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.

Also

Your inability and apparent lack of intellect to operate very basic computer programs does still not spell well for your "job" as a streamer

also, your internet connection does not change kingking9's amazing Australian internet connection

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.

Due to incooperative behavior and ongoing attempts to disturb this tournament in it's organization, thelewa has been banned from all future OWCs.
This was a collective decision by OWC staff.

thelewa was late. Someone else registered before him.

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.

The tournament will run with a total of 32 teams. First come, first serve.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

A long lasting qualification metric can work, but I doubt that we can afford it. Especially considering that the other world cups are existent, too, the work load is immense and tbh I want to have some free-time and don't manage world cups the entire year (this goes even more for my fellow organizers and helping hands)
Please keep in mind that everything that involves manual organized matches are not working, since they can not be organized.
A map chart that has certain maps in it and not single players but countries could high rank on it could also work, but this requires a better metric than current pp. I want to wait for ppv2 before excluding the usage of ranking metrics.
Anyways reserving slots based on population seems weird to me. I think reserving slots by progress in previous owc works nicely, especially because winning group stage already rewards people even if they don't come far in the knock outs
