My love comes at a hefty cost. T_T

Treat me gently Raharu.....

I was promised by Starry by g up I'd have some form of a chance.

I would like a refund.

I'm looking forward to round 2 if I get there.

Yo, I'll donate/sponsor some prizes (1 year, 6 month, and 3 month er) ((Though won't be able to do it until end of November.)) It's genuinely nice to see some UK tournaments

Count me in! Sorry im late i work like a responsible person.

This wouldnt be a UK tournament without me anyway!

FOR NAVI

We are full on slots. You were reserved a spot but because Cozzy also wanted in cause he was a bit late, I gave Cozzy the spot since you didn't reply for like 30+ hours. The spots filled up very quickly, within a hour. The sudden burst of popularity made it hard for me to reserve spots as I wasn't expecting it to come to reserved spots, to be honest. I am sorry but I can't allow you to play due to the bracket being full.

Nilheiven, that'd be amazing.

I am always glad to see that the OWC sets the standards for tournaments in this community

Depending on the quality of this tournament, you might receive some official sponsoring in prizes and maybe we can stream the finals in the osulive channel.
Just keep in mind to actually run it properly and till the end, with a steady organization.

Poke me again as soon as this gets more real.

I'll take that as a compliment, Loctav.

Damn this ninja. Read my edited post, lol

So how do we get this tourney more real than it currently is? :V

Pimp your thread, pimp your rules, make it look less drafty and more like a real tournament.
Also it's real when the mappool and match schedules are actually present.
Same goes for the actual matches. As soon as they happen in a well organized manner, we can figure out more.

Take a look on the NAtourney, the French or Skandinavian tournament, indonesian ones, the OCWT and so on.

Also you have no fancy logo.

I have underground connections with a variety of people. I'll get on my graphic connnections, trust.

OK. Main posted edited to look professional. Art shall come.

How about a profile badge? Other tourneys have it I believe.

If we get official going from tournament staff, that could happen.

Massive thanks to Nilheiven!

Logo added!

That logo could use some anti-aliasing ...

Agreed, I messed up on something fixed it and sent portal better one now

Updated.

I can try to gift a prize too. (^^)/

I am going to make a statement here:

If you drop out of this tournament just for the sole reason of wanting someone in the tournament; they won't get your spot and your opponent will advance to the next round. I am not having people dropping out just because they want someone in the competition.

That is all.

Shame I missed the s, would really like to participate in a UK tournament - though I've only been playing for one month so would probably get annihilated by the better players

Anyway, good luck with the tournament, and I'm wondering how often you plan to host these tournaments PortalLife? Will it become a regular thing?

This could become a regluar annual thing maybe, idk.

That's be pretty awesome, possibly open up more spaces if there's a next time? The tourney got filled in the space of around an hour lol

Is it really fair that the people picking maps, organizing, and judging the play are allowed to participate in the contest itself? I mean, you could just pick a bunch of maps you know very well and gain an unfair advantage.

This is a fair point Lach. I chose people I trust to staff. Im on limited resources and I have to make do with what I get. Map pools are reviewed as a team to ensure fair play and reasonable challenge.

Doing a tourney like this annually would be really cool, but next time you will need far more spaces.

Also I'm willing to help out with the organisation of these tourneys if they become frequent.
I would happily commentate or stream the games too.

Just a update. If you guys have any map suggestions for the various stages of the tournament, PM me with your ideas.

Taking suggestions for DT/HD/HR/No Mod.

Dont send troll suggestions, wasting your own time.

UPDATE

Unforunately Dodef has lost access and has quit osu! as a result of this. So after all that drama, Raiku shall be put in at Dodef's seed pending Raiku's approval.

i approve

Raiku has been added in Dodef's place (rip)

And it is time to finally announce: The tournament begins on 7th of December, with the Round of 32! Map pool and Match Times have been added; please check if youre available at the time posted; if not, me.

(I know the UK has the 3rd place match but lets be fair the OWC players have a easy bracket/pool )

Watch out Jesus, Im on the hunt ladorino.

god save the queen

Could i be withdrawn from the tournament? There's a good chance of me being busy during the weekends.

By his request, Dom is withdrawn. Mudkipz will advance to the next round with a Bye.

Also, Bubby963 vs Viremon is to be postponed to 6PM, 9th December.

Times have been updated accordingly!

Replacing a player that got hacked and lost access is quite reasonable decision. Dropping for the sake of wanting another is just why. Why even bother g up in that case?

By the sounds of it you dont understand how seeding works: The matchups are determined so that the top seeds face each other on harder maps later on. If it was random and half the good players went out Round 1 thatd be a shitty tournament. Seeding will allow us to see who is the best.

(leldoublepost)

Because of Mahiro having work commitments on the weekend, Raiku vs Mahiro was played today!

Raiku wins 3-1.

Match results:



GG WP to both.

Tomorrow will begin the full set of matches!

Sched to be updated.

http://osu-ppy-sh.tvgratuite.org/mp/3208842
For people who want to see.

ALSO this play of Dear You was bugged so we replayed

yeah i got raped by a combo despite ss :S

very well played to mahiro by beating me at my own game on hidden.

make sure you practice the songs in the mappool or you might just get done in by a slider.

its easier to lose a point than you think because most people will fc, make sure you are confident and consistent in every map in the pool

I understand seedng portal.. very well for that matter, for most of the people that signed up anyway.. are going out first round.. so half the people that signed up are going to get dropped out, you didnt put a skill limit / rank cap so your putting like 5k+ players against people who have 3 or even 2 digits in there rank. you've basically wasted most of peoples time because you think its a good idea to put a low ranked player against a high rank player.. good job bro.. you really do know how "seeding works" :/

Why do you think I made the map pool so easy relative to other tournaments? I wanted to give lower players a chance. Besides, no one was that bothered when the unseeded teams would get matched vs top seeds, for example. Its just the way a tournament works.

I'm going to up the stakes for the winner: You get a personally signed deathadder from me if you win. yep the very same one that got the rank 1 on scatman xD

Then got sniped RIP

RO32 Results Post! As more results come in, i'll update this post with match history/scores.


RO16 Shed/Map Pool to be announced this weekend.

Check the bracket to see how we stand, GG WP all!

I missed this! D:
Hope it goes well and that another tournament is a possibility.

Slain by the disciple

R.I.P. EzLyn

New map pool released.

The seeding of the tournament is done as intended - that is with the intention of higher skill players getting to play each other at the end for a more "grand finale".

However your comment on 5K+ players against under 1K players is somewhat of a valid comment, but it is unavoidable. The lower rank players knew what they were getting themselves into and wanted to play anyway, so I don't think it is a waste of time. I do however think that it would be nice if the tournament had some more players in so that us 5 digit noobs could have a chance to play and also people who didn't within the first 20 seconds get a place - this tournament was a lot more popular than intended it seems

Welp... I hope there will be another tourney againn....: D
And not be late for that time......

There will be.

Update: RO16 times added.

Update 2: Viremon wins via noshow

rip bubby and charley

That feel when forgot I was playing orz

It makes me sad to announce but Nyaristoru due to personal reasons has forefitted his match. Raharu is to advance.

How sad.. that would have been a fun match to play, wish EA the best with his reasons.

Would also like to say good luck to everyone playing in the round!

RO16 day!


On another note: Is this tourney cursed? So many issues with players noshowing, having problems etc. Kinda ruining it but oh well, the show must go on, gz to the winners. Quarter finals info will be announced soon.

Update: PortalLife vs Navi was played 15/12 at 6PM

Annoucement: Because of players having unforseen problems and me not really willing to give a walkover at this stage; I will be postponing the Semi finals to the next weekend, the 4th of January.

Sorry guys.

sigh: Mudkipz forfeits due to his PC failing quite hard and he has to spendn a few weeks sorting out the problem; it was his will. Raharu into the finals, Mudkipz into 3rd place match

this tourney is cursed

Doomy won 4-1 vs Deatho.

Deatho vs Mudkipz for 3rd place, Raharu vs Doomsday for 1st/2nd

UPDATE! A winner is born, GZ to Doomsday taking 1st place. Raharu takes the runner up. 3rd place is Mudkipz!
If I can get in touch with peppy, Doomsday shall get 6 months , and Raharu shall get 4. It was streamed (link later)
