Introduction
Hello, and welcome to the Single Player Edition of Taiko World Cup: Last Man Standing. This time, Dainesl(?) and I will be taking the role of running the tournament. With the TWCLMS2 being a nice success we hope to focus on the core aspect of LMS even more this time: You, being the very best.
For those of you who are just joining us, let us explain what TWC: LMS - Single Player Edition is. It is a spin-off of the traditional Taiko: Last Man Standing, with a twist! Rather than being two teams trying to eliminate the other team by scoring better, you are playing alone. And you aren’t going to face a single player only - you will face several of them! Each player 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 the best of the best competing in a new tournament style that shall bring fun to all participants, staff and players! Every player, every country, you are all invited! So with that said, we welcome you warmly and with open arms to the Taiko World Cup: Last Man Standing - Single Player Edition
