i might pick up dp bcz of all the buffs it's getting
seriously

[pearl glade]

@hybrid whale sorry for cutting you off, but yeah i love this deck. Its so fun. Would recommend.

[slow heart]

Not dp guide. Just a beginner guide for new player

[gleaming parcel]

Cause I can either pull an All-nighter to participate or I can skip work and risk getting fired and not enough money to pay my bills and that’s not okay.

[hybrid whale]

Damn I finished my bo3 with glamrock freddy and you guys are still chatting in here lol, good to see people are chatting for so long

[thick charm]

but yea something something definition of insanity, you have new ideas to try out and experiment for a change, odds are one of them works out for you and you like playing it

[gleaming parcel]

Lol if you call me having a crisis chatting

[thick charm]

shit man when did the clock hit 1:33 for me

[polar barn]

bro he can't read the contents

[hybrid whale]

Hey I didn't look at what you were chatting about stop making me feel bad ;-;

[gleaming parcel]

I don’t know what to do with myself now

I know y’all said rest but

[thick charm]

and I'll double down on it I think

[gleaming parcel]

Idk. Laying here doing nothing is making me regret my life choices

[thick charm]

you don't have to like, do nothing nothing but like take your mind off a bit and do something else

[hybrid whale]

When that happens to me I just try to sleep

[gleaming parcel]

It’s hard to do something else when my mind is spiraling

[thick charm]

indulge yourself with basically whatever

[gleaming parcel]

And I said I can’t sleep because it’s a waste of my time if I sleep this early

[night token]

Sometimes we need to get off the internet

[gleaming parcel]

I already wasted 5 hours losing when I should have been doing art commissions, but I wanted to win at least once before I signed off and that didn’t happen
So I screwed myself over trying to win with the same or slightly different deck again and again and again and again

[tropic slate]

do not fall to the sunk cost fallacy

just because you've already put time into it, does not make it any more worth it to put more time into it

[gleaming parcel]

but instead all I did was lose
So I wasted 5 hours, and now im depressed with no energy or morale to draw and work on commissions or projects
Which affects my social media influence and presence and makes it harder to get commissions in the future or grow my art portfolio which makes it harder to get into collabs or zines or just be liked by people, idk

[gleaming parcel]

Well to late for that

[cyan zinc]

never too late

just stop now

[gleaming parcel]

I had to stop because the queue ended

But I can’t undo wasting my time on something I was so bad I shouldn’t have even tried

[cyan zinc]

whats wrong with wasting time?

we all waste time

its fine

[gleaming parcel]

But it’s not

Not as an adult when I have things to do

[hybrid whale]

Then what happens to me, I haven't earned a single penny for over 3 years

[night token]

I'm glad I have no bills to pay

[gleaming parcel]

Must be nice, unfortunately I don’t have that luxury

but now it’s 11:15 and if I want 8 hours of sleep in

I

UGH

WHY DID I DO THIS

THIS IS WHY I SAID I COULDNT REST

I SHOUDLNT HAVE SOGNED UO FOR THIS

Ruined my whole Friday night

[hybrid whale]

AoC surprisingly high level today, didn't lose any but all games were pretty close

[polar barn]

imagine playing Aoc

ig it's the only option if u are not in asia bcz Queue times are so long

[night token]

I don't think I would survive the Asia TCG server

It's like swimming w/ sharks

[ancient spindle]

Gitcg shark tank edition

Wait until you know CN tcg server

[night token]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-shark-great-big-shark-nemo-marlin-gif-15283821

[pearl glade]

I for one welcome higher level player base

[rich wasp]

half the asia lb is invaders

[cursive viper]

good job everyone

[pearl glade]

Ive asked around

All the clubs are not accepting new members

[flint marlin]

[pearl glade]

Maybe you can start your own

With blackjack and hookers

[gleaming parcel]

[polar barn]

your best shot is AAAA

I heard they were recruiting members

@ancient spindle

@thorn echo

tf is that name

[muted cairn]

Some of them aren't even actual clans

im in suc but 2fa is my tiny tcg family

spot the fake clan

[flint marlin]

[polar barn]

2FA is more of a freinds group than a clan

some members overlap in these clans

like Binzu is 2FA , TFT and SUC

and GSG is theory crafting group

stands for Google sheets gaming

[muted cairn]

funny enough most of 2fa fam are suc

gsg tho

[polar barn]

~~2FA , GSG are subdivisions of suc surly ~~

this is our lore

[muted cairn]

gsg is the nerdiest/the tcg players who can actually math of suc

[polar barn]

~~im pretty sure SUC is the most organised clan with actual resources and manpower ~~

[muted cairn]

tcg players cant math.. except ppl in gsg

[polar barn]

~~but most people in gsg can only math in sheets not on board ~~

[muted cairn]

better than nothing

[polar barn]

suc is tricky to join
as things stand we can't have new members
and LAB only accepts strong players idk what is there definition of strong
idk about LP

[muted cairn]

LP is jp so idk if it is joinable unless you speak jp

[polar barn]

i think u can

probably

use ~~

there standards is pretty high being a CN clan but im not qualified for that answer

ask @nocturne kestrel

poggies

[night token]

I don't think I'm good enough to join one of the cults

[muted cairn]

make a new one

[nocturne kestrel]

well nomad is joking forget it

LAB is also a friend group in cn gitcg community

[night token]

How many TCG cults are there!?

[nocturne kestrel]

to join LAB u dont need to be very strong but u need to be our close friend first

[night token]

Are there cookies?

[nocturne kestrel]

we share iced tea

[zealous mural]

SUC players are bad

i beat SUC people all the time

[nocturne kestrel]

As the strong players attracts each other, that makes LAB mems looks strong

[zealous mural]

[vivid monolith]

I’m beaten by SUC and lab members all the time

[ancient spindle]

[polar barn]

huh

[zealous mural]

and u know it

[polar barn]

pitashake

[zealous mural]

i love beating myself up 🥹

[polar barn]

😠

?ban runatobi

[vivid monolith]

im banned

[polar barn]

[ancient spindle]

im not the leader ask AAA|AAAAAAAA for joining

[polar barn]

I'm not

i only say truth

[ancient spindle]

truth? but you lie to me recently

[nocturne kestrel]

[polar barn]

me no lie
: pitashake

[ancient spindle]

Zenin and i caught you red handed

no excuses

[nocturne kestrel]

joking or lying choose one

[ancient spindle]

[nocturne kestrel]

it cannot be truth mate

[thorn echo]

AAA always welcome new members!

[ancient spindle]

Oof leader is here

time to bail

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1005546181763543051.gif?size=48&quality=lossless

[nocturne kestrel]

thinking about a clan match after CTG

[ancient spindle]

SUC is always ready for Clan battle

except when Ark is busy

which is rn i guess

[polar barn]

we already have TFT vs SUC on our schedule
We won't mind with LAB

[vivid monolith]

Can I be LABSUCAAA RunaTobio

[thorn echo]

Yes yes

[polar barn]

tf is your name

remove some AAAs

[thorn echo]

how? i am borned this way

its in my certificate of birth 😥

[polar barn]

whenever u type
it fills my entire screen

[thorn echo]

that sounds like a you problem 🤔

[polar barn]

who is the leader

or one who organises stuff for lab

[nocturne kestrel]

well if u would like to have one i can be in charge

[polar barn]

depends on when ark is not busy

in 4.2 probably

[pearl glade]

[flint marlin]

[thorny oyster]

how many lab members are there

[pearl glade]

Triple A coffee

[nocturne kestrel]

around 10 i guess

some of them have already been on lb but too shy to show their brand

[polar barn]

[ancient spindle]

thats non SUC included right ?

[polar barn]

~~jk this number is highly inflated , it also includes bots , guests, alt accounts of same users ~~

original number is close to 30

[thorny oyster]

and retired players

[thorny oyster]

like liliba?

[thorny oyster]

i think for competent players the numbers are closer to 15-20

[zealous mural]

q for free win

[polar barn]

wait

liliba who ?

[eternal musk]

[twilit steppe]

[zealous mural]

u can try

[twilit steppe]

I would be the one giving you free win honestly..

[keen fable]

Question, I registered as rank 9. In order to invite more characters though (and stand a chance at just 3 wins) I would have to get to rank 10.

Am I allowed to rank up before my first match or during the tournament at all, or does that disqualify me since I would no longer be the rank I registered at

[knotty rock]

I have the same question honestly

[tropic slate]

You canrank up

If you were telling the truth at the time you registered then it's fine

[nocturne kestrel]

[slow heart]

@gleaming parcel I found this guide that help deckbuilding and has some beginners tips in it as well. It has many concept within it that I know can help you improve your understanding of the game, so that you can continue playing the characters you love and build a efficient deck at the same time. I hope this guide will be of great help to you and have a nice day! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1niUI3hWhP9oUKv-rk9qdeFKWWb9jiAFu3idbKcmT_e8/edit?usp=sharing

[polar barn]

omg lieil so helpful

qxt should invade NA next time to fite u

[slow mason]

do you really want to play against dp

[polar barn]

oh

despairage

it's ok

i mostly play stall breakers

[thick charm]

right so I said I'd try din on the weekend but I actually didn't do it yesterday. My excuse is that I have 2 hours of downtime between work and queuing but now I have 5 to experiment

is there like a notable change I should do to a usual bin deck or something

[slow heart]

You should always play din over bin since din beat bin

[thick charm]

lmao why does it look like this

[pearl glade]

[gleaming parcel]

Queue isn’t notifying me when I have a match

So rip mobile genshin players

[dim ginkgo]

how's everyone's games so far

[slow mason]

I am dead

[thick charm]

I hit a 50% winrate somehow, care to ruin it?

[dim ginkgo]

I got a 57% wr

[twilit steppe]

...One of my opponent used Pyro Res + Leave it to Me on an important character in first round and I somehow still won

[night token]

These Shenhe SC are really tough

[twilit steppe]

Yeah... I often lost using them but when others used it, I would be the one losing

[night token]

I messed up my plays

when facing that deck

[twilit steppe]

Me too

[storm pier]

not me and my 20% win rate

[night token]

But it was an interesting experience

[storm pier]

shenhe is terrifying

I see a shenhe player and I am resigned to my loss at this point

[night token]

My biggest regret when facing the Shenhe SC is not using Klee and the Fatui to threaten them

[slow heart]

shenhe with anemo is eh but shenhe with raiden and chong tho

[sullen walrus]

Shenhe with itto

is better than Shenhe with Anemo

[hybrid whale]

Why do I have to get the worst dice and cards against one of the best players here

[dim ginkgo]

mood

[hybrid whale]

And now I'm up against Ting

Wtf is this bullying

[thick charm]

obviously 'cause the universe wants to see you not just lose, but humilliate yourself

[hybrid whale]

What did I do to deserve this

[fathom fog]

Trying to survive from my 0/6 start

[dim ginkgo]

💀

[stiff crypt]

Really?

[thick charm]

woo am back to being below average

[slow mason]

I wonder how people feel when they lose to my diona

[hybrid whale]

I don't know how I did it but I won against Ting

[thick charm]

i can tell you im amazed

[slow mason]

is it refreshing from the meta or annoying to lose to cope

[dim ginkgo]

congrats

[thick charm]

unseen catto tech

oh right Heated Battle

the game is encouraging me to bully randos with noelle

or I could use this chance to build decks for the elements I'm missing hmm

[zealous mural]

this meta is stupid its so luck based

[slow heart]

aec :

[zealous mural]

shenhe sc vs din

[night token]

I'm still betting Hoyoverse will try to nerf Shenhe SC

[slow heart]

Shenhe sc is ok

[dim ginkgo]

din Madge

[thick charm]

nerf millelith

[ancient spindle]

millelith is fine

nerf Oceanid Itto and Shenhe will do

[hybrid whale]

Nerf how many charges you can save on Itto and all would be good, 3 is way too much considering he can renew it during burst

[thick charm]

alright fine, remove millelith from the game

[slow heart]

totm is fine don't touch it

[fathom fog]

Oh no diona @slow mason

[slow mason]

meh

I dont use it

lieil would suffer more than me

[thick charm]

millelith is unironically the only part of my deck im ashamed in using

[slow heart]

[thick charm]

but im gonna use it until mhy nukes it

[slow mason]

any hit to itto I would appreciate

[dim ginkgo]

1000% agree

[thick charm]

if noelle gets hit as a collateral so be it, just delet that artifact

[slow heart]

just reduce itto's max hp by 2

[dim ginkgo]

[pearl glade]

70% of the game i lost cus dice cringe

[ancient spindle]

samege

or bc of Itto 2 totm + 1 bell r2

[pearl glade]

This was good for me

Wanderer whips out damage while they can’t do much against it

Cus they spent dice equipping

[night token]

I got extremely hard players and my cards were shit

Some cards where I need them the most just never came

Also the frog didn't love me

[slow mason]

should have prayed more to

[night token]

Hopefully the frog won't noticed to how many I sacrificed to make potions right?

[slow mason]

[twilit steppe]

5-2 today which is not bad compared to days where I would get 4 losses a day
I feel like I need to play better on those two matches I lost to I mean they both are good players but I also misplayed hard at crucial moments I think

[thick charm]

guys look how cute she is

[hybrid whale]

I need to rebuild my deck cause a lot of the time I’m not getting the cards I need at the right time, hopefully that’ll increase my consistency enough to slide into top 16

[pearl glade]

Are you Noelle main?

[pearl glade]

I notice you may need to rearrange your character as well

[sullen walrus]

She is a noelle main because she double equip noelle in DIN before itto

[pearl glade]

Based

So based

[hybrid whale]

We’ll see

[thick charm]

look man I don't hate Itto, in fact I like him

but I'll never pull for him because his weapon banner happens to have Noelle's best weapon

that said I'd be even happier maining Noelle

if slumbering court gave me actual artifacts

how many years has it been

and it still can't surpass my gladiator set

[hybrid whale]

Unless I get real lucky or I run out of chars I want to pull I’ll prob never get engulfing for my Ei…

[thick charm]

well if I pull a weapon, half of that decision is fueled by drip

[pearl glade]

I hate Noelle’s weapon

The butter bar

She’s better off with wolf gravestone

[thick charm]

see, they look so nice with their signature weapons

[dim ginkgo]

zhongli 💀

[thick charm]

?? unforged?? I mean I did pull for it when it was the best thing she had but I mean, Redhorn Stonetresher exists

[hybrid whale]

Honestly I don’t hate the catch on ei but engulfing def looks better on her

[thick charm]

there's very few weapons in this game that look outright bad honestly

[hybrid whale]

I hate Toukabou Shigure, it would’ve been better as a Claymore tbh

[thick charm]

if there's one I don't like though

[hybrid whale]

Wtf is this

[thick charm]

Bloodtainted Greatsword

[hybrid whale]

Never used it before, is it good on any char?

[dim ginkgo]

it's a 3 star

[thick charm]

I mean it's EM substat, surely you can find use for it

but you also probably have a Painslasher collecting dust

[hybrid whale]

lol that explains it

[polar barn]

that's not true

there's also matchups

rock paper scissors

than misplays

and bad decisions regarding lines we chose

[rich wasp]

“70% of games i would have won if i had gotten better dice”

is an accurate statement

doesn’t mean there weren’t a lot of other factors and you could have won the game in different ways

there’s also always like 20% of games that are unwinnable and you deal with it variance

[polar barn]

learn to cope with bad dice

[nocturne kestrel]

if i got the perfect dices i prefer to play nec or ganyu instead of DIN

[polar barn]

frfr

[twilit steppe]

This is me almost every time, along with chosing the wrong lines

[polar barn]

i lost to rock paper scissors more than actual loses

queued counters only to backfire

i did not had many "lost due to dice moments"

maybe 1-2

either skill issue

or gambling matchups

[nocturne kestrel]

“99% of games i would have won if i had gotten better hands”

[hybrid whale]

Says the person with only 2 losses

[dim ginkgo]

oop 💀

[rich wasp]

variance

[arctic valve]

btw a question, every person on the leaderboard that shows up as numbers, are asian invaders?

[rich wasp]

no

discord.id

discord.id is a link

[arctic valve]

oh

[polar barn]

who is 6th

[night token]

Probably a CN player who invaded the server

[polar barn]

not necessarily
bcz some RU players and others also have CN name

like monfdie

is actually maks from RU in EU lb

or yukimuu is also not CN

[rich wasp]

by my count its
8 NA
2 EU
3 AS
3 ???

[rugged bluff]

ah yes only 7 or 8 NA players on NA leaderboard, seems about right

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1086346145095237652.webp?size=48&name=yaethunk&quality=lossless

unlucky that i prolly won't be able to make top 16 again this season

i'm just gonna try my best to beat as many pro players as possible

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/695340290201878671.webp?size=48&name=asdf&quality=lossless

[night token]

I only managed to beat one of the top 16, the rest kicked my ass

[pearl glade]

Who was it

[night token]

#10

[rugged bluff]

pro players are so consistent !!

those who are on the leaderboard are consistent too

[night token]

I think the top 16 are either desperate to pay their bills and/or saving those primos for their future pulls

[polar barn]

no

we just like playing the game

it's that simple

most of the tcg players don't play main game

as for the bills
there are better things to do in life if it's just about money

[night token]

I'm only half serious

[polar barn]

understandable

[night token]

I'm sure many players here are very passionate about TCG

[rose perch]

I need the card back for my collection but they gated it behind a prince cup that never happens

[night token]

"It's very cool." -Cyno 2023

[median oak]

how far up the ladder/how many wins do I need to get the card back?

Ive been busy all week and only got a few matches in

[muted cairn]

3 wins

[median oak]

cool I'll at least get the card back

[arctic valve]

dont worry, if its your first time on cats tail you'll realize what a sandbag feels on a box gym

but next ones you improve

[median oak]

I had a deck that was very good back when the game first came out its a sucrose based swap and swirl deck that was a control deck and grinded out value while stalling my opponents, however I never really kept up with the game after the first season nor did I take part in the tournament but I figured I'd give it a shot this time and I learned that the hard way how the game has changed lol

now I built an anti insta death deck that is solely built to stop the 1 turn team wipe schenenagins

[cyan zinc]

he is NA

[polar barn]

oh

[cyan zinc]

i dont see a single cn invader in america lb

[rugged bluff]

i just got paired with kamisama rn, there should be one soon 👀

[zealous mural]

im getting kicked out of NA soon it seems

[rugged bluff]

yoo i beat kamisama wooo 🥳

[zealous mural]

whose the third asia player hmm

other then me and kokoro

maybe si is already an as player

[eternal musk]

Time to play 30 games in a row

[arctic valve]

gogogo

[zealous mural]

im gonna get kicked out 🥹

i promise i will destroy every single one of u

[frigid sundial]

[twilit steppe]

That Klee is me fighting you

[safe plaza]

Epic names

Let's go SI

[thorny oyster]

[rich wasp]

lost to kirano

[pearl glade]

🙀

[gleaming parcel]

Lost every single game I’ve played so I’m depressed when I think of tcg

[lucid sable]

Me being so busy end of week and forgetting tavern existed

;-; 13/35 done goodness

[night token]

Just need 5 more matches to go and I'm free!

[dim ginkgo]

wooo

[hybrid whale]

I feel you, there’s no way I’m finishing my matches before people on leaderboard so all I can do is pray I can get more wins than them

[solar aspen]

Hello, everyone! So today is the last day for this, right? :3

[twilit steppe]

Yes 🤓👍

[night token]

Yeah

[lucid sable]

I'm just giving up :(

[solar aspen]

Good luck everyone!

[night token]

I'm too lazy to run Genshin on PC so I'll just go mobile

[gleaming parcel]

That makes me sad. I didn’t know when the event started because this server doesn’t give notifs and information is hard to find

The time windows to participate are also too constrictive with a working schedule

I wanted to participate more but it’s hard

like yeah, queue is starting now but I work in an hour.

It’s also not friendly to mobile players

[slow heart]

Isn't the last time slot for na the morning queue tomorrow?

[tropic slate]

correct

and this evening queue is the second-last

[twilit steppe]

Omg I genuinely didn't know

[thick charm]

I think it still doesn't work for Coryn

[slow heart]

the morning queue tomorrow will be fill with invaders

[thick charm]

anyway time to finish up my matches and then do abyss

because I want peak anxiety

[slow heart]

I am just playing for fun at this point

[thick charm]

I hope I get more rewards than last season, otherwise it means I got worse :P

need 35 more primos

[slow heart]

I am getting less primo compare to last season

[thick charm]

need two more wins to have the same amount of primos

[slow heart]

then again I have been trolling around this a lot this time

[gleaming parcel]

I realistically can’t do the morning slot because it’s 6am to 10am and I will be asleep because I work evenings and that’s when I need to rest

If I play at 6am it’s because I’m pulling an All nighter

If I don’t sleep until 3am, yay, that’s less than 3 hours of sleep

The only way I can reasonably play today is if I play while I’m driving

not that it matters if I can play or not because I’m still failing horrible but hey you never know

But it’s been established that playing tcg for 5 hours straight and losing every single match is not productive to my mental health

So 🤷‍♀️

[thick charm]

I hope next time you get better opportunities to play if you decide to try again next season with more practice under your wing

[gleaming parcel]

I feel like if I play in another tournament I’m going to lose every game again unless I get characters I hate like raiden and hutao

[slow heart]

No

playing non meta decks can also work

[thick charm]

yea

[slow heart]

and raiden hutao aren't that good

[thick charm]

leoric literally tore me a new one with literally diona

[slow heart]

with the exception of shenhe sc

[thick charm]

and I'm using the filithiest meta deck lol

[gleaming parcel]

Well I just got defeated in 3 rounds wigg the a raiden Xingqiu hutao team

[twilit steppe]

Well it can defeat stupid BIN players (me )

[thick charm]

also fwiw I haven't seen a single hu tao since season 4

[slow heart]

I am playing a fun deck that have no meta char

[twilit steppe]

Is that d*eath penalty

[gleaming parcel]

It’s also unlikely if my work schedule stays the same and the queue schedules stay the same

[twilit steppe]

Idk what I even censor my bad

[gleaming parcel]

I’ve seen like 5

[thick charm]

and also the matchmaking thing, even if you lose games like your life depended on it, eventually you're gonna pull out a win I hope?

and also yea honestly it'd be nice if they opened more queuing slots

[gleaming parcel]

You’d think

[thick charm]

but if they didn't in season 4, when Paimon was like actively slacking off and making people miss out on two queues

then I think they just won't, period :/

[gleaming parcel]

Lol how dare I have a working job and want to win primos

How dare I be an adult and play genshin

[thick charm]

i think entering for the sake of primogems is not a really good idea, opening a couple chests pays off as much as a win lol without having to get smacked around by other players

the card back is uhhh, 8% winrate and you get it so it's more of a test of character

[gleaming parcel]

But what do you do when you’ve found all the chests

[thick charm]

💳

tbf I've been slacking off in exploration

[gleaming parcel]

yeah I have bills to pay so I really can’t spend that much money in genshin

Having a head injury and owing 1500+$ in medical bills while living in the us sucks.

[night token]

I have a quick question: If someone concedes and wanted to report it immediately despite no conclusion yet do you cancel?

[thick charm]

idk actually, I confirm the results because I technically did win and then report 'cause im a lil beach

[gleaming parcel]

Yeah, most of my areas are 100% or really close to it

I haven’t fully done the chasm just because I can’t understand the layers and map

[thick charm]

for the record, if you're a completionist I'm sure you've already noticed but 100% doesn't mean you collected literally everything, you can still find a few extra chests

[gleaming parcel]

But I’m still above 95

Yes I’m aware

[thick charm]

that said I'm like pretty sure I combed Mondstadt clean

and I never got 5 copies of the White Iron Greatsword

it's been bothering me since 1.6 :(

and I can guarantee you that I'm not the kind of person to fodder goods without at least maxing a single copy of them

Dorman Port when

[gleaming parcel]

But the reason I joined was for the primos

I’ll get 5.

[thick charm]

you got a win after all?

[gleaming parcel]

I got 1 on Friday , yeah, but it was still a rough match

[thick charm]

[gleaming parcel]

idk, i still lost like 15 games

[thick charm]

that's okay, I'm still proud of you

pat pat

[gleaming parcel]

I’m not

[twilit steppe]

Wow they need to stop matching me with good players?

[night token]

This season, the worst players I got were the ones that don't follow the rules

[thick charm]

I got like 3 conceded matches

[twilit steppe]

Oh that sucks.. I only met one of them once and I am still salty haha. Hopefully you will never meet them again in future

[night token]

I'm the type who rather plays fairly

[gleaming parcel]

Wdym not following the rules?

[night token]

Conceding, trolling, attempting to fudge the results

[gleaming parcel]

Oh, I didn’t have any of that

I had to cancel one game but it’s because I misjudged how much time I had to play

but I at least stuck through the games I was losing

[pearl glade]

You got 100% completion in all regions?

:0

[gleaming parcel]

Pretty close to it, yeah

[pearl glade]

Dayum

I only got 100% in one mindstadt area

[twilit steppe]

I used to be annoying completionist before Sumeru release but now I just stopped caring I have one area only 39% explored I think

[gleaming parcel]

The only places that I don’t have at 100% are the ones hard to explore lol

[twilit steppe]

Is Sumeru easy to explore if I may ask? I only have 3 area with 100% completion and I never bothered with the rest

[gleaming parcel]

Once they added the underground maps it became a lot easier

But I’m the type of player who regularly runs towards any chest or puzzle I see

treasure magnets are also a blessing

[pearl glade]

Do they have underground maps for chasm

[gleaming parcel]

No

[pearl glade]

Brun

[gleaming parcel]

I know

Also gtg, work time

Have fun

[ancient spindle]

well i do YT all chests guide for chasm

works for every region

[pearl glade]

Hi darkshine

Play NA tavern today

[ancient spindle]

hi freddy

i'll play AS today

[pearl glade]

[thick charm]

I mean the Chasm was the og underground

and it's its own separate area

so it's got a map

that isn't an underground map

[jaunty wagon]

Done with my games and that's the end of my first season, got absolutely destroyed the second half of the week, but it was fun!
It's amazing the level diference compared to the arena

[dim ginkgo]

👏

[thick charm]

what is karma

[dim ginkgo]

Booooo itto

[night token]

My losing streak is soo shit

[twilit steppe]

Oh yeah personally I feel like this is the hardest CTG I have participated in. The one I did for Asia Prince Cup qualification doesn't feel this hard

[night token]

So is my luck

[tropic slate]

god I hate sunday queue

lost more today than any other time this week

[pearl glade]

sunday is fun day

[tropic slate]

I'm assuming based on last season that 9 losses is too much to make top 16

but I guess we'll see

I ran into two itto decks which delayed me enough I couldn't even be the first with my score ;_;

[night token]

My luck is still shit

[hybrid whale]

Same

Pretty sure it's joever for me but might as well keep playing I guess

[fathom fog]

I’m still hate the tiebreaks who end first cuz always I can’t play Sunday’s

[night token]

These Shenhe SC players really can't play other than that deck

[tropic slate]

guilty as charged

i've not played anything else in a month

[night token]

It's like tasting the same food until you ended up hating it

and then either vomit it out and never eat it again

[thick charm]

man

am I going to get worse results than last season

'cause I sure as hell haven't secured the same result yet

[night token]

When the GI survery comes, I bet that players will be complaining to Hoyoverse to nerf Shenhe EC

[pearl glade]

shenhe ec isnt op nor imba

[night token]

It's Hoyoverse's game so they can do whatever they want if they see fit

[pearl glade]

yeah true but for devs to change something in a game it has to be for compelling reason

[night token]

Like adding shoulders to Ningguang's back

[pearl glade]

is that not a thing?

[twilit steppe]

Not me, I play multiple other decks too. No comment for my skill though

[night token]

I'm guilty for Shenhe SC, but I also play other decks as well to change the flavor

[pearl glade]

mmm flavor

[thick charm]

i have not improved nor worsened

these are the usage statistics that I came across with

wait no I didn't order them durr

there we go

[slow mason]

only 57% win rate for me

at least I got a pull this time

[night token]

Mines is slightly less

But oh well more primos for me!

https://tenor.com/view/genshin-gold-genshin-wish-genshin-wishing-genshin-fate-genshin5star-gif-24554140

When it comes to weapon banners, I rarely had to use two fate points just to get the weapon I want

[twilit steppe]

My win rate is like 51.4% I think..

[slow mason]

birdy teach us your ways

[pearl glade]

fight him

[tropic slate]

my ways

I'm honestly curious how my character appearances stack up against Angela's

[slow mason]

wow

[tropic slate]

oh we've fought many times, I respect leoric a lot for sticking with diona, it's the only thing holding him back from true greatness

[pearl glade]

damn... doxxed

[night token]

I recognized some of the players I've dueled against

[tropic slate]

also, respect to the matchmaking

not a single match was easy in this entire run

it's much improved since seasons past

[pearl glade]

my ways

my ways

o

[twilit steppe]

"- Proxy ( :: KevinZ) - Dehya / Noelle / Itto (loss cause: skill issue)" omg same

Uh sorry for the ping

[tropic slate]

kevinz is one of the top 5 players I know of worldwide

so like there's really not much I could have done

I couldn't identify any bad plays I made

[dim ginkgo]

wow im in there pog

[tropic slate]

just that there were plays that could have been better

[twilit steppe]

Oh that's me in the first match as for second match I think my misplays are kind of obvious haha

[night token]

Mine is mostly luck issue

[twilit steppe]

Oh yeah I feel similarly to this. I swear almost everyone I fought are much better than me it's somehow harder than CTG S3 Asia

[quasi mango]

[thick charm]

whoa look guys i got my rewards for the season right away

[pale blaze]

omg slay !

[summer berry]

I'm certain the floor for NA will be much lower

Compared to last season

same with EU

[frigid sundial]

I think this season is hardest season so far... everyone is losing a lot

[twilit steppe]

Yeah I feel the same too...

[pale blaze]

is this the hardesr ?? im doinf better than last time

but i also only did 10 matches over the weekdays

[twilit steppe]

Personally I feel like this is the hardest. If you do better than the last I think you have amazing improvements haha

[pale blaze]

oh

thanks

(i didnt play much this patch)

[night token]

Same here

I also thought this season has gone on full merciless mode

[hybrid whale]

It’s over for me, I started too late in the week and my brain’s shut off after playing like 10 games against top players today

[pearl glade]

@twilit steppe snipe me for free wins

(Im on experiment mode)

[twilit steppe]

I already have 18 wins 17 losses aka I have finished

[pearl glade]

You pass the tournament

50 > win rate = passing

[dim ginkgo]

not in school it doesn't

[twilit steppe]

Oh yay (<- coping)

[slow mason]

50 isnt passing

in school 79 isnt passing

[pearl glade]

Huh even that isn’t true

[livid remnant]

Is losing 9 matches in 35 a guarantee in entering top 16?

[dim ginkgo]

seems like it

[tropic slate]

hopefully

[pale blaze]

as of right now it’s a potential

[slow mason]

I wouldn't say a guarantee

But probably

[tropic slate]

but Connect, you are already 27-5

you can't do worse than 8 losses, so you're practically guaranteed

and you have 45 minutes to queue 3 more games

plus the morning queue

[twilit steppe]

I think that's pretty low losses compared to some others (?) so yeah you will probably enter knockouts

[hybrid whale]

I thought I had a shot but kami beat me 2 times in a row

[pale blaze]

im at 29 matches rn, is it possible to finish them all witjin this time queue thing ?

[slow mason]

It's possible

[hybrid whale]

Probably most you can get in is like 4

Unless you play a super aggressive deck

[pale blaze]

klee mona agent !!!

[twilit steppe]

Beware of stall-ish decks though

[hybrid whale]

Well then just pray noone goes din or bin against you lol

[pale blaze]

the 10 dins ive faced to far

[slow mason]

Din is actually not a really stally deck

[pale blaze]

i was playing mnec so each match took around 15 mins

[twilit steppe]

I feel like Mona Klee would be having tough time defeating that though

[pale blaze]

yeah matchup wise too

[pearl glade]

I think High schools can pass you with a D-

[livid remnant]

yes, so i am enjoying some fun deck

[pearl glade]

@twilit steppe yeah I shouldn’t have played today

Too exhausted from last night

Time to rest

@thick charm

Noelle card

[thick charm]

gib

[pale blaze]

i am 17th. at least i still have 3 matches left

[hybrid whale]

Glad to have helped you get some wins

[pale blaze]

OH

hi

gg

also thanks ! (i think)

[tropic slate]

you can do it!

[pale blaze]

ty

unfortunately this also means im gonna be tired while playing

[frigid sundial]

15th is so scary

Still have 2 more games to go but still big scary

[pale blaze]

ouch

good luck !

[frigid sundial]

Thanks you too

[night token]

🍰

[pale blaze]

i think i need to 3-0 in order to get top 16

[plucky dirge]

I think i was good for a mere LATAM Prince Cup Caster

hire me again Hoyo! PLS!

[eternal musk]

[hollow spoke]

[tropic slate]

I really respect casters who actually play and are knowledgeable about the game

I hope you get hired again too

[plucky dirge]

I respect you even more for beating me twice and still saying these super nice words

[fathom fog]

I need 4 more tomorrow 😮‍💨

[dim ginkgo]

good luck!

[pale blaze]

ty !

[safe plaza]

POG

LATAM CASTER LET'S GOOOOOO

[plucky dirge]

Lia! NA Caster? LET'S GOOO! :DDD

[subtle ibex]

both of you better be back on when prince cup happens next year!! (hopefullyyy -) or maybe host one of our seasons if that's in the cards

[arctic valve]

I'll be honest, i didnt liked the LATAM showcasters, the lack of knowledge about the decks and strategies was very noticeable, and sometimes looked like people that only read the cards one time (specially the girl).

Hope both can improve on that matter in the case hoyoverse hire you again for a (possible) future prince cup.

[livid remnant]

I like your straightfowardness though I haven't watched it and not sure about the case

[eternal musk]

Yami was pt caster

[gleaming parcel]

Lol how is raiden not seen as meta when she has so many users

[pearl glade]

No such thing as meta character imo

Meta decks yeah

[rich wasp]

raiden is used in only 1 deck and is super replaceable in that deck

[gleaming parcel]

I’ve seen her in dozens of decks

[rich wasp]

1.5 meta decks i should say

[gleaming parcel]

Literally almost everyone I’ve played has her

[rich wasp]

and in both decks shes just there to be a summon bot

so yeah a lot of the time people prefer fischl / yae

[gleaming parcel]

how would a Yae / Tighnari deck work 👀

Hypothetically speaking

[rich wasp]

yae tighnari was top of the meta in 3.7 but fell a bit out of favor, but its still a very strong rogue deck

the rotation is r1, yae skill, swap tighnari, tighnari skill

and then r2 tighnari NA, burst

[gleaming parcel]

How would one build a deck around them

[rich wasp]

uhm one second

[gleaming parcel]

Who would their 3rd character be

[slow mason]

itto

[gleaming parcel]

Uhhhh

[rich wasp]

uhm its outdated nvm

the third char normally is any dendro char

electro works though

[gleaming parcel]

[slow mason]

good times

[arctic valve]

good ol' times

[pearl glade]

hmm id argue raiden might not really be replaceable imo

[rich wasp]

an updated list runs kings squire

[pearl glade]

just because of her ult

like what if you cant e r1 for example

[rich wasp]

having her ult as a backup plan is what makes her the most popular option in that deck

yeah

[slow mason]

her burst is not really necessary

[rich wasp]

there was a deck floating around last patch that was

ayaka yae shenhe

same idea

[pearl glade]

i remember vincristine replaced chong with ayaka this tournament

[rich wasp]

but you ran inazuma res and the legend of vanessa

[pearl glade]

was nice change of pace

from the typical shenhe sc

[rich wasp]

they dont have a 10 dmg nuke

but you get the much stronger resonance

so eh

[pearl glade]

@tropic slate do you still keep around emblem this season?

[night token]

https://tenor.com/view/baal-raiden-shogun-electro-archon-genshin-impact-burst-gif-22453979

[tropic slate]

emblem? I don't play emblem

I did once for a league ruleset where adeptus was effectively banned

[pearl glade]

o

[tropic slate]

and gambler was too, so there was no better alternative

[pearl glade]

i remember you used emblem in our match once

[tropic slate]

probably practicing for a league match with scuffed shenhe sc

[gleaming parcel]

I can 10+ damage with cyno

[pearl glade]

ic

[gleaming parcel]

But I don’t want to use raiden for anything

Ever

Won’t even pull for her in main game

Why does some people have 35 win with 269 points and other is 260?

[zealous mural]

FINALLY DONE

WOOHOO

Sometimes during queue time, I can almost sense who's a Shenhe SC w/o out even asking

[timber crow]

wait does anyone know if I NEED to hit the quota to get the rewards?
I kinda let it build up and I don't have the time to finish them all I think

[knotty rock]

I don't think so. Only 3 wins for the cardback afaik

[brisk shadow]

u get the rewards regardless of how many games you played (minimum 3 wins for cardback)

This is actually already so much better than the very first tournament omg that one was such a mess

[woven mulch]

I wasn't around for the first one, but props to them for improving over time. I'm sure they'll ask for feedback after this tournament

[twilit steppe]

Yeah I agree about them improving over time, I can clearly feel those improvements haha

[nocturne kestrel]

i didn't see his name on Asia LB which one is Crimlet

[summer berry]

He has a reported match so once they verify the matches he should be high 269

[nocturne kestrel]

true

[summer berry]

I think at least

[nocturne kestrel]

when did he finish the 2nd last game?

if he finished it later than sherry i don't think he can get into top16

[summer berry]

Might have been before glass

[nocturne kestrel]

[pine heron]

[gleaming parcel]

Maybe, but athe queue times don’t work with my work schedule.

guys, do you know how many player there were in s5?

[pearl glade]

Which region

[plucky dirge]

America

but i'm curious about all region

[slow mason]

about 950 or something

SI had a rank around that number on his asia account with one loss

[placid basin]

Umm so do we get the card back soon?

[thick charm]

Soon™️

[placid basin]

Lol they said October and there's less than a week left lmao

[short fog]

i kinda forgot abt this and havent done any battles...
i assume that means im disqualified?

[gleaming parcel]

Idk if your dqued but the event ended

I personally was only able to do like 15 battles

Im not sure how the knockout rounds work

[brisk shadow]

Knockout is only for top 16, they play a Bo3 per day and whoever wins moves on to top 8 until one player is champion

[gleaming parcel]

Ah gotchu

[short fog]

Ohh ok

I wouldn't have gotten to top 16 even if I did play lol

[placid basin]

I am once again asking about the card back 😭 we have an eta?

[dim ginkgo]

after s5 ends

[weak grail]

some time in october hopefully
