I don't see how having a discussion where both sides lay open their arguments is "ridiculous". Furthermore I think, that generalizing every person that expresses his or her opinion like that can be perceived as insulting for those who actually care and invest effort to try to make their point clear.

I don't know why people are even mentioning SSing maps as a point to support their argument. The skill cap for these maps are so low that even the bottom half of the teams that play on them can have the same consistency as the top teams which is where RNG results come in. Also is why putting a map in the finals where some players in the match would even have trouble passing is just inappropriate. You would be putting a map with such a ridiculous difficulty into the mappool where no players can consistently perform on it (inverse case to what this group mappool is currently) and you end up with some more RNG results.

I think you misunderstood this part, I was referring to the fact that in all previous OWCs, people have not performed on a level that their records/solo play suggests. This is bound to be the same for this year's OWC, and it's not a matter of breaking the habit.

What I meant was not putting maps which nobody can perform consistently on but maps on which only the very very best can perform consistently on. Difficulties in the ballpark of Chipscape, Big Black and Airman come to my mind. Freedom dive would in all likelihood already be too much as would be Rainbow Dash likes Girls. (I'm just calling examples, feel free to imagine equivalent AR10.3 DT maps or HR ones.)

If you do it like that then one person will win against the other team (ex. rrtyui on freedom dive) and I don't think it's a good idea for a team tournament

Overall I think the maps are great . However, as a viewer, I really want to say that the maps are way too easy. Yes, you can say constancy is a skill, but the difficulty on these maps are BELOW SOMETHING THAT NEEDS CONSTANCY. Like nevereverland. it's OD7. I cant really imagine anyone above rank 500 to get even 1x100 on it because THE OD IS THAT LOW AND THE SONG DOESN'T HAVE CONTENT THAT IS HARD TO ACC (well unless things unfortunate happens).

I wouldn't be surprise if some top seeded team lose because they can't do spinner. Yes I am serious about this because even a noob like myself can 1pc fc these maps easily.

Hopefully the map selectors will at get at least 1 or 2 harder maps for this mappool and the difficulty curve they promised will be there.

So guys, while BD was doing his calculations about star rating, I've done my own research about this year's and previous year's group stage mappool.

I hope this can illuminate some issues about this year's picks.

In almost every single map there's a loli
in Roze she is buried

So that's how they're selecting maps.

Music Revolver was a HR pick last year in best of 16, why is it a HD pick this year? You'd assume the general skill level has risen, not fallen...
