[wary heron]

NA really the chill region

[lucid sable]

What about EU?

[wary heron]

meanwhile asians being like "NOOO I GOT 4-1"

[lucid sable]

Ahhh gotta practice my new deckkkk

[eager mesa]

25-9

I'm already 1-4

[wary heron]

eu hasnt started yet for today

[lucid sable]

Ahhh

I believe

[wary heron]

so we still dunno

[lucid sable]

You can do it

[wary heron]

[lucid sable]

https://tenor.com/view/mihoyo-genshin-impact-genshin-klee-abyss-mage-gif-20176333

[wary heron]

dw you can do it just dodge the diceofcringe

and dodge the good players

[eternal musk]

usually i don't have problems with dice, but the curse of cards of cringe occurs to me.

[eager mesa]

I clearly am not capable of the first part

[lucid sable]

replace IHLY with double toss up

[wary heron]

[wary heron]

anyway bye

[lethal spruce]

Lel I just lost

A big skill issue

[misty harbor]

They cheated definitely

no way

your last minute deck lost

[lethal spruce]

Lmao

Pinky too stronk

Too big brain

Anyhoo, gotta speedrun these matches

I wanna go gym

[misty harbor]

lol get them gains too

[lethal spruce]

[slow mason]

I finally lost

3-1 now

[soft berry]

you would have one if i didn't top decked adeptus

gg

[slow mason]

yep that's the worst part

I saw it coming but didnt want to believe it

[wary heron]

[slow mason]

just watched the replay

it was an actual top deck on the last turn

[wary heron]

[soft berry]

yeah

[slow mason]

honestly still expected because you had such few cards left

I assume you have two copies

[soft berry]

nah only one

[slow mason]

welp

skill issue on my part then

luck is a part of skill after all

[arctic valve]

well, i just had a game with 3 turns without enough dices to cast at least one skill

luck is a really hard to swallow factor sometimes in this game

[fast frost]

Yeah

[wary heron]

its been 5 minutes

queue nonexistent

[twilit steppe]

Maybe a lot people already finished their quota, me included haha

[wary heron]

[gaunt mica]

it's also real early for a lot of na

[errant stream]

yeah

like 5-7AM ish?

[wary heron]

yea, and its 10pm here

[gaunt mica]

west coast it's 7 am

[mystic wharf]

Lost by 1 hp

[gaunt mica]

east is 10 am now, though before they changed the queue it would still be a slower start

[wary heron]

[slow mason]

alright it's over

[crystal tapir]

no like fr tho... its impossible to get a 80% winrate and qualify if you get match against any decent opponent

[slow mason]

4-1 isn't too bad but I feel like I could have done better

[wary heron]

at least you arent 4-0 with no queue

OH NVM THE QUEUE CAME

[slow mason]

4-0 is better

[arctic valve]

guys i need a mod

who can i ping

[errant stream]

contact @abstract briar the modmail

[twilit steppe]

4-1 is great in here IMHO... in Asia server however.. you will struggle I think

[errant stream]

[arctic valve]

@abstract briar need you

[hexed lance]

Hey, If today I can’t play, does my game accumulate to 10 in next day?

[arctic valve]

nvm

[wary heron]

yeye

[errant stream]

you message them directly... not ping cuz it's a bot

[wary heron]

5-0

[errant stream]

ok to be fair my 1 lose is a skill issue

[twilit steppe]

Wow that's amazing... I wish that were me haha

[twilit steppe]

Me except for two of them

[slow mason]

congrats

[wary heron]

time to slepe

[mystic wharf]

Is it 5 per day or per queue?

[wary heron]

5 per day, but carries over

[gaunt mica]

^ quote just increases each day

you could technically do all 35 on the last day if you feel rather masochistic

if you could fit them in the time window at least

[fast frost]

Practicing in random matches and I won every match. So does my luck just ensure I only lose when it counts?

[eternal musk]

maybe your hidden mmr is just too low to be finding real good players.

[muted cairn]

Random match making is the worst place to learn tcg

[eternal musk]

you can keep playing and winning until you reach an mmr where the best players start to show up.
the downside is that then it will take you 5m+ to find players of similar level.

or you can just go to a certain dedicated server and play directly against better players.

[errant stream]

Did you guys know?

new card back can be purchased after u finish the event

[fast frost]

I’m going to try and do that in another server I’m in

[twilit steppe]

Oh yeah you're right.. Idk if I want to spend100 mats for that though haha

[wary heron]

i pulled for stardust to exchange for the mats so i can excehange for it

[twilit steppe]

Wow you really want that card back haha

[wary heron]

nah

i just dont play genshin

[fast frost]

I have a ton of treasure hunter coins so 100 of them is nothing

[twilit steppe]

Ah that's understandable.. after Sumeru release and especially TCG release, I honestly don't care that much about the main game either haha

[lethal spruce]

Wait really

[crystal tapir]

ive had 1 hour queues before 💀

[twilit steppe]

Yes you need to spend 100 silver treasure insignia thingy though haha

[errant stream]

[twilit steppe]

Me in the very first tournament haha...

[crystal tapir]

no i meant in random matchmaking in game

[lethal spruce]

Omg thank you aaaaa

I got it

New card back

Gotta get em all

[twilit steppe]

Omg... I thought 24 minutes is already bad

[crystal tapir]

the timer resets to 00:00 at 1 hour so i didnt get a screenshot of it :(

was streaking it in tcg server tho

here was the last ss i took

[lethal spruce]

Lmaooooo

Omg

[crystal tapir]

i eventually gave up around 1h 10m

[lethal spruce]

Howww

[crystal tapir]

ask hoyo 💀

[twilit steppe]

Maybe your opponents got scared at that Nahida EC haha

[muted cairn]

MMR too high

[lethal spruce]

The longest I've had to wait was 3 minutes

[errant stream]

[lethal spruce]

And I ended matching with the same person 3 times in a row

[crystal tapir]

you either match with a top player 10 games in a row or you dont match with anyone at all

[quaint patrol]

I won a preliminary round and the person canceled it, then kicked me from the world, what should I do?

[frozen pike]

reversed skill issue

[lethal spruce]

Report them

[twilit steppe]

I think that's a reportable offense

[frozen pike]

please use #📨contact-qixing line number 9 to report

[lethal spruce]

Use #📨contact-qixing , and hit option 9

Lel

Hi nopnop

I has question

[frozen pike]

it's best to follow the instruction in the room that you were in with the problematic player

[errant stream]

[eternal musk]

damn. 💀

[lethal spruce]

What's the max number of times we can match with the same person this time? Still 3?

[frozen pike]

it's 2

imagine reading FAQ

[lethal spruce]

Too many words

[crystal tapir]

faq? more like frequently avoided questions

[frozen pike]

it's only 32 questions

[crystal tapir]

wait i didnt mean to queue

oh well guess will have to play a game

[lethal spruce]

[lethal spruce]

Exactly a whole 32

[crystal tapir]

is their no way of cancelling the preliminary queue

[lethal spruce]

You can just ignore when you match up with someone?

[crystal tapir]

issok will just play in morning instead of night

[twilit steppe]

I don't have to match with Atilla again yayy (<- skill issue)

[lethal spruce]

Atilla scary

I wanna match with Atilla to get my 2 losses done with

[quaint patrol]

It's asking me for the room number, but I don't have it or don't know how to get it?

[errant stream]

[frozen pike]

check #preliminary-queue and inside the thread list (icon below), select the one that had problem and get the room number

[errant stream]

https://tenor.com/view/reading-sign-cant-stop-me-no-one-can-stop-me-gif-13921932

[frozen pike]

looks like a biohazardous room, dont do it

[errant stream]

every TCG player who skill issues

oh wait

[quaint patrol]

Got it, thanks

[errant stream]

inside that room is Nahida EC

[jaunty python]

Wow is Nahida EC the new boogeyman

[errant stream]

it's a good and bad deck at the same time

dont play it

until u believe in the heart of the dice

[jaunty python]

Hmm so kinda like Ganyu superconduct where everybody highrolls 5 omni, got it

[errant stream]

pretty much

[eternal musk]

so this deck is basically used when...

[errant stream]

a lot of people already "entered that room"

i must say... they got baited so hard

[mystic wharf]

Ending 2-2 so far, one L from skill issue and one from cringe dice

[green ivy]

The opponent not responding. @dark swan

[misty harbor]

Ending on a 1-3

the first two were a skill issue and the second one was my opponents were better than me

fucking Jean and her swirl

I was robbed 😂

[errant stream]

contact / message @abstract briar

[wary heron]

#📨contact-qixing

[crystal tapir]

Is it possible to search stats of a player that isnt myself

I want to stalk my friends see how everyone is doing

[south tiger]

no

but this is NA so if your friends are decent you will see them eventually

[errant stream]

[wary heron]

[lucid sable]

Even 16th place is 5-0

In Asia 💀

[lethal spruce]

Scary

[lucid sable]

Ahhhh

I wonder how many will go like 34-1

Or maybe even 35-0

;-;

[twilit steppe]

Several people managed to do that in the last tournament I think, which is scary haha.. I wonder if it will repeat again

[lucid sable]

Wonder if anybody here will manage 35-0

💀

[twilit steppe]

Not me that's for sure

[lucid sable]

🙏🏻 it’s okayyyy

[wary heron]

definitelynot me

[lucid sable]

You can still qualify

[wary heron]

after reviewing my games i was actually really losing in one of them

[lucid sable]

~_~ duck will do fine

[wary heron]

my opponent just threw hard

[wary heron]

who's duck

[lucid sable]

Duck

🦆

[wary heron]

[twilit steppe]

Yeah that play from that player was.. something

[lucid sable]

https://tenor.com/view/duck-gif-26090688

[wary heron]

[twilit steppe]

Haha thank you

[wary heron]

anyway good luck qualifying

[twilit steppe]

Thank you and good luck to everyone else too

[wary heron]

[crystal tapir]

35-0 not happen before

[wary heron]

[pearl fern]

Good luck everyone timing didn't work out to join this season either but hopefully i make it next time

[wary heron]

skill issue

[violet garnet]

I was up til 2am helping my bro with MTG stuff. So I slept through the first window. I'll see some of you tonight I think

[crystal tapir]

Dwdw it stacks

Gl with games tonight!

[violet garnet]

Yeah so I read. It's 5 games per 24hr period? 7 period making 35 games through the week yes? But the windows are short. Best get them in with reasonable time to spare? @crystal tapir

And ty.

[crystal tapir]

14 periods

[violet garnet]

I should have said 7 days of 24 hr. 14 windows to play

[crystal tapir]

Approx 3-4 games per hour

The strat rn is to not queue because later this week a bunch of good players will be at astra

[violet garnet]

Lmfao. Or practicing.

My offer still stands btw.

I'm on medical leave for a while so I'm free most of the time.

[crystal tapir]

Id be down but need a smol break from tcg so grinding arcade today

[violet garnet]

Arcade?

[crystal tapir]

Trying to learn rhythm game but i suck

xD

[violet garnet]

Oh. Right on. I play fighting games. I struggle with rhythm. Hope you have a refreshing break from tcg!.

[limpid orbit]

Sup, hope everyone's having a wonderful day/night.

[tropic slate]

If I'm busy for both of the competition windows on Sunday (the last day for which the preliminaries are open) am I just stuck at only 30 games and can't go up to 35 by the end?

or are there flex days

[lethal spruce]

You have, until whenever this time says for you, to finish all 35 of your matches.

[tropic slate]

right, but you can only do matches within those two windows per day, right?

and the max number of matches you can do goes up every day, so you're forced to do at least some matches on the last day

if I can't make room for that last day on my schedule am I just out of luck for those points?

[rugged sequoia]

Alright time for cards, man I'm anxious since I've never done this tournament before

[brisk bloom]

it's alright, we got a lot of friendly people here :D

at least from the regulars I recognize

[rugged sequoia]

I'm not like a pro TCG player but I really enjoy it and play a lot so I'm giving it a try

Uh.. my confirmation message just.. switched to a different language? Is the bot buggin?

[brisk bloom]

if it's anything like last time, probably what happens when you match against someone with a different language

[brisk bloom]

it's alright, can't get anywhere without some practice after all :D

[misty harness]

we're on the same boat. I don't even do co-op in this game so the anxiety before a match is real it's much more fun than just queueing up with randoms though

[frigid sundial]

Who should I contact if opponent not conclude the match...

[lucid sable]

IMI WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT WIN-LOSE RATE?!

[visual fable]

#📨contact-qixing

[brisk bloom]

unimportant

[visual fable]

I think its there, you need the room number

[lucid sable]

VERY MUCH SO

[frigid sundial]

Tysm 🥲

[brisk bloom]

go and figure yours out first >.>

[lucid sable]

:(

I’m eating dinner

Haven’t started queuing yetttt

[brisk bloom]

ask me later then-

[lucid sable]

Rude

Ok

[brisk bloom]

youre the one asking intrusive questions >.>

[lucid sable]

I’m just asking as a friend

[brisk bloom]

and as a friend, Im telling you to get through your own matches before asking

[rugged sequoia]

Oh god I was so stressed, I just BARELY managed to secure a win in my first match, my opponent was tough

[crystal tapir]

Just a suggestion but maybe an extra day without adding quota at the end can be good for people who specifically cant make the last day of the preliminaries for future tournaments

[lucid sable]

^^ congrats

[brisk bloom]

youre going to go 35-0, I can feel it in my bones

[lucid sable]

And I will out-lose you my bones say so-

[brisk bloom]

your bones can't speak

[rugged sequoia]

Ha no way, I know there's way better players out there

[lucid sable]

OFC they can you non-beleafer

[rich wasp]

i think it would be better if the quota was capped at 30 and everyone just had an extra day without a quota increase yeah

not sure though

[crystal tapir]

35 is fine but just make it 8 days

But yea rn it really sucks for people who got stuff to do and have no way of making up 1 missed session

[alpine igloo]

Hey

Is there any way to drop out of the tournament?

I went 1-3 on my first 4 games so Im clearly not making it to top 16 lol

[crystal tapir]

No need to drop just dont queue up

[alpine igloo]

Kk thx

[lethal spruce]

@frozen pike

[rose perch]

dont drop out lol. Play the 5 games and be in the raffle for the welkin. After that just dont play anymore.

[hybrid whale]

Forgot to reply back, sorry Mistake if you see this gg!

[twilit steppe]

I'm not even in the leaderboard omg this is so embarrassing

[rose perch]

They should increase the leaderboard to like 20 or something. Also I only see random numbers cant tell who is who.

[limpid orbit]

Yeah I wish I could see who's who

[crystal tapir]

it is a bug

that hasnt been fixed for a while

[limpid orbit]

Ah I thought you could set yourself as incognito or something. Strange bug

[crystal tapir]

you can still trace id to user but its a lil annoying

for example your id is 294256751442788352

[jaunty python]

Im pretty sure it just means that person isn’t logged in

[limpid orbit]

@crystal tapir uuhhh....nooo its not haha..

[visual fable]

Is it possible to compete against the person twice in a row?

[crystal tapir]

it is...

[limpid orbit]

Yes I think

[inner dagger]

Yes

[limpid orbit]

@crystal tapir 😳

How do you do that btw?

[crystal tapir]

i have dev mode

[limpid orbit]

Oh makes sense

[twilit steppe]

Yeah you can check the IDs via Discord ID lookup websites etc... it's kind of annoying to do that though

[rugged sequoia]

I'm 2-1 rn, I'm doing better than I thought but omg I'm so stressed, I gotta take a lil break before doing my last 2 matches

[lucid sable]

0-1

I goofed so bad

;-; brains tired and can't do math to calculate my diceeee

[limpid orbit]

Doing great guys. Don't give up so soon since it's just the first day. Do your best and learn from this experience.

[lucid sable]

;-; shenemooooooooooo no

[deep plank]

It's hard to match up with some people lol

[hybrid whale]

First time participating, first day 4-1. Not bad? 🤔

Person who beat me won all 5 of their matches so I don’t feel too bad lol

[rich wasp]

xd

[brisk wolf]

are we allowed to switch decks as many times as we like?

[hybrid whale]

lol ggs

Didn’t protect Zhongli enough

Was a good learning exp

[hybrid whale]

Pretty sure you can

[gaunt mica]

yeah, you can

[lucid sable]

2-2 so far

not too bad

;-; as long as I keep my win:lose ratio at least 1:1 I'll feel good

[rich wasp]

7 5-0s in NA

3 5-0s in EU

and im ranked 44th globally

so that means theres

34 5-0s in asia

aight

[lucid sable]

Yeeesh-

[rich wasp]

wait more than that

36

[twilit steppe]

Omg..

[lucid sable]

Yikes . . .

How many Asia players are there even?

[deep plank]

I mean, everyday they give one more match?

I see that in faq

[rich wasp]

5 more

yeah

just trying to use this as a comparision of server size and difficulty to qualify

[twilit steppe]

Also uh if there's 36 5-0 in Asia it's kind of unfair for people who don't queue early.. because the leaderboard is based on who finish faster right

[crystal tapir]

just scale with server size

[crystal tapir]

at the end it usually doesnt matter

[rich wasp]

mattered last time for asia actually

i think 1 or 2 people were tied at 28-7 and didnt make it

or rather

[twilit steppe]

Yeah

[rich wasp]

5 people were tied at 28-7 and 2 of those 5 didnt make it

[tropic slate]

surely they tiebreak with opponent wr

[crystal tapir]

💀

honestly idk why they included winrate because its never used as tie break

since score and exp are already used as tie break and winrate is after

[gaunt mica]

last played match is a really weird tie breaker

[lucid sable]

Arggggggggh so close ;-; 2-3

If I had ended first I woulda wonnnnnn

[inner dagger]

I really feel that ;n;

[lucid sable]

n<

[inner dagger]

I thougt i was ready but have much to learn >n<

[limpid orbit]

This is very good practice. You're both doing great don't worry

[lucid sable]

pspspsps @wary heron when'd you register? Since you're close to the top you have to have registered first-

[inner dagger]

Yeah i don't feel to sad indeed i'm to excited to keep learning

[twilit steppe]

I think in addition to early registration, she also finished the matches quite fast? Idk though I'm not her

[lucid sable]

Wait

does match finish time go before registration time?

Or the other way around should two people be tied points wise

2-3 ;-; 23 points

Brrrrrrt

Gonna cook new decks and pray

[twilit steppe]

According to the FAQ yes I think and that explains the Asia leaderboard..

[limpid orbit]

@inner dagger Yeah that's a good mindset! I scored 1-4 on my first day the first cats tail gathering lol

I learned along the way though. Now I got a better score this time around

[twilit steppe]

You're top 8 in Astra Carnival right? Wow your improvement is amazing

[limpid orbit]

The first astra carnival yeah haha @twilit steppe

Couldn't make it to top 8 in the recent astra carnival but that's part of the game. Can't win them all

[inner dagger]

Look like i'm gonna get the dame resulta today

[limpid orbit]

Yeah it happens, we all begin to learn somewhere. This is a good learning experience @inner dagger

[cyan pasture]

is it normal that you can queue the same person again and they know what you are playhing, so they swap deck to counter?

[limpid orbit]

"Each battle, a chance to grow" - Byleth

@cyan pasture yeah you can fight them twice. Once you've seen them twice you won't see them again

[cyan pasture]

thank you thank you

[limpid orbit]

No problem

[deep plank]

Do you know who can i reach out for

if there's a problem when confirming the result

interaction failed it says

oh it's fine now

[twilit steppe]

Wow the top 8 is amazing IMHO🤓👍 As for the second Astra are you talking about the Prince Cup? Well that's unfortunate, better luck next time...🙏

[lethal spruce]

Stronk

Scary...

[limpid orbit]

@twilit steppe yes the prince cup one. We win some we lpse some. All good

[lethal spruce]

Time to migrate to eu....

[limpid orbit]

Lets migrate to Asia servers hahaha......

[lethal spruce]

Noooo

Anything but them

So many 5-0 on day one....

[limpid orbit]

0-35

[lethal spruce]

Me fr

[gilded notch]

Do I still need to post the win picture like last season?

[lethal spruce]

Nope

Anyhoo

[gilded notch]

I see, that makes sense, i was confused for a while

[lethal spruce]

Wait nvm

[limpid orbit]

Only if there's an issue with you or the opponent @gilded notch

[lethal spruce]

There's apparently a super secret special tool that they're using this time

[limpid orbit]

Honestly I don't know what it is. I just entered win or lose after giconclude.

Unless that's what it is

[mystic wharf]

Man, Raiden quicken teams ramp hard

If only I had more invite letters

[limpid orbit]

Yup they do. Lots of quicken

By the way this if off topic but how do you get those "visions" on your profile? Out of the loop on that

[mystic wharf]

Basically just being active in the server

You can check it out in the bot features chat

[jovial needle]

How long does matchmaking take

[limpid orbit]

Up to 10 mins. Really depends if there are others matchmaking as well @jovial needle

Thanks @mystic wharf

[mystic wharf]

No prob!

[jovial needle]

I see

[hybrid whale]

I wonder what the cutoff for top 16 is going to be since I’m assuming more people are participating compared to last season

[lethal spruce]

Yup, this time, how early you signed up might end up being a huuuge factor in whether or not you get to play in knockouts

[dusky narwhal]

does the match quota go up by 5 per day or does it reset, like if i missed a match today can i "make it up" another day?

[lethal spruce]

Yup, you can. It goes up by 5 per day, so you can hypothetically speedrun them all on the last days.

[hybrid whale]

So best I can do is to play early on Sunday morning?

[wary heron]

sorry for the late reply i just woke up

[lucid sable]

nah its fine

ahhhh fuck

;-; gotta do time conversions

I registered on the 6th at 1:02 am

but that was CDT time

so uhhh

What timezone are you?

[wary heron]

GMT+8

basically i registered at <t:1686032580:f>

[fast river]

how many games can we play exactly

like how many matches limit

[twilit steppe]

35

[wary heron]

EU the true chill region

[jovial needle]

It's definitely much easier to qualify there

[wary heron]

[hallow garden]

hello will I lose match quota if I cancel the match? It has been 10 minutes and my opponent is not responding.

[stiff crypt]

[stiff crypt]

No

[wary heron]

[polar barn]

[deep plank]

There is actually 5 matches added everyday?!

too many matches to play

[gaunt mica]

yep, 35 in total

[deep plank]

holly

[lucid sable]

:0 so I lurked more I see I see

( -v-) not really gonna change much as I’m 2-3 but interesting to note

[wary heron]

[lucid sable]

Might as well just make this an opportunity to test new decks

Once I get 5 wins for welkin

[wary heron]

[arctic valve]

i'm also fine tunning my decks

[deep plank]

I hope to match up with some guys, especially the top ones on the leaderboard

[jovial needle]

Morning na is scary as it is invaded by asia players

[wary heron]

taking my first L

[jovial needle]

What was the matchup

[wary heron]

nahida ec vs pyro kek

but i lowrolled so hard

[jovial needle]

U used nahida ec

Meta abuser 🫵

[wary heron]

i was testing deck

i dont play it much

[jovial needle]

Nicee

I still hate anything that has mmec shadow

[wary heron]

it isnt mmec

i would never play mmec

3x ftk

[arctic valve]

seriously, going second in this game is a curse

[wary heron]

i dont think its going second

it might not necessarily be bad

it might also let you gain an extra tempo after your opponent takes an action to avoid ftk, or stuff

[pearl fern]

it'd be interesting to see the stats on how the coin flip affects win rate

[twilit steppe]

3 of my losses was when I'm using quicken deck.. LOL I really need to learn how to pilot it better

[violet rose]

Huh I just matched with the same person 3 times. I thought we could only match twice?

[wary heron]

no idea

anyway, 4-1 for today

[arctic valve]

The issue with going second, is that, if you dont have a fast swap card at hand, you are in control of reactions, they will trigger the reaction first and thats is a big disadvantage

[arctic valve]

me too!! 😄

[wary heron]

[pearl fern]

definitely listed as 2 in the FAQ, if you matched 3 times might wanna flag it with tourney staff

[frozen pike]

their names are different, they are just quite similar

[crystal tapir]

should be 2 times for the whole 35 games right?

[frozen pike]

yup, during the entirety of the tourney

[violet rose]

Uhh I used the same uid. If it was a different person I played the wrong person 1 game

[eternal musk]

you can just start with a different character if you don't have some kind of fast swap and then, on your turn, instead of attacking, switch to the character you initially intended.
Liu Su does well in this kind of situation. it's not ideal, but you avoid FTK in double pyro decks.

[frozen pike]

not sure what you mean, but if you wanna talk in detail, pls reach out to a CTG Mod via #📨contact-qixing

[limpid orbit]

Wow I just realized that Nahida EC was decently popular.

[violet rose]

I used the same UID to enter the person's world, so it's not just a similar name.

It was actually the same person

[mortal furnace]

Anyone know how to appear anonymous on the leaderboard?

[twilit steppe]

I don't think that's possible at the moment.. just hope it's your Discord ID that appears and people don't bother to check it I guess🤓

[frozen pike]

could you check your own thread list in #preliminary-queue and let me know the round numbers that this occurred?

[twilit steppe]

I can understand the popularity, it could be powerful if used right haha

[jovial needle]

Who is no.1 na

[limpid orbit]

Yeah I agree. It's funny because I made that deck on accident since all I did was replace ganyu for nahida 😅 @twilit steppe

[twilit steppe]

Omg you accidentally made a meta deck? That's kind of interesting & funny haha

[limpid orbit]

I always wanted to make hyperbloom work but options were limited. Until now

Yes lol. Mine consists of sara, nahida and mona@twilit steppe

Idk what the actual meta deck has for support cards but I use dunyarzad.

[violet rose]

Nevermind I was mistaken.

[twilit steppe]

Oh yeah I remember fighting your Ganyu variant in the last Cat's Tail Gathering haha..

[white cipher]

Hey guys how many people are playing and how many go through after 19th? Kinda new here

[twilit steppe]

Oh yeah before the current patch, the last time I used a hyperbloom team was at 3.3 back when the Sidewinder isn't nerfed haha

[twilit steppe]

I don't think the former data are open to public (?) but as for the latter, it will be maximum of 16 people each server I think

[white cipher]

Ahhhh I see I see Thank you!

[limpid orbit]

Oh you remember? Lol yeah it was fun, I got tired of it and placed nahida lol. Now I'm conflicted on using it since I usually refrain from using meta decks

[twilit steppe]

Well yeah I remember partly because I never saw anyone using that deck haha

[limpid orbit]

I'll probably still use it since it's a variant of the meta and I made it without knowledge of it being good lol @twilit steppe

[twilit steppe]

Oh good luck using the deck

[limpid orbit]

Thanks! I'll be using other decks as well since I usually have more fun with geo or anemo resonance.

[rugged crane]

this new perlim time is awesome

thank you tavern team

[crystal tapir]

pls stop giving me knockout players ;-;

[jovial needle]

Same

[twilit steppe]

You're the knockout player in question

[twilit steppe]

Same🙏

[jovial needle]

U r also one

[south plume]

just a quick question do we no longer use screenshots?

[crystal tapir]

no more screenshot

[south plume]

ah thats good

[wary heron]

[wary heron]

skill issue

[south plume]

i just did a duel and realises the other player put up a agreement but it ended before i post the screenshot

[ancient spindle]

The time is perfect for AS players too

[crystal tapir]

@lethal spruce i think the lb is broken and not updating

3-3 today... bad day...

[twilit steppe]

Yeah🙏 7 PM - 11 PM & 6 AM - 10 AM is nice for me, no more 2 AM or something like that haha

[twilit steppe]

Yes but I'm like the worst knockout player tbh

[crystal tapir]

no u

[ancient spindle]

[lethal spruce]

@frozen pike

[frozen pike]

@crystal tapir @lethal spruce Discord had a slight performance issue that affected bot, will fix it when the queue is off, which is approximately in 45 minutes max

[pearl fern]

no one compains about being paired against KO players more than KO players

[loud meteor]

does this issue effect our own ranking ?

like when we hit the "my ranking" button

[crystal tapir]

no just top 16 display it appears

[crystal tapir]

tru ^^ xD

[loud meteor]

ok

the game i just played was 😨 definitely intense i thought i was about to win like there was only zhongli with 1 hp left and then my opponent used the egg and was stalling with shields... it went on for 2 or 3 more rounds...

i was getting nervous haha

[south plume]

i really like the new start time for the first que for NA being 7am this way i can catch the games more easily within my schedule

[twilit steppe]

Teyvat Fried Egg and Zhongli? I never saw that type of deck before haha🤓

[twilit steppe]

Same

[loud meteor]

yeah ik!! they were also using lucky dog circlet so they kept shielding and healing and i was trying to chip them down but my dice were not rolling in my favor... i won but oof

the comeback was definitely happening

[deep plank]

what deck are u using

was

[twilit steppe]

Lucky Dog too.. that's definitely a deck I never saw before haha

[loud meteor]

mona/fischl/kaeya

is my deck

[deep plank]

I think fried egg is kinda weird, chars revive without weapons and artifiact

[loud meteor]

they were using zhongli/bennett/noelle

[twilit steppe]

Yeah it's also costly in my personal opinion

[loud meteor]

it's too costly i agree

and with no weapons and artifacts??

[pearl fern]

it's pretty niche. Like it can kinda be good in a really close game where you're down to 1 char each, and often reviving on 1 hp is a whole extra turn

but then if that egg was some other card maybe you would've won already

[deep plank]

what u need is butter crab

[loud meteor]

if they had a real healing card it definitely would've been more of a struggle for me because then zhongli would've been like at 5 hp wtih 3 shield

much more difficult to kill

[deep plank]

zhongli with both his equipments

if u leave him with 1 hp, he shielded up to 1+2+3+3

with just a resonance

[loud meteor]

yup it couldve gone way worse for me

im at 3-2 for today again... some of these players are so good

[onyx bison]

You can do it

[frozen pike]

no, the stats from My Ranking are still updated

[loud meteor]

ooo ok i see thank you 😄

[twilit steppe]

Same

[loud meteor]

ive definitely gotten better than last tournament tho i think 🥺

[onyx bison]

Not i think

You def did

[loud meteor]

aww ur sweet thanks 😄

[wary heron]

butter crab is just lotus but worse

[loud meteor]

i agree with this

[twilit steppe]

Oh that's cool

[wary heron]

[violet garnet]

Na cue starts in 3 hours correct?

Discord isn't synced properly with the device I am on.

[crystal tapir]

Yes around 3 hours

[limpid orbit]

What do you guys think of Nahida's talent card? In hyperbloom teams?

[lethal spruce]

Her talent card is actually pretty useful imo

I've been playing oceanid/nahida/fischl with the talent card

[wary heron]

nahida ec?

it is a strong deck, can exert really high amounts of pressure with highroll

but it just straight up loses to diceofcringe

like me in one of my games earlier

ehhhhhhhhhhh its 5am

[twilit steppe]

I personally don't use it... I just stole Sherry's decklist (sorry Sherry) and Sherry didn't use that card so yeah

[jaunty python]

Uhhh what

bot muted me for a bad word in talking abt Nahida talent

anyway I don't think it's good in hyperbloom because by the time you burst on Nahida you can't really take advantage of the effects

Nahida's burst is one of the few sources of frontloaded damage in that deck, and its used to finish off characters in the later rounds

[lethal spruce]

Yup....all my decks so far are 5-1 in the challenge thing for that reason...

[limpid orbit]

Yeah thanks for the input. I was conflicted about it since it was sometimes useful but most of the time it's not

[violet garnet]

is there a list of the bot commands for the cue?

[raven wyvern]

oh, we don't need to take ss this time?

kinda weird

[lethal spruce]

Nope

[violet garnet]

i am taking them and keeping a folder just in case

[wary heron]

[lethal spruce]

What are braincells

[strange peak]

2 tiny people in our heads that we keep so they can communicate between them

[wary heron]

[lethal spruce]

I think they both went on break

[wary heron]

they didnt go on break

they were never there in the first place

[lethal spruce]

Round 1

Whyyyy

[strange peak]

Oceanid NA pew pew

[lethal spruce]

[strange peak]

but I understand your pain... my rng with dice/cards haven't been the best lately

I even miss Tenshukaku procs

"procs 90% of time" my ass

[wary heron]

skill issue

[strange peak]

yes, my rng is totally my fault

that's why I skipped this tournament...

I wasn't feeling it

got too many deck ideas... nothing concrete to use it

[wary heron]

i mean

if nothing else you can use this tournament to test decks

[lucid sable]

4-2 🙏 little late doing my dailies today but here we goo

4-3*

[lethal spruce]

That's basically me...

I've used 3 different decks now

And I'm like

[strange peak]

didn't have time this week, so I was afraid I wouldn't make it most times

[lethal spruce]

7 matches in

[fast frost]

Lost three times, won 2 times today. Did better than yesterday at least.

[strange peak]

my 4fun decks would surely be squashed

[lucid sable]

ahhhh

[lethal spruce]

If I stay a consistent 4-1 everyday, I miiiight be able to side into the top 16

Maybeeee?

[lucid sable]

what's the req for the welkin gw again?

[strange peak]

5 wins 10xp

[lucid sable]

Ahh

5 wins with 10 matches ;-;

aight after today might just test decks

4-3 cuz I doubt I'd qualify anyway

[lethal spruce]

[lucid sable]

;-; I believe I have jinxed myself in to going towards 4-6 today

[lethal spruce]

I believe in you Ren you got this

[lucid sable]

Ty ty

[lethal spruce]

I wanna continue playing bc moneh

[lucid sable]

;-; just gotta not goober for one more match

[lethal spruce]

But like

[jovial needle]

Na is tough as u meet so many good players

[lucid sable]

Asia be like-

[lethal spruce]

The 8-12 is messing with my schedule

[lucid sable]

EU just vibin

[jovial needle]

Yeah asia is just 1 mistake and u r done. Eu is

[lethal spruce]

https://tenor.com/view/my-hero-academia-boku-no-hero-academia-nezu-principal-nezu-pro-hero-gif-18968793

Asia be like

[lucid sable]

Ahhhh ;-; was worried of pyro res and wasted lotus on a NA

Now Imma get screwed over laterrrrr

[lethal spruce]

I once ended a round with 4 omni dice left by accident

[fast frost]

The only times I know I made a mistake is when I forget to play a card I should have, like using Bennett's card before using his burst.

[lucid sable]

I- that hurts ;-;

what'd you do??

[lethal spruce]

[lucid sable]

huh

isn't his talent card his burst-

me sucrose bursting cuz I'm trigger happy when I have her skill card in hand but not using it

[fast frost]

His card makes it so you don't need 7 hp to get the dmg boost

[lucid sable]

Yeh

[fast frost]

You can still use his burst without it. Which I sometimes do and realize the mistake I made

[lucid sable]

🤡 people who forget to sucrose talent card burst in shenemo

[lucid sable]

ahh goobering ;-;

[rose perch]

why everyone afarid of asia? They just have way more people. Probably easy to get 5-0 cuz they never face each other

[fast frost]

The card in my hand mocks my mistake

[hybrid whale]

Tfw Zhongli's spear doesn't appear even after ROUND 6

[fast frost]

Once, Zhongli's spear was the last two cards in my deck

[lethal spruce]

Felt

[jovial needle]

That is true but if u r good player u can afford few mistakes in na but in asia it doesn't matter, u will not be able to comeback

[lethal spruce]

Same, but wgs on a noelle hypercarry deck

[wary heron]

[wary heron]

you see there are even more players than usual in asia this season due to the JP/KR prince cup or bla bla bla something like that i dont read the details

[lethal spruce]

I was at work, and taking orders while playing....I completely forgot I was supposed to place a 3 dice paimon before I ended.

[wary heron]

[lucid sable]

Awww

[wary heron]

dont work and play at the same time

[lucid sable]

Ouch

[lethal spruce]

Me neither, but Lia will be casting for that thing

[fast frost]

I need to up my skills so I can see what mistakes I made, like not switching a character when I should or use my skill or normal attack instead.

[wary heron]

W

[lethal spruce]

Yeah but the second time slot is during my hours...

[wary heron]

i only play in the first time slot usually

[lethal spruce]

And the first is when I normally wake up, workout, and get ready for work

[wary heron]

because im not awake for the second timeslot

[strange peak]

https://tenor.com/view/evil-laugh-hehee-gif-18964380

[wary heron]

[lethal spruce]

Ayyy

Fellow EST follower

[wary heron]

[lethal spruce]

That's now tho

Who tf goes to sleep at 7-11 pm

[strange peak]

my tired ass

[wary heron]

today was another case because i was forced out of bed by a stomachache

[lethal spruce]

I don't even get off work til 11

Can't even if I wnat to

[wary heron]

but i cant queue anyway because i already maxed quota

[strange peak]

sometimes after dinner I take a nap which turns into a full sleep cycle

depends on my daily stress and workload

which is awful most days

[wary heron]

[strange peak]

so you can imagina how was the 1st tournament for me

endless suffering

[wary heron]

for the first tournament

i had to play at 11pm

the timeslot was 11pm-3am

the other one was my school hours

and i was even sleeping in the middle of games

[strange peak]

I was forcing myself to play during lunch time at work breaks, then full time at night

cause if I missed a single day... I would drop like 5 places behind

(well... I missed 2 days)

went from 5th~6th to 16th or 15th... can't remember

[wary heron]

in the 1st tournament i literally played a total of 24 games

[lucid sable]

;-; anybody wanna just let me borrow their brain to get 5 wins

[wary heron]

[strange peak]

I played like 50

[wary heron]

i couldnt give you one even if i wanted to

[strange peak]

lost around half of it

[wary heron]

[strange peak]

cause I wanted to test decks and didn't wanted to use freeze because it was too cheap and boring

[lucid sable]

I jinxed myself at 4-3 ;-; now 4-5

[lethal spruce]

Oof....
I hope that gets better for you

[lucid sable]

One more round to get 5 wins

brrrrrrrt

[strange peak]

https://tenor.com/view/cute-cat-thank-you-gif-18582316

[wary heron]

i used really stupid cope in almost all the games

[lethal spruce]

I would offer mine, but there's nothing there....

[wary heron]

the 9-1 is fake

[lethal spruce]

Same

[lucid sable]

I just need wisps please ;-;

just something

[lethal spruce]

Here's a picture of a brain

[lucid sable]

My gaming works from 6-10pm

[lethal spruce]

🧠

[lucid sable]

cuz first block I'm still in camp/internship

[wary heron]

[lucid sable]

thankie

[wary heron]

another one dodged

[lethal spruce]

Maybe if we stare at it enough we'll remember ehat it's like to have one

[wary heron]

[lucid sable]

https://tenor.com/view/brain-loading-gif-9840626

Like this?

[wary heron]

just maybe

[lucid sable]

Ah I see

[lethal spruce]

The ornithophobia is real for this touney....

[hybrid whale]

Is it just me or is the overall level of play higher today compared to yesterday?

Cause I went 4-1 yesterday and 2-3 today lol

[lethal spruce]

I managed at get matched in 10 seconds, so maybe?

[wary heron]

when i open up my inventory and no tcg box
when i realize its just that im on the wrong acc

[wary heron]

10 minutes and i sometimes still dont get matched...

[hybrid whale]

Yeah it took a lot longer to match today too

[wary heron]

[lethal spruce]

I mean

[lucid sable]

n< is anybody queuing

my demise is just lurking

[wary heron]

i would like to

but no

[jovial needle]

Play in morning, u will instantly get matched

[wary heron]

im already maxed

[lethal spruce]

Yesterday, people were all probably trying to get their 5 wins in

[wary heron]

[frozen pike]

why is Yao Yao having an old granny pose

[wary heron]

yaoyao is oldge

[frozen pike]

back problem

[lucid sable]

it's official bois I'm going 4-6 ;-;

[wary heron]

[lucid sable]

final match is Ting

[wary heron]

t*ng

[lucid sable]

I've offended the gods somehow

n<

[lethal spruce]

Nooooo not t*ng

[frozen pike]

[wary heron]

im fine with t*ng

honestly

[lethal spruce]

Rip

[lucid sable]

Somebody tell me how to gain the Gods favor again ;-;

[wary heron]

at least its not duck

[lethal spruce]

Uh

[wary heron]

[lethal spruce]

Pray

[lethal spruce]

True, true

[lucid sable]

praying is a scam-

[lethal spruce]

Uh

[wary heron]

play pyro keqing

[lucid sable]

speaking in 3rd person??

[lethal spruce]

That too

[wary heron]

who's duck tho

[lethal spruce]

No, we're talking about duck™️

[lucid sable]

Ducky duck-

[wary heron]

[lucid sable]

Duck™️ not duck?

waaaaaaah

raiden nuked before burst

Demise is inevitable I see-

[wary heron]

is ting playing chong razor

[lucid sable]

noo-

hypostasis xiao kenki

;-; had good rolls

[wary heron]

[twilit steppe]

...I never saw this deck before haha

[lucid sable]

did not expect hypostasis 5 dice skill + anemo res + xiao skill

[wary heron]

average t*ng coping

[lucid sable]

I saw

I saw my oponent ;-;

anybody got a spare door for me to slam on way out?

[twilit steppe]

I wonder what's Xiao role in here.. I understand the Xiao Kenki Keqing version but not this one

[lucid sable]

hold up what- today at 6:18 pm and at 9:22-

[wary heron]

timezones

[lucid sable]

who knows Ting just cooks stuff that seems implausible

but works

[wary heron]

2nd anemo dude, anchor, just damage and stuff, i dunno

[twilit steppe]

Oh yeah during the major qualification battle Ting used Klee Kaeya Diluc against me and won. Might be skill issue on my part though haha

[wary heron]

[twilit steppe]

Oh okay🤓👍

[lethal spruce]

T*ng too big brain

[violet garnet]

ting is solid player

[wary heron]

ting cope

[violet garnet]

low key i actually think raiden is the worse 3rd slot for razor chong

XD

for current meta anyway

[lucid sable]

what is this ( x-x) topdecked double fav cath only after everybody but one card is dead

I see how it is-

[wary heron]

skill issue

[lucid sable]

It's not an issue in skill on my part

It's just a skill imbalance so even those decently good get wrecked ;-;

[lucid sable]

also haven't played this deck before but so happy that a razor deck went 5-0 ( -v-) and I will continue to say it as he's my favorite

[jovial needle]

Who is no.1 na. I can't see

8-2 and not in top 16 is this really na

[frigid sundial]

[twilit steppe]

goni, Seiko, Cometa got 10-0 I think

[twilit steppe]

Also yeah I feel like the opponents are much better now haha

[hybrid whale]

I'm thinking of switching to Keqing overload for tomorrow, is that the meta right now compared to Geo Raiden?

[wary heron]

[twilit steppe]

I guess yes, especially the Klee Keqing Bennett variant after the release of Wind & Freedom cards haha

[jovial needle]

Well this is na we were destined to meet tough opponents. I met atilla, gboot and Spartan

[hybrid whale]

Thanks!

[twilit steppe]

Maybe we should move to EU haha

[lucid sable]

;-; can't

my alt is AR 15

and the grind for all the cards I need haunts my nightmares when I tried

AR 30- ...

[inner dagger]

Again just one win

[wary heron]

[lethal spruce]

Not sure. Overload with Bennett has been around for quite a while now.

[lethal spruce]

My eu alt is at ar 12....I was genuinely planning in migrating there, but got too lazy to grind....

[wary heron]

my eu alt is ar 25

and i passively accumulated 14k exp without doing ascension quest

[twilit steppe]

Ah yeah grinding another account is indeed troublesome...☹️😭 I don't mind the card grinding myself but grinding to AR 32 is not easy

[wary heron]

[jaunty python]

my cooked deck did not stand the NEC pressure test

[wary heron]

[jaunty python]

back to NEC and Zhongli it is

[wary heron]

NEC highroll?

[jaunty python]

and not getting a very good starting hand

[hybrid whale]

I really want to know how top players think during a match, I can’t tell how far out I need to think ahead

[wary heron]

"no think just play" for me, even though im not a top player

[hybrid whale]

You’re at 6th right now what are you talking about lol

[wary heron]

if you play fast your opponent might feel inclined to play faster to keep up with your pace so they wont think as carefully about their moves, allowing you to take advantage of the weaknesses opened up , but i mean i process stuff relatively fast so it differs from person to person

[onyx bison]

SI not 1st on the leaderboard

[hybrid whale]

I process fast too but I’m a card game noob so I don’t know what to process in a lot of situations, I guess that just comes with exp?

[jaunty python]

I feel so much better hearing this, I dont have the brain cells to think that far ahead

[wary heron]

[hybrid whale]

Right now I’m just watching as many YT video guides but don’t know what else to do lol

[wary heron]

SI taking Ls

[wary heron]

you're walking down the wrong path

[jaunty python]

YT is very very mixed bag in terms of quality

[onyx bison]

Try to calculate and spend your dices wisely ?

[wary heron]

most YT guides, (im saying most) are really bad and cope

[jaunty python]

you're better off looking at the GITCG tourneys

and seeing how others play the decks u play

[onyx bison]

Si 1st place 4th time in a row 🙏 just watch

[wary heron]

sure

[twilit steppe]

Hm yeah I personally think watching tournament matches is better haha.. I actually kind of learned how to play the Fischl-Oceanid-Mirror Maiden that way

[hybrid whale]

Problem is that I can watch but it’s hard to figure out the “why” behind their moves

[wary heron]

[jaunty python]

Tbh I just try to figure out the general principles behind their deck first

[onyx bison]

What happens if they actually get 1st in semifinals

[jaunty python]

like think in terms of ramp vs priority

[wary heron]

[jaunty python]

Im not at the point where I can critique play by play and tbh I think doing that is too much effort anyway

especially when so much can vary from opponent to opponent

[hybrid whale]

@wary heron How do you win so consistently when there’s so many decks and cards out there?

[onyx bison]

I havent played tcg in a while but imo take time to analyze and calculate your dices or your opponent's next moves

[wary heron]

just highroll

[hybrid whale]

Sorry I’m used to preparing for mus in Super Smash Brothers 😅

[wary heron]

but i dont even have 10-0

[hybrid whale]

Highroll?

[jaunty python]

you want to have a general feel for when a deck is the most threatening

[wary heron]

perfect dice

[jaunty python]

whether thats round 2, 3 etc

[wary heron]

pyro kek round 3 with bennett talent and topdeck gamblers

[jaunty python]

Every time I think I suck at piloting Pyro Keq that deck surprises me with the clutch Ws it's pulled off

[hybrid whale]

That’ll be my aim starting tomorrow lol

[wary heron]

[wary heron]

just roll asian dice

dice that will make asian parents proud

[hybrid whale]

Don’t know what that is but I’m Asian so I should be able to roll that

[wary heron]

asians

[onyx bison]

All fun until all your dice dont match your deck

[wary heron]

best region

[wary heron]

[hybrid whale]

@wary heron What deck do you use?

[wary heron]

no idea

even i dont know what im doing

[violet garnet]

dope. tonights session went well

ggs to those i played

[jaunty python]

figure out what cards are most important to keep in your starting hand and don't be afraid to burn to counter dice of cringe
