I can't

I gotta queue both cuz of the matches I gotta make up

13-10 as of now

if I squeak two wins I'll be at 160 pts

then the last 5 can be second queue spot

[twilit steppe]

Oh I wish you well on that🤓👍

[lucid sable]

Nope

Atilla

0-5 here I come

[wary heron]

no queue

[lucid sable]

0-5

[twilit steppe]

The player who just defeat me if you saw this sorry my internet was bad so it ended coop abruptly🙏☹️ but thank you so much for your kind words and good luck for your next matches too!

[lucid sable]

I mistook cryo dice as omni and didn't reroll them

[wary heron]

🫵

[twilit steppe]

7 losing streak? My condolences...🙏☹️

[lucid sable]

😭 I don't wanna keep track of my losing streak

But I am

15-12

7 losses today

[wary heron]

i disconnected halfway

at least it was at the end of round

[lucid sable]

I had a good run when the tourney started

4-1 on most and 3-2 on some

Now it's 0-7 🤡

[fast veldt]

i matched with a death penalty player

[lucid sable]

Oh gee-

good luck-

[wary heron]

welp finally broke the lose streak

[lucid sable]

Good for you

good luck for future matches

[wary heron]

[lucid sable]

CONGRATS

[wary heron]

[fast veldt]

me losing to meta aboose team

[strange peak]

What's this death penalty deck about? Heard about it a few times now...

[twilit steppe]

From what I know it's basically an annoying stall team that can last very long time because it has the ability to keep healing (correct me if I'm wrong though everyone)
I once faced the Mona Barbara Ningguang version and that was definitely an experience

[strange peak]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cafe-coffee-waiting-gif-16299762

I shall really build mah Barbara+Kokomi+Kaeya deck and call it "The Diva" deck

[lucid sable]

I had an Aya Mona Barb deck-

but I don't use it anymore cuz I myself got tired of my stall deck

[misty harbor]

Barbara best girl

[lucid sable]

Nah but barb skill card + aya skill card + mona fast change-

heheheheh

[fast veldt]

Its like diona barb xq/kkm

At the end u just stall with diona

Wait maybe

I should run that

[safe plaza]

EU semis/finals from last tournament start in 10 mins

#📅tavern-events

[lethal spruce]

[safe plaza]

FINALLY

[lethal spruce]

Very excited

[safe plaza]

I'm nervous

HAHA

[subtle ibex]

It's gonna be awesome, trust!!

[echo oak]

Good luck guys!!!

[dark lark]

Ion think I’m gonna make it to NA top 16

Sadge

[twilit steppe]

If I fail my final 5 matches, so do I.. 🙏☹️

[violet rose]

I feel like I'm going to make it to top 16 just to lose my first match and end up at bottom place with nothing.

[twilit steppe]

Omg this is practically me in the past tourney😂🤣😭☹️

[violet rose]

There there.

[rich wasp]

said this last tourney but i think its super weird that you can spend all this time qualing for top 16 and have a 50% chance of getting nothing out of it

[twilit steppe]

Thanks🙏🤓

[violet rose]

Did you have to do 35 matches the last tourney as well?

[rich wasp]

more xd

[violet rose]

Yikes

[pearl fern]

well to be fair assuming you're a better player than others, a BO3 should be more than 50% chance

[brisk bloom]

I'm really glad there's a max quota this time, not having one before made it such an eternal grindfest

[rich wasp]

at the top 16 level i dont think skill level margins will be too big

[brisk bloom]

well there's still a really big skill gap when some people up there have 24 matches at the top while others needed 50+

[rich wasp]

the quota was really helpful for asia

[twilit steppe]

Do you think top 16 should get like, a Welkin or something of similar value? Well tbh yeah that would've been a good idea haha

[brisk bloom]

having an unlimited amount of games let you force your way up there if you were determined enough regardless of skill

[brisk bloom]

I don't think it would've mattered much for EU though lol

[rich wasp]

yeah xd if anything it made eu worse

you have to get all your quota games in or you are at a massive disadvantage

[rich wasp]

thats the main problem i have with this +10 +1 system

[brisk bloom]

it's hard to find a balance, but it's like now you need a minimum amount of time you need to pour into it to stand a chance, but it's definitely more skill-based than last time

tbh I should not have made it up there last tourney, I just had too much time on my hands

[twilit steppe]

I wish I entered EU tourney last time (jk)

[brisk bloom]

requiring a certain amount of time has its issues, but I feel it's better in general

[rich wasp]

+3 +1 made it realistic to have a low amount of games and still compete with people with a lot more games

[brisk bloom]

yeah +10/+1 is definitely too much

[rich wasp]

+10 +1 makes that impossible, you have to do all 35 games

+3 - 1 sorry

[brisk bloom]

if they had both the scoring from last time and the quota from this, I feel like the leaderboard would feel a lot less volatile

[topaz mason]

Why would you enter a tournament if you can't spare the time tho? I think 5 matches a day is fair, only problem is how long the queues take sometimes

[pearl fern]

so when you have a cap, assuming your top players are playing to that cap, the numerical split between w/l doesn't matter mathematically

to determine the rank

[brisk bloom]

because when you get +10 for winning, it's so easy for the standings to change a lot in a short amount of time

[rich wasp]

assuming everyone actually plays to the cap its fine

[pearl fern]

though if you have a negative value, a person playing all their games could be "lower' than someone who just say wins 10 in a row

[rich wasp]

but if i had no time tmmrow to play i would just be dropped

[pearl fern]

well I do think the current number of games is a bit high

maybe there can be a better balance that doesn't require daily I dunno

[willow osprey]

so do we have to finish all 35 games by tomorrow? Is there not like a catch up day on the 20th?

[topaz mason]

Welp I hadnt realized but even if I go 5-0 tomorrow I dont make it top 16

still I'm fine with my performance for a first tournament ever

[sudden marten]

matching is going to be hell now that i've matched with most of the active players twice

[topaz mason]

if its possible for you id rec trying both time slots, I did 3 of mine early today and left 2 for now

[faint flare]

should I even try

[topaz mason]

ofc not everyone is available for both

[topaz mason]

If you win 5 you can get in the raffle iirc?

I'd play it out for the experience anyway

[rich wasp]

knowing potato they already have 5 wins

[topaz mason]

ah fair enough

[faint flare]

Yeah I’ll be in the walk-in raffele

Welkin*

Wow I love autocorrect

[topaz mason]

the Walk-In Moon, very fine establishment

[faint flare]

Corrects for welkin but not for raffele

[pearl fern]

there's always next time queue times are getting kinda long right now

[faint flare]

Lovely

[topaz mason]

i wonder how many registered people just dropped halfway

[faint flare]

I was busy during the week so couldn’t really get the games in

[twilit steppe]

Probably a lot IMHO🤓

[violet rose]

Good luck to everyone in the America semis and finals. I'll be watching the stream from here.

[safe plaza]

many familiar names

wait wasn't ark playing EU

[rich wasp]

ark moved to EU after last tourney for a less competitive environment i think

[strange peak]

Good ol days of nightmare fueled grinding... I would sleep, dream and wake up about tcg... and when we thought we were done... NOPE! MORE GRINDING!!!

[dark lark]

Yep

If it didn’t take so long to get inazuma cards

Otherwise I would be EU this time

[fast veldt]

time to use friend's eu account to play in eu-

[dark lark]

I mean, that’s what I do for GITCG

But I don’t want to steal their account constantly

[fast veldt]

wow dedication

i have this feeling that

my friend didn't even start tcg

[lethal spruce]

Ay account sharing bad

[fast veldt]

[stiff crypt]

It may good on EU & America, but it still doesn't change much on Asia
Players with 27 wins of 35 match are not even qualified for top 16

[wary heron]

[stiff crypt]

[lucid sable]

Last day-

I was consistently on the leaderboard up to Friday 😭 then I tanked and haven't recovered

[twilit steppe]

Omg I wonder if 224 is enough to stay on the leaderboard... ☹️😭

[lucid sable]

Good luck

I'm in 26th right now with 157

153*

[twilit steppe]

Thank you

[wary heron]

[gaunt mica]

Looking at Asia is pretty intense. 283 is 16th place atm

[wary heron]

i cant even get 283 at this point

[lucid sable]

My win lose ratio is not no longer higher wins

14:15

[wary heron]

im 17-9

also you have zero chances to get onto leaderboard sadge

[lucid sable]

If I run it there's a miniscule chance of like 16th

cuz then I'd get to 205 ish

[wary heron]

then id still get better than you

i have that much self confidence

[lucid sable]

You still have 10 matches left 🙏 gl

I'm just gonna use this practice for the future

Cuz I'm doing a lot better than the first time I did a tourney

[wary heron]

i have like 7 left?

[lucid sable]

oh 9 left

17-9

26

brain can't math oops

[wary heron]

i dont think i can get in with 10 losses

pushing for 240 because i cant finish 6 games in 1 hour

after this imma speedrun windblume

[gaunt mica]

still have the late window also

[bold widget]

I think they're in school during that time

The drawbacks of playing on NA when you're in asia

[wary heron]

yeah

its 7 to 11

i cant even get in one match

[twilit steppe]

I will probably get kicked out from the leaderboard after the last window🤣😂😭☹️

[wary heron]

maybe after this window if im able to make it to at least 240-250

i really need those points

[bold widget]

If I went 24-11 like I did in the last tourney, i would be 8th place right now, but I ran out of time

Still have like 13 matches left

[wary heron]

last tourney i went 22-2

[bold widget]

This time was a lot harder

[wary heron]

and now im 19-10

[bold widget]

[wary heron]

im aiming for at least 23-10

i lost again

im dfinitely out of lb now right

yeah

now wheres the queue

no one in queue?

im definitely not qualified

[wary heron]

yeah im deadge

unless i can somehow queue into 3 games

when theres no one in queue

welp nvm

gl to all the finalists

maki is going to die

[sacred comet]

[wary heron]

[twilit steppe]

Omg what's your score if I may ask #nosey 🤓❓

[wary heron]

212

cant catch up

[twilit steppe]

Oh okay.. ☹️ thanks for the answer and good luck next time if you want to participate again

[wary heron]

sheesh if only i wasnt that busy this week

didnt know school holidays were that bad

time to speedrun windblume

my final score is 20-13

hopefully better next tournament

[bold widget]

Mine is 14-11 haha... Unless i win the last 10 games in a row I don't think I have a chance

[analog moat]

Now that the preliminaries are ending, the important question is

When wil the raffle be done?

[strange peak]

https://tenor.com/view/soon-cat-peeking-gif-8420673

[topaz mason]

[fluid sentinel]

I have some questions:

How do we watch the final rounds and when do they stream?

When do we find out who wins the welkin? Is there a date that the final rounds end?

[pearl fern]

The rounds should be streamed in the same place the last tournament ones were. Once the dates are known they'll be announced in #📅tavern-events , you can see the last one there already. If you want to be notified you can sign up for the Events Ping role to be pinged

[fluid sentinel]

Thanks!

[pearl fern]

No idea about the welkin part, but I'm sure we'll hear announcement when it's ready

[sacred comet]

No more mmec!

[misty harbor]

mmec?

[strange peak]

https://img-9gag-fun.9cache.com/photo/aBd6xox_460sv.mp4

[lucid sable]

Did it

[lethal spruce]

Nooke

[subtle ibex]

42 dmg......

[lethal spruce]

Diluc go boom

[subtle ibex]

[lucid sable]

If only there was a dendro char that applied dendro on itself then you could get bloom added in which is +2 or 3 iirc which means 46-48

[rich wasp]

it’s definitely possible because some npcs in sumeru have a leyline that apply dendro on the active char every round but i tried it for an hour and never got the theoretical cap of 46

[lucid sable]

My new goal then

Gonna find that NPC and waste my life trying

Last two rounds with big boom Diluc ✨

Screen recorded the whole thing but I’m nitro less so that’s all I could fit

[lethal spruce]

I could have made that 25...dang it

[lucid sable]

😭 the audio didn’t save

Gonna try to redo it against the dendro key line NPC with audio 🙏🏻

[stiff crypt]

Try 46 damage next (only works against certain npc)

[lucid sable]

I did some brains and it’s very unlikely

Cuz I’d need to get the bloom after Benny burst

If the ley line makes the active char have dendro then I’d have to Benny burst then Mona burst on dendro

[stiff crypt]

It's hard but not impossible

[lucid sable]

🧠 NPC will have to do a dumb and change chars in my favor

[rich wasp]

has to be benny burst -> mona na/skill on dendro -> mona burst -> diluc burst

[lucid sable]

Or maybe Benny burst Mona burst on dendro then Diluc burst if ley line applies dendro on active at start

Just gotta make sure active has no effect w/ Benny Mona

[stiff crypt]

Yeah

[lucid sable]

Gonna have to shuffle the deck a bit for dice cards

[rich wasp]

thatll only do 44 no?

[lucid sable]

Cuz it’s just draw card cards and health-

No 46

Cuz Mona x2 the +2 bloom

[stiff crypt]

46

[rich wasp]

diluc has to burst on someone with hydro

[lucid sable]

No

Diluc has to cause a Pyro reaction

[rich wasp]

yes i know but vape gives +2 while burning will give +1

[lucid sable]

Ah

HmmmMmm

Then gotta pray 🤷🏼‍♀️

I doubt it’s possible but maybe

[stiff crypt]

Oh... I thought it's vape

[rich wasp]

to vape you have to mona na on someone with dendro and then mona burst

could also kill someone with dendro on them with mona burst and then hopefully already have hydro applied on someone else

[lucid sable]

Ooh that could work

[strange peak]

Benny Ult > clear Pyro with Mona's elem skill > summon will apply hydro at the end of turn > dendro core procs on dendro refresh > Mona Ult > food + pyro res > Diluc Ult

10 dices needed on the last round (disconsidering swap)... quite the challenge

Could lessen to 8 if using dice reducing artifacts

[stiff crypt]

(Bennett burst on the previous round)
Mona's NA / skill 3 dice
Mona's burst 3 dice
Change char 1 dice
Pyro res + adaptus 3 dice
Dulic's burst 4 dice

That's 14 dice

That's to do 46 damage

44 damage is easier though
Because on the last round we only need diluc's burst

[strange peak]

Where's the dendro core?

[stiff crypt]

After using Mona's NA / skill

[strange peak]

Yeah, I included that in my thought by using Mona's skill to clear Benny's Pyro and allowing the summon to wet the enemy before the next round starts and apply the dendro reaction

Next round would just need Mona's Ult (3) + swap (1) + food (2) + pyro res (1) + Diluc's Ult (4) for a total 11 dices

Could reduce it by using Dice reducing artifacts on Mona and Diluc, also Dawn Winery/Changing Shifts cards to reduce swap cost

Last time it took me around 6~7 rounds to deal 42 dmg... but depending on the enemies with dendro effect applied by the monolith, that could take a while if you don't kill the opponent's team too fast

[stiff crypt]

I see, you're talking about doing 42 damage
While I was talking about doing 46 damage

Doing 46 damage is much harder than 42 damage

[strange peak]

I believe I mentioned the dendro core/reaction in both of my comments

My last msg was about turns needed to get 42, and that would probably need a better setup on challenges with dendro effect applied

In case people are trying for 46

[strange peak]

Yes, I already mentioned it all

Too bad you missed my point

[stiff crypt]

Yeah, with dendro monilith
We need 14 dice on the last round to get 46 damage
Can be reduced by using some cards

[strange peak]

And as I explained on the 2nd time, it only takes 11 on the last round if you clear pyro with Mona on the previous round while applying hydro again with the same skill for spawning the dendro core with the monolith and reduce up to 8 (don't worry... I can repeat as many times needed)

I hope you got it this time, though

Otherwise, take as much time needed

[lucid sable]

😭 no luck

this is super hard

Cuz I had to ditch some of my card cards for dice cards so now its even more luck based rather than me just drawing my whole deck early

Deck is so organized with half healing food to wait out the long haul and then koko's and harbors and whatnots

[stiff crypt]

I don't understand what you're talking about
We are talking about how to do 46 damage with an npc with dendro monilith, right?

At the beginning of each round the opponent has dendro aura, we need to clean dendro aura first and then use Mona's burst

[pearl fern]

I think if the totem applies dendro to an existing hydro you still get the core iirc

[stiff crypt]

I think I know an easier way to do it know, before the last round, we apply hydro to an opponent

[pearl fern]

so you could sneak that in at the start of the round/end of the last round

[stiff crypt]

So, when dendro monilith active, both aura will disappear and we get dendro core, and we can just Mona's burst

I understand now

[strange peak]

That's what I'm trying to say since my 1st post about it... if the opponent's character has a dendro/hydro aura and a passive hydro/dendro aura is applied... the dendro core goes to you... so you DON'T need to wait for them to get the dendro aura to apply hydro, and idk if the person understands that

[pearl fern]

it's an unintuitive interaction for sure - most cases of self application clear the aura with no effect but bloom is an exception

[strange peak]

And that's why somehow dendro is a great counter for self cleansers, because whenever a XingQiu/Kokomi/Barbara's heal gets rid of a dendro aura, the core still goes to the opponent, which is an easy +2 dmg when detonated

[strange peak]

Better late than never

(Just took me 5 posts)

[stiff crypt]

I just didn't think that we can clear dendro aura at the beginning by applying hydro before the end and also get dendro core

I want to test it, but I don't see any opponent with dendro monolith

[lucid sable]

( -v-) I'm close to getting it but the opponent keeps dying

Just gotta mona skill and make sure active char has hydro applied at end of round for bloom

But after benny burst so you can mona burst then diluc burst

Double koko and harbor 😃

Best I could do since hydro was cleared for the bloom so no vape or pyro res so -10

[stiff crypt]

Is there an opponent with dendro monolith now (except weekly) ?

[lucid sable]

Yeh two NPCs in sumeru

[stiff crypt]

Where?

[lucid sable]

Both are by like the entrance to Sumeru

like the small village there

One of them is a dude next to some dogs and the other is like the first NPC you come across that you can duel

[stiff crypt]

What's their name?

[lucid sable]

Idk

[stiff crypt]

[lucid sable]

Why are you even here if you don't have a NA UID

Not to be rude just wonderin

[stiff crypt]

I Just want to talk with others

Many people talk with players on other servers too

[lucid sable]

I see

I don't 🙃

[subtle ibex]

fwiw, i don't play the game (not high enough AR to unlock it ) but still am interested in seeing what peeps say here haha
i think it's good to see where other player's mindsets are at in diff regions; you can cross-pollinate ideas/strategies' you may have, and make some frens along the way

[stiff crypt]

I keep failed to deal 46 damage

i just need my opponent to change to keqing

after trying again its even worse

[lucid sable]

The burn is constant once active since it’ll just resummon start of turn so you gotta Mona skill

[stiff crypt]

I used Mona's skill

[lucid sable]

Oof

Made a time lapsed video of my Diluc 42

https://youtu.be/KW4ccM8jQZU

Cuz discord is rude and doesn’t like large videos

The original match was about 15 ish minutes

[stiff crypt]

42 damage is much easier

Compared to 46 damage

[lucid sable]

Well duh

But still proud of hitting 42

[stiff crypt]

Next time try to do 46 damage too

[stiff crypt]

Trying 46 damage again, and I keep failed
Either my opponent die too fast or one of my char die

And my opponent won't change char if I don't attack

[lethal spruce]

I've been trying to see what the largest number i can hit with klee is...same problem.

[stiff crypt]

What's your klee's highest damage so far?

[stiff crypt]

Nice, idk what's the highest possible damage for klee, but it can definitely still higher

[lethal spruce]

Adeptus temptation

That's the only buff I can think of that's missing

Also

I just realized

The LN pfp

[stiff crypt]

Add dendro core / shatter too

[lethal spruce]

Pyro shatter?

Okeh

[stiff crypt]

Yes, freeze the opponent first (against certain npc that we can freeze without using cryo character) & then shatter, idk whether we can shatter with catalyst, though

[neon bison]

Hi. I'm a first timer in this tournament. Does anyone know what screenshots I need to take for the knockout phase matches?

Also how do I contact my opponent and schedule a match?

[spare turret]

hi i'm pretty sure you need to take the same screenshot like the screenshots you have made during the preliminaries

[neon bison]

ok so just the beginning screen and the ending one for each match

[spare turret]

yeah

for contacting

they will make a channel in which you can talk with your opponent

[neon bison]

I see. Thanks Happy!

[fast veldt]

gl i remember meeting u a few times in random coop

[neon bison]

Thanks Yona. You too!

[lucid sable]

Curse you Mona for not having enough health 😭

[lethal spruce]

[lucid sable]

The only time I wish health on my enemy

Just so I can crush them even harder

[lucid sable]

wgs hid from me all round- AND I HAD EXTRA DICE EARLIER TO EQUIP BUT NO WGS

[bold blade]

holy-

i would actually cry if i was on the receiving end of that

[lucid sable]

I was so close 😭

But I used all my harbors and kokos and libens and no wgs

wgs woulda allowed me to reach the fabled 46

[lethal spruce]

I was gonna offer to be a punching bag, but I forgot about dendro self-application...

[lucid sable]

Yeah I need the Sumeru npc

The only options are me going against my own deck (Collei Mona KeQing) or the mitachurl trio stomehide and the flaming and electro ax

Sadly neither team actually seems to have healing cards so I gotta normal attack charge bursts

While also keeping mine alive

[faint flare]

maybe you can also try using nre and have food as filler cards, and then youll have a better chance of drawing cards you want XD

[strange peak]

you can't deal too much dmg, and you have to keep yourself alive, so food would work to stall while you build up energy for the stunt

[lucid sable]

😭 half my deck is like Food

Thats why I have Chef Mao since I also don’t wanna waste dies on food

I can send pic of deck in a bit after I have dinner

[stiff crypt]

It happens a lot to me too

That's my biggest challenge

[lucid sable]

I’ve been normal attacking to avoid placing Pyro for burning but still-

[stiff crypt]

Same

[stiff crypt]

I pity the opponent

[analog moat]

Where is the welkelin

[frozen pike]

it'll be announced after the tournament ends and welkin is delivered in 30 business days after the tournament ends

[analog moat]

[lucid sable]

AHAHAHAHAHAH

Oh wait

@stiff crypt wrong ping oops

[lethal spruce]

YOOOO

[lucid sable]

Diluc = stronk

[twilit steppe]

Omg I didn't knew this number is possible.. good job

[lucid sable]

Only cuz of bloom

gave +2 dmg

dendro ley line npc be like "oh I'm just a npc don't hurt me" 🙃

[stiff crypt]

Nice

I still can't deal 46 damage

[strange peak]

I almost got it today... but Mona dealt 6 dmg on her Ult on the opponent with 6 hp left... I was so furious!

[lucid sable]

Same with me but the character had dendro on so I burst for bloom and they changed to a char that had hydro app

[stiff crypt]

Lucky

[stiff crypt]

finally, i can do it too

took a lot of tries

[strange peak]

Kek

[lucid sable]

look at all of us going over the top of over the top

[bold blade]

i feel obligated to try that for myself now

[stiff crypt]

Same as me, nuke 1 HP opponent

[fast veldt]

i tried but couldn't get it to work

enemy not nice enough

[wary heron]

i quit trying

[stiff crypt]

You have to keep using healing / shield

[bold widget]

Ayyy new role icon

[twilit steppe]

I don't even realize this is a thing before you pointed it out haha..

[frozen pike]

#tournament-updates is a good place to get notifications for all messages

[twilit steppe]

My bad, I never checked the channel since I got kicked out of 2nd tournament leaderboard

[fast veldt]

now I'm pawless

https://tenor.com/view/cat-jumping-playing-bedtime-gif-14636872

[twilit steppe]

If I'm not mistaken, you entered the first tourney leaderboard right? If yes I think you got it, you just need to equip it haha🤓

[bold widget]

You have access to it, just go to #bot-playground and type .equip

[lethal spruce]

[subtle ibex]

[bold widget]

[errant stream]

[lethal spruce]

New chats and areas

Another tourney

I'm gonna sit this one out.

[twilit steppe]

Just registered... third time's a charm. Hopefully

[lethal spruce]

I'm not familiar enough with the new cards yet, so...

[lethal spruce]

I believe

So sorry about that one time tho

[frozen pike]

what if there's welkin to be had

[lethal spruce]

WAIT REALLY

BET

IM IN

Wait

Where does it say that

[twilit steppe]

Thank you and don't be sorry, you played well especially during the Noelle match🤓👍

[lethal spruce]

Tank

It means a lot from ryssa

[bold blade]

just registered hopefully I’ll be able to play more this time around 🫠

[frozen pike]

just an assumption based on last tourney

[lethal spruce]

[fast veldt]

whats the prince cup

i registered but prob cant play much

[gaunt mica]

that's my question. Skimmed the faq but it isn't updated yet(?) or I just missed it

[lethal spruce]

Nah il sit it out

Pizza makes a good point

It's my last quarter of HS

[frozen pike]

@fast veldt @gaunt mica https://act.hoyoverse.com/ys/event/astracarnival/index.html#/newsDetail/105492

there's details about Prince Cup here

[gaunt mica]

thanks

[fast veldt]

ty ty

[lucid sable]

Cool

[analog solstice]

How does this all work exactly I have a few questions that could clear things up to me. 1. Are theses events held in the tavern under events or just 1v1 in a custom or friend Match. 2. How do I know if I signed up because I put my information and I am not sure if I am signed up or not

[bold widget]

is there still going to be a 5 match limit per day

[analog solstice]

How do I know who to battle

Or do I just simply pick a random person and say hey you do you want to duel

?

[lethal spruce]

To play, against another player, you will go to #preliminary-queue

[analog solstice]

Wait I don’t have access to that

[lethal spruce]

No?

[subtle ibex]

check #🎫register

[analog solstice]

It’s locked no access it says

[lethal spruce]

Eh, makes sense.

Hasn't opened yet.

[analog solstice]

I have read it and it’s still a bit confusing how I match someone ohh

[lethal spruce]

When it does, that's where you'll go.

[analog solstice]

Makes sense nkw

Lol

Ok Ty

[lethal spruce]

Yeah, it is gonna be very confusing first time

[analog solstice]

So will you need to add them?

[lethal spruce]

After a few tries, you'll get it.

[lethal spruce]

You can just search their uid and join their world.

[analog solstice]

Oh ok

Perfect Ty

[errant stream]

oop I was wondering what the prince cup was but turns out I already registered for it days ago but didn’t realize that’s what it’s called lol

Helllooo, i hope the scheduled time of the matches isn't terrible for me like last time, I'd like to participate yk

[tribal harness]

Thank youu

[neon bison]

Is this a bug in the English register page? It says $300 for 1st Place while it's $1000 on other language pages.

[errant stream]

[tribal harness]

Whaa

[frozen pike]

oops, our bad, it's fixed now

should be $1000 for first place

[subtle ibex]

WHAT

[errant stream]

wait

[frozen pike]

[errant stream]

what

[tribal harness]

Oh wow

[neon bison]

noice

[subtle ibex]

OH alr i see how it is

[tribal harness]

Big prize

[frozen pike]

1000 - 600 - 300 - 100 - 50

[frozen pike]

sweatier hands

[subtle ibex]

you werent lying abt there being a bigger prize pool LOL

[errant stream]

should I proceed to America?

[frozen pike]

wym

each server has its own prize pool

[errant stream]

I was about to register with NA account this time

but...

hmm

the prizes tho

[tribal harness]

🤨

[subtle ibex]

thats so crazy the same prize pool for each region...
these match ups are about to be INSANE

[white cipher]

[gaunt mica]

I wonder, will submitting screenshots be simplified since we have the last few matches in replays now?

[frozen pike]

Until we can view the match publicly or selectively... No it's still the same

[subtle ibex]

poke the all mighty beings to push some of those features up, just for us

[analog moat]

No welkin?

[errant stream]

[wary heron]

[brisk bloom]

My sense of morals disappeared when I saw the prize pool

Time to make an MMEC deck ig

[wary heron]

you're doing something that disgusting and vile?

no more for you 🫵

[tribal harness]

MMEC?

[brisk bloom]

Im sorry Duck it was a moment of weakness I won’t do it don’t deprive me of Klee emotes :(((((

[brisk bloom]

Mirror Maiden Electrocharge: usually Oceanid-Fischl-Mirror Maiden

[tribal harness]

Ah sick

My main deck is collie xangling and diluc its fun to play but im not sure I'll bring it in to the tournament, I'm unsure about its meta effectiveness

[strange peak]

everything is meta if you play it good enough

[misty harbor]

Exactly

[tribal harness]

Idk? Ayaka yoimia dominated at the start there quite a bit

[brisk bloom]

Theres certainly some decks that are better than others, but you can make anything usable if you really try

[tribal harness]

Hm nice

The peeps who've already been in a tournament, any tips?

[strange peak]

when facing against a pyro res deck, never doubt they'll 1TK 1 of your characters

[tribal harness]

Haha, i knew that one,, i do that

Good advice tho

What about geo decks shields idk what to do about other than just hit em till they run out

[strange peak]

vs stall decks, always prioritize resource cards over dmg

you'll eventually catch up on the dmg before the opponent can start dishing out theirs

[tribal harness]

Thank youu

[strange peak]

except when they use Itto... take that mdfk down asap

he'll Ult you down on 2nd turn in electro res decks faster than you can say moo

friggin Itto + Beidou + Fischl/Sara decks

[tribal harness]

Gotcha

TChereiG posted that kinda deck recently

Good showcase video

[tribal harness]

Any other tips that are more specific for tournaments like sportsmanship or things keep track of for point scoring and such

[strange peak]

Not really, just follow the instructions and take the required screenshots for the matches. Now there's a record match feature in case you miss something or just want to review it

[tribal harness]

Yuh, cool so just do the correct sign up and follow instructions then play my matches to the best of my ability dont be rude, nice im looking forward to this :D

[strange peak]

And most importantly... have fun

[lethal spruce]

What if I'm drowning in schoolwork and applications

Screw sleep

[tribal harness]

A hefty chunk of cash

Iirc last time first place was 300

[lethal spruce]

Yup.

A looong way from $20

Just second place can cover my college deposit

And first place is a month of rent

https://tenor.com/view/math-calculate-confusing-figure-out-gif-6237717

[tribal harness]

Hope you win, good luck!

[lethal spruce]

I shouldn't get greedy tho

Getting 8th place once was enough it's time I move on

Decisions, decisions

[strange peak]

I'm tempted not by the prize, but to test the new cards/decks I've came with on this patch

[lethal spruce]

I haven't tried ayato or itto yet

So...

[strange peak]

So far I still have 100% win rate on coop matches... just in the tournment is where I get my butt slapped hard

[lethal spruce]

Yeah, same....expect only an 80% win rate in coop

Last time I didn't even get to top 16

[strange peak]

Guess the last changes will stick on this torney as well, I suppose?

Or will they adjust anything?

[lethal spruce]

Dunno

We'll probably have to wait a bit

[subtle ibex]

HELL YEA JOIN

[lethal spruce]

But skool

I literally have something scheduled every other day for the next 3 weeks

[brisk bloom]

I am buried in schoolwork as well but money :D

Sleep is unnecessary anyway

[tribal harness]

I think I'm gonna be lucky enough that my school work will be just about wrapped up when the matches start happening

[subtle ibex]

these matches don't take longgg, bet you can squeeze in some time 🙏

[tribal harness]

Ehh like 10 min per match i think is reasonable? How many matches does a single person go through?

[lethal spruce]

....

It usually, for me takes between 20-35 minutes per match. 5 matches per day. Over 7 days.

[subtle ibex]

the quota stacks over those 7 days, so maybe on your off days you can put a good dent into it
obv no pressure if you can't make time!!

[lethal spruce]

What off day

[brisk bloom]

In my experience, usually like 20 minutes is a fair estimate, if they do it like last time where you're meant to play 5 games a day

and assuming the queues aren't atrocious

probably like 2 hours a day

it was a total of 35 matches, every day the maximum you were allowed was increased by 5

so you could also potentially rush them all in the last day but yknow

placing too much faith in the queues

[tribal harness]

Oh cool thanks for sharing

[subtle ibex]

thought u said you had something every other day no

[lethal spruce]

Yeah

But skool

And I'm behind on my college courses

And I have to study for my math placement exams

My schedule is kinda full

Those planned things are stuff like tours, a political conference, a blood drive, another field trip....

[bold blade]

yeah I feel u I got finals coming up plus work but imma force myself to make time for TCG lol

[lethal spruce]

Oh god

I forgot about final exams

[subtle ibex]

oh ok yeah then definitely some priorities to go thru first for sure..
pace yourself, and take your time hopefully by next tourney your life will be much more free haha

[lethal spruce]

It'll be summer break by then, so hopefully.

[subtle ibex]

👍 awesomenesss

[lucid sable]

My Finals are at the end of prelims but my mock exams have been going since last week

[wary heron]

going to asia this patch (the region i actually live in)

so you'll have a duck-free NA server!

[errant stream]

wait u played NA last tournament?

[lucid sable]

Duped me for a good while me thinkin you maimed NA since I didn’t peek out of tavern enough-

[wary heron]

yepz

less players

[errant stream]

huh

now we're swapping places

[wary heron]

ok

go bully NA for me

actually asias too hard

[twilit steppe]

You're using NA account in this tournament...? Omg this tournament just become tougher for me haha

[tribal harness]

Look forward to dueling you all in na! >:)

[strange peak]

I could go to EU, but where's the fun in that?

(Also I don't want to wake at 7 am just for play)

[cursive viper]

Come EU

[wary heron]

yep i should go back to playing in na just because more than 50% of player population is asian

[wary heron]

ok fk i might go back to na after this extremely extensive long thought process

[errant stream]

[quick forum]

did the tournament start already or nah

[brisk bloom]

Starts in five days or something around that

[quick forum]

okay cool

[bold widget]

Alright, time to not be over 180 days of welkin this time

[south cypress]

yo guys is the prize only moon resin = 60 resin?

[lethal spruce]

No?

Where does it say that?

[south cypress]

Join the Preliminary Phase of the Cat's Tail Gathering Season 1 Tournament and secure a spot in the raffle with 150 Blessing of the Welkin Moons!

[frozen pike]

it's not Resin

[lethal spruce]

Yes, it says welkin moons.

You know

The ones where you get 90 primos for 30 days?

[south cypress]

oh

now i understand thank it's just English isn't my main + i am F2P

so i didn't understand what then meant by welkin moons i though it was fragile resin

[lethal spruce]

Yeh, they do look like moons

[summer thicket]

if i login and get no welkin notification, did i not get one lol

[south cypress]

i am lvl 10 in TCG so i though of signing in

[lethal spruce]

Might as well. You got nothing to lose.

[lethal spruce]

Yup

[quick forum]

i thought the prize was $1000?

[subtle ibex]

you are able to get a place in a raffle for a welkin if you meet the requirements as listed in #🎫register
all the top prizes are also listed there, including the $1000 for first place!!

[quick forum]

oh okay cool!!!

[iron lily]

How exactly do these matches work?
Like do you accumulate points in game somehow or

[subtle ibex]

Once the registration period is done (which if you haven't done yet, go do it asap!), then preliminaries will start, which is then where a new channel will pop up with a way to queue with others who are also matchmaking 👍
Sussy Paimon handles everything from making matches, score keeping, leaderboards, etc! So as long as you follow the instructions, it's quite a seamless experience to use but of course, if there's any questions you have, definitely check #1096770459892191284 or just ping one of us here ;D

[iron lily]

Ohh that clears it up thank you!
