I think there should be more diversity in the map selectors so we should allow people of african american decent to break free of their opression on this game and finally use their extreme limitless talent to the maximum.

I think that a great mapper and player such as Tyrell with a wide bredth of wisdom on the true inner workings of this mode would be a great addition to the team!

This is kinda ridiculous, firstly because it's clearly not any kind of discrimination, using that word is an insult to those actually oppressed if you use it in a situation like this, the mappool selectors happen to not include any asian people, that is all, it can't be said that that is intentional.
Secondly, just because someone is from a different region of the world, doesn't mean they have a different idea on what maps come out. It's not like, for example, me as a British person, sees different maps to a French or an American person. Our own personal experiences may decide which maps we see and which we don't, and who we know, but that is definitely not decided by the region where we live.
Thirdly, map pools were selected weeks ago, it's too late for any real change here, and so adding another mappool selector at this point is basically pointless due to the fact that they would have no work to do, and no real representation.

@sangkraz your rank needs to be a number smaller than 5000. So as of now you'd need to have at least 1665pp to join
that said, there's only 6 spots per country, so you need to be one of the top 6-8 active players in your country rank to join

It does seem kind of weird not having a map selector known for mapping/modding very difficult maps (admittedly I don't know zirox or deif's recent history when it comes to this), hopefully the finals won't be underwhelming or disproportionate because of it. Have fun people

When the cut off rank is 5000, not everyone participating is sub 100 in the world lol. Of course they won't have a map selector who can pick super duper hard maps, even for finals, the map selectors are just fine and the maps should be scaled appropriately
Ill never understand why there's always something or someone to bitch about in this damned community

I must admit I giggled reading this thread. I'm excited for this tournament and I hope you guys have fun with it!

For the people aiming to become mappool selectors this year, I'm afraid it's a bit late for that since the mappool is more or less prepared for all rounds already. If you have interest in helping out for the next CWC don't hesitate contacting personally the tournament management (aka Loctav, p3n, shARPII or me). The best time to ask around would be in February/March next year, more or less when the next TWC is running so we have enough time to organise the next tournament.

Finals is for the best of the best, not for ~5000 rank players. Finals maps should be challenging for high ranking players and not have maps just come down to spinners. Honestly I think the map pools need to be harder than they have been.

EZ mode is now allowed in OCWT in FM brackets tho :P

But who tf will use EZ when it deprives half of your score?

Luckily map selectors aren't a political parliament. There isn't even the necessity to represent different ethnicities. Assuming that the selection is based on racial slur is ludicrous in itself, at OWC nobody complained about having a Chinese and Japanese selector and the lack of an American either, not to speak of mania and taiko.

The only decisive factor when picking map selectors is finding people that are widely unbiased, reliable, proficient and don't affiliate themselves with playing teams. Also they need to be able to deal with our design policies when constructing them. Past experiences with CLSW showed us, that many of these factors are not met. Neither for whoever else applied. Also there was never the intention to get additional help. The catch selectors never had a free spot, because none of the selectors left and there was no desire to replace any of them. Neither was there the desire to create a third spot for no reason (here again, this isn't a parliament, it's a group of people that pick maps, that's it).

Just because some people seem to take it for granted that they get a spot in something where no spot is free (how special must you feel to assume that anyways?), it doesn't give anybody the right to play the racism card. This is just cringe.

And making it look like I hate specific ethnicities again on Reddit doesn't make it less ludicrous (where are people even getting the idea from that anything that goes against their will is automatically the other party being racist? How juvenile...)

Why do multiple ethnicities need to be covered?
I mean... saying that different ethnicities have different skills in mapping / playing is stereotypical in itself.

I guess for Loctav the last few pages were the last straw bearing in mind that osu has a diverse and inclusive community for a rhythm game

I already made a pear pun in the news post comments. Gotta make sure we're diverse, fruit racism should not be tolerated!
