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

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..)? :?:

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?

no it was my fault, KRZY. I was being a bit dickish (before I edited post 10 times due to massive boredom) but tbh I dont want to hear 'not being a dick' from loctav, but he did initially say it with some reason

is there any way to up the stream quality?
pooptartsonas
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

All past broadcasts are locally stored and may be provided as soon as we found a viable solution for that.

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.
pooptartsonas
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.

The streamer forgot to check the title. Quarter-finals 2.0

So players are getting picked on? How?

I really hope tomorrow matches will go smoothly.

Yauxo, I got tricked by starting screen. Then i checked colours ;) Thanks for quick response, though.

PS. I believe somone said, that players can easily be tracked and DDoS'd by their skype names.

The stream/tournament is disgusting overall. You can't tell whose the best of the best overall, which is what this tournament is about in the first place.

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.

There's been a few, but nowhere near as many as before. Good shit [insert dev here]!

The fakemisses made it pretty exciting sometimes though.

Don't blame peppy for Bad player connections. Everyone knows russian network is shiet. And also they added one point for Russia which was supposed to be point for Korea, but oh well they just didn't checked the match mp link correctly and thought that Russian won that one beatmap...

I know, that one definitely needed a rematch. I wish we could do this tournament in a stadium or something... :?

Right now it's pretty impossible to watch the matches for peolple who can't be there live.

I never attempted in any way to gain pp on this account, so it's a given that it increases with random plays where I actually try hard. :P

I think OWC 2nd and 3rd place players should get badge too

OWC's second and third place players should get badge too, It's always 1st place players who gets the badge on their user page. And the 2nd and 3rd players doesn't get anything except few support months

But people will forget who placed in 2nd or 3rd place as time goes because there's nothing that shows who got which place stuff. Like the first and second OWC.
We know Taiwan won first OWC and Korea Second. But anybody know which country got 3rd place? Some poeple might know but not many people really know about 2nd and 3rd place countries. Plus, there's no wiki for first and second OWC.

And it's too sad that they achieved 2nd 3rd place so hard and only few people will remember them, and eventually, forget 2nd, 3rd players.
So they should be rewarded badges too, for their hard work and effort-making it to 2nd and 3rd place. Like Olympic. You know, they have gold medal, silver medal, and bronze medal for each 1st place, 2nd place, and 3rd place. So if tournament staff make 2nd place and 3rd place badge, it will surely look good on them, and they will be somewhat satisfied that they can actually get something from becoming 2nd and 3rd place, and they got something people can see and remember. They should be praised too.

I mean I knew we werent going to win... But I really had hope deep down inside, and losing like this, 6-0 has made me extremely depressed. I pity those that go against Poland, they're absolutely monsters, dominating over everyone and everything. GGWP

I've been arguing on this topic last year, too.

But well, it's not that this tournament is made for players
