if big k and hvick didnt make their roster scary enough, Rucker and his stupid high consistency is probably going to be the biggest factor especially on getting to the finals. unless dungeon comes out of left field with the combos i dont even think korea will make it to the finals...

im really excited to see Rucker play again, he was my favorite player last owc with how hard he almost carried his team to 1st, and now that his team doesnt even really NEED to be carried he's just going to be extra horsepower on an engine that was already fixed on victory.
if anybody was the consistent one it was snowwhite, he broke combo only like once before the finals

yeah but you cant deny rucker kept them in it during the finals
at least, if memory serves.

Can't you at least find one "expert" like it happens everywhere? D:
I'll do it, for obvious reasons.

I don't know of any people who can commentate and play well. I hope there's somebody out there.

Wait what Mr.Color won't be commentating?

in the matches I saw, Rucker was the one who was more consistent.

win % is a higher priority though, since the team that has more wins than losses difference is going to be prioritised
But if the matches won and subsequently wins, losses difference is the same, only then is that third rule used. In that case the team with the lower win percentage will be higher ranked.

Also, coming from you, that hurts. Considering that you were the first to respond last year, and you approved of it since you actually read it that time. p/2660641

Cookiezi made a new country just to play in the owc. He'll be playing all 4 player spots alone. It was his plan all along

Why not play and occasionally commentate some of the matches? There's plenty of good players with high English skills that would be suitable for this (you're one of them).

Or you can always invite some native British or American speakers that are skilled, but not participating in the tournament.

think of it this way,
there is a possibility to win from 0 to 12 maps, which is the main focus of the prioritisation
sure they could have the same (maps won - maps loss), but the team with the most maps won should win. Why? Because they had scores closer to winning than the other team.
If the teams were playing BO1 instead of BO7, it would be a different story because that's directly correlated to win%.

you could probably pm loctav for a direct answer, since i'm only speculating

and how did you derive to the conclusion that I approved it? I didn't mention anything about my thought on it and it should have been clearly obvious that was a trash post

We need commentators as energetic as this http://youtu.be/6q83gj8kFco?t=20s
Although, the only thing we would hear would be "COMBO DROP" occasionally.

Loctav, can we get a running status on the teams who have already signed up? We're in the dark here on how much time we have left since 32 spots is really limited for the world.

If you wish to change your roster, send me a PM and resubmit your roster. Anyways, do this only in case someone in your team hops off or refuses to play (that's why you can still change it).

You don't need to save slots or whatever bullshit. There is no "first come, first serve". The most competitive teams registered will be accepted. The teams will be released after registration phase.

Leaving you in the dark is intended.

Because then the tournament would be unbalanced.

why would it be? u guys can always have more groups with the top 32 getting seeded and the rest placed with the top 32 in groups such that the groups arnt unbalanced as a whole... there could be many countries who would want to participate but might not be able to because of the limit... especially bcoz their country's pp is low, or bcoz there might be not be as many players playing the game..

Not the best thing done this year. The freemod is now really good, and the possibility to ban maps is just amazing. This year, strategy will be a must to win

this is the owc, this isnt a tournament where anybody can join and the best go through, this is a tournament where the best can join and the best of the best go through. if your country doesnt have high pp players then you dont belong here.
it's like letting an amature club play in the world cup football.

atl have some qualifiers to select the unseeded ones, even the fifa wc does that... pp isnt always an accurate representation of your skill level

No, it's like letting a lowly-ranked country compete to qualify in world cup football.

Oh wait.

Yes, only the best 32 countries should be in the World Cup, but if significantly more than 32 countries register interest, qualifiers for 17th-xxth should definitely happen.

It's probably too late for this to happen this year, but it's something I'd love to see next year.

Sure, PP isn't accurate. But I am pretty sure a team of 8, all in the top 500, are going to beat a team of rank 5,000+ with ease.

Plus, there are another 3(4) other world cups too, they don't have time to do qualifier tournaments, and other things like that. If you want to be in the OWC, have a team that is good enough to be somewhat competitive in some situations.
