Stop asking then.

I don't know why you're being so hostile. I'm literally just curious as to why some of these players aren't allowed to play. Nothing more, nothing less.

Since some matches overlap each other, I guess only the chosen one will be streamed (like last year).


And last year the match schedule included a note whether a given match was gonna be streamed or not.

When will the rosters be updated? I heard there were some last minute changes for some teams.

I want to see Brazil vs Japan but at the same time we have South Korea vs Germany... (Both of them will be great games, I believe).
Would be nice if we have option to see (or at least on other time) some replays.
KRZY
Don't we get VODs? Although I agree it's different from watching it live..
Froslass
It would be cool to have another channel streaming as well, but the streamer availability would have to be pretty higher than it is right now

I have a question of the utmost importance.

Are we allowed to draw things on our screens with the smoke option during the OWC Matches, and will they be visible on the live stream ?
silmarilen
im pretty sure you can use common sense on that.

I'd say it should be usable within reason?
Soinou

silmarilen wrote:

I'm asking because there's no rule on that, and the staff might fear someone will draw questionable content while on the live stream.

I just want confirmation that it's allowed, since rules are not clear on this point.
silmarilen
questionable content is never allowed. that's where the common sense part comes in.
there is no reason why drawing anything else shouldnt be allowed
Minhtam
I have a legitimate question - would players be allowed to spectate World Cup matches on in-game multiplayer mode?
silmarilen
you cant, the rooms are on a seperate server so you cant actually see the players as online
Minhtam
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks. I'll just watch through twitch.tv

it would be nice if Brazil had at least one streamed match, but all of our matches have other much more interesting matches at the same time :(

Would be cool if multiple channels were streamed to so we can see the matches that are on the same time.

I don't think that's true, since captains invite their members through the f8 screen.

Thing is silm, you can't use common sense to try to figure out invisible rules in a tournament where many of the visible rules lack any

It is true, and yes, they invite their members probably through the f8 screen, but obviously their team members will also be on that server.

I disagree, hearing the commentators talk right now in the pre-game, the music is quite comparable in volume with their voices. Perhaps even louder. Being able to clearly hear the commentators is more important than hearing a bit of the music playing, anyways.

Yes, it is MP team VS.
It uses the same client and everything, just connects to a different server, so everything is the same as in regular multiplayer.

Ok, few things after the first match day.


Although I know it concerns only color x ztrot duo, I'm saying this to all the commentators

We all are aware how important a player WWW is, but I can definitely see how he is sometimes depicted as god without a good reason.

- Freemod Pick, WWW hasn't played the maps so he sticks with nomod while me and farto and SterruM pick HardRock. Who gets the standing ovation? "Great score by WWW with only 1x 100s and good job farto blah blah for getting a Full Combo"

- DT pick, we arrive at the first break (about half of the map). Farto and WWW still got SS. What's the comment? "OH MY GOD WWW still with SS" Farto apparently was invisible.

Well, it's not that we demand more praise, it's simply that the comments like the ones above imply that we're fucking carried by the mighty WWW each map and it makes the rest of the team look unneeded, extra, dummies etc.



In other news

I don't know what causes it, but stream quality reaches bottom. Commentators' voice being robotic, traditional fake combo drops (client's fault?). I will oversee too strict rules for twitch.


Next is:

I already said it earlier, it's 7 days before the next round, please mappool


and now:

As you can see, not many upsets took place, but only today many of them were very close to happen. This just confirms our worries about the mappool. Germany and Austria clinched their wins in tiebreaker.

And last:

Seems like 5000 dollars isn't enough as to get a stable and secure server. Players are getting kicked, their osu! crashes and generally bancho is like a ticking bomb.

Actually one more:

Statistics are updated at the speed of slowpoke.

Peace

I wonder why it seams many pro players have bad connexions. Many fake combo drops, players making the stream laggy or desynched, and even disconnections.
Also why the stream is only @ 2000kbps and without quality options ? ;-o
Xayne
Does Bancho have some kind of ddos detection system in place? I know it's kind of hard to pinpoint in a tournament this large over the internet, but I have a hard time believing that all of a sudden these players have insane connection issues to a game that doesn't require much of one. It's bad to think about, but at the same time you'd have to be pretty naive to think there isn't at least a little bit of that going on across the entire tournament.
Heterozygous_old
A quick reminder to those commentators:

Keep an eye on the discussion board, and make sure you'll do what ztrot has been doing before he left.
I don't want to see anymore examples of the map link updated after the game went for two rounds after warm-up. This is ridiculous.

No, it means that said countries were underpracticed or just not as good as they are seen to be. Problem is on them, not on the mappool.

We are experiencing some.. interferences by pissed people while we stream and play. That's why you all shall do not open skype, teamspeak, steam or any other 3rd party program that exposes your IP to others in order to avoid getting targetted. Our commentators were also affected, so apologizes for this.

Keep in mind that it is your very own responsibility to keep yourself secure, because we can not help you, if you make yourself a beloved target for scumbags trying to ruin your tournament experience. Don't forget that.

Moreover, pools and schedules were ALWAYS released on Sunday evening or directly after the last match of groupstage took place. It was never different. And as long as the time span is equal for everyone to practise, it's still fair.

Players getting kicked and dropping is the player's fault. Most are having Skype open in background and they target the users directly. The servers are running perfectly fine.

Time to blame Azer ;)

is that why everyone got disconeccted from bancho earlier? (a lot of ppl were mentioning it in streachat aswell. oh and yes i know participants using a different "server")
score submission went down for a few aswell. hmmmm...
Gigo
What's the reason for the fake combo drops that can be seen on stream? Is it the client's fault and if it is, can it be fixed?
Xytox
But closing down Skype won't help much if the attacker has already acquired the ip, will it?

It's worrying to say the least, and really sad at that as well. Like holy shit. I refuse to believe that Norway would disconnect that much against us. I could bet thousands of dollars that they wouldn't if it was a regular match in multiplayer. Still, that's what happened, and they were not the only ones. Some of my teammates dropped as well. One got kicked from the server entirely even.

And then when our match is done, the next matches gets streamed and not a single problem in sight.

Like I'm so confused. Who the actual fuck would be interested in DDoS'ing Norway or Sweden out of all countries?

This seems to stop skype resolvers at the very least. Probably still possible for contacts to get the IP, in which case using a proxy is always an option.

If you're promoting us to not use skype, can you atleast make an ingame chatrooms like #red and #blue? Skype and other third party programs are good for team communication, but ingame would be nice.

Smoo will work on it. Meanwhile, use the language chats or #ctb or #taiko. They yet exist on the OWC bancho and are empty.
