Hej mennesker! OWC approaches!
Denmark hasn't had an OWC team the past few years - and that is something we're going to change this year. We feel that the competition has had a distinct lack of RØDE PØLSER, which sadly has kept the competition from being all it truly could be.
Ahem.
In all seriousness, a few of us have been talking about forming a team, and we will need your support! The captain will be TimG, although I will help manage potential tryouts and various other related things.
Yes, this means that you can tryout for the team if you feel ready for the challenge - Check the bottom of this post for more info - but remember! OWC is a big tournament, and there are many things to keep in mind:

And, last but not least, there must be absolutely no sore loser behaviour. Absolutely none. It's a competition, you must have a fitting attitude for the situation.
Good luck to those of you wanting to tryout, and let's see all of your support for our final team!

- 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.
And, last but not least, there must be absolutely no sore loser behaviour. Absolutely none. It's a competition, you must have a fitting attitude for the situation.
Good luck to those of you wanting to tryout, and let's see all of your support for our final team!
The tryouts
TRYOUT DETAILS AND MAPPOOL
Format: Mayoi Hachikuji and I will divide you into two teams (due to there being too many of you to do this all at once). Don't worry, the team we put you in won't matter as we will look at performances individually, it's merely because there's only so much space in a multi lobby.
You will be invited to a lobby where you will play the 11 maps of the mappool along with about 8-ish others at the same time. Mayoi and I will both also be in the lobby - he has told me he plans to stream the event, so be prepared for that.
I highly recommend that you save your replays after each map and send it to me. This way, I can have a look at your plays one by one in order to better judge you. While Mayoi and I would love to do this in a way that would allow us to spec you, that would simply take too much time.
Again, thanks for the amount of attention this post has gotten, I would never have expected the tryouts to be necessary due to the size of our little country.
Failing: Yes. These maps are hard. Some of these are harder than the group stage maps are likely to be.
As a result, failing does not disqualify you.
