I just want a country to win the osu! World Cup for the first time ever. i.e. anybody but South Korea and Japan.

Fortunately, judging by the makeup of their teams, it looks like most of the top South Korea and Japan players have this "been there, done that" attitude and are allowing some other top players a chance to play. We'll see if that comes back to haunt them.

Top notch analysis WOW

I think players in this world cup are more skilled than ever, and can only continue improve to make future world cups even more exciting. It seems every team that is competing now all have really strong players who have the potential to perform really well in the tournament - and maybe force some upsets!

As for the viewers, I feel like this is a great tourney to watch, for experienced players, but also those who are newer or are just watching the twitch stream for the first time (wow they click so fast!). I feel like the new score system does promote a much more exciting viewing experience, and the presence of commentators can only add to the hype (https://www.reddit.com/r/osugame/commen ... ng_system/)

Even though there have been problems in previous world cups I feel like this one has been mostly hassle-free (at least to this point in time), and it's definitely come a long way with increased publicity, player skill and prize pool. Would like to commend tournament management for their efforts in improving the world cup year by year (it seems we're even getting a team video on youtube this year?) and good luck to all teams!

You didnt understand my point. What I meant was that the team is more balanced know in terms of mods. In Germany's roster last year Tom was pretty much the only one who did well on the Hidden picks.
Natteke desu
no Bahrain team this year?

I made a Google Sheets based on the roster of this year's OWC along with their ranking, right here: OWC 2015 Roster by PP
I'll add more clarification on to it later and maybe improvement on it.

Edit: Based on this Google Sheets from last year: OWC 2014 Roster by PP Rankings

Looks good, gives a bit of comparison. Luckily in the end it doesn't come down to just rankings, so looking forward to the group stages!

Just to clarify, I believe you're referring to my roster ranking which averages all of the players of the team. Japan has players that rank as low as 3k, dropping the average of the Japanese teams slightly lower than Greece and Ukraine.

In terms of starting roster, I don't believe I put them higher.
Gigo
Yeah, I was talking about the average of the whole team.

Suggestion
Can someone please add spoilerboxes or split the main wiki page into several subpages pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?
It is god awful to scroll through eternity just to look up a tiny something
And this will get worse as more mappools and tournament results gets added

That OD 10 map is goooood shit, died with a FC 95%. Top HR teams pick this nekomata master map 4 easy win.

I was looking at Aoiyuuki-'s google docs, and rank-wise Canada might make it through group stage. It's a shame I have to miss the game against Poland.

Wont there be any kind of mappool discussion thread this year?

other world cups also had none and tbh I didn't see why they had a seperate thread/people didn't use it the intended way
fartownik
Clumsy Thoughts as a HR is a bad pick. The HP drain without HR is already 7.5, with HR one miss combined with slow pace of the map almost guarantees that you won't revive until the end of the match. This shouldn't really happen and people will be either banning this map or just not picking it since it's really random.
