[slow mason]

I think I've had that happen enough times for me to just expect that to happen every game and be grateful when it doesnt

[tropic slate]

happened to me exactly once and same

[rose depot]

100%

[slow mason]

finally got myself a 5-0

[eager mesa]

[outer silo]

is anyone willing to play me? I need practice

[sullen walrus]

How do you see their score? Or you directly asked them?

[rose depot]

Asked

[hybrid whale]

Nyahida should have at least 1 loss…

[rose depot]

Maybe mistaken nyahida for someone?

Si is about to go 15-0 though

[sullen walrus]

And he said he is playing NEC.

He is just too skilled

[rich wasp]

nec good

i also played a few on shenhe sc

im stuck in 3.7

[rose depot]

Did kazoo/candace change the meta

[rich wasp]

therse candace zhongli

which exists

and mona klee fei kinda exists

[hybrid whale]

@rich wasp How did you become so good? This isn’t my first competitive game but it is my first TCG so unsure what I can do to get better

[rich wasp]

qiqidead

[outer silo]

what does NEC stand for

[rich wasp]

nahida electro charged

[ancient spindle]

He's a heartstone player

[rich wasp]

yeah i just play too much card game

[outer silo]

ah ok

[hybrid whale]

So it’s literally just experience playing against good players a bunch?

[rich wasp]

its me neglecting every other aspect of my life for the past 10 years to play card games

not really but i do play a lot of card games

[hybrid whale]

[slow mason]

congrats on 15-0

[rich wasp]

itll be gone tmrmow deadge

kirano is 15-0 on NA and AS and 14-1 on EU

[raven wyvern]

If you do something for 10 years competitively you should be pretty good at it lmao

[rich wasp]

what even

that guy is way too good

[hybrid whale]

That’s like the opposite of me, I’m good at a bunch of different things but I’m not top level in anything

[raven wyvern]

Same

[hybrid whale]

At least you’re still on leaderboard

[rose depot]

44-1

[raven wyvern]

Sure but doesn't change the fact that si is better

For now

[rich wasp]

i bet kirano is playing chicken itto or something too deadge

[raven wyvern]

Lol what

[slow mason]

they're both really impresive

[rich wasp]

15-0 in AS with lawachurl jadeplume itto would be hilarious

[raven wyvern]

I would be pretty scared facing anyone playing that ngl

[rose depot]

If they’re 44-1 rn

Feel anyone would be scared vs that

Wonder what he lost to

[raven wyvern]

Himself prob

[outer silo]

if you play 45 games eventually you jsut wont get the right dice to do anything

[slow mason]

isn't it 29-1?

[eager mesa]

ended up 12-2

punted a game away because I didn't see the line that played around both food or woven

[rose depot]

15-0 in NA/AS, 14-1 in EU

so uh

44-1 total

[slow mason]

oh I read it wrong

[eager mesa]

oh wait I'm 13-2

[atomic sundial]

Only took 9 losses, but I got 3 wins

[slow mason]

there's too many good players

[hybrid whale]

[eager mesa]

[slow mason]

I am definitly getting kicked from the leaderboard

[ancient spindle]

Wait who ?

Kirano ?

Onarik ?

[slow mason]

yes

[ancient spindle]

44-1 omw

[rose depot]

yes

[ancient spindle]

Bruh

We need to stop him

[rose depot]

he already lost once in EU!

[slow mason]

nah we just have to accept our fate

[outer silo]

haha yeah can't let them think NA is weak

[ancient spindle]

Who tf help him 15-0 in AS

[rose depot]

is he going 104-1?

[outer silo]

if we can't take wins off of kirano we look weak

[rich wasp]

we always meme on EU

but EU hardest region bc it has kirano

deadge

[rose depot]

is it really the hardest region due to Kirano

if he's in every region?

[hybrid whale]

^

[fathom fog]

Im stuck like 3.5/3.6

[polar barn]

He is in NA?

What's his name

[rose depot]

the guy that's all numbers

that's 15-0

the not stupididiot 15-0

[polar barn]

Oh

[rich wasp]

that’s either kirano or i’m getting trolled by someone

deadge

[outer silo]

I know its late but is anyone up for a game rn?

[hybrid whale]

Sure

[outer silo]

ok lets do it

[violet rose]

You can register in multiple regions? Is that against the rules?

[polar barn]

No

Surly

[violet rose]

I want to start making accounts in AS and EU too, but I get the feeling they might make it a rule in the future.

Imagine going through the game to unlock TCG and all the characters just for them to make it a rule in the future.

[polar barn]

It takes 3 days

To grind a new acc

That's what I heard

3 days of hell

[crystal tapir]

they said that is it not against the rules but not recommended

[ancient spindle]

Its fact

[ancient spindle]

This is the price

[sullen walrus]

Wdym 3 days. I try to get my Asian account to level 32 since two weeks ago and I am still at level 25.

[polar barn]

Idk

Some people are able to

[ancient spindle]

Its 3 days

you play like a mad man

[polar barn]

LIC clan is involved in activities like this

[rose perch]

it just a side project if you truely want to do it. Just unlock commissions and after that do a daily every few days and you have ar 30 by the next season of cats tail.

[ocean gulch]

this is what i did for na

it was so much easier than my eu alt

[violet rose]

Why are there so many people with SUC in their name?

[ancient spindle]

[polar barn]

[pine heron]

3 days of pain and agony or a month of slow progress

[crystal tapir]

🤣

[wary heron]

because they all SUCk

[wary heron]

i took 3 patches

[abstract kayak]

[stiff crypt]

I need about 3 weeks to reach lv. 32

But some people are just too fast

[brisk shadow]

u can do it in 3 days... and no life

Better than wettoo

[polar barn]

Fake bin pilot

And Kojo beat me last time we fought

This was revenge

[wet bluff]

[lethal spruce]

[wet bluff]

man, every game i've played has been extremely close at the very least

3-9 LOL

realizing a big weakness of my deck is fighting shenhemo

or anything with AOE

so i need a bit more healing

mby instead of pizza, sangonomiya shrine?

[fiery vault]

bruh you just need send off

[wet bluff]

i have send off

[fiery vault]

then try your best to get it first hand

[wet bluff]

it's the skill that hurts more often than not lol

I can ony avoid the swirls for so long lol

also yeah gonna say again that yoimiya heavy strike to pyro res play was really good

caught me hella off guard

[fiery vault]

bruh didnt think you have 2 litm

[wet bluff]

we both were flabbergasted in that sequence then lol

[jovial needle]

[stiff crypt]

[fiery vault]

well a lost for me

[slow mason]

[wary heron]

5 games per day

7 days

35 games?

[gaunt mica]

[ancient spindle]

[slow mason]

alright thanks

[brisk shadow]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1060779661572984882.webp?size=48&name=pitawtf&quality=lossless

[slow mason]

[brisk shadow]

looking at the 105 games in 1 week

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1094481165857079387.webp?size=48&name=ohno&quality=lossless

[twilit steppe]

I did 92 games in the very first tournament, if anyone did 105 they probably only have like 2 hour of sleep every day

[lethal spruce]

Felt

[wary heron]

you ok

[twilit steppe]

Well I am right now

[vivid monolith]

😱

[gaunt mica]

I still wish they'd knock this down a little to like 30 games and just let Sunday be a day where your quote doesn't increase but just lets you catch up.

[rose depot]

doing awfully rn

15-5...... isnt enough for top 20

er

16

[slow mason]

you could still make it back

[wary heron]

it's ok

you can just win all the next games!

it's that easy

[pale nymph]

well i do my games during work as a security

[bold widget]

Today I realized I can either do well in tavern or test cope or neither, but not both at the same time

[brisk shadow]

wait, hold on, i think i did the same

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1031836285935034411.webp?size=48&name=Despairge&quality=lossless

[wet bluff]

ohman

[tropic slate]

this almost fucked me up last time because i had family business to take care of for the entire afternoon on sunday

so if I hadn't gotten up in time to play all five matches in the morning I'd have just been out

please give us a flex day in the future

[pearl fern]

a 7 day spanning tournament is pretty insane yeah

if you ahven't already make sure you're filling out those surveys and making that point though it mostly only matters for the small % aiming for leaderboards

[sullen walrus]

That brings me some thought. Is the point of tournament is for the community or the few competative people who want to make leader borad?

[slow mason]

why not both

it feels like a way to introduce new players by bribing them with the give away while at the same time hopefully getting some of those people invested enough in the game to start playing competitively

[rose depot]

by definition this is competitive o_o

that's kind of what tournaments are

and given that there are much more games played here than say in the LCQ

it's much less likely for a non competitive player to make it out

[tropic slate]

that was the first match i've lost definitely because of a misclick

fuck it's so much more tilting

than losing to bad play

[rose depot]

you mean you didn't lose earlier

due to accidentally tuning lotus instead of your bestest?

[tropic slate]

accidentally playing lotus instead of adeptus

[rose depot]

the one thing i will say is though

for the people in the 16th place range

with a tied score

there should be a playoffs

rather than yknow

a

"can you get up early and/or be blessed to be in a good timezone"

[tropic slate]

i'm just gonna be real salty if they do another prince cup NA and base it off of this one, where i am not going to place t16, instead of last one, where I did

[rose depot]

or do normal checking of the value of their wins or something

stuff like that

if you place outside of top 16

due to you not finishing earlier

you should understandably be upset lol

since if you didnt realize, the score order is based on who finishes first

[tropic slate]

no yeah exactly

[rose depot]

I'm sorry for people in Hawaii or the west coast?

the the first block starts at 2am or 5am respectively

[rose depot]

it's implied there's another prince cup though isn't there?

[tropic slate]

i remember last time it was implied by one of the announcement posts but this time it says specifically for asia

so idk

[lyric folio]

I think they are atleast doing one next year

[rose depot]

if there's no prince cup then i wouldnt feel as bad as failing to make top 16

[pearl fern]

what qualifies you for prince cup is already announed, so this won't count for NA

[glad junco]

are you allowed to not play all the games in your quota?

[tropic slate]

Did the cat's tail s1 mention the prince cup NA and EU?

[pearl fern]

I mean most ppl don't. Last season a few on the leaderboard were like 32/35 and prob stopped since they were guaranteed

[tropic slate]

because if not then that's precedent

[pearl fern]

It did, but the announcement was pretty hidden

[tropic slate]

ah

[pearl fern]

since it was only on Astra Carnival news site mostly

[rose depot]

only announcement is for princes cup SEA

[pearl fern]

I think latnam was also announced

[rose depot]

latnam?

[glad junco]

are you able to register and not play at all? There's no minimal number of matches requirement?

[pearl fern]

i mean if you don't play your'e not eligibel for anything so it doesn't matter?

[rose depot]

it's not like there's a punishment for not playing any games

[sullen walrus]

Can we cancel game when already got matched?

need to dodge SI.

[tropic slate]

lmao

[pearl hedge]

I think you could but that would probably be a strike

[tropic slate]

that seems unsportsmanlike

[clever folio]

If you do, that will may be your last match

[thorny oyster]

its for everyone thats interested in tcg or the prizes

everyone got more or less same chance to get to leaderboard

[pearl fern]

it kinda is but they do have the welkin and card back as baasically a participation prize

[mortal furnace]

aint the card back only for the top 16?

[thorny oyster]

its for everyone with 3 wins

[tropic slate]

what i wonder is

[slow mason]

no, its for wining 3 games

[glad junco]

if you win 3 matches you get it

[pearl fern]

you're thinking of the prince cup card back - which (hopefully) is different

this season has it's own participation card back

it would be kinda troll if it was the same one I'd have to assume they're different

[tropic slate]

is this the same cardback as the prince cup 1 folks got

or is it a different one

[violet garnet]

No. They need to edit their post about how it "qualifies you for the next prince cup" I messaged the mod team. But they totally disregard the blatant misrepresentation in their post.

They should specify which region its applicable too when they make the post/link to the post.

[rose depot]

I'm guessing you can just match with anyone right?

[rose depot]

sign me up if it's the same one please

if only because i didnt make top 8

Where is Kirano based btw?

since if he's not located in Asia

it's likely he won't be able to participate in the prince cup

[rich wasp]

he’s EU

also i’m off the leaderboard woot

can queue whenever i want now

[rose depot]

wait what

does being on the leaderboard restrict who you can queue with?

[rich wasp]

being on the leaderboard means people know when ur queueing

bc your score is changing

deadge

[rose depot]

why does that matter for you though?

[thorny oyster]

dont leak the sauce :ayawa

[sullen walrus]

No what I am saying is that if they want to create a tournament, should the community put first or the competitive players? This aspect change the prize distribution of the tournament. If it is competitive focus then the top # get all the prize and if it is community focus, the prize is spread in smaller bracket.

[thorny oyster]

so people can dodge

[rich wasp]

bc kirano is 17-0

[rose depot]

just slide into kirano dm

tell him when you're queue'ing

[thorny oyster]

thats why some of the top players dont aim for early leaderboard

like

theyre staying still at 14-0

or smth

[rich wasp]

i get the feeling kirano actively wants to fight me xd

[sullen walrus]

oh SI, I can stop quequing now to avoid you

[thorny oyster]

so they dont show up on leaderboard

[rich wasp]

i wasn’t planning on queueing today anyways

gotta root for pohtato

[rose depot]

shann has no fear of me

[sullen walrus]

why?

[rose depot]

one of your two losses

[rich wasp]

if i was competing on asia or eu i wouldn’t really care and just want to go against the strong players

[sullen walrus]

I low row my oponer, can't shenhe skill

[rose depot]

your low roll is my high roll

NA players are good trust

strongest region

that's why there are lower scores across the board

too many good players stopping each other!

[thorny oyster]

sadly strongest region doesnt even play on this tournament :gldge:

[rich wasp]

tw surely

[thorny oyster]

tw players plays in asia 😠

[rose depot]

how many different regions are there?

KR/JP

CN

the rest of Asia

EU

NA?

[rich wasp]

i mean it’s

[rose depot]

maybe NA is just America?

[thorny oyster]

cn is the strongest server

[rich wasp]

AS EU NA

[thorny oyster]

due to the huge playerbase

[rich wasp]

and then TW

and then CN

[rose depot]

KR and JP are their own thing

or at least they got their own tour series

[thorny oyster]

kr and jp is asia

[rich wasp]

just talking server wise

[rose depot]

oh

[thorny oyster]

yea

[rose depot]

i meant for regons

regions

that prince cup considers

[rich wasp]

oh

clueless

[rose depot]

CN plays on QQ

iirc?

since discord is almost certainly banned in CN

[rich wasp]

i feel like sea will be the most competitive

we’ll see

[rose depot]

well QQ or Weibo

would be the primary communities for CN

[thorny oyster]

theres some known cn player that got away with it tho pe

Sherry

[rose depot]

yes ofc

there are some that VPN through

but vast majority would not be able to

[thorny oyster]

i wanna see how nightingale plays in asia :sadge:

[sullen walrus]

talking about NA, I haven't seen Shuffle, Ting, and Nyahida play yet

[glad junco]

do you need to do anything after winning the required 3 matches for the card back?

[thorny oyster]

dont think they stated anything

so no

[rich wasp]

you need 10 games played as well iirc?

total

[thorny oyster]

wait really?

[rich wasp]

or was that for something else

[thorny oyster]

isnt thats welkin ?

[rich wasp]

maybe that was for welkin

[thorny oyster]

i think its welkin

5w10xp

[rose depot]

you need 10 games played minimum and 5 wins to qualify for welkins raffle

just 3 wins for the card back

here's hoping that top 8 prince cup isn't an exclusive card back

otherwise us peasants will never get it

[pearl fern]

I mean that's the idea

I think it's a nice reward for the, qualifying is hard

[sullen walrus]

me waiting for prince cup card back

[pearl fern]

Hopefully they give out the same one maybe if there are future price cups so it's not literally just this years tourneys

[rose depot]

it'll be the same card back as what 3 wins gets! So coming in october!

[crystal tapir]

prince cup card back surely has nahida on it

[mortal furnace]

I played shuffle today

[tropic slate]

i'm 1-1 with nyahida so far

[arctic valve]

nyahida is love, nyahida is life

[rose depot]

wait bird

where are you on the rankings

[lucid sable]

might be my last day cuz my dad is dragging the family out to go fishing friday-monday

[arctic valve]

nooooooooooooooo Ren nooooooooooooo

maybe there is signal in the fishing spot?

[lucid sable]

no shot ;-;

my dad for some reason has gained a fishing craze ever since he bought a used boat a few months ago

[lethal spruce]

Wha

[tropic slate]

13-7, 24th currently

there is approximately a 0% chance I go 5-0 for the remaining three days in a row

and 28-7 is likely the lowest you can get for t16, if it's anything like last time

[slow mason]

it's not impossible

[crystal tapir]

@slow mason are you 17-3 with diona

[slow mason]

yes

double pyro diona

[crystal tapir]

Wtf pro

Sorry for doubting you

[rugged crane]

anyone?

[slow mason]

It's nothing special I'm just lucking out

[hybrid whale]

I'm down for practice matches if anyone wants to play me

[rose perch]

lol you started your q 1 min before the cut off time.

[rugged crane]

im never catching up

[crystal tapir]

How many you at

[rugged crane]

thankfully got some games in at least

[crystal tapir]

Am also quite behind in schedule

[rugged crane]

12 😭

[crystal tapir]

😭

[raven wyvern]

good thing I'm got my games in before weekend queue

[rose depot]

people can buster out

so far the scores are low enough

that 27-8 doesnt seem like the benchmark..... maybe

[tropic slate]

i'll be very surprised if it isn't

[crystal tapir]

what is weekend queue

is it harder

[raven wyvern]

yes

in my experience it is lol

friday,sat,sun

[crystal tapir]

si queueing solo raises the difficulty 😓

[rose depot]

what im hearing is

kurano vs SI/nyahida

so we can catch up

[crystal tapir]

im washed

not a real threat

play too much table tennis

[rose depot]

that's fine! bring your score down so us poor folks can catch up!

[crystal tapir]

im not even on lb 😭

[wet bluff]

i've always been washed :)

i am clean :)

[wary heron]

washed?

i'm not washed i was always bad

[wet bluff]

i am bad but
i feel all these games have given me more lines and thoughts on my deck and what it is capable of

although an itto with bell popping geo resonance and healing twice over 2 rounds makes me wanna kms

i love BIN

[vivid monolith]

what is su c

SUC

[ocean gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/balls-one-gif-26085409

[crystal tapir]

got reward from ko now

time to queue some tavern :)

[rose perch]

dang i didnt get a welkin. that means I didnt win the raffle and my last welkin was from knockout...

[crystal tapir]

welking idk
won one but it might be from jp astra

[hushed gull]

what is SUC?

[crystal tapir]

https://tenor.com/view/el-risitas-juan-joya-borja-ratones-coloraos-laugh-meme-laughing-man-gif-24899295

[ancient spindle]

SUC and LIC are 2 best clan

both have the same goal

[fallen gale]

what does it stand for?

[ancient spindle]

SUC ma ....

Who's Joe

[hot umbra]

Who's joe

😭

[dark lark]

[limpid orbit]

Howdy

So what deck has everyone been using for this tourney?

[inner dagger]

Shenh Chongyun y Shogun

I had Lost the last tree Match with that

[arctic valve]

yae ganyu super conduct

[wary heron]

wtf

who's sucking balls here

[limpid orbit]

[crystal tapir]

wheres joe?

[limpid orbit]

No one's asking: how's Joe 😔

[inner dagger]

Rip

[lethal spruce]

My deck

[hybrid whale]

Not Diona (except leoric)

[limpid orbit]

Yeah that's honestly a good deck tbh @lethal spruce

[slow mason]

double pyro diona

[lethal spruce]

[vivid monolith]

still have 3 matches to play🫠can’t believe there are people can do 15 matches per day

[limpid orbit]

@slow mason I like the use of new cards. What is your opinion on it so far?

[raven wyvern]

tfw there are no new cards in my deck

:sadge

[slow mason]

I mostly only think of new cards in how well they can help me make a better diona deck and how likely they are to beat my diona so for the new character cards the only one that really matters to me is yanfei because she's slightly better than bennett for double pyro diona, as for kazu and candace they dont seem like they will be very helpful for diona decks and they also dont seem very threatening to play against so I don't really care for them

also I dont like arcane cards

the only new card in my diona deck is fei

[limpid orbit]

I see, have you found success in the deck? @slow mason

[zenith wraith]

Hello everyone hope everyone is doing well! 😄

[slow mason]

somewhat, I'm currently at 9th place with 20-5

but my hopes of winning left me after getting destroyed by bin

[limpid orbit]

Oh nice, i like to see unexpected decks make it.

[wary heron]

I am not doing well

[limpid orbit]

Doing alright. Hungry though

[hybrid whale]

At least doing better than last tourney

[zenith wraith]

Always exciting!

[zenith wraith]

Oooo any food you had in mind?

[limpid orbit]

Oh I was hungry for some duels

[zenith wraith]

[limpid orbit]

@zenith wraith Horrible joke lol and I was thinking some chicken alfredo or tacos 🤔

[zenith wraith]

why not both?

taco alfredo

[arctic valve]

that sounds like sushi burrito

[zenith wraith]

that can also be arranged!

[eager mesa]

ggs @rich wasp that leaves me at 17-3

[rich wasp]

should be good enough if you have time for the last 15 games

[eager mesa]

I should have time for 10 games tomorrow night

sunday's gonna be rough tho

[polar barn]

[stiff crypt]

There's many players with lower score

[rose perch]

oh how many players are there now when you press ranking? you already dropped out right

[stiff crypt]

Should be about 1000 players in total

[rose perch]

oh wait it wasnt you who I reply to from that last message

[stiff crypt]

Yes, my rank is 684

||skill issue||

[rose perch]

but if there are 1000 plus where are they... I swear all 25 of my games were exlusively against top 16

most are even 2 games per player

[stiff crypt]

Maybe many of them has dropped

[rose perch]

maybe they changed how the matchmaking works

should have been like others and just not play games keep score low so they cant face each other

[stiff crypt]

No, it's random

The ones who keep losing still face against top leaderboard players

[rose perch]

I dont mean it is based on win rate. I mean it is based on number of games

[stiff crypt]

I don't think so

Still random

In queue time

[crystal tapir]

what score?

[raven wyvern]

nah you're just queueing at the wrong times

first five days you shouldn't really run into any leaderboard players. weekend though...

[crystal tapir]

if i were to estimate i get 2-3 lb players per 5 games

tho tbf some players are just on lb because they finished game fast

[rose perch]

ya maybe. It would be fine if it was just 1 game but it is usually back to back same person. I just can't get any non leaderboards for some reason. Hopefully weekend will be easier since I can't play them anymore but my current score I am already out of the running

[wary heron]

Maybe you're just too good at the game

[raven wyvern]

nah matchmaking isn't mmr based I don't think

[crystal tapir]

honestly id rather have a mmr based lb where you dont cry when match with a strong player

but that also raises other problems

[raven wyvern]

I would rather not cuse I'm not a strong player

[rose perch]

I rather tiebreakers be determine by the quality of your opponents and not by simply when you finished the games. It makes no sense we have to get up at 6am on sunday just to fight for tiebreakers.

[crystal tapir]

still think its good to add a extra day as being busy on the last day sucks

[rose perch]

if they do add 1 more day you will have people holding off 15 plus games just waiting for leaderboard to all finish

[wary heron]

I feel like adding one more game would be good, as people with a busy week will be able to make up for missed games

[gaunt mica]

heavy agree. Time of last game finished is just awkward

[fast frost]

I was sick for most of the week so I got a lot of games to play

Although unless I win every game from now on, I doubt I’ll get in the top 16

[slow heart]

@gaunt mica i queue into another monklee after you left

Come back

[gaunt mica]

I got bin right after our match too >:

[crystal tapir]

do you think we will have ban phase in ko

[slow heart]

I won the match up tho

[gaunt mica]

I didn't

[cyan zinc]

monklee against bin?

[gaunt mica]

yeah, surprisingly the first I lost to it

and similar to my game against you, was 1 hp off

[cyan zinc]

thats unlucky

[crystal tapir]

all the pros are playing?

i scared to queue....

[slow mason]

then dont

I rather not fight you

[crystal tapir]

Dont snipe me

In in queue

:)

Want to play some before sleep sleep

Smh its 7am why am i not asleep

actually yea someone snipe me i just want a game :/

queue deadge

[slow mason]

no

I'd be the one getting sniped

[crystal tapir]

getting dodged ;-;

skillshot too hard to land

wahhhh still no queue

[rose perch]

is it worth it to try anymore if you got 8 losses? cut off seems to be 28-35 unless on the last day everyone loses a ton.

[slow heart]

14 more games

[slow mason]

I was coping with a deck yesterday and forgot to swap back my deck

[arctic valve]

gogogo

[wet bluff]

I feel i need to learn to slow it down lol

[slow heart]

Didn’t get bell till r6

[wet bluff]

f

also yeah slowing it down helped a bit
but i need to better see my kill lines

fought a shenhemo deck for my last game and i feel good cuz all the other times i fought that archetype i got completely destroyed

[slow mason]

it sucks looking back at a game and realizing you could have won if you didnt make one misplay

[wet bluff]

^

my misplay was gamblers on wrong person lol

tighnari got a double kill
if he had gotten those +4 dice i would have been sitting very pretty

but still!

they didn't survive with every single character intact this time!

(which is how my previous games vs. shenhemo went)

i might be getting my teeth completely and utterly kicked in

but i am also happy cuz i feel i'm improving a lot from when i started the tourney

instead of like 5 mistakes it's usually 1 or 2

[slow mason]

I'm at 6 losses now so I'm unsure if I'll make it

and I still have to play one more game later in the day

[twilit steppe]

Yeah....

[gaunt mica]

same, expecting that I'm going to drop hard once people catch up on their games

[rose depot]

Bird lives at 228 is very far down the leaderboard

Literally only one person I’d say is worse than him in top 16

246 seems to be a safe amount to be at

237 shaky

[slow mason]

I'm at 236 but I could easily end at 26-9

at this point it's just going to be up to my next 6 matchups

[rose depot]

if you get to 246, you'r likely in a safe-ish spot?

236 is very precarious though ye

like at 236 score.......

legit only bird lives and the guy at 201

is below you

in terms of scoring potential

11th place is in a similar position

but the 212-214s at 25 exp? lol

[slow mason]

is ting playing this tavern?

[rose depot]

i believe so

but iirc

he was at 12-4

last i checked

or 12-3

since i was at that score, and ting was like, "oh that's the same as me lol."

but yeah, 236 is very precarious

[slow mason]

gboo is also in a good position though

[rose depot]

well

21-2

with 7 games remaining

think most would laugh if you say he's going from 21-2 to 23-7

like it's possible? But not likely

so safe to say he will overtake 236

well 237

like legit all of 11th-16th I think will surpass you at 237

besides the guy at 15th place rn

[slow mason]

yeah I need to hope I do well for the last games

[rose depot]

And hope some folks drown

[slow mason]

If only I could get another 5-0

[sullen walrus]

my neighbor is inviting me to a fancy restaurant at Tarvern time today. Should I do queue or go to the restaurant?

[slow mason]

I haven't talked to my neighbor in years so I would say play tavern

[vivid monolith]

[rose depot]

What would Paimon say?

paimon would say go eat

especially if they're paying

actually, it doesn't even matter if it's today because you can just play tomorrow

[cyan zinc]

Go eat

[tropic slate]

aaand first game of the day is the eighth loss

sadge

[rose depot]

18-9 myself

[slow mason]

well I threw the game

surely I can 5-0 tomorrow and make up for it

there are so many small mistakes I make which end up costing me games

[fast frost]

I’m dropping out of this tournament. No way I’m going to win

Especially not when I’ve been sick for most of the week

[rose depot]

at least try and get the 3 wins for the card back 😮

[mortal furnace]

tru

[rose depot]

even if you're unable to get 5 wins and 10 games for the welkin chance

[mortal furnace]

any news on what the card back looks like?

[tropic slate]

uh who do i talk to if I misreported a game outcome

[rose depot]

oh wait ye

i was 17-8 at the start of the day

[ancient spindle]

Contact qixing

#📨contact-qixing

[tropic slate]

got it, thanks!

[tropic slate]

really sorry about that, i've reported it and hopefully the qixing will fix it and give you the win properly

you can also report it for more chance of the issue getting fixed

[rose depot]

yeah no worries, and i submitted as well. thanks for noticing 😮

[fast frost]

I played sixteen matches and won 8

[ancient spindle]

You guys should ask more info about getting strike too

[thorny oyster]

wtf kirano is gaming

[vivid monolith]

whos kirano

[rich wasp]

kirano is insanely good player who is currently 1st on asia, 1st on na, and 2nd on eu

ra no ki = ki ra no

[tropic slate]

what deck is kirano even playing

do we know

[rose depot]

i imagine he switches up multiple ones

[thorny oyster]

itto surely

[tropic slate]

can't be playing all of them with bin

[rose depot]

if you know 100% your opp is prepping BIN

you counterpick it

[tropic slate]

there wouldn't be enough time in the day to play 15 matches of bin

[rose depot]

and considering kirano

has played so many games

idt he can play mostly bin

since bin takes a whle

[thorny oyster]

not if youre kirano

[rose depot]

he didnt play 15 matches of bin btw

he was 44-1

[tropic slate]

5 per region per day

[rose depot]

ye

oh

ye

just end me if i did that

[vivid monolith]

[thorny oyster]

are you runatobio from na prince cup?

[vivid monolith]

[inner dagger]

[rose depot]

are you runatobio?

[crystal tapir]

runatobio 👀

[vivid monolith]

[fiery vault]

bruh why evening queue is so hard now

[barren nacelle]

I was coping hard for 6 rounds, so my chances of the collectible is so low rn

[hybrid whale]

[vivid monolith]

Do you put Mondstadt resonance in that deck

If you had that card you won. I was so scared

[frigid sundial]

[rose perch]

i still dont understand why i didnt get a single card back collector. everyone i faced is in the leaderboard or close to it.

this matchmaking is sus

[hybrid whale]

I got Silver Wolf to rig it for me

[rose perch]

previous seasons there were definitely random people who used random combinations of characters and they eqiup bows or talents but this time it was all spread, bin, monaklee or sc

[barren nacelle]

I did 😭

I dice of cringed and drew so many bad times

I needed wgs and monstadt res to win, but it didn't happen 😔

I'm at a 4:6 win loss right now ._.

I really want the collectible, but I coped for 6 matches cause I thought my 999+ proficiency with diluc and fichl meant something

apparently the counter goes to 999+ instead of going over 1,000

[barren nacelle]

*5:6

[crystal tapir]

how??

so many games!

[barren nacelle]

an unhealthy addiction

[pale marsh]

player should write properly instead of whatever abreviation they think off

[vivid monolith]

😢

[hybrid whale]

I honestly agree

It’s been so hard to read a lot of messages

Like BIN level is fine since it’s pretty widespread by now

[vivid monolith]

What do bin and sc stand for

[hybrid whale]

But abbreviating card names is confusing for someone relatively new

[thorny oyster]

well

you can just ask

[vivid monolith]

Yah like me

Have no idea what they are

[hybrid whale]

BIN = Barbara Itto Noelle
SC = Superconduct

[thorny oyster]

bin is barbara itto noelle

the meta deck from cn

[vivid monolith]

Yeah that’s a t0 deck

[fast frost]

I tried that deck but my skill ensured I always lost with it

[vivid monolith]

Just don’t understand why so many people are playing spread and monaklee. They are really not that strong

[fast frost]

I need to practice way more and have somebody way more experienced tell me what I'm doing wrong.

[crystal tapir]

Bin is fake, zl supremacy!

[vivid monolith]

and what is zl then😵‍💫

[hybrid whale]

I’m not top level but wanna practice match?

[hybrid whale]

Zhongli

[fast frost]

Can't at the moment, unfortunately.

[vivid monolith]

Soga

[hybrid whale]

Okay

[barren nacelle]

I could be wrong, but chongyun, shenhe, and raiden goes pretty hard

[vivid monolith]

You are not wrong

[hybrid whale]

What is spread? Is that different from swirl?

[vivid monolith]

That’s at least t1

[inner dagger]

Because with mona get a free fast action an klee do more damaged with normal dice

[crystal tapir]

No zhongli beats all!

[bold widget]

I still have zhongli geoceanid in my casket of tomes just waiting to see daylight again

[crystal tapir]

He has big shield :)

[fast frost]

That deck was the one that somehow got a comeback victory against me, Chongyun, Shenhe, and Raiden

[inner dagger]

Indeed

[thorny oyster]

chongyun shenhe raiden deck is very good at getting good breakpoint

[pale marsh]

I hate that deck because it makes a 20 min match into a 40 one

[crystal tapir]

Shield bigger than my huge skill issue

[pale marsh]

We really need x2 animation speed

[fast frost]

Only Chongyun was left and my Oceanid, Fischl, and Nahida were still alive but then they had the exact cards they needed to make a comeback

[hybrid whale]

I’m pulling for him next

[thorny oyster]

because with full buff chong deals 5 skill and 10 burst

[barren nacelle]

plus with klee talent you can attack with covenant a second time after mona summon and almost always ftk

[pale marsh]

I Hate BIN

It belongs in bin can

[barren nacelle]

I won against bin 3 times with my cope rainbow, but couldn't in ctg queueing

😔

[thorny oyster]

i think what makes bin games pretty long arent the game itself

it usually ends in r5

or smth

[barren nacelle]

yeah

[thorny oyster]

its the amount of thinking, bin is a pretty hard deck to pilot

[pale marsh]

round dont equalize ral time measure

[thorny oyster]

it doesnt have an exact line

so you have to think optimal ways every turn

therefore longer games

[vivid monolith]

What if your 4 weapons are all in the last ten cards

[inner dagger]

[vivid monolith]

[crystal tapir]

Play more!

[pale marsh]

Was about to win againts it because they have 1 card left in the deck

[frigid sundial]

It's really hard to get info because of it... especially as english not my first language

[pale marsh]

Like jesus, if it takes so much pls considered other deck to use in pemilimares where time matters

[vivid monolith]

I know. It’s first designed by a CN player. But now people in CN tournament just don’t use this deck anymore. It’s just so unstable😨

[pale marsh]

Same

[thorny oyster]

cn is the leader of the meta right now

all our meta decks are just stolen from cn

[crystal tapir]

no, IM the leader of meta

:)

[hybrid whale]

Breaking: Player name “Nyahida” doesn’t use Nahida in tourney

[pale marsh]

shaking my head

[crystal tapir]

i do wdymmmm

nahida xq yae is op

[hybrid whale]

You played BIN against me lol

[crystal tapir]

been winning every game

i rotate decks

[pale marsh]

You did not have Nahida againts me

[fast frost]

Can't understand how some people win every game, despite the luck factor

[crystal tapir]

cuz zl is funni

i trolled too much to get a good score on lb so like

[fast frost]

I think I played them before and they were using Nahida against me

[crystal tapir]

kinda just having fun

[pale marsh]

It was kinda funni

Should change my zhong deck

[hybrid whale]

That’s why we’re not on the leaderboard

[pale marsh]

into a Zhong Dong deck

[crystal tapir]

basically my strat is number the decks and roll a dice

[thorny oyster]

because skill matters

[crystal tapir]

no one can counter me if idk what deck im bringing

[barren nacelle]

I only started my win streak after I gave up on my cope

[rich wasp]

arziir not playing diluc? ayawah

[vivid monolith]

[barren nacelle]

robot wizard SI, I don't even know who I am anymore

[hybrid whale]

That’s a good idea, if I ever get to knockout round I might do that lol

[barren nacelle]

can't wait for irl tcg tournaments

[crystal tapir]

narrrr thats my strat

[fast frost]

I'm going to make sure to practice a lot more before the next tournament

And also find out exactly what I'm doing wrong because I keep losing matches I should have won.

[barren nacelle]

maybe some oversights?

[crystal tapir]

at this point am not even sure how to practice

need to bait top players to fite

but they all busy

[hybrid whale]

Like you

[crystal tapir]

😭

[barren nacelle]

I've only played one deck since patch and a mish mash of others to get the skins, so if anyone has some tips on shenhe, chongyun, raiden, please ping or dm me

[crystal tapir]

basically the deck's breakpoint is at infinite so if you get a hit in they will die

[barren nacelle]

my proud favourites that tell me what I did right with my cope

[crystal tapir]

but make sure you get the hit against someone important

[vivid monolith]

You never ask me😭

[barren nacelle]

will do O7

[crystal tapir]

kathy we should play after wgc watch party :)

[wary heron]

hm

[thorny oyster]

asia random mm

[fast frost]

I'll try to find time to have practice matches soon

[crystal tapir]

asia random mm not scary

[rich wasp]

asia random mm

[wary heron]

asia random mm?

[crystal tapir]

honestly nothing is scary after spamming games with si during pc

[barren nacelle]

I peaked last patch

[crystal tapir]

but si doesnt play tcg with me anymoar...

[rich wasp]

sometimes its copium

[twilit steppe]

LOL you're the better overload user in here

[rich wasp]

but si doesnt play tcg with me anymoar...

[barren nacelle]

hello ryssa

[rich wasp]

im retired deadge

[thorny oyster]

well but you can meet top player in asia random mm

quite often

[wary heron]

skill issue

[thorny oyster]

sure theres also copes

but its mostly the player

[vivid monolith]

mm？

[wary heron]

i usually only meet really cope decks in random mm

[twilit steppe]

Hello Arziir

[vivid monolith]

I hate abbreviation😭

[crystal tapir]

matchmaking

[thorny oyster]

random mathmaking

[wary heron]

random matchmaking

[wary heron]

math

[thorny oyster]

the coop thingy in cats tail

match

[wary heron]

skill issue

[barren nacelle]

wgs is the only reason I win, without it I am nothing

[wary heron]

[crystal tapir]

issok i also hate abbreviations but they are short and less stress on my fingers on kb

[hybrid whale]

FYI mm means money match in the Smash community so I got confused lol

[wary heron]

mm means mirror maiden

[barren nacelle]

mm here is mirror maiden-

I haven't seen mmec in a hot minute?

[vivid monolith]

[crystal tapir]

tomoki whats your record rn btw

[hybrid whale]

20-10

[barren nacelle]

SHEESH

[wary heron]

i'm in trouble

[barren nacelle]

nah

I'M IN TROUBLE

[crystal tapir]

we are all in trouble, the question is how much

[barren nacelle]

just grind for the last few and you'll be goodge

[hybrid whale]

Wdym, you’re safe

Meanwhile I’m outside top 16

[vivid monolith]

5th is in trouble

[hybrid whale]

With only 5 matches left

[vivid monolith]

[hybrid whale]

[crystal tapir]

will get overtaken by every other top player that didnt troll at the beginning

[wary heron]

i can't play much today aswell...

which is going to be bad

i probably will not be able to finish all the matches

[hybrid whale]

Just use an aggro deck

Instead of BIN

[wary heron]

ive never used bin

[hybrid whale]

Good

[wary heron]

matches get too long for me

[vivid monolith]

I’m big bin fan

[wary heron]

i lose my concentration quickly

[crystal tapir]

what is a real aggro deck

[hybrid whale]

Mona Klee?

[crystal tapir]

pree sure mona klee is fake

[vivid monolith]

✅same

[vivid monolith]

✅

[crystal tapir]

says ning player despairge

[vivid monolith]

Never lose when opponents play Mona Klee

[hybrid whale]

What are the meta decks then?

[vivid monolith]

Mona Klee opponent means +10 points

[crystal tapir]

BIN, INA, RIB

[wary heron]

what

do those even

[vivid monolith]

BIN definitely

[wary heron]

mean

[hybrid whale]

How am I supposed to read that lol

[vivid monolith]

Whats INA RIB😵‍💫

[crystal tapir]

its up to the reader's interpretation xD

[thorny oyster]

Barbara Itto Noelle
Itto Noelle Amber ( )
I have no idea wtheck is RIB

[wary heron]

pork ribs

delicious

[vivid monolith]

Barbara is definitely stronger except when BIN vs INA.

[hybrid whale]

So far all the info I’ve gotten is that Itto is busted, which I already knew

[rich wasp]

double ihly woven double cryo res-ed deadge

[barren nacelle]

[rich wasp]

there goes my second loss

[barren nacelle]

I'm at my 6th loss

[crystal tapir]

the only reason why RIB is good is because it beats BIN xD

[barren nacelle]

SI, I really shouldn't have used my cope deck

ALL OF MY LOSSES ARE FROM THAT DECK

I love it, but sheeeesh

[vivid monolith]

How can RobotWizard lose😠

[barren nacelle]

first bin while using sc

SI and RobotWizard are two different entities

[barren nacelle]

RobotWizard never loses

[hybrid whale]

My rank keeps dropping as time passes

[barren nacelle]

never

[vivid monolith]

✅

[barren nacelle]

I'm low-key salting

all of my losses are from my copedge deck

oh well, the cope was the real friends we made along the way(?)

[sullen walrus]

Don't worry, we Kenki coppers cope together .

[deep plank]

Is it possible to do 20+ matches in 4 hrs?
