That was one hell of a match, wow, thank you both teams for this awesome moment

That was the worst match ever
I think USA players feel Polish players' pain more than anyone else here, except Poland actually won this.

I don't understand why people say we were attacked by China. There are plenty other possibilities:
- Magic.
- Eirin's shady new drug.
- Yukari is fooling around again.
- It's a Moriya Shrine conspiracy.

Sonata hasn't been FC'd by anyone but few lucky players.
Dispel - The ugliest, overmapped shit which is disgrace to the whole game.
Ivaltek Freemod - this is a joke.
Anhedonia - muya's worst map. Nice try..
#edit: and it's when I don't know half of the maps. I sense some bad maps.

No more kola kid for warm up.
Those are not lucky players, those are people that just bothered to try on the map, there's more to the difficulty of a map than how you perceive a scoreboard.AmaiHachimitsu wrote:

Sonata isn't a very hard map, but it's not very good and it has many clusterfuck patterns, also few people really like the song to grind on the map

Those are not lucky players, those are people that just bothered to try on the map, there's more to difficulty in a map then how you perceive a scoreboard.It's not that I haven't played it and I think it's obvious this map is too hard and much of a troll for this tournament. Or at least this stage.
#edit:
dispel: nice map, good pickOf course, opinions. But I think something is wrong if you think that a map with overmapped streams is good in any way.
Not that I have any hope against Taiwan
Seems great to me what's the problem.AmaiHachimitsu wrote:

The maps somehow fit me in terms of patterns and shit.
It's the lack of balance what bugs me.
And seriously, I don't enjoy practising ugly maps.

I've only played the first 2 maps, Cruel Clocks and Sonata, but that difference in difficulty is huuuuuugggeee. As in, Cruel Clocks is cake compared to Sonata.
You should calm down and stop taking things too seriously, don't forget that this is just a game.Michi wrote:

And yes, it was entertaining to watch despite the connection issues, I'm saying you guys did a good match, not a bad one.

entertaining: truly
Not sure if it's a good or bad thing that I know all the maps aside from 2 of them. Overused maps or too few maps to choose from.
I request that MuryokuP - Sweet Sweet Cendrillon Drug will be replaced by another map
As I already noted in the map thread, 01:49:169 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,1) - this stream, starting on a blue tick and being totally random and impossible to anticipate is like impossible to get SS on, especially with Hard Rock and if you don't know it's coming

the thing is, this is inconsistent with the rest of the map, it doesn't make sense to the music whatsoever and is most likely not even intentional (at least I hope so)silmarilen wrote:

Dear God, stop complaining about everything guys. xD
Its not about difficulty, its about a mapping error that got noticed too late after ranking for the map to get unranked and fixed.silmarilen wrote:

It's not like you can't practice the maps beforehand....
omg, pavor nocturnus in freemod pool and we're out of the tournament. I'm so sad...
It's not like you can actually take a deep look at the maps before choosing them..Loctav wrote:

Also, it's not like you can actually listen to the people complaining instead of giving them vague answers and just ignore.
Let's pick mtmcl maps then. There's nothing wrong with mtmcl maps you can just practice them right..?Loctav wrote:

they did that in owc1
What's even the issue with exchanging it?
Deep Sea was swapped before, now this should be too, for, in my opinion, obvious reasons. You can't just pick downright broken maps for an official tournament and then expect the players to adapt to it

why wasn't egoism [nold] picked

Why would you waste your time on making a troll pool?
I don't think it took him much time. He probably just picked some random maps out of nowhere and set them to random categories.
aka stop complaining, do it betterI think I would do it better.
At least I'd devote several hours picking those maps and asked some players for advice.
#edit:
Played all the maps.
tutuhaha again shows that she deserves the title: worst mapper of the year. Children Record beats Saten's Kokou no Sousei in terms of being total shit <clap> <clap> <clap>
From NoMods Disconnected Hardkore shouldn't even be ranked.
HardRock bracket ok apart from strange streams in Cendrillion.
DT is meh, but no complaints this time. Just don't like the maps, but are ok for the owc.
I said enough about Dispel earlier, pls unrank this.
I was wondering why ppl wanted Ivaltek nomod so much. Seems like the AR was the only reason since the map isn't good at all. But well, freemod is ok.
Don't blame me, since this time I almost didn't pick any map of this mappool 
, I was planning to do it on Sunday though but when I woke up it was released already, so meh.

Then prepare it for next week, don't do it just a few hours in advance. And this also proves there is zero communication between the map selectors, I thought you'd be selecting them together.Darksonic wrote:

Blame me. I've been afk since group stage.
prepare mapsets in advance, before the tournament starts, then you can afk as much as you want \:D/

Ok, I didn't want this to end up here, but I can't seem to find any place for it anymore. Loctav isn't answering my PMs, perhaps he will read this.
I asked Loctav for a postpone of our match, because of Poland's inability to play on the next weekend. Obviously my request got rejected, even though the match is a semi-final and the organizers should do everything in their power to get the strongest rosters of all the teams into the game.
Ok, I gave up my hopes for a match during the week/next weekend. Loctav said he's planning the matches to be played on the next Sunday (I was talking with him Sunday evening, before releasing the schedule). Surprisingly next day I found out our match was put on Saturday, without our knowledge, and Saturday is the day when 3 of our players can't even be online at. I asked him immediately to put our match on Sunday (via forum PM), didn't get any response. I asked him again that evening when he was online, replying me that he can't change the schedule anymore, because 3 of 4 teams have agreed on Saturday, so why would he make an exception for 1 remaining team?. Yeah, sounds fucking stupid, right? Especially when we were not noticed the match was going to be moved from Sunday to Saturday.
This is obviously not the best part. The other mighty argument of Loctav was that Taiwan couldn't play at Sunday. So I decided to talk with the Taiwan's captain, Uan, privately to sort things out and find the best option for both of the teams so our best rosters face each other. After some time talking, Uan agreed on Sunday (I'm very thankful for that, I know they also don't have much freetime during the weekend). The only thing is that Loctav didn't agree on postponing the match even after both teams agreed on a fitting time. He replied to Rucker with such statement, but not to me (I PM'd him 1 minute after Rucker, PMing him in-game right now for ~3 hours as well), thus I write it here because I don't know where else.
Now my question, is this even fair? Should the organizers be so damn strict about the times at all costs during the semi-finals, even if it means a team losing with a walkover or playing with backups only? My trying to postpone this match is going on for 3 days, and I haven't been supported by the staff anyhow, not one fucking bit.
I hope for some positive reaction and support from others, I don't know where should I aim at anymore. I want the match to be as good as possible and the result as accurate.
