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 reasonKRZY wrote:

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.
yeah i wanted to watch the VODs today but couldn't find a link anywhere on the twitch channel or the wiki >.<
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.
Someone by the name of xasuma has all the broadcast Group Stages on YouTube.pooptartsonas wrote:

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 wrote:

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.
Welp, it's more about Bancho. Every game players are disconnecting.

This is the semi final. Check the colours. Even the mappool is named "semi finals"
That's more likely to be DoS attacks. If it was Bancho, every player would disconnect.[-Cloud-] wrote:

The streamer forgot to check the title. Quarter-finals 2.0
So players are getting picked on? How?Minifrij wrote:

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.
Gotta say huge props to Color for trying to commentate all this shit.
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.Plaatinum wrote:

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.

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...
wow
can someone show me the mp link of korea and russia match?
nl is the only european country that went through in the loser bracket
That Russia vs South Korea game was.. wow.

Hey guys,

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

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
Damn I wanna see Austria vs Germany
Someone please tell me you recorded it. Pretty please.

Schedule is out (mother of god)
>potential US vs Korea match
This probably was a killer to schedule huh
This probably was a killer to schedule huh
As this year's OWC is nearly done i would want to give some feedback from how i have expierienced this tournament as a viewer and what i think was done good/bad and what other options there are to improve it for next year.
Good Stuff: I'm kinda happy that some of the points that have been discussed have been adressed this year. Fake misses were nearly eliminated. Twitch chat rules have gotten a lot more reasonable. Players were handled more respectfully after a certain incident. Commentators seem to have gotten quite a bit better since the start of the tournament. Mapsets were chosen really carefully, and were really good, maybe with the exception of group stages being too easy. Loser's bracket was introduced making it less possible on some random DC to effect to whole tournament really harshly.
What i think could still be changed:
DC's: How about, since OWC is handled on a different server anyways, as i understood it, if a player disconnects, his play wont be aborted and his score will be counted toward the multi-lobby after he finishes his map, no matter if he stayed connected the entire song? Idk how possible this is, but it would get rid of this issue entirely and no unfair wins would occur.
Twitch chat: While the moderation has gone down a lot, maybe let us say those pesky banned words, theres no real reason not to imo. At least put the chat rules somewhere in the streamdecription
Schedule: While i understand that 1 Hour seems like a good time interval for matches, it might be too tight to make it comfortably. The other match probably has not ended by then, so players had been pressured for it to hurry up while making their choices. Making it 1.5 Hours or even 2 until the next match starts would get rid of this and this should easily be doable after group stages.
Stream Quality: Maybe you could try applying for a sub button on twitch, so quality options are permanently unlocked? Also make sure the internet connection you are hosting the stream from is stable and strong enough, which sometimes didn't seem that way (i noticed frame drops and such, that were not related with twitch or my own internet connection).
Commentators: Be more courageous to talk! Come on, people just want to hear a voice that is confident in talking, not a shaky voice from someone who is uncertain I know you guys can do it, some of you run their own streams and do it well there aswell. So don't be shy or so. Long pauses are just akward for everyone involved. I think you also gotten better at this throughout the tournament as stated earlier.
Stream description: The info below the stream is as minimalistic as it gets. Put some more useful info into it.
Alright im done, take from it what you want and at least give it a thought ;D
