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

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 pleaseVnSoul wrote:

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 SSfartownik wrote:
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.
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.KevEz wrote:

A 4.25 stars map can be as difficult as a 5.25 stars map, it just depends on the mapping style itself.a loli wrote:

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.

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.fartownik wrote:

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 picksCherry Blossom wrote:

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.
ftfy, sorry, could not resista loli wrote:
and I don't see the problem with clumsy thought. Who doesn't like knowing they're dying a fast death as soon as they miss or hit multiple 100s in a row?
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.[TaikoTori] wrote:
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.
So if you're russia you leave it open and if you're anyone else you ban it?Yauxo wrote:

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).
Gotta play that roulette mang. But honestly i love sseeing some acc battles, maybe we're going to see multiple FCs... so what? It's a rhythm game after all. (Just waiting for someone to SS that dang HR map).chainpullz wrote:

It's a strategical pick. It's 100% about reading and managing changes of pace. Hidden enforces this specific difficulty further which is why this map becomes hard enough(for HR/nomod/freemod this would be a joke indeed). Maybe I'm leaning out a bit far but I'm very sure that we won't see 8 and probably not even 4 FCs on it when it gets picked and it might even draw bans from teams that consider themselves bad at Hidden as it is the map that attacks weaknesses in reading HD the most due to its style.a loli wrote:

Doesn't even need to be 7*. Just toss save the queen into the map pool. LOLa loli wrote:
Why not add a 7* map to the pool too. I don't see the problem, teams can just ban it if they can't play it!
Having vetos is not an excuse to put gimmick map picks into the pool.
second this, the competition has increased a ton over the span of a year. The group stage map picks are still the same difficulty as last years.chainpullz wrote:
Was hoping the group stage pool difficulty would increase this year to reflect the increase in skill level of players since last year tbh.
Any hidden pick 90% of the time is the same strategy? Remove hidden from OWC?a loli wrote:
Strategic pick or not, a pick that relies on hoping the other team fucks up instead of your own skill is a terrible way to assess the "best team"
