And now we see that Yoshiwara Lament is one of the maps that can rip teams apart, not just by "random misses" but by a big discrepancy in accuracy and/or reading that shows big.
Love how the US team played this out even though I'm crossing my fingers for Box.

Every map in the mappool can be used strategically because one team excels at some specific aspect of the game over the other team. It's nothing new for OWC and it's a part of why we can pick maps in the first place (I mean, if every map tested the same things, why even have picks)

True but as stated by many participating players the maps for group stage are rather easy and it's more about who chokes than anything else. Many maps were very close and there were barely any confidence picks where one team completely dominated a map. Found that very convincing by the USA team.

There was also a patch the night before group stages that's causing a number of players to be dropping frames and they aren't allowed to play on the fallback.

RIP Aus

Well yeah, like, don't choke.

The non-fallback stable version seems to not drop frames for me.

Can you please specify this more and open a tech support thread on the Help board about it? This helps waaaaay more (unless it does exist already)

Welcome to the osu! World Cup 2015 Discussion Thread.
Here you can discuss everything related to the biggest worldwide osu! tournament.

How do I join the Tournament??

Ez for Germany

THAILAND HYPE !!

This informative post will be deleted anyway, just move along

Interesting.

Japan is out of group stage :O
Hong Kong won 1 lost 1, hope that they can beat their final opponent!
Australia is also out as well

Australia did put up a great fight though

Rip Japan

And Hong Kong made it! REJOICE!!!!!!!!!!

Germany and Thailand are so close each of them lost at least one match

I don't know which team to hype for

I am not sure about how the matches are hosted but can we not rely so much on the mp links, if possible send a referee in the room instead and observe the match and take a screenshot in-game, I don't like a match ruined because of "dc"

Second this, referees should be having the scoreboard (on the left hand side and the right hand side) on the whole time and keeping track of if any of the players disconnected.

If the player is still there on the scoreboard after the map ends, while the mp link showed that the player disconnected for whatever reason, then results should still be determined right there since the referee should know who won the map at the end.

p.s. that Hong Kong vs France shenanigans during Bondage Anemonation map IIRC.

Bancho outputs all scores upon map end. Even disconnect-after-map-end players, that sometimes do not show up on the MP link, are shown there and can be calculated properly

Can we get some up-to-date standings on the groups?

And please update the Wiki page, especially with the link to the results page. Some links are really hard to find if you're not on the stream.

proud that sg managed to win 2 songs against netherlands :3

So you are saying Chaoslitz's score didn't count because it didn't "submit"?

forget what I said then

Neat. Thanks.
