I find it funny that you chose Skype, which was pretty much the main source of players' IP last year. At least I can't think of any other. The players who got DDoS'd during the match against China had their skype names in their userpages.


We're not paranoid, we just feel it's better to be safe than sorry.

Just imagine losing the fruit of hard work being thrown away because of some anti-fans DDoSing your team. We were pretty close to experience something like that, it came down to last seconds when the fourth available player came back.


I'm kind of surprised Germany joined without questioning the medium, they got DDoS'd last year, too.
As did we, it's a bother but at the end of the day it's the fun that matters.

Indeed fun is what matters, but it's not fun when you get DDoS'd in the middle of the game and you can't rejoin. Especially when there's no re-matches in case of players' drops since this year. Better safe than sorry, really. If someone wants to challenge us in a scrim, feel free to contact me via PM. We've already made one arrangement and will be facing France this Saturday btw.

Maybe I'm crazy but I'd say it's a hell of a lot more frustrating than it is fun being ddosed, even though I wasn't even the one having the issues. Losing legitimately feels so much better than losing because you couldn't even participate properly.

Keep going guys, shits getting good.

The OWC is about interacting with the worlds best players and enjoying yourselves. Hence why we're in a group together in order to organize things for our players.

I believe Skype did patch it but I don't think it prevents people who know what they're doing if I'm informed correctly. I think if you configure it properly with what cptnXn posted it will work for anyone who isn't on your contacts though? I'd like to think that it was random "fans", not the actual teams, who were ddosing, so hopefully that's enough even with a Skype group for scrims. I guess we'll find out.

We mentionned earlier the risk with skype is posting it publicly, stop overreacting.

Hi Loctav, can you please confirm that Malaysia has indeed submitted a registration? ClawViper, our captain has pm'd you ingame and forum pm'd the registration twice but has not received an acknowledgement reply yet while other countries he spoke to has already received theirs. Thanks!

Thanks for bringing this up. I have already done the steps 18 days ago but received no reply that registration has been received, so I did another registration with the same roster as my first time three days ago and sent another PM confirming the registration. I would like the acknowledgement PM for all the members that registration has been submitted.
deadbeat
from my understanding, captains will be getting informed if their team is accepted or not after the registration phase ends, which is tomorrow(?)
so give it a few more days and you'll know. have some patience

Loctav, please do confirm that we have indeed registered a roster through the same PM that you have sent to other countries' participants :( This has been on my mind for the past week, and probably on my teammates' as well.

I would really appreciate it very much if you could put my mind at ease.

Just wait for Loctav's final list, essentially there is no point in him saying, "You're on the list" then kicked out hours later.

Updated a few more rosters :P
Gigo
Oh wow. I am kinda... not impressed with Korea and Japan's rosters. It seems that many good players just decided not to participate this year. Even without the banned players since last OWC, Korea still has some beast players, but the were like "Yeah, we'll skip this year".

Japan is a little better, but it's still not the optimal roster they could get.

Netherlands on the other hand seems like a beast team, compared to last year. :)

EDIT: It's worth mentioning that South Korea is displayed indeed as "South Korea" instead of just "Korea" like last year. Small thing, but I'm glad it was fixed.

Yeah sadly most best players don't play anymore or if they do they really don't care much about the game anyways.

Also, lol at KR roster, some don't learn from their mistakes, KRZY pls.

Rooting for JP.

If I remember ever making a mistake in OWC it's missing on Emerald Sword in the very first one against Taiwan.

Also thanks for all the love, appreciate it!

The rules say that there must be at least 6 players in a team, HK has four according to the roster list.

The majority of them were annoying troll posts that deserved to be removed anyway but it is a shame that the few constructive ones that some people made were removed along with them

Let me preface by stating that the past 17 pages of this thread have been erased from existence because they contributed absolutely nothing beyond baseless speculation and complaining about the reason behind our policy choices for handling the OWC roster screenings- which, might I add, have not changed significantly across any OWC ever.

The general basis for refusal of participation is simple - if you break the community rules, you rescind your privilege to participate in officially organized tournaments. It's that simple. None of us particularly care if you believe multi-accounting is "not that serious" or doesn't constitute an offense that should prevent someone from playing. The point is, there are a bunch of legitimate players who manage to be competitive and do so without flagrantly breaking the rules we have in place to try and keep things fair for everyone.

The majority of the people "petitioning" for changes in this regard in the 17-pages-that-never-happened were petitioning to have players who disrespected these rules openly included in OWC rosters, and to be pit against players who are legitimate and have spotless records.

Attacking the staff hosting the event for your own inability to follow rules (or your support for players who have been found to do so) is pretty disgusting. I am legitimately ashamed to share a community with more than a few of you. Thankfully, the largely positive outpouring of support for OWC and the players who are allowed to play in it greatly outweighs the veritable tide of shit that the tournament staff is forced to endure during screening this time of the year. Usually. This year might come close to an exception there, though.

There are provisions in place for people who have been refused OWC participation this time around to petition their case. We'll also think about cutting back the duration that infringements and more serious infractions count for exclusion in tournament play in single cases for people who aren't habitual offenders.
Ephemeral
I should specify - some of the posts that got caught in the nuke radius were constructive, and were kept in the bin because of their complete lack of context otherwise. For those posters, I salute you. You know who you are.
Ephemeral
Triple post for true seriousness - I am monitoring this thread very closely now and will be earnestly considering well-thought out constructive responses. God help those who shitpost while I am watching, because they will suddenly find themselves unable to read and post any longer.

thanks eph, but people abusing the rules will always want a loophole. best not to give it to them imo
