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.TequilaWolf wrote:

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

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.ClawViper wrote:

Updated a few more rosters 
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.

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.
Wait to see our roster.Wishy wrote:

Snow White not playing this year?

Is that the full team of Hong Kong? Isn't the minimum requirement 6 in a team?

So I either have the ability to see into the future or this thread suddenly lost ~16pg worth of posts. Which is it?
It's pretty obvious that they were removedReverseTime wrote:

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.

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.
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.

I SHOULD REALLY LEARN TO READ BECAUSE I JUST LOST MY FORUM ACCESS RIGHTS FOR NOT DOING IT
As always, anybody with questions/concerns that they don't feel they can voice here or are concerned about asking publicly can email me at ephemeral@ppy.sh, or send me a PM on the forums, whatever you're comfortable with.

Though it'd be a pity because I have to post the map lists.
This is more of a heads up to not provoke ephemeral. You know better. Be better than the ones you're trying to get here.
A very fair point, Gladi. I would be inclined to agree if 17 pages and numerous attempts from dozens of other people had succeeded at all, but alas, it has not, and now I am here.
Moral superiority is not the goal here, it is to keep this thread ordered and pointed towards a specific purpose beyond simply shittalking staff members for trying to make the game better for everyone else.

I have a question about the group stage:
I'd like to know so I can postpone my friday activities if necessary.
SPOILER
Belgium's roster is not yet listed on the wiki so I had no reason to join the drama anyway
I have a question about the group stage:
Group Stage 8-9 Nov 2014Does this imply there will be no matches on friday?

Go Brasil! (And Japan, if Brazil can't play or be eliminated).

At least I can support for some countrys, I hope. (Or this is prohibited, too?)

Sorry for being late in the thread. But indeed we need to learn how to make available discussions here, rather than just showing bad feelings, flaming, baiting. ( For example I know we have fun in copying posts in Chinese community, I know we have no bad intention such as insulting or something else. But this is not an appropriate attitude for discussing, that is only for talking some thing not too serious.) These will do no good for the game.
Just saying that we need to adjust our attitude towards discussion. For Chinese speakers, if you get trouble in communicating in English, I'd like to be your translator. Better than Baidu or Google. （Translation of the last sentence: 如果有正式的讨论性质的东西，而英文交流又吃力的话，可以找我当中英翻译，比翻译机稍微强一点）

With all due respect, "serious and appropriate" discussions already took place several times but it just doesn't work, there is reason shitstorms happen, it's not that everyone's out to get you and troll you but that there is an actual problem.
Point has been made anyways so let's see what management does/say about this, which according to what we already experienced is gonna be nothing, so let's drop it already and wait.
And I have to tell everyone what Ephemeral says is right, OWC has always been managed this way for years and there are no "special rules" coming up right now, they were used before but not written down on the corresponding wiki, kind of extra official, but nothing's changed and this OWC is just like every other.

Why no trophy this year?
Also peppy said something about allowing crowd funding. Actually it doesn't make sense in the current state of affairs, but if anything, I'd like to see it being more uhhh, accessible?

it would be cool if we'd be able to buy an owc compendium. predicting the outcome of matches and predicting which map will be picked/banned the most etc. is really fun if you can easily compare the predictions with other players having such a compendium.
