[wary heron]

yeah

[bold widget]

[wary heron]

[bold widget]

I have 12 games left

Surely I'll get a welkin this time at least

[wary heron]

i have 2 games left

im on 9 losses

[bold widget]

Queue officially empty

[wary heron]

just gambling on top players to lose

surely i wont pull a 17th

[bold widget]

I've only faced 3 people in the current leaderboard

But I beat 2 of them

[bold widget]

[wary heron]

[bold widget]

I'll give you some free wins later trust

[wary heron]

2 matches left tho

so not all hope is lost

[hushed gull]

i hope like that , lol

[wary heron]

[twilit steppe]

Sorry for intruding but there are TCG tournaments in Childe Mains server..? 🤓 I didn't knew that haha

[wary heron]

[twilit steppe]

Oh okay.. maybe I could try to join if I'm allowed even though I benched my Childe haha

[hushed gull]

what is reward?

[twilit steppe]

Idk tbh I just joined the server sorry

[strange peak]

Oz op

I'm glad dendro res works on summons... pyro could do the same for a change

[twilit steppe]

It would be too overpowered omg

[rose perch]

I know you guys are probably joking but please dont give free wins. That is so unfair.

[violet garnet]

^

[bold widget]

Sorry, it was 100% a joke but I see how it could be taken the wrong way

[wary heron]

well yeah

i would never give free wins

but my dice and card rng always gives them free win

[violet garnet]

Meanwhile my power/internet service has been out due to hella storms this morning. I might have to travel somewhere to get the last 5 matches completed.

[rose perch]

just I am salty last season. I was in the top 16 but then toward the end 3 people somehow played 10 plus games on the last day and had 100% win rate

[bold widget]

Stay safe!

[wary heron]

dw you probably 100% qualified this time

and i didnt

actually, theres still hope

surely i can win my last 2 games

[bold widget]

Oh your #11 isn't showing up either

[rose perch]

i have it. here you go.

[bold widget]

Ohhhh

Thanks

[rose perch]

but this is looking similar to last time. I feel like in the evening slot someone is going to get 10 plus wins again

[fast veldt]

Light mode

[bold widget]

Yeah, there are a few big names that aren't on there yet sooooo I don't think 10 losses is safe

I think the floor will be 9

[rose perch]

it is going to be a big tie at 278. Hopefully my tiebreaker was worth it.

[wary heron]

278

meanwhile me at 249 with a dream of 269

to be fair i played like complete shit this tournament

lost 4 games i should have won due to horrible rng

[twilit steppe]

That's me🙋‍♀️

[wary heron]

my weakness is just that

[bold widget]

I'm still stuck in 3.6

[wary heron]

i cant play around lowrolls

[rose perch]

i am pretty sure 10th to 16th will all be 278. there was another name with 256 that didnt play the 5 games right under nahida.

[wary heron]

[wary heron]

nooooooooooooo

me dead

surely i wont pull a #17

[bold widget]

I just want to finish my games

[strange peak]

How would a heated mode with omni dice and mulligan your hand at the start of every turn feels like?

[bold widget]

12 games in 4 hours is doable if the queue isn't dead... maybe

[wary heron]

i wont be dead

[bold widget]

[twilit steppe]

Well the first one has the omni dices🤓 Idk about the cards of your choice though, that would be a chaotic heated maybe haha

[rose perch]

oh i found it. I was wrong. he was 246

[wary heron]

light mode based

[strange peak]

Just thinking how would a "best dice/cards" scenario would unveil the most efficient combos/decks

[strange peak]

https://tenor.com/view/my-eyes-burning-eyes-gif-14210748

[wary heron]

cant survive light mode? skill issue

[rose perch]

it is day time though

[wary heron]

1am

[rose perch]

dont you have it only dark mode at night?

[bold widget]

What about a mode where there are no rounds, just infinite omni dice and every time you end your turn you get a card

[wary heron]

[strange peak]

I live in a casket

[wary heron]

wait whats a casket

[bold widget]

⚰️

[wary heron]

a coffin?

[ancient spindle]

5 bucks for a free win hows that sound

[wary heron]

wtf

[bold widget]

Yeah they're the same thing

[wary heron]

god i fucking love killing raidens in random mm before they can burst

[strange peak]

No summon decks since they would almost never deal dmg

[bold widget]

No summons, no ramps, no dice fixing

Nothing that reduces dice cost

[strange peak]

So mean

[wary heron]

[rose perch]

i wish there was a heat battle where you go in and play as your opponent's deck and everyone trys to make the worst possible deck

[bold widget]

That's not a heated battle, that's a cold war

[strange peak]

THAT

[wary heron]

[strange peak]

Would be fun as hell

I approve

[rose perch]

ya we be able to see a bunch of not commonly used cards

[eternal musk]

profit

[strange peak]

Monster deck with full weapon cards

[bold widget]

All the cards would be unequippable weapons

Yep

[strange peak]

I lost it with those Wagner cards

[bold widget]

If you don't play 1 wagner it doesn't count as a win

[eternal musk]

Wagner for the moral support

[bold widget]

The higher number on your Wagner at the end of the game the more points you get

[wary heron]

[twilit steppe]

Omg what is this

[frozen pike]

^ the tuner deck, and totally not related to YGO TCG

[ancient spindle]

We need monster weapons

And fatui weapon too

Childe can wear 2 weapons

[strange peak]

I'm slightly enraged that Chong's infusion doesn't work with Agent

[wary heron]

[wary heron]

you see, i want to sleep, but i can;t

[ancient spindle]

i just woke up

[lethal spruce]

Wait

Its 7 already

Uuuaaghhh

[jovial needle]

If i don't play my last game or play last game too late and lost then i might be out

As all players below me in lb hv less losses than me except 1

[bold widget]

I don't think I can finish my games 11 left

[jovial needle]

How many players can reach 278 that aren't on lb

[bold widget]

Well if there are a lot of players at ~30 games who didn't play during the morning session they could

But the queue is deadge so...

[strange peak]

next time I'll register so I can give free queues on the last day

winning is optional though

I would probably just test my decks

[bold widget]

Stonks

[frigid sundial]

sussy keep matching me with super famous players today

[bold widget]

Do you know me from astra?

[frigid sundial]

From cyno main first!

[bold widget]

Ohhhh

[frigid sundial]

[bold widget]

The cyno mains tournament?

That was fun haha

[frigid sundial]

Yess

[jovial needle]

Played my last game and won. Didn't wanna deal with anxiety

[frigid sundial]

I was in asia for that one but i wanted to play with you too 🥰

[jovial needle]

Hope i don't get tinged

[pearl fern]

Gives free queues but wins all the matches

[strange peak]

phlease... I'm merely an enthusiast... I would probably lose to all the meta decks around

[pearl fern]

Play cube kenki, beats all the meta decks

[gilded notch]

what does that mean, getting tinged

[tropic slate]

highroll the three cryo, three anemo, electro hilichurl opening

trust

[jovial needle]

I don't wanna face ting in my 1st knockout game.

[tropic slate]

currently Ting is not on leaderboard

that could mean he just hasn't finished enough matches yet

[jovial needle]

He can make it though

[tropic slate]

because was busy with astra

[rich wasp]

tings at 30 games

[tropic slate]

but it could mean he doesnt make it at all?

[jovial needle]

He did had 7or 8 L last time i saw

[tropic slate]

who knows?

anything could happen

[gilded notch]

I played him this morning, it was the only game I won

[jovial needle]

Was he still using kenki

[gilded notch]

yes

[jovial needle]

Ur deck

[gilded notch]

kek overload

[fathom fog]

The top 16 qualify for prince cup? Or how it works?

[jovial needle]

Yeah it should be good matchup for overload. I lost the the same matchup vs him but he did highroll hard that game

Is there another na prince

[gaunt mica]

Ahhh 21st rank. 5-5 finish at the end killed me

So much NEC

[stiff crypt]

It's normal for the last few days

[jovial needle]

Says the 305 pts player

[rose perch]

Just wondering who do you consider famous?

[rich wasp]

bot dead?

[bold widget]

Yeah interactions are all failing

[rich wasp]

on the last day when people need to get games in too despairge

[frozen pike]

Hold up lemme check

[lethal spruce]

Smh

[lethal spruce]

SI

[rich wasp]

oh it was me lol

[misty harness]

any reason to play my last 5 matches if I have no hope of getting top 16?

[rich wasp]

played and lost vs layercake

was fun game though

nec ban when despairge

[lethal spruce]

Frr

My 2 losses today were from NEC

[frigid sundial]

it was stupididiot and mayoi

[bold widget]

I'm not getting top 16 either at the rate this queue is going but I'm still playing for fun

[frigid sundial]

sussy matched me mayoi right after stupididiot

[lethal spruce]

Oofff

[bold widget]

I hate NEC more than I hated mmec

[misty harness]

I'm gonna be playing some experimental decks then.

[frigid sundial]

it was thank you againn

[misty harness]

you guys like stall decks, right?

[frozen pike]

okay, if you're queueing, please try again

[rose perch]

I can’t stand decks that start turn 1 with tenacity

[lethal spruce]

NO.

[stiff crypt]

Why?

[stiff crypt]

No

[rich wasp]

BIN stonks

apparently an nec counter but i’m too lazy to learn it right now

[bold widget]

It's worse with the extra piercing damage

[stiff crypt]

I see

[stiff crypt]

What's BIN?

[bold widget]

Barb itto noelle

[stiff crypt]

I see

[lethal spruce]

Share?

[rose perch]

How many people will be tied at 278 at the end

[violet garnet]

This is nerve racking

[lethal spruce]

I bet...

Good luck, guys

I should queue

Free wins from me

[rugged crane]

dem mental tactics

[jovial needle]

What about Pyro keq

[bold widget]

I got canceled on in round 1

[rich wasp]

pyro keq matchup feels coin toss ish it’s not bad though

[jovial needle]

Yeah i had 2-2 in tavern with pyrokeq vs nec

Bennett route might be better vs it

[hybrid whale]

I did better vs NEC when I used Bennett burst earlier than usual

[jovial needle]

They don't hv early pressure to threaten Bennet even if we don't hv liu

[misty harness]

my kingdom for a turn with at least 3 good dice...

[jovial needle]

So i am facing Seiko unless someone wild appears

A wild big cheese appeared. Cftsoc it is then

[violet garnet]

Might have been better to wait to cue. I ended up playing nyahida and ting

[bold widget]

8th through 15th having the same score is wild

If two more people go 27-8 the last person won't even get on the leaderboard

Yeah some of the 27-8s are actually going to get pushed out

[rose perch]

This is why I got up early today for tie breakers

[violet garnet]

I would have. But we are without internet and power in half my state

I had to travel to my brother's just to finish this because ain't no shot I am gonna try playing tournament matches on mobile data on 200 ping.

When half the state is also using mobile data

[misty harness]

someone queue up please, I want to finish all my matches

[bold widget]

That's how I played prince cup closed qualifiers...... and I dc'd so many times my blood pressure was through the roof

[violet garnet]

I feel for that now. It's rough.

I managed a clutch comeback vs nyahida.

I dont think I could have done that playing mobile. Using a PC with a big screen just feels so much better.

[jovial needle]

U will be playing layercake

[violet garnet]

Is there not anyone with records to possibly make it to top 16?

[misty harness]

it's over for me. I wasn't ready.

had a lot of fun. Is it ok to ask for friendly matches here or should I go the genshin corner version of the tcg channel?

[lethal spruce]

It should be easier to find matches here

If you want someone to play with, I'd be down

In half an hour tho

[wary heron]

FUCK\I AACCIDENTALY SLEPT

i feel like dying

oh well

floor is 27-8 anyway as expected

ehh

[lethal spruce]

Oooff

[wary heron]

i mean

[lethal spruce]

I'm at 18-13

I'd go for one more

But

[wary heron]

this season i unnecessarily lost at least 4-5 games

which was just pain

[lethal spruce]

Lazy

[lethal spruce]

You'll get em next time

[wary heron]

true

the 2 games on the last day i lost to diceofcringe tho

[mystic wharf]

Man, I couldn't get many games this time, but also Noelle deck not very good anymore

I'll be prepared next time tho

[wary heron]

i swear if i i didnt bottomdeck all my cards twice on day 4

i might have made it in

[lethal spruce]

Yeah....Zhong better now

[wary heron]

[mystic wharf]

But Noelle cuter

[violet garnet]

I forget we have 23hours to do our t16 match?

[bold widget]

Anyone else queuing at the last minute

[raven wyvern]

me

[bold widget]

Yeah but I think it starts in a week

[wary heron]

i was queueing, but found one

[raven wyvern]

I found someone but they didn't acept

[bold widget]

Nooooooo

[raven wyvern]

but I managed to requeue

[bold widget]

Oh good

[raven wyvern]

yeah, think it was 10 sec before the time lmao

[bold widget]

We should be queued together then... maybe

[raven wyvern]

maybe

[bold widget]

[raven wyvern]

we haven't actually fought once have we?

[bold widget]

Not that I can remember

[wary heron]

[bold widget]

:kleesis:

[raven wyvern]

surely it won't time out with both of us in queue

[bold widget]

Idk, sussy paimon is pretty sussy

[jovial needle]

I am fighting 9oo6

[wary heron]

aight, won the last game of the day

[lethal spruce]

Ggss

[arctic valve]

did you end 17?

[wary heron]

nah

also

maybe next season

i need to roll better

which is the main reason for most of my losses

[lethal spruce]

[wary heron]

[arctic valve]

it is the main reason for all of OUR loses

[wary heron]

how does one

not draw a card the entire game

until 9 cards left

[lethal spruce]

I had favonious library, and needed 5 electro dice. That, and a toss up later, I'm left with 2 electro dice and no omni.

[lethal spruce]

Felt

I need Sac fragments

[wary heron]

[lethal spruce]

It's okay

Well be super lucky next time

We're just

[wary heron]

btw this is my dice when i play pyro keq

[lethal spruce]

Saving our luck

[lethal spruce]

.

[arctic valve]

i had 10 foods in my deck, i needed any of them, triggered 2 seele, 1 liben and 1 strategize, no food showed up

[lethal spruce]

[wary heron]

saving my luck for something completely unimportant

[lethal spruce]

Damn

[lethal spruce]

Fr

[wary heron]

10 food?!?

[lethal spruce]

Gimme

[arctic valve]

10 food

[lethal spruce]

Oh yeah

Duck

Have we even played against each other yet?

[wary heron]

a few times in earlier seasons

[lethal spruce]

But not this one

[wary heron]

yep

[lethal spruce]

Wanna play then?

[wary heron]

im in a game after this?

my pc mouse

is not mousing

[bold widget]

One time I didn't draw either copy of totm or vv for zhongli until the last 10 cards

[lethal spruce]

Yusss

[lethal spruce]

Oh...

[wary heron]

:worrypat

[lethal spruce]

Yeah, that might me important...

[wary heron]

plot twist, i have touchscreen

[lethal spruce]

I tried to play genshin on my laptop last night

But I don't own a mouse

[lethal spruce]

I mean, I do....

I prefer touchscreen

It's much more efficient when scrolling

[twilit steppe]

LOL I once had a game where Vortex Vanquisher is my very last card.......

[lethal spruce]

I had a game where, with 9 cards left, I had no gamblers

Like bruh

[bold widget]

Omg you must have been playing well if you survived that long without it

[wary heron]

same

[lethal spruce]

Ive used up all my seelie and strategize and mo gamblers

Ning needs her gamblers

[wary heron]

gamblers would have given me enough dice to lethal

[lethal spruce]

Yeh yeh

That's why I run her with sac and gamblers

From 0 dice, to 3

Enough to burst

[wary heron]

ok god

i cant math

[lethal spruce]

1+1=3

[wary heron]

i just miscalculated summon damage and accidentally died

[lethal spruce]

Lmao

[wary heron]

ok sooooo

[bold widget]

Can always do arena of cope to feel better

[lethal spruce]

Fr

I 5-0 arena

[wary heron]

even better

[lethal spruce]

My deck should be unbeatable

[wary heron]

i have my brother to beat up in tcg

[lethal spruce]

Oooh good idea

The one time I ever won against a Zhong team was against my brother

[wary heron]

and i can give him the excuse that im trying to help him train and learn the deck

[bold widget]

He's in his training arc, one day he will learn and overcome

[lethal spruce]

'Coaching'

[wary heron]

[lethal spruce]

Yussss

[lethal spruce]

I just realized i have a plush that looks like that

[wary heron]

nice

[bold widget]

Cute

[wary heron]

also my discord app just restarted, weird

[lethal spruce]

Crash?

[wary heron]

no idea

qiqi is slowly learning to become an arsonist

[arctic valve]

btw, we still not have Qiqi on tcg

[wary heron]

i want tcg qiqi

if she isnt trash ill play her

[twilit steppe]

Well I mean there's like, TOTM haha

[violet garnet]

i still am waiting on a beidou rework

just let her infuse her normals after skil

with 1 use

or something

XD

[wary heron]

[bold widget]

True, winning games with just totm without vv is doable if the opponent can't heal

[wary heron]

true, but 4 dmg nas are scary

i mean, ive never played zhong much

[bold widget]

Yeah 4 dmg NAs are fun

[wary heron]

well maybe lets say...

[bold widget]

[wary heron]

[violet garnet]

yeah, screw this mans and his broken ness

[ocean gulch]

His broken back

[twilit steppe]

You're the very opposite of me, he's the very first character I invited in 3.7 haha because he's my favorite character for many reasons

[wary heron]

[deep plank]

Any Idea of when will the knockout phase begin and how will they notify us

[rose perch]

isnt it this?

[deep plank]

Cool, thx

[stiff crypt]

About 1 week from now
Time to prepare the decks

[wary heron]

gl to knockout players

[fast frost]

Ditto

[jovial needle]

seeding changed

[wary heron]

[arctic valve]

will we be able to watch the games?

[frozen pike]

Yes, it'll be streamed, 3rd place and final rounds of all 3 servers

[rose perch]

?? I was 12 before now 13th. So who had a bug and moved up?

[rich wasp]

[violet garnet]

The bot only shows numbers to me other than me nyahida and SI. Can anyone give me seeding with usernames not the random numbers?

[wary heron]

i have one random number on my list

[twilit steppe]

Number 8th is Cheesy I think🤓

[lethal spruce]

@rose perch Ggs!

I was 100% totally not freaking out when I saw that name

[subtle ibex]

o_o

[rose perch]

I am just trying to farm some crowns 😩.

[lethal spruce]

Oops

[crystal tapir]

9006 jumpscare moment

[lethal spruce]

Omg its nyahida

[rose perch]

bit off topic but anyone here a whale and can carry me in coop for the boss event?

[lethal spruce]

Uh

[crystal tapir]

Werent you top 1% with every character

[lethal spruce]

I have c3 zhong and 0 good dpses

[twilit steppe]

I struggle even doing the 8000 scores alone so not me

[rose perch]

ya but I can't get max score on final day. Lacking constellations.

a big one is nahida c2 cuz it gives def shred

[crystal tapir]

Damn it must be hella hard

[lethal spruce]

[strange peak]

I got 11k but coop increases hp from bosses so idk if I can do within the time limit

[crystal tapir]

Havent played genshin in a while but might have ti give it a try

[rose perch]

coop for the boss event doesn't increase hp.

[strange peak]

I'm 80% sure they die slower

Well... could also be that carrying other without decent builds could be the issue (even if they were supposed to halve the duration in an optimized setup)

Anyway... I could help if some1 needs it

[rose perch]

what high constellation characters you got? if you got c6 eula then 🥳

[twilit steppe]

Kazuha C1 is the only limited character constellation I have

I didn't knew Eula C6 could be that strong, that explains one of my coop friend's damage haha

[lethal spruce]

The power of whale

[rose perch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clga7kE5uhA I saw this crazy video but I dont have a controller.

[rose perch]

Eula is strong but it isnt the only reason. Mainly cuz the last day is 80% resistant to all elements except physical.

[twilit steppe]

Oh I see.. 🤓👍

[lethal spruce]

Damn....

[polar barn]

I only have C2 Shogun
C2 MONA dosent count

Grinded my ass for that

Took 420 pulls I think

F2P btw (welkin dosent count trust)

[rose perch]

welkins dont count. we win them all the time haha. They might as well be free haha

[lethal spruce]

@zenith lichen

[zenith lichen]

was trying some dark tech

didn't see until now oops

swap pyro res t1 i got pyrokeq'ed

[lethal spruce]

You were my first match of the day, and my first serious attempt at pyro keq...it was kinda hilarious tbh

[wary heron]

[lethal spruce]

Borb 2.0

Wanna fight?

[wary heron]

sure

also why am i "borb 2.0" now

[wary heron]

actually not there

[lethal spruce]

Raven is my favorite, and the original borb

No one else can compare

[wary heron]

[lethal spruce]

Duck still top borb tho

And duck tastes yummy

Also

Pls gimme uid

[wary heron]

na right

651704496

[stiff crypt]

[crystal tapir]

are we supposed to get a room with our knockout opponent?

[crystal tapir]

what is the format for the knockout match

[rose perch]

do winners and loser both have to submit screenshots or only winner?

[frozen pike]

yup, ic you're already in the room now, sorry for the late response

[frozen pike]

Bo3~

[frozen pike]

only the winner

but make sure that they're using the correct UID

[crystal tapir]

so how many bans do i got

[frozen pike]

bans?

i dont think there's any bans

[rose perch]

do we have to tell our opponent our 3 deck? or we track them as we go?

[crystal tapir]

wah...

no bans 💀

[frozen pike]

no, keep on playing but do make sure they only use each character card once, failing to do so result in a loss, as per the instructions sent

[crystal tapir]

its doomed

[frozen pike]

NEC imminent

[crystal tapir]

im cool with nec

but some others decks cough cough

[rose perch]

ya but the moment we see them use a previously used character what should we do? concede and inform mod or play it out

[frozen pike]

inform a mod when this happens, because "playing it out" may be abused to get a gist of the other's deck being used

[crystal tapir]

what will the penalty be

if they choose a wrong deck

[rose perch]

my guess is if they pick wrong deck they just get a loss. But does the opponent need to change out of his characters?

[frozen pike]

both would need to do it, since the match is already counted

wait

lemme check again

okay

the number of the same characters being used will be the number of characters the winning side can keep

ie. if all the 3 characters on your opp side are reused, you can keep all the characters that you used for that match

if there's only 1 or 2, you can choose 1 or 2 by yourself to not use

[rose perch]

got it thanks for the explaination.

[frozen pike]

does this sound understandable, and most importantly, fair?

there's this case when both players bring at least one reused character, but we'll see when that happens

[rose perch]

Do you have to play all 3 games in 1 sitting or can we take breaks inbetween?

[south tiger]

probably yes, but why would you even want that

[rose perch]

i dunno to go to the bathroom or to take a break.

[south tiger]

sure just discuss that with your opponent between the games

[frozen pike]

as long as it finishes within the 23-hour time window, it's all good

ofc you still have to discuss with your opp like Dott said

[jovial needle]

Probably to plan out through strategy based on 1st and 2nd deck they brought

[wary heron]

dottus

[south tiger]

[jovial needle]

@faint arch i threw that last game so bad with lotus

I would hv +2 hp and would survive on 2 hp

Sc would kill other 2 chong burst + cryo res for ayaka

[faint arch]

hmmm

interesting lines at the end for sure, i had heavy and cryo res, could use differently depending on how you lotus, p complicated spot

and option of ending on xq to eat both summons wo eating sc

[jovial needle]

Maybe i should check replay and see ur lines

But xq was 1 hp

[faint arch]

ya can use xq eat electro and shenhe eat cryo tho

[jovial needle]

If chong survive that round Ayaka is definitely ded. He had burst + cryo buff and res

[faint arch]

oh true

[jovial needle]

[faint arch]

hmmm

could use xq eat electro then ayaka eat cryo

then shenhe lives maybe

[jovial needle]

Hmm

[faint arch]

pretty interesting endgame

[jovial needle]

Yeah

[crystal tapir]

did cats tail season 2 prizes get nerfed?

[spare turret]

what are the prizes this time

[stiff crypt]

No

4 kid kujirai

[spare turret]

who won this game

[ocean gulch]

Looks like mistake won that

[spare turret]

is mistake nexa? or cftsoc

[twilit steppe]

Cftsoc

[ancient spindle]

[jovial needle]

Well he did used that deck in weeklies before and another one in astra qualifiers. I expected them but didn't hit right matchups. Made too much effort into countering freeze deck.

I had massive advantage before the game

[frigid sundial]

[rose perch]

wow welkin prizes yay. my 0-2 wasn't in vain haha

[twilit steppe]

The new prizes also applies for the past CTG right?! (copium)

[frozen pike]

no, and yes you're copium'ing

[twilit steppe]

Oh okay then thanks for answering

[lethal spruce]

[deep plank]

no welkins🥲

[wary heron]

didn't qualify

[twilit lodge]

hello NAsians

shld i play in na next patch

[twilit steppe]

If you do play here there will be more tougher opponents for me then haha

[twilit lodge]

[lethal spruce]

Yes, join us.

[subtle ibex]

[lethal spruce]

[ancient spindle]

[ocean gulch]

U will hv to grind the account

[crystal tapir]

When will sussy paimon displaying numbers bug be fixed 🤔

[stiff crypt]

NAsian

What's that?
A new region?

[lethal spruce]

NA next patch

[frozen pike]

it's Discord caching issue, so it's up to Discord

if you wanna forcefully see who's who, copy the entire number with pointy brackets and send here (will ping that person though)

[crystal tapir]

just display name instead of tag or smt

[subtle ibex]

usually just putting it in the message box but not actually sending it is enough for discord to have it stored

[pearl fern]

Could you update it to have the text tag or name in addition to the pinged role? It is kinda annoying on mobile which doesn't like to load embed pings

[frozen pike]

it's kind of a concern to add more texts or go with display name instead of ping cuz it's hard to estimate the number of characters, and will be impossible to put up a 32-player multi-embed message

cuz 6k characters embedded message overall limit

[pearl fern]

fair enough

[wary heron]

[crystal tapir]

This tavern gives spot to next prince cup??

Or is it just for jp

[violet garnet]

It would be false advertising if it didn't and they should specify which regions are included if not.

[twilit lodge]

jp

[violet garnet]

Else I would make severe complaints.

[violet garnet]

It does not specify which region

Prince cup has an NA scheduled for I belive it is july.

[crystal tapir]

Tru tru, surely hoyo event wont have false advertising

[pearl fern]

There isn't any more announced prince cups for NA region currently, so these CTG seasons aren't tied to that

You have to look in the astra news announcements, but S2 is only for the JP event

Which would only be open to Asia iirc

And also inly for JP folks i think

And the SEA region Prince Cup uses S3 results

Keep in mind that's just my assumption from reading the news posts, not an inside or official statement

[wary heron]

[violet garnet]

@crystal tapir I assume you also looked at this?

[lethal spruce]

Ooh

[rich wasp]

yeah it seems like NA placements wont matter too much for this season as well as next patch

actually, i guess latin america people may be tryharding next patch...

hm

[violet garnet]

Given this has invitationals at a later date and their top 16 invites not excluding regions makes me conclude that it's still valid.

[rich wasp]

im interested in what the invitationals are though

invitationals s1 was top 4 NA top 4 EU from astra, but its hard to do anything similar for the next 2 seasons

[pearl fern]

Oh yes i forgot about latin america, that would be s3 yeah

True, invitationals might use these results but there's no official notice afaik about that at all so it's not clear

[fathom fog]

What’s is JP event?

[pearl fern]

JP Price Cup, you can see it on the schedule above for next month

[zenith wraith]

Oooo 👀

[crystal tapir]

will there be a tavern every patch?

[subtle ibex]

I believe ideally, yes

[pearl fern]

I think they've only announced as far as S3

so who knows after that

[wary heron]

i swear to god

every single season

ive either been fucked over by my horrible rng

or by my shit schedule, being busy 15 hours on the exact day that i needed to play

and the funny thing is that

my brain is perfectly fine with it

[crystal tapir]

thoughts on allowing 1 character ban in preliminary queue?

there are decks i want to play but cant due to it having 0% winrate against [insert meta deck here]

[ocean gulch]

And they proceed to ban your x character which has 0% win vs their y character

Seems like hassal tbh

[crystal tapir]

maybe a small hassle but enabling so many decks that are completely unplayable due the the prescence of shenhe and oceanid will allow for a lot more variety

[lethal spruce]

[jovial needle]

Shenhe is so cope when everyone runs send off

[crystal tapir]

It has truly become topdeck send off or die

Play slow deck and die even with send off

[wary heron]

slow decks

why isnt everyone playing double pyro, or quicken, or freeze

[violet garnet]

That's pretty much just "draw the out" then. And it's literally a 2 of in a 30 card deck that you only see up to half of in a average game. And you want to see it early rather than later.

[hybrid whale]

I just played a really strong player with the username Comet...and they were using Shenhe swirl...wonder if it was Cometa

[wary heron]

[violet garnet]

Was there not to be a welkin and pricing foe top 16?

[fathom fog]

Not me I’m Cometa182 in game

[wary heron]

[rich wasp]

klee mona, sara eula seem pretty good as far as new stuff goes

chong razor also has promise but the meta sped up so much it’s having a tough time at least the current way i built it

[strange peak]

The new Arcane Legend card is useful for playing Tian

I can't find other uses for it though... I rarely put it to good use yesterday on my matches

[lethal spruce]

I've tried both, I've only used the phrogge one to charge up liben

I don't use weapons enough to even make use of the other one

[arctic valve]

That card looks like to build artifact and weapon combos, i suppose it would be very good on ZL decks.

[rich wasp]

try it with klee

[hybrid whale]

I like using arcane card with Xiao since he can use skill with 2 die after burst with his talent card

[zenith wraith]

Hello everyone! Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!

[strange peak]

problem is that the dice are random...

[hybrid whale]

I usually have enough cards left over by the time I Xiao burst to tune them

[violet garnet]

XD

[frozen pike]

oh my

it's fixed though!

[wary heron]

[lethal spruce]

No no no no no

Its ting

[ancient spindle]

You got T*nged congratz

[frozen pike]

[crystal tapir]

[violet garnet]

I'm down.

How u been @crystal tapir ?

[crystal tapir]

good good

as very many stronk people to play with

[polar barn]

Hmm mona variant
Maybe I should ditch barb and try mona

[lethal spruce]

Pls fight me

[lethal spruce]

Yup, mona and kazu work great together

[rose perch]

I ran into problems with kazuha where he is always the last one standing and does no damage.

[lethal spruce]

Yeah...kazu needs that swirl

[crystal tapir]

sorry maby not today... need watch jp astra and slep

Okehhh

Logging in now

[rose perch]

"Register, participate, and win at least 3 matches to earn an exclusive in-game tournament-based card back! Due to the time it takes for this reward to be created, they will be issued approximately in October 2023." !!!

[twilit steppe]

Omg I didn't knew there's this reward (...I'm not reading some stuff properly my bad )

[ancient spindle]

[pearl fern]

That's a really poorly advertised prize

You wouldn't even think the prize is different than the last ones

Shouldve been put out with the announcement for registration

[rose perch]

This is worth more than the 1000 dollar prize to me.

I wonder if it is the same as the prince cup exclusive card back if it is then the value of that card back just drop to nothing. 3 wins is kinda a low standard but i guess genshin is a casual game.

[frozen pike]

true, I'll make sure to have this piece of info included in the Pleb ping announcement during the upcoming weekend

[rose perch]

do you know if this card back is the same one as the prince cup one?

[rich wasp]

[frozen pike]

im pretty sure it's a different one, cuz PC is a super rare card back

[lethal spruce]

Sameeeee

[lethal spruce]

Omg it's SI

[rose perch]

I dunno if genshin devs will make 2 separate card backs. I think they might be the same one. No one in the top 8 of prince cup got theirs yet. Oct is like 4.1 right it be weird if suddenly there are 2 slots in the card back section no one can buy. Either way I am excited. This is a pretty good reward and should draw in more people.

[lethal spruce]

[gaunt mica]

I'd be pretty willing to bet that they are definitely going to be different. It'd be kind of a huge let down for the top 8 to be given the same back as what amounts to a participation prize

Also, Hoyo really isn't shy about investing their time/money into their own games. They definitely wouldn't have an issue creating multiple card backs

[bold wedge]

hello good morning I heard exclusive card back and decided it was necessary... Do you think there'd be any problems if I just. play until I win enough prelim matches and then stop entering the queue or something? (I really do not trust my internet to be able to stream steadily enough for anything high level and I'm not that interested in the cash prizes to begin with)

[wary heron]

poggers

card backs

[bold wedge]

ehehehe... card backs

[lethal spruce]

that is 100% fine and probably what most people are gonna do anyways.

[bold wedge]

Okay cool! Thanks :D

[frozen pike]

in FAQ#27, you don't need to stream during the Preliminary Phase - where challenges to get the card back happen~

[bold wedge]

thank goodness for that

[frozen pike]

sorry for the wall of texts in #1097076637868236850 , but it's a good read

[bold wedge]

I have no problems trying to stream but I live in the woods and people have told me before that it just freezes up rip

I did give it a look through! I just wanted to confirm and be sure because I couldn't find any specification on whether the matches needed for the back can be prelim or if they had to be knockout (I assumed prelim would count because it wouldn't make much sense otherwise, but it's good to know for sure)

I must say this is a really fun idea- it feels better than any of the exclusive wind gliders because at least this one is for an entirely optional minigame and not. the ability to color match things to characters

Can't wait to see what the back looks like (both of them if there's a unique one for the prince cup, though I certainly won't be trying hard enough for that lol)

[rose perch]

Hopefully I am wrong. But hoyoverse has mostly been about inclusive. Instead of having a different card back for each tournament it makes more sense for them to designate 1 card back as tournament related and give that out for any tournament related events. It isnt to say they cant make more since making a card back takes like 5 mins for them.

[lucid sable]

@brisk bloom I shall out-lose you again . . .

[brisk bloom]

Whatever you say >.>

[lucid sable]

Indubitably!

[mossy imp]

Does anybody know if the S2 prizes have been sent yet?

[lucid sable]

No clu

[violet garnet]

I've not received mine.

[crystal tapir]

pay me $1000 and you can have my card back

[hybrid whale]

So, is this tournament gonna be filled with Mona Klee? As much as I like to continue with pyro Keqing it just doesn’t seem worth using over Mona Klee…

[crystal tapir]

cant predict but monklee probably will be strong

that being said most contestants are new to tcg and likely dont know meta

[hybrid whale]

That was only true for the first day in S2, rest of days were filled with strong people lol

That being said I hope there are other newer players who actually play throughout the tourney this time around

Anything but facing cometa 2 times in a row again…

[lethal spruce]

Just wait til you meet t*ng

Nyahida is suuuuper stronk too

Aaaaalsksj

[violet garnet]

didnt last registation have us use our in ganme name too or am i tripping?

[lethal spruce]

Huh

Wdym

[wet bluff]

Gonna bring my cope and pray

[rose perch]

maybe depends on what it looks like. Have they released any information about it?

[crystal tapir]

Nope… 😭

[rose perch]

but man oct is 4.1. Such a long wait. Why does it take so long to release a card back.

[crystal tapir]

Tha artist need time to draw it maybe

Is top 8 card back also oct?

[hybrid whale]

Don’t worry, Nyahida destroyed me twice in S2 too

[crystal tapir]

no u...

[lethal spruce]

Nyahida wiped the floor with me three times in a row last night

I'm about to start my training arc

[junior root]

Hi there ppl, one question... How many decks must I have? So I avoid getting disqualified by repeating character cards.

Please and thank you

[hybrid whale]

You only need 1 in preliminary, if you get to knockout phase I think you need 3

[violet garnet]

^ if unchanged from last season this is correct.

You can p much use any deck/team throughout the first stage.

I would advise looking into the updated FAQ once it's posted.

[junior root]

Thank you! And how many phases have the tournament?

[hybrid whale]

Just preliminary and knockout, as Kaze mentioned you might want to look at the FAQ in addition to the register section

[junior root]

Thank You! So, the knockout will be like the semifinals or something like that? I already checked the FAQs but i'm still kinda confused, sorry guys.

I'm understanding that for the preliminary I can repeat one deck, but not for the knockout.

[hybrid whale]

Top 16 in preliminary go to single elimination tournament bracket

[pale nymph]

What does it mean by streaming it? Like record every match you do in the knockouts?

[crystal tapir]

just finals and 3rd place match

[arctic valve]

Hey i want nyahida to whipe the floor with me as well (as training)

i still remember the s2 game and i'm still pissed off for making a colossal mistake that game, i want my revenge

[junior root]

Thank you

[crystal tapir]

i can play a few rn, do you want to play?

[arctic valve]

i cant rn, i'm at work

i can wednesday to friday

[frigid sundial]

[lucid sable]

[wet bluff]

Damn having work

[lunar osprey]

[wet bluff]

I can't wait to play my first game and it's against SI

[violet garnet]

[arctic valve]

601002410 my uid

[crystal tapir]

are you online?

[arctic valve]

yus

[crystal tapir]

@lethal spruce is it true that you can play in 2 different regions in s3?

[rich wasp]

^ id also like to know the answer to this!

[twilit steppe]

I wonder if it's possible to do so in all three region

[polar barn]

I think they don't have a ruling yet

Loophole

But they might me consulting with higher ups regarding this

Sooner or later we'll have a ruling

[ocean gulch]

Grinding in asia is time waste. Eu and na r enough if u care about rewards

I am lowkey happy about ar32 requirement. Otherwise eu and na would just be like asia

[crystal tapir]

i just want to play asia because asia fun

[twilit steppe]

Hm yeah you're right if not for the Prince Cup qualification thingy I wouldn't even want to touch Asia at all tbh sorry

[crystal tapir]

does ryssa play as or na

[polar barn]

Both

If u asking for cat's tail

NA

But they are both region player

[twilit steppe]

Yes

[lethal spruce]

You can?

[polar barn]

Surly

[lyric folio]

Hey! Question for ya'll: is there any deck limitations/requirements for the preliminary phase of the tournament, like the knockout phase? It doesn't specify so anywhere in the FAQ.

Like would I be able to only use 1 deck throughout the entire preliminary phase or can I change decks each match or something

[lethal spruce]

Theres no limitations during the prelim phase, but you will need to bring 3 different decks if you get to knockouts.

[lyric folio]

Cool

[pale nymph]

hello would anyone wanna dual for a test of my build?

[lethal spruce]

Sure, I'm testing a new team too

Your uid?

[lethal spruce]

Logging on now

[pearl fern]

What changed in S3 to make you think you can sign up for multiple regions? It's always been limited to 1 region in the past right?

[lethal spruce]

Itz blep

[lethal spruce]

Yeah, there's only room for 1 UID

[pearl fern]

hallo

[lethal spruce]

Hi blep!

[pearl fern]

I might finally come back to playing in this series, but mostly just to get in for that card back

[lethal spruce]

Do iitttt

pyrrrrrrahh

[ancient spindle]

[dim ginkgo]

hello, I am looking for people to duel for practice

[crystal tapir]

yes ive gotten the ok, although its not recommended you can have multiple accounts play just not on the same server

so you cant play on 2 na accounts due to very obvious wintrading stuff but you can play in na eu and as at the same time as they are technically different tournaments just running at the same time

[crystal tapir]

if you are also interested in multi region

[pearl fern]

i can barely do 35 let alone 105

[crystal tapir]

just play for fun

tavern is fun

[pearl fern]

no time for fun now, gotta edit videos

[frigid sundial]

But i still need 2 discord accounts right?

[lethal spruce]

Bet

[crystal tapir]

Yes

[frigid sundial]

thanks

[hybrid whale]

Anyone want to play right now? Not matching in GITCG server

[dim ginkgo]

sure what's your uid

[hybrid whale]

Sorry I got tired of waiting and was playing through Caribert so I didn't notice

It's 652608673 if you're still down to

[dim ginkgo]

yeah im still down 👍

[hybrid whale]

You can join whenever

[dim ginkgo]

@hybrid whale thanks for the games

[strange peak]

why am I always busy during new tournaments?

[pale nymph]

hello if anyone wanna practice dualing. my UID is 601798521

[dim ginkgo]

[wary heron]

[polar barn]

[wary heron]

For the duration of this tournament duck's name will be purple

[pale nymph]

hey sorry fell asleep, im down to play some

[dim ginkgo]

lmk when you're ready to duel

[pale nymph]

yeah u can add now

[rose perch]

How to get color?

[lethal spruce]

In your name? Go to #🎨statue-of-the-seven

[rose perch]

Oh cool I got cryo

[real nimbus]

if i can see the preliminary queue channel that means im already registered right?

[slow heart]

Just to clarify any one that register can get the exclusive card back if you win 3 match right?

[limpid orbit]

I think so @slow heart

[slow heart]

Cool I will find some time during my vacation to play 3 games then

[ionic whale]

how does the tournament work I never did one before

[onyx iris]

1st timer, here, too

[slow heart]

During the preliminary phase(7/24-7/32) you can play other players at certain time and you get 10 point if you win 1 point if you lose

At the end of preliminary the top 16 player will play knockout against each other

[ionic whale]

how many times can u play

I just want to get the card back lol

[slow heart]

It has been 5 game per day for a week= 35 games total for the last few tournaments

[ionic whale]

ok

so you have to win 3 in the preliminary phase?

[slow heart]

That is what I am assuming

[ionic whale]

does it have to be in a row?

[royal sky]

What does the card back look like

[wet bluff]

We don't know

It'll be distributed around September, as they said

Either way I hope I qualify 🙏

Or at least win 3 matches

[polar barn]

@slow heart hi lieil

[outer silo]

Hello, I’m new here. I came from the Prince Cup qualifiers, and I had fun so I signed up for the Cat’s Tail Gathering. Would anyone like to play a practice match with me?

[lucid sable]

Ah this chat here often isn't that active until the tourney starts

I'd say go to #🎴genius-invokation-tcg for that or even the GITCG server.

[hybrid whale]

I couldn’t find a match in GITCG server but I found one here so not sure if that’s 100% true 😅

[lucid sable]

Well I did say either

But even if here I'd still go to the channel rather than here as its more active once the tourney truly starts

[twilit steppe]

Maybe you could use an Asia account if you have it, so many people seeking for coop every day there haha

[hybrid whale]

I don’t have an Asia account…

[lucid sable]

make an asia alt and grind for weeks to get to ar 32

and then suffer with grinding the cards and coins

[crystal tapir]

gitcg server fake for matchmaking
no one has incentive for ranked no prizes

real matchmaking is dming top players xD

that or you play on as/cn

[polar barn]

GITCG Slander

U get a role tough if top 3

Better than welkin imo

[crystal tapir]

but you cant on na

i got 1900 last season and rank 2 na is like 1300 cant even get matched

its not even slander its just factual

[outer silo]

@crystal tapir I played you in closed qualifiers and I remember you were really good, would you be willing to play me?

[crystal tapir]

yea sure we can play a few

[outer silo]

Thanks! My uid is 630835783

[slow heart]

Hihi

[rose perch]

Ya I agree. That server's so called rank mode makes no sense. Literally just people asking for matches and no one responds to each other. I dunno why they don't have the matchmaking bot we have here. It so much easier to use and more fair.
