And I'm talking about super duper hard maps that no one can fc that's the stuff I'm looking for
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?

I agree! Where is the New Zealand representation, I feel left out because people barely know my country and only let Deadbeat be apart of staff because he hates to identify as a citizen of a team that's never made it out groups for any mode xD
Bahahaha yeah, we're so far away from others huhuhu ;A;

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!

I'd sign up, but I'd weigh Australia down if I did. Sure, I can HD and DT, but I can't HR, nor keep up with 5 star maps overly well: I keep failing at the end of heaps of 5 star maps. Even though I could be an emergency pick, I'd only be there to make sure there was a spare player that Australia could use in those situations. Also looking at the mappools for the other WCs this year, we could be in for a difficult year,

At the end of the day it's about getting involved and having fun, I doubt I'll be able to do many of the maps at all, but get involved for the experience!. I'm not the best, but I believe from my head tomatoes
