Out of curiosity what would you guys think of moving the round 1 pool to round 2 and making one thats slightly easier for the first round?
Just gathering opinions, nothing official yet or anything.
Imo, for a
Round one it's pretty tough and maybe even too difficult here and there (keep in mind that all teams together have a avg of 4844pp, which is roughly in the area where you can FC
170 pp* maps easily,
190 pp* maps with maybe some tries and
220 pp* maps with more focus). Iam not quite sure what kind of diffs you guys would want to put for the future rounds. I mean, we're currently at 5.0 - 5.4 Star diff maps. What are we supposed to play in Round 2, 3 etc? Would the Final include 6.5 diff maps? There arent too many good and fitting maps out there.
Stuff like Seisen Spectacle (230 bpm Streams), Move that Body (Hidden clusterfuck) and Magnolia (good luck NOT breaking there as a not-so-pro player) seem too harsh for Round one. Round two, where most of the lower end teams are not in this tournament anymore? Sure, bring something to seperate the lower ends from the high ends.
It'd be nice to have a noticeable difficulty curve. Maybe release an experimental mappool and wait for feedback?
*rough values, depends on the player
