Cus i lose to it if they get totm r1

#

I need to figure out how to beat it if they get totm

crystal tapir
#

totm + wagner t1 then youre cooked

#

xD

pearl glade
#

Yarp.

#

I did make a more friendly 2anemo list tho

crystal tapir
#

but dang this tourney

pearl glade
#

Very not highrolly

crystal tapir
#

its either super highroll meta or the matchmaking is killing every top player with other top players

#

cutoff is 13-7 rn

pearl glade
#

It’s the highroll for sure

crystal tapir
#

previously its like 28-7

cursive gazelle

NA evening queue will be our saving grace

crystal tapir
#

nah man my matching is cursed bruh

#

tbf that only means its functioning properly

#

*for me

twilit steppe

#

ohnyo matchmaking killed you too

thick widget
#

I don't understand tho why matchmaking is even a thing

crystal tapir
#

wasnt you like 10-1 at some point

thick widget
#

Why would you let the higher up players at eachother instead of just randomly letting it roll

twilit steppe
crystal tapir
thick widget
#

From a competetive aspect it doesn't make sense to have matchmaking system

crystal tapir
#

in some way it does in some way it doesnt

thick widget
#

It just makes life harder for top 16 contestants

twilit steppe
#

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...?😭

crystal tapir
#

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

summer berry
#

Taking it slow against mew is kopium

#

They always have 5 ramp cards

#

Aggro is the way

#

And Bennett

#

Bennett is also the way

crystal tapir

benny skill -> LITM pyro res keq HeheSmile

thick widget
twilit steppe
crystal tapir
#

not as high as box -> yayoi -> guilded dreams -> 2x lyre

#

which happens in every game xD

twilit steppe
summer berry
#

The gameplan is basically just to take advantage of other decks’ choke points and have Bennett burst just outvalue the opponent

thick widget
#

Are there scenarios where you'd rather rush klee burst instead of bennett?

summer berry
#

Not really

#

Technically could come up against an aggro deck

#

But against aggro trying to build burst with any char is kind of difficult

thick widget
#

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

summer berry
#

It’s ok

#

But tbh I just go for Bennett stuff in pyro keq mirror anyway

thick widget
#

Alright

#

Thx for the advice :pretend this to be a real kleesis:

summer berry

No real kleesis

Thank you windfl3ColleiHeart

eternal musk
#

in fact the tournament itself wouldn't be necessary if we already had a ranking system within the game itself though.

pearl fern
#

If you calibrate top hard by elo though it doesn't quite reflect a true tourney as much

eternal musk
#

which is the scenario where elo is normally used

pearl fern
#

Since then to players are going to be paired too often against top and their WRs could tank too much and not reflect stuff

crystal tapir
#

winrate is fake, elo is real

pearl fern
#

Kinda

crystal tapir
#

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

pearl fern
#

Well no but for any individual tournament

#

A lot of those are single elim too

#

So it's not just about elo

crystal tapir
#

i understand that single elim can be exciting to watch

#

but to find the best players elo is the way to go

eternal musk
#

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.

pearl fern
#

Tournaments aren't about finding the best player

crystal tapir
#

i would argue that point

pearl fern
#

If you want to do that sure, elo

crystal tapir
#

tournaments to me is finding the best player by lowering variance as much as possible without it taking too much time

pearl fern
#

But the problem with elo too is its a time commitment

crystal tapir
#

well we have 35 games anyways which is a time commitment

pearl fern
eternal musk
#

The thing is that elo is not used in tournaments.
do you realize this?

pearl fern
#

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

crystal tapir
#

it doesnt even favor me

pearl fern
#

Tournaments are meant to be exciting

crystal tapir
#

been retired since 3.8

#

0-7ed by binzu

eternal musk
#

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

pearl fern
#

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 KekDoggo

eternal musk
#

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.

tropic slate
#

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

pearl fern
#

Its nice to see meteorites back at the top

#

Havent seen them in a while it seems

eternal musk
tropic slate
#

then I'm a casual, because I think it benefits me

eternal musk
#

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

gleaming parcel
#

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.

tropic slate
#

to be clear, I'm not saying having the mmr there is bad. I'm saying having it hidden is good

night token

These aggro players are really out of control

whats aggro

I assume they mean people who play aggravate decks but idk

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

wet bluff

yeah i know

#

but if there's a chance, i will dream

cuz i was playing my homecooking cope deck

i got crisp diffed

if only i had a crisp or a better dice

i surprised my opponent with a yelan kill

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

wet bluff
#

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!

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

crystal tapir

How’s this deck?

rich wasp

good

#

👍

#

mamere can get cut though thunkyae

#

maybe wagner package

pearl glade
# fast frost

good; could prob get more optimised but solid nevertheless

fast frost
#

Funny since I have lost so much with it

#

So I guess skill issue or just bad luck with dice

pearl glade
#

i think you need more ramp

#

and make it from optimised

crystal tapir
pearl glade
#

you need something that will allow you to wanderer attack at least three times in r2

cursive gazelle
#

mamere for liben

pearl glade
#

and there's not much cards in your deck that allows it

fast frost
#

Alrighty

cursive gazelle
#

dont know about mao too

pearl glade
#

i recommend liben paimon ect

fast frost
#

Don’t know why I didn’t put those cards in.

eternal musk
#

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.

crystal tapir
#

Mew is a wanderer deck i thought…

pearl glade
fast frost
#

Yeah, I tend to use Eula more than Wanderer

thick charm
#

p sure it's a Pokémon deck HeheSmile

fast frost
#

Mostly I switch to Wanderer if I get more anemo dice than Cryo

cursive gazelle

its a mona deck KokoShock

rose perch
#

quick poll. people that run gouba. do you keep it or toss it away round 1?

slow heart
#

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.

tropic slate
#

keep it

crystal tapir
#

Can be mulled if you brick hard but usually kept

rose perch

I'm definately gonna request for the cards to be nerfed hard

Yes just be mindful so it doesn't happen in future ctg as well KeqingHeart_pixels

cursive gazelle
#

thanks for the PSA kleesis

thick charm
#

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"

eternal musk

imagine trying to trick your opponent in this mode and getting destroyed anyway

and on supposedly equal ground of not having idea wtf deck you get to use

Hi! I have a question, can i ask it over here? Or should i use another channel?

gleaming parcel
#

Here is fine

ember heath
#

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 😅

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

rich wasp
#

has the faq been updated recently

tropic slate
#

it hasn't

thorny oyster
#

it has been like that since forever :gldge

tropic slate
#

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

slow heart
#

conceding in game or using /gicancel :yaethunk

tropic slate
#

conceding in game

#

/gicancel is way more likely to get you a strike

tropic slate

you're just not playing it right, surely

pearl glade

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? QiqiLurk

yeah

I tried yelan otk a couple times and I don't think I have open r1 with more than 3 hydro evercri

you can play up to 35 games if you need to, so should be achievable for everyone with enough effort

but didnt

#

i was too scared of stall

shadow thorn

but it ended up being hte right choice

tropic slate

mew has a positive matchup into FNL

#

imo

#

but otherwise it's not great into most of this meta

shadow thorn
#

ahaha luckily i barely won 3 games so i wont have to worry now.. scream1

pearl glade
#

but besides that feels fine

tropic slate
#

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

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

wha the

rose perch

just look at the match up and then dc if you are unfavored I guess. There no punishment

twilit steppe
#

Personally I think people like that should get 1 strike tbh🙊

rose perch
#

they probably did but 1 stike is nothing

arctic valve
#

1 strike for having you hostage most of the alotted time is too soft of a punishment imo

pine heron
#

I got a strike just coz I couldn't confirm in the given 1 minute timeframe twice AlhaithamNod

#

So giving them only one strike for something like that is really too soft of a punishment

twilit steppe

Oh yeah you all are correct.. maybe that person should be temporarily barred from the tournament🙊

rose perch

i dont think I can make top 16 anyways. I have 7 losses already

3 strikes will disqualify u

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.

I’ve lost my last eight matches

Even after optimizing my deck

eternal musk
pliant otter
#

Do they do balance passes and new cards every patch for this?

tropic slate
#

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

arctic valve

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

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?

pokémon tcg talk in relation to genshin tcg

#

genshin ruined me financially by making me give money to… the pokémon company?? HeheSmile

pliant otter
#

tbh I'm kind of surprised there isn't a paper version of GITCG. They don't have any digital only mechanics

thick charm
#

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

eternal musk
#

Some boardstates can be really difficult to calculate by hand though due to elemental chain reactions

slow heart
#

The thing with paper version is dice

#

u can't see opp dice in game but paper

thick charm
#

yea I thought I would win a match with 1 HP

eternal musk
#

personally i wouldn't play a physical version haha

thick charm
#

but nope, forgor Nahida's seed thing

#

you could say skill issue but it would get messy especially as the game goes on

slow heart
#

just look at opponent's dice and go "wow they dice of cringe bad guess I don't have to play around ..."

thick charm
#

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

pliant otter
eternal musk
#

this is honestly a mess, with all due respect

pliant otter
#

it is in fact a hot mess, just pointing out paper gamers are used to that being the case

eternal musk
#

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

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

eternal musk
#

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.

slow heart
#

Hey what are the odds that u draw 3 dun from mamaere HeheSmile

#

They will call u rigged the deck for mamere

tropic slate
#

low but nonzero

crystal tapir

and 3 more from the second one

tropic slate
#

where's that screenshot of four chef maos activating?

slow heart
#

kojo have it in gitcg

pliant otter
crystal tapir
#

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

crystal tapir
#

doesnt fit all 8 on first proc?

#

It's Xiangling's daddy!

eternal musk
#

in fact this patch is messier. there was a little more freedom last patch, but i imagine 4.4 will tweak things soon.

tropic slate
#

they just need to tone down artifact engine, so that resonance decks are more viable by comparison

#

and then the meta will be perfect

crystal tapir
#

honestly decks are pree diverse rn

#

just not the cards in each deck

#

xD

tropic slate
#

non-stall resonance decks, I mean

night token
#

Perfect is so subjective

slow heart
crystal tapir
#

rn the skill expression went up a lot from 4.2

pliant otter
crystal tapir
#

but the highroll also went up by a lot

night token
#

The amount of cards ppl had to draw shot up the roof

tropic slate
#

but also the number of ways to draw them also shot through the roof

eternal musk
#

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.

tropic slate
#

yelan magic actively has trouble not drawing through their entire deck by round 4

#

AEC is dead now

tropic slate
#

aec can still win a weekly in the GITCG server

#

it's just nerfed like shenhe sc was last patch

polar barn
#

it's death was necessary

#

that's what mihoyo thought

#

or people won't bother with new cards

eternal musk
#

the thing about AEC's death is that this is also Nilou's death

crystal tapir
#

gitcg weekly 💀

polar barn
#

gitcg weekly

eternal musk
#

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

polar barn
#

what happened to pyro kek who knows
people say it's good
but not many actually play it

eternal musk
#

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

pearl fern
#

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

eternal musk
#

Maybe the tendency is to have less diversity at this rate

#

It certainly seems like every tcg's fate

Alright, I have Diona / Barb / Xingqui, and Deya / Jean / Lynette, any other control decks I should entertain looking at?

slow mason
#

there's llife sentence which is barb ning koko

eternal musk
#

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

slow mason
#

control is a weird word for this game

eternal musk
#

yeah

pliant otter
#

Ehh the freeze aspect of Dinoa and the control their characters that are active with Jean are definitely control elements

I had an opponent use gicancel after I beat them. Is it okay to keep queueing while I wait on the Qixing hotline?

lucid sable

Did you screenshot proof?

storm parcel

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.

Yeah. During the match I see it on the left under the preliminary-queue. But that vanishes when it ends.

what can I do if my opponent goes MIA before the match? just gicancel?

lucid sable

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:

  1. Add @pallid belfry so people can do g!tcg in their threads in the case of disputes since the screenshot proof system was removed.
  2. That's it for now

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

well that's a statement

tropic slate

well they have to be good, if they managed to beat you

polar barn

fr

tropic slate
#

i've fought you before, you're a good player

rose perch
#

it was a mirror match up where he didnt need to tune and i had to tune it is whatever

tropic slate
#

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

rose perch
#

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.

polar barn
#

there's lot of skill that goes into deckbuilding and Mulligan as well

#

so u can minimise that as well

#

up to some extent

rose perch
#

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.

polar barn
#

u can do the same

#

honestly idk where u going at

rose perch
#

no I dont cheat. I only play on my account

polar barn
#

ah it's the same old argument of yours

#

that alting shouldn't be allowed

#

welp

#

it's legal

rose perch
#

why can't people just follow the rules

#

it isnt legal

polar barn
#

talk to mods than ig

tropic slate
#

it is, it's just discouraged

rose perch
#

it is actually illegal if they are flooding multiple accounts in the same server

#

not just 1

tropic slate
#

hm

polar barn
#

i thought we were talking about multiple region or region diff from yours

#

multiple acc in same region is definitely not allowed

twilit steppe
rose perch
#

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.

polar barn
#

it's really hard to enforce indeed

#

there was this case in S02

twilit steppe
#

Aren't they a couple? EulaThink_Eri

polar barn
#

but it wasn't proved guilty

#

im just saying there were alligations

twilit steppe
rose perch
#

there is a way to stop it. no cash prize only primo. then the desire to cheat is gone.

polar barn
#

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

rose perch
#

pretty sure 90% of people playing will never see the money. They only here for fun. so it changes nothing for them.

polar barn
#

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

rose perch
#

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

polar barn
#

tcg will just than become another mini game which people play for primos and than forget it even exists

rose perch
#

isnt that hoyoverse's entire premise

polar barn
#

so u have a problem when they actually going against there philosophy

cursive gazelle
#

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

polar barn
#

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

twilit steppe

crystal tapir
#

irl currency can fund my food for a month, side game currency can fund my addiction for a day 🤔

rose perch
#

need that bird lady next month need all the primos I can get

eternal musk
#

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.

tropic slate
#

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

sick blaze
#

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 QiqiLurk

eternal musk
#

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.

tropic slate
#

^ 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

crystal tapir

can only use one at a time anyways

eternal musk
#

this seems like a problem with FOMO.
reminds me a little of season skins in league of legends

It should be matched off if your win rate.
But also more people are active since it’s Saturday

rose perch

i dont think it is by win rate it is by number of games played i think

pearl fern

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"

rose perch

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
