Ok, thanks for the explanation. So, do you think the result would have been different if Small K had played? Unfortunately I was not home, so I couldn't watch the match (as well as most of the other matches today).chainpullz wrote:
spoilers I guessOmgforz and Alumetorz are two of the most consistent players in the world when it comes to tournaments. That's not even mentioning the other top players that round out Austria's roster. When Omgforz is your lowest ranked player that's a good indication that your team is deserving of a top seed.
Taiwan on the other hand struggles to field even 4 consistent players especially with Small K not even competing in today's match against Austria. Even if its the case that Hvick was the most skilled player in that match, tournaments aren't won off sheer skill alone. With the difficulty of the map pool consistency is the only factor that really matters and having Hvick on your team gives you no more advantage than having Omgforz on your team in that department.
I'm not saying "clearly Austria was going to 4-0" but I certainly expected an Austria win with above 50% certainty. It was more of a "how many maps will it take for Austria to pull ahead?" question to me.

There was also a patch the night before group stages that's causing a number of players to be dropping frames and they aren't allowed to play on the fallback.Endaris wrote:
True but as stated by many participating players the maps for group stage are rather easy and it's more about who chokes than anything else. Many maps were very close and there were barely any confidence picks where one team completely dominated a map. Found that very convincing by the USA team.
Well yeah, like, don't choke.Endaris wrote:

The non-fallback stable version seems to not drop frames for me.chainpullz wrote:

Welcome to the osu! World Cup 2015 Discussion Thread.
Here you can discuss everything related to the biggest worldwide osu! tournament.
Second this, referees should be having the scoreboard (on the left hand side and the right hand side) on the whole time and keeping track of if any of the players disconnected.Karuta- wrote:
Germany and Thailand are so close each of them lost at least one match
I don't know which team to hype for
I am not sure about how the matches are hosted but can we not rely too much on the mp links, if possible send a referee in the room instead and observe the match and take a screenshot in-game, I don't like a match ruined because of "dc"
So you are saying Chaoslitz's score didn't count because it didn't "submit"?Loctav wrote:
Bancho outputs all scores upon map end. Even disconnect-after-map-end players, that sometimes do not show up on the MP link, are shown there and can be calculated properly

And please update the Wiki page, especially with the link to the results page. Some links are really hard to find if you're not on the stream.
