Introduction
Hello, and welcome to the first edition of osu! : Last Man Standing . This time, Nwolf and I will be taking the role of running the tournament. With our Taiko editions of the World Cup being a moderate success, we hope to bring fun for all of the standard players as well, new and old, with this iteration of osu! : LMS.

For those of you who are just joining us, let us explain what osu! : LMS is. It is a spin-off of the traditional osu! World Cup, with a twist! Rather than being team score versus team score, each team will fight to survive in a 3v3 environment. Each team selects a song and plays normally, but the player who scores the lowest is eliminated, think of it like dodgeball!

We’re very excited and optimistic to see our dreams being realised in the tournament we envisioned would be fun for the community and also ourselves. Every player, every country, beginner or expert, you are all invited! So with that said, we welcome you warmly and with open arms to the osu! : Last Man Standing !

1.9: If less than 3 players attend, you are allowed to choose to play with your amount of players with the appropriate amount of lives that a 3 player team would normally have. You are only allowed to do this one time. Afterwards, you will have 10 minutes to get at least 3 players to play, if you cannot, you must forfeit that life and play handicapped.

7.5: Have Fun! :)

If there are any questions about the rules, please either post in this thread, or contact a Tournament Manager privately!

One More Thing!


There's going to be lots of fun stuff for all of the players to do this tournament!
First, we are going to try to include another place for players to find teammates again like in previous Last Man Standing tournaments.

Second, we will be doing live previews of the pools at the end of our streams, featuring an assortment of guest players!

Third, we will (try to) get interviews with the players after the game from the winning and losing teams to get their thoughts.

Finally, we will make sure to be 100% clear with all of the players. We will communicate with you! We're your friends, so don't be scared of us. :)

Good Luck

Something not exactly mentioned in the post

In case by case basis, I will accept teams. If I can tell your team is low rank, not serious, or something like this (Which I will observe with Nwolf), we may send you a letter saying that you cannot participate.

I hope this isn't disappointing to some, but this is an OWC-Level tournament, with the best of the best players participating. I want everyone to be able to have a chance, but know, some things can prevent you from participating.

I would like everyone to try to keep their country at least semi-monitored (I know you all don't know each other), and by that, I mean, try to keep it to singular teams only. B teams and mixed teams are allowed, when necessary. Again, this will be done on a case-by-case basis. I am warning you now so that you don't get too upset with me later.

Thank you so much for cooperating and I hope we have enough people to participate!

One more note :
If reaction and team-base is high enough, I will raise the team cap and perhaps do some tweaking for more teams in the elimination stage. Really however, this all depends on the amount of teams we get. I hope you understand :)

the player who scores the lowest is eliminated, think of it like dodgeball!
sounds fun :D but if its OWC niveau then i might not be able to participate :/

Cool thing! Ukami's and Acrith's osu!LMS didn't finish unfortunately but I hope this goes well :D
Keada
Ayyy, seems awesome o3o
Musty
so it is basically owc ( in terms of Teams ) but with LMS? so, there might be as an example only a single french team? and it applies for every one except bi-national teams i guess right?
I am a bit confused D:
Accurian
Am I allowed to join with my current rank? One more thing, are multi-regional teams allowed?

Yes Musty, basically, this is OWC with LMS rules. As I posted earlier, it would be better for most peoplw to contact their country mates and make one solid team. If this cannot be avoided, I will take care of it anyways.

If I do reject your team for whatever reason, you will be able to revise your team accordingly or sign up again at a later date. I will do what is right by the players and what will ultimately make people more satisfied, but I cant make any promises at the moment.

We at the LMS Staff have only worked with a smaller community thus far, so please be patient, as we realize standards community is much bigger, and thus, needs to be more carefully organized.

Yeah, they can. Macedonia is quite a small country, although sweden is not, I can allow for something like this because Macedonia is so small. You should probably speak to your top 10 in sweden, however, if they would like to participate before, or if they would like MetoA as well.

Thank you :)

Group Stage pool is done, All I can say is that you guys better start warming up now since this won't be easy.
