Rules
Tournament Format
1. The osu! Malaysia Tournament is a 1v1 tournament with 32 participants.
2. The matches from Week 1 to Week 3 will be played in a Best-of-7 format. (First to get 4 points win.)
3. The matches from Week 4 to Week 7 will be played in a Best-of-9 format. (First to get 5 points win.)
4. The matches in Week 8 will be played in a Best-of-11 format. (First to get 6 points win)
5. The tournament starts off with a group stage, where the top 2 participants of each group advance to the Bracket Stage, which is a double-elimination bracket. (A player has to lose twice before he/she is out of the tournament)
6. The tournament uses a veto format, where each player has to ban two beatmaps of his choice from the map pool.
7. This tournament uses the normal score system and is played in head-to-head mode.

Tournament Rules
1. The beatmaps for each round will be announced by the beatmap selector in advance one week before the matches. Once it has been announced, only these beatmaps can be used for the respective matches excluding warm-up maps.
2. One beatmap will be given as tiebreaker map. This beatmap will be played when the score is tied at 3-3 in a Best of 7, 4-4 in a Best of 9 and 5-5 in a Best of 11. It will be played under FreeMod setting.
3. Players who failed at the end of the map will have their score nullified. However, if the player revives before the map ends his score is counted as if he passed the map. If both players fail at the end of the map, the player with the higher fail score will be considered to have won.
4. If the beatmap ends in a draw, no points are added to any side and the beatmap is played again.
5. If a player disconnects, the referee will make the decision whether to award the point to the opponent or not depending on the score difference. There can only be one rematch offered, subsequent disconnects will give the point to the opponent.
6. If both players disconnect, it is treated as a draw. (See rule 4)
7. Beatmaps cannot be picked more than once in the same match.
8. Lag is not a valid reason to nullify a beatmap.
9. If a player does not turn up for the match in the group stage, the opponent who turned up will win automatically.
10. If both players do not turn up for the match, both of them forfeit their match and their opponent in the next round will get a bye.
11. Players who do not turn up for their match without prior notice will be permanently banned from all future tournaments which I organise.
12. Referees are not allowed to judge their own matches.
13. Unexpected incidents are handled by the referee.

Match Instructions
1. A referee will create a multiplayer room 10 minutes before the scheduled time. Both players must be online and ready. If a player is not online when the room is created, the referee will wait until 10 minutes past the scheduled start time. After that, the player who turns up will win by default.
2. As soon as both players enter the room, each player is free to select a warm-up beatmap.
3. The warm-up beatmap must be under 5 minutes. The referee has the right to reject a warm-up beatmap that is deemed to be inappropriate.
4. After warm-up, both players can ban two beatmaps each from the mappool. Both bans must be used, and the same beatmap cannot be banned twice, and the tiebreaker cannot be banned.
5. After the ban phase, beatmap selection will alternate between each player selecting a beatmap out of the map pool. Banned beatmaps and the tiebreaker beatmap cannot be selected. A single beatmap cannot be picked twice.
6. To determine which player ban and picks first, both players must use "!roll" once in #multiplayer. The player with the higher points will go first in both picks and bans.
7. Players should have all the maps in the map pool for the match. If the player does not have a map, he has to download it within 3 minutes or he will automatically lose the point.
8. Unexpected incidents are handled by the referee.

Match Scheduling
1. The match schedule will be determined by the tournament administration. All matches scheduled by the tournament management are held on the weekends.
2. If a player cannot make it at the time of the match, the player has to take the initiative to contact his opponent to rearrange the time or day of the match.
3. The day of the match can only be changed from the Thursday before the scheduled match weekend to the Wednesday after the scheduled match weekend.
4. Rule 3 does not apply to Week 1 and 3 matches, where all matches can be rescheduled as long as it is within Week 1 - Wednesday of Week 3.
5. If your match time has changed, please send a PM to the tournament administration. Both players should PM the change in time.
6. If the other player cannot make it on any time but the scheduled time, there will be no change in the match schedule.
7. If there is clear evidence that the other player ignores your request (not reject) and refuses to communicate, that player will be disqualified.

Mappool Statistic + Mappool Review


I will give some comment about some of the maps in the mappool and make a statistic about the players' bans and picks. Enjoy :D

Round 2 Mappool Statistic


  • Round 3 Mappool Review



    NoMod Average: 5.47
    HardRock Average: 5.22
    DoubleTime Average: 5.51
    Hidden Average: 4.96
    TieBreaker Difficulty: 5.49
    Mappool Average: 5.33


    Here are some maps that I think are quite tricky or hard:
  1. Studio EIM - Crescent Moon Island Boss Theme ([ -Scarlet- ]'s Extra) by [ -Scarlet- ] Difficulty 5.57 NoMod
    A noob Malaysian mapper. CS5 map. This map has pretty tricky stream pattern, small circles also increase the difficulty aiming those repetitive jumps.

  2. Kano - Six trillion years and overnight story (OverNight) by StarForYou Difficulty 5.66 NoMod
    A very tricky map, has a lot of kick sliders, if you are not paying attention you might miss all the notes there. A VERY NICE MAP IN 2015 PLEASE VOTE THIS KAPPA

  3. Hito Ookami - Decisive Battle! Ho-Oh! (Lvl 100) by [Takuya] Difficulty 4.85 HardRock
    First CS6.5 in this tourney, just be an aim expert and you can easily fc this. Two very tricky 1/3 space stream. Be careful there is a part that kills your HP, if you don’t have full HP when you reach that part, you might fail the map (but this doesn’t matter because you have enough time to revive).

  4. Star Driver - 5 Centimeters Per Second (Right Back) by Come[Back]Home Difficulty 5.54 DoubleTime
    First AR10 (AR8.5 DT) DoubleTime map. Not very hard actually, you got speed, you can play, pretty simple.

  5. Rise Against - The Eco-Terrorist In Me (Expert) by BOUYAAA Difficulty 5.14 Hidden
    Tricky map, all the alternating patterns, can easily break combo.

  6. DJ SHARPNEL - FAKE PROMISE (TRUE) by Urushi38 Difficulty 5.49 Tiebreaker
    Very straightforward map, some part you have to burst, overall very jumpy map. A deathstream at the end of the map, possible to see a fail there?


    I guess goreshit - o'er the flood (The Flood Beneath) HD pick and Hito Ookami - Decisive Battle! Ho-Oh! (Lvl 100) HR pick will be the most banned maps.

    AKINO with bless4 - EXTRA MAGIC HOUR (Extra) NM pick and Kano - Six trillion years and overnight story (OverNight) NM pick will be the most played maps.


Round 2 Mappool Review

Round 2 Mappool Review



NoMod Average: 5.24
HardRock Average: 5.19
DoubleTime Average: 5.07
Hidden Average: 4.88
TieBreaker Difficulty: 5.10
Mappool Average: 5.10


Here are some maps that I think are quite tricky or hard:
  1. Kola Kid - can't hide your love (Can't) by Kert Difficulty 5.05 NoMod
    This map has a lot of hidden repeat sliders which stack behind another repeat sliders, makes this map a lot harder to play.
  2. Shiena Nishizawa - FUBUKI (Blizzard) by Rizia Difficulty 5.29 NoMod
    The trickiest part is at the chorus, which you might have to alternate or single tap the 1/6 spacing notes. We might see a lot of players break here.

  3. ryo (supercell) - ODDS&ENDS (Insane) by Colin Hou Difficulty 5.02 HardRock
    Another 5min HardRock map, this map has a lot of hidden jump notes and you might easily misread it. There is a very calm and slow part where all the notes are NC so you can’t see where the next note will appear and easily fail the map because of low accuracy.

  4. Tristam - Till it's Over (BD's Hard) by [Luanny] Difficulty 4.90 DoubleTime
    Alternating DoubleTime map. You have to alternate the whole map because the song bpm is very high unless you are very confident with you single tap speed. The slider tick 2 also makes the map easier to break.

  5. M2U - Quo Vadis (Extreme) by buhei Difficulty 4.65 Hidden
    Difficulty 4.65, but probably the hardest map from the mappool. This map has a lot of 1/6 stream and with the Hidden mod on, you hardly recognize which one is 1/6 stream and which one is 1/4 stream. Only player very confident with his reading skill might choose this map. Extremely tricky map.

  6. kors k - Playing With Fire (Sota Fujimori Remix) (420) by RLC Difficulty 5.10 Tiebreaker
    This is an interesting map. Unlike the previous tiebreaker, this one is totally different style of map. Duplet everywhere, and some patterns are kinda tricky.


    I guess M2U - Quo Vadis (Extreme) HD pick and Memme - BSPower Explosion (Another) HR pick will be the most banned maps. The first one is extremely tricky and the second is very easy to fail and really hard to revive.

    syatten remixed celas - Bird Sprite -Awakening of Light- (Another) NM pick and ChouCho - Niji no Asa ni (Insane) DT pick will be the most played maps. Both of them are very straightforward without any tricky pattern.

    NoMod Average: 5.04
    HardRock Average: 4.80
    DoubleTime Average: 5.13
    Hidden Average: 4.79
    TieBreaker Difficulty: 5.26
    Mappool Average: 5.00


    Here are some maps that i think are quite tricky or hard:
  1. mafumafu - Yuugure Semi Nikki (Yuugure) by L_P Difficulty 5.11 NoMod
    Malaysian mapper. This map contains a lot of hidden spaced triplet at the chorus part, you can easily get caught and miss. I barely believe people can FC this map in the tournament.

  2. TOTTO - Onigami (Expert) by Kloyd Difficulty 4.70 NoMod
    This map is totally underrated. CS5 making this map harder to aim. I can’t say this map is harder than other map in the NoMod bracket but I guess player will easily random break on this map.

  3. EGOIST - The Everlasting Guilty Crown (Heart) by captin1 Difficulty 4.63 HardRock
    This map is easy. YES EASY! But because of the song length, it turns out to be the trickiest one. Low BPM and long song length in HR actually quite challenging for newbie HR players.

  4. KOKIA - Ningen tte Sonna Mono ne (Humanity) by Lizsig Difficulty 5.07 DoubleTime
    CS5 DT. You can either choose to alternate or single tap the whole map. The challenging part is at the chorus, where you have to single tap or alternate 8 notes in a row.

  5. kzlivetune ft. yanaginagi - empty (Insane) by Xivaxi Difficulty 4.91 Hidden
    Well this map is so calm, but the mapper try to make the rhythm trickier. Listen carefully to the music and follow the rhythm. The last part of the map is the hardest, so I guess this will be the most banned map for this round.

  6. FELT - Puppet in the Dark (Out Of Place ARTifactS) by Mackenzie Difficulty 5.26 Tiebreaker
    Surprisingly this map is actually easier than every map in NoMod bracket in my opinion. Just be consistent and win the game :D


    Well the mappool has more variation now, two CS5 maps (not included HR), high slider velocity map and duplet map.

    I guess kzlivetune ft. yanaginagi - empty (Insane) HD pick and EGOIST - The Everlasting Guilty Crown (Heart) HR pick will be the most banned maps. One you need to have good eyes and ears to play, one you need to have good consistency.

    Reol - Asymmetry (Guycat's Extra) NM pick and u's - Snow halation (TV Size) (Insane) HD pick will be the most played maps. The first one is pretty straightforward map like strangeatractor map last mappool, which turns out to be one of the popular pick map. The second one is very easy in Hidden bracket, so probably this map will be one of the strategy pick against non-HD players since they will probably ban the other 2 HD maps.

    NoMod Average: 4.86
    HardRock Average: 4.53
    DoubleTime Average: 4.91
    Hidden Average: 4.58
    TieBreaker Difficulty: 5.06
    Mappool Average: 4.79


    Here are some maps that i think are quite tricky or hard:
  1. kors k - Insane Techniques (Azer's Extra) by Azer Difficulty 4.57 NoMod
    This map is extremely tricky at the end, you have to be able to consistently play spaced streams and also jumps, or else you will easily miss or slider break. Alternating is needed in this map unless you are speedy enough to single tap without missing the sliders.

  2. Seiryu - Ultramarine (Another) by RLC Difficulty 4.92 NoMod
    RLC's map, as always very straightforward map, but a lot of patterns can make you easily misread and miss.

  3. sana - Kokuhaku Yokou Renshuu (Milan-'s Insane) by Milan- Difficulty 4.51 HardRock
    This map isn't the hardest map in HR pool, but the spaced streams and sudden jumps are quite tricky for getting good accuracy.

  4. Train - 50 Ways to Say Goodbye (Insane) by mancusojuanmattos Difficulty 5.13 DoubleTime
    Probably the hardest map in the current mappool. This map is extremely fast, and very jumpy, a very nice choice for speed players.

  5. Yousei Teikoku - Torikago (yami) by Furawa Difficulty 4.28 Hidden
    Oh no, Hidden in this kind of map. Please increase your game volume so that you will be able to hear the rhythm accurately. Beware of the SV changes, they might confuse you especially in Hidden. AND THIS MAP IS OD8!!!!!

  6. Shimotsuki Haruka - Re:Call (Re:Call) by -Nanaka- Difficulty 5.06 Tiebreaker
    To be honest, this map is too easy for Tiebreaker. At the beginning of the map, it was too easy and I started to worry about the later part because this map's difficulty is kinda high. As expected, at the last part, the map became harder and you have to be very consistent to hit all the jumps. I think that part will determine who the winner is and maybe a comeback will also be possible.


    Overall there is a lot of variety in this mappool. Alternating, streams, jumps, rhythmic.

    I guess Yousei Teikoku - Torikago (yami) HD pick and kors k - Insane Techniques (Azer's Extra) NM pick will be the most banned maps because these 2 maps are very tricky compared to other maps.

    senya - Hitorishizuka (Satellite) DT pick and Zektbach - L'avide (Another) HR pick will be the most played maps. These 2 maps are pretty easy and there is a high chance we will see an accuracy fight.

Good luck to all the players!!!
SolarFox
week 1 mappool thoughts : everyone ban Kagerou Days NM and L'avide HR
Insane Techniques arent bad, high win rate
Re:Call is a nice song (some says this map is too easy, I'm not too sure since I have problems with keeping combo ( or I'm just bad) )
Torikago = hidden squares
strangeatractor = consistency test ( + sudden huge jumps after second chorus)
Nichijou Decoration + Hitorishizuka = common DT maps
english song DT = jumps
maihime + vortex arc = nasty end streams

overall : nicely done, good variety

For anyone wondering what happened to hikaruboyz, it appears that his account has been restricted. I am now contacting the reserves to see if they can take his spot. It should not be an issue with the drawings as he was unseeded and so will the reserves.

9/12/2015 - It has been confirmed that Viores will take his place.
TequilaWolf
groupstage mappool thoughts: excellent job. very good variety, no retarded picks. HR is good, insane techniques/BMS is a bit on the harder side, torikago/wkyik's insane is a little hard, english song DT is a bit hard, but all is good. shimotsuki haruka is really nice. well done naz :) :)

Thoughts on RO16 mappool:

Nomod: Generally nomod bracket is quite tricky.
Onigami: CS5 is not the main problem here, the bigger problem comes when the map requires a lot of alternating and good finger control since it's BPM160.
COME BACK TO MY HEART: More like take away my heart. This map is also very tricky as it has a lot of complex beats and you need to be able to read well to play it.
Aspirin: There's a part which consists a lot of alternating, pretty tricky.
Yuugure Semi Nikki: Kinda tricky to sightread because alternating at some parts, but otherwise okay.
Asymmetry: I guess this was a good choice also, prefer this difficulty from the others (where I can't even get how the rhythm works).
Usatei: LOL. TROLL MAP. Spaced (srsly) streams and ridiculously high sv at the end.

HR: Pretty standard mappool.
Guilty Crown: Real test of consistency. 5 minutes of AR10 really can set apart those who are genuinely strong in HR and those who are just able to react in time.
Idol Syoukougun: Nothing much to say about this map except the BPM might take a little getting used to.
HEAVENLY MOON: My personal favourite from the mappool. If you can stream well with HR, this map is a very good pick.

DT: Slightly tricky.
KOKIA: lel. Not very difficult since it's mostly singletaps, but just have to make sure you catch the 2 beat stacks and the surprise stream.
Harmony: A lot of 1/4 sliders. Easy to slider break if you're not careful.
Zedd: Nice EDM choice, but beware of the 1/6 beats in the song.

HD: lol
Thieves Night Trick: Alternate map. Personal favourite. If you can do doubles and 4plets well this map is a good choice.
Snow halation: lel tv size, probably easiest song in the bracket.
empty: pretty tricky map.
TB: 6 minutes xd
chickeneric
For some reason I'm glad I did not make it out of group stage, the RO16 mappool raped me so hard lel

EDIT: No one's gonna mention that yanaginagi and senya/Mayumi Morinaga appeared in two mappools in a row now?

Thoughts on some of the Ro16 Mappool maps:

RE:Utasei
Well, this might seem like a troll map at first, but I believe this is a good test on how well you can do on spaced streams(and just streams in general), ar9 jumps as well as high SVs at the end of the map. I can see players potentially picking or banning this map, depending on whether they choose to specialize in this or not.

Asymmetry
Definitely a very good map to be picked. Tests on fair amounts of consistency, accuracy, reading and rhythm in general.

Thieves Night Trick
Don't snap in this map. Don't snap or you will have a hard time. Follow the rhythm and make your cursor movement as smooth as possible.
TIP: Hit Lighting helps a lot.

Heavenly Moon
So far (imo) the easiest map(tied with I want you to know) in this mappool. I dunno about the DT maps, but this is quite easy for a Ro16 (as long as you can stream od10).

Everlasting Guilty Crown
Consistency battle and combo battle with HR on a 5min map. 's gonna be hell if you don't know how to HR and would be better off banning it instead of training for it.

I Want You to Know
Easy FC for those consistent players. LET'S GO ACC BATTLE

Aspirin
Tricky alternates just like Jeffrey said, and beware of chokes.


That's it for now.

Firstly, why HEAVENLY MOON is on HR orz
I wish it's on HD ;w; It makes me wanna ban it orz

Maps are all good (Damn usatei lol) but the Thieves Night Trick would be a bit tricky for HD, and those sliders at starting are quite easy to have sliderbreaks D:

And the tie breaker ;w; 6 minutes... it's a bit long lol

Others are okay... so far? xD

We have just concluded the group stage of OMT! Here are the final standings of all groups! Congratulations to those who advanced to the bracket stage. Bracket draws will be held on twitch.tv/osumalaysia at 10:00pm tomorrow!

Full overview: http://challonge.com/omt1516/groups

Group A

Champion: TequilaWolf, with 3 wins and a 12-1 record
Runner-Up: Karuta-, with 2 wins and a 9-5 record

Thoughts: This group went exactly as I expected, TequilaWolf putting up a solid performance as one of the tournament favourites. Karuta- would probably be seen as the middle of the pack among the runner-ups, capable of giving other champions a run for their money. This is the perfect example of a group where all four seeds are clearly separated and performed up to their expected level.

Group B
Champion: Leminine, with 2 wins and a 8-3 record
Runner-Up: L u m i n o u s, with 2 wins and a 10-7 record

Thoughts: This group is just crazy - While I expected this to be the group of death, I never expected Leminine to make it out of groups yet topping the group, by beating both Rampax and L u m i n o u s forcing them to try to eliminate each other. L u m i n o u s had a pretty solid performance in the group stage and played an extremely exciting game with Rampax. Rampax showed moments of brilliance and it is a shame that he didn't manage to progress from the group stage, and we see a top seed fall from the groups without walkovers here. All three players would have certainly made it out if they had been separated in different groups instead. Weeaboo Jones didn't seem strong enough overall to be able to compete with the others in his group.

Group C
Champion: AdielAdrellos, with 3 wins and a 8-1 record
Runner-Up: TheSomething, with 2 wins and a 9-5 record

Thoughts: No real surprises here - AdielAdrellos lived up to his expectations as the top seed and outclassed the rest of his group. TheSomething had an upset win over SolarFox, although it honestly isn't a far stretch to think that it would happen, but certainly showing that he is not one to be underestimated. It is a waste that SolarFox had to give walkovers for the rest of his matches due to family reasons, because I would liked to have seen how he fared against the other two opponents. Slyn was outclassed but he had a few good maps!

Group D
Champion: sushipack321, with a perfect group stage (3 wins, 12-0 record)
Runner-Up: Rawn, with 2 wins and a 8-8 record

Thoughts: Once again, no real surprise with sushipack321 being the dominant force in this group and topping it without trouble. Rawn had a very interesting match against T_Yozora and T_Yozora certainly came close to making it in the bracket stage, but his inconsistency held him back this time, but he definitely gave a good account of himself. D e s couldn't play his last match against T_Yozora, so it is difficult to see where he actually stands although he appears rather inconsistent.

Group E
Champion: MiraiXu, with 2 wins and a 8-3 record
Runner-Up: NaruseMio-, with 1 win and a 5-6 record

Thoughts: Group of disaster, where the top seed already gave walkovers to everyone in the group, making it a three-horse race. MiraiXu topped the group, but it was a gift from NaruseMio- throwing the match against him. However, his performance against Jeffrey certainly makes me believe that being unseeded does not do him justice, and he is a not to be underestimated despite appearing to be the weakest player among the group champions. NaruseMio- actually played really well against MiraiXu before throwing at the end of matches, and despite being low seeded he could have potentially impressed more in the bracket stage. I am personally disappointed in Jeffrey 's performance, but due to NaruseMio- withdrawing we could potentially see Jeffrey redeem himself with a more difficult mappool in the bracket stage which leads it to being less of a consistency test and where skill counts for more.

Group F
Champion: Amane-, with 3 wins and a 8-3 record
Runner-Up: BlackViper2, with 2 wins and a 11-5 record

Thoughts: I don't think anyone expected Amane- to not top the group, but what was truly surprising was BlackViper2's incredibly strong performance in the group stage, taking Amane- to a tiebreaker and beating out ZYuan. He certainly looks to shaping up to be a hidden threat in the bracket stage. ZYuan disappeared after his loss against BlackViper2, so it is difficult to tell where he stands. Viores just looked outclassed as the lowest-ranked player in the whole tournament.

Group G

Champion: sprItzEr, with 3 wins and a 12-4 record
Runner-Up: rch3211, with 2 wins and a 8-6 record

Thoughts: No surprises in this group for me. There were some question marks about sprItzEr's consistency with mouse in my mind, but I have no doubt that he is still a very strong player and he proved it by 4-0ing rch3211, FC-ing 3 maps and not even missing once (sliderbroke once in one map). I thought that chickeneric gave a very good account of himself in the group stage but his lack of mod capabilities might have held him back. owlstalker did put up a good show despite being an unseeded player by not getting stomped by any of the others in his group, well done there.

Group H
Champion: Rumia-, with 3 wins and a 12-2 record
Runner-Up: Conflict, with 2 wins and a 8-7 record

Thoughts: No surprises for me - Rumia- dropped two games, but I thought that his 4-0 against Conflict probably stamped his class over the rest of the group and sent a clear warning to everyone that he is the defending champion of the OMT and he will not just give away his title to members of the new generation. I thought that Conflict looked rather shaky in obtaining his second place spot - he has clear weaknesses but his combo ability is still a threat for every other group champion out there (2 FCs against Rumia-). walaowey and Uta - chan appeared to be really close in skill with both having their own strengths and weaknesses, but not good enough to actually threaten the big boys in their group.


I am excited for the bracket draws tomorrow!!

im aware of that (not to mention there's 2 mafumafu in this mappool) but i really don't want this to be something that i need to care about cuz there's already soo much rules and requirements for me to choose map to make it fun, hard, varies and unique (and i don't really have huge map library ;w;). hopefully people don't find this repetitive already.

Don't worry I have been there, people reject my nomination just because they cannot FC on it or because it is not ranked (and then they put in unranked maps) or because I don't have a top rank of relevants mods on my best performance

but omt is much more lenient than that from what I see in the map pool

That's basically saying a #10k scrub mapper/modder shouldn't map/mod a 6* diff LOL

Lol I never meant it that way, I mean I'm a huge fanboy of yanaginagi and senya/Mayumi Morinaga I'm so happy I had to mention it.

OMT Week 4/Round of 16 Review

Overall, tons of extremely exciting matches over the last weekend, and I really enjoyed this round.

sprItzEr 5 - 3 Karuta-
I actually predicted the exact scoreline on stream (feels good man), so both players did perform exactly up to my expectations, with NoMod being a consistency battle and with whoever who has a better grasp on the other mods emerging as the frontrunner. All NoMod maps were picked! Both players put up rather consistent performances, but I felt that there is still a lot of room of improvement from both players before being truly considered as contenders to actually challenge the favourites of the tournament.

Leminine 5 - 4 Conflict
A rematch of the Round of 32 match in the OMT last year, once again in the first round of the bracket stage. This was honestly the match that was the hardest to call for me. I always respect Conflict's ability to keep a massive combo in tournaments, even if he disregards accuracy, making him a lethal threat to pretty much anyone. Was not surprised to see this go all the way to tiebreaker. I predicted a Leminine win, simply because I was extremely impressed with his play in the group stage and showing that he has begun to obtain a grasp on all the mods, making him a strong tournament player. Really thought Leminine made a fatal miss when losing his Guilty Crown HR pick, but he managed to nick back a point off Conflict when on the verge of defeat to bring on the tiebreaker. I thought the tiebreaker will be disadvantageous to Leminine as well due to Conflict's ability to keep an amazing combo, but he proved me wrong, as Conflict underperformed in the tiebreaker.

Rumia- 4 - 5 L u m i n o u s
I predicted a Rumia- victory, but L u m i n o u s really gave me a pleasant surprise this round. Rumia- as the defending champion and a dominant performance against Conflict in the group stage, I predicted his win because I thought he has the upper hand in terms of stability and overall ability. I always thought that L u m i n o u s had the overall skills to make this an extremely exciting match, but his lack of confidence and his nerves is always what prevented him from being a consistent tournament player. However, it looks like L u m i n o u s has obtained a lot of confidence after his opening loss against Leminine after dumping Rampax out of the tournament. This was an amazing match and probably the best match of the Round of 16 as the match could have swung either way, with 3 maps going within a 200k difference. L u m i n o u s just played out of his mind in the tiebreaker.

AdielAdrellos 5 - 0 Rawn
I predicted an Adiel win, but I thought Rawn would be able to nick a point or two off him simply because AdielAdrellos didn't really have an impressive performance in the group stage. Adiel definitely proved me wrong though, as he displayed a very dominant and impressive performance. There isn't really much to add to this, I think that Adiel just demonstrated the difference in skill and consistency between the two players (no offense intended), marking himself out as one of the tournament favourites this time.

Amane- 5 - 0 Jeffrey
Predicted the Amane- victory. If I had any doubts about his consistency after his very shaky win over BlackViper2, it was pretty much dispelled after he FC'd the first three maps. Jeffrey seemed to be getting more and more into the match as it progressed - I thought he could potentially nick a point but overall it is hard to see anything except Amane- being the superior player in consistency and overall ability.

sushipack321 5 - 1 rch3211
I predicted the sushi win, but I thought rch really didn't actually perform up to his potential in this match. Overall a comfortable victory for sushi although he didn't impress me as much as he did in the group stage. I thought the matches could have been a lot closer if rch actually played to what I feel that he is capable of. Didn't feel the disparity in skill in this matchup as compared to Amane- vs Jeffrey or AdielAdrellos vs Rawn.

MiraiXu 5 - 3 BlackViper2
Wrongly predicted a BlackViper2 win, mainly because I was impressed with his performance in the group stage especially against ZYuan and Amane-. That's not to say that I was unimpressed with MiraiXu, he did put up a damn good performance against Jeffrey in groups as well, but I thought that BlackViper2 was the stronger 'overall player'. That being said, although some matches did come quite close, I felt that BlackViper2 slightly underperformed today, and MiraiXu played solidly to earn himself the win. Well done.

TequilaWolf 5 - 3 TheSomething
Another surprise for me besides Rumia- vs L u m i n o u s. I'll be honest here, when I first took a look at this matchup I thought that this was a mismatch in skill with TequilaWolf having a huge upper hand. I ended up being thoroughly impressed with TheSomething's performance, being very capable of playing all sorts of mods and consistently obtaining a high combo to really put on the pressure onto TequilaWolf (I would be lying if I didn't think that TequilaWolf actually had a very real chance of losing when watching the match). TheSomething definitely had his chances though, and the last map could have really allowed a tiebreaker to happen if TequilaWolf didn't put up an absurdly good performance! Definitely worked TequilaWolf for the win instead of the 5-1 victory I was expecting.

Thoughts:

NM: Generally okay choices.
Bird sprite: Straightforward map, the only tricky part is the end stream in which you might need some stamina and aim for it.
can't hide your love: AR9 200bpm, making it extremely dense and requires good AR9 reading. the OD9 makes it harder to gain accuracy on the map.
Deep Space: CS5, but overall straightforward map with some weird stream patterns (squares lmfao)
FUBUKI: Good choice for a modern map I guess, just a consistency test but be careful of the 1/3 jumps along the way.
Refuck!: I'm pretty sure Ex6TenZ chose this for the lulz. But nonetheless, 0still 5 mins, nothing special, consistency test also.
Onna to Onna: A map like Usatei, weird stream patterns, the middle part which is 210bpm requires some getting used to, and the final section with ridiculously fast sliders just like usatei.

HR: I'm liking all the HR brackets so far.
BSPower: This map was easier for me to read with AR10 imo, a lot of bursts.
Clock Strikes: Modern map so nothing really special, just very jumpy.
ODDS&ENDS: 5 mins HR also, consistency test.

HD: Arguably better than last round.
Quo Vadis: Very very tricky. 1/4 mixed in with 1/6 and weird rhythm patterns, but still a good song.
Blue Night: AR9 200bpm, extremely dense (I'd say harder than Awake), and as with most Renard songs, it's sometimes kinda hard to catch the beat (the pun lmao) so requires good hearing.
Reminisce: The least tricky map, yet the longest HD map. Real test of consistency.

DT: Difficulty step-up this time round.
Till It's Over: Literally Meikaruza. Alternates and spaced beats making it much harder, and it's of higher BPM than Meikaruza as well (This is 165x2 = 330bpm while Meikaruza is 300bpm).
Sai afure: Straightforward, but be careful not to be tricked by the intense music it's just 203bpm.
Niji no Asa ni: 225bpm, by far the highest bpm map in the mappool, but if you can do streams and bursts at this bpm then it's also the easiest out of the bracket.

TB: When you have kors k and RLC combined, the end product is always a read heavy map with a lot of tricky beats and alternates. This TB really rewards those who have good reading and finger control and consistency, unlike the previous rounds where one only needs to be consistent.

Nevertheless, great mappool pick as always, enjoyed myself to the maximum :)
