I am really disappointed that Scarlet Rose and Big Black weren't chosen! I am crying as I write this...

And I was just to say "pls don't pick best maps at the very beginning", I was late.
2. I can't see the experimental thingy in this map apart from uncommon tune.
3. it's epic
WHY. Seriously, I don't want to start hating or anything, but I want a SERIOUS explanation why THIS map was chosen.1. It's epic
2. I can't see the experimental thingy in this map apart from uncommon tune.

did you even read my post?
Don't choose maps for being popular please

Since when 50k plays on an insane diff is "popular"? It's quite the contrary. Because of the BPM changes and the slow parts it's unpopular to most but popular to players that can appreciate it.Zarerion wrote:

I'm glad to know most of you guys liked the picks, hope you all can feel the real challenge this year 
The mappool could've been better.
Why in gods name would someone include roze into this pool, that is beyond me

It always can be better, but that's better than nothing, or better than maps that everyone in a match are able to fc which would make it really boring :pShinseinaTenshi wrote:

Also, if you guys don't like Roze just don't pick it, that map is there because is pretty challenging and we wanted to see how you guys will do there, besides the map is pretty decent and fits really good with the other picks in the round.
So maps that go batsh.. halfway through? OkayDarksonic wrote:

Roze is not a good pick since it's a gimmick map, the 230bpm part with AR9 makes players highly vulnerable for misses. I won't be surprised if even top players miss there at random (if it's even picked, which I doubt in the first place).Darksonic wrote:

I hope you will at least think off my notices about the FreeMod bracket. 'better than nothing' is not a very convincing argument of the maps' quality.
Implying I don't appreciate it, lol. I said, the map is pretty awesome, it's just very shitty for a tournament, and I still wonder why anyone would think it would be a good idea to choose for this mappool.Metro wrote:

I wasn't implying anything and I wasn't saying if it fits or not for tournament. You were calling it a popular map and I called you out on it. That's all.Zarerion wrote:

I've read every opinion and complain, and that line I said was not referring to the quality or to something like "Oh yeah these maps were the only ones I found that people could play, so enjoy it or don't even play them, that's how it is.".. just no. As I said before, we wanted to have more challenging and different stuff this time, one map different than the others won't hurt, and I even can bet that map won't be even picked and if it is, I would like to see how people does there, because even if the map is hard and people could miss easily there, we have to agree that it would be fun to watch.fartownik wrote:

About the FreeMod bracket, you surely got a point, but these hard picks will be only for the first round, I mean, I'm thinking about a different mappool for the next round, difficulty and brackets related so you guys don't have to worry about this because the FreeMod ones won't be that hard each round. I have to say that at the end we didn't have too much time to pick, Wishy got abscent one week ago and I had to find/change (In case I find something better than other old pick) the last maps by myself. We were making it since the first day and then we were changing lots of maps on it until some days ago.
So yeah, opinions and complains are always welcome, I want to know what everyone thinks about this, it maybe could help us to think a bit better at the next rounds' picks.
Freemod is broken because of the fact that usually to add a mod is not viable, mods are only useful if the map is a free FC so adding mods could actually help you win. If using at least one mod was mandatory it would be quite interesting but truth is you can just play nomod so there is no real point to using mods.
If we pick some free FC map then, at always, it will be picked just because it's easy and for some reason people tend to think that if they do good on a map (even if it's because it's damn easy) they have high chances of winning.

The problem about Roze is not that it's hard. The problem is that it's in fact very easy except for one single jump part, which is just annoying. I can tell you what happens if someone really picks it.Darksonic wrote:

We will have 8 super nervous players playing, probably SSing the whole map, everyone is waiting for that one part and 6 out of 8 players (assuming it's not Korea vs Japan) will miss there, nope, I don't think that will be fun for the players or viewers.
why do you even choose maps when you don't expect it to be picked.
Not ranting, just giving feedback so future mappools won't have such problems.
@Metro: yeah sorry. It's less popular and more well known among the active community thanks to the timing. That's what I originally meant.
i like roze, i would love to see it get picked just to see who can get through that one part
This is the main idea of it, it's better than a map where all the players are able to fc without efforts, imo.silmarilen wrote:

The problem about Roze is not that it's hard. The problem is that it's in fact very easy except for one single jump part, which is just annoying. I can tell you what happens if someone really picks it.I think the map is equally hard starting from jump part to the ending slowdown. So it's like half of the whole combo.
I'm disappointed that this map is in nomod bracket. It would fit either freemod OR a hr pick in ko stage.
As to other maps, I still find some being easier than the rest, significantly. But maybe it's just player's preference. Overally I think the pool is quite ok.
Jump Around and this TOTAL OBJECTION are pretty boring, but it's again taste.
Higurashi Moratorium it's ok i guess, Jump Arround it's pretty boring but well.
And the rest of the maps are fine, i agree with farto on the free mod bracket tho.

could've used more maps in the pool imo
looks nice though

Every score on Roze in the tournament ever ;(
Otherwise a nice map pool, but this makes it even harder for less capable teams to get past the group stage. All maps are CS4, BPM dispersion is way too small imho and a lot of maps with either high jumps or streams. I guess I do appreciate a few stylistic differences between the maps, but there's just a huge lack of mechanical variety. This is the first group stage, so with the amount of maps there are (seems like it doubles up each year :p) I thought there would be a showing of other ends of the spectrum, but I guess you can't have it all. Also I'm a little disappointed since I've only played 6 maps out of the current pool and I seriously lack time to practice, but I won't go down without a fight! Let's just hope I don't have to work during the weekend.
Got the rant out of the way. Good luck to all contestants nevertheless!
ditto: I request a no-vid map pack

mappool is jumpy as hell... tho i guess is ok for a OWC... group stage? It's more a filter than a mappool imo but w/e.
just realised tie breaker is easier/same difficulty than the no mods. lol

are the videos of the streams going to be uploaded on twitch also? Asking this because the stream of the drawings wasn't recorded when i wanted to watch them, quite disappointed about that.
also, is there going to be a no-vid map pack uploaded?

Well, it was mistake (or, twitch changed from automatic on, to off) because streamers hasn't enabled saving videos, now it should be saved automatically.buny wrote:

Actually that isn't the one we wanted to pick, the other one was harder and fits much better for the first tiebreaker, sadly we had to change it.buny wrote:
