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.rickyboi wrote:

will almost be impossible might be challanging for korea and japan.
the map pool is good for the finals imo
24:00 GMT+1 so exactly midnight dutch time
Anyway, grats to both teams, commentating this match was great.
+ 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!

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.

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)
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 FinalsWishy wrote:

FREEDOM DiVE needs a tripletime option so cookiezi can play it, so slow. jk <3koreanotaku wrote:

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.

Is Cookiezi playing the final match?
Why wouldn't he be?
he's in japan until 19.1.
Oh really?! Hope his stamina isn't affected if he CAN make it to the match. It'll be a pity to not see him play in the finals.
He took the #1 on freedom dive the first day after months of break, I doubt a week would do anything bad to him lolOinari-sama wrote:

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.

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.
That was all folks!

2nd Place: Japan
3rd Place: Taiwan
Congratulations to all the teams.

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.

Feh, congrats to Korea, Japan and Taiwan and thanks to all the teams that participated. Been a great party this tournament.
to be fair they had players being banned left and right. and yes kriers, your commentary was astounding.kriers wrote:

Streaming doesn't cost us money. As Loctav said, we only stream official matches. That is, only matches that affect the results of this tournament.
Their fake match may of been something everybody wanted to watch, but nothing like that will be put on the OWC twitch channel.
There was no 4th player and so that is why there was an auto-win for Taiwan.

gg TW http://osu.ppy.sh/mp/5837011 never forget NL team.
Gee, we ended up as 3v4 against Taiwan AGAIN, just like OWC#1 finales, those good old times. We would have had 4 players if the match was an hour later, which was asked several times by laport and agreed upon by Taiwan, but nope, owc board is like "screw your s***" :3
So the multiplayer scores jesus up here posted, is all when Taiwan already won, for those who don't know yet.
Grats to Taiwan nonetheless (and Korea ofc), Rucker the best <3

I don't like how there's 0 negotiating about match time and having to F5 some google doc page every day in order to be in time to negotiate about the impossible time and then when I do I hear it's been up for 2 days you are too late. Please change this next time by asking the captains for available times ahead of scheduling a match! And in case you guys did do this I never experienced anything of this. the match against japan I received the google doc page too late so I was told I couldn't negotiate time because the schedule has been up for so long.
For the match against taiwan I agreed with rucker on next week but the organisation didn't and that's why there was no good match of NL - TW.
I thought it's about when the players can play, not when it's most convenient for the organization but in this tournament that's exactly what's going on is my personal impression.
I know a match for 3rd place is not the most important one and I don't care about the outcome but all I wanted is for both of our teams or what's left of it in our case to have the best match possible.

Exactly this indeed. Seeing as how the previous OWCs went I'm gonna take a guess that no organizer sees OWCs as something "fun", but actions like that must've really taken the most fun out of it all (besides banning half a team because most of you are nitwits).laport wrote:

Congratulations to all winners of this tournament.
i'd just like to take a moment to say that regardless of any issues that may have cropped up during the process of running and managing such a large and prevalent tournament with so many people involved in it, i think the owc team did as best they possibly could given what they had to work with.
and I also think that the way some of the owc players have been treating the staff therein is absolutely disgusting and utterly shameful. when an event is run for your benefit, be grateful for it - the amount of self-entitlement throughout this whole tournament has been astonishing to watch. problems arise when running an event of this size on volunteer staff across 10+ timezones, and treating another person or group of people like shit because they are having trouble managing the biggest community tournament event we have is disgusting, and you should feel bad.
i trust that this is only a vocal minority of the owc players that I have mentioned and I'd like to thank the rest for their patience and presence in this year's owc, and I look forward to the next owc being even bigger and better with hopefully less entitlement running around.
