i have a question about the /gicancel command
we can only report players using this command right? since /gireport was taken out a few patches ago?
what would TOs recommend we do if we have to report repeatedly?
if we should be using another method to report players, i think it's important the FAQ is updated with the proper guidelines, because this still recommends /gicancel - but using /gicancel will implement a dodge timer

And at least You have to win 27 times to pass the knockout
this isn't guaranteed. Normally it's around 27 wins in NA but depending on how many entrants there are or how unlucky the top players get, it could be lower or higher. It's the top 16 players overall.

definitely not a psychopath thing to take down statistics
that said, if you're not already, I recommend keeping track of which opponent's you've faced and which decks they used
people tend to use the same deck over and over, and if you run into the same person again you can try to counterpick them

use Duel Replay function to show the match result, upload the pic in the room, then use /gicancel and choose the reason of opponent not confirming match, and let the CTG Mods handle the rest

Don’t have that kind of mindset
People play meta decks made by other players too
Why did Shenhe sc exist?
Why did Bin/Din exist?
Because people created them
steep pendant
It's not meta like that, it's really far out
But I get that, and I know I sounded silly lol
I just remembered facing that person and then they suddenly started using my deck
I am sensitive to that because of something that happened a while ago
But sorry it sounds silly
muted cairn
take that as compliment, srsly., if ppl copy your deck, it is either cuz it is good or fun
or else why?
eternal musk
Right now there are 29260 unique combinations of 3 characters. Although it seems like a lot, it is very likely that other people have already had the same idea as you somewhere in the world.
However, this is just the basis, how you build the deck and how you play also matter.
steep pendant
I mean I'd be happy about that, but I saw the same person I beat start to use my deck. But I understand it's a good thing it was cool enough for them to want, I just was so proud of how I suited it to my style and loved how original it was... And then someone just uprooted that. Like I said, it sounds super dumb, I just had some things revolving around it
Anyway, thanks everyone. It's something I obviously need to get over, so I appreciate all the opinions and advice

Think of it as them saying “wow this player is so good with their deck and I want to try and play like them too”, yes they are using a similar deck as yours but that doesn’t mean they will have the same exact support cards or playstyle.
And also
Think of the players who invented the meta decks we all use now
Are they mad that we are copying and using them?
Probably not
They don’t even care
steep pendant
I'm weird like that so I'd be sad lmao
But thanks, I understand
thick charm
also unlikely to be a 1:1 copy of your deck too
even if you decked out, surely you must've done some tuning during the match right

the floor for all regions is 7-8 losses i guess
