The boys are bringing it home, don't worry.

Nah, in all seriousness, this is going to be pretty intense this year, especially for the top 4!

no it will not be intense because of beatmap veto rule.

Korea-Malaysia-USA and who is going to be the top 4? lool

High 4key skill implies higher ranking, but the converse isn't true. (yawn)


some interesting fact is that high ranking may not implies high skills.

I'm not sure korea can win easyly

Maybe Japan Can take winner Easyly that korea

maybe i can take a+ easyly that final exam

btw yes, Korea may not able to win that easily like last year. There are some loss and disappearance of well skilled players.

BUT NOT JAPAN THOUGH

Lol :v

Dont worry, you willl get your revenge, Poland team will be pretty weak this year.

and your accuracy is too ET

inb4 Norway Poland in same group again : D

such a bloody thread (fear)

Guessing the top 4 countries would be USA, Japan, Chile and Korea. Brazil might have a chance if they get through group stages.

Would be surprised to see any other country other than those five.

How about PH ?

If you get second you basically won the tournament. Korean power too strong.

KORila power

ppl really look too much on perfomance ranking, lol.

Anyway, I have a question about drawings, there will be seeds or random drawings like last year? If there will be seeds, then how countries will be sorted? because you cant sort players skill lvl by pp mainly because 75% of mania pp is from 7k and it has nothing to do with 4k (USA players or Staiain or a lot of 4k solo players better than most of players in top50 lol)

probably random. Sorting players by their osu play data is impossible

It will be stupid as hell, just imagine malaysia korea usa japan in one group, 2 of best teams will be eliminated on the beginning of WC.

Bumping this question. Loctav?

Let me figure out who signed up first and what teams we actually have. Then we can figure out a proper way to seed them, not dumbingly doing this by pp, as pp considers 4k, 7k, converts and whatever else

We updated the wiki page and published all rosters just now!

Drawings will be held this Sunday, 16th August 2015 at 14:00 UTC+0. After that, we will show off the Group Stage mappool. Tomorrow, we will sort the teams into their respective seedings and release the result on the wiki page.

Let's face it, korea has no chance of winning this year.

USA vs Japan is inevitable.

Team Stepmania shall prevail.

U!

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

nice tournament
and now captain can ban 2 maps?
inb4 IN 2006, kamui, haelequin, and AiAe insta-ban

Fun tournament, although I didn't play any matches (maybe next year ). Good luck for every team that ed group stage. See you again next year,

Sorry for saying that, but this is just ridiculous.

Don't forget whoosh whoosh bang bang

Don't get me wrong, I'm not the biggest fan of the map pool myself as a player, but you have to suck it up and deal with it. For those of you who are on this ridiculous notion that the map-pool is over-saturated:

Qualia [MX]: S. Star
Gigadelic: Starry
Gravity Soul: Victorica
Asu no Yozora Shoukaihan: LovinYou
Creutz=Wilknare: SanadaYukimura
Dadadadadadadadadada: Victorica
HEAVENLY MOON: Spy
Shanghai Kouchakan ~ Chinese Tea Orchid Remix: SanadaYukimura
Yellow Smile: Starry
Invitation from Mr. C: Fresh Chicken
Trigger Happy: Spy
Ambitious: Spy
Water Horizon: Victorica
ETIA. - Nihonshiki Koukaku-OukaRanman-: Taiwan-NAK
Kanshou no Matenrou: Feerum

3x Spy, 2x Starry, 2x Victorica, 2x SanadaYukimura, 1x Simple Star, 1x LovinYou, 1x Fresh Chicken, 1x Taiwan-NAK, 1x Feerum

... I dunno, I think people are blowing things out of proportion.

3x victorica*

5/14 of mappool is from Spy's mapsets and 1 victorica mapset (but of course Spy and victorica are friends).

In my opinion its just not very professional as a mappicker to pick a lot of own maps (or friend maps), i can understand 1, maybe 2 maps, but not almost 50% of mappool, damn.

Also, there is a lot better and playable version of dadadada by PiraTom and maps like trigger happy are extremely focused only on one extreme difficulty spike (burst on intro) where rest of map is easy, tie breaker is also very questionable, because it only depends on 123412341234 bursts.

And yeah, I will have to deal with maps, but 1/16 round will be just ugly to watch (and play).

Congratulations for everyone who is able to the Round of 16!

The mappool and the schedule can now be found on the wiki page!
We will release the knock-out bracket during tomorrow. Give us a bit to create the image for that properly.

Korea stronk, Brazil almost gave me a heart attack.

So, I ended up taking a screenshot of how our team was keeping scores organized and checking on everyone's progress on the maps, and a few people expressed interest in wanting something like this for their teams as well:



Anyway, I didn't want to just go ahead and release it to a few people that I knew through a common Skype chat, so for fairness' sake, I'm releasing it to everyone that is interested here.

Click here for the spreadsheet.

Go to File and Make a Copy so that the spreadsheet can be directly cloned to your for free editing. Do not touch cells Q1/R1/S1 -- they are responsible for the data validation. Hopefully this will help in organizing things for some teams!

the mappool is so damn ridiculous

I don't have too many issues with this map pool as a player; the only map that I really dislike in this pool is TRIGGER*HAPPY, but it's one of my higher scores so... *shrug*

Despite the previous posts and whatnot, I think the pool itself is quite diverse in of mapping style.

EDIT: actually, that's a white lie, I also personally detest Violet Soul, haha

I will just say, #blameCryo

dat mappool though
