So, how many counties have registered so far ? With all those countries not jumping in, I'm afraid the 32 slots won't be filled tomorrow D:

We are having issues filling all slots. Considering to change the tourney setup due to this
Nashmun
This is not a good news for taiko community. I'm sure we do have enough players to fill all slots but people tend to focus more about having a God like team rather than getting 3 regular players from the same country :( . Anyway, looking forward to see the teams
Haereticus
So , will the teams come out tomorrow ?

Can't wait to see which countries there are.

The checkthroughs of all rosters will be done tomorrow. Please finalize your rosters until tomorrow, since all changes will be forfeited later. The checkthroughs are starting then and then I will release a list of all countries that are going to participate. I will try to find an appropriate solution in case of a lack of teams. Don't worry.

Just to be sure (since you posted in the middle of the night): Do you mean we have time to finalize our roasters until (including) Monday or only for the rest of today?

*randomly passing by*

Umm, idk about us... To be honest, the hype on us about this event can be considered very low, although Thelma himself said he's still looking for members...

I can't really certain about Indonesia's condition right now, let's just see later anyway (:

Good luck to all participants on this event anyway!

Sad to see that.
But when A.B team is not allowed. Really easy to be like this situation..

I think it's not easy to have enough countries to attend.Then what will you decide Loctav?
Cyntu

Actually I'm pretty sure we do have 32 countries with at least 3 regular players. I've seen some players not participating because : "We don't have enough players in my country" even though I could find at least 2 others players who plays every days and has more than 10k PC. But some people just tend to think that if you can't FC every ranked map then you're not capable of playing in the TWC. Unfortunately, this is not giving a good image of taiko community because it has grown since last year but we have the impression it haven't just because of that.

I'm not gonna speak for Loctav because I don't know the whole situation, but did you guys follow the rules for registering? This happened before where some people didn't send a PM to Loctav after registering like is required in the rules.

are u really sure? Though I haven't calculate before,but maybe u can have a compare with the owc..
Then, though some players have pc more than 10k, they don't want to join either, for a not very correct example ,Rokodo?
Nashmun
I calculated how much countries we could gather just with players I already know, and I could gather more than 20 countries, and I wasn't that far from 32. Yes the issue is players not wanting to join and some not even being asked because they are not known in the taiko community (ie. people think they don't exist).

About Argentina not being in pending countries, I guess it's because we couldn't gather 32 teams, so they decided to cut off the number of participant to 20, and if you sent your application after 20 teams then maybe you're not on the list. But this is just an assumption, we should wait for the official answer ;)

EDIT : After reading the wiki page, it looks like this is the case. We now have 4 groups of 5 teams and #1-#4 of each group ascend to the knock-out stage. If we could gather more than 20 countries and having to reject some, maybe we can try to gather 24 teams, make 6 groups of 4 teams, make #1-#2 ascend + the 4 best #3. As we have to play the group stage in one single week-end, it will be easier for both part to make groups of 4 teams ?

Good luck there.

If the teams really wanted to register they could have done it during the given time. Unfortunately the fact is, a lot of country just don't want to participate.
Yeah, you're right.

Anyway, good luck everyone.

Every team underruns the same check. If you want to change your roster, do it now. Your team hasn't been checked yet, so you can still exchange some members. But hurry up. Whenever the check started, changes are invalid.

Doublepost: I know that you have a different "culture of forum postings", but I decided to remove any post that weren't contributive to any discussion at all. Every post that lacks of a basic content got removed and will be removed in future.

I'm sure that you will be able to watch a stream on twitch and spec the players individually.
Nashmun
Yup, matches will be streamed on twitch through the official world cup channel here : http://www.twitch.tv/osulive
