Well played, nevertheless.

Mixed feelings for this group stage.

Really proud of how the first-timers in the team performed, especially MathClass. K i R i K a R u has officially been promoted to the driver's seat of the bus that is the Korean team, and it's both impressive and happy to see a player who's been around forever finally making a name for himself as one of the best players in the world at the biggest stage of the game.

A bit disappointed with my own performance, for me it is fair to say I single-handedly threw away the Germany game with the miss on Bonfire and then the Terekakushi pick. Should have thought better. Overall I missed too many times on no-mod maps than I would have liked, but improvements will be made.

Had forgotten how fun this tournament is. Loving it at the moment.

Welp, I guess that's all for us this year. Pretty impressed that we were at least able to upgrade from being swept 0-4 to every team last year to at least giving Finland a run for their money this year. Hopefully we can come back next year and perform better than we did this year.

Well, that was it for Mexico.

We did well. We gave the best we could under the circumstances. Being our first world cup, the pressure from much better teams on us, our team being generally weak (the weakest in the entire tournament?) and for each of us individually under the pressure of carrying the entire weight of the team on us (well, at least for me, I felt that way) we couldn't expect much more, but I think we still did a good performance. We could have done much better, but we didn't. That's just how things are.

At least I'm happy for playing in the tournament, it was fun, it was a nice experiencie and we're going to come back next year with a much better team. We're going to work hard on that.

Thanks everyone for the games and good luck to every team on your future matches.

our match was simply amazing. Huge props to MathClass he performed really really well! I didn't think we can come back but oh well that freemod pick / your hdhr was really playing into our hands

I just wonder how Korea was "high seed" and Germany "top seed" and our team was marked as "low seed" while Portugal was a "medium seed", I would like know what's the "top seed" on groups like Group C, Group B and Group E.. lmao

well, nothing else to say, I am happy of our performance, we almost won against Germany and played really well, I hope a better organization for the next owc.



Next year I would suggest to use some experienced players to make groups properly.

i'll have to agree on this one. Italy could've easily won against other top seed teams with their performance and certainly didn't deserve 2nd lowest seed, same for Korea and high seed. This was one tough group man, other groups were nothing compared to this, everyone played SO well!

Austria was last year low-seeded and got the 1st place in their group. Can't remember if they were also complaining about being wrong seeded.

Also completely agree with everything that was said here, we got an awesome experience from these matches at least, and it was damn awesome and competitive to play against you guys. :)

Being on the other end of the straw(spectator on twitch) I would like to inquire for someone to attempt and fix fake misses. I know it is "client lag", but there is got to be something someone can do about it.
This one thing is for me at least the most annoying one when watching owc. Hopefully for the next weekends coming, but if it's not possible that quickly, at least for next year. ty

17 solid hours of streaming later

I'm hearing voices in my head

seeing circles all around the room

my head hurts

voice of ephemeral telling me "MARSEEEN YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU BROKE IT AGAIN"

I can't sleep, I'm deprived.

One circle is falling on me, it's trying to crush me!

Is it reality, or just fantasy?

Well then... I hoped for a little bit more luck than that.

I think this would be easily remedied by adding a bit of a delay on spectating matches. Add a 5-10 second delay to give time for the playback to buffer properly. It really is a shame to see a game that I think would have a lot of success as a spectator e-sport suffer from bad presentation.

I can't sympathize for him though:

France vs Poland the revenge

I don't find it particularly disturbing but w/e. If you watched (for example) some Counter-Strike matches you'd see that the players usually tease their opponents in the exact same way. Not like it's not retarded to do that, but it shouldn't be overreacted by banning the player from the entire tournament.

It's not like he wasn't silenced, didn't vandalize the wiki and was on probation, tho
fartownik
Btw, I CAN'T BELIEVE the bracket might AGAIN be almost the same as last year (for us). If we win against France, we have a chance to play against China. If we win against China, we have a chance to play against Japan. It'd be so crazy if it all happened the same.
Garpo
Did they forget to put Taiwan on the bracket? or is Ukraine getting a freebie

But he had amnesty from that, and I believe doing what he did against NL wasn't enough to ban him entirely from the tournament, no matter how stupid it was.

It just me or Germany gets the easier path to finals...
South Korea again gets bad luck and will play finals to the end if they advance.

Netherlands, Austria, UK and Taiwan can all put up a good fight against Germany.

You guys still did pretty well. And in that match you wrote, "Onodera is love"

China vs South Korea damn.
Have to get up early to watch that one.
Luckily the loser of that match isn't eliminated instantly.

I was suggesting this as well.
Zallius said that spectators wouldn't like the delay. My personal opinion is that something like 5-10 seconds isn't a big deal and you don't even need to delay the mp data with a delay that small. The trade-off would be worth it (assuming that a similarly small amount of time would actually fix the issue).

There's an error with the tournament bracket picture.
Even though it says Ukraine is playing against Taiwan, the visual seems to give Ukraine a bye.

Edit: more errors. USA beat UK 4-2, not 4-3. The Canadian and German flags are not showing in two instances.

Maybe, in order to fix these errors in the future, try double checking your work. :) :) :)
