what bot

[rose perch]

that bot we use in preliminary queue.

[crystal tapir]

yea, it would be nice to have a non tournament matchmaking bot here, some people actively avoid playing ranked with me and finding matches in the first place is a joke

ranked mode tavern when 👀

one time i tried to find matches multiple times every day for a week and couldnt get a single ranked match

[wary heron]

[wary heron]

i would play with you anytime

as long as im free that is

[arctic valve]

I'm not the best but you can count me for some games (from wednesday to friday)

[polar barn]

Long time no see

[pale nymph]

would u like to play some card games?

[arctic valve]

like poker or mutarot?

[pale nymph]

yugioh

[remote nest]

yo te amo uwu lo congela toda la ronda

[mossy stratus]

edison format?

[clever folio]

someone wants to play a friendly match?

[outer silo]

@clever folio I’d be down if you are still available

[clever folio]

im now

[outer silo]

Ok my UID is 630835783

@clever folio Do you still want to play? Sorry I was a bit late to reply

[clever folio]

yup

[outer silo]

Ok join when you are ready

[clever folio]

I already send you the friend request

[outer silo]

Oh sorry I didn’t notice

I accepted it now

[drowsy wharf]

If I only want to obtain the cardback, I just win at least 3 times in preliminary phase?

Just confused about that part haha

[ebon hull]

Yep, thats all, but the card back will be delivered around september/october

Btw, do you happen to know what time frames the preliminary matches are in?

[drowsy wharf]

Are there unlimited rounds i can play in the preliminary round? or limited lol

[ebon hull]

You can play 5 matches per day

[drowsy wharf]

ok so just win 3/35 matches

easy

only want the card back LOL

[ebon hull]

Sorry I meant the individual times, as in 4 to 8 pm etc

[ancient spindle]

We can choose to play in heated mode right ?

[ebon hull]

Im not sure tbh

[drowsy wharf]

i am not sure... might be 24/7? ig that wouldnt be fair lol

first time doing this, i shall register for the cardback

[ebon hull]

Same here

[drowsy wharf]

where do you see this?

[ebon hull]

Its not listed, but this isn't the first tournament of this type, and the older tournaments had that style of 5 per day

we're assuming, but its a healthy assumption

[drowsy wharf]

hm makes sense, worried im gonna get wrecked tho lol

[ebon hull]

Yeah, i'm not sure how i'll fare but I'd rather give it a shot than not

[drowsy wharf]

yeap, both are cyno just for the card backs

[ebon hull]

There are a lot of people entering this tournament, so its likely not everyone's a hardened meta player

[drowsy wharf]

Yea thats tru, but in that case, whats the meta rn? XD

[ebon hull]

I think a lot of Mona/Fischl decks, last time I checked

Its more varied than before, but those are still prevalent

[drowsy wharf]

no freeze decks?

but interesting i see

[hybrid whale]

Thank RNGesus I won the welkin raffle ☺️
Was just low on primogems as a F2P player, hopefully now I can save up enough to pull a char in 4.0 (esp if ZL comes)

[hybrid whale]

Hopefully at least some people stick around past the first day since last time the level of play skyrocketed day 2…

[ebon hull]

Oh boy, how fantastic

Well, if I can secure 5-0's (which isn't hard tbf), I should be able to at least get 1 or 2

[drowsy wharf]

5-0 as in 5 wins?

[ebon hull]

Yeah, in AoC

[hybrid whale]

So I guess a lot of people are going for the 3 wins for the card back rather than 5 for the raffle?

[drowsy wharf]

i woudl say so

[ebon hull]

definitely

there's a lot more casual interest in the game than competitive, which is why the card back's so alluring

[hybrid whale]

I didn’t know so many people had the same thought process as Cyno lol

[ebon hull]

lmao, yup

[polar barn]

What's with the card back hype

I didn't even bothered using free ones

To lazy to select that for every deck

[hybrid whale]

Probably as a collection rather than to use it

[ebon hull]

that, and something to make you feel accomplished ig, but i'm just here because aesthetics pretty

i'm using the one from the 3.5 event, but i'm always willing to get a new one

[drowsy wharf]

unless its paid (like gliders / amazon prime) id like to get my hands on something free and collectors

[drowsy wharf]

which one was that again

[drowsy wharf]

thank god i have it LOL

was scared

[ebon hull]

lmao

[thorny oyster]

hi

[polar barn]

Hi

[hot umbra]

Meow

[dark lark]

Back at again

[weak grail]

bruh I suck do you think I can still get the card back

[wet bluff]

i believe in you

[lethal spruce]

yes, yes you can

[twilit steppe]

Yeah card back requirement is 3 wins I think.. it's top 16 that's difficult IMHO haha

[rich wasp]

you got 35 games to get 3 wins in

[lethal spruce]

yeh yeh

ez clap

[rose perch]

there is no prince cup for na right? it just for asia?

[twilit steppe]

Well the NA Prince Cup already happened this year I think?

[rose perch]

ya I know, I just meant there no real pressure this time to get into 16 since there no follow up.

[arctic valve]

even if there is no follow up, it would be nice to get into top 16

[twilit steppe]

Yeah especially for top 8, I myself would be really happy to get 50 US dollars haha

[arctic valve]

same here, as a good friend says, 50 usd is a lot of beer

[rose perch]

it is funny at 600 you dont pay tax but at 1000 you do and the amount after tax is barely more than 600 lol.

but that is someone else problem will never happen to me.

[pale nymph]

u can only play 5 per day right?

[rose perch]

for today. if you skip today you can play 10 tomorrow.

[pale nymph]

i heard it was like 35 games a week . unless that got changed

5 per day or something

[lethal spruce]

Same...

I'm in debt already

I haven't even started college yey

[weak grail]

I heard someone say that day 2 onwards the level of play is higher

is this true

I need 1 more win bruh

[gaunt mica]

I think the level of play increases but it's really later in the week

because others drop off after top 16 is out of reach or they have the welkin/card back requirement

[twilit steppe]

Unfortunately yes in my experience, usually people who only play for Welkin will drop earlier

[weak grail]

that's good

but also bad, I need the bad players to stay in until I can beat them and drop out myself

[gaunt mica]

if you only need one more win you'll be fine

[weak grail]

Yeah. Think I'm worrying too much. Played some pretty close games || but crisp and double geo shields should be removed ||

[slow heart]

Spartan going to get 5-0 soon

[gaunt mica]

5-0 obtained

STOP THE COUNT

[rose perch]

I might need support. My opponent won't confirm the result. I think he logged off.

[slow heart]

Is it just me I feel like the skill level of player are higher now compare to the previous prelim

[weak grail]

q12 in #1096770459892191284

[rose perch]

nvm he came back. false alarm

[weak grail]

nice

[twilit steppe]

I feel like this even in previous preliminaries, maybe I have skill issue haha

[slow heart]

My problem is that I don’t have a deck I am really good at so I just play random decks

[gaunt mica]

I think so? but could also just be anecdotal

day 1 before I'd face some really random stuff, but faced an NEC and a razor/candace already

[pale nymph]

unlucky i had to go against, spartan, too good

would u like to play 1 friendly game spartan? @gaunt mica

[gaunt mica]

another time, I have to actually be responsible now

[pale nymph]

np 👍

[polar barn]

NA alt soon

[ocean gulch]

No

[slow heart]

Asia leaderboard tho all 5-0 or 4-1

[steady ravine]

[twilit steppe]

Yeah I'm the fastest 3-2 and I'm at 58th place which means 57 people are at least 4-1 omg what even

[slow heart]

Come to NA or EU it is more chill

[bold wedge]

Well that's five losses for the day! maybe it'll get better lmao

[worn vine]

How do you play the tourney if you registered? Just queue and play, and do nothing afterward or is there something to do or post after each match

[bold wedge]

Once the game ends it'll ask you to confirm in the private room, just do that and you're done

All you need to do is queue, play game with whoever is in your room, and then confirm

[worn vine]

Seems simple enough! How many matches do get daily?

[bold wedge]

Five

[worn vine]

Thxx

[twilit steppe]

Yeah if not for the Prince Cup thingy I would've do that haha

[rose perch]

do you actually live in Sea region?

[twilit steppe]

Well yes, NA is my main account because I wrongly registered at NA when I first started Genshin

[rose perch]

wow that sucks. how is the ping?

[twilit steppe]

Always red

I think the lowest I've gotten is uh.. 236

[rose depot]

we shouldn't be able to queue anymore right?

until 8 hours from now

right?

[inner dagger]

Right

[rose depot]

alrighty. Thanks!

[gaunt mica]

Just to add to this. Your overall quota is increased by 5 each day, so any matches that you didn't play will carry over to the next day.

[polar barn]

I get better ping in EU

Even tough I live in asia

[worn vine]

Do you have to play all of your matches to get rewards?

35 matches in 7 days seems a lot to me

[gaunt mica]

It's 3 wins for the sleeves and 10 matches, I think, for the welkin giveaway. Can check the faq also

[worn vine]

Sleeves?

[gaunt mica]

Card sleeves. In-game item

[worn vine]

10 games and 3 wins for the card back? Seems doable

Thx again

[pearl fern]

it's not clear if the 10 games also applies to the card back though kinda looks like that's only for welkin raffle but not sure

[rose depot]

does anyone know how many wins the top 16 had last time around?

hoping not everyone is super competitive x_x

[rose depot]

278

holy

needing to go 27-8 or better is such a high hurdle

[clever folio]

Why I don´t see their names?

It shows me numbers

[pearl fern]

if you're on mobile those don't like to load

[fathom fog]

Latam prince cup I guess! ( I’m Latino so probably need to top )

[pearl fern]

Good luck!

[clever folio]

PC actually

[vivid monolith]

is NA Prince Cup once a year

[pearl fern]

There's no info about whether they'll repeat it again, but as of now we only had the one NA big tourney yeah

[vivid monolith]

Thx

[lunar osprey]

Hi

[lucid sable]

I was at work earlier

so my first game of this tourney shall be soooooooon

[junior root]

Good luck yall, may the best duelist win

[drowsy wharf]

time to lose every game 🙂

[outer silo]

have some confidence in yourself

[brisk bloom]

all that matters is winning three games for that card back 🙏

[lucid sable]

Brrrr

Pray

Cope

Slay?

Nope

[brisk bloom]

why not slay :(

[clever folio]

LETS GOO ITS TIME

[brisk bloom]

TO BATTLE WE RIDE

[lucid sable]

RHYMING

anybody running BIN need these geo dice? ;-;

[lethal spruce]

I have

[wet bluff]

ohnyo

also this already has gone better than my last tournament where i lost all 4 games in a row and my one win stat was via seeding

i have gotten 2-3 so far

:)

so just one more win tomorrow and i'll be cardback elligible
but imma keep playing as much as i can after that happens. ^^

[lucid sable]

I fucking hate freeze decks

Stupid totm r1

[hybrid whale]

Noelle to the rescue

[lucid sable]

;-; I WAS OFF BY 1 HP FROM WINNING

[wet bluff]

NOOO

sad....

[lucid sable]

totm was topdecked r1

very upsetting

[clever folio]

Very unlucky for you, otherwise very lucky for me

[lucid sable]

had to use both woven r1 too just to get settup right

[wet bluff]

you know what i wonder
what if a card was a 0 cost and was just a "pass your turn to the opponent" card

[lucid sable]

I MADE THAT IDEA BEFORE

[wet bluff]

i wonder how much play that would see

[lucid sable]

;-;

[wet bluff]

aaa

[lucid sable]

I would-

like- if you're frozen or can't swap out

[wet bluff]

wait ur in GITCG server?

or did you make that idea here?

[lucid sable]

GITCG

[wet bluff]

ayy

i made a few character cards :)

[lucid sable]

:0

[wet bluff]

i'm still pretty happy with them lol

[lucid sable]

;-; where I was off by 1 hp cuz totm

and since aya no longer had infused na its +2 dmg cuz I was frozen :(

[brisk bloom]

even without that, skilling twice would have just killed you :(

[lucid sable]

if I wasn't frozen I woulda won :(

[wet bluff]

damn

[lucid sable]

Aaaaaaah

This is just

me taking the lead 3-32

[wet bluff]

it be like that sometimes

[lucid sable]

[wet bluff]

on the bright side, you have a good deck! it works!

it just came down to something that was not in your favor

[brisk bloom]

she went 4-1 with it last week's GITCG tournament, but submitted the wrong decklist so it didn't count ;-;

[lucid sable]

;-; went 0-5

[wet bluff]

[lucid sable]

and this most recent week power went out

[brisk bloom]

it's oki, you can go 4-1 again next week ;-;

[ionic whale]

So to get the card back you need to play 10 games and win 3 of them?

[lucid sable]

;-; mayhaps...

[drowsy wharf]

already lost my first match

noice

[lucid sable]

You will do better than when I played in S1

;-;

[drowsy wharf]

i just want my cardback man

[lucid sable]

🙏 I beleaf

[wet bluff]

Same!

[lucid sable]

2-1

;-; as long as my win lose ratio stays above 1:1 I’m ok

[ionic whale]

do you need that for the card back?

[lucid sable]

No

Just 3 wins iirc

[brisk bloom]

yeah

and 5 to join the Welkin raffle

[drowsy wharf]

this mf using shields

bro what

[hybrid whale]

I'm on the leaderboard for the first time!

[drowsy wharf]

2nd loss lets go

[lethal spruce]

I'm surprised I'm still on there....

[hybrid whale]

I wonder if a lot of top players went to SEA server for Prince Cup?

[drowsy wharf]

Whats a good resource to go to for good decks? I think im just bad at this TCG LOL

[hybrid whale]

Looking at recent GITCG weeklies is best imo, other than that I guess the GITCG discord server?

[fathom fog]

In the gitcg server are good decklist mostly of the big tournaments 😊

[drowsy wharf]

will do

im getting my butt kicked

real bad

[hybrid whale]

Are you playing in NA server? I didn’t see you on the leaderboard yet @fathom fog

[ionic whale]

only 1 more win 🙏

[fathom fog]

Yeah I’m playing but until this window can play 😅

U playing?

[hybrid whale]

Ah I see

[hybrid whale]

Yeah got on leaderboard for the first time 🙂

[fathom fog]

Let’s go kp going! 🥰

[drowsy wharf]

3 losses wo

[limpid orbit]

How's everyone doing?

[inner dagger]

I'm so nervous

[lucid sable]

2-1

if I win my next 2 I'm on the leaderboarddddd

maybe-

[drowsy wharf]

0-3 🙂

[limpid orbit]

Do your best guys. It's only the first day so don't give up. Remember that you only need 3 wins for the cardback.

[rose depot]

and 5 wins for a welkin moon chance! There are 35 games in total, plenty of time

[limpid orbit]

Yup ^

[drowsy wharf]

😭

[rose depot]

mario45 with the 5-0

👀

[ebon hull]

Heard someone say you needed to play 10 games + the 3 wins for the cardback, is that true?

[rose depot]

uhh im not sure

i only know of the 3 wins part

[neon juniper]

You need 10 games for welkin

[drowsy wharf]

I thought it was only 3 wins

[rose depot]

10 games isn't unreasonable though

[weak grail]

I only care for the cardback and need 1 more win for it, so pretty hopeful on that

[ebon hull]

Yeah thats what I figured, I only saw the 3 wins in the rules

Best of luck

[rose depot]

you have plenty of time still. 3 wins out of 35 games is less than a 10% win rate

[drowsy wharf]

watch me lol

jk jk im trying my best

[neon juniper]

Card back secured on to welkin tomorrow

[rose depot]

you got this!

[lucid sable]

AWW RAZOR PFP

[drowsy wharf]

gg btw!

[lucid sable]

I officially love you

[rose depot]

ggs as well! Good luck in the rest of the tour.

[misty harness]

first day feels really nerve wrecking compared to the last tournament for some reason. apologies to anyone playing me today, I'm really gonna overthink every move

[rose depot]

you're given all that time for a reason!

use it to think out your plays

[limpid orbit]

Take your time.

[drowsy wharf]

^ my opponent right now is using all his timer time, very wise choice

[rose depot]

best to consider the possible lines than to just rush and lose

[limpid orbit]

Unless you can turn back time

Card idea lmao

[drowsy wharf]

interesting that would be

[lucid sable]

;-; just waiting for when queues turn from almost instantaneous to the time limit + requeueing cuz not being able to find somebody

[rose depot]

don't feel like that would be the case? Likely hundreds of people participating, and especially near the end, you'll have folks scrambling that didnt finish their 35 games

[ancient spindle]

10 games 5 wins for welkin right ?

[lucid sable]

;-; it happens

theres always a stall period somewhere

[rose depot]

5 wins for chance of welkin

unsure about the 10 games thing

3 wins gets you the card back though!

that's the real prize

and 3 wins in 35 games...... isn't unreasonable

[hybrid whale]

Yeah played the same person in a row twice today…

[lucid sable]

^

[rose depot]

i don't think it's swiss or seeded at all

so like, a 4-0 could play a x-2 or a x-3

[hybrid whale]

Yeah it’s random matching

[rose depot]

but in fairness, as time passes there will be less people at the top spots

decent amount of 5-0s rn

[hybrid whale]

Anyone wanna practice match? I already finished my 5 matches for today

[rose depot]

sure @hybrid whale

[drowsy wharf]

do they match based upon wins? or random

[rose depot]

definitely random

at least for day 1

[drowsy wharf]

I see

[hybrid whale]

652608673 WL8

[drowsy wharf]

man internship/school has been me keeping from TCG, its real fun getting back into it

[arctic valve]

welcome back

[drowsy wharf]

thanks

2-3, got the hang of it at the end

new cards threw me off lol

[jovial needle]

Why does na lb look like asia lb

[strange peak]

Ah the tournament started

So tired... so busy...

Why must I suffer?

[arctic valve]

Suffering is living

enjoy the suffer

[lucid sable]

I'm in 23rd place at 4-1

so at least 9 people are 4-1

:0

[arctic valve]

now 10 people at 4-1

[slow mason]

already a better start than last time I tried this

[arctic valve]

x2

last one i started 1-4

[outer silo]

Is anyone willing to play a match with me? I'm looking to practice with a new deck for tomorrow

[hybrid whale]

I can probably play 1 until someone else comes

[outer silo]

sure join me at 6305783

whoops

630835783

[jovial needle]

I disconnected in my last game

[rich wasp]

there are more 5-0s in NA than AS

[dark lark]

NA migration

[limpid orbit]

[rose depot]

there are 16 5-0s

at least!

[polar barn]

Asia cope region

[outer silo]

I think that means that there are more bad players in NA to feed 5-0s

ofc we will never know until we get an international Genius Invokation tournament

[crystal tapir]

difference between na and asia top players not that big
asia has much more top players tho

[outer silo]

yeah that makes sense

[rose depot]

almost certainly more US players as well

due to discord being primarily a NA thing

safer to assume there are more average players than really good players

[rich wasp]

asia tavern is at least 2-3x bigger than NA

[outer silo]

speaking of top players, anyone want to play some practice with me to help me on my journey to the top?

[slow heart]

I woke up and all too 16 in NA are 5-0?

Seem different from previous tavern prelim I seen before

[lethal spruce]

[stiff crypt]

But there are more and more asia players play on other servers each season
I wonder how many players on each server now

[weak grail]

bros... thanks for believing in me I got 3 wins

I got a newfound respect for tcg now even though I don't like it that much

[jolly osprey]

anyone have a picture of the previous Card Back prizes?

[gaunt mica]

this is the first tavern with them

there was a previous prince cup for NA where the top 8 get some card backs as well, but those aren't out yet

[jolly osprey]

ooo

so if you don't get 3 wins out of the 10 games you cant get it?

hope i win

[dim ginkgo]

you need to play at least 10 games. you can get the wins after 10 if you didn't reach 3 already

I think

[jolly osprey]

oh ok, thanks

[rugged sequoia]

I'm just gonna fly thru my 10 matches tonight and then give up bc I know I have no chance of making top 16, there's just too many people who are better

[rose depot]

there's a maximum of 35 games

but safe to assume you won't get it if you can't win 3 games 😮

not unreasonable I would think? Since you need less than a 10% win ratio

[rugged sequoia]

3 wins is easy, winning all of them to just get into top 16? Not possible for the average player 😔

[rose depot]

27-8 was the 16th place last cats tail lol. Best place was 30-5

[brisk shadow]

i dont think thats possible even for the best players

everyone's bound to lose sometimes

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1019182719311298570/1060062589188579339/diceofcringe.gif

[ionic whale]

what do you get for being top 16

[brisk shadow]

last i rmb it was nothing, only top 8 has prizes

and prince cup top 16 gets the limited card back i think

which is separate from this one, u qualify for prince cup through this tournament OR wild card tournament which happens at another time

[ionic whale]

am i able to get the card back

[brisk shadow]

👍

3 wins is all u need

2 more wins and u can qualify for welkins raffles

[ionic whale]

I got 3 wins already

[ionic whale]

that’s for welkin

i want card back

[brisk shadow]

then ur good

[ionic whale]

if u get welkin

do u get the item

[brisk shadow]

uh... no idea

never won it before

[ionic whale]

i will keep it there and not use it

[slow mason]

4-1 again today

[brisk shadow]

correction: top 16 gets welkin

[slow mason]

if I wasnt stupid and knew how to count I could have 5-0

[brisk shadow]

samege 🤝

my dumbass ramped in front of an itto with burst in a BIN mirror 💀

[ionic whale]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-gif-26460616

[dim ginkgo]

i threw my last game 😔 by one dumb mistake

[ionic whale]

meta ppl something else

[brisk shadow]

[ionic whale]

I just take a deck from tcg discord and hope to win

[slow mason]

if these were the days of mmec or kenki that would be a viable strategy

[brisk shadow]

MMEC or BIN/Monklee meta, pick ur poison

[slow mason]

I hate bin or itto in general but mmec is true pain

[rose depot]

yeah, i havent lost yet is so bleh to play against

lost to it earlier since opp had double itto

can't do anything about that

[slow mason]

I like IHLY I hate itto the character card

[rose depot]

and 3 10-0's

[ancient spindle]

Wait till NA players get home

surely 16 5-0

[rose depot]

please no

[ancient spindle]

[ionic whale]

what

[slow mason]

I mean old mmec

[ionic whale]

what’s that

[slow mason]

mirror maiden electro charge

[ionic whale]

fischl keqing ganyu is goat

[rose depot]

so i don't even think mmec were that bad

feel like the better player should win most of the time still?

if it was such an issue and you expect it 100

100%

you could just bring ganyu superconduct

which shreds through mmec

also random question, but what happens if you have the score threshold to make top 16, but because you played it later you end up being placed below 16?

will there be a playoffs?

or are you just sol?

since the leaderboard prioritizes whoever gets the score first

[bold widget]

Sol, it happened in Asia last season

[rose depot]

ah

that heavily incentivizes playing early if you want top 16 then rather than trying to binge 35 games over 1-2 days

that sucks though

[bold widget]

Yeah, it discourages sniping at the last minute

[twilit steppe]

Tbh it sucks for people who are busy and can't play earlier IMHO..

[rose depot]

Yeah, it makes sense.

[bold widget]

It does suck for the people affected, if we have an increasingly large number of participants maybe they could increase knockouts to top 32

[rose depot]

making it top 32 probably makes the issue worse I'd imagine?

since it's much more likely to hit the score needed for top 32, than for top 16

[bold widget]

True, but at least more people in knockouts

[rose depot]

that is true!

more incentive to try

[ancient spindle]

Easy, you just need to have 30-0

[bold widget]

30-0 and don't play the last day

Guaranteed to finish your games before most other people

[ancient spindle]

NA surely cant have 30-5 rank 16th right ?

[rose depot]

this is the score from last time

[bold widget]

[rose depot]

uh

if top 16 are all 30-5 or better

lmaoooo

[frozen pike]

no, it's a bought welkin, so you get 30 days of welkin and 300 genesis crystals

[rose depot]

the meta is much faster than last cat's tail though, so there's some pretty big room for variance

whereas with mmec, there's more time to make a comeback

[ancient spindle]

Mmec loses to all Raiden cope though

[ionic whale]

@frozen pike am i eligible to get the card back

[lethal spruce]

Yup

[ancient spindle]

Yup

Play 1 more game and you will enter the welkin raffle

You have to win

[bold wedge]

What command would one use to pull this up?

[ionic whale]

the button

[brisk shadow]

#1073554428474437743, go to NA and click "my ranking"

[bold wedge]

Aaah thank you

Man... I just need two more wins

all I ask is the card back hfjdj

[brisk shadow]

u got this

[real nimbus]

im so confused by those stats. what number on there represents your w-l record?

[slow heart]

You get 10 point for winning and 1 point for losing so a score of 19 from above would mean 1 win 9 lost

[vivid monolith]

There are so many high score players this season…

[slow mason]

at least it's not like yesterday

[brisk shadow]

blame the asia invaders, they jumped ship from AS and invaded NA and EU

[hybrid whale]

Anyone want to do some practice matches?

[slow mason]

a can do a duel or two if you'd like

[vivid monolith]

yesterday I was 5-0 now 8-2😭

[slow mason]

at least you got a 5-0

[hybrid whale]

Sounds good, 652608673

[vivid monolith]

So is it allowed for people living in Asia play on NA server

[ancient spindle]

10-0 is a myth

[slow mason]

pretty sure thats the case

[ancient spindle]

Bruh ofc yes

You can go to AS if you want

[vivid monolith]

I actually did

0-2 in China tournament

[ancient spindle]

Wait you have CN account

[vivid monolith]

Yes

[ancient spindle]

Wow im surpised

[bold widget]

uno reverse in tcg

[ancient spindle]

Well you should play in AS next time for new experience

[vivid monolith]

I am playing in Asian tournaments. Like 5 of them. And lost all XD

[clever folio]

@vivid monolith To play in different servers dont you gonna need another discord account?

[vivid monolith]

In China we use we

QQ

Not dc

[ancient spindle]

Oh theres a CN tarvern like too

[clever folio]

In China "WE" use...

so you are from ASIA

[ancient spindle]

[vivid monolith]

I was born there

[bold widget]

there is no asia and NA, there is asian and NAsian

[clever folio]

anyways everybody talking about Asia and NAsian pro players but no one talking about how in EU no one get 10-0

[vivid monolith]

there will be one

My friend is 6-0. Hope he can get 10-0

[clever folio]

kathy how is your genshin name?

[vivid monolith]

Just made up a random name

[clever folio]

I thought I was already played against you in the tournament

[vivid monolith]

yes I remember you

[clever folio]

did i won by chance?

[vivid monolith]

I think I was more lucky

Today I made so many mistakes lol

[lucid sable]

🙏 hoping I can go 3-2 at least today

[lucid sable]

1-1

dang-

the drop from the 4-1 to a 5-5

[wet bluff]

my first two games were monklee and i want to kms

lmfao

[lucid sable]

My first two were raiden chong shenhe sc

third was monklee

IM ON THE LEADERBOARD :D

[crystal tapir]

@vivid monolith teach me cn meta 🥺

i have no real decks rn

[lucid sable]

How dare-

[rose depot]

same @vivid monolith

CN meta

[rose depot]

grats!

[lucid sable]

Not for long

;-; freeze deckkkkkk

BUT TY

[ionic whale]

neat

Do you have to play all 35 matches to get the card back?

I won 3 and played 10 already but I am leaving on a trip tomorrow morning

[bold widget]

no just win 3

[weak grail]

no, you've already met the requirements for it

[bold widget]

you'll get it

[hybrid whale]

This is S2 all over again

Go 4-1 day 1, day 2 keep losing

[stiff crypt]

Darkshine 30-0

Too op

[ancient spindle]

:Clueless:

surely i wont 30-0 i've alr lost 3

[lucid sable]

1-2 today cuz stupid freeze deck froze too quickly for my ramp

[stiff crypt]

I already lost 4 of 4 games

[ancient spindle]

oh will you continue playing ?

[vivid monolith]

teach me how to win you😭

[drowsy wharf]

@ebon hull was close

very close

[rose depot]

i'm barely hanging on

[ebon hull]

yeah, made me sweat

[rose depot]

every game i play feels so close

[ebon hull]

you have a good deck, you'll get there

[drowsy wharf]

im tryinggggg

[ebon hull]

just a numbers game, as long as you stay composed you'll get it

[rose depot]

the card back!

and the welkins

you can do it~

and top 16

should still be doable

[crystal tapir]

practice more than me and youll win :)

[pearl fern]

the players have certainly gotten better since the last time i played

[drowsy wharf]

indeed, tbh ive been only playing maybe 2 weeks so far, ive only been numbly placing cards against NPCs

but actually thinking through it

fun stuff

[rose depot]

we're not npcs

[ebon hull]

same, i'm fairly new, i started doing pvp 3 days before the tournament

[drowsy wharf]

yes yes i expect it to be harder ofc XD

[drowsy wharf]

i have not done any pvps before this LOL

[ebon hull]

lmao

[drowsy wharf]

yall insane

[ebon hull]

i did it just to practice

[drowsy wharf]

good

[rose depot]

you have to have a first tournament at some point!

[drowsy wharf]

yea, i mean i didnt have a goal to be on top for this tourney

just cardbacks

[rose depot]

and this is a pretty low stress tournament overall

i feel?

the primary goal is the card back

[drowsy wharf]

^

[ebon hull]

i played more of the earlier meta, I had your exact deck but with razor intead of raiden

[drowsy wharf]

i see

[ebon hull]

so I had to get acquainted with the newer meta, i found cyno to be an upgrade over keqing

its a lot less safe, but sweeping the enemy team in a turn is a dopamine fountain

[drowsy wharf]

his single attacks do alot yes

[drowsy wharf]

precisely why

XD

[ebon hull]

more importantly, it shreds mona-fischls

[drowsy wharf]

indeed

[ebon hull]

i had a chat with some other players over my deck, they warned against putting in too many draw cards

i think its fine to have a solid amount, 4-6 depending on how aggro the deck is

but i think you had way too much and few utility, unless you just got unlucky and didnt draw them

[drowsy wharf]

i just got unlucky lol

[ebon hull]

thats unfortunate

drawing the lotus crisps can honestly decide a match, so the entire point of mulligan + draw is just to fish it out

or at least thats because the aggro decks cut it close

[drowsy wharf]

ieve seen so far hmm

[lucid sable]

Aaaaaaah 7-3 isn't too bad-

[rose depot]

7-3's awesome!

[rose perch]

bit off topic but I was wondering if you got the reward from the knockout yet?

[neon juniper]

Professor Blep!! I watched your videos before the tournament

[pearl fern]

haha I hope it's helping somewhat, thanks for the support

[lucid sable]

:3 all my practice has finally paid off

[crystal tapir]

not yet

[rose perch]

k thanks. I was trying to figure out if that latest announcement was just for raffle or all prizes.

[drowsy wharf]

got my cardback

now just practice and maybe welkin raffle

[hybrid whale]

I went 2-3 today but I BEAT NYAHIDA WTF IS GOING ON (sorry Nyahida I'm just really happy I was able to beat such a high level opponent)

[crystal tapir]

bottom 10 totm tubby mond res 😭

[lethal spruce]

HOW

[lethal spruce]

TELL ME YOUR SECRETS

[hybrid whale]

I'm literally screaming rn, it was such a (good) long match too

[rose depot]

[vivid monolith]

I never beat him😭

[ancient spindle]

I feel you bro

[drowsy wharf]

how do you see how many you won?

[inner dagger]

You hands are shaking?

[limpid orbit]

Go to preliminary leaderboards @drowsy wharf

Then press "my ranking"

[drowsy wharf]

doesnt say amount of wins tho

[hybrid whale]

My legs were when I stood up

[limpid orbit]

You can calculate it based on your point ratio since its 10 points per win and 1 for a loss @drowsy wharf

[drowsy wharf]

ohhhh

makes sense thank u

[limpid orbit]

No problem

[drowsy wharf]

its certainly better than 3-7 🙂

[lucid sable]

You got the card back

[drowsy wharf]

all i care for this tourney XD

[lucid sable]

That'd've been good enough for me my first time

[drowsy wharf]

it is my first time, so ill take it

[limpid orbit]

I wonder what the card back will look like

[lucid sable]

https://tenor.com/view/uno-uno-card-gif-13594097

[limpid orbit]

[limpid orbit]

[drowsy wharf]

this would be pretty cute lol

[wet bluff]

so far i'm 2-8

hopefully tomorrow i win at least one more time
lmao
today got me worried

[pearl hedge]

if you just match against me you'll probably get the win

[rose perch]

all my games have been down to 1 hp or whoever has crisp... Where are the easy games this will be a nightmare on the last day

[wet bluff]

^

same

all my games were like
down to the wire

but i lost all of them

[wet bluff]

how many wins do you have so far?

[pearl hedge]

2

[wet bluff]

oh god we're in the same boat

well i wish us both at least a single win tomorrow

[rose perch]

i thought there will be more people coming in cuz card back but everyone I played have been in this server like forever. The card back is kinda rare. When oct rolls around probably less than 2000 people will have it.

[wet bluff]

I HOPE TO BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE

imma practice with my third deck

cube got me 2 wins but eula freeze got me 0 so far lol

i might also adjust the lists

[hybrid whale]

Lmk if anyone wants to do a practice match rn

[glad junco]

how do you cancel matchmaking if you accidentally started it?

[hybrid whale]

Just don't confirm when you match

[glad junco]

thank you!!

[real nimbus]

i am good now right?

i just want the card back i can buy my own welkins

:p

[rose perch]

global rank 382? hmm there are a lot less people than I thought. Going to be such a rare card back.

[real nimbus]

still lots of time left for people to join

[weak grail]

looks good. played 5, won 3 lost 2. you got the cardback

[real nimbus]

okay great. thank you! 🙂

[raven wyvern]

my first time making leaderboard

[white cipher]

I was wondering if the raffle welkin has ended?

[hybrid whale]

S2 raffles have been distributed yes

[rose perch]

what happens when they send you welkin but you are above 180 days?

[white cipher]

ty!!

[uncut fox]

Hallo. Am I good to get the cardback? Do I need to take any more steps after the 3 wins

[uncut fox]

I'm only here because you posted about this on Parsha 😂 Never heard anything about this anywhere else. You're a real one 👍

[rose perch]

ya it is a shame it isnt advertised more. People will be mad when 4.1 rolls around and the patch notes has this card back and no one can get it anymore.

completionist's nightmare losing out on an exclusive item.

[real nimbus]

mhy just have to make it ugly then no one will be mad not having it

[rose perch]

lol what it looks like doesnt matter. just having it is enough. I remember the google collab tea pot furniture looked awful. But a part of me is still sad I dont have it.

[raven wyvern]

I only care about things that look good so if it looks bad it would be

[real nimbus]

i missed kfc wings and i have klee and yae

[raven wyvern]

I only ever unlocked one card back too lol. It's the only one I like

[uncut fox]

Kazuha owns the KFC wings though

[real nimbus]

i like the mondstadt wings on him bc they match his vision

[uncut fox]

True

[real nimbus]

also hi again lol

[uncut fox]

👋

We both made it

[real nimbus]

my poor other opponent tonight

we got paired twice and i won both

[limpid orbit]

Hello, how are people's matches going so far?

[raven wyvern]

Managing to dodge ppl I know lol

[real nimbus]

i went 3-2 with my shenhe deck that i shamelessly copied off reddit

except i replaced liben with vanarana

[limpid orbit]

It's all good. I personally like playing with decks I made myself.

[real nimbus]

yeah i wanna spend more time brewing decks but i play too many paper tcgs in summertime

in winter ill spend more time brewing my own

[limpid orbit]

Yeah hopefully they keep releasing new cards as well.

[real nimbus]

my main deck is klee xq bennett but i wanted to start playing shenhe asap because she is my fave

[uncut fox]

I started off against some op Klee agro deck and it scared me to think everyone was gonna be that cracked then it was pretty fair after that 😂

[real nimbus]

i got blown up by a klee deck this morning

[limpid orbit]

klee is pretty strong in many decks

[real nimbus]

i was winning then on the last round he played 2 lotus crisp, 2 extra pyro dice, one of the starting hand card that gives extra dice

[limpid orbit]

I use her with xq and cyno as one of the decks I use.

Yeah that's unlucky

[real nimbus]

i like having resonance in most of my decks

the extra dice card is too strong

[uncut fox]

Is the score 31 like 3 wins and 1 loss? Is that how you read it

[real nimbus]

i kind of want to come up with a shenhe swirl deck, maybe with like ayaka and kazuha for the inazuma card

[limpid orbit]

Remember that many victories and defeats are due to obviously skill but also a lot of luck. Don't be too discouraged about losing. Or too overconfident about winning. Just a tip for those wanting to improve.

@uncut fox yes

[real nimbus]

yeah all tcgs have lots of variance and gitcg is no different

gotta take the losses on the chin and dont necessarily let the run-goods get to your head

[arctic valve]

I just lost a game for one single dice

[limpid orbit]

Yeah that's unfortunate. A lot of wins can be decided that way. That's why dice management is very important

[arctic valve]

is not that i lacked the dice, is just that it wasnt the color i needed

[lethal spruce]

[limpid orbit]

Dice roll luck is the reason I put both toss up and the paimon convert for bad dice lol

[arctic valve]

i have them, but they werent in my hand at that point (turn 2)

to me its very sad that the system can rng you to death, thats why i have been suggesting a small change to every turn

[limpid orbit]

Yeah sometimes luck is just against you. There's times when I never got a card I really needed

[arctic valve]

so you can get at least one guaranteed elemental dice matching your active character, on each first dice roll every turn

that way you at least can secure a NA

[lethal spruce]

[limpid orbit]

[raven wyvern]

I mean, the odds of rolling 16 dice and not getting one good dice when each dice is 1/4 odds is pretty low

[arctic valve]

i know, but when it happens, is almost an insta lose, and it feels very bad to lose that way, and saddly, it happens very often

[raven wyvern]

it has a 1% chance of happening

and even in those cases, you can still tune or use dice fixers

if it happens twice in a row, you cna just go next lol

[jovial needle]

i am 6-4. don't know if i can recover

[rose depot]

im pretty sure 31-4 will make it in

[hybrid whale]

🤝

[jovial needle]

i really was overconfident in so many games

[rose depot]

time to be cockier then!

your opponent does not have itto!

or enough dice to use their skills

[slow mason]

theoretically if there are enough tavern tournaments, eventually you will play one where all your opponents low roll

[arctic valve]

i think 29 - 6 can secure you a spot, 28 - 7 can make you advance but is up to standings against the other 28 - 7

its a rough road ahead, but its possible

[rose depot]

keep in mind that the people at the top of a score range

are there because they got there first

so it kind of discourages sniping

and encourages you to play asap

since you really do not want to be the person who gets the proper win/loss for 16th place

but fail to make it due to playing your games later

[raven wyvern]

I can only play night queue anyways so it doesn't matter to me

[hybrid whale]

In AoC, was about to win and suddenly game shuts down…coincidence?

[wet bluff]

I got cooked today and thought a lot about it lol

and because of that, i revamped my deck :)

so the cube is a lot more scary
and a WHOLE lot more consistent

[arctic valve]

cube + chicken is a scary combo

btw, a question, if i use adeptus tempt on yae and brust, do the second hit also get the +3?

[sullen walrus]

No only the first instance of damage.

[arctic valve]

then why the cube get +2 of the tendori on every hit?

[sullen walrus]

The second damage is considered a character status, not burst.

[sullen walrus]

Are you sure it is 4-4-5? As right now the only way to get it is with Bennet talent. But maybe I am wrong.

[arctic valve]

i will check

[raven wyvern]

The 2nd and 3rd hits of cube aren't even skills so they don't proc anything though

[rose perch]

what is this cube deck list?

[polar barn]

Wait it's the wrong one

If u guys are tired of stall/totm decks

Use this

[tacit spear]

Is there a way for me to confirm that I've qualified for the card back and raffle?

I have 10exp and 64 points, so 6 wins 4 losses, so that should qualify me, but I would like to confirm wih an official if possible. I am only looking to do the bare minimum to get the participation prize and raffle

[lethal spruce]

Yup, so you'll get the card back, and be entered in the welkin raffle

[ionic whale]

do I have to play all 35 games to get the card back?

[lethal spruce]

Nope

Just win 3

[ionic whale]

ok

did the already roll for welkin?

So is there any point to try and get 5 wins now

[rich wasp]

that was for last season

[twilit steppe]

That was for Season 2, now is Season 3 you still have a chance

[polar barn]

Don't give people hope

[bold wedge]

thank heck... that should be my three wins

Might go ahead and play the last two games of the day just for fun but after that I'm gonna sit back and watch people go at it lol

[twilit steppe]

I meant I managed to got one Welkin from this tournament so yeah

[tacit spear]

Thanks!

[strange peak]

I'm sad that most people who joined to get the back and welkin probably won't play more, so I'll be stuck with the pros when I start catching up when not busy

[wary heron]

[lethal spruce]

Felt

[lethal spruce]

New tcg player

[wary heron]

yeah i'm new to the game

[lethal spruce]

Yeah right

You can't hide from me, duck

[wary heron]

[lethal spruce]

[strange peak]

Hi new to the game... how are your thought about it so far?

[wary heron]

yes

[strange peak]

I need to redo all my decks from the last heated mode

[wary heron]

[strange peak]

Haven't been playing for a while... I might get beaten by a Kaeya, Diluc, Fischl deck

[wary heron]

its ok!

we all make mistakes

and we all suck at the game

[lethal spruce]

Fr

[polar barn]

But some suck more than others

[lethal spruce]

Me fr

[ancient spindle]

some suck harder, some suck less

:Clueless:

[polar barn]

[rose depot]

every single game has been so difficult

[slow mason]

you're still top 5 though

[rose depot]

BIN, double anemo shenhe, monklee, send help

yeah, barely

every single game so far has pretty much been last hit

slightly luckier

[lyric folio]

same. 3-4 :(

[slow mason]

just match against people who play cope decks like me

[rose depot]

i dont want to play you again

[slow mason]

didnt you beat me?

[rose depot]

barely iirc

must've been close since i favorited it

but gap can close really quickly

1 bad day and you fall out of top 16

[slow mason]

I honestly can't remember but I'm pretty pessimistic when it comes to fighting against klee

[rose depot]

I don't play monklee though

[slow mason]

I guess I cant remember the game at all then

[rose depot]

dislike the deck

[slow mason]

what do you play?

[rose depot]

the cope fatui variant

lol

[vivid monolith]

Who is that 150/15? Can’t see his id on my phone

[rose depot]

it only shows his discord id lol

on desktop as well

6th, 9th and 11th place as well

[hybrid whale]

Can everyone but me have a bad day so I can get back into top 16 pls ty

:p

[rose depot]

Asia leaderboard on the other hand......

what is this

both the names and how high everyone's score is on average

[vivid monolith]

😭

[lethal spruce]

[misty harness]

I may just dip at this point, I'm 5/5. no reason to go on if I think it's nearly impossible to win my every match after this, right?

[slow mason]

you might not win but it will still be good practice in case you want to try again whenever the next tournament happens

[rose depot]

starting to drown..... lost 2 games today

[patent ridge]

any news on what the 3 win card back looks like and how soon we'll get it?

[slow mason]

who did you lose to?

[misty harness]

I lost 3 games to the same deck. Is Noelle/Itto/Barbara meta?

[slow mason]

yep people call it bin

[misty harness]

oh

figures, hadn't seen that one before the tournament

[frigid sundial]

So many good players

[limpid orbit]

Right? People are getting better

[rose depot]

not someone in the top 16

[slow mason]

on one hand it's nice to see more people getting better but on the other, I'll probably be knocked out by some of them

[rose depot]

lost to someone who ran double anemo shenhe

and it was just more so 3 rounds of no ramp + unplayable dice

and the other was just choking vs the beidou/kokomi/mona list that won last week's NA weekly

[hybrid whale]

Lost 3 today and 2 of those were just unplayable dice or cards

[rose depot]

did the whole, ramp to lose true combo lol

when i had a clear path to winning

[slow mason]

rip

[slow mason]

I lost to that on the weekly it toped

[rose depot]

like it's still doable to make top 16

but the path is rough

legit need to win 5:1

rather than 4:1

[rose depot]

yeah ehh

BIN i don't think i've struggled with

or double anemo shenhe

literally the loss to double anemo shenhe was due to unplayable dice

[slow mason]

I feel like I've been doing a lot of advertising recently but

have you considered playing diona

[hybrid whale]

Looking for practice matches, want to try out a new deck

[slow mason]

she will usually win against double anemo shenhe

[rose depot]

think swapping over to diona rn is a bit risky

oh i dont mind double anemo shenhe

the loss to it was just due to unplayable dice

lost to hu tao/yoi/xingqiu

[hybrid whale]

Depends on if she's a good replacement for Barbara in BIN

[rose depot]

which according to SI is pretty good

and that's the sole 15-0

so

though i lost more so due to double itto + woven

which.... okay..... fair

never winning vs that LOL

need to just play better

get better luck

opp getting cringe dice

[ancient spindle]

i dont see SI or Nyahida on the lb

whats wrong ?

[rose depot]

10-0s

lol

they play during the last 2 hours

[ancient spindle]

smart

[rose depot]

or 9-0

i forget

[ancient spindle]

queueing at a last possible time is also a good strat

[rose depot]

it's a horrible idea on the last day

but day 1-6 it's fine

[ancient spindle]

you should apply it too

who know

[rose depot]

performance drops in the later block

[ancient spindle]

you could queue into them

[rose depot]

but i only have time to play 4 games in the morning

[ancient spindle]

oh you mean like now ?

[rose depot]

i play one game during this block 😮

4 games in the earlier block

it takes around an hour or so for 4 games

[atomic sundial]

Tfw 83.333333% go second rate.

[slow mason]

getting diona sniped early on in the game sucks

I barely lucked out into a win

[eager mesa]

with all the FTKs sitting around (some pushing as much as 14 damage) you definitely need to be prepared to lose any char you field round 1

especially if you spend turn 1 suiting up

[tropic slate]

but cmon what are the chances that the monaklee gets tandoori and (changing shifts or woven) and dice fixers and pyro res r1

surely not

[slow mason]

surely

[eager mesa]

who needs dice fixers

when you can just be ting

[tropic slate]

indeed
