but dang this tourney
Very not highrolly
its either super highroll meta or the matchmaking is killing every top player with other top players
cutoff is 13-7 rn
It’s the highroll for sure
previously its like 28-7
Real
nah man my matching is cursed bruh
tbf that only means its functioning properly
*for me
Trueee gimme free wins 
Hopefully this is true even after the 2nd window so that I can still stay on the leaderboard even temporarily (super kopium)
ohnyo matchmaking killed you too
I don't understand tho why matchmaking is even a thing
wasnt you like 10-1 at some point
Why would you let the higher up players at eachother instead of just randomly letting it roll
Yes
Well I did awfully yesterday for various reasons
it would make more sense if its by elo or smt
but rn its kinda like semi swiss where players dont have the same amount of games
also they are refusing to share te inner workings of the system
From a competetive aspect it doesn't make sense to have matchmaking system
in some way it does in some way it doesnt
It just makes life harder for top 16 contestants
I'm kind of confused with how the matchmaking works tbh because I would get #1 player and also seemingly new player in the same day...?😭
because the skill to play agatinst good players and the skill to consistently not lose to worse players with highroll is different
which is why if the lb is purely by elo it would actually make sense
but rn im getting top players and then a random new player with a wack deck
Taking it slow against mew is 
They always have 5 ramp cards
Aggro is the way

And Bennett
Bennett is also the way
There is already knockout stage for "making good players play against good players", I don't understand why they try do the same thing in prelims
I got this too, now it makes me more confused as to how the matchmaking works haha
Keviiin
just wish they are willing to share how it works

No one cares about individual tournament performances anyway
Or like
Individual prelim performances
Me no understand pyro keq gameplan 
Just Bennett burst
Then cheese opponent
Always have talent
Works every time
Bennett burst into LITM keq 
How to beat wanderer
And yelan

benny skill -> LITM pyro res keq 
Everytime I play pyro keq like that it just feels like a combo deck without combo cards
That is like super highroll 
not as high as box -> yayoi -> guilded dreams -> 2x lyre
which happens in every game xD
Oh I managed to get this sometimes
fun when I am doing it but not when my opponent does it 
Combo decks don’t have pressure, cheese or sustain
The gameplan is basically just to take advantage of other decks’ choke points and have Bennett burst just outvalue the opponent
Are there scenarios where you'd rather rush klee burst instead of bennett?
Not really
Technically could come up against an aggro deck
But against aggro trying to build burst with any char is kind of difficult
Ok, I watched a very old pyro keq mirror where somebody went for klee burst and wondered whether it might be good in other matchups aswell
It may not come out of my non existent nitro
But it comes out of my heart
So its a real kleesis trust
is everyone doin alr here 
Yes for now 
Thank you 
although it will take more than half of the matches to calibrate the initial elo, making this system not work in this format
in fact the tournament itself wouldn't be necessary if we already had a ranking system within the game itself though.
If you calibrate top hard by elo though it doesn't quite reflect a true tourney as much
which is the scenario where elo is normally used
Since then to players are going to be paired too often against top and their WRs could tank too much and not reflect stuff
winrate is fake, elo is real
Kinda
you dont just look at how good a chess player is by their winrate
a gm can have a 50% winrate
if they only play against other gms
Well no but for any individual tournament
A lot of those are single elim too
So it's not just about elo
i understand that single elim can be exciting to watch
but to find the best players elo is the way to go
the current system obviously makes things more difficult but it's better than pure rng
imagine being awarded and playing 35 matches against beginners only.
Tournaments aren't about finding the best player
i would argue that point
If you want to do that sure, elo
tournaments to me is finding the best player by lowering variance as much as possible without it taking too much time
But the problem with elo too is its a time commitment
well we have 35 games anyways which is a time commitment
That's kinda totally wrong lol. Tournaments increase variance and give lesser skilled players a chance to win big
The thing is that elo is not used in tournaments.
do you realize this?
Hiwever skilled players over the long run have higher tourney placemenrs
But fir any indivdual event it does not reflect their ranking
But that's by design
It's fine to not like that but that's just wanting a system that favors you over everyone else
it doesnt even favor me
Tournaments are meant to be exciting
there is currently a winning strategy in this ctg though
which is one of the reasons i don't like the format
but it's still better than pure rng like past seasons
It's never pure rng until you match against ppl at a similar skill level
Usually you do need to be playing the T1 strategies to do well
When I was messing with weapon quicken last time I did pretty bad 
I was referring more to the way you play the tournament itself. in fact you still need to be at least a top player to do well against other players on top of that.
I do prefer the current system, the skilled players still rise enough towards the top
I also prefer that there's no explicit leaderboard ingame. There's a hidden MMR, sure, to make sure the top players aren't trashing newbies (which isn't fun or useful for either party in that exchange), but there's no pressure to improve that mmr, and no numbers going down when you lose, which brings down so many other competitive games for me
I think this only benefits casuals though.
then I'm a casual, because I think it benefits me
if you are truly a competitive player at some point you will realize that playing even mm is worse for you overall.
This is because the top of hidden mmr in all regions also does not represent the top of tournament players
Not everyone competes in tournaments to be competitive or to win the whole thing. Some never have the intention to be either.
And there is nothing wrong with that, nor is there nothing wrong with people being competitive.
to be clear, I'm not saying having the mmr there is bad. I'm saying having it hidden is good
These aggro players are really out of control
I assume they mean people who play aggravate decks but idk
Lyney overburn surely
unironically aggravate beats finaly
SI only plays google sheets now
Omg imagine consecrated beasts being cards
Every single player that I've dueled can't function w/o specific cards in the deck
i hear about sheet games but always in a memey remark. are people actually playing sheet games :yaethunk:
Isn’t that normal?
it's good that people still think of it as a joke

gilded, boar princess, lyre song, pink artifacts (that I can't bother to remember the full name)
definately needs nerf
lord forgive me; i am playing FiNaLy

the moment i'll stop is when i lose a game cuz according to my calcs, i have to win EVERY game from here on out to make top 16
i got 5 wins 6 losses with cope lol
It’s okay if you don’t make top 16
yeah i know
but if there's a chance, i will dream
cuz i was playing my homecooking cope deck
i surprised my opponent with a yelan kill
then i used lyney magic
classic
the moment i lose 1 game though imma go back to coping for fun

this deck has a highroll buff which works only on opponents hand, but when u use it "getting geo and hydro dice r1 and have to burn boar and lyre and... to just do 1skill" is the norm
yeah that happened to me lol
had to play hearth round 2 to unbrick myself slightly
but i pulled it back
not playing too much rn though
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’m doing so badly
have you gotten 3 wins at least?
I got three wins
ppl here can help with deck improvements or game improvements with replays if you'd like
stove r2 feels like the convention now
yeah top player vs top player is bad
cus it prevents people who WANT to be matched with higher skill level players
I mean in a swiss type tourney it happens, but just not super frequent
since that's record based pairings usually
dw i was the same during my first cat's tail!
i went 3-15 and dropped as soon as that 3rd win was confirmed lol
yes i was 2-14
if u are in the same boat, just try not to stress too much!
This is my fourth
if you want to share a replay i can give you some tips!
I don’t know how to share them
usually ppl screen record their replay and upload it to discord or youtube
I play on PS5
you can link PS5 to your youtube or twitch channel, and stream directly to it
recommend youtube
I’ll try to see if I can upload it
ps5 even lets you mark it as unlisted directly

You didnt mona skill on round 1 which made you have no reaction to swirl on round 2.
yeah mew is so bad for prelim
maybe for finals id pick
Because i got 7 electro dice
What’s mew
no ramp? 
The deck win rate going first vs 2nd is nuts
its not a bad thing to have high synergy packages that work really well together
its bad to have exactly 1 high synergy package that exists in the entire game that every deck is running 
Yea its like 57 58 rn iirc
good; could prob get more optimised but solid nevertheless
Funny since I have lost so much with it
So I guess skill issue or just bad luck with dice
deck issue imo
i think you need more ramp
and make it from optimised
Youre missing the best card, instructors
you need something that will allow you to wanderer attack at least three times in r2
mamere for liben
and there's not much cards in your deck that allows it
Alrighty
dont know about mao too
i recommend liben paimon ect
Don’t know why I didn’t put those cards in.
just keep in mind that mew is a Eula deck and not a wanderer deck and you will already be above average among those who use this deck.

Mew is a wanderer deck i thought…
it is
Yeah, I tend to use Eula more than Wanderer
p sure it's a Pokémon deck 
Mostly I switch to Wanderer if I get more anemo dice than Cryo
its a mona deck 
This is what the average player thinks whenever he chooses the wrong line and loses the match
Mew op nothing can beat it anyways
Wanderer or eula
T1 highroll and auto loss to flowchart
player diff surely
What cards should I prioritize in the beginning?
Weapon and artifact
Or supporters that draw into it
Honestly any ramp is good
ways to use up 5 dice r1
Ah, I’ve been prioritizing having support cards in my starting hands
quick poll. people that run gouba. do you keep it or toss it away round 1?
Quick PSA: Although it is not encourage, when the heated mode is available you can opt to play a heated mode match instead of a normal when you and the opponent both agree to it. There have been cases where player try to "trick" other player into playing heated mode instead without their consent. It is important for both players to check the invitation message so that it show the appropriate game mode that you and your opponent decide upon. A heated mode invitation will look different from a normal invitation to a duel.
keep it
Can be mulled if you brick hard but usually kept
the person accepting has to change their deck anyways and you can't change your deck for this heated battle
Yes just be mindful so it doesn't happen in future ctg as well 
thanks for the PSA 
good
it's extra funny because this heated battle mode is a draft format as well
funny in a tragic way I mean like "damn why'd you do this"
and on supposedly equal ground of not having idea wtf deck you get to use
there are forums?
i literally only exist here and on the gitcg server, I've never thought about it
Surverys and feedbacks within the game?
oh you mean that ok
shouln't've been lazy smh
most people are playing meta too kinda crazy
possibly because the meta is the shiny new cards
I can openly say that my opponent luck is shit
My luck was definitely horrible
yeah, I know
same
my dice luck is shitter
Record so far?
bad
My goat…
i had my longest streak so far :)
3 wins before losing again lol

i am having a lot of fun though
now i am just here for the ride
Hi! I have a question, can i ask it over here? Or should i use another channel?
Here is fine
Ok, thanks!
On one game, i conceded, knowing i was losing anyway, without realising that you can't do that
It didn't affect the result, my oponent won and i'm a fair player
But i'm wondering, is there a problem with that on terms of wining the rewards for playing? Mostly about that card back 😅
the problem is everyone is spamming meta deck lists here. It is more likely they find a meta deck list than a homebrew one. Especially now with deck codes. Less work to just copy a code found here or google.
You might get a strike but you won't be punished unless you have 3 strikes
can confirm that angela got opponents with terrible luck I got stomped lmao
Ok, thank you so much! If i get a strike i'll accept it, it was a rookie mistake, but i really want that card back 😅
Nah it’s okay! It happens every now and then.
Just be mindful of it in the future 🙂
dont think there should be problems with conceding now? i dont know if it affects how they track games
might be wrong
something something wintrading but wintrading was always possible anyways
I mean the strike is explained in the faq
Unless you’re referring to other problems or bugs
it hasn't
it has been like that since forever :gldge
you are extremely unlikely to receive a strike for conceding unless your opponent is a real asshole about it
I was really worried about it a couple seasons ago but ended up with zero strikes despite conceding a couple times
conceding in game or using /gicancel :yaethunk
you're just not playing it right, surely
aywag
if you don't get yelan food t1 then just go for the aggro tm angle instead
if you don't get food, dice, or ramp, then idk what to tell you, I think the game just hates you
srry this is off topic but u need to get three wins for the card back right? 
yeah
I tried yelan otk a couple times and I don't think I have open r1 with more than 3 hydro ever
you can play up to 35 games if you need to, so should be achievable for everyone with enough effort
i knew i shouldve believed in mew
deck suck
alr ty!!
but it ended up being hte right choice
mew has a positive matchup into FNL
imo
but otherwise it's not great into most of this meta
ahaha luckily i barely won 3 games so i wont have to worry now.. 
only match up i feel like is kinda disadvataged in is 2anemo
but besides that feels fine
it's really bad at interrupting yelan combo, and has few ways to actually punch through signora
bad at interrupting reviving characters in general honestly
which is mostly a problem against any signora deck
my opponent left the world during during dice roll and went to play some other game. What should I do?
contact the mods
I'm gonna try out my bloom deck wish me luck
this is dumb. I am held hostage. Can't start another game cuz of this
gicancel and report
I did report
Don't forget the room number
How do you check your ratio?
oh if you mean that one its them manually inputting results in spreadsheet
Oh
Dr. Ratio
Do you know a way to calculate win rate?
wins/total games
I suck at math does that mean divide it
yes
Okay thank you
Wowo thanks!
oh wow that embed was cancer
make a copy so you can edit for yourself, and heed the disclaimer at the bottom: keep at least 1 win in the results column or it freaks out
Why does blue text look so cursed
Though I can't focus enough to make a sheet, I appreciate it ><
+ you could be even more cursed
Eeeeeee
I've been getting the crappiest dice
Like consistently unusable across games

well I'm washed this season. I think I took 7 losses which prob will put me out of contention for t16
7 is still close you can still make it
blep still grinding despite being on china time and about to do more commentary
hype
(good job yesterday by the way! looking forward to more)
I mean the grind is helping me commentate in a way so it's good
7 is close but, it's 7 losses at 18 games
so good chance I take another one in the next few and I think that puts me out
it's fine
I gave it a good shot
competition is hard these days
how do you get the mouth breather role.
haha secret
the queue times are actually better for me here than back at home LOL
it's like flipped so morning is evening but
instead of 4am - 8am it's like, 8 - 12
two of him
Blep on the twitter thing it say watching the stream gives lucky coins but where are the lucky coins you know anything about that?
Is a 35% win rate with really close matches good for a amateur player?
is 8 minutes queue long :,)
yes to both of the above

oh i forgot about that
I'm not sure. It's possible they are only giving them out in the later broadcasts?
Any mods able to close my round? I am being held hostage by this afker. I can't start my next game and time is running out.
you'll need to go modmail I don't think the mods are actively monitoring
I'll ask about this and see if I have an answer. Maybe just need to connect Genshin to Twitch and it's a drop - otherwise they might only be doing it for the finals broadcasts next weekend
I have it connected. I had the twitch stream open the entire time. Maybe it is a bilibili thing only since it is Asia invitationals.
Wah prize pool so much bigger
no CN has like a completely different set of stuff you get for watching with more merch
so it shouldn't be
😦 still being held hostage...
80% of games against really strong opponents
welcome to this meta
Meta is just WAY diff
where everything is balance
more like everything is unbalanced
but as everything is like that, it means is balanced
It is unbalanced!
its the same package thats really strong and it goes in every deck

wish there was a class system
cant print interesting powerful cards without it going in every deck
Sounds like it's only for the later streams, so not this week
ok something like
runeterra
or magic
could kinda work
magics system actually is weird
but it works
or pokemon
Oh Thanks for the infor. It is twitch or youtube?
pokemon got no class system tho
Prob twitch
si play pokemon?
what's pokemon again?
i just have a few pokemon tcg cards 
me too
pfft yeah I know THAT
like is it a tcg deck thing
wow so if you dont confirm match you just get away with not getting a loss. What a dirty trick...
a mod will go and fix it later probably 
i couldn't play any games today, held hostage the entire time just to get 0 points.
dm the cocogoat
I did nothing happen
Assuming that you followed the instructions and give them the room number and sceenshots, it will take time for the cocogoat to respond
I dont even know if they will give me a point cuz my opponent just afk from the first dice roll and then close genshin and went to play other games. So techically we didnt play a full game.
did he say anything?
nope nothing
vg :dodogasp:
if it was from the first dice roll you should have gicanceled
every clan has own mechanic :nod:
congrats
thunderbird is an elemental manifestation and therefore likely genderless
but calling it 'egirl' is funny, so sure
smellemental womanifestation
prety sure on later scrutiny everything gets resolved rest assured
but to be sure u probably should dial the cocogoat
no the bots says it is a disconnect and I don't get a win. Game doesn't count.
Basically they got 0 punishment and I lost my entire day's time
wha the
just look at the match up and then dc if you are unfavored I guess. There no punishment
That's the mods' ruling of the case? 😟
Personally I think people like that should get 1 strike tbh🙊
they probably did but 1 stike is nothing
1 strike for having you hostage most of the alotted time is too soft of a punishment imo
I got a strike just coz I couldn't confirm in the given 1 minute timeframe twice 
So giving them only one strike for something like that is really too soft of a punishment
Oh yeah you all are correct.. maybe that person should be temporarily barred from the tournament🙊
i dont think I can make top 16 anyways. I have 7 losses already
I got two strikes for forgetting to confirm my match.. they said it was like one for causing the opponent trouble and one for causing the mods trouble
Wouldnt be too surprised if that was the case for your match ..?
Oh yeah
I just figured id wait till the next ctg
Mostly id b worried abt not being able to join future ones
Im not nearly good enough to compete, but id like the card back at least.. 
👍
Was a bit of a bummer tho
I think part of why i forgot was bc i spent the first 20minutes waiting for the opponent to log in to the game.. it kinda threw me off i think 
But rly i shouldve checked anyway so, still mb
issok
Good news i was losing all my matches anyway 
Turns out its important to know what changed in the game over the last like half a year or so
hahaha
I must say, I don't mind the idea that you can queue into the same person twice over the entire set of your matches, but the fact that it can happen back to back on the same day seems like it shouldn't be a thing that happens.
yeah, maybe that's something to consider improving
Do they do balance passes and new cards every patch for this?
yes, generally
There are balance adjustments and buffs/nerfs every so often, they come in waves
this patch, for example, Oceanid, Fatui Agent, and Ocean-Hued Clam were nerfed
sometimes they take a lot of time to come, but they end up coming
but this is after they'd been dominating the meta for three whole patches beforehand
Ughhh, lost again
Is there any incentive to keep playing once I'm dead for top cut? Do total points matter across months or anything?
Don’t we get primogems for playing?
Primos and if you do all 35 games you get like one consolation circuit point
Which prob doesn't matter except as tie breaks for ppl who make t16
Noted. Thanks.
pokémon tcg talk in relation to genshin tcg
genshin ruined me financially by making me give money to… the pokémon company?? 
tbh I'm kind of surprised there isn't a paper version of GITCG. They don't have any digital only mechanics
you could argue Mamere is the digital only mechanic
but they could just do what they did with Ditto in the gameboy Pokémon TCG
just don't have it
Some boardstates can be really difficult to calculate by hand though due to elemental chain reactions
yea I thought I would win a match with 1 HP
personally i wouldn't play a physical version haha
but nope, forgor Nahida's seed thing
you could say skill issue but it would get messy especially as the game goes on
just look at opponent's dice and go "wow they dice of cringe bad guess I don't have to play around ..."
well I guess Genius Invokation TCG is also supposed to be played on top of a huge box
so you could roll your dice behind it
even though the animation shows you rolling on top of it but w/e
I grew up with this. This game is fine to calc by hand 😉
this is honestly a mess, with all due respect
it is in fact a hot mess, just pointing out paper gamers are used to that being the case
If Genshin's audience was from the same generation then it wouldn't be a problem, but I doubt it would be successful like mtg
helmp im scared i play pokemon tcg i already forgor if i attached energy this turn
don't play g/w devotion then 

mamere in physical form 💀
btw, Jeff how has the experience been with gitcg?
if you dont know what it does it adds a random card (including ones not in your deck) into your hand
just need a deck of cards to your side to draw from and re add the card u draw from mamere back into the deck 
yea and when you want to draw another one you need another copy of it
gonna be expensive af
6 copies of every single card here i come
I wonder if bugs and strange interactions from the digital version would be allowed in the physical version. I can definitely see confusion happening over this.
Hey what are the odds that u draw 3 dun from mamaere 
They will call u rigged the deck for mamere
low but nonzero
and 3 more from the second one
where's that screenshot of four chef maos activating?
kojo have it in gitcg
I've enjoyed my time playing so far, but the comp stuff doesn't inspire confidence in overall balance. Not a lot of deck variety at events it doesn't look like.
anyways anything with "random" is kinda hard to do irl
getting a random ___ card isnt just rolling a dice
you have to get all the supporters out in a pile, shuffle and draw a card for example
interactions is also gonna be whack since those are decided by game and a lot of them even top players dont know because its niche
this one?
It's Xiangling's daddy!
in fact this patch is messier. there was a little more freedom last patch, but i imagine 4.4 will tweak things soon.
they just need to tone down artifact engine, so that resonance decks are more viable by comparison
and then the meta will be perfect
non-stall resonance decks, I mean
Perfect is so subjective
rn the skill expression went up a lot from 4.2
At least on coverage at the Asia event right now, there are a lot of 6-9 character mirrors
but the highroll also went up by a lot
The amount of cards ppl had to draw shot up the roof
but also the number of ways to draw them also shot through the roof
From the last patch, only 2 decks are still being used regularly at a high level.
mew and ls. that says a lot about this patch i think.
yelan magic actively has trouble not drawing through their entire deck by round 4
wasnt it aec
AEC is dead now
aec can still win a weekly in the GITCG server
it's just nerfed like shenhe sc was last patch
it's death was necessary
that's what mihoyo thought
or people won't bother with new cards
gitcg weekly 💀
gitcg weekly
to be fair, the past meta was in fact more diverse than it is now
but it was still bad.
the golden age was 3.8
what happened to pyro kek who knows
people say it's good
but not many actually play it
If KevinZ can't even win a weekly with this then this deck must be bad
trust
in fact the only decks that seem to survive over time are ironically LS and DP
Even if the characters are diverse the decks aren't really
I dunno so many 0 cost draws
Seems like a mistake
Gonna be hard to undo too
Maybe the tendency is to have less diversity at this rate
It certainly seems like every tcg's fate
Yeah. The good engine seems a cut above the other options.
Omg Mamere can be funny at times 
aw man i just barely missed the first time slot cause of an appointment
o well there is always tonight
AEC? i havent heard of that, what does the A stand for?
Pyro Fatui Agent
Alright, I have Diona / Barb / Xingqui, and Deya / Jean / Lynette, any other control decks I should entertain looking at?
Some people use the term "control" but in fact they are all stall decks.
life sentence is a stall deck so there is no direct means of control like the other two have.
personally I don't think "control" is an archetype here
control is a weird word for this game
yeah
Ehh the freeze aspect of Dinoa and the control their characters that are active with Jean are definitely control elements
anyone want to play a few games? want to test smt
dont susge me ;-;
theres ayaka freeze decks which is more aggro than the diona one, but not placed too high in the meta right now
its composed of either ayaka with 2 hydro (mona and xingqiu or yelan), or ayaka with another hydro and cryo (chongyun and xingqiu or yelan)
In fact, they are elements, but not enough to configure this archetype.
we only recently got something like judgment, which is technically a control arcane that LS can use
layla barb xq, noelle barb xq, ning barb koko, honestly anything 2hydro is control
yet the main characteristic of these decks still places them more as stall decks
speaking of stall does anyone in chat want to play some stall against me
need some practice breaking stall
once upon a time we had mona2nemo
once upon a time 2nemo was aggro xD
you already got someone?
no come join
oki
come come
dehya danemo stall 
@crystal tapir ggs i go do other things now
tyty
I don't need to use the same deck through duels, right?
no
I had an opponent use gicancel after I beat them. Is it okay to keep queueing while I wait on the Qixing hotline?
Yes
Unless you agree, the game can't be cancelled?
Did you screenshot proof?
I used conclude, he timed out, then when he did cancel, it just closed to room. I've got the replay so I have proof of that, but the chat room is closed and I can't see it anymore.
ah
A person I played against is now using my deck 
using all the tools in ones arsenal
you should be able to see the room even after Paimon closes it
I used it to check an opponent I missed to stalk in my spreadsheet last season
hmm I don't see how, at least with the windows version of Discord. Is there a special way to see them?
Like desktop?
Yeah. During the match I see it on the left under the preliminary-queue. But that vanishes when it ends.
Ah thanks a bunch, I never noticed that up there.

be flattered, your deck is good enough to copy
It's a little out there and I think there's another version so must've found it lol
oh hi LMAO
Wowo nice job!
si built diff
Pass me ure decklist

ahh
i hate sitting and waiting for a match while using navia 
always that one dan passive
not pasive
idle
why is there no CTGS1 role
what can I do if my opponent goes MIA before the match? just gicancel?
Did they accept the queue then just ghost?
Ok Imma just put this idea here cuz whenver the feedback survey comes around I end up forgetting lol:
- Add @pallid belfry so people can do g!tcg in their threads in the case of disputes since the screenshot proof system was removed.
- That's it for now
and then you play a bad list just to confuse them
I had a person dragging their feet to get into the match, though they were trollng but they eventually showed up... and eventually accepted the match 
These kind of players will do anything to do the wrong thing
I've been in a situation before where this player conceded before the matched end. Kept wanting to be dishonest and trolling. I tried canceling the match so many times, b/c the person broke the rules
I got fed with the players and screenshot all the conversations and even recorded my match so they can't defend themselves
...At this point I will just compete for some primos and for the lulz

not just you
😂
Uh you're 8th on the leaderboard though 
here in eu i lost hope with 19 
I’m at twelve wins, fifteen losses
I have no idea how some people have nearly 95% win rate here
power of luck then skill
duck 🦆
: kleesis
why no kleesis emoji in tavern 

Got 13 losses so far this is honestly so embarrassing omgg
well I can still get 2 wishes I think at least (kopium)
how many global players?
idk
shrug
imma go check on the alt i registered with 0-0
poggies
lame i lost to an ar 30 who made his discord account like this week...
you need 1 match to check
thats an invader from another region. Only people who are really dedicated (read: good at the game) do that
so don't feel bad
close to 1400
someone did share somewhere can't recal
they not good. They just play multiple accounts 1 with the same t0 deck one of them will surely get top 16.
well that's a statement
well they have to be good, if they managed to beat you
fr
i've fought you before, you're a good player
it was a mirror match up where he didnt need to tune and i had to tune it is whatever
yeah you can't feel bad about those
sometimes the game just decides you don't get to win
very frustrating, indeed, but not a personal failing
i dont think there is much skill when we literally do the same skills in the same order. just 1 person has 5 cards cuz no need to tune and the other has 1.
there's lot of skill that goes into deckbuilding and Mulligan as well
so u can minimise that as well
up to some extent
i dont mind that I lost it is the fact the primo gems means nothing to their account nor the card back and they have 2 or 3 chances at the money over everyone else.
no I dont cheat. I only play on my account
ah it's the same old argument of yours
that alting shouldn't be allowed
welp
it's legal
talk to mods than ig
it is, it's just discouraged
it is actually illegal if they are flooding multiple accounts in the same server
not just 1
hm
i thought we were talking about multiple region or region diff from yours
multiple acc in same region is definitely not allowed
I think if you have any proof that they indeed have multiple accounts in the same server you could report via modmail..
i dont have proof that would require me check ip or something. But it is not hard to imagine. start 1 alt on day 1 if it is not going well play another on day 2 and so forth. heck if they get 2 accounts in top 16 they can only play themselves in knockout.
Omg people actually do that? 🙊
Aren't they a couple? 
Oh okay..
there is a way to stop it. no cash prize only primo. then the desire to cheat is gone.
participants will reduce by 70%
also that's not how u solve a problem
that's just a lazy way
the format is brutal
no one is going to stick around for primos
pretty sure 90% of people playing will never see the money. They only here for fun. so it changes nothing for them.
it does Changes
underlying motivation is gon
even if they never get the money
the fact u have a chance is what makes people to go an
compete
you understand 1000 dollars is like 60k primo
that looks way better in an ad than 1000 dollars
but it will only appeal to people that like genshin
tcg will just than become another mini game which people play for primos and than forget it even exists
isnt that hoyoverse's entire premise
so u have a problem when they actually going against there philosophy
you might be able to "cheat" the prelim system a little to get onto lb, but i highly doubt someone who isnt actually good at the game can get into top 8 finalists, which is where the cash prizes start at
so much effort than to loose in KO
isn't even worth for most people
im sure there can be some
but that's just exceptions
Yeah I have failed to get into top 8 not just once but twice 
Personally I'd rather have real money than 60k primos, I already have ||80||k primos anyway... 😭
we just different people. I am more interested in, in game items and primo or genshin merch. Literally only join here cuz of the card back/welkin raffles announcement. (But you can just buy genshin merch with money
)
smh
irl currency can fund my food for a month, side game currency can fund my addiction for a day 🤔
need that bird lady next month need all the primos I can get
As far as i remember, most top players don't care about primogens or even play the side game regularly
and to be fair the rewards in primogems aren't even worth the effort to try top 16 lmao
Removing the incentive for prizes is certainly not the way to improve the system and that is kind of obvious.
I do play genshin impact the adventure game regularly (Extremely regularly, I'm a completionist), but also, yeah, I'm not in this for primogems or money
I'm here for love of the game and drive to play as well as possible
that said, I think having the participation prize primogems is good because that is a motivating factor for more people to play the game, which ultimately makes the entire game and community better
I would also definitely play for primos (and fun) even if there was no money prizes for higher places, I never really had prizes in mind while signing up 
I think it's a good thing to have awards even if most people aren't here for them.
the cardbacks probably have more appeal than the primogens themselves.
^ absolutely
i am still salty I don't have, and may never have, the first prince cup gold dragonspine card back
I will not rest until hyv gives it to me
this seems like a problem with FOMO.
reminds me a little of season skins in league of legends
imagine being punished for not playing the first season
but without these things, perhaps these items would have less sentimental value for those who own them
how do i come back from a 1-4
grind mroe games
and practise for next day
ok how do i come back from double hydro ning trauma
play MEW
which one is MEW
mona eula wanderer
oh
swirl freeze deck
Don't worry, I feel like most good players had some kind of breakdown during this tavern
Just highroll meta
i played reaction deck into double hydro ning
and my opponents is nyahida
most torture shit ever
i can attest to that 
It's justice for you know what 
LMAO
Here have a kleesis
No nitro TwT

nyahida is queuing ls?

Guess my game with him was too much 
We suffer together

where you get this from 👀

Read higher 
why i no remembre dis...

yo barbara with tenacity beat a keqing with aqulia lol what a long ass fight 1v1
genuinely wondering how
if kequing would heal since barb can't naturally do more than 1 dmg
weapon, ig
u see in that match up keqing would win
each barb hit is 1 dmg while each keqing hit is 4 dmg
Hey guys! Does anyone have any tips for fighting the double anemo dehya? Thanks
rocks
i threw my pc out the window and that seemed to do the trick! i've heard punching through your screen (fist or hammer, ofc, you have options) that works great, too :)
Not if barbara has yelan beidou burst active 
had the layla passive so it was perma freeze while healing
ahh
I still don’t get pings for matching unless my discord is open and on my screen 
wow, my opponent luck is soo shit
you went thru the replay?
sometimes i do that and think the same thing
when I say opponent luck, I mean what I matched w/ is shit
not my opponent's luck
right I'm matched w/ an obvious invader
they had ar 30 and a discord account made last week?
I haven't checked
the number 1 in the leaderboard right now has both ar 30 and discord account made last week. I faced 2 times now
so my opponent luck is worse
It should be matched off if your win rate.
But also more people are active since it’s Saturday
i dont think it is by win rate it is by number of games played i think
The exact method isn't known but its meant to factor in win rate for queues. All we know though is it tries to match "similar skill"
i wonder if tarven lvl is factor in. Like we all lvl 10 but the invaders are lvl 5 or something and they get to match with other lvl 5 at the start
Win rate out of number of games played.
i think it just queues by win rate
if your win rate is around 33 they’ll match you with someone around 33 percent
duelist lvl isnt a real factor of ability
It’s also why people with 0% win rate despite having played a dozen games matches with the new players who may still destroy them
I have a horrible opponent who stalls
The fact that he stalls so much and heals made me want to never challenge this person ever again
Man, I suck so much
If I had Nahida, I would already destroy them
Yeah that happens
Man just bc I lose a game and get to 8 lose the system match me against cope smh
It did inspire me to bring my future opponent more hell than hell
Dude I don’t get pinged when I match what am I supposed to do
No, the app is always open when I do this
But even if I’m in another window I don’t get pinged
ah strange
unless im@literally sitting there staring at those 3 dots on that specific channel I don’t get pinged
And then I get timed out
No notif outside of the app either because the channel is too big
Happens too often
I really hate I keep losing despite trying so hard to get better
I have never kicked my opponents out of my world harder than I've ever before
Replayed my matches and wow, my opponent’s always got the dice they needed every round
gonna stop my tournament participation here. I think I've lost all my matches so far due to dice induced bricking in the last round every single time. 
we really need to start demanding they make it so we only have to play 3 matches per day, too. 5 per day is insane
It really sucks never getting the dice you need. While your opponent always get what they need and never need to tune
a buffer day would be nice
have one last day where theres no additional quota added but ppl who didnt have time previously can catch up
last two matches I drew only 1 usable dice in the last two rounds of both matches. went from full hand to nothing. I think those two matches broke me 
I barely had enough dice to do anything too in my last three matches
And replaying the matches to see what my opponents got revealed they always rolled the elements they needed
Do you have cards that will increase the likelihood of getting the dice you need / change the dice you need?
gilded dreams
If Nahida was active, they got five dendro. If Lyney was active, they got mostly pyro while the rest were electro or dendro
they could have also rolled omni dice
I've been putting this on every post-season survey! I wonder why they haven't implemented it
That too. Omni dice
omg im glad someone thinks the same
more ppl should advocate for this during survey..
longer queue times!
paimon, Gilded, jade palace, ningguang, Elvis dude, instructor’s hat, aranara camp, and gambit all give you more dice and/or change your hand
3 matches per day, 1 day buffer, and let's go back to welkin raffles instead of primos per win 
OMG Elvis dude
I don’t know his name, he just looks like Elvis 
Don’t jynx it 
and by that I mean I've lost 7 matches in a row and I'm literally burning alive send help

Oh 
never said it was a winning streak 
Nooo that must feel awful. I remember when I was there. How do you feel about your current deck?
I have 2 games left; I’m not gonna be able to play tomorrow but I did much better than last season at least
lol the flashbacks
Well, I didn't make much changes from last season because all the new cards overwhelmed me so I just yolo'd it and see where the meta is at
I usually win after losing four times in a row
My extent of tcg pvp actually is tctg as of late
Bruh I’m having deja vu now
Ah, that explains it some
since 35 matches in a single week is a crazy amount for me
yeah, it’s lot
but yea gonna stick with this deck and lose 5 in a row tomorrow and then adjust my deck
'cause it clearly needs it
I keep messing around with making decks until it finally clicks for me
I do that but then I get scared to play them 
I loved wanderer and I wanted to try dvalin but the last just wasn't clicking
Until I saw online someone did shenhe
So I made my own of that
I want to have a kazuha deck and an Ayato deck but idk who to do
You should test in arena of champions
Dvalin makes me angry
Thunder too
I don’t like the attacking anyone anywhere thing
man I blundered at least two games to the m i s t a k e keeping its strike probe thingy to the last round's bullied character
and forgetting to go for turn initiative to change it to someone healthier
i already hated the mofo in the side game they didn't have to make the card just as annoying 💀
Cause as someone who willingly chooses to sacrifice my characters sometimes and then they just attack someone else I’m like 
REAL
I love my deck so much right now I've been having a hard time lately but playing and actually doing good makes me so happy
That’s always hit or miss though
I was told not to use that for practice
