Main thread: [osu!standard] Project Loved: Week of April 21st
Golec uOrkiestra - Slodycze by fartownik and Raikozen
Captain's description (by DigitalHypno):
If you know anything about Polish teams in osu! tournaments, you're probably aware that they're infamous for choosing songs of their own culture—which aren't commonly seen elsewhere in osu!—as warmup maps for their matches (sometimes referred to as "Polish warmups"). Every now and then, they put in the effort to make their own maps of these songs with the intent of picking the map as a warmup for the match. Such maps include this masterpiece of a collab between fartownik and Raikozen, which was used as Poland's warm up in the Grand Finals match of the osu! World Cup 2017, where the team won their first World Cup title.
The map itself rests at 140 BPM and a star rating just under 7. It's mapped in a fairly aim-heavy style in the chorus sections and a more alternating-heavy style in the verses. The difficulty ramps up as the song progressively gets more intense. The background depicts a very classy edit of Rafis, a famous top Polish player, shaking hands with... himself. A man can be seen behind them with an animated mango pasted over his head—this represents mangomizer, one of the organizers of the tournament.
All in all, everything about this map comes together to make one big bundle of joy that captures the character of Polish warmups. If you're one who's fascinated by niche bits of history within the osu! community, or maybe just one who enjoys a fun and enjoyable map, you'll definitely want to add this one to your collections.
