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.

what no they won't, they'll never will

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.

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

Here is the Map-Pack

I didn't find out about the map pool for this year's group stage matches until I looked up the main Twitch Channel yesterday! Will definitely try all of these maps out once I get around to them! Thanks Backfire!

Wiki has been updated with the schedule and whatnot. Check it out!

This was my first year playing, only won 1 map but we had a blast anyway, looking forward to viewing the later stages

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
good

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!)

I am unreasonably taking bait on provocations. I shouldn't do that.

In Final mappools, sasakure maps (Utopia of Oz, and Garakura Doll Play) have serious wrong barlines. Is it possible to fix it before weekend?

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

What a match ! Well played from both team Canada and Japan, looking forward to seeing the next matches ! Shoutout to the commentators too who are doing a great job hyping the finals !

Japan too strong. Please nerf. (GG Japan)

GG Korea. That's the closest twc match I've ever played
Sorry to all my teammates that I didn't play properly, but still it's a valuable experience to all of us

Congratulations to Canada or getting 3rd place and good luck to Taiwan against Japan next weekend. Can't wait for this
also double tiebreaker hype

I'd like to be the first to apologize to all the Canadian fans for my performance when it counted.

Taiwan you guys did great and deserved the win here. I have no regrets with how far we managed to get this year. Maybe next year the result will be different.

Well they could'nt have made it that far without thier team leader

Dont be too hard on yourself.

Just one last thing to post here. For anyone who may be interested in pre match statistics for our team on matches (what our best scores were before the match took place), we're releasing our charts we used for helping us decide what maps to pick.

Round of 16
Quarterfinals
Semifinals
Finals

Thanks again tasha !

Well, I was about to share my tournament spying app, but I guess that would be a bad idea

Anyway, judging by this year's teams, next TWC will be interesting...
Was hoping to see or in top #3 too

wiki updated!

Don't forget! Last chance to buy banners for your profile! Keep in mind that buying a banner of the winning team will make the banner decorate your profile a while after the tournament, even!

Why is this so dead? Literally no hype for Grand Finals?

zzzzzzzz

GO TW :^)

I can't wait for the Grand Finale of TWC2016 Tomorrow. Not sure if I'll be able to catch the games since it's going to start really early in the morning for me and I might miss out while I'm asleep but....I hope both teams give it everything they got! GL to Both Teams playing in the Final Battle tomorrow; and may the next Taiko World Cup bring us more excitement!

I have to say the match was really exciting to watch. I guess no one is posting because it leave them without words? (hehe)

Congratulations to Japan team for winning and to Taiwan team for putting a good fight against them.

SOON. I mean in 2050
I'm actually surprised, that no one is even posting in here. It died so quickly.

maybe it's because of expectations getting fulfilled and such? lols

And of course, thanks everyone for playing! I had lots of fun this year, even if it was hard as f.
Ono, great mappools, enjoyed every single map. Even if they are hard, I still find them challenging to play. There is no such thing as a bad map. Many people said these maps from mappools are weird, but I loved them. Challenge = fun. Thanks.

Commentators were great, teams were great, everything was awesome. Keep up doing the great job, guys!

Psst psst. We had 2 girls playing on our team :3
