Thanks~

haha no japan team why

the pending section is incomplete

The Pending Team list has been updated and is now complete. I will not update the team list daily, but every now and then in bigger chunks. Right now, I am still waiting for more replies from the captains. Their deadline is the 8th March. By then, we should have everything (hopefully)

Wtf is torunaments ? I hope you made this typo only here ._.

Suggestion for next year : Could you send a confirmation email/PM when we to the tournament ? We received several about players who said they ed and weren't on the list. When they pm'd the staff they have been told that they never ed which is quite unfortunate since they were sure they did.

A player with 75 playcount in taiko is on the commentator's list for A TAIKO tournament...
Can someone please tell me what is going on?

This ^

also didn't we have good applicants, who actually have experience on Taiko, that applied as commentator?

it just strikes me as odd, really odd.

Can't say how commentators are choosen beside checking applications, but we never had many commentators to begin with, who really know something and at the same time have interest into this at all. The commentators we have right now should be fine, with ztrot and deadbeat as leading commentators who Tasha and Chromoxx(as the Taiko experts) plus the addition of juan and Slainv who talk for the bright mass who don't know the game mode at all.

If you ask me, the commentator team should be fine. But beside that, we can't say for sure who applied as commentator. And considering the past, it wouldn't wonder me if no one applied beside the people we see in the list. lol

(If I'm not wrong, MMzz and myself will commentate the mappools anyway)

i applied but was rejected and will be rejected for every thing i ever do in the rest of my time trying to be in this community.

no offense toward chromoxx but i hated his commentary during last LMS. he's a good streamer and i like his commentary on his stream, but in my opinion during the matches he streamed that tourney, he was considering people bad players and not taking into the logic that not everyone who plays taiko is the same type of player as him. an example was literally calling people idiots for not using HD on a tiebreaker when they were like rank #1000 and weren't good with mods. but he was also on his own for commentary so he'll probably do fine as .

can't say anything about the guy with no playcount because i didn't see his application and don't know anything about him, but best of luck.

just as a fyi

juan was not added later, he and zak and deadbeat and ztrot are, as far as I have heard, the "core commentator staff" so no none of these were added later on.


I don't want to judge any decision made now though

I totally agree with this. There is no need to worry about this, Slainv actually know the game mode quite well, and it's not the first time he will take care about a tournament-related thing.

Ehm, if Chromoxx was saying things like this, I have to say, I don't necessarily approve of his actions, however if he was saying it in a joking tone then that's fine. We are always quite "unprofessional" on LMS, so please don't expect the same level here. TWC has a much more professional atmosphere for it's commentating.

For example, I am friends with everyone who usually signs up for LMS, so whenever I commentate, I love to poke fun at them. You should really take note of this because I think Chromoxx was probably joking. He is normally quite good as a commentator, as someone who can fill air time with decent conversation. So yeah, LMS should not necessarily guide your feelings towards this tournament specifically. We are not d with their main staff.

And one more thing, if you or anyone was feeling like they had no honest chance at ing the commentary team for this tournament, in our next LMS tournament, you can feel free to drop by and commentate any match you would like.

Pretty much what Backfire said.... I do not calling anyone an idiot, nor rank #1000 players in tiebreakers either....
And even if i may have said something like that, it was definitely not meant seriously lol.... It was the LMS and I was simply commentating for fun.

<3 I am not that good of a player in osu! in general, however I organised IRL/offline tourbnaments as well as commented them.

I can understand why someone would be spooked but well, they'll just have to give it a listen

I just came to check the Team's list and damn this Japan Monster team.

When will be the schedule released ?

I'm talking about the hours of the Group Stage matches

I can't confirm when they'll start yet but They'll most likely be starting the group stages early morning. Eiither 6am or 8am in possibly.

Schedules for the group stage will be released this sunday.

I dunno why or what happened to a post about this but, the map pool is out in case anyone didn't see.

I mean...they probably wouldn't exactly start the tournament then. But...usually every time Osulive starts streaming, it's either at Midnight or at 2 in the morning where I live. :c Shortly afterwards, they start the matches.

By the way, the statistics from our group are not correct, we lost only 4 games and won 7, whereas China won 8 and lost 4. doesn't matter anyway

I haven't played such an exciting match before the match against .
In fact I have given up when we were losing for 0-3...
I never thought about we could succeed finishing the reverse sweep.
I'm really glad that I practiced tiebreaker so many times.
God blessing and I am looking forward to the next game.

good maps
very good
good like heaven

Back from Taiko practice :p

FRA-CHN match was one of high and lows for me, a roller coaster of emotions with the comeback and all =)
The teams really played well and all the matches were enjoyable (and I hope we commentators helped with that)

I am looking forward to commenting the other matches (and ultimately, see win!)

Message the mappers and see if they can apply the timing fixes in time.
