

Why cancel the match? The stream was already up and you guys could've played an exhibition match for fun. Unless the players feel that it's a drag to play then it'll be another story.

The stream was for the purpose on streaming the actual matches. Not for showoff games.

People turn up for the stream and they expect to have something to watch. I'm not sure about the match being a "show off" but as a dedicated spectator I'm feeling disappointed and betrayed not having anything to watch at the scheduled time.

While I'm aware that there's cost issue associated with streaming, the tournament organisers also have to take the effort from the audience into consideration. People turning up to spectate/support the players and now they're left hanging dry and feeling betrayed. Just check out the streaming site and see for yourself how many people are still hanging around exchanging chats. The administration may for whatever administrative reason cancel a match, but the audience must be catered for or they'll lose trust in the organisers.

Oh well, at least it's over. You may not have to worry about it for another year but this will leave a bitter taste in some audiences' mouth for sure.

Where were your 4th player, then? Don't blame it on staff. You all knew this would happen if not enough players showed up.
+ the date was already postponed by a day, so why would it be postponed further.

Lastly, thanks to all the players for their fantastic display in this tournament. I really enjoyed commentating a few of these matches and I hope I made any sense!
