@violet ember hey welcome and dont forgot this channel for tournaments you can use #off-topic-discussion
@remote tinsel There will be one group with top-4 teams which are advanced to the next stage in this case.
ok thx
@winter swallow was the final match for ict a bug? Or did they just not show up???
@velvet dome They didn't show up
They have matches on the Chinese server that overlapped with the matches against CW so they chose China server
works out better for my team jajaja
Did they actually tell you that? Jfc
No they didn't tell me, they play on China server and they have a scheduled match same time as the match against CW
I'd think it's a fact by now that ICT in Asia is ICFC + TOP on CN server 🤔
No joke. I fear if I say anything else, I'll just be digging my hope deeper
nah lol
from what I know, ICT and LOW just knew about their ineligibility to enter Offlines via Asia server
it may just be that they feel that they don't need to do anything from here on to enter top 8 since they already secured, and also lost of motivation (my guess)
Wgs checking so we dont have anything to worry about
I thonk
I think @winter swallow asked already 🤔
not sure what was the answer
The answer was that wg doesn't know
But that it's unlikely a technical issue
Because then some likely would have been in the room and others wouldn't
At least from our side you shouldn't expect any progettos in twister games
inb4 got dragged into the progetto meta later on, I'll make sure to remember this statement
If there arent any big changes to mediums there is no need for a progetto in the tournaments
Progetto meta? While the 215b and t22 meta exists?
We r hitting doubt levels that shudnt be possible
foch meta as well
E3 meta too
Yea i meant coz t22 and 215b r just mt killers
E3 is still at least half meta can't deny that
i wouldnt call it meta though
is4 meta
lol no I already moved of that naive meta
Woah woah woah, u just made that 7 is4 fort strat Maddoz, why u lie
7 batchats is way cooler
We tried that, dint end well
B00N lives on tho
Mmhm
7bc25t op in canal
b00n's a failure
Didn’t 7 batchats work on feast last time
no u
e5 could back for twister proff tank will recive that hp consumable + speed booster like fv215b
Delete more messages pls
@silver vapor 7 bc on vineyards reveal
Send them under the bridge 👀
7 Progetto tactics are ready
@winter swallow i want ur opinion on something, you have streamed 3 servers tournament. So i would like your opinion on Asia server gameplay and strats and could u also compare it with last years performance in the offline finals?
the professionals will feature better game play imo, since it's only Ascent I doubt teams will be pulling all the advance strats out just yet
So far, top level games of Ascents - the quality is up on Spring pros 2019.
Gods tourmament today
However, Asia still lags behind EU/NA - and that is more to do with focus fire and quick rotations more than anything else. Brawls on Asia are, sloppy -
Relatively. Top Asia teams play a good game, but compared to a brawl EG- vs. CARNA or PRAMO vs. RGN, Asia server brawls feel not fully coordinated yet.
for sure
I feel like Asia server is behind EU NA and CIS
Asia is definitely behind, since the competition and population is weaker overall, teams find less need to focus on things that other server heavily focuses on - focus fires and rotations
if FEAST were to get thrown into EU, we would definitely have to pull our best of everything out to even have a chance at top 8 imo
EU this year is very very tough
😬
Brian says it very subtly >.>
exactly what Maddox says, though
for Asia, I find that some clans have definitely advanced since Spring
in Spring Tournament a lot was dependent on which team just happened to have a bit more focus fire than the other
now, you see that several Asia clans have been actively at work with that, and at changing their tanks so it's no longer just an IS4 spamfest
Rip is4 meta
On the one hand, it’s good that IS-4 meta is dead, but on the other hand, FV-215b/Foch meta is kinda sketchy
the meta right now is very twisted
but in Spring, IS4 was definitely used, but generally not 3 to 5 per match, on EU server
at least I moved out of that mostly already, but having to train my T-22 sense just becoz I'm one of the few owners of that tank in the team is just oof
this time we have fv215b foch and t22 you dont need others tanks to make good tactic
foch can cap rush hold rotate or spot
U do need other tanks
yes but this 3 tanks can do the job
Forgetting about the bc
you can use it but also you can dont use it
Feels like meta is coming full circle to twister 1. Rush to aggressive positions and then brawl right after.
I guess "it's for the viewers"
Give maus a speed boost like on the 215b
🌈
noonooonon give maus hp boost same like fv215b @gentle sierra
- speed booster why not
tbf, brawls aren't fun for viewers or streamers 😂
it's much more enjoyable to see a tactical game buildup =)
@silver vapor Feast is definitely one of the clans I meant when I said that some clans have advanced and are actively at work at training focus fire and changing the lineups
@signal lagoon wrong
it's one of the reasons you're a top contender for Asia, imo
^ yes
@leaden belfry idk, now it feels like there's something missing
But with tanks like 215b and Foch that have weak armor, the IS4 can be the key to winning
though, I saw a team take 5 mice and 2 Foch's on Tuesday 🙃
Maus can work
and 5 JG's and 2 Foch
Just extremely situational
tbf, they were heavily trolling
Which team used 5 mice 🤔
Ah lol 😂
that was cause we were on stream @leaden belfry
we knew that u'd like
still seems that a one shot maus scared @pale finch 😝
Amaunet likes mice huh 🤔
Leopards.. Hmm
it was a very big trolling day last Tuesday, that's for sure
it was quite funny, but at the same time, quite mean
I guess that was somehow a genuine cat mouse relationship then
ahahaha
Smh. This scamo team is pulling a fast one. Why are this pramo player trying to be a epic gamer by leaving his pramo team just as when scamo needs tickets to play the game (and when they need cups to stay in top 8)??? Unfair. And wargaming really to do a good job and really do a fairness for the other teams and the community as a whole.
Update they also have a purpl player trying to do the same. The pramo is catching themselves in a super conspiracy once again in a twister season. S M H
One team per clan in pro tourney
Feel free to share your idea why cant the real pros play the game in the level they are?
explain what rules have been broken
also I wonder whose alt this is ^^^ 😂 @chilly hemlock
Please observe rule 11 and 5 sir evensteven from a top clan looking down on a noob like me
@thorn shale show me where it explicitly says one team per player
Until then you are just naming and shaming. Which isn’t allowed
Oof he got a point
Lol it’s pretty obvious what the goal is which is to get scamo into top 8.
how can I see the live?
Number 11
You guys are basically arranging for scamo to get top 8 by sending maverick and space dawg which is to get an advantage
That is clearly against the rules imo, most the clans think the same.
You are right iraikonnen sir. There is no rule that states one team for player. However, how do you explain a world where two players suddenly join a clan, leave after Sunday when scamo gets enough tickets, and a chance to play comp in twister? Scamo has next to no mathematical chance of making top 8 with the fact that other teams have more tickets and more chances to win cups. Maybe if snowfox and maverick stay than it cash money of u sir
😂😂😂 cmon now I know you guys are rigging I’ve been in PRAMO already let’s not put on a show
And um rigging the standings in your favor is against the rules
Once again you guys do the same thing, poor performance and fall back to rigging your way into top 8
This is tournament discussion is it not?
I’m not dealing with clan flaming here
Move on
Everything that’s been posted will stay for wg to see
Then you’ll get your decision
I wonder what top 8 would look like with this change 🤔
I just feel bad for VON, MM and GP who are all close on points to potentially get a spot in Top 8, but they don't have 3 clans to choose players from to help them get there.
The team is registered tho last I checked?
So if they go back to their respective clans you guys will drop this huh?
Why did snowfox and spacedawg leave in the first place
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE#7152 has been warned.
Well would you look at that ladies and gents i have taken this pic 10 seconds ago
Because teams can’t unregister huh?
Lol
Even if they went back its still very sketchy that you guys would do something like that in the first place?
Yes you can unregister after all this bad PR
Will they unregister is the question stay tuned to find out
how can I watch lives?
It’s not a rule anywhere
simo_vito[-BA]#3648 has been warned.
You can try to imply it under 11
Doesn’t change what you are doing
But it’s up to Rexy
You know exactly what you are doing
@thorn shale I can send you a DM with the links to streams, seeing as you're getting warned for asking a tournament related question. 😂
No, he’s been warned to change his pfp
Sup
乃乇Ꮆㄖ几乇#5211 was muted
O, I just assumed, poor guy was just wanting links to streams and then got yeeted.
@peak terrace ok send please
I feel like I'm the nubbest here
Are you in charge of the tournament tj?
You are making a behind the scenes arrangement for a Purpl player and a Pramo player to give tickets to Scamo
Busted
And by doing this, Scamo can cheat their way into two ticket tournaments
It’s pretty black and white to me
We are not in charge of the tournament, but we are participating in it. We are only stating our opinions in the relevant channels.
And the rule is pretty clear @craggy sapphire
Scamo as a team didn’t earn two tickets
So for Pramo player and Purpl player to join them and give two tickets so that Scamo can have better chance to make top 8 is clearly violating Rule 11
Crickets chirping
@civic vine yep 😄
@timber grotto we aren’t going to name and shame here
Because there is no counter to what people have been saying
Other than there’s no rule saying one player can only participate for one team
Sure
Oh lord....
F
"Collusion shall include, but is not limited to, the following cases"
to be fair if this was the case, there would have been a clan lock just so there would be no discussion about it, but there isn’t one.
So if another clan did this, what wld happen? Just really curious
we’re still free to recruit and snipe players from other clans that have tickets. there’s no such penalty for that
Whose we?
@tall python test tanks arent allowed to be played in training rooms but last time i checked there is no lock preventing you from pressing ready up in them
I thought you were Pramo lead, not Scamo lead? @tall python
You are talking about sniping and recruiting people to Scamo?
@floral python they tell you that you aren’t allowed to play them in any other mode besides normal pubs. so
It applies to every clan. No?
yeah but like u said there isnt a lock, is there @tall python
There isn’t a rule where you can only play for one clan
That rule has been explicitly written in before
Doesn’t mean its not against the rules
It’s not there this time
And I like the whataboutism from Pramo here
Actually no. It’s quite different
We aren’t talking about moving clans being prohibited
Maybe he got poached
We are talking about Rule 11
Happens a lot lately doesn’t it @toxic lintel
@thorn shale i’m talking about anyone who would want to snipe players from any clan lol
^
Because wg doesnt expect teams to change. Because its not beneficial for a team to change during one of the most important tourneys of the years.
When you're using snowfox and space as tools to help a feeder hit top 8, it's not very cash money of u
Haven’t you read the rules by wg? Every clan is separate now
^
Lol
-rgn- has nothing to do with rgn right?
@floral python not using test tanks is a known rule. players moving from clans to clans is something that isn’t clearly stated. people can get sniped and there isn’t no penalty for that.
😂
Wait what? 😂
Um... what
Rgn hasnt done anything of the sort.
And we are proud that our RGN teams don’t need to share people who have tickets so that they can qualify for Top 8
lol
I’m amused how the topic has been turned away
Please don't name and shame my clan, thank you.
Let’s have a reminder
We had zero roster changes but ok
Wow I never knew scamo could create tickets out of thin air
A Pramo player who has registered with Pramo team all Twister suddenly goes to Scamo and gives them tickets. Purpl player who who has registered with Purpl team all Twister suddenly goes to Scamo.
Santa clause of course
Such a mysterious happenstance
There’s no rule saying that you are not allowed to leave clans throughout the tournaments.
Lol
Its not the leaving thats the problem. Its the collusion behind it
yes but there is a rule saying agreement between players to provide advantages to one team are prohobited
Ok but that’s quite vague don’t you think. He could have left for a number of different reasons
I’d ask how you prove collusion
But I’ll just skip over that
Everyone has made their points quite clearly
There’s not much else to say
Leave a clan thats in 1st place to give TWO tickets to a team that will miss a tourney day. Both clans being under the same family? That does seem normal doesnt it
^
Three people left void for rgn while void won pro season
But it’s ok @craggy sapphire they will keep claiming innocence
Anyways
Where’s fadoo btw. Haven’t seen him on much
Remember how much you complained about PNCR trying to have one of their teams throw in twister 18 top 3? It's interesting that youre looking the other way about this @chilly hemlock
I’m not
RGN was still a finalist, and a team that prior to the pro final loss, hadn’t lost a game. Scamo are struggling to make top 8
@toxic lintel he’s great, just been busy with school
o maj so many chats...
Lol is that so
@timber grotto it actually happened but ok lol. shows how much you know. there are people from those teams that will speak for how that night actually went down
Our teams will be unregistered and put back into the original rosters. I appreciate everyone’s concerns
Everyone can relax now
guess we will just have to snipe players from other clans with tickets instead :v shame shame shame
What does that have to do with anything? 😂
It doesn’t
Moving on
_tanner [PRAMO]#2330 was muted
So who’s going to Russia ?
Lol
True, but they are close neighbors, kinda like pramo and scamo? 😂😂
Don't forget pram0
Didn’t even know that was a thing
How many pramo clans are there?
There’s a Slamo too
@civic vine 4 officially. Unofficially idk
mmmmm
Hm
Framo is up and coming
@lilac bolt what do you need?
As for what aphropanda said, GP and R are not alone, yesterday we making a train, being that nobody helps us, what better way to help each other
Wrong channel
@lilac bolt
Talk about this in #off-topic-discussion
And change your pfp @lilac bolt
at times like this, i wish megu told me about this sooner
Tanks Rolling hsn't seen so far in Ascents: E100, M48, Leo1, Chinese td, E4, 4202, vk72,
I just named the closest 3 from Top 8, didn't mean to offend if you felt that way. ❤ @terse perch
Challenge Accepted @winter swallow 👀
someone plays a 7x 4202 strat they cna have a medal.
bet
Also, did you mean Chinese TD, or Chinese Heavy? I feel like the 113s have been used quite often, at least on EU. 🤔
*td - 113 been played a lot
Perfect, I've been waiting to play mine. 113G 👌
No, but I was not offended by my friend, I just mentioned it, because many help each other, in training and that kind of thing, if they help each other, because I think I already left my differences with gp and since yesterday we started help each other, I had bad luck, in the first days of winning the ticket I had no electricity and my team left without stopping: they lost everything @peak terrace np ❤
we are nubs xd
That's awesome to see and hear, Sava. It's nice to see clans set their differences aside and evolve in competitive together. Especially on NA. 👌
Of course, friend, and I understood why remember the time where we trained together,do you remember? When R grew up and you in PNCR helped us. There I understood that the community can help each other. thx Aphropanda owo
@winter swallow 7 121s better tbh
@winter swallow actually e7 has taken all of those tanks except the m48
Not quite sure if the 113 gft and e4 was played on stream tho..
Yeah cinderellas tank of choice
And there goes Scamo
If it wasnt played on stream for ascents it was definitely there in top echelon
wz121added to list
E4 is good, don’t h8
If you don't run one I will be so disappointed
🐷
🙈
Leo 1 very bad with the whole spam of foch and 215bs,its HEland for the enemy.
smh - some teams running 50bs on EU knowing full well enemy team will have 1-3 155's. I tell you, some people are mad.
Very cool
why is NA in the timezone iti s? this is some cowdoodoo right here
I'm so tired lol - I can feel my brain melting. I mean, is that physically possible? IDK. Feels like it tho
@winter swallow bruh I believe in you
slaps self violently in face - chugs coffee - holds eyelids open with matchsticks
@graceful jetty @winter swallow I’ve played all those tanks in tourney. Like all tourneys I got one of those tanks to play streamed or not, I’ve played all smh. Join @leaden belfry in E7 and I show you meta
He just added wz121 so u need to play that now @tender tundra
Also rolling have u seen a 121B yet?
Smh is this a personal attack? Watch me
what is slowmode?
A curse upon my very soul.
@winter swallow join E7 for enlightenment
haha, u watched tom and jerry as a youngin? @winter swallow
this is our about 5th time we’ve played winter mal in like three tournaments against pramo and rgn, I didn’t know there was only one comp map available, but o well, like I’ll play winter mal against pramo in a best of 99 if that wat it takes to make it to Minsk, buuuuuut umm
It’s probably ‘true’ random map selection.
They cut out canyon and himmelsdorf and out in middle burg and winter mal, I cri, boring gameplay is ahead😫
should use 7 grilles on himmels and go D
Oof my eyes
Im sad
@terse perch i pat
this tournament make me stressed
Ya winter mal is really getting to me 😂😂😂
Is tourney streaming tonight ?
I hope so so that even the viewers get sick of winter mal
My head is broke
Lel
I will make commentary extra good to offset maps
Lol yus u make it up to us with ur op commentary
lol
@sleek basin what’s the deal with [RGN] and [-RGN-]? I noticed a couple days ago and was confused :/
Wats your question sorry?
@odd wolf two teams from same clan had to split because of one team per clan in top 8 policy
Aaaah. Thank u @wicked snow
^^^^^
Dumb rule imo
@sleek basin luv u (when you don’t shoot me in tourneys) I luv you all the time. Just had to make it topical.
Haha, I like getting shot by snowfox too❤️(in tourneys obviously)
Well I got kicked from my own clan cuz wg, but they are just trying make things better so oh well it’s the thought that counts as mom says
We still love you Tomie
Lov u too my fake rgn counterpart ❤️❤️😜
No you're fake rgn smh
No u
NGR is the real one tho @idle basalt
Same on EU its always winter Mali for some reason
Lmao I love winter map as much as the next guy....buuuuut I like variety uc 😏 @chilly hemlock
7 foch this time?😉
Ya we didn’t bring enough last time, that’s why we lost 6 not enough
winter mal is my favourite map
I believe its random however it's like crates u know , u have 0,2 drop chances for Mayan, 0,2 for alpen ect , then 90% winter mali
We should change quick to counter that
Lol rg
07 Tomie
Oseven 🙂
Yeah, it’s ‘true’ random as opposed to “random”
Lmao
False
I need to stay on topic 👀
@winter swallow thank you for staying up late and streaming NA. I hope you get some rest now
🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️
v welcome @chilly hemlock - always a pleasure to see the likes of PRAMO and RGN in action o7

Hi
Hmmmm
alexxnavee _MVP_#2476 has been warned.
For challenge tour (and pro) is it the same team 3+7 entered who plays all days or can players be changed?
And how are the 2 groups distributed in challenger (suppose there are 2 groups of 8) by wr or how?
I believe it's 3+7 from that stage onwards 🤔 can't imagine they'll have everyone register a team (almost) every day for it
Its quite though to keep so many days free
Wg basically expects you to commit to having no life for 9 days, to have a chance at 100k dollars 😅
High possibility in challenge 🤣
@leaden belfry chance at $50k split 7 ways minimum - tax. Say $5k per person.
which is roughly €4,500.00
wonder what 6th place is
btw - I predicted EU last night. Called results of 18 fixtures. I got 14/18 right. That is 77.77% success rate.
Called overall winner and playoff winner wrong on stream >.<
@winter swallow that's more than I earn in 9 days, though 🙃
and don't forget - the top of the Professionals also gets money prizes
$200 per player for a full squad of 10
Equal split ftw
@winter swallow No faith into us 😢
lol
I want an official apology for this very bold statement of us not winning 😄
.
@thorn shale you can request an apology when you meet him in Minsk 🙃
Krep then i have to win first
More than you get in nine days for sure.
But I think twister winners have "a bit" more work behind than 9 days. 😄
yeah definitely more work than 9 days (or more panic just because you don't have members for offlines 😂, just like me last year)
Way more than 9 days 😦
@silver vapor WG have to invite me first 😔
@thorn shale many faiths in you - just I felt like RA1D would win it lol
Tbf, those were really good games. To my disappointment however, the stream of PKonBlitz was not very professional and was focusing more on some random stuff that nobody is interested in
he likes to watch the airplanes passing by
hmm "professional" is a strict word that doesn't apply to everyone
I was surprisingly entertained about the production quality and the caster commentary. Not very good from a quality standpoint but entertaining in its surprise factor
@low badger who
Pk. Overall I think he did pretty gud @silver vapor
🤔
X
Ra1d tries to cap A on Fort and Carnage blind shots every position to decap. Decap at the very last second PK: Nothing happening
¯_(ツ)_/¯
technically he is right ya know, no caps has been taken = nothing happening
🤔
:( I'll try to some action in next stream with great Commentary. Improving English and other things. ( I quit 1 year ago, so now I have experience of 2 weeks streaming Tournaments again) I am not best , but I'll try to make it works for me. But Rolling and Amaunet are OP, my stream is 0 infront of them .
I'll try to be more focused on startgies teams are using but it's still hard for me to understand what type of starts they are up to. Never seen such great strategies and moves from EU clan
@distant tusk tbh besides the part where you try hard to make jokes your stream is fine.
@green plover Thanks I'll try hard in next stream and copy Rolling and Amaunet. I also copy Bushka and Sk8, but still learning to make it works for me. Apologies again
Nothing to apologize about, you're still learning to stream.
Thanks for understanding and giving me chance to learn. :)
Thx for streaming PK, keep it up. Your english is fine and i enjoyed watching
@fringe galleon thank you so much, that's the best words for me . I love when people appreciate me
@chilly terrace how does pro/challenge tour work?
- When are tickets sent to all in clan?
- What if player leave or join after tickets sent?
- How many groups will be in pro/challenge tour?
- What is the seeding system in the tours?
@vital obsidian
- After all tournaments with cups. We won't announce the exact date.
- If player isn't in clan at the moment of giving out of tickets, he won't receive anything.
- Check out regulations. They've been already posted on forum.

@vital obsidian He will.
@chilly terrace Will every player from the clan receive a ticket that is only applicable in a team created by that same clan?
Or are they able to go out of the clan and create a different team?
I think he already answered, the player can go out and keep tkt
But only qualified clans are able to create a team
@thorn shale I've posted regulations above. If you are going to participate in Professional or Challenger tournament, it will be better for you to read them. Answering to your question: "Only teams which represent clans from Top Echelon are allowed to participate in this tournament." - it's line from regulations.

When will the underdogs get a chance to make it further, without facing eg in the quarter finals
I understand why u want to make it "best" versus "worse" so that the "top teams" make it to the finals, but if have no chance to progress because u are facing one of the finalists in the quarter finals every time and its kinda unfair, for the teams battling for 16-7 positions
Idk, git gud @pallid raven ?
@pallid raven👌
hard to beat the finalists, not even u could
L1t only lost against top 8 Teams and is not in the top 16. Other clans like gneis lost against top 20 Teams, but they are in the Top 16. Sounds fair...gg wg for a mm where stats decide about your Position and not CW skill
Lxn + t1l, a German team that won against r2k but is not in top 16, because we lost against carna, eg, fbi and nav1n
So u lost 4 of your 5 matches and conclude u deserve to be in top 16?
Our Quarter Finals: Souls, eg, nav1n, immor
Gneis: 2 Teams wich are not in Top 32 and teshr (rank 20)
Fair would be a random mm or a mm based on ranked in Hall of Fame
😂 😂
U can’t say I m not good enough to beat some teams but I deserve a chance to go to finals
L1t is in the top 16 check the leaderboard , unless u dont have a tiket for tomorrow
if u saved your ticket for saturday, you maybe would have made more cups 🤔
Just because you beat 1 of the pros it doesnt say anything , its bo3 anything can happen
but many teams in top 16 didnt get ticketss for saturday i think l1t are safe to stay in top 16
Being top 8 qualifies u for online finals, right? What’s the point of being 9-16?
Wild ticket
challengers tour
@half urchin we would have the worst wr so we would have palyed against carna, eg or sth like that like yesterday
@median mantle we are better than some Top 16 clans...we beat most of then in tournaments
@gentle sierra @remote tinsel immor will get 613 points tomorrow and we have no Ticket
and if you look down kothers in this list cant play staurday expect immor but if immor get top 16 they will have more than 2200 points
@echo wagon sure thing, butt less teams results maybe in a better posi
Immor also didnt have tickets for 2 ticketed tourneys , if they manage to pass u then its your fault
I would have expected KRKS to be in top 4. What happened to them?
What self respecting clan would field a challengers team and twister team?
Instead of two clans compeiting for two twister spots
@gentle sierra look at their opponents and at ours...we habe carna, they teshr...fair
its all about wr have better wr get ez groups
🤷
well wg check only best 7 wr to make it fair btw all team who have 7 players and who have 9 so why not look maybe last 10 battles of players wr so make it fair btw old players and rerolls
@remote tinsel thx
still this year system is better than old year did help good clans like fbi to be in top 8 even they have 66 wr team only if that was with old system they could get carna raid or loca and maybe go out from first stage
Will agree on that
What if u are virtually top 1 according to recent win rate and still lose vs carna eg etc ?
Even though it is a 2 week long qualifying process
you can never make perfect system @median mantle and wr not all
Perfect system doesn’t exist but current one is probably the most fair we can have
Double elemination would fix the Problem...singel elemination with wr based mm is the Problem
true een in un1 we lost one ticket tourney because of ammorack but yeah we dont deserve to be in top 8 with the way we played so i think its fair system so far
also i think the 8 best teams on eu made it to top 8
WR is a lazy, but practical (?) way to make groups. Ideally/theoretically, there’s a better system to determine, but that would require a lot of variables to track, similar to the WN series for player statistics. And even then, it would not be perfect and there would still be disagreement.
Yea, top 8 is fine, rank 9-20 not.
@flat goblet double elemination groups are the Solution. And that is easy
Playing for 1 month to determine top and middle echelon?
Double elim for what though?
@gentle sierra doesnt Change anything. We are not in Top 16 because we got the Top Teams to early evry tournamemt
yeah 4 weeks qualifiers for 5 days pro/ challenger tour
seems gut
@flat goblet because the lowler tree is not based on wr mm
9-16?
Yes thats what they're doing , obvs
@pallid raven that’s standard comp practice. You should even be doing that in pubs. I don’t see your point.
Spot tanks, rotate accordingly.
if its that easy to copy, make it to top 4 😂
^^
What’s your point? Teams aren’t playing stalemate “strats” by sitting in an area for most of the match and not rotating, and that’s bad? Not quite following.
MoRMa1oS#6974 was banned
🤔
@pallid raven seems like you have rly a lot of experience when it comes to CW. Maybe start experiencing it not just through the streams
He does have experience, which is why I am confused by his claims.
Agree, get back fast Ting
top clans don't need strat sketch
what is stratsketch
Maybe there is a tactic behind the relocations?
just say go A or C and kill reds
@pallid raven i see that your experience has done great when you‘ve met us in twister
@pallid raven afaik, whoopzie isn't main caller. And even if he was and that is how that particular team was run, why do you think it's proper to assume that all teams run that way?
The meta rn calls for fast decisions and relocations but I think there is always good to have some map strats to use 🤔
Especially its ascent the tactics are saved for prof and finals maybe???
Just because people dont use strat scetch it doesnt mean teams dont have tactics lol
7 121 rush strat reveal @thorn shale
"Shame its a touch only tournament" ?
I c
I've played with multiple clans as well. Most every clan I've been with has a strat link. Quick tourneys are an exception, where strats will be used very broadly, tanks and whatever are swapped etc. But that's only because they aren't serious tourneys.
It has definitely decreased, probably because there are now less clans taking part
QT is also a way to train
Strats on a strat link are generally only initial position, maybe 1-2 reactions. But it's not possible to predict every outcome, and even less so to memorize or come up with a proper reaction. Training rooms is purely anecdotal evidence. For one, less clans are participating in this big tourney, like you said.
I think too tours every day reduce interest to train
^^
i use paint to make tactics
I like when in tours same maps rerurns it is kinda training
Fishy knows de way
yo, MS paint is actually OP strat maker (top sikrit strat don't share)
@remote tinsel thank you for the big tips man 👍
@flat goblet draw in a blue snake wrapped around the castle and you’re all set
oh yeah, that is the most OP location. claimed the lives of 3 in one match at an offline.
Advanced drawing skills mate 😺 @flat goblet
you mind if we borrow that @flat goblet
Go ahead dawg
@pallid raven its a mobile game ofc im not gonna compare to PC. And even though you are playing like that your clan wouldn‘t stand a chance in a training no matter the control settings
I‘ve spent like so many hours on tactic links with my cotacticians to make tactics i dont need anyone telling me the opposite when they clearly dont know us
Looking to compete in tourneys anyone have openings?
*acknowledged*
@flat goblet hey!!
Why are you leaking my strats?!?!
😡
@vivid citrus I’ll have you know that’s top secret and off limits👀
It’s my strat dumbo
send me mines strat @flat goblet
Give sec, will send later. Should be easy but I am a little busy
I like how CW Experience is always counted in years. Even though I have had so far „only 2 years“ of CW Experience I am far ahead of a lot of players. It literally doesn‘t mean a thing when you learn quicker or are doing so more actively in a shorter period of time
@thorn shale if you play with good players you learn more. I have always played with people I have enjoyed playing with and if that includes playing with below average plays then so be it. If I wanted to I could play competitive on wot pc, but it's not something I want to do, because of the friends I have made in blitz over the years.
Experience may not be important to you, because you have team mates who know how to play, but for the people who have put the work in, it is important.
@pallid raven wow, thinking I need to be carried by my team mates
Since when do you know CARNAGE so well?
TheTingGoes_ESA [-ESA-]#2975 has been warned.
Wow, didn't mean anything against him
Ok. Then move on.
What a pleasant conversation
I lost my last two brain cells reading that conversation
I gained half a brain cell

Anyone want to join a 5-6 tournament
@brave night #tourneys-team-search
Billy_940#0247 has been warned.
O thank
cool
yeah thats pretty cool
@bright tundra thank you 👍
What happend ?
I said that the wr based System in acesment was unfair and is the only reason my Clan is not in top16
Conversation start 22:20 @summer pivot
Agree with Mike. It would work okay if there were more groups (as on ru) but with fewer groups it is rude
of course it's unfair I have a bad wr but I play like a 70% lol
In short, wr based mm is not the way to go.
I think the best way is everyone vs everyone.. so every team has an equal chance
The groups just seemed off on NA to me, but I never did the calculations. Can’t say more than “it look rong”
it will take time but it's fair .. wr sucks
Or a league System...First league 8 Teams, second 8 or 10 Teams
WG learn to design tournaments#5828 has been warned.
Lol that name
Tbh, it's only the seeding mechanism that is screwed up. And also how they want to break clans apart. Those two are sort of the things that Wargaming NEED to improve
Cause it was cleared again:
Thanks @bright tundra
As for changing all the SE to DE, I think it can have a positive impact, and it maybe good for ticketed ascent tournaments, and I'm pretty sure if it's for the sake of finding the better team everyone should be willing to cope with DE tournaments
I still think better seeding is better solution
🙄
I'm not going to guess his age
Lmao
(Suggestions)
#1-Next year for Ascent streamers can see Tournaments till finals.
#2- We are like 3 streamers to cover this big event (EU and NA) and there are alot of professional clans who don't get coverage , please try to get more streamers next time. I know many streamers as I Host Tournaments too who really want to stream but they get no chances(They say it). There are many more whom I don't know too, they are also willing to. Next time a public announcement for streamers would be great so streamers will apply and WG will choose best of best . We need new streamers for these types of online Tournaments so we can see variety of clans.
#3- A channel here too for sharing the official stream of WG.
@chilly terrace
Best regards,
PK
@distant tusk We will follow everything to the finals from Professionals onwards, but we can't for the ascent as the registration closes so late
I think I explained that to you before?
@leaden belfry I said a suggestion for next year , yes you told me this time but I said for next year. I am saying for Ascent Tournaments I know about professionals as you told me.
For that to be different, WG would have to work until after office hours or on the weekend, to ensure we see the finals
I am still editing my message here btw to make it look okay in English and I'll tag rexy
but I do hope the qualifying format will be changed drastically for Spring Tournament >.>
@leaden belfry yeah actually I received messages from fellow content makers and clan leaders for more streamers so I said it as a suggestion
@winter swallow owo i saw your stream, 3 predictions wrong lol. Anyway K1NG manage to beat ND in the semi final, effectively getting into top 8, though massive odds against us. Anyway was wondering if for ur EU stream u would like the replays of the matches in semifinals so u can like show how the final position was obtained??
Sounds good to me.
Send replays of players that survive matches lol and do many damages
kk
Showing replays of other server's games between streaming server x games is actually very good idea IMO.
Agri
Good idea indeed
9 teams in the top 8 on EU. What's gonna happen now?
@median mason -1- get knocked down to Challengers... There is a clear top 8 teams by cups.
Ok
However, that is just my interpretation. @chilly terrace holds official confirmation.
Pawel op
@fathom tiger open
Woooooot
@median mason There will be the Last Chance Tournament tomorrow where they will be able to get more cups.
@chilly terrace nvm. I just read the rules
@chilly terrace is the tourney just for the 2 tied clans or for all teams ?
Do the rest need to play ?
All teams from middle and top echelon
@gentle sierra For any teams from clans which are placed in the Top and Middle echelons. Not mote than 2 teams from clan.
placing by what result page
who is playing what
where are the rules? if not playing is there a risk of score board changes
Doubt it , first place gives 59 cups
where do u see that
In game, last chance tourney tomorrow , in rewards
Its only one team per clan
Rexy says 2
Ah ye nvm lol
Maybe just read tournament description it’s all written down
And he also say the last chance is for teams in top and middle but there are other teams registered 👀
Atm 7 registered and only one of those are from middle echelon
Mates and especially @chilly terrace @lime glen @winter swallow @leaden belfry
I wanted to share some thoughts and my feedback about EU server Twister qualification stage and the system in place this year. Intent of this message is certainly not to open debate with any of the qualified teams, but to show (to my eyes) some weakness of this year seeding and qualifying system in the perspective of future pro tournaments qualifications.
First of all congrats to the top 8 teams that qualified to the Pro tournament. I truly believe these are the best 8 teams currently on EU server.
Still I feel absolutely not comfortable about challenger tournaments output. I have seen that @pallid raven raised the same point yesterday and I wanted to feed his statement with figures.
First key point I need to highlight about middle echelon qualification it was all about getting tickets
With 4 tickets, whatever your later results, you were insured to receive 3240 cups at the end of the qualification stage which put you to 9th position on the actual leaderboard.
So first conclusion, WG could have limited this 2-weeks long qualification stage for challenger to actually playing 4 games. All was about winning the 4 ¼ finals and the tickets. I think this is already showing a weakness of the system.
Then I see a second problem. These 4 matchs were incredibly influenced by the seeding system (strongest-weakest). Between the qualified and the first eliminated teams (L1V and KRK-S) I felt like there was just too much gap to be fair.
To make my mind I took all challengers qualified + first eliminated teams and checked against who they won (or loss) their ¼ finals and just computed the actual strengths of these teams based on their final rankings. In order to make a "ticket difficulty" rating.
Without undermining credits of the qualified teams, some just received a master help from the seeding and matchmaking system. And some (worst case being L1T then KRK-S the first teams out...) just not.
The lowest the difficulty of ticket the harder it was.
I think that’s the issue of having so few teams associated to single elimination format. Also that’s the issue with the seeding system fully winrate based. We have in KRK-S team some T10 super unicum with green winrates. Do we deserve to face EG- in ¼ final as a consequence ? I’m quite sure WG can engineer some better algorithm focusing on 30 days for example or CW results.
I am also thinking double elimination makes quite long tournaments but at the end helps to sort out teams in a much finer way.
Thanks for reading (omg that is super long :))
@forest matrix certainly this year’s qualifying and format wasn’t perfect. I think that it was a good way of getting a more accurate top 8 but it still needs some work. Thank you for taking the time to make a chart and back up your story with actual facts and stats
Imo, there's many things flawed about the qualification system used this time around. But, I am in favour of strongest vs weakest startup, but even that doesn't always go as intended. Today, R2K had their first match vs Apa, after which they immediately met Carna, and the winner of that were likely to face Raid (Raid lost to W1N, but that was the bracket). Point is that it doesn't always seed as you'd like.
Strongest weakest isn't perfect, but if I recall, the first or second twister cup, they didn't use this system, and it meant that clans that really have no chance at all made it through, because most of the strong clans were in another group together.
There is, unfortunately, no perfect system for seeding. Especially for teams that have been around for a very long time - and thus have tons of battles - the average sets you back =(
IMO keep The seeding of The first tournament The same and then on base The seeding on your teams cups
My main issue with this season's way of qualifying is the whole ticketed business. We've seen, on all Mondays and Tuesdays, that once people get a ticket, they just start to derp around. Because of the limited amount of registered teams, and the byes that have been given, quite a few clans only had to win one match to get a ticket
Not to mention that the qualification stage actually has more days of battle than the actual professionals tournament. That's just a bit strange imo
Also on Tuesday and Saturday - especially this week, people didn't really take it all that seriously, because as long as you participated and won like the first round - and maybe not even that if you had a bye before - you were likely to gather enough cups
We've seen some clans try their absolute hardest, but imo, the system used for qualification this year invites a lot of derping around, and not having to show the back of your tongue to make it through, so to speak
I assume that you don’t face all clans twice in the professional tournament like the last years which is a bit of a shame imo
No, there's just one round of round Robin this year, but it is Bo7
But I'm talking about just the qualifiers - as those are finished now
I'm trying to hold off on judging too harshly on the rest of it before it's happened, though I definitely have my concerns regarding that too >.>
I think you’re right @leaden belfry
Ditch the tickets and just have 8 qualifying tournaments instead
That way one mistake doesn’t kill you completely
^ that. All with equal amount of cups. Makes it a lot more fair and likely to be serious
Scamo missed one ticket tournament because of a bad Monday tournament and that ended them essentially
And don't host other tournaments on the same that, as that severely limits the registration of teams for the qualifiers >.>
👆 Tru
The teams that care about twister wont miss the tournaments though🤷
I think amaunet’s idea is to make each tournament bigger
@leaden belfry can you vc?
In Asia, there were generally like 3 matches, including the finals, because of the few registrations
I can, one sec. What channel?
Any
Am there
^^^^
I'd suggest a halfway house. Play 6 non-ticketed tournaments with equal cup scorings. Have the last 2 tournaments accessible only to X number of teams that scored over Y number of cups.
Now, I'll say I was actually 100% for the current format. Having seen the point drafted by @forest matrix , my position has changed and noting his analysis, I would support a revision of the process for the next major tournament series. - Seriously Shogun, a very well put together arguement. Clear, logical and diplomatic. Much respect.
There is one mistake, ESA got only 3 tickets. They lost to us in first tournament
Niceee
@thorn shale @thorn shale
I love getting RGN to face everytime my team gets into the big Ascent tourneys...
Way
- Winrate based groups are a good idea but it has its limitations. L1T’s example from EU was egregious. I saw on some server someone laughing at them crying. I was curious and looked at their match history: they never got a chance to play against teams at “challenger” (9-16) level, rather they played scrubs (and always won) or “pro” (1-8) level teams and had a pretty damn good record against them.
Winrate distinguishes adequately between a 47% team and a 55% team, but it’s not fit for the purpose of determining a more likely winner between a 62% team and a 67% team. It discriminates harshly against some of the game’s best and most dedicated players, who started off mediocre and turned good - and of course rewards rerolls.
what does that have to do with tournaments, though?
is that what he wants to by from twister money?
@chilly hemlock happy to stream you =) Fun games, overall =)
It’s what I want to buy with twister money
reminds me of this saying... "the only difference between men and boys, is the prize of their toys" 😂
@bright tundra Agreed. but though flawed, it works better than just leaving it random
it does invite rerolling though, just to get the stats up, which is also a bad thing
That’s good for business though.
Any measurement metric that encourages padding or rerolling is a bad metric
- from what I can tell, as with previous years, 2019 qualifying format is pretty much “one size fits all”. In a very densely populated server (Ru) the system works quite well because that’s the scale for which it was developed. On NA and EU the scale seems to have worked in such a way that a the redemptive element of a two week pre qualifying tournament didn’t quite work. I hazard to think how it is in Asia. I would suggest a Rating based tournament system in conjunction with double elimination. Such a system would have, for instance, rewarded L1T for their respectable results vs EU’s most elite clans.
Rating battles created it's own specific metric for mm, then why can't tournament receive the same thing?
Make it sort of like it resets every year after twister cup, and uses QT for metric gain or loss, den uses that for seeding in tournaments like these
Two week pre-qualifying to establish rating (clans required to play in sufficient amt of tourneys) + a last chance seeded weekend tournament to get final 8 (give the top 2 teams from pre-q automatic final 8 spots).
I am surprised to see the tournament switches from Bo3 (ascent) to Bo7 (Pro/challenger). Not a logical leap.
@leaden belfry @winter swallow I watched today’s steams. Gj to you both for such dedicated coverage, esp of the late night Na Stuff.
Good luck to all teams as well. 🤙
thank you =) Always great fun to do. Utterly exhausted now though 😂
Thanks @bright tundra o7 -
Yeah I understand that this is one of the best ways to do a tourney, but it’s not like our team can really change our WR to get paired up with other teams instead of RGN 1 and 2. It only took one bad game from us to take us out of the 8 spots yet other teams were more fortunate
Good games to all teams, streams were also fantastic and entertaining to watch and goodluck to the top 8 teams in professional. 🙂
So is there gonna be a last chance tournament for any of the servers?
jr#8115 has been warned.
There is a last chance tour on eu but it seem to be a tour for anyone interested, not only for top and middle echelon clans.
there is last chance in NA but it gives like 55 for first place so wont really make a difference, also, every regions leaderboards are updated besides NA, just an fyi
@floral python it will be updated later today
@green plover thx
@winter swallow thanks :)
@fringe galleon thanks I just had the correction in the new table
- for better accuracy I used the number of earned cups instead of ranking for computing the "difficulty of tickets" rating. Makes it even more accurate and meaningful
this is just crazy how unfair it is honestly. Cause of seeding -1- or APA had like nothing to do to go to challenger while some others (L1T KRK-S) had to play top echelon level from 1/4 final on
@chilly terrace considering all top echelon teams will not send a second team in challengers (I doubt any will actually send a team) could we imagine getting back some clans in the challengers tournament to mitigate this seeding effect?
for the professional tournament, the WR of the team wont affect which teams you face or will it? i mean in the end, we will have to fight all the teams yes?
Yeah you will play against every team once and get points or cups or whatever @velvet dome Based on those points top 4 is being determined and in the first games of the finals top 1 will play against top 4 and top 3 vs top 2 since its the strongest vs weakest format based on the points of the round robin, not on the wr
owo ok thanks. also i saw that top 3 teams can send their clan logo to WG within a set time frame so that they could change it
Pls tell w1n and nav1n to not take Part in Last Chance 🙏
Thats the Ticket for l1t to get in Middle Middle echolon
@velvet dome first you'll need to get into top 4
Then win at least 1 match in top 4 to secure top 3. Den it's clan logo profit time
ya i know, taking it 1 step at a time
is last chance tournament for every clan in top 8? and does is take part tonight?
seem anyone can enter last chance and yes it is tonight
or maybe wg will start kick out registered teams which not in top 16 🤔
btw why is the tour for 256 teams if only about 16 should be able to compete according to rules 🤔
yes, apparently any team can participate in the last chance tournament, but the reward for ranking in the pantheon, is limited to 49 cuts for first place, if I'm not mistaken
I am quite sure I read here rexy saying that this tournament would only take place in case of tied teams (occurs) and would only see those teams battling each against the other (cause if anybody can play there is a chance that the tied teams end up with the same result and thus are still tied after the tournament!!)
So I'd bet all teams but W1N and NAV1N will be withdrawn from it
Would be nice to get confirmation on that
Have w1n and nav1n to take Part? @forest matrix
not for the time being I think (lolly part of it)
NAV1N actually applied to registration - not fully registered yet
No 😥
So if W1N and Nav1n play vs each other -1- will be pushed out; if they not play -1- will keep their top8 pos and pro tour will have 9 teams instead of 8
And if they play also L1T will be pushed out from top 16
Yes I take this for sure (it is the intent)
Yea cause logistics is much more complicated if 9 teams in tour
I m pretty sure w1n and nav1n have to play each other in the first round
I quote rexy last Tuesday :
This tournament will be held if some clans in Top or/and Middle Echelon will be on the same place, otherwise this tournament will be cancelled. Only these clan which will be placed in Top or Middle Echelon will be able to participate in Last Chance tournament. **The seeding will be organize by this way that clans which have the same amount of cups will fight at the first round. **The amount of cups will help to win any clan with the same amount of cups, but this amount won't allow you to get round the clan with bigger amount of cups.
Are we and NAV1N the only teams with the same amount of cups?
Yes @formal jetty
yes in EU top and mid echelon
Nav1n and w1n does take part in last chance? Oh no
@vital obsidian Yes, only best result is counted.
@forest matrix In any tournament some teams face against favorites in early rounds. Unfortunately, it happens. Every big tournament we face some players which don't agree with system and count it unfair. We don't count current system unfair. Maybe this system has some disadvantages, but generally it works well.
@echo wagon And we'll exclude L1T from leaderboard in this case due breaking regulations.
And we? What do you mean?
I just checked the leaderboard and I see no chance for L1T to qualify to the middle echelon
@chilly terrace can any top 16 clan play in the last chance or is it only for w1n vs navin
@chilly terrace the System is fair? Pls explain that to me.
@vital obsidian Any clan from top-16 can participate, but clans which are placed on the same place will be play against each other in the first rounds.
How can a System where your rank is decided by Overall wr and not by skill in CW fair?
Tx 👍
@chilly terrace thanks for having a look but sry you count it as fair while I demonstrated it wasn't. Or at least with huge side effects that you can't just erase like this.
Please take some time discussing the matter on Monday cause I spent some time setting up the demonstration based on facts and figures.... and I feel a bit frustrated receiving such a feedback.
this based on winrate can quickly have these limits, for example with rerolls created especially for tournaments.
Not only you @forest matrix
I will Support you in your fight for fair tournaments
-1- had it super easy
WR does not account for your team ability in a tournament scene. anyone who have watched FEAST vs -ID- at last Twister Cup Online Finals will agree with it.
We won against r2k, -1-, gneis (3 Times 2-0), immor and we are below them...this is your Definition of fair?
VeRy FaIr
this is a hypothesis of reflection, why not try a draw for tournaments completely random, without relying on the winrate. Like this everyone has a fair chance at startup.
Cause you might have strong teams against each other and weak teams against other
^^^
the issue with the current system is that it's "Not fair enough" for some teams that got heavily disadvantaged by the seedings.
System worked for top 8 but not that much for top 16 on eu at least
@echo wagon @forest matrix Teams in spreadsheet didn't get top-16, because they couldn't win important matches. That's it. If anyone says, that his team is strong, he must be ready to prove it.
@lone crown Let me see at least one example in past tournaments, where "rerolling" helped team to win
😂 to be in the 16 you have to win against the best team in the world 😂 😂
Oh l1t has only beaten r2k, -1- etc. so not worth to get in top 16.
Why not make tournament based on dmg/tier or sth like this.
@chilly terrace it is not a matter of getting bad luck and facing favourites. It is a matter of how matches are populated.
We do not like to reroll, we play old accounts, and we privilege current performance to carreer statistics.
The current system send our players versus top European teams right of the bat most of the case. This is a fact and not luck related.
Let’s face it, I think we definitely are in the top 16, but the guys will always probably loose vs EG most of the time their first match.
Below stats one of our top team players. Very average carreer stats, but top current performance. Still we are not consider favourite and face big teams directly.
#bringbackoldsystemwithbo5-bo7infinals
@waxen otter because it still doesn't fix that fact that there will be teams that gets disadvantaged by the fact that you're looking at his "career" stats not recent stats that reflects the player the most
@silver vapor maybe combine it
@chilly terrace in double elemination the strong Teams play against each other and the bad wr Teams, but At the end the team with better CW skill get to the next Stage
oh rite, there is this on the WG official page for stats, why not actually USE THIS THING INSTEAD OF CAREER WR because I spent 10k battles skrubbing and now I have a 62% career wr
We are not trolling here. We are trying to make a point based on facts and issues old clans with a track record are facing. Please at least consider it.
i agree with you Garbo
Same
@chilly terrace the best Text you could now whrite is: Sry krkn and l1t for your mm in the tournaments. We will dicuss the Problems and next season there will be an imprved System.
^^ lol sad but true
There is no ideal way of seeding though
This is as close to perfect as it comes
30 day stats isn't an option either, as it's -very- prone to rigging beforehand
Double elemination will fix this Problem @leaden belfry
Do easy
They have to go with -something-
That's lengthen every tournament with like at least an hour more
What'd solve it is bigger tournaments with more teams so that good teams don't meet the strongest almost instantly
Groups of 4? Best 2 get a Ticket
We are just making our point here Ama. We are not just criticising without arguments.
I know, I'm giving you my thoughts back. I know the system is far from perfect, but with the options there are, strongest weakest is unfortunately the best option there is
@echo wagon Some team will have to face them anyway.
@reef trail The problem is that you count that you deserve to be in top-16, but the current system is not.
@echo wagon And qualifiers with DE system will be holding for ages.
@silver vapor Because after some time we will see another player who will be upset that CW system based on results in random battles. If we change the system, we will change it in more suitable way.
@reef trail I don't think that you are trolling, I think that you are upset by your defeat and trying to blame the system in it.
@leaden belfry then you have to change the whole System. There are solutions. We are s big Community, we will find the perfect one
There is no perfect system. There will always be unhappy people and people that feel wronged
I much prefer the old qualifying system, but that was flawed in its own way too
@echo wagon Thank you for your advice, but we have nothing to apologize for.
Just make finals for old system be bo5 at least 🤷
@gentle sierra 👍
👍
I like that the finals have more battles, but I would prefer a 2 round Round Robin at least, and the battles spread over more days to allow more breathing space (and training time)
One thing I do feel WG did -really- well this time around is the map choices for the final stage. The grand finals have maps that aren't used in the finals before it -at all-, and there's very little repetition
^^ gonna be a tough week
Playing 7 days out of 9 is, imo, nuts and shouldn't happen
I sleep with Blitz next to me
With 2 bo7 matches per day 😂
My weekend so far has been sleep, stream, eat, sleep. It's going to be worse next weekend and the whole week after that 😂
@chilly terrace i am not upset no. We have other things to do as well don’t worry for us. We are just stating facts. We ve been in the top 16 in last seasons, and our team was at least as good as the previous ones. We came with numbers to support why we think the mm can be slightly improved. You don’t even want to consider it.
@gentle sierra but no pressure. If you win 4-0, you've at least 3 matches less to play ;)
True , but considering how close the competition on eu is dont see that happening often 😂
Oh don't think so negatively 🙃😂
@chilly terrace make a survey for All twister top 20 Players. Lets See what the Players and Teams Think about your "fair und best" System ever
Yes
+the closer the match the better it is 👌
@gentle sierra where is fox and Karol op duo, they will carry LOCA to twister 💪
Ariana + karol op u mean @green plover
@gentle sierra for me, as streamer and watcher, I love tiebreakers. The pressure, the beautiful gameplay, more tournament games (instead of replays), it makes the tournament for me.
But I do imagine it's somewhat less fun for the players 🤔😅
@gentle sierra ah forgot he changed his name
@chilly terrace we are not seeking an apology from WG because there is no reason for that. We are just expressing our opinion on the current system. I would just like for my part, that for the next time, the system will improve a little more, and for you to see how you can do that.
I wouldnt mind it if matches were spread out between more days @leaden belfry
Yeah, same. I'm lucky I have no life atm and can stream a ton, but oof. And it's worse for you, as you have warming ups and training and tactical meetings and all of that
U got eliminated early because of seeding based on wr but u would have lost sooner or later vs those top teams so what’s the point of all of it @lone crown ?
Just bring the old system back!
He means that if he had been seeded against less strong teams at the start they'd have made top 16 easy, @median mantle
Kraken had the bad luck to meet the strongest ones fairly early on in multiple tournaments
Which didn't allow them to get the cups they would have gotten vs other teams
@leaden belfry not only krkn...l1t got the same Teams or stronger teams
Yes
I know, but I'm using Kraken as example because that's the one WSO is addressing directly
We had the strongest Teams in quartefinals of all top 20 Teams, this is not fair
@leaden belfry i sas the one telling on stream Hey sweet😂👌
@keen ice I saw 😘
I can understand the frustration but 1. Who cares about being top 15 th or 17 th 2. What about improving 3. How can they pretend to be a top team if they need an easy matchup to make it top 16? @leaden belfry
@median mantle
@median mantle I think a lot of people care, as top 16 still has a chance to go to the offline in the EU server
Yes and? Don’t pretend u are a top team if u can’t beat another top team @echo wagon
We beat immor, First, gneis, r2k, gneis only won against Teams below rank 20 @median mantle
They're not saying they're top 4, @median mantle, but that they're top 16. And they have consistently shown that in the past. The system was changed drastically and they're giving their feedback for that
U know, we say that for wg. After all having kraken in a tournament adds a bit of glamour and that ‘je ne sais quoi’. We make a tournament sexy, and that s all that matter!
😎😉
😂
@median mantle I do not question the ranking, but the fact is that some have benefited from a qualification directly in the quarter finals, and these are only the big clans, and we played against them every time for two Kraken teams lined up each time, and losing in the 1/4 final did not allow us to have a ticket for Thursday or Saturday.
@median mantle I think u dont get it
I think this wouldn't have been a problem if more teams had registered, and if the tournament wasn't ticketed on thursday and Saturday
I would much prefer a round of tournaments with no tickets, equal amount of cups on all days, and then grabbing the top 8, top 16.
It's the tickets that currently make everything skewed
Agree with Amaunet, top 16 still have a chance to go eu offline
@leaden belfry also a good idea
And most importantly - don't hold other tournaments on the same day, as that just limits the amount of teams you'll get severely
@leaden belfry pls tell wg to make a survey about this topic for all top 20 Players
@leaden belfry I think the thing here is also the fact that there is basically no lower level teams (at least in Asia). you'd only see the contenders joining Ascent
Asia is a whole other issue because of that, tbh, but in a way, that worked for Asia, as the top 8 consistently met each other and thus consistently got about the same amount of cups
Oh i get it really, lots of sport use similar system, 1st worldwide meets 16 th, 2nd meets 15 etc and I don’t see those sportsmen complaining and asking to meet low ranked opponent to have a change to make it through @keen ice
Yes no system is perfect but this is not an excuse to not improve the current system!
@median mantle actually, the first round seeding is totally fine, but the 2nd round onwards it's a bit doodoo imo
@median mantle that's not what they're doing. They're giving feedback on an imperfect system and asking wg to keep improving it
It's fine if you don't agree with them, but you can be more respectful in voicing it
@median mantle if your top 16 and facing other below 20 and 8 of that do that and the other 2 mostly get top 8 then u dont get it
there are a few things that are meh here
- the metric used in seeding
- the imbalance of the overall bracketing (for example the upper half of the bracket is harder than the lower half)
- No DE
Ikr @median mantle, let's just remove the 8-16th team from the tournament, as they might never beat the Top 4 teams and not make it through
I don't think DE is an option because of the time consuming factor of it >.>
@leaden belfry you could reduce tue time. Groups of 4 and best 2 get Tickets.
@leaden belfry It only adds 1 game worth of time iirc, as in the entire length of the tournament since you can have multiple games going on at the same time
If u want lol. imo the difference is slight between complaining and asking for <<improvements>> @leaden belfry tbh i ve always seen krks as a top team, one of the most prominent in Eu, and I m kinda surprised they complain / ask to amend the system because they met teams which they could have beat
That'd cause many people to have the same amount of cups, @echo wagon
The thursday and saturday tournamenst will Split them @leaden belfry
@silver vapor even with four teams only, DE would add 2 more games to the table, time wise
But yeah.. I'd much prefer the old qualifying system 😂
Or a mixture of the two
But no ticketed tournaments >.>
I mean the system is better than the last one. you have more chances of groups this way. you can allways have bad luck. If your goal is to get top 16 and you face RA1D in 4 out of 6 groups or so it is unlucky... but better than last year with playing 1 group and get in 2 years 2 times raid lol (imagine plaing 2:2 against then, just lost the more important 2 and they got champion lol)
@median mantle the Problem is: some Top 16 Teams just get no names and Very easy opponents, other get only Top 8 Teams.
@leaden belfry the Old System with bo5 finale
@median mantle I think you're misinterpreting what they're doing. They're giving feedback, and showing the flaw in the system. They're not telling wg to change anything now or to get them to the top 16. They're just showing where the current system is flawed
@viral sigil lol
I think that the current system would work perfectly if there was a bigger playerbase for it
I can imagine it working very well in RU
But EU the flaws start showing, and Asia and NA show it very clearly
Single elemination never works fair
@leaden belfry okay maybe I was wrong, then it adds 2 games to any given size of tournaments compared to SE
@leaden belfry next year the playerbase will be smaler, because so many clans are just frustraded
There'll be new clans
That 1 extra hour though @silver vapor
not in Asia
There's been clans that have stopped, and new names that have popped up. So I don't think it'd be smaller, just different
Everyone vs everyone would be the best.
That takes too long
Nah
@silver vapor what Baron said. As it is, a full ticketed tournament lasts 2, 2.5 hours. Add another hour onto that...
1 month qualifiers to determine the "top"teams that will play against each other for 1 week ?
Not much longer. Make 2 leagues. The winner of the leagues fight each other and the winner of that goes to minsk.
And then there's the people that would get knocked out right before DE kicks in and they'd still find the system unfair
Anyhow, I have to go eat or I'll starve 😂
But no system is perfect, there's no helping that. Feel free to continue this discussion, but please keep it civil and respectful 😘
I guess wg got a good try. they wont sit there like "yeh man hate l1t just put good oponents to them" it is just rly unlucky... but at least we've shown @leaden belfry what we could to against R2K 🙂 (btw... place 3-4 got streamed, the Finals not lol... )
For sure. They were great matches =)
I am more concerned will there be big tours in future too than to find out the perfect quali system
^^
There will never be a perfect system
and i am glad to see in eu there are so many good clans now, much higher level than last year
There is no perfect systems but there are well established systems like in tennis where for instance the 1st worldwide meets the 16th, the 2nd meets the 15th etc and I don’t see the 16th logically beaten by the 1st saying that he is actually more like a 8 so should have met the 9 because reasons and concludes that the system is unfair cause he didn’t make it top 8
Let's just copy fifa world cup system and put it into blitz for the next twister
btw , how can I get veteran role
20k battles and 50% wr
yes I have it. how can I ask for it
PM a moderator that is actually active
@median mantle in Tennis its the leaderboard, in wot a winrate From random games. Match After the leaderboars would also be an option
I was with u in CATS clan before I leave asia and went to EU @silver vapor
super old story lol
me in CATS is like almost 4 years ago 🤔 back when stuff happened lmao
miss those days
Options to imrpove the System:
- A double elemination System that dont take to much time
- Use Position on the Clanleaderboard not wr
- Last years System with bo5/7/9 final
- No Ticket tournaments wird random mm
Just my opinion. There will more options but i prefer them.
What clan leaderboard? Just asking
On the wot Portal, Hall of Fame > clans @dim pivot
But thats from ascent tournaments right?
Sry if i m confused but u want seeding according to clan leaderboard for ascent but the leaderboard comes from ascent?
Yea right
The best thing i can think of for mm is 30 days stats- combination of wr ,avg dmg, avg tier and like amaunet said that ppl can rig 30 day stats,but its still a lot better than being punished for not being a pro player right from the start of the game
I have pretty good 30 day stats and only 61% career wr, but this seeding punishes me coz i wasnt a good player right from the start
@vital obsidian in spring season were more ascent tournaments
Yes but the pro tour clans did not play ascent
Yes so make more ascent tournaments for twister like spring season. And fair team matchups
I would be curious to see if a MM based on 30days stats would make any difference @waxen otter i can be wrong but it’s hard to imagine that a team currently ranked 16-20 has better 30 days stats than CARNA, eg, raid etc
yeah pls a longer qualifier, cause this one was way to short. i can afffort way more time to play qualifiers (caution, this is sarcasm)
so true
When stats are used to compare CW strength
why are stats even used to compare CW strength
More ascent with the same system will result in the same output. The key to solve the issue I highlighted are either to:
. Have more clans involved
. Remove ticket system
. Go in double elimination system
The seeding topic will never be solved in a perfect way. I think it is a side debate not the key one
I think for the top 8 this system was rly good (apart from the time it took). Regarding top 16 im not so much into it
I agree for top 8 identification the system was good. I think we could make the mathematical background of it but basically to identify top 8 having 40 teams involved is ok. But to have a relevant top 16 we should more have like 80 clans involved
Otherwise the seeding system creates huge bias
Exactly.
I d like to see sth like this next year :
"I'd suggest a halfway house. Play 6 non-ticketed tournaments with equal cup scorings. Have the last 2 tournaments accessible only to X number of teams that scored over Y number of cups. "
- THE Rollingswarm
It is sad that the only one not interested in our discussion is the WG moderator
@half urchin 1 month long qualifiers would be better
+1
1 month of 4 days every week? holy
2 weeks 7 days each week last deal
One month with random mm and no Tickets, so you have to be very lucky to have only easy groups.
@viscid python will you play last chance
1 month
Most probably, yes. @vital obsidian
Good then tour does not get cancelled
Omg 1 month u crazy... we have a life man
1 month every night (only for qualifiers) toooo much
Lief*
Id rather not play at all than have to play for 1 month to qualify 😂
over a short period of time we are already struggling to be 7 every night, imagine 1 month x)
Make whole twister qualifying 1 week non ticketed with Bo1
@thorn shale that’s next year
Ciao
