Rank doesn't mean a whole lot in a tournament/multiplayer setting in the first place lol... Other than seedings maybe.

rank means a lot more in the higher stages of the tournament, because the maps are harder
in the early stages, lower ranks are more than capable of fcing the maps with good accuracy. I'd say the rank gap in the finals will be quite clear

Are you a psychic and knew Taiwan was going to be grouped with a team like Austria two months ago?Jetzu wrote:
Not like Taiwan would beat Austria with Score v1... They lost the maps against 3/4 FCs, mangekyou would probably be close (as it was now) but other than that Austria would still win, they are just top tier team in disguise.Xayne wrote:
If you would have told me that USA vs. Taiwan would have been a first round matchup in the knockout stage two months ago, I would have slapped you for stupidity. Crazy how things change. Scorev2 has really impacted some teams this tournament.
It depends a lot on the map pool. Players like Hvick/WWW/Rafis/Axarious/Elysion/etc are capable of playing much much more difficult maps than most of the lower ranking players. It's feasible to pick a map pool such that only these players are even capable of passing the map. I expect lower ranked players to get weeded out as the map pool gets progressively more difficult but also expect extremely under-ranked players like omgforz to stay strong.kuur0 wrote:

You saying "Scorev2 has really impacted some teams this tournament." implied that Taiwan (or USA) would have different standing if OWC used Score v1, I just replied to it saying that Austria would still win with Score v1, if I was wrong in my understanding then I don't understand why you'd say anything about Score v2 in the first place.Xayne wrote:

I recall Blue Zenith in the 2014 finals, not sure about 2013 though.
Yeah they picked Freedom Dive as a warmup and cptnXn, Cookeasy were the only one who could actually play it xD, not too sure about blue zenith though, I think the other warmup was a different mapMakan1 wrote:

After said survey among all participants, we will push hidden v2 to multiplayer again. Far over 90% agreed with going there. (I think it's on CE already)CXu wrote:
