Just signed up! I have no clue how this is gonna turn out thanks to timezone differences, but I think it'll be fun

If you have enough dedication, you can simply forsake things like “sleeping” for the sake of the digital card game

subtle ibex
#

yall... please don't forgo sleep just to make time for this tourney 😂 we have dedicated times for matchmaking that open for each region, so this won't be something that will ruin your sched! (hopefully speaking..)

timid helm
#

just registered too! i had lots of fun in the last tournament even if i was a noob cri i have better decks now though! looking forward to playing again!

quick forum
#

how exactly do we get exp btw?

timid helm
#

last tournament was during my break, ill have to wait until the evening windows for my matches this round PepeHands

timid helm
# quick forum how exactly do we get exp btw?

"Q9. How is the ranking for Preliminary Phase calculated?
A9. Score > EXP > Strikes (the lower the better) > Win rate > Last played match (the earlier the better) > Registration date (the earlier the better)" (from the last tournament)

#

exp is the number of matches, whether you won or loss :)

quick forum
#

yeah… but how to get the xp

#

ohhh

#

i see

timid helm
#

last tournaments exp system was +1 for each match and an additional +10 if you won the match

#

no penalty for losses

quick forum
#

oh! nice

#

if you want to make it to knockout do you have to win one preliminary phase game or …?

timid helm
#

you have to make it on the top 16 leaderboard to qualify for knockouts

quick forum
#

i see

#

how do you climb the leaderboard exactly?

#

do you just win a bunch of games

timid helm
#

thats the main thing

#

in the quote i sent earlier it shows which factors are prioritized in the rankings

#

so score is the most important factor in your rank

quick forum
#

got it

#

score = exp right

strange peak
#

hmmm... exp is the number of matches played

timid helm
#

uhhh if i recall correctly exp is just your number of matches, while score is your number of matches + your wins

quick forum
#

oh maaan

#

thats going to be a LOT of games

timid helm
#

so i.e if you played 15 matches and won 10 your exp would be 15, but your score would be 105

quick forum
#

ohh i see

timid helm
#

OVER hundreds

#

two hundreds, three hundreds

quick forum
#

30 games if you win all of them

#

seems easy

timid helm
#

did the amount of matches per day/days we have in the preliminary round decrease? last tournament we had 35 games total EulaThink_Eri

quick forum
#

oh probably not

#

but i guess if someone were to aim for 300 they would have to do 30

#

do you know when they release the times for each day ?

timid helm
#

sometime after registration ends and before the preliminaries begin

#

updates are given throughout the tournament as well

quick forum
#

oh cool

#

thank you!

#

good luck in the tournament

timid helm
#

np! good luck to you too!

Also good luck in the tournament everyone!

T minus 7 hours and 32 minutes till I start my 0-35 score goal

lucid sable
#

Even if you play fast games are about 10-15 minutes and even if you have instant queues thats only about 32 if you wait till the last day

#

and therell be lulls in the queue where you wait for 10 minutes and nothing-

It was worse second time for me

#

Hey guys

#

So many familiar nicknames

#

Y'all taking the bait again?

brisk bloom
#

I mean, have you seen the prizes?

#

how could we not?

shadow tartan
#

They're huge yeah

#

I didnt think it would go higher

#

Sadge thing is I am nearly a working man

#

Don't have as much time as I had before

#

I'll try my best though, as we all should!

brisk bloom
#

yeah remember when people were grinding their lives away in hopes of getting that Welkin?

#

it's certainly upscaled a lot

#

at least the 5 duels a day really lessens the time you need to invest

#

I personally am going to be really damn busy with finals this week, so I am extremely grateful for that cap

shadow tartan
#

Wait, what?

#

We have a cap, FR??

brisk bloom
#

oh you didn't look at the ruleset?

#

basically there's a limited amount of duels you can play, starting at 5

#

and every day the cap goes up by another 5 until the end of the week, at 35

#

so you're not forced to just do 5 a day either, if you miss a day you can just do the duels another day

#

so in theory, you could just speedrun it all in the last two days as well, though it is not at all recommended

shadow tartan
#

No way it's gonna happen, yeah

#

You gotta run for you life for barely 10 matches in 4 hours

#

I admit I didn't read the rules, yeah

brisk bloom
#

the queue times have gotten significantly better and they made the ready queues not last 15 seconds

#

but yeah still no way to squeeze that in so quickly

shadow tartan
#

Oooh boy!

#

So many quality of life changes

brisk bloom
#

you have a whole minute to confirm now, so you won't miss it if you look away for 3 seconds anymore :)))

#

also now the scoring is +10 for a win and +1 for a loss

shadow tartan
#

It's nice to having the risk to go negative

#

But the gap got way bigger, whoa!

#

Also having to mind the cap, that's a bit harsh

#

I barely reached 30 points after 60 matches so yeah... haha

#

Less room for me to be bad

brisk bloom
#

yeah it's a lot less forgiving, but at least having 35 points is less demoralizing than whatever Ren had going on the other tournament

#

they hit like -18 or something like that I think, didn't think it could go so low

#

the eventual comeback was very hype but like I would rather end up with 35 than -18

shadow tartan
#

Ren made the comeback of a lifetime

#

Blackpink also did a great job

brisk bloom
#

yeah I did not think they were gonna get out of the negatives

#

I don't think I saw them last tournament sadly :(

#

still really nice to see the recurring players, it's a very fun community

shadow tartan
#

They got reaaaal low on the negatives, but managed to appear on the leaderboard for a couple of hours befores the matchmaking was cut short

brisk bloom
#

and as you might expect, SI is still reigning at the top

shadow tartan
#

Blackpink went from "oh, free points and a nice friend to talk with for 10 minutes :)" to "oh no I got matched with Blackpink I'm gonna lose but at least have fun fooling around"

#

I figured lol

#

I havent open Genshin since the last tournament

brisk bloom
#

it's really nice watching people improve, even though it's just random players on the internet I still get a weird sense of pride and joy from it

shadow tartan
#

Time to update my knowledge with the new cards

#

Yeah, I get that!

Anyway, I gotta bounce!

My family is at my throat, I'm taking too long to ready myself up and we have to leave

#

Nice meeting old friends, do take care!

#

brisk bloom
#

AoE damage has just been really dominant, kinda annoying to play against

#

oh goodbye, good luck on the tourney ^^

onyx bison
#

so if you missed 2 yesterday you can play 7 matches the next day

royal sky
#

How does matchmaking work, do I just play in the game like normal?...

brisk bloom
#

when it opens, you go to the preliminary queue channel and press the start button there

#

then it'll find a match after some time

#

throw you into a room with your opponent with access to their uid

#

then at the end post a screenshot of you landing the final blow or if you lost, just any screenshot of the match

strange peak
#

Are the required screenshots the same as the 1st tournament? (Start with UID and last hit?)

lucid sable
#

Cant play this first sesh but the one tonight I can

#

I registered for the tournmanet, when do I know when to play?

quaint lantern
#

So

crystal tapir
#

How does preliminary match matching work? Will queue pair against random opponent or try to match people with similar win records

quaint lantern
#

How does it work HeheSmile

quaint lantern
#

I’m so confused

#

See, I took like three days to get myself unbanned to register into this TCG tourney HeheSmile

shadow tartan
#

No need to panic, there's a ton of info you'll get to read once you get matched with someone

#

@crystal tapir @quaint lantern
I'll explain how it worked back when I first participated, dunno if things changed

#

When the matchmaking period begins, all you have to do is press the button on the bottom of the #preliminary-queue channel

#

The bot will do all the work, and match you up with (i guess) someone with a close XP count to yours, or simply with the only other guy or gal on the queue at the same time.

#

Which means even if you have zero XP you still have a chance to go against the top scorer.

#

Once you get matched up, just press the confirmation button to confirm you're ready, and a private channel between you and your opponent will open.

#

Do remember to be polite and have fun, we're all friends here!

#

If anything happens during the match just ping the moderator on the created private channel.

crystal tapir
#

Is there a tournament detail page in one place

#

Hard to go to different locations just to find one section if tournament details

tough crown
#

Can I check if I'm properly registered for the tournament?

shadow tartan
#

@tough crown I'm unsure, but it would be too late to send in a new profile

#

Let's hope it's all set, you'll find out in 3 hours :)

shadow tartan
#

But don't worry, there's only 3 places you have to mind:

#
  1. The soon-to-be-opened leaderboard for this tournament, so you can see if you're in the top 16 (qualified contenders)
#
  1. The private channels which open whenever you find your opponent. These contain all the rules you need to know for your match.
#

Along with detailed explanation of which moments you need to screenshot in order to verify your win or participation

#

But overall, don't worry!

#

Once you do one or two matches you'll be set to go!

jaunty python
#

When we get a match in the prelim queue do we need to screenshare in the private room?

#

Trying to figure out the logistics on mobile PaimonPeek

shadow tartan
#

Oh, no no

#

There was the same misunderstanding before, all that is needed is one screenshot of each player

#

I never made it past prelims, but this is how we do for now

#

Summarizing, you just need to screenshot the loading screen before the match.

#

You'll be able to read the details once you match with another player

#

But basically just make sure your UID and both the nicknames are shown.

#

You don't need to enter a voice chat or anything, this is a introvert-friendly prelim 😉

#

After the match, notify the bot with the specified command, type either "win" or "lose", and sent it while attaching the screenshot.

#

The prelim didn't start yet though

#

Two more hours until we begin!

lucid sable
#

Breh-

#

That's 8 to 12pm

safe plaza
#

the schedule is kind of confusing, but if you look at the prelim schedule as a whole, it doesn't start until 9 PM EDT

lucid sable
#

What is this-

safe plaza
#

so it starts 2 hours into the evening window in NA

lucid sable
#

hio;fazhfoa; ok...

shadow tartan
#

Which is actually a bit upsetting, yes

#

If we're limited by day, why do start so late

lucid sable
#

Ew

This is ugly

it used to be like 6 to 8 EDT iirc

i havent played tcg since the tournament since i got burnt out on it lol

#

without being to specific about the spoilers, leaks for next patch look like they're going to add a lot of variety

shadow tartan
#

I quit Genshin right after the first tournament

shadow tartan
#

Had it not been my greed for the huge prize, I wouldn't have even signed up to find out this new scheduling

brisk bloom
#

I honestly feel like I would have quit Genshin by now were it not for the tcg, Im a sucker for card games and I love the weekly tournaments in the GITCG discord

edgy orbit

im probably gonna be taking a big break from genshin anyway once hsr comes out but maybe if i get into the tcg again frogchair_dance

oh well, getting halfway there is pretty good, especially considering I'm assuming they throw an ungodly amount of wishes for the first few quests like in Genshin

edgy orbit
#

im not sure how many free pulls we'll be getting but it should be a decent amount. the thing with the beta was they gave out pulls semi regularly as you played through just for testing purposes, but its pretty easy to get pulls regardless

lucid sable

So it is confirmed that matching is random and not against similar win records like swiss?

brisk bloom

is submitting a screenshot of the duel log allowed? I think that would be good enough if someone forgot to ss

and see who won in NA

I got matched against Ark, who was the only other one with a win at the time besides myself, so it either has some weight or there's a conspiracy afoot

Based on the last tournament

I gotta finish some schoolwork first but I'll see if I can get those 5 matches done

Dw if you can't cuz it goes over

brisk bloom

yeah you can finish them another day

#

you're not limited to 5 a day, the cap just increases

lucid sable

CynoSip have you lost your 4 match Imi...

brisk bloom

I think I might lose this competition :(

lucid sable

Dem

#

I wonder if anybody'll go 350 pts

brisk bloom
#

I highly doubt it

#

maybe like 314

lucid sable
#

Wonder how many will get 300+ then

#

that's at least 7/1 win rate yes?

#

30/35

#

oh

#

wait

brisk bloom
#

SI went like 34-4 or something last time at some point iirc

lucid sable
#

thats 6/7

#

ooh

brisk bloom
#

don't remember too well, it's been a while

crystal tapir
#

what score do you guys think makes top cut

rich wasp
#

probably 26-9+ is safe for NA

brisk bloom
#

but I think there's a lot of newer players here because big prize money, so getting a higher score will be a bit easier for the top players

lucid sable
#

If the gods dont match you up with the pros-

brisk bloom
#

I think at least 22-13 should be enough to guarantee it

lucid sable
#

I am 2-1 as of now

crystal tapir
#

;-;

brisk bloom
#

maybe you'll need less, but I'm not sure since I think the best scores are gonna be a lot higher than last time

#

depends on just how many new players there are

wait until you encounter a eula with 12 stacks on burst

if you want to counter the 2nemo control decks, you can either go a summon deck like the dreaded MMEC or something with an anchor character like Noelle

I wouldn't be surprised if SI will be the only 5-0 today

onyx bison

yes

no

it will happen

not if you ended the round first without using it

it is scientifically impossible to get Eula burst off

it doesn't matter if the opponent isn't even running it

it will get Sent Off
