If any of the players choose FL it will be for lulz I guess.

So far in this edition it's the side of the players that have been taking it too seriously.
But I trust in their ability to let it all loose soon enough.
But I trust in their ability to let it all loose soon enough.
Please update http://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Osu_World_Cup_2013#Participants, I really would like to know which countries have been accepted so far.
So like, does anyone know roughly when the map pool gets released publicly? Sorry if it's a stupid question I've not been around for the other owcs >w<
I hope this tournament is managed better this year than last year, especially in terms of streaming. I can see that Nyquill is one of the streamers again and as last year has taught us; his internet connection is fucking terrible and the streams were nigh-unwatchable because of it. The same goes for kingking9. I honestly have no idea why you are even accepting them as streamers because the stream is what gives OWC the most publicity and when it looks like utter shit it's not going to be fun to watch for all those THOUSANDS of people watching it.
That's just my 2 cents also I'm going to compete with my team (I didn't ask them if they are fine with competing but I'm sure it's going to work out fine, just like last year)
I also want to be a commentator because I'm lewa, bitches.

I think you misunderstood the problem I had last year as a streamer, and I streamed for exactly 10 minutes last year :p. Looks like someone needs to straighten out their facts.thelewa wrote:

When there was still just an announcement about OWC #4 I saw a line there that I understood as every player banned during OWC #3 can participate.Blue Dragon wrote:

I find it incredible racist how the Bahrain team isn't in pending. OWC staff confirmed for anti Arabian, the sultan has been notified.

thelewa was late. Someone else registered before him.
oh, is this where the drama starts? *prepares popcorn*
Do you believe thelewa would not have had the chance to put up a team on his own if he wanted to play? I mean even he is that on top his things. That or he does not really keep up with hisZarerion wrote:

A lot of things doesn't surprise me

28/32 no Korea no Japan? D:
I'm guessing they didn't submit anything yet because they need to test out their players? I assume Japan, Korea and Taiwan are three countries with a lot of outstanding players so they need to see which ones are going to represent the country, dunno.
Gonna try to get in contact with some players from those countries just in case.

Well, I thought they will be clever enough as to register and in case change the lineup.

I was serious when I proposed reserving slots for such teams as Japan or Korea.
If there's no Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan then this tournament shall not exist.
If there's no Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan then this tournament shall not exist.
I guess if more than 32 teams are registered something is gonna be done, since this is a World Cup I suppose stronger teams are gonna be of a higher priority.
I strongly encourage people to choose EZ mod and FL, not for lulz, but for serious strategy that comes with it.
( http://www.twitch.tv/lokovodo/c/3092224 ) <- this is what i want in the tournament pls make it happen

I guess if more than 32 teams are registered something is gonna be done, since this is a World Cup I suppose stronger teams are gonna be of a higher priority.I'm pretty much sure there were more than 28 applications from various countries but seems like "someone" is waiting for those 4 countries to fill the team list with them.
Without Korea and Japan it will be so not interresting ;_;
Karuta already submitted the registration form for Japan, not complete but good enough to reserve the slot.
Doesn't that go against this...Wishy wrote:

The tournament will run with a total of 32 teams. First come, first serve.
If there's no top4 teams in the game then the tournament doesn't make any sense. If I were the organizer I would reserve last 4 slots for them while they're still free.
We are all assuming things, Loctav has the final word, might aswell just wait for him. :p
Another idea would be to let these "Top 4" teams have an automatic spot in the Knockout Stage. This would give more countries a chance to compete, at least in the Group Stage. And yet another would be to increase the amount of teams to 40. This would allow five teams per group. And then the top two from each group would move on to the Knockout Stage.
But by reserving slots for teams without prior knowledge to the rest of the countries considering entering seems shady. Because then the other countries are actually rushing to apply for one of 28 spots instead of the 32 stated in the registration rules.

well, they're interesting to watch. it'd be a sad thing if they won't participate in this tournament
but the tournament can still run without them

No, those would be apps or PMs that Loctav has but hasn't checked. Reserved is just no roster/one person or something. Maybe it will actually be competitive this time.
Some of those countries might not have enough players of high enough caliber to participate anyway.me3lingual wrote:

I wouldn't worry anyways, with Loctav we have kind of discussed what to do if something like that happens, because it would be seriously idiotic to have the best teams out of the World Cup.
Exceptions are cool. Looking forward to another short finals.Wishy wrote:

I think it would be cool if we had an elimination round by continent to decide which teams can go (like soccer world cup) but due to lack of time that wouldn't be possible
That idea came up but truth is it's a lot of work and there is no time to do such a thing.
Just submitted Eiji Kuinbii with HD with the form. It'd be beautiful to see all spammers just flop.
Soarezi
Japan and Taiwan have sent a registration form already, I think Dungeon sent the Korea's one. Gonna have to wait for confirmation from Loctav.
I am in charge of Korean Team. I've sent the registration form for Korea. We've just finished our qualifiers today.

So how will the streaming work this year? Will each streamer take turn, or will there be mirror (alternative) streams?
Also I just thought it'll be cool to invite guest commentators to fill the gap between matches (or downtimes) by talking about osu news, highlights and even community projects/tools... sort of like an osu!commercial break? xD
I'm putting this out here now so that I don't forget to post later. I know it's kind of early to talk about this =.=

Since all countries are settled now, we shorten the roster change deadline to the 23rd Oct 2013. After this deadline, you can not change your team settings anymore. After this deadline, all rosters get checked.
Please send me your final rosters via forum PM till the 23rd Oct 2013, 23:59:59 UTC.Any roster changes after this deadline can not be considered.

China have no chance to participate in owc...? I'm very sad... i hope someone can help us..
Colombia also sent late registration. It took us specifying the 8 players ... we did not have many chances to reach semifinal, but we wanted to try.
Until next year :/
EDIT: I suggest that next year the dates notify one week in advance. Also, just take a weekend (3 days) to the form submission.
It is surprising that Japan, Korea and Taiwan, have been the last to join, and it is sad that China has been left out.
I also support the suggestion of Blue Dragon than by continents, increase competitiveness in countries where although they have some good players, but they do not dare to participate because they know they will not win against the top Asians.
It would also be a good way to see that there are level regions.
Until next year :/

The ideal system would make the top 32 teams play and let the rest out. Making a whole series of tournament to qualify would actually be quite a waste of time, and even if you do it by continent you will get all top teams qualify and end up in the same situation, only you made the good teams waste their time winning 9999999-0 against random teams. xdErunamoJAZZ wrote:

We China's Team leader made a mistake - late for a bit. And we sincerely hope we can participate in OWC#4 finally.
Vietnam's slot has been replaced by China, because according to Loctav, we were a bit late in registering. Oh well, good luck to China!
I will almost cry

And Vietnam must be a strong team I believe
