Just watched the replay of our match today some minutes ago
I appreciate how tactical Germany is. They did an excellent job at choosing maps & players
And Xay did really, really well. He's definitely one of the best players in osu taiko community <3
Don't give up Germany! I believe you guys can go into top 3 next year > <
Xay
Need three xays to get past all asian teams, which I've had enough of this year (so lucky)

Reasons why I won't forget this cup:

- 3 out of 4 matches were against the best teams of this tournament, which means there was a lot of stress for us, since we always needed to plan out the matches very strictly beforehand in order to balance stuff. Not all of us were able to play everything flawlessly in a mappool, unlike Japan or Hong Kong ...
- all 4 matches were against asians
- group of Death and probably the closest matches (I don't even know how I was able to stand the pressure that well... I don't know about the rest of my team)
- 2 Tiebreakers overall
- we all managed to play on the set matchtime against HK A, even though me and Broken were sick and Slih managed to strain his indexfinger the day before \o/

United States A vs Taiwan A


It's a bit sad to announce, that match couldn't be done. United States A, fighting with bad luck, couldn't get their third player from team. Results are then clear: Taiwan A wins by default 5-0. As well, even if it's official...

...We performed unofficial match on other room, 2v2 - To see what will happen.

#3 Unofficial TWC Taiwan A vs. United States A


I feel a bit sorry anyways for US A team. You did great, you showed your performance before, and even now. Anyways, someone needs to lose - to made someone winner. And don't worry - you did your best, ~Backy, ~TFC :)


That is all for now!

I feel proud of my performance from 1-3 but #4 and #5 I was faced with technical issues. I appreciate all the support though. Taiwan was the better team, through and through, and even had all their players. I hope for maybe a next year we can defeat them, as we always seem to have to play against them in these rounds.

Thank you everyone who supported us, US A tried their hardest for our bretheren who fell before us. Have fun everyone, and don't cry like I do every year ;w;

Sad that we couldn't play the official match but the unofficial one was fun!

gg Taiwan
Xakyrie
It really is a sad thing to announce, but it can't be helped. An awesome unofficial 2v2 was held (originally 3v2 but yikao had to be somewhere) despite everything and to offset some of the disappointment. Regardless, it was an entertaining match!

Congrats to Taiwan A in their advance!

I didn't know Macau still had a match. It seemed that I made a trouble for you guys and my team members.
I really feel sorry about that : (

Macau team has finished all the game in TWC#3.
I hope that I will have time to join #4 next year if I have time.
It's really fun in spite of my terrible taiko skills. XD

If so, then like noted, not much of a difference either way, but it would've been fun

After several discussions, reconsiderations, <stuff>, I accepted the retreat of Finland.
It was a wise decision and I appreciate their step. Also they compensate the mistake which happened by our side.
Keep in mind that we were totally aware that this rescheduling might have been critical. Finland actually stepped back to avoid any more fuss caused from the staff's side.
It might appear unfair to many of you, but the error is neither on Finlands nor on Koreas side. But Finland helped us finding an appropriate solution for this circumstance.

tl;dr: Korea ascends to next stage. Everyone go and hail Team Finland for their fair and wise behavior.

Also Korea will replace NAKG by Bye, France will replace Didou by omegaflo since both replaced players quit the game. This is an exceptional case. So don't try to change your rosters, now.

Thanks for your attention and enjoy the ongoing tournament.

Fixed single link of Hollywood Galaxy, since certain countries (e.g. China) have blocked Skydrive. It's not accessible via puu.sh
Acrith
So, we're after Quarterfinals!

1st match: China B vs Canada A, 5:0 for Canada A!
2nd match: Korea vs Japan A. Japan A wins by default, 5:0 due to number of Korea active player (they couldn't get three of them).
3rd match: Hong Kong A vs Malaysia, Hong Kong A wins by 5:0!
4th match: France vs Taiwan A, Taiwan A wins 5:2!
MrDonut
Aww France lost :(
Nashmun
Gratz Taiwan, it was a really close, tense and really fun match \:D/ . So much stress in every map, we missed at critical parts and against a team like you, this is fatal. No regrets though, we really had fun during this match (I'm speaking for all of French players, but I know they all agree with this statement) :3

Ken Nakagawa - Tsuioku no Michishirube ~ Sono Ni (Dusty) [Fiya's Taiko Oni]

This map is going to stress your concentration.

I'm worried that I could be unavailable also for Semi-finals commentating and referee'ing. Why? My PC got broken somehow. I left it turned on, while going to school. I always do it. And when I came back, it was off, and I couldn't turn it on back. Probably seems that CPU got broken. Everything other seems to be fine. As well, I'm trying to configure my old PC to work with mumble/osu with decent quality.

Well ain't that just a pickle peach.
