Starvise... no, some maps were i'd say as hard as 4,3* when played. Just me being trolly and giving maps that were weirdly mapped.
I hope that you wont "troll" this time xD because I really hate those maps where you need to play 500 times to fc it.
Not intended for this tourney :P.
Even if I would, it would be max 1 or 2 maps from the whole pool of 15maps.

I see a lot of 100k player and also tablet user. This gonna be interesting 8-)
Here is some wise advise from tbag188 from the 2nd tour. This sure help me a lot and i hope it will be help for you too.

Few things on the "get excited" and other factors i've noticed about players and how it impacts their play.
1. Rank doesn't matter in tournament play. Well ofc higher ranked player is excpected to win, but that isn't 100% true all the time.
2. Cokiness. "I don't need to practise since I play only 5* maps", seen it happen, no point in excplaining further why the guy went 0-2 in groupstage.
3. Confidence is good... aslong as you don't go overboard with it and turn it into cokiness.
4. Mappool randomness, I've seen lots and lots of good players fail because "mappool had too easy maps" or "I dont play AR7 ever", thats what the tournament is for, finding the best OVERALL player. Not the fastest one, not the best streamer.
5. Preparing opponent vise. This is a bit harder task to do in a 2 day tournament when you get to know your opponents 1day-15mins before the match, but i had a player in one of my earlier tournaments who could EASILY upset his group by quickly scouting through their plays and banning what was their best/picking what was their worst.
6. N E V E R G I V E U P. Dropping combo doesn't mean you can't win, always play to the end, maybe he fails or something.
Good Luck and Have Fun 8-)

Your real danger here is me XD
Don't you two guys go fighting about who fucking owns my country this time.

Also, wouldn't it be cool if two people streaming would oppose each other, especially in the finals, just that fucking hype, some people have been watching through out the entire tourney, we have ~100 people watching each our streams.
Wouldn't that be intense?
Especially if the warm-up maps are something ludicrous, like This ---> https://osu.ppy.sh/s/248413 (I think, I'm on my mothers laptop in a christmas vacation, I'll be back in two days).

Anyone here gonna spoil what they're gonna pick as their warm-ups?
I mean, as the warm-ups doesn't give any points, what's the point in keeping them secret?

In about 13h I've most likely updated the OP with mappool and some very minor rule changes.

@Allenwalker88 Welp, uhm this mappool the HR pool is fairly... uhm, "Un-HR-like". Few lower (and I mean REALLY low) AR maps.

Not the whole pool. Just 1 or 2 I'm still rolling dice on LOL. Overall the change is to allow new to HR players an easier access to the HR pool and to welcome some more mappool variety.

MAPPOOL HYPE
I feel really iffy about this pool x) don't overhype it.

1st tourney pool was poor IMO. 2nd tourney was IMO a step towards better, but some players didn't like it as much as 1st ones. Now we are slightly going back towards the pool of 1st tourney, while also bringing something new. I don't know how to feel about these changes before 9th of January.

I sent something for all the guys who asked about reffing ;). I'll be able to post the Mappool already in 3-4H.

Can't defeat airman ofc :^) JK I haven't decided yet to be honest XD
Xayler
So has anyone those "special" abilites like doing DT,HR or HD maps? Of course they should be secret, but I wonder if anyone here has already focused on some mod.

I will look forward to play HR. ;)

Good luck everyone anyways, practice the heart mostly, as when you play against your opponent -> the heart beating is the thing what will drop your combo.

Just finished placing the mappool into OP. Make sure you got the RIGHT MAP FROM EVERY SONG!

@Xayler I'm eyeballing the participant list and I can remember that quite a few of the players have played HR in earlier tourneys, can't find a single HD specialist from my earlier tournaments tho :/.

MAPPOOL HYPE! Time to start practicing hard for the next 2 weeks. :D

Hmm... depends on map, but HD is sometimes easier, well combo breaking is classic in HD for me also. Do you mean specialist by doing fc's in HD?

Ooooh! That is a nice mappool! Looking forward to the training. ;) I can already see that I'll have to train my DT and Nomod XD

@Xayler Well speaking of players that pick HD bc they can FC and have a high Acc with no problem.

@- Kameyo - Yea, NM is pretty hard this time (compared to other pools)

Respect to anyone who will FC The Game of Love HR. Haven't played such shitty map in a long time. Other than that mappool seems pretty cool :)

mhm. What makes it that bad of an map, other than abnormally low AR and old mapping style.
paolostyle
I can't describe it. It's just not enjoyable, most likely because like most new players I don't like old mapping style. Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt you'll find a lot of people who will enjoy this map. Just my opinion of course and it doesn't really matter what I think about the mappool, I'm going to play in the tournament anyway.

I might have chosen a warm-up map. It will probably be https://osu.ppy.sh/b/82734 Otherwise I will go with Big black, Freedom dive, Can't defeat airman or Defenders :P :) ;)

Some people like it, some don't. The thing is, the mappool isn't just only for fun. It can provide some strategies. Players who are comfortable with the old mapping style will have an advantage at this point.

Oh I completely understand it, the more diverse mappool the better for the competition. I took advantage of it myself last time as I really like Clumsy Thoughts and apparently everyone else hated this map. Just sharing my opinion about that map.

Yea, every map last time had their group of players. As you noticed, what someone dislikes someone else may like.
Xayler
Well yea this tourny is going to be interesting as there are already many maps where I have around 80% acc. :D
Snikerdoodles
sorry for such thing but is it ok if I leave the tourney? there is a late scheduled event that will happen in 9-10 for me, so I think I won't be attending..

Yeah, I agree, I mostly played From under cover, which is an AR7 HD map, which everyone also hated :)
