I might have chosen a warm-up map. It will probably be https://osu.ppy.sh/b/82734 Otherwise I will go with Big black, Freedom dive, Can't defeat airman or DefendersXayler wrote:

I mean, as the warm-ups doesn't give any points, what's the point in keeping them secret?
Some people like it, some don't. The thing is, the mappool isn't just only for fun. It can provide some strategies. Players who are comfortable with the old mapping style will have an advantage at this point.elrzulffio wrote:
I can't describe it. It's just not enjoyable, most likely because like most new players I don't like old mapping style. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt you'll find a lot of people who will enjoy this map. Just my opinion of course and it doesn't really matter what I think about the mappool, I'm going to play in the tournament anyway.

Yea, every map last time had their group of players. As you noticed, what someone dislikes someone else may like.elrzulffio wrote:
Oh I completely understand it, the more diverse mappool the better for the competition. I took advantage of it myself last time as I really like Clumsy Thoughts and apparently everyone else hated this map. Just sharing my opinion about that map.
Yeah, I agree, I mostly played From under cover, which is an AR7 HD map, which everyone also hatedelrzulffio wrote:

In about 13h I've most likely updated the OP with mappool and some very minor rule changes.
@Allenwalker88 Welp, uhm this mappool the HR pool is fairly... uhm, "Un-HR-like". Few lower (and I mean REALLY low) AR maps.
HD mainlyXayler wrote:
So has anyone those "special" abilites like doing DT,HR or HD maps? Of course they should be secret, but I wonder if anyone here has already focused on some mod.
I will look forward to play HR.
Good luck everyone anyways, practice the heart mostly, as when you play against your opponent -> the heart beating is the thing what will drop your combo.
I mostly focus on HD, If I can play a song, I can HD it and get the exact same score (Sometimes even better, like I get on Future Son)tbag188 wrote:
Just finished placing the mappool into OP. Make sure you got the RIGHT MAP FROM EVERY SONG!
@Xayler I'm eyeballing the participant list and I can remember that quite a few of the players have played HR in earlier tourneys, can't find a single HD specialist from my earlier tournaments tho :/.
I am a full on HD player, If I can play a map, I can play it as good or even better with HD.Xayler wrote:

Electoz was pretty much on point on what we (or I) thought of when building mappool, NoMod is for consistent players, FCing that shit is ALOT. Maps aren't specially hard but pretty long, while the shortest map from that pool is the hardest (OK Hero might be pretty close but I'd still say it's snowstorm).
HD pool covers as much of HD skills from low AR to "trick-reading" as possible for a pool of this size. HR is just tricky with variety and DT will be an acc-race 90% of time. TB has some weirdish patterns but rly not that hard... falls between hero and t-t-techno IMO.
A well rounded but difficult (?) pool.
That difficulty is hard to read thus not played too much, ppl will fail on it, but once you get a grasp of it, it's not impossible.skilledmine wrote:

Funfact: I wasn't joking when I said we have the hardest map in WT in this pool. Another Funfact: the pool overall is really fking hard compared to earlier ones. Another one: it will get harder overall.JeremTheOuf wrote:

You guys are seeded into pools and every group will have 1 player from each pool. So it's part of both.Xayler wrote:

What Electoz says is true. The American participants were scheduled to play around 6 o'clock GMT last time, which is about 9 to 12 am for Americans.Logicians wrote:
Wait, so if I'm in pst, this will start at 5 am? Count me out
Yea that is correct, and with the current number of participants (5 players x 8 groups) your last match, even if placed in the first group would be anywhere between 2AM to 3AM. If we go to the other extreme (and have matches as LATE as possible) the games would begin somewhere between 19GMT->21GMT being 6AM or 8AM your time.Allenwalker88 wrote:

I didn't find anything wrong in your message, latest group to start their matches (Group F last time) started at around 18:30GMT.Electoz wrote:
From the information I have received, the first match will be started at 13.00 GMT and will go until midnight at latest.
What does this mean? It means that the first match of the tournament will start at 13.00 . But it doesn't mean that you will have your first match EXACTLY on 13.00 . tbag himself will adjust a reasonable schedules with your timezone(s). The workload we(referees and staff) received ourselves covered 11 hours. That should be more than enough for every timezone(s).
By the way tbag, how do you gonna do if participants in the same group have too much time difference? This is the first time I'm reffing in your tournament so I'm just curious.
Anyway, what I said above might not be 100% correct. But I have to say something here just in case that you're thinking of withdrawing from the tourney. So don't be hasty about things.
I'll post the link to docs already tonight or later tomorrow, there are already the refs and base of the schedule.X-Blade wrote:
When we get the two last people in, what would the full schedule look like?
The seeding goes like this. IGZWT points>Rank. And players are placed into 5 Pools (Top Seed/High Seed/Mid Seed/Low Seed/No Seed). Looking at your rank I'd say you fall somewhere around High or Mid seeded pools.Xayler wrote:
Hmm, if I'm rank 86k at the moment, then do I have a high chance of being a seed?
Hmm, it's quite understandable, but this can make things easier for me (if I don't fail), as I don't have those points.tbag188 wrote:

ie. Player A has 100pts and is 120K ranked while Player B has no points and is 80K ranked, will the Player A have higher(or same) seeding as Player B.
The system is in noway perfect, but neither would be just looking at everyones rankings.
