mmmmhnah. Unless you have like 15 341h silences in a row or being a gigantic dick all over the places, that doesn't matter. That doesn't mean that you shall head out and receive more silences. This is my personal stance on this. A singular silence doesn't matter. Albeit being a known troublemaker might be a different story, but I have never seen a case so far that were refused to participate for a handful of average silences.plaatinum wrote:
Note that you can only participate if you are of a osu! global ranking of #5000 or higher and did not violate the osu! community rules in the past 12 months.Just wanna clarify, a few random silences for spamming or inappropriate conversation or whatever doesn't bar you from entering the competition right?

Just want to make sure.
I don't know if this has been brought up, but can we potentially have 40 teams (5 in each of the 8 groups for the group stage) for OWC 2016?
I don't see this as a factor at all though.Minifrij wrote:
In that case, I apologize for including you in that comment. I should have done some checks before saying that. However, the point still stands for ztrot and deadbeat.Tasha wrote:
I've played in three different world cups for taiko. We placed 4th in 2013, were disqualified due to absent players in 2014 in bracket stage, and ended 7/8th in 2015. I am FULLY aware of the stress players are under in a world cup match. Are you?
What does this bring to the commentating table? I think people are discussing the wrong points here. The difference between feeling the pressure and just knowing that there's pressure on players is negligible and can be ignored in terms of a commentating stand-point. What are you supposed to say? "Wow, look at these players, the pressure is immense because I know about it."? It's not even worth a debate, you can at most mention that there's pressure, but even that much is obvious by the viewer.
The only thing I can see where experience can help is the thought process of what maps to pick, but even that is something you can figure out yourself without any experience by being able to estimate and quantify a players skill from the current performance and previous performances/general history and player type.
But I find that having commentators from different regions would help out the schedule, that'd be a big plus if it weren't for loctav's argument of reliability which I completely understand as it has happened a few too many times in other tournaments imo.
loliforz nailed it.

This year's groups will be one fierce battleground :3 I can't wait to see.
By the way, just throwing a thought in even though it won't change anything(I'm sure someone questioned this before).
The bracket-thing encourages versatility and consistency throughout all kinds of gameplay-difficulties.
While I can see why a FL-bracket would be lame I think an EZ-Pool would be interesting as this Game-Mod is indeed based on player skill and yields replicable results for the same player without having to practice the map before a lot.

Forget EZ, mate. Despite the fact that low AR is a challenge, the accuracy window increases, which makes the low AR challenge moot.
So we will get notification about getting in or not at the last day ? :- )

Teams to watch out for (a lot of ifs) (These are the Juggernauts)
Poland: Poland has always shown strong with their performance in OWC, last years team was good to get to 2nd place. WWW was most obviously their star player. This year, IF Rafis joins team Poland, Poland will be a force to be reckoned with. Rafis has proved this year that he is one of the best players in osu!standard in 2015. Him combined with WWW is a dream to some polska fans. The other considerations for the other 2 main slots is AmaiHachimitsu (who performed very well last year) and fartonwik. The other players that can sub in will probably be listless and Wilchq. With this team, Poland could finally take a world cup.
Japan: Japan has proved to never fail with their amount of skill. Last year they took 1st place against Poland. This year it's going to be somewhat different for Japan. The original team (Guy, Mercurius, rrtyui, Potofu, Poruteri, Sinch, and serea) is probably going to have to exclude and make some changes. Depending on the new map pool, which I hope is going to be harder, some might not be as skilled as some newcomers to play these maps. In my honest opinion, Recia will be a BIG pick for Japan, he's a very consistent player that can do a LOT of HDHR plays. My next pick for Japan would be moca. moca is a very consistent nomod player, he's very good for nomod consistency and it fits in with the new scoring system that favors accuracy more than combo. My next 2 picks will obviously be Mercurius and Guy, they are the cornerstone of the Japan team and can always be the star player or the backup to the star player, they never seem to fail Japan. IF rrtyui decides he wants to play in the OWC BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY the competition will be amazing. rrtyui has proven time and time again that he is one of the best players in osu!standard, amazing consistency, and can do anything. If rrtyui is not going to be in the OWC, then serea and Potofu are going to be my picks.
Teams that are questionable:
Germany: There is an uprising of new players in Germany, but I don't think they have what it takes to really go against the skilled players, Cookeasy and Dustice are your best bets.
Taiwan: Taiwan has proven to be skilled, but hvick is the only amazing player compared to the top players, I don't think Taiwan won't get past Round of 8 at most.
UK: UK has some amazing players, Crai, Doomsday, and Tasty Beverage, and possibly jesus1412 are what represent the UK. I've seen Doomsday prove that he is a player to watch out for this year but the team as a whole will probably get out of group stages, but in terms of beating the titans, not a chance.
South Korea: This will probably piss a lot of people off, but South Korea will probably not get too far in Knockout Rounds. Angelism and Hakurei Reimu haven't been on top of everything lately, plus without My Aim Sucks and sayonara-bye
. South Korea has kind of lost it.
Edit: There's so many countries that this post would be too long.

Japan doesnt look too strong tbh. Guy,Recia and zeluar said that they wont play(confirmed in their ask,fm) and since rrtyui wont play either Japan star players are already pretty much gone.osuskrub wrote:

And I found it kinda hilarious what you wrote about Taiwan. Last OWC they almost beat Korea in the semifinals(lost the tiebreaker) and nearly placed 4th place WITHOUT Rucker and hvick and now imagine how strong they are with them(Rucker is still pretty much as consistent as hvick which was shown in other tournaments) I would confidently say that Taiwan will make it to the finals, probably against Poland.
If you want to enable score v2 for the tournament, please either disable the slider accuracy hit window or enable it for non-supporter use so we can practice it. Its a huge change coming into the tournament and people want to be fully prepared for it.
If Small K/Rucker/SnowWhite play Taiwan is the #1 favorite for this owc imo. At least considering that Japan got really weaker. Unless new players to the owc work out and they might, lots of good players in Japan, but they won't be the consistency gods like they used to be though.
I forgot where I read it but peppy wants to push score v2 to beta asap so I think you can expect it on beta soon.plaatinum wrote:

Sliders are pretty rough for scorev2, is this subject to change or are tournament managers adamant on this? It seems a bit weird to change gameplay just before a tournament, and most maps are mapped without slider accuracy in mind (kick sliders are insane to play)

There shouldn't be so many kickslider populated maps in the first place that are spammed

I really can see USA take the top3 finish this year, iirc AmaiHachimitsu said he won't play so that's a blow to us.
Japan without Recia, Guy and zeluaR is doomed to fall off the podium and Chinese players look really strong lately (looking at you, team SPD).
I'm calling the top 3 being Poland, China and USA this year. Sorry Korea, but you're not good enough in 2015.
