SapphireGhost wtf

Also, Soba doing so much work for US. He deserves a medal
CodeS
SapphiGhost and Soba MVP's of this match.

That Tiebreaker omg.
Xayne
SG is going to get all of the hype from casual onlookers, and it's warranted, but Kitteh, Soba, and Xilver on the HR's locked it down. Massive team effort today. I'm fanboying hardcore and have zero fucks to give.

Honestly I think properly warmed up for that kind of map and without that kind of pressure any player of each team could have 98%+ FCed evolve cybernation. It's "just" 205 BPM. :p

a 6.25 star fc is still more impressive than a 5.67 star fc with hidden

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 ;)

we almost lose to everyone and then comeback

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 :
  1. match lasts forever
  2. still entertaining from the beginning to the end
  3. they always win at the end anyway

That's what I was thinking, first you got tiebreaker with us (Italy), then with Korea and now with Netherlands. :o
LoGo
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?
manjumochi
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 :lol: )

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? :shock:
Are the competitors allowed to use their own computers or laptops? :shock:
Are there some changes done with the visual settings that are unchangable ( like no video, no skin, ignore beatmaps skin/sound, no image, etc..)? :?:

Players can play with whatever mouse, tablet, computer, skin, settings, clothes and haircut that they want. ;)

You can see the rules and use your common sense to answer these questions.

For example:
Are the competitors allowed to use their own computers or laptops?
Do you think they play in like football world cup in Brazil, where they are invited to one country and the staff providing them laptop? Hell no.

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? You know all OWC players are playing their matches at home so why would they switch to different devices?

during esports at LAN events, players use different chairs desks and computers from what they're used to, only their peripherals are brought with them, if OWC ever gets that big that will probably happen too

I know and you are right, but you just cannot simply compare Osu!with other games like LoL, Dota2, SC etc. In Osu! you are just way too dependent on your own setup unless in other games. It just will not work

eyes on the prize

ok I am really bored. inb4 ban ban ban ban ban ban ban ban ban ban

eye of 1
1v1 4:5 since Germany LOVES tiebreakers
Japan may or may not have a lead
1V1 dont underestimate polands childishness. they can kill
not as strong, but always strong somehow.... stereotypes
wasted potential, but convincing results SO when did they get good?

is there any way to up the stream quality?

I noticed the Group Stage VODs have been deleted, if the Twitch channel has not checked the option to save VODs permanently then I would do so.
xxdeathx
yeah i wanted to watch the VODs today but couldn't find a link anywhere on the twitch channel or the wiki >.<
AmaiHachimitsu
Good job streamers ^^


There is also one thing I noticed in the last OWC, preserving the matches' MP links. Last year's ones have been deleted long time ago and I don't want this to happen again. This one probably will need Peppy's assisstance T.T

Twitch no longer saves VoD's permanently. If you want to save it permanently, you have to make a highlight out of it. I think they keep past broadcasts for a max of two weeks now.

Oh wow, they just keep getting stricter about that. Never mind then, having them uploaded somewhere else is probably better anyway.

Dunno what you technicals guys did, but Twitch stream is getting worse.

That's more likely to be DoS attacks. If it was Bancho, every player would disconnect.

I would feel kinda awkward, when every screen appears black and it's silent for like 20 seconds. Like 4k people are watching nothing, while waiting that the game appears again lol.

I haven't watched much today, but I will have to give credit to Peppy where it's due. As vocal as I have been about the negative side of things, I will say I did notice a significant decrease in the amount of fake combo breaks last week. There were a few, but not nearly as much as before. Kudos.

There was no reason to add loser's bracket for this cup. Loser's bracket must define winners more accurately (1st, 2nd, 3rd places). But nothing can to be defined accurately since permanently disconnectes ruin owc. There are too many random. This OWC can not be legit.

P.S. I guess, korean team is stronger, than russian team, but last match Russia-Korea is just dc roulette, nothing else. Random > skill difference.
