Oh, did you switch already? Common websites reported me that you are actually still on +12/+10 respectively

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

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.

So I guess we'll just spam maprelated issues in here?

Well the OWC from the previous years always got a seperate thread to discuss the mappools so you are wrong

there has been only one for 2014 and I assume that they had reasons to not continue it for the other world cups and this one. Check your facts please

But it's sooooo slow and easy to aim so misses shouldn't be a problem? It's not like you 100% die when having SS
I'd say this can be a good tactical move for some of the teams.

You can still die with an FC, one bad stream will kill you and you can't revive.

ive died everysingle time on the HR picks using score v2 :C

Hopefully they fix drain before v2 goes live. At least with v1 the maps where SS'ing barely keeps up/stays ahead of HP10 aren't overly common. As much as group stages are already going to be acc battles from the looks of things it will be sad to see failures without combo breaking.

why is there a 4* map in hd pool?
MiruHong
Cause fuck you - Sincerely the map pool selectors
Endaris
I know that one, it is pretty hard to read with HD. Rather a technical pick too so I think it was added for a sake of variety. Certainly not as easy as it looks just look at the Top50 and consider the overall accuracy people got with OD7 in mind.
We knew the group stage pool would be relatively easy right?
shortpotato
i don't see what the problem with these maps are because there is a veto/ban option in this tournament

don't assume everyone else is the same as you if you can't pass or something
Yauxo
I thought that having some way of reviving was a given for the maps in the mappool.

While I agree that there have to be some more difficult picks, I dont think that having a non-revivable map in the pool is any good. That just kind of forces one of the teams to either gamble on "man, maybe I wont die this time" or ban it (and thus, giving up a slot that might help them with a planned strategy).

Hello, I have a question about wiki page:
Is there a reason for this information not present on wiki page for this year's cup?

A 4.25 stars map can be as difficult as a 5.25 stars map, it just depends on the mapping style itself.
For example 0108's maps like with a dance number or scarlet rose which are mostly under 5.25 stars are difficult to play or FC, because it requires technical skills.

Just keep in mind that star rating doesn't really mean anything in terms of difficulty for many cases.

Just played the HR pool sv2. You'd have to be garbage not to pass tsubomi or mangekyou. Unless they literally changed something in past day that I'm unaware of sv2 doesn't appear to have anything to do with it.

The discussion is about Clumsy Thoughts only.

Yeah, I agree with that one. Was mostly directing my comment at KevEz tossing the other two in with it. You can get below 90% accuracy with misses and still pass the other two. Clumsy Thoughts is hard enough to pass in sv1. I think its the map and not sv2.

it's 4.08 actually. The only thing this map has for difficulty is its low AR on hd, the map itself is easy compared to the other picks




and I don't see the problem with clumsy thought. Who doesn't like knowing they're dying a slow death as soon as they miss or hit multiple 100s in a row?

ftfy, sorry, could not resist :P

No, but seriously. If its only one map, where is the problem? Ban or ignore it, and you should be fine. In my opinion, its a very strategical pick and adds a little more flavour into the mappool. Just my 2 cents, i could be very far off.

It's less of a "oh, we're better than the others at this, lets pick this so that we win!" but more of a "so, either we ban this and do us and our enemies a favour or hope that noone picks it - because we can fail even if we FC this". Kinda more risky than it's worth.

Or well, maybe youre playing the shit out of the map so that youre confident enough to play and not fail after a few 100s (and hope that the others fail).

So if you're russia you leave it open and if you're anyone else you ban it? ;)
