[lucid sable]

I'm kalm kollected and totally karefree

( 0u0) . .

[fluid sentinel]

I thought I was good at this game 🥲 but I just lost twice. Goes to show what happens when it comes to real competition and not just random matches haha

[upbeat mantle]

True!

But at least it’s all in good fun. Sorta… competition is a blood bath

It’s a war zone not even the adepti can win

[faint flare]

competition es hard indeed

the more you play the better you get

[timid helm]

now i’m getting scared for my first match

[gaunt mica]

who do I contact if the opposign player didn't ss the match?

[lucid sable]

I think check #1074538555927429182

[upbeat mantle]

I’ve messed up the ss on my first match. Probably an accident

[lucid sable]

this is like what i have for a ss

[wary heron]

and probably more healing stuff o_o

[bold widget]

Wangshu inn about to be useless, sad

[fluid sentinel]

Wym?

[lucid sable]

It was a lot of healing

[bold widget]

Doesn't do anything when you only have 1 char left alive

[faint flare]

wangshu inn is like only useful against sc/ec/etc but dats about it

[fluid sentinel]

LOL T_T

[bold widget]

Whaaaaaat

The queue reset twice for me, finally matched and confirmed and it said I canceled

[lucid sable]

😭 Noooo

[bold widget]

[faint flare]

my condolences

[lucid sable]

that counts as a battle

[bold widget]

I didn't press cancel though... what

[lucid sable]

When will the prelim bracket thingy update from last time

( 0u0)

[south plume]

so after playing 5 matches those the que block you?

[upbeat mantle]

Intense battle Eesh

[upbeat mantle]

At least it tells you when you met your quota I guess haha

[south plume]

[upbeat mantle]

[fluid sentinel]

Waaaa I finally won a game

[upbeat mantle]

[fluid sentinel]

[fluid sentinel]

[wary heron]

[fluid sentinel]

LOL THIS EMOJI

[wary heron]

its from gitcg

[fluid sentinel]

Well I only won 1 game out of 4 atp. But I don't see myself on the leaderboard. Do I give up and leave? I'm kinda confused how it continues if I lost so much

[wary heron]

you are on leaderboard

[fluid sentinel]

0:

Wow global rank of 120 makes me feel rlly good abt myself hahaha /srs

I was looking at the wrong leaderboard I guess

[south plume]

now that i did my 5th alotted game lets see what sussy paimon has to say

[fluid sentinel]

[south plume]

ok good so i come back later

[faint flare]

there is a global leaderboard?

[fluid sentinel]

WAIT WHATS THIS MEAN

[fluid sentinel]

Yeah when I clicked the "my rank" button it showed local and global

[faint flare]

max 5 games today

[south plume]

so the rules are. you get 5 alloted games within 24 hours

[fluid sentinel]

OH NOOOO I HOPE I WIN THE NEXT ONE THEN

[faint flare]

o i c

[fluid sentinel]

I only have 1 left

But I've been queueing for 9 min ;-;

[south plume]

even if you dont play all 5 now and only can do 3 now . when the next que opens you can play a fresh 5 plus the remainig 2 from earlier

[fluid sentinel]

Ohhhh nice

Good to know thanks!

[south plume]

[fluid sentinel]

Wait so is queue tomorrow the same time?

[south plume]

there are 2 ques per day

next one is in about 16hours

[fluid sentinel]

But if I play all 5 games now I can't go to that one?

[south plume]

but you may need to check your time with sussy paimon after your 5th game

[south plume]

no you have to come back during the time when the next que starts

you can check #preliminary-queue for the time frames

[fluid sentinel]

Wow I didn't realize this and woke up so early to play hahaha 😅

Now I see the second time slots

[south plume]

ehehe i stayed up for this now i can sleep till later

[fluid sentinel]

Nini!

[upbeat mantle]

Bruh XD blocked me from queuing. Guess it’s a sign to go resin dump and card break. And touch virtual grass

[marble osprey]

I suck

[faint flare]

so many 5-0 in asia wao

[timid helm]

omg dont say that... that was the first and only battle ive won today LMAO

[marble osprey]

Congratulations

I’m happy to be some help

[timid helm]

we are all doing our best here

[marble osprey]

You’re so sweet 🥲

[twilit steppe]

Yeah I'm impressed.. thank goodness I registered in the wrong server

[fluid sentinel]

LOL WHAT

yayy im happy i won 2/5 ;-; better than nothing!

[faint flare]

top 8 in asia all went 5-0, and the rest of the leaderboard es 4-1 o_o

[fluid sentinel]

holy cow

[twilit steppe]

Well I'm actually Indonesian living in Indonesia haha

[timid helm]

wow 😭

[fluid sentinel]

but how did you register for the wrong server ? were you still able to play ?

[timid helm]

anyone can register for any server i think

[fluid sentinel]

but how ... cause then dont you have to log into that server?

[timid helm]

i live in the usa but i have a europe server on my account

[fluid sentinel]

like i cant join an asia server person from my na acc

[marble osprey]

Your see it potato is the top dog in these park now bow down 🙇‍♀️ @faint flare

[fluid sentinel]

same lol....

so i guess they just have an acc for every server

[twilit steppe]

Oh it was when I first started Genshin, my Asia PSN acc don't work so I registered with NA PSN acc instead, at that time I don't know server difference matter that much haha

[fluid sentinel]

LOL

[timid helm]

OH wait

theres no cross server play

[fluid sentinel]

ohhh i see

[marble osprey]

Duh

[fluid sentinel]

yeah thats what i meant haha

[timid helm]

yeah so you just sign up for one and not the other lol

[fluid sentinel]

i happened to be logged into my NA acc when i got addicted to tcg... so even tho im only WL 6 my tcg is maxed out LOL when my real Euro acc is almost AR 57 ;-;

and my real euro acc tcg deck is just sad

cause i didnt wanna do everything twice

haha

[timid helm]

i feel you, my euro account is only around ar30 while my na is ar57

[fluid sentinel]

exactly haha

[faint flare]

i think i have all the tcg cards on my na main and asia alt

and im semi working on tcg on my na alt too XD

[fluid sentinel]

im finally to that point on my NA where i have all materials to level up my char except whopper flower, samurai guards, and treasure hoarders and im too lazy to farm them

[faint flare]

there are several spots where there are triple whopperflowers dats pretty efficient to farm

treasure hoarders are just easy

[fluid sentinel]

and im like.. do i wanna farm this .... or get nahida triple crown on euro >:)

[faint flare]

handguards though... gud luck

[fluid sentinel]

yeah its just annoying to go from a cracked acc to an acc that is so low

[faint flare]

oop

[fluid sentinel]

genshin is rlly fun from AR 0-35 and 55-60

between there is struggle bus and begging people to help u

hahahaha

[faint arch]

is there a place i can ask for tournament staff help

[timid helm]

i think #📨contact-qixing

[bold widget]

No 5-0s in NA yet but couple of 3-0s

[gaunt mica]

I just got to 4-1, although waiting on a mod I think to confirm one

[faint arch]

this is sort of nonsense i won my match but i cant submit bc it tells me screenshot is too large

and no mod is around to confirm it seems

[faint flare]

I get that too. My iPad ss are almost always >8mb

Gotta compress it

[faint arch]

how

[eager mesa]

I have arisen

[faint arch]

do i have to download smth

[eager mesa]

[faint flare]

I just use a site for it like this one https://imagecompressor.com

[faint arch]

alright that worked

ty

[bold widget]

I just crop the edges a bit, might be faster for the next time

This may be the only time in the tournament I'll be in second place, better save it

[fluid sentinel]

I wonder how they calculate the "S"

[eager mesa]

+10 per win +1 per loss

[fluid sentinel]

Oh nooo so it's painfully obvious my situation

[hushed vortex]

Hey I just wanted to double check, it's ok if your game extends past the preliminary queue time slots right? So if I start a match 20 minutes before the end of the 4 hour time slot and the match takes 30 minutes, it'll still count?

[upbeat mantle]

They send a message in the private channel when times running out. Beyond that unsure. Me and Juu had technical difficulties so it gave us an alert when there was 13min left before it closed

[hushed vortex]

Was that 13 mins left of your 45 mins?

[bold widget]

It'll still count

Did this a lot in the last tourney

[upbeat mantle]

Yea. So the channel think gets auto deleted after that? Or at least what it sounded like

[hushed vortex]

Okok thanks everyone

[upbeat mantle]

Risk taker living on the edge lol

[twilit steppe]

The channel doesn't get deleted I think but get locked and hidden?

[bold widget]

Sometimes you don't get a match in the queue until like 5 minutes before the queue time ends

But you still get the whole 45 minutes

[gaunt mica]

anyone know about how long it takes for the mods to respond on the Qixing hotline?

[twilit steppe]

About few hours for me, that's when there's a bot error that caused me to match with multiple people including myself haha😭☹️

[gaunt mica]

mk, guess I'm par for course then. 2.5 hours in but had them say they got the message about an hour and a half ago

at least there's a second window tonight if something really goes wrong

[eager mesa]

error occurred locking me out of queue

idk if I'll be able to do any more today

oh looks like I can requeue again

idk what happened

[upbeat mantle]

If on mobile at least and switch apps. The bots message (that can be dismissed) will disappear. Which when press start (or just spam the queue button) will cause it to bonk ya

[eager mesa]

on pc

it said queue was reset and to reenter queue

it bonked me for doing that

[upbeat mantle]

Eesh. Sorry about that qwq

[shadow bear]

Guys does anyone who should I tag if I can't include a SS on the giconclude commant?

The + button doesn't work

[frozen pike]

it's intended, please send it and submit the screenshot after

[shadow bear]

Ahhh that make a lot of sense....

[frozen pike]

[subtle ibex]

[shadow bear]

Got it! Thank you!

I just got confused by the instructions 😂

[subtle ibex]

no shame w/ asking for clarification ;D

[frozen pike]

noted we'll word it better in the next update

[upbeat mantle]

Lost all 5 matches this morning 💀😂 now to wait for the second round

[gaunt mica]

I had a game earlier where the opponent didn't put a ss for losing before timing out, any way to resolve that?

[shadow bear]

No worry! It probably just nerve catching on me.... So when I read "AND" I was like "OMG WHY IS THIS NOT WORKING?! IS THIS TIME ON THIS???"

[frozen pike]

the mods will review your report soon and will resolve it accordingly, so please be patient

[gaunt mica]

mk, thanks

[timid helm]

i was only able to get 4 matches in this morning, gonna have to wait for the next window

[frozen pike]

also #tournament-updates now lists some changes with regard to the /gireport command, worth a look

[frozen pike]

got it! gotta change it to "send it, then..." instead of "and"

[shadow bear]

Wait is there some sort of quota each day or just throughout the preliminary? I don't remember reading any of those @.@ but then again I'm forgetful....

[small crane]

what happens if i managed to queue one minute before the end of the queue time?

[small crane]

its 5 matches per day

[shadow bear]

Noicee definitely would be easier!

[timid helm]

there is a max of 5 matches you can play each day

[gaunt mica]

Extra matches do carry over though I believe

[frozen pike]

if you get matched, then just play normally

[timid helm]

but there are two windows where you can queue each day

[shadow bear]

Ahhh the maxed time you can do

[shadow bear]

Yeaa I remember that one!

[timid helm]

ya! i only got 4 matches this window so im gonna play my last one in the next window

honestly kind of suprised i won 3 out of 4 so far, this is my first time playing tcg competitively

[eager mesa]

4-1 today

[gaunt mica]

4-1 gang (tentative)

[faint flare]

Couldnt play all 5 last session bc classes

[small crane]

1-4 gang

[shadow bear]

I only did 2....

[small crane]

Tomorrow shall be better

[shadow bear]

Waiting gang

[shadow bear]

https://tenor.com/view/you-can-do-it-gif-25784994

[small crane]

You too! that team was nice imo

wouldve done best outta 3, had it not been for the timer

[shadow bear]

Yea! I just unlock klee and playing with her is so much fun!

[shadow bear]

Yeaa 14 minutes left...

That's why I felt a bit weird to leave it like that....

[small crane]

nah, its cool! you totally deserved it after I just barely won the first round. Still refining my skills for TCG, but I'm learning from these losses

[shadow bear]

Nicely done tho! You might want to add the jade chamber so it easier to get dice.... Cuz my dice RNG was horrible.....

[gilded kelp]

Have faith in urself you'll pop off next time 👑

Wouldn't make for an underdog story without some losses to your grand victories

[small crane]

Thanks for the tip! I appreciate it, and I’ll keep that in mind. I also realized far too late that I had two bows in my deck rather than two swords —

[shadow bear]

Ahh yes I did that sometimes as well 😭 it's usually because we switch up character then realized "oh they don't use this weapon....."

[lethal spruce]

I completely missed the first bc skool...

[small crane]

Also, question just for clarification, it’s 5 matches per day, right? Or is it 5 per queue session?

[shadow bear]

I was gonna say at least you'll get 10 but then I remember second slot time 😂

[shadow bear]

Per day, yes!

[lethal spruce]

5 per day, iirc.

And they carry over to the next day

[small crane]

Okay, just making sure

[lethal spruce]

So I can spend tomorrow farming

[subtle ibex]

farming the souls of the innocent

[lethal spruce]

Yus.

[spring yarrow]

Dhsksh same cus I play on na server even though I live in europe so i miss most of the slots

[lethal spruce]

Salad, fight me

[lethal spruce]

I know a couple of Asia players here too

[spring yarrow]

I've only done 1 match so far cus I was busy after school and I'll probably do 1-2 matches in the second slot

[subtle ibex]

[lethal spruce]

Come at me

Drop dat uid

[subtle ibex]

i don't have it unlocked tho

[lethal spruce]

Why you here

[bold widget]

It's way simpler to calculate someone's win-loss ratio at a glance this time around
Unless someone has 10+ losses, wins are tens place and losses are ones place

[lethal spruce]

I'll let you go...this time.

[subtle ibex]

[indigo onyx]

Dont be mean, tiny person

[lethal spruce]

I'm not mean

Smh

[indigo onyx]

Rude*

[lethal spruce]

Me? Never.

[indigo onyx]

Hope that you dont meet me in the preliminary

I will use a freeze deck every time

[lethal spruce]

Fight me then

[indigo onyx]

[lethal spruce]

Fight me now

You won't

[indigo onyx]

Im going to get Invisalign

And i have yet the built it cause procrastination

[lethal spruce]

Braces?

[indigo onyx]

I have the cards

[lethal spruce]

[indigo onyx]

But better and a lot more expensive

Like 5.5 grand

[lethal spruce]

So I've heard

[indigo onyx]

I did build the stall deck

[lethal spruce]

Ew

[indigo onyx]

Its only for you

Maybe

[lethal spruce]

[subtle ibex]

[indigo onyx]

Tbh its not really a stall, cause i would get to bored sooo…. I wont say anything else

[upbeat mantle]

Oh god 😂💞

[upbeat mantle]

Stall deck?

[indigo onyx]

Constantly healing, but i dont play it like a stall deck

[upbeat mantle]

Ahhhh makes sense. So do the others just forfeit or do you just eventually take them down

[indigo onyx]

Both could work

But i do “not gonna say”

Instead

[upbeat mantle]

Fair enough

[trail mason]

do I need to change my deck characters each match of prelim, or is that just later matches?

[strange peak]

Just at knockouts

[trail mason]

Ah, alright. Thank you

[wary heron]

prelims open again

[subtle ibex]

gls!!

[timid helm]

good luck to all!

[neon bison]

Hi guys. I'm not a native English speaker. What could I say to my opponent who just lost the game if I wanted to be nice and polite? Pls help me:)

[wary heron]

gg

or something to the same effect

idk

[neon bison]

I thought gg is what the loser says to the winner, no?

[wary heron]

nah it goes both ways

[neon bison]

cool. Thank you! really appreciate it!

[bold blade]

most people use "gg" which means good game :)

lol love it when messages don't load

[lucid sable]

🙏 I'm 2 and 0 cuz I haven't fought atilla and the other real mean ones

[wary heron]

yooo 5-0

[gaunt mica]

nice

[shadow bear]

Your deck is crazy!!

[wary heron]

no

im smart

[shadow bear]

Ahahaha alright

[wary heron]

its not a question of deck

its a question of

[shadow bear]

Daaang I mean yea true

[wary heron]

yea

i mean you need practice

to play a specific deck more

speaking of practice i need to ganyu freeze more

[shadow bear]

Just got Klee so I'm trying her out, too fun!

Altho didn't even get to use her that one ahahaha

[lucid sable]

ganyu freeze seems like +50% on dice gods and if theyre feeling nice that day

[wary heron]

yeah

ganyu needs quite a lot of dice fixers

if you diceofcringe that is

[lucid sable]

I hate jean + sucrose

playing the long game by just messing with rotations

[faint flare]

oop

dats like the only deck i know how to use lol

jean sucrose

[lucid sable]

It is so very annoying

the others just go for the kill but jean + sucrose just annoying

[faint flare]

welp

[lucid sable]

( 0u0) no offense to anyone who uses that deck

[faint flare]

no offense taken ~~ill make sure to annoy everyone and throw them around ~~

[lucid sable]

I'm thinking of making a freeze deck to be an equal but different force in messing with rotations

whatever it takes

[shadow bear]

The timing when you try to chat but then you just found a match....

Or not... Doesn't work this time huh

[lucid sable]

( 0u0)

and I had to end on 7 dice

[shadow bear]

Keqing go brrrrr

[lucid sable]

the 7 dice left tho

and no libens

[shadow bear]

Ahahahaha

It just had to do

The sacrifice you need to make

[lucid sable]

yes

No but I was almost screwed

[bold blade]

nothing sparks more pain than having 12 dice but only 3 of them are usable and you have no cards to convert

[lucid sable]

Had 2 ittos and uh forgot his name but the guy that gives energy if you swap to a char without energy

🙏 keq burst

[shadow bear]

Pain.....

Dice god said no

[lucid sable]

My condolences

[shadow bear]

[bold blade]

9 dice of cringe and i had to end my turn TT

[lucid sable]

😭

[shadow bear]

Oh god 😭 now I actually felt it when you said you had to end your turn

[lucid sable]

🙏 Final match today

[bold blade]

i had no liben either and i just died a little on the inside

[faint flare]

4-1 gang

[lucid sable]

3-1 right now

[shadow bear]

I'm 2-3 unfortunately

[bold blade]

i haven't played a single round yet and i might not be able to until tomorrow :/

[faint flare]

at least youll still have your quota from today

[shadow bear]

I thought of doing it tomorrow as well but turn out last night I squish in more matches lol and I done like 2 just now

[bold blade]

true true

[faint flare]

so you can play up to 10 tomorrow

[bold blade]

idk if i'll have time for 10 games but we shall see

[shadow bear]

More matches lesgooo

[bold blade]

school tings amiright

[shadow bear]

Can't relate already graduated 😎

[bold blade]

[shadow bear]

That is true, look forward to job....

[faint flare]

me am done with the games and school today

[bold blade]

2 more years until big kid job time 💪🏻

[lucid sable]

I have a free period from 10:27 to 11:12 so I'm able to fit one game in then

( -v-) hehe

[bold blade]

i sadly have class smack in the middle of the evening session for my time zone smh

i could hypothetically do the morning one but that requires me to wake up lol

[lucid sable]

ew

🙏 hopefully you'll have a better schedule soon

[bold blade]

one day

but it's only gonna get worse from here

but at least there's summer

[lucid sable]

:0

I made 5th placeeeee

[bold blade]

eyyyy noice

[lucid sable]

Not gonna stay there most likely but

ty ty

[river harbor]

Soz can someone direct me to the full rules doc, I have no clue how prelims works

[lucid sable]

Oh uh there's #1074538555927429182 for some basic stuffs

#tournament-updates also has some rule updates

Within a tourney custum channel you'll see the rules there as well

[river harbor]

Is there anywhere I can see how many rounds I have to play or what I have to do to qualify for knockout

[lucid sable]

Here one sec

I'll ss

[river harbor]

tyty

[marble osprey]

IDK what I’m doing wrong!?!?

[marble osprey]

I keep losing

[twilit steppe]

Your improvement from last tournament is amazing I think.. 🤓👍

[lucid sable]

it's a little blurry cuz I had to make my discord real small to include the whole thing but I hope its legible

[river harbor]

Oh nice nice ty this helps

[lucid sable]

Only time can tell but I think so that was my first tourney I believe so yeah I'm 4-1 instead of like my 5-31

[river harbor]

Am I required to play a certain number of matches daily or can I rush all my matches in a single day

[lucid sable]

Uh there is a max of 5 per day

so 35 total if you play each day

They don't transfer over tho

so you can't do 3 matches one day and 7 the next

[river harbor]

Ahh

Damn

[lucid sable]

other tid bits are again in #1074538555927429182 and #tournament-updates

[twilit steppe]

Not required but if you rush 35 matches I don't think that's possible tbh.. Most people probably already left the queue + it's so many matches

[lucid sable]

or ask an event manager person

[river harbor]

ic

Thanks a ton

[lucid sable]

yah

np

[lucid sable]

@lethal spruce would it be possible to have a rules channel without having to queue? I send a ss of one of mines for somebody here but I think it may happen again

Or maybe I'm blind and there is a rule channel that I just can't see

[river harbor]

I searched for a while so if it exists then it's pretty hard to find

Would be nice to have everything in one doc or one post

Guess I have to play 5 games in 3 hours then

[lucid sable]

It's doable

[river harbor]

Definitely doable just unpleasant

I don't wanna spend the next 2 hours in matches

Also I need to grind a few story quests because some cards I want from npcs are occupied

[lucid sable]

10 minute queue but maybe 15+ if nobody loads and you're unlucky then ~10-15 minute battles

[lucid sable]

😭 felt I had to go through like 2 of the sumeru archon quest acts just to get some of them

[lethal spruce]

I don't get what you mean

[lucid sable]

So like

a dedicated rules channel or a pinned message here with a ss of the rules or a link to a viewable doc about the rules

Just somewhere accessable but without the requirement of having to load up a match to read the rules

[lethal spruce]

That's a good idea, actually

Or a step by step guide

Bc it took me a few matches to figure out the SS system last time

@frozen pike nop nop, hiii

[lucid sable]

I didn't wanna ping the top mod on

( 0u0) cuz yeh it was just a small thing

but I think it'd be a good idea

Or like a tourney command like /girules

[river harbor]

do it pon pon is slave

[lucid sable]

or whatever that just loads the embedded message that's at the start of each match

[lucid sable]

. . .

I am now Cryo

[lethal spruce]

Be nice, NopNop is busy

[lucid sable]

I- I just realized nop nop was pon pon backwards

[river harbor]

never busy enough always give more work

[lucid sable]

I thought you meant nop like nom

[lethal spruce]

You...have turned you back on Pyro? Sacrilege.

[lethal spruce]

Yus, nopnop

[lucid sable]

Blue's my favorite color...

But I was originally geo

then hydro

then dendro

then pyro

and now cryo

I'm a very indecisive traveller

[subtle ibex]

anemo next ;D

[river harbor]

cryo based

[lucid sable]

Just need anemo and electro

then I've cycled through them all

[lucid sable]

Mayhaps...

[marble osprey]

0/5

[lucid sable]

Is this your first tourney?

[marble osprey]

No I just sucks

[lucid sable]

Don't lose hope! You'll do better with more practice.

[marble osprey]

I practiced so much tho

[lucid sable]

Maybe the dice gods just aren't in your favour today?

[marble osprey]

[lethal spruce]

Nah, you're pretty good.

I definitely had heart problems playing

[rugged crane]

i like how system decides pigeon is cuter than duck

[lethal spruce]

[lucid sable]

I thought it was in order of registration if everything else matched

[fast veldt]

I barely have time to play this week and cant decide what deck to use

Maybe i go meta aboose freeze

[rich wasp]

if i had more time this week id try cooking up some counter to electropool

i think thats by far the best deck rn

[fast veldt]

Whats electropool

[rich wasp]

oceanid fischl mirror maiden

[fast veldt]

Oh sounds like fat aboose alrdy

[rich wasp]

not sure if the deck is beatable when they get good dice honestly

[fast veldt]

Pray ur opponent get bad rng

[rich wasp]

in fact superconduct kinda made its way back in the meta just by having a not bad matchup into electropool apparently

[fast veldt]

I used to run yolo electro charge, kinda similar to superconduct

Just no pew pew ganyu aoe

[lethal spruce]

When you find that the deck you used last tourney is now the new meta....

[safe plaza]

Any queuers

I messed up and forgot it was the window of the first day... rip

[lethal spruce]

I just had skool, but I might be able to get a second match in today

[safe plaza]

Wow no queue pop

At this rate I will be lucky to play one game D:

[ocean temple]

no one can beat me

[topaz mason]

Man the way levels are week gated kinda sucks, I won't get to try out the decks I wanted in prelims 😔

[timid helm]

im queuing! getting my last match of the day in

[topaz mason]

very fun tourney so far tho, shocked that an automated system like this exists on discord

[safe plaza]

Let's gooooo

[safe plaza]

Our bot manager is epic

[ocean temple]

sameeee hahha

[timid helm]

its super efficient and formal i was surprised too

[safe plaza]

Let me innnn

LET ME INNNNNN

[lethal spruce]

[gaunt mica]

So I have an open ticket for an opponent who didn't submit the loss properly. When that's resolved, do I get the win or is the match just cancelled?

[wary heron]

[shadow wave]

someone queue 1 more

[lethal spruce]

Okeh

[shadow wave]

LMAO

wait nvm not you

i found one

[lethal spruce]

Good luck!

[shadow wave]

you too!

[fast veldt]

gl

[ocean temple]

u guys must try asia server

i won 5 matches in a row and im in top 20

[fast veldt]

nah asia hardcore

[twilit steppe]

Once again I'm so glad I registered in the wrong server🤓🙏

[fast veldt]

imma try this electropool deck that SI mentioned

boolie randos cuz i too pepega to bully people in tourney

[twilit steppe]

Oh that one is powerful if you can use it right unlike me, I once won 4-1 because of it haha

[fast veldt]

ooh nice

i go do some practice then xd

[pearl fern]

this cats creeping up on those birds on top soon

[subtle ibex]

you got thisss

[wary heron]

damn electropool

thats why i run lament

[pearl fern]

haven't run into one of those yet and haven't played against it before. Curious to see how it goes

[safe plaza]

Lol duck and pigeon

[subtle ibex]

pigeons, ducks, cftsocks, and bleps hang in a park

[safe plaza]

Salad stay safe from those birds

[subtle ibex]

TRUE

[twilit steppe]

I hope I don't experience this in this tournament haha...

[pearl fern]

I had one round where I almost got wrecked by two really bad starting dice rolls with no way to fix

had to normal attack with sucrose twice that game

[subtle ibex]

but at least you won tho, yea?

[wary heron]

[twilit steppe]

Oh yeah that sucks..

[wary heron]

one time i diceofcringed 4 rounds in a row

[pearl fern]

oof

we were spoiled by how easy ayamiya dice were back in the day

[wary heron]

damn

[summer thicket]

I remember when ayamiya was meta i didnt even realize xq could normal attack twice to get his burst..
I thought using his normal attack was bad for some reason

[shadow wave]

It’s okay I got -16ed today

[lucid sable]

why chongyun? He's the only claymore/polearm/sword user there?

[strange peak]

This new heated mode is awesome... Paimon dice converting card just gives 2 omnis without cost

[small crane]

question, why is registration date part of the equation of ranking?

i feel like the day you registered has nothing to do with how well you perform in this tornament

[lucid sable]

So it's like if everything else is the same

[small crane]

also, just realized that last match played affects it as well. what about the people that can't play till the later half of the day? wouldn't that give them an unfair advantage, though?

[lucid sable]

Like if Player 1 and Player 2 both have played 4 rounds and both have scores of 31 and both have no strikes

it'd go to when they registered

[small crane]

ah, okay. so its not calculated now, its calculated if and only if the players have the same stats otherwise.

nvm then, I get it now

[lucid sable]

Yeah

Other than that it doesn't affect much

Right now you can see the leaderboard multiple people are tied

So those who are tied are arranged by registration because everything else is the same

[small crane]

okay

makes sense

[lucid sable]

yeh yeh

[twilit steppe]

Oh no hopefully it won't happen again..

[twilit steppe]

Chongyun could take control after Ganyu got defeated, it's just, I realize I still suck at this deck outside of heated mode haha

[lucid sable]

Ah

I like this heated more than the last one

But I think I’ve found a deck that’s working so far

[wary heron]

imma just go cook a counter to deck

[lucid sable]

George???

I’ve never seen it but I wanna see Diluc burst following Mona burst w/ Adepti temptation + vape and Pyro res

Big number

8 —> 10 vape
13 at
15(?) Pyro
30?? Mona????

[wary heron]

Diluc base (8)+WGS(3)+Bennett(2)+Adeptus(3)+Pyro reso(3)+some random thing=21
21x2(Mona burst)=42

[glacial vale]

Vape(2)

[wary heron]

lmaooo i forgot the vape

after calculating every single character's max potential damage ceiling i forgot the most basic factor that adds to the total damage

[lucid sable]

BEAUTIFUL

and way over the top lol

[frosty flax]

@wooden dawn Don't worry, you have three more matches

[lucid sable]

hfiprehafiowaf

I'm battling with the wrong deck

I was testing new deck comps after matches yesterday and forgot to switch backkk

[south plume]

is it just me or do i not hear sussy paimon pings any more

[indigo onyx]

Im so busy this week i have so much projects and so little time

[wary heron]

[shadow wave]

maybe i should retire

[wooden dawn]

Thanks

[twilit steppe]

Hello sorry I want to ask, what's the best course to do if your opponent can't provide the screenshot of win/loss because this opponent has sudden IRL stuff? 😭☹️🙏

[gaunt mica]

Are they still around or did they just leave completely?

[wary heron]

[gaunt mica]

if they're around, you can have them take a screenshot of a dummy match and that should work, otherwise might need to contact the mod team

[twilit steppe]

This opponent pinged me and said 'I have to go' and that's it😭☹️

[twilit steppe]

Oh okay thank you...🙏

[small crane]

Got one more match today. One last chance to potentially win

[slow heart]

Does the preliminary queue take a while?

playing my first match today since I forgot it started yesterday

[gaunt mica]

depends, longest I've had is 6 or 7 min

of course since I'm around, you're probably going to face me

[twilit steppe]

In the last tournament it could even take like 10 minutes haha😭☹️ but I think it's faster now thankfully

[lucid sable]

💀 don’t forget the “oh yeh nobody else is in the queue mf try again” after 10 whole minutes of waiting

[twilit steppe]

OMG THAT TOO...

[fast veldt]

either im just bad or my dice just bad for electropool

[lucid sable]

Not doing good so far

0-2 today

[lucid sable]

Then when it happens again- or you see in chat that people are matching but you-

[small crane]

0-4 rn

but im building a gigachad deck rn

so hopefully, i can bring myself out of the abyss

[lucid sable]

🙏🏻 gl gl

[small crane]

ty

[shadow wave]

3-5 overall

[marble osprey]

I deserve a participation prize

[fast veldt]

i feel like

i have met someone in this tourney that i matched in random coop before

[marble osprey]

Same

[fast veldt]

what are the chances lol

[marble osprey]

[small crane]

0-5 today. Sadge

[marble osprey]

Welcome to the club

[small crane]

not a good day for the parish today

[marble osprey]

[white cipher]

wait oh yeah I LOST MY 50/50

do we have to use the same deck every time or can we mix it up

[glacial vale]

bringing Kenki back from deadge?

[glacial vale]

no restrictions, you can change decks

[white cipher]

Nice

[white cipher]

an even better one would be a dendro chicken deck

[twilit steppe]

I've reached my quota and I only lost once today... that's honestly surprising haha

[glacial vale]

Chicken exists in some dendro res decks but Kenki has been missing since 3.3

[safe plaza]

anyone active

any gamers

[lethal spruce]

Oceanid?

[lethal spruce]

NOOOO

Not lia

[safe plaza]

i've been doing terribly

[lethal spruce]

Lia still stronmk

[safe plaza]

the luck in my current match is sooooo baddd

bad cards AND dice

[lethal spruce]

I get super lucky with rolls when im not playing competitively....

[safe plaza]

same

[lethal spruce]

But when I am....

And I never see librn

Ooh match

[timid helm]

ive been doing bad today too, lost my first 2 matches

trying to speedrun getting my last three in this window but queueing is taking a while

[subtle ibex]

I would give you a free win if I have the card game unlocked

[lethal spruce]

My first loss...

[subtle ibex]

[lucid sable]

Fort

Forg*

[subtle ibex]

Still got all week to catch-up

[lethal spruce]

Tru

[safe plaza]

i'm losing all over the place

[safe plaza]

that would be against the rules!

[subtle ibex]

NAH like I have no experience so even if I tried I'm pretty sure you'd win LOL

[lethal spruce]

impossible

[subtle ibex]

[safe plaza]

2-3 right now

[subtle ibex]

Don't count yourself out with those 2 wins

[safe plaza]

[safe plaza]

you're right....!

[subtle ibex]

[indigo onyx]

Hi pyr

[lethal spruce]

Hi dwagoon

Oh yeah

What's the maximum number of times you can match with someone this tournament?

[timid helm]

2 times im pretty sure

[subtle ibex]

^yus

[bold widget]

Time to breathe again

[safe plaza]

i'll play my other 4 matches after work

[bold widget]

[safe plaza]

i'll see you tomorrow mayoi

hope you're prepared

[bold widget]

I think we exhausted our two matches for this tourney, but yes, until next time hehehe

[safe plaza]

ooohh, is it 2 games per tourney and not per day?

THEN I'LL SEE YOU IN THE KNOCK OUTS

it's on

[bold widget]

Let's gooooo

It's crazy that nobody on the NA leaderboard is undefeated so far

It means many of us who have played so far are well-matched

Or we have fewer participants so far

The top 4 in Asia haven't faced each other yet

[lethal spruce]

I feel like my win rate will be the same as last time

So I don't think I'll be able to make it to the second phase since I can't grind

[bold widget]

I played exactly 35 games last time and went 24-11

Not sure if doing the same this time will be enough to get into knockouts

[strange peak]

oh they reduced to 2 the times we match with the same person?

[bold widget]

My rate right now is slightly worse

Yeah

[strange peak]

wish I had time to play this week, but I'm too busy

[bold widget]

Maybe since there are more participants this time they changed that

[strange peak]

wanted to test my Kokomi Vap deck

[indigo onyx]

I have so littile time this week

[bold widget]

That sounds interesting

Bennett/klee??

I'll play some practice rounds with you if you want

[indigo onyx]

If they do it again on april 8-12 then i can grind every day

[strange peak]

nope... just Koko + XiangLing + Mirror Maiden

[lethal spruce]

Mine is at 5-2 rn, and I doubt it'll get better, as more players with low win rates will probably give up as this tourney goes on

[strange peak]

Mirror Maiden is quite good if you can get her talent card up early

and XL is just pyro XingQiu for Koko

[lethal spruce]

Waht does her talent do?

[bold widget]

I hate it haha, 2 dice to switch sucks

[strange peak]

yeah, increase dice by 1 to switch

[lethal spruce]

That's

[strange peak]

also the duration of the extra hydro dmg debuff

[lethal spruce]

Evil

I love it

Okeh time to refine mirror maiden team

[strange peak]

she is also the only hydro character who can deal 3 dmg with her elem skill

so big numbers, also fast Ult

[bold widget]

Yeah, this didn't happen last time because you could just grind... but then again if only really good players are playing then their win rates aren't going to be very good either

[indigo onyx]

Tough luck i use dawn winery

[strange peak]

would still need to pay 1 dice though

[bold widget]

Two dawn wineries

[strange peak]

I think the only switch that can overcome her talent card is the anemo res card

[indigo onyx]

I have 2 in my deck

[strange peak]

I think 2 is too much... I often don't need it at all with Rosaria cards

[bold widget]

True, that's always a free fast swap

[strange peak]

I also came with a new Taseryno deck... Sara and Mona works great too

I tried a freeze/shatter deck with Eula, but not being able to gain energy after using her Ult is a bummer

But I loved this new heated mode

so many strats

[safe plaza]

I'm 3-3 now...

[twilit steppe]

Yeah personally for some decks, I played so much better on heated than I do on the normal mode haha

[strange peak]

I can almost always cycle through all 3 characters in 1 turn... also free dice with Paimon converting card

[twilit steppe]

Yeah and Ganyu charged shot could cost only 2 dices too haha

[strange peak]

haven't been using freeze decks for a while... a lot of people used to just forfeit whenever I freeze their 1st character

this tournment is the only place everyone plays till the very end

that's why I like it most

[twilit steppe]

Well because conceding outside emergency can result in strikes haha..
As for me I don't mind concedes at all, what I dislike are players who deliberately stall when they almost lose😥

[lucid sable]

😭 I felt like I did that today

[strange peak]

oh I had a lot of these too... even when just building decks to farm character proficiency (Koko + Sara + Eula was a weird mix but it worked on casual play vs randoms XD)

[lucid sable]

I was tryna fit an extra match in instead of the 1 I know I can fit in my free period

Then the bell rang and I had to go to my next class before submitting

[lucid sable]

I tried I had to end up making 3 decks to get them all to 10 prof

Koko Xiangling and Diluc worked
Then I did Sara Collei and the Birb
And Eula Chongyun and Xingqiu

[strange peak]

Birb is the word

[lucid sable]

Birb Birb

[strange peak]

I think Eula's skill should've been a 3-4 dmg skill

[lucid sable]

I haven’t used her since I got her prof 10

Lol

[strange peak]

She feels lackluster rn

[lucid sable]

I would Eula skill fast swap to Xingqiu skill then use the card that like gives energy from off field cards and burst next round

Then Eula backup of Chongyun dies

[twilit steppe]

Wait for clarification I meant those players who deliberately burn their cards one by one slowly, and slowly changing their characters☹️😭 (yes I've met people like this on random coop )

Oh also I'm impressed with people who use Eula Chongyun Xingqiu, I honestly don't know how to properly use that team haha

[gilded kelp]

Stall decks are annoying in every TCG

My ex did the same thing in Master Duel 😭

[strange peak]

Feels like my Ayaka Chong XQ deck, except that people wants Eula's Ult to shatter the freeze

Chong+Aya talent card combo feels better though... normal attacks hitting for 4 is great

[twilit steppe]

Oh I don't mind facing stall decks at all, in fact some of my decks are stall decks or able to stall haha.. but I don't like people like your ex tbh haha

[twilit steppe]

Oh okay thanks for the information.. 🙏🤓 ....I don't know how to use that freeze team either tbh haha but I will take some notes

[gilded kelp]

Yeaaah exactly LOL

[bold widget]

wins giving 10 points makes the leaderboard so much more volatile this time around

like who knows how many people in place 17+ rn are ready to snipe top 5 with just a couple wins

[safe plaza]

True

[bold widget]

how do some people in asia have 11 games

[safe plaza]

It broke

[lethal spruce]

Waht

[subtle ibex]

Relating to reports/cancellations that happened to add towards their match count haha
It's been fixed tho

[brisk bloom]

I always forget when these start and come in late ;-;

[lethal spruce]

Same...combined with daylight savings, Im.bad with times

[brisk bloom]

have they changed how much time you have to accept queues?

[lethal spruce]

You get a full minute now

[brisk bloom]

oh praise Barbatos

[lethal spruce]

[river harbor]

Lol is it even possible to get into knockout bracket without playing all 5 matches per day

[brisk bloom]

if your winrate is good enough

I kinda don't have that much hope since I missed yesterday but there's always hope :D

even if just a little, you can believe in yourself ^^

[slow heart]

u can play 10 match today

[brisk bloom]

oh is that how it works?

[slow heart]

they don't get use up

[brisk bloom]

oh so your limit just goes up by 5 per day?

[slow heart]

bc I forgot it started yesterday as well

[brisk bloom]

oh nvm then, hope shining again :D

thank you kindly for this information

I will write you into my will

[topaz mason]

my god I hate electropool

[brisk bloom]

quite simply delete Genshin off the opponent's device mid-match

in theory, should be foolproof

[topaz mason]

lmfao

at this point im really considering just mirroring it, tho the mirror must feel pretty bad to play through

[slow heart]

the mirror is just who get the ramp/heal and dice

[fast veldt]

Mirror is just card + dice luck

[bold blade]

that match felt a little too close for comfort lmao but twas good

[lucid sable]

😭 did I ghost enter queue and lose or something? It says I’ve already played 4 matches today when I’ve only played 2

[lethal spruce]

Ayy 6th place

[subtle ibex]

👀 nice!!!

[brisk bloom]

must've been sleep dueling, happens to the best of us

[lucid sable]

I was in school-

😭 whattttt

I only managed 2 rounds during school

[strange peak]

you might have an evil twin playing for you

[lucid sable]

Ofc ofc how could I have forgotten about my totally legit evil twin

It’s the abyss and the primordial god I swear 🙄

[brisk bloom]

sounds like schizophrenia to me but ok

[lucid sable]

Might explain my math grade

[brisk bloom]

you can't just blame your math on the voices >.>

[lucid sable]

Ofc I can-

Shh

[rugged crane]

asia so op golly

wish i could spectate their games

[lucid sable]

You’re doing just fine

(-v- ) 9/10 is good

I’m at 4/8 apparently

[rugged crane]

just won a mirror matchup id like to think im doing okay too thanks for the encouragement

there's always a chance for comeback

[lucid sable]

🙏🏻

[lucid sable]

😭 Somebody queue upppppp

please

I've been waiting

for about 20 minutes now

[twilit steppe]

I already exhausted my quota today sorry..🙏☹️

[lucid sable]

brrrrr

It's fine

[upbeat mantle]

If I don’t use my 5 matches in 24 hours do they go to tomorrow for total of 10? Or do i Just lose them

[brisk bloom]

yeah your quota max just goes up by 5 every day

in theory, if you were somehow fast enough, you could do all 35 on the last day

[lucid sable]

godspeed super sayin

[pearl fern]

you would probably get destroyed by queue times haha. It's probably best to play what you can early

[lucid sable]

Yeh fs

[brisk bloom]

even without queue times, you would have to speed through those games so fast I don't think it'd be possible unless you were running something hyper-aggressive

[upbeat mantle]

I think mine will be fast matches XD didn’t have good luck on first day lost all 5. Just having early day to spend time with family tomorrow

[brisk bloom]

I have faith in you :D

you can do it friend ^^

[safe plaza]

@lethal spruce

[lucid sable]

[subtle ibex]

pyrrah can still do one more match..

[lucid sable]

[fast veldt]

oh the electropool team

[lucid sable]

( 0u0) I haven't faced that team during this tourney yet

[fast veldt]

i played it a few times in random coop and my dice rolls are just ???

like the team is probably good but my dices

[lucid sable]

Because I feel like it I'm making a diluc mona bennett deck so I can get that pretty 42 score and go destroy timmie

gonna destress 🙃

[wary heron]

even with good dice

no dont exploit me noooo

[lucid sable]

No I'm off to torch Timmie's birbs

youre safe from me

[wary heron]

nooo im a birb

[lucid sable]

Not timmie's birb tho?
