Damn these picks are so fucking annoying/boring/dumb.


Nomod:

Nuclear fusion - Not a bad pick. HARD TO READ (more like dumb as fuck to read).
Ningen - Not a bad pick. HARD TO READ.
Couple dance - Terribly easy to fail on the ending due to 1 fuck up and hard to recover. Only the ending really should matter here and it's pretty boring to watch until the second half but I personally like it.
Shuffle heaven - Another chancy map but overall consistently easy to fail so not that bad. HARD TO READ.
Force of wind - Not a bad pick. HARD TO READ.
Kamui - Good pick I guess but it annoys me for some reason.

(Too much reading dependence?)

Nomod #2 (Gimmicky/joke play/showoff central):

Scream as hard as you can - Pretty generic 2013 patterns, long and gets boring fast.
Serment - Good pick but the opposite of the above map, kinda short.
Caramel - Long and boring.
Mephisto - Great nomod pick!

HD:

They're all HD mod so that sucks. They're all long as fuck apart from meme. Meme is the only one which seems interesting even slightly, the rest are dumb.

HR:

Lapfoxed - Boring as fuck relative to the intensity of other mod brackets.
Real World - Seems okay, I just dislike the mod but it's a good representation of high level hr (very generic high level hr at least).
Anisakis - INSANELY hard compared to a lot of other picks imo but a good non-generic hr map. My only issue is it requires a bit of memorizing but eh.
Reunion - What the fuck is this doing here, move it to the DT bracket or something.

DT:

Colors - Good pick.
Fermion - Total memorization double time map, no one will read this without a few plays.
Splendid encounter - Really nice AR10.3 map, not too hard that no one has a chance at comboing. Nice pick.
Parousia - Boring streamy mash map.



General:

All the mod brackets are too imbalanced or not actually mod brackets. Every bracket has it's shit picks but the nomod and nomod #2 brackets seem rather well done in general. I would be surprised to see a hd pick for obvious reasons, same with a freemod pick where someone uses a mod. A lot of maps I've listed as "good picks" aren't fun to practice or just a chore to learn, fun to watch but horrible to have to actually play.

Damn right. First time I have to force myself to train those maps, they're quite unfun to practice.

it's really hard to please you jesse

though i agree that some of the picks really don't deserve to be in the final bracket, there is certainly enough maps that are good enough as a decent roster

Also a map being too difficult to read isn't really a legitimate excuse to complain, since reading is also a skill, not just speed and aim.


imbalance is also inevitable, as you can't have two maps with the exact same skill level and also letting the teams choose from a variety of maps, rather than a similar map with a different song playing to it.

Tiebreaker toooooooo fast for Taiwan

Great turn out from everyone, congrats to Korea and bad luck to Taiwan. A great game overall, I don't think we could've hoped for a more ideal final in terms of the way it developed.

I didn't wake up early enough to catch it live . The recording on Twitch cuts out after 1 hour. http://www.twitch.tv/osulive/b/485586893

I'm having an unhealthy amount of anxiety waiting to watch the end of this match!

I can't watch after the first hour either Is is possible for someone to upload to YT or something?

The last half hour of the archive is also viewable since Twitch internally saves videos in 30 minute chunks, and it looks like only the third chunk (~1:00:00-1:30:00) is corrupt or missing.

Hopefully Twitch can recover it if peppy (or whoever controls the osulive Twitch account) reports the issue. Otherwise it looks like that part of the match will be lost unless someone happened to record it and posts it somewhere.

edit: oh, and congrats to both Korea and Taiwan for such an amazing match!

United Kingdom 1 - 6 Poland

https://osu.ppy.sh/mp/3272199

And this is how owc is done for this year , gratz to Korea, Taiwan and Poland, even if the last two didn't win they did a great job overall on the tournament, and that place is totally deserved.

WW so carry.

Seconded, deleting him (Niko) from our player's list would be alright as well. Also, Hesus best polak in UK.
