OWC is slowly approaching once again, and maybe it's time we prepare ourselves for it. The registrations are now 2nd to 26th October. The group stage starts 8th November.
I'll be captain again; I'll give it to someone else if enough people disagree with me being it. I need players to form a team, so if you're interested, post in here.
Before you sign up though, you need to know a few things:
You will also most likely be required to add me on Skype before OWC starts so we can have a private group chat to prepare for the tournament. I will ask for it so you don't have to worry about that part.
And that's pretty much it, I think. If you're interested, as I said, post in here. There's still quite a long time until OWC actually starts, and to be clear, it won't be the 8 first who signs up who gets to be in the team. I'll replace people if necessary when better players decide they want to participate.

Before you sign up though, you need to know a few things:
- 1. Just because you're in the team does not necessarily mean that you will actually get to play.
Only 4 players can play at any one point in time, but you're allowed to have 8 players in the team. This is more a safety measure than anything else. If something happens so a player can't show up, there has to be backups to replace said player. - 2. You must show up to every single match in the tournament, even if there's a high chance you won't be playing it.
This is so we actually do have backups and don't have to sit and look like idiots when someone is missing. I've already had enough of stupid crap from last year's tournament, and I'd rather not experience it again. - 3. No delaying matches at all, especially not in the group stage.
If there's a match you don't want to play, you have to specifically tell me so ahead of time. No leaving multiplayer lobbies if I don't tell you it's ok, no telling me "I don't want to play." when I'm telling you to join, etc. Those who organize the tournament are on a very tight schedule, especially when it's group stage. If we delay even just a second, we are not doing what we're supposed to and I will get shit for it. - 4. Consistency and being able to play NoMod are the most important aspects of playing in a tournament.
The majority of the maps in the mappool are NoMod. If you feel like you're not that great at NoMod, then reconsider if you think it's a good idea to sign up. But remember, just because YOU think you're bad a NoMod because you're better at all the other mods, or something along those lines, doesn't necessarily mean that you're actually bad at it compared to other people.
Consistency is also super important. It's all about holding a combo in tournaments. If you get 99.99% with a miss, you will lose against someone who gets 93% accuracy and gets an FC. I need players who rarely miss. - 5. The tournament is streamed in front of thousands of people.
Yeah, that's a lot of people. Do you suffer from stage fright? You can't handle when a bunch of people look at you when playing and they cheer you on? Then this is definitely not for you. If it affects your performance to a point where you become worthless at the game, then you should not sign up for this.
