Obviously Loctav gave Sweden an edge by not only decreasing Japan's score without anyone knowing, but also physically attacking and injuring their star player rrtyui and making him unable to participate. This was all done by the command of Zallius in order to increase the chances of the team he was rooting for to win.B1rd wrote:
Did Japan seriously get knocked out of the tournament? Well that's shit. I blame loctav.
I mean, Zallius WAS cheering for Sweden after all. Coincidence?
how do we know it wasn't you and that you're trying to frame the germans? and the australians
conspiracy confirmed
Having done a bit of small-time casting in the past, I can say it would help if there were someone who made it a point to ask questions if it did start to feel like conversation was winding down. Whether they are simple questions that everyone would already know the answer to is irrelevant. The general rule is that ANY kind of information being given is better than silence. You could go into history in past OWC's for the respective countries, take that time to mention some of the lesser known players, etc. At times like that, repeating a topic is still a better option than just letting the cast die. There's plenty that could fill the silence, but it's a billion times easier if there's someone who's main purpose is to ask questions. It's much easier to answer on a topic than to just randomly create one. Just my two cents.Mr Color wrote:
about the hyping up players thing, we try to keep a balance going. Of course, if a player like WWW/rrtyui/HappyStick steps in, we're gonna hype it up if only because they're so well known, the viewers will recognize them very easily and they'll be hyped up as well. We do have to point out the strong players that are not as well known; people have already mentioned MathClass's outstanding overall performance, and if any of the lesser known players pull off strong plays, we'll be sure to mention them as well.
The commentary is generally awkward when there's nothing going on, I agree. There's many times where it's just radio silence, waiting for setup. You could argue that we could discuss the upcoming/ongoing match, but it's usually very quickly done and we can very quickly become obnoxious by repeating ourselves. ztrot is very good at interacting with people for padding, however I don't look at twitch chat due to my setup (laptop warriors where we at) so I can't really do that. I am going to send an invitation to ToGlette and jesus1412 to speak up a little bit more if they feel like it. Raiku has already given us a lot of insight on gameplay which I think made the commentary so much more valuable than just my/ztrot's play-by-play.

announcing "player of the game" or "tournament mvp" or something like that, imo would be pretty fun
All I really want is more jesus casting, besides my fanboyism i really think he has a lot of relevant player perspective to give, i think he should look at the matchups beforehand and take some time to write down his thoughts prior to the broadcast on the players/map/whatever and keep it up while casting so he'd have more to say and it would just be so enriching to the viewing experience overallMr Color wrote:

That said, Xytox's donut avatars look so tasty, every time i see them i imagine how they taste and it drives me to insanity.

Few important things:
1. The notification about OWC in the menu. I would love it to be like last year, with flags of teams playing. It would totally drag the unaware people into watching.
2. Is there a possibility for the matches to be recorded WITH a chat? I think there is and I'd love to see it.
3. Loctav usually does it, but when he's not around I'd like somebody from the staff to post match mp links in the #owc. It's not always that one can watch the stream.

Question: What function does the loser bracket have? What does the winner win? The wiki doesn't quite seem to explain this.
Suggestion: Make the results available somewhere as soon as they're available. I don't have the faintest idea where to get the latest results without watching or waiting if I'm interested. Would make the whole thing seem more professional if results were easily available.

I'd still like to voice my opinion that it isn't very clear. I made a mistake I would imagine is quite common among people not following the OWC very carefully. It would be a relatively simple thing to fix, too.

Duh, I just explained how. The bronze medal usually stands for the 3rd place and I had literally no idea it was connected to winning the loser bracket before Torepin said so (and actually Torepin didn't say so, so I'm still only guessing).Xayne wrote:

No...winning the loser's bracket would mean you got to the finals. That would be silver. Bronze would be the team that got beat in the loser's bracket final.Xiyng wrote:

To clarify, Gold is the winner of the grand final (duh), Silver is the loser of the grand final (the game between the winner of the winner's bracket and the winner of the loser's bracket), and Bronze is the loser of the loser's bracket final.
There is sth called rechat for twtich(I'm not sure if I can post link - just google it). It allows you to see previous transmisions with chat - just keep in mind that logs of twitch chat can't be hold longer than 2 days (so you cant see chat from last week).AmaiHachimitsu wrote:

Just had a discussion with the boys about who's gonna win it all in the winner's bracket
Conclusion was that Tommany and WhiteWolfland will fight it out, but Tom the multiplayer lord of humans will be overwhelmed by White Wolf the multiplayer lord of Gods minus ruruchi.
Better prove us wrong Tom, can't let Poland win it

all planned to let everyone think we're bad
3/5 Matches with Tiebreaker so far, atleast we produce the most entertaining matches
Watching Germany matches feels like watching a sport anime, like Eyeshield 21 or something :
- match lasts forever
- still entertaining from the beginning to the end
- they always win at the end anyway

Don't know if this has been touched, but maybe when person disconnects, score that is set(till DC) could be counted? Setting instant 0 is kinda harsh, especially if you consider that even spectator clients randomly crash, why wouldn't normal osu client do so?
Tip: Don't go to tiebreaker against Germany because you'll lose.
The truth is Germany has a QB control of the matches (and probably have the stronger team, despite other teams being very strong).
The next matches looks very interesting for (almost) all teams remaining in WC, there are a lot of hype. GG. (Missing a thumbs up emot here

But then the argument will be "what if this particular player would fail the map?". In such a case giving him any score wouldn't be fair
So mad about missing the winner bracket matches. I'll have to check them out later.

I think I'm not the only ignorant around osu who wants this question to be answer, of how are the rules for the tournament?
I mean, are the competitors allowed to use skins? Use their own talbets or mouse, and keyboard, only tablet or only mouse?
Are all the computers with the same resolution and specifications, are there some default mouse, keyboard for all computers and what type are them?
Are the competitors allowed to use their own computers or laptops?
Are there some changes done with the visual settings that are unchangable ( like no video, no skin, ignore beatmaps skin/sound, no image, etc..)?

Well I think your question was kinda stupid though. Just think about it yourself. Could you play to your max. performance if you don't use your own skin/pc/mouse/tablet/keyboard?
