Have you considered streaming the matches off of replay files instead of streaming them live (would be like 5-10 minute delay) to cut down on some of the lag and client issues? It seems like most of the issues are caused by network jitter.
Also casters seem to be lost about what to talk about sometimes. I know casters for other games talk about things other than just the game just to keep people entertained. Game topics outside of OWC stuff would tie in nicely (such as opinions on ppv2.0, different mods, "how to get better", etc.). I definitely think there is more they could talk about as far as individual players (perhaps do some research on players and talk to them beforehand?). Also, if you say something about a player in one match, and they play in another match 8 hours later, it never hurts to repeat what you said. Not everyone watches from start to finish. Something just feels extremely lacking and I'm not sure the best way to put it into words so hopefully the above touches on it properly.
TL;DR network problems + casting feels unrefined

Nothing against your opinion or suggestions but they do talk about other mods and such, what do you watch? they also talk about osu!Academy and if you have lag issues with your stream, just fix your comcast internet or refresh. If players Disconnect during a match is their fault not the client lol. You should give more good feedback to the casters and management they are doing a great job so far, as best as they can.chainpullz wrote:

Well, it lags even in normal spectator mode (and with same problems), maybe this could be a hint to solve (or not, because of internet connections all over the world have a lot of variations, even good internet connection sometimes have lag).
I am guessing that these teams will make it to quarter finals based on history and statistic (basically nothing)
Germany, Netherlands, Taiwan, Austria, Argentina, Japan, Poland, South Korea
Hopefully I am wrong though, someone might hate me for jinxing them
Why South Korea? Shouldn't it be China
and goodbye jesse cuz Austria will rekt UK

so, when will the loser bracket be held?
I don't know but I smell a big drama.
I believe it starts next week. I think we haven't been given details because the staff is still figuring out how to do it most efficiently, because it really will be a cluster of matches and some weird delays when the Winner's Bracket is done.NaCulus wrote:

The question was when it starts, not what it will look like. And I don't see any information about that in Stage Instructions. What we want to know is when and under which mappool (present or next) loser's bracket matches will be scheduled. It's for the losing teams to be informed as not to be suddenly surprised with "you're playing tomorrow at 9am" or similar info.

You shouldnt worry about such stuff too much. Every match is scheduled and pool-assigned to the according round in the table. There are letters, there is a round name. There you have your assignment.AmaiHachimitsu wrote:

This tournament.... I can't even.

So much hate on Locatav in Australia vs Netherlands...
And now the censorship. This chat is turning into communism where every single rude comment will be shot on sight.
R.I.P.

For a good reason though.. If you're gonna make stuff up on the fly as a staff member for the OWC just because you can't handle a joke, the OWC loses a lot of credibility.Athrun_Yamato wrote:

Man this is turning serious.
Some picture highlights:
Attempt of clearing the commotion
Second time. They actually stopped the comment flow...
The happystick movement
The chat has ever gone so quiet.. A first in OWC history
Is this the next Tienanmen Square incident?

I expect this post to be deleted but whatever, at least so many people can see this.
The way Loctav is acting is really cheapening the OWC imo

I don't know if you're having a bad day Loctav, but this time you committed a sin of power abuse.
You literally threatened Fuxvanes with 2h silence for saying "chill". This is far beyond the proper way of managing a tournament.
In this case I'm inclined to really say it
Chill, please
Thanks

This is probably going too far for what Loctav said. It's too intense. Probably really stressed today.AmaiHachimitsu wrote:

He wouldn't be the kind of person to do this, wow.
I'm expecting another wipeout in this thread soon
The chat was pretty retarded from my point of view, but those silences were dumb as well. You should be a bit more tolerant on jokes, honestly.
Also serious question: will that loser bracket thing be on rest of world cups as well?

There will be another one. Did this kind of thing happen last year? I don't recall it happening last year.-Kamikaze- wrote:

And for that question, probably.
it's twitch chat, what do you expect? it's just that the individuals modding the chat either weren't familiar with twitch as a platform or how to moderate larger channels. and ya, thread wipe inc-Kamikaze- wrote:

It was peaceful owc last year, so was mwc
This tournament is already taking its turn on the bad side...
Oh right, most of the players got banned from the tournament, that's what happened...
Then.. what has changed this year?-Kamikaze- wrote:

The way they are trying to moderate Twitch chat is horrid. Definitely driving people away. You'd think it was their first time ever on Twitch. The production of this has to be one of the worst I've ever seen for a gaming competition. I love osu, but this is just embarrassing. I'm not sure if osu actually wants to try to get bigger on the e-sports stage, but with stuff like this, it's going nowhere fast. If it doesn't care about that scene, then it definitely shows and I just need to lower expectations of production.
There were bans in mwc tho. I mean, WHOLE Candian 7K team got banned from it because of multi's. Also some teams didn't participate in any matches and there were issues with timezones and maps being too easy in groups (like 3,5* maps), but there wasn't even a tiny bit of dramas that are hereAthrun_Yamato wrote:

It definitely seems like the mods have absolutely no idea how to moderate twitch chat. I eventually just left the stream because the smart mods decide the best way to fix everything is to silence the chat.
Same story every year. The same childs keep whining before the tournament even begin and keep whining until the tournament ends. yet they are still here every year, you threat every year but you never do anything. Just undertake your words, and don't play if you are unhappy, stop building unecessary drama everytime. If you think people can do whatever they want just because they are good players without facing any consequencies just make your own tournament where people can do whatever they like, say whatever they want and behave as diresrespectful and offensive as they want. The rules were clear from the beginning, if you don't agree with them just don't register...
And the twitch chat was being a huge cancer.
And by the way, you don't know what communism is, so stop spreading it like an insult or to imply you are facing a dictatorship. You also do not know what a dictatorship and your comparison is offensive and arrogant.
I'm just going to enjoy the rest of the matches from now and look forward to the other world cups when people are actually being civilized unlike here.
