[fast frost]

Yeah, I win 90% of the time in the arena

And I suck so that says something about the average arena player

[steep pendant]

Yeah, but it's slightly better than pve isn't it?

[gleaming parcel]

The challenge ones in tavern can actually be challenging

like the ones that don’t have cards over their head but you can still play them

[steep pendant]

It's good to test the flexibility yeah

[gleaming parcel]

Some of the Npc bots do specific moves no matter what, but the harder ones are bots that actually think

[barren anchor]

why not just play co-op pvp. it's the best in-game way to get matched with good players

[steep pendant]

Oh, good idea

[gleaming parcel]

Cause then you have to find people

[barren anchor]

it has a hidden ranking system, so you get matched with players with similar skill

at first it's easy and filled with bots but it gets better over time

[fast frost]

Weird how the arena isn’t like that

[barren anchor]

well yeah that's a downside. but i'd rather not play tcg than play aoc lol

[solar aspen]

plz, tell me queue isn't bugged now

hahaha

[gleaming parcel]

What does ggwp mean
And glhf
I think I know but I wanna be sure

[alpine lava]

good game well played

good luck have fun

[gleaming parcel]

Oh

Yeah nah

[night token]

those are bad omens

[gleaming parcel]

Literally every time people say that, it’s when I lose

And I lose horribly

I did better than last season but I still suck.
And I won’t be able to play tomorrow because I have work.

[willow lion]

rip

[gleaming parcel]

Doesn’t matter, if que times were wider or I lived in a different timezone I could play but the tournament doesn’t care that people have jobs

[low basalt]

Any way to check how many games uve won or lost?

[rose perch]

the leaderboard and then press my ranking

[low basalt]

ty!

[pearl glade]

wait seriously?

[solar aspen]

damn, it really sucks when you realize you got really rusty by not playing TCG like two whole months

[pearl glade]

oh nvm,

thought you said you ququed into ls 15 times

[pearl glade]

dude

it feels like

the game has become completely different

[pearl fern]

It's quite a legitimate tournament

[solar aspen]

haha, I'm still getting beaten by Raiden SC

[pearl fern]

You can't really place while messing around

[night token]

Honestly, anyone who says glhf is basically telling you will lose w/o saying it

[pearl fern]

Lol

[pearl glade]

oh

should i stop saying it then?

[solar aspen]

I would be at the top of the leaderboard

[pearl glade]

🤔

[olive spire]

how do I see how many matches I have left?

[solar aspen]

laderboard too

leaderboard*, haha

[pearl glade]

who was playing raiden sc?

im surprised someone would play that in this patch's tournament

[night token]

they always say that to curse ppl's rolls and hand

[solar aspen]

can't remember the name, haha

[olive spire]

ooh ty

[solar aspen]

you're welcome!

[solar aspen]

probably someone coming back after a while like me

[pearl glade]

perhaps robowhiz

hmm...

i gotta cook up raiden sc deck

but with

magic

[solar aspen]

lmao

Raiden SC again

[pearl glade]

ngl i think old decks have merit in this pathc

just gotta integrate magic in it

i played mnec today

[low basalt]

i just found out

[pearl glade]

did fairly well

[low basalt]

wow i suck at tcg

[pearl glade]

🫂

[solar aspen]

lmao, first time?

[alpine lava]

i dont have enough invitation letters to make something new

actually i just lost a mirror recently

[low basalt]

[rich wasp]

ended on a loss

[pearl glade]

today was a good day

4-1

what a difference bringing the right deck works

[arctic valve]

[pearl glade]

highroll deck bad

[night token]

I still have opponents who still play dirty

[arctic valve]

seriously?

[rich wasp]

had to tune 6 to do normal lines in finaly this last game

[arctic valve]

ouch

[pearl glade]

dang

[rich wasp]

deadge

issok juts need to go 2-3 tmmrow

[low basalt]

a bird and a moth dominates the tournament

[low basalt]

I wouldve quit by then (no, actually, I wouldn't)

[violet rose]

This is why I asked why no one runs ninguang or paimon anymore.

[rich wasp]

1 toss up is a fine tech

[pearl fern]

Gilded is bestest now

Friendship ended with Paimon

Helmet is my new bestie

[pearl glade]

you have gilded tho

[pearl fern]

🤝

[low basalt]

watch them make gilded 2 cost and only do 1 omni

[arctic valve]

who needs a flying companion when you can have a stylist egiptian hat

[rich wasp]

most CN lists always just run 2 bestest no toss ups

[pearl fern]

Gilded 3 aligned

[rich wasp]

and we just have bestest 2

[pearl glade]

ngl i think people would still use it

[rich wasp]

but like running

2 bestest 1 toss up is always fine

as usual

[low basalt]

fr???

[violet rose]

I have been looking at decklists and I haven't seen a single deck with ninguang or bestest companion.

[pearl glade]

absolutely

[violet rose]

At least not the ones in the asia invitational

[rich wasp]

ya

[pearl fern]

Also good to see ya back meteorites! Feels like you've been gone a bit

[rich wasp]

CTG has been gone a bit

[violet rose]

I was never gone. I just never made it to top 16 🥹

[low basalt]

huh

[pearl fern]

[violet rose]

Didn't make it the last 2 seasons.

[pearl fern]

I mean it's hard now

[pearl glade]

think about it, say you already have yayoi down... or boar princess

[pearl fern]

I'm too washed too

[low basalt]

oh true

[violet rose]

Thing is I didn't know how to play against chongyun shenhe conduct and that deck was everywhere.

[rich wasp]

my 4 losses so far were

1 against MEW

[pearl fern]

2 cost 1 omni gilded would be a lot worse with yayoi because you can't ever make it +2

[rich wasp]

1 in a finaly mirror going second

1 in a finaly mirror going first

and then benny combo with a bad brick

[solar aspen]

stills, it seems xD

[pearl glade]

+1 and dice fixing is still good enough

[pearl fern]

It actually is a reasonable nerf

But makes the card kinda bland

[pearl glade]

it;s true that it would be alot worse but the value is there thaty people wouild still play

i think gilded is fine

it's my fav card in the pat for sure

@pearl fern bro

you gotta try magic mnec

shit's cracked

[pearl fern]

Honestly I'm not that into magic in general

I only like drawing my entire deck

And magic is just the best way to make use of drawing my whole deck

You can fit the package into any deck though since it's just a value package

So it makes sense

Khav and flowing were mistakes

Voru too

[pearl glade]

magic mnec is good because it can answer to the current meta decks

danemo, mew, yelan otk, ect

[violet rose]

No it has to be 3 different elements. Before magic tri-element decks weren't usually meta.

[pearl fern]

Right any rainbow deck

But it kind of makes resonance mostly redundant

[rich wasp]

gilded just being better woven

[pearl fern]

Not far off

[violet rose]

You actually lose a dice without the cards that return it to your hand.

[pearl fern]

Obv you just buff woven to 2 die

Ez fix powercreep

[rich wasp]

you either

tune down yayoi

or tune down gilded

and probably voru while ur at it

[pearl fern]

Lol

Release clam
Nerf clan release gilded
Nerf gilded release ???

[rich wasp]

yeah i dunno

[pearl fern]

Yayoi can exist if you didn't have voru and khav

But their existence makes yayoi too easy

There is almost 0 opportunity cost to run khav for most decks cuz it cycles so often

[rich wasp]

man im not gonna finish 1st in NA theres some guy with 3 losses

theres a crazy amount of people who

i havent interacted with before and are playing meta decks really well this ctg

most of the time i know the people who are good at the game

[pearl glade]

^

[low basalt]

ive had like
6-7 losses lik ehow

does rng love them or what

[pearl fern]

Prb stealing invitational sauce

Haha

[pearl glade]

they prob brought the right deck

[rose perch]

literally not true you played in EU last season

[low basalt]

paid the devil to win a side game of a game

[night token]

10/30

shittest season ever

[low basalt]

is this meta deck azhdaha/signora/TM

[rich wasp]

that was one of hte meta decks week 1

[pearl glade]

dunno, havent matched with that yet

[rich wasp]

azh has largely been replaced by yelan for a combo variant, and mona for an aggressive variant

[violet rose]

I never made it in NA though. I lost 4 games 1 day and it was over.

[arctic valve]

trying to top 16 on the 3 regions?

[low basalt]

what?? ive met like 4 who had the deck

[rich wasp]

there was a matchup chart i dont think im allowed to share

[night token]

this seaosns players are wayy too aggro

[rich wasp]

but id say theres like

[night token]

one really love wasting time by stalling and healing

[rich wasp]

6-7 pretty meta decks rn, with 4 of them being very popular

[violet rose]

I only participated in NA this time.

[alpine lava]

id prefer playing against aggro

[rose perch]

welcome to my life. Day is usually always rough for me. If I had a million alts and can constantly start over after day 1 I would be top 16 too.

[alpine lava]

finish matches faster

[low basalt]

i think rn tcg favours aggro

[rich wasp]

no

ctg format favors aggro

nobody wants to play 35 games on a slow deck

[violet rose]

What do you mean you're not allowed to share?

[rich wasp]

also the fancy new cards in general favor midrange style stuff

uh

someone made a matchup chart with their own data

[pearl glade]

bin meta ctg

[rich wasp]

is all

[night token]

they draw cards fast, get dice they need fast, and they go to the toilet to shit fast

[low basalt]

is that not allowed?

[alpine lava]

i presume its secret

[night token]

If some of my opponents were purposely using shady stuff, I would not be surpirsed

[violet rose]

If it's just their own data, the sample size is probably too small.

[low basalt]

oof mirror game

[rich wasp]

4 most popular decks:
mona wanderer eula
yelan signora thunder manifstation and variants
dehya jean lynette and variants
nahida fischl lyney
2 really great decks that arent seeing much play:
double hydro stall (barb + xq + diona, ning + barb + kokomi)
bennett combo (bennett keq + flex (azh or second pyro), bennett thunder manifstation 2pyro)

[pearl fern]

pyro flex

heh

fast 8 pyro flex

[night token]

I had an opponent who used ning + barb + kokomi

I never held my middle finger up high so much

[rose perch]

can you stop giving away information when you are safe in the leaderboard

[pearl fern]

yeah chikuwa played that

the information is already out there anyway

[rich wasp]

[pearl fern]

the invitational kinda makes it obvious

[thorny oyster]

isnt thats common knowledge tho :yaethunk:

[night token]

Tourney's alomst over any way by the time tomorrow comes

[thorny oyster]

you can even see it in asia invitational being played so much

those 6 decks

[pearl fern]

anyone who cares to read this chat would know about it mostly

[rich wasp]

in any case every single one of these decks runs arti package which is kinda

[pearl fern]

yeah the deck variety is

[rose perch]

ya we know it but some random guy is going to come in and see it and then there are no easy games

[pearl fern]

not great

[night token]

It's like eating the same food over and over again until it numbs your mouth

[pliant otter]

Can you point me in the direction of a bennet combo list you like?

[pearl fern]

i mean lynette doesn't

the one lone resonance

[rich wasp]

[pearl fern]

I knew it all along, anemo resonance is the true sauce

[rich wasp]

lemme see if i can find a list

[pearl fern]

the best resonance

the last bastion of woven

[thorny oyster]

bennett keqing azhdaha trust

[night token]

One my opponent's dvalin really farted all my character cards on the field

[rose perch]

you gotta swap so it misses one of the swirls else it is a nightmare

[night token]

W/ shitty cards and shitty dice rolls, I have no chance

[rich wasp]

maybe this

there was some video on bilibili playing this idk where it is anymore

i also stole this list from glasse so

[night token]

Aww yass, gilded dreams and the pink artifacts

no surpise

[rich wasp]

yeah so every single meta deck rn runs 2 gilded 2 voru

or 2 totm 2 voru

[night token]

Every single one

[rich wasp]

actually

yelan combo doesnt run 2 vorus

they run 2 khav

mb

[safe plaza]

How's leaderboards?

[night token]

It looks the same

[arctic valve]

tight as fk

[rose perch]

the number 2 guy is an invader everyone else I kinda expected

[rich wasp]

id expect the floor to be like

8-9 losses

[cursive viper]

where are you?

[arctic valve]

you expected me there?

[rich wasp]

maybe 10 if ur pushing it

[night token]

Some names I recognized, the rest are prison numbers

[safe plaza]

I forgot to sign up

I'm in Shanghai

Hmph

[cursive viper]

hmmm 35 games in 2 sessions sounds good surely i try to get on lb

[rich wasp]

[vestal knot]

Hi all, what do we do if we accidentally started a heated battle instead of normal battle?
gicancel, quit the game, concede and restart, or...?

[rose perch]

Just wondering if you lost to someone but they later got banned or left the server. will it count as a win at the end?

[rich wasp]

you can play it out if both players agree to or just restart

[vestal knot]

how do we restart without getting a strike

[night token]

communication

[arctic valve]

is key

[vestal knot]

is the strke not automatic

[alpine lava]

concede and then play a normal match

[rich wasp]

no

[vestal knot]

oh ok

[rich wasp]

it kind of is

but also not really

[vestal knot]

thanks!

[violet rose]

Won't that screw up the auto-verification process at the end?

[alpine lava]

dont think so

it happened to me but

my opponent conceded the first one and lost the second so idk

[frigid sundial]

surely I can finish all my quotas tomorrow

[low basalt]

omg hi layer

[rich wasp]

still cant believe the block is only 4 hours

[low basalt]

its
Katsuki

[frigid sundial]

[rich wasp]

could be 6 and still have the entire queue session be full of players

[frigid sundial]

Nice to see you here lol

[low basalt]

hehe just putting my skills to use

turns out i suck

[frigid sundial]

Or even 5 could be ok

[willow lion]

im never recovering from the 1-4 yesterday

my mental is shattered

[frigid sundial]

4 is too short

[low basalt]

man
12/21 games won

9 lost

[frigid sundial]

Thats not bad for the first time

[willow lion]

im at 19-11

im not making top 16

[low basalt]

wish i was better kek

not like i wanna get past prelims anyway

[low basalt]

19 wins?

[willow lion]

yes

[low basalt]

dang noice

[olive spire]

I'm using my bloom deck bc I'm only familiar with Sumeru characters

[willow lion]

even if i go 5-0 tmr i dont think i can make top 16

💀

[low basalt]

hows it going so far

[fervent shard]

Timaeus?

[low basalt]

i just realized

theres prolly some crazy dude outthere whio has 0 losses

[willow lion]

no there arent

[low basalt]

or like 2-3 losses by the end of the prelims

[olive spire]

if I started matching before 11 but the match starts after does it still count

[willow lion]

#1 is 28-2

[frigid sundial]

0-0

[willow lion]

yes

[tropic slate]

yeah 28-2 is the best record so far

[olive spire]

Irl cyno

[tropic slate]

across all regions

26-4 in europe and na

[low basalt]

2 losses is so stupid

[olive spire]

who is this person?? that's insane

[frigid sundial]

With current meta 0 loss is probably... impossible

[low basalt]

cyno if he didnt touch grass or sand

[low basalt]

+rng

[olive spire]

HAHAHA

[low basalt]

having rng on ur side is a crime

they should make the winner of cats tail gathering wear a cyno cosplay they can bring home /j

just now realizing its shortened to ctg, which is switched aorund tcg

[pearl glade]

no need to take ctg that seriously tbh

the info's already public anyways

i heard about it like

a week ago

[night token]

Yeah, it's not like the meta will be the same forever

[rich wasp]

bennett NA NA timaeus opener is pretty good

my guess anyways

[twilit lodge]

si exposing my sauce :pitawtf:

[slow heart]

U guys don’t play all stall match in ctg?

[ember river]

Play two hydro stall tomorrow when everyone rushing to clear their quotas : P

[rose perch]

lol that is a good plan they might even concede so they can play more matches

[ember river]

Except the only down part is I will be trying to use all my quotas as well

[rotund lichen]

seems like it would make more sense to not have new quota on the last day

[polar barn]

[solar aspen]

wait, does it end tomorrow? D: can I play at night too? or only the morning schedule will be open?

[polar barn]

night as well?

[wet bluff]

I think so lol

[solar aspen]

nice, I must win twice more and I'm done, haha

[polar barn]

gl

[willow lion]

queued into gold dragonspine 3 out of 5 games

its so over for me

[twilit steppe]

18 wins 17 losses.. this is probably one of my worst result so far

[willow lion]

i went 20-15

went 1-4 on two of the days 😔

[twilit steppe]

Wow that is still better than me at least 😭

[willow lion]

what did u play mainly

[twilit steppe]

Uh Fischl Lyney Nahida but like very badly except for the first 2 days

[willow lion]

i pretty much used the same

• mew

[willow lion]

@rich wasp how do u deal with DH ning with lyney fischl nahida

or do we just cope

😔

[fast frost]

I need to practice more

And watch how the top players play

[tropic slate]

well, there's just been the Asia Winter Invitational you can look at, if you want, for that

check the Astra Carnival youtube page, go to Live, it'll be the prior 4 days

[summer berry]

Asia invitational

[twilit steppe]

Hm I haven't watched this at all, maybe I should

[willow lion]

why are there so much misplay on this asia invitational

mf let the timer ran out is wild

[twilit lodge]

u ask me

[eternal musk]

stage pressure

autodice cringe

[wet bluff]

f

[polar barn]

we just cope

that's one of counter deck

u either higroll or u loose

[willow lion]

even if u highroll some god hand u still loose by a lot

[night token]

I am ready to lose!

[cursive gazelle]

im on a 7 loss streak

[night token]

My opponents telling me glhf means I'm gonna lose guarantee

[pearl glade]

Bro how

What deck

[cursive gazelle]

not leaking my deck to lose more

[night token]

Yep, no leaks!

[gleaming parcel]

We still have games to play, most people don’t like leaking decks

[pearl glade]

You have nothing to lose

[night token]

No spoilers

[gleaming parcel]

Yeah they don’t believe that

[cursive gazelle]

[pearl glade]

Play mew

Wins ezpz

[cursive gazelle]

mew is even more highroll

[pearl glade]

A lot less than magic tbf

[night token]

who is this player name "Disguised Puss?"

[pearl glade]

Kirano

Also

[cursive gazelle]

i just need my gilded to not sink to the bottom 5 cards in my deck

[pearl glade]

Meow meow!

[night token]

I swear some players really know how to make their usernames ambiguous

[pearl glade]

Why kirano not interested in prince cup and prize money

All that games for what

[night token]

pleasure

torture

SM?

[crystal tapir]

Went from 5 losses to 9 ;-;
Fun times

Maybe its my wakeup call to stop playing random decks

[pliant otter]

Are the seasons for this monthly then?

[gleaming parcel]

It’s a littler longer apart than once a month

[night token]

Usually a week after the new cards come out?

[eternal musk]

i'm almost certain that ctgs happened at least once per patch in previous editions. If that serves as any reference

[slow mason]

we had a one patch break last time

[eternal musk]

sure, though this was understandable

[slow mason]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1015000796355641424.gif?size=96&quality=lossless

[tropic slate]

towards the middle of the patch yes

[pearl glade]

ngl feels like i have to read leaks like a month before mpatch

ctg few week into patch felt like such a short time to get used to the meta

[thick charm]

are you me||owna||

[cursive gazelle]

[thick charm]

anyway going for the 12 match ||losing|| streak

queue for free win

[cursive gazelle]

🫂

[rose perch]

huh suddenly the ui changed?

[tropic slate]

yep that's new today

[rose perch]

ok as long as it is the right one.

[tropic slate]

definitely agree with this, I spent like the entirety of last week, before ctg, practicing and trying to learn the meta

did pay off

but it's always going to be like this after such a significant content update

next patch the transition will be easier

[thick charm]

got a legendary room number

better than 70000 but nonetheless worse than 69420

[rose perch]

wait next patch is massive though...

[tropic slate]

no, this patch was the massive one

like 3.7 was

[steep hound]

It was 3 wins to get the card back right?

[tropic slate]

in between we have maybe 3 or 4 new character cards and maybe up to 5 or 6 new action cards

per patch

some may be centralizing, like Itto was, but then some just aren't, like Lisa or Amber

if anything it's the action cards that can shake up the meta (e.g. ocean-hued clam, lyresong, unseen razor+king's squire/moonpiercer), but it's going to be a much smaller departure than this patch was

[tropic slate]

yep, if you have 3 wins that's all you need

[night token]

Welp, I lost on a losing note

[tropic slate]

D:

[rose perch]

man wtf this yelan deck attacked me 6 times in 1 turn

[night token]

Minty meat rolls

a lot of dice?

[rose perch]

his hand was 2 lyres and glided with 2 minty roll at round 2

without any need to tune

[night token]

That's a really hard overkill

[rose perch]

yelan burst rdy one round 2 cuz he minty roll turn 1 for 3 attacks

[night token]

These lyre and gilded dreams abuse has really gone too far

[pearl glade]

my grandparenmts want me to drive somewhere

cant finish tavern

at least i got 3-0 today

mcd hashbrown is my lucky charms frfr

[tropic slate]

oh no

queue lasts another 2.5 hours, finish on your phone?

[pearl glade]

i think i may have to

[slow star]

i'm freeeeee

[edgy orbit]

good lord my rng tonight has been awful ive just not gotten any of the cards i need nor any good dice rolls

[pearl glade]

what deck?

[edgy orbit]

nilou bloom ive just been getting awful luck getting any of the dice i need plus the game keeps giving me healing items right off the bat when i dont need those right away 😭

[pearl glade]

yeah thats really unlucky

bloom is usually good deck for not bricking

[edgy orbit]

it performs well when i dont get super unlucky three games in a row

[thick charm]

rip only got 8 game streak

[edgy orbit]

even during an npc fight my luck is bad what did i do to you tcg

[pearl glade]

you can try to post your decklist

and we can try to fix it i guess

thats one way to prevent bricking

[edgy orbit]

ill see if i can look through it and figure out what i can do to fix it myself first n if it still struggles then i might

im trying my best to learn everything on my own so

[pearl glade]

the simplest diagnosis would prob be adding more draw cards

[rich wasp]

the solution is running a rainbow deck and putting in gilded dreams, the best dice fixer

and draw card

[night token]

rinse and repeat

[arctic valve]

omg i'm qualifying

[thick charm]

not gonna lie after doing resonance since like day 1 of tcg, gilded dreams scary

maybe for next season I bring scumbag noelle dehya barbara to have three colors

[dim ginkgo]

it's the way I could've easily won my last game but I threw so hard

D:

[twilit lodge]

hello na players

you have been spared

i couldnt finish na on time

[rose perch]

the cut off is like 9 losses

[rich wasp]

went 4-1 today so no 1st global

guess ill settle for 1st in NA

[cursive viper]

washed i guess

[night token]

The amount of cards ppl drew is crazy

There's hardly anyone who has one card short in their hand

[thick charm]

won less games, won more primogems

[pearl glade]

I wanted to queue robowhiz

[tropic slate]

and that's a wrap, good cat's tail prelims everyone

for anyone who cares, here's a detailed record of my run

[pearl glade]

pog

good work everyone

[supple marsh]

wait what is the maximum length of a match

it's not over for some

idk

[arctic valve]

love how you emphasized my arcane on day 1 😂

[pearl glade]

it should be over; at least for for prelims

[tropic slate]

I specifically tried to note down arcanes whenever I remembered, just in case of rematch

which did happen a couple of times. You didn't use the same deck when we rematched on day 6

but I was preparing for if you did

[arctic valve]

neither you did

[tropic slate]

true

[arctic valve]

you played me danemo

[supple marsh]

I mean there should be matches that are still happening, no? matches don't automatically end mid-way after queue ends

[tropic slate]

there might be, yes

[polar barn]

can anyone share LBs with all the names

[arctic valve]

i had a horrid day 5 so i swapped

[tropic slate]

within an hour those will be done

I don't think any of them will impact the current top 16

[polar barn]

eu specifically

EU peeps sleeping

ig

no one responded

[polar barn]

thanks

[shut kraken]

wow nomad for eu?

REAL?

[polar barn]

that's not me

my daughter

[shut kraken]

sure

anyways congrats

🫂

also silkylove nice

!!

[pearl glade]

that is a very interesting deck

[shut kraken]

so

let me steal some meta decks

[polar barn]

qiqi wgs is meta

[shut kraken]

[tropic slate]

which one?

realized I didn't notate my own deck

[shut kraken]

bro

dont be zenin

madge

[polar barn]

[tropic slate]

for the first day I used mona / jean / thunder manifestation, then for most of the rest I used lynette / dehya / jean

counterpicked MEW against a couple of FNL decks the second time I encountered them

[shut kraken]

wow

[pearl glade]

mona jean tm

[shut kraken]

mona jean tm

REAL?

[tropic slate]

that one I used in the gitcg weekly today, I'm fond of it

[polar barn]

ayo sauce?

[shut kraken]

yeah you did get 4-1!

[tropic slate]

but it has a poor matchup against FNL so it's not great for cat's tail

[shut kraken]

conrgtas on that as well

congrats

also is finaly meta or what

[tropic slate]

ABCw1SUNEVDh3igPEhCA8aQPCiBB9jAQE4EBCDQQE7FAC8YQDOFgD8kQDPGQE9ERDTAA

fnl is meta yeah

it's very highroll

[shut kraken]

most finaly wins are fucking mirrors

[tropic slate]

but extremely powerful if it does

I don't like it much because I don't have good enough luck with it most of the time. Same issue I had with RXN

I attribute that to just "the game doesn't want me to play it"

[shut kraken]

haha

i see

well i got destroyed in ctg

cant say much there

[tropic slate]

practice makes perfect

and there's always next time, too

[shut kraken]

i did no practice haha

just went into it blindy

blindly*

but i only played like 11 matches

[polar barn]

@supple marsh

share Asia lb as well

🦥

[supple marsh]

remind me at <t:1705295400:t> so I can get the other two leaderboards, I guess

that should be the last possible time for results submission

[polar barn]

oh it's still on going

my bad

i forgot morning queue

[polar barn]

sure

[supple marsh]

aight give me one minute

[polar barn]

omg

right on time

[polar barn]

thanks vro

keep connecting people

[crystal tapir]

screenshot without id... how?

[tropic slate]

also, what determines whether the names are faded out or not

[pearl fern]

You just need discord to cache user to not show id

So if you see them in chat

Or if you can ping them somewhere and look up their profile

Preferably not where they will be notified

[crystal tapir]

how?

[pearl fern]

Like i said if they show up in your chat

Or you can force cache by pinging the ID probably in a private server

[desert grove]

How many participants total were there?

[arctic valve]

guys, how are the brackets alloted, 1st vs 16th, 2nd to 15th... ?

[twilit lodge]

3 invaders in na top 16

[slow star]

i was 17th haha

rip my welkin

[arctic valve]

nooooooooooo venguiiiiiiiiiiss

[supple marsh]

standard single elimination seeding, yep

[arctic valve]

[safe plaza]

@cursive viper

Where TFT clan tag

@craggy cloak LET'S GOOO

[pearl glade]

@safe plaza do you actually play team fighting tactics?

[safe plaza]

Yes

I forget if I made Emerald this season or if I'm still Plat

Was playing a lot of League

And I'm Emerald in League too lol

[pearl glade]

:0

[arctic valve]

Lia hard carry

[solar aspen]

Did they increase primogems rewards?or Did I got luckier this season?

[supple marsh]

Primogem rewards were tweaked, yep

players with less than 30 wins should see more Primogems their way

(though for what it's worth there are only 6 people with 30 wins anyway so overall there are more Primogems given out compared to the previous two seasons)

[solar aspen]

Niceeee

Thanks for the info :3

[thorny oyster]

wait wheres sherry

[polar barn]

i think

@thorny oyster pink berry

[thorny oyster]

oh i see

[polar barn]

the current LB is before/after adjustments ?

[sick blaze]

Verification phase will take at least a few days right?

[supple marsh]

yep

though I believe anyone who needs their results adjusted would have played the correct number of matches

[eternal musk]

~1513

[ember river]

That's all servers combined?or just NA

[arctic valve]

i think thats all servers

[strange peak]

So how was this season? Again... not having time to play a single match sux

[twilit steppe]

It's a disaster for me I skill issue way too much it is probably good experience for others though

[sick blaze]

What final score?

[twilit steppe]

18 wins 17 losses

[sick blaze]

You'll do better next time for sure :worrypat:

[twilit steppe]

I hope so too, thank you

[arctic valve]

Balanced, as everything should be

[eternal musk]

all servers
but that's on me since i only played my games on the last day/window and won the first one so it's very likely that there are at least a few hundred people who played and lost the first game or who registered and didn't play any games below that.

[eternal musk]

again 100% winrate, but no time to play 35 games as usual, at least guaranteed cardback.
the difficult life of a salaryman.

[ember river]

Thanks for the info

[proud yarrow]

I misplayed so much during the tourney lol

[desert grove]

Thank you, that's good to know!

[shut kraken]

what

oh nvm aesz is not replying to stellini

[safe plaza]

Binzu has a daughter?

[safe plaza]

[muted cairn]

[polar barn]

[summer berry]

[safe plaza]

Who's your other parent

[safe plaza]

OK

[muted cairn]

@cursive viper where is mom

[cursive viper]

[safe plaza]

@cursive viper clan leader can you give Nomad an invite

[summer berry]

Wait binzu is the clan leader?

[cursive viper]

ahmm

[safe plaza]

Yes

It was all his idea

[cursive viper]

you can do it

[safe plaza]

I'm on phone

[summer berry]

I don't play tft

[safe plaza]

Sorry

[muted cairn]

[safe plaza]

Free to play

[muted cairn]

[safe plaza]

Who is mom

[summer berry]

Although getting invited so I can spy on binzu's tcg streams sounds nice

[safe plaza]

It's like 90% TFT

[cursive viper]

why would you spy on me

[pearl glade]

for the sauce

[safe plaza]

He wants to coach you for next Prince Cup so he gets EU shoutout too

[summer berry]

[cursive viper]

he already got one

[pearl glade]

more is good

[safe plaza]

He needs another for 2024

This is 2024 S1

[summer berry]

Issok

[cursive viper]

dont worry i will give shoutout even if i beat him in finals

[summer berry]

I'll give myself my own shoutout

[muted cairn]

btw how did this meme happened?

your sig?

[summer berry]

It's because I started referring to myself as the honored one

[safe plaza]

Can someone explain this lore to me

[pearl glade]

i am not sure. seem to have originated from SUC which i am not privy too.

[summer berry]

And then one day I started doing it in chinese

[muted cairn]

im in suc but i have been too busy to scroll up everytime

[safe plaza]

I'm in SUC in spirit

[muted cairn]

everyone is suc in spirit

[pearl glade]

[pearl glade]

lmao

[pine heron]

This is straight up lie, the truth is that

Only one person knows the truth

[safe plaza]

Woah

The Kevin slander

[wet bluff]

I didn't get to do my last 5 matches AAAAAA-

I was mistaken and thought that today was the last day

[fervent grail]

Today is the last day, they only had a morning window, I missed my last 5 matches too, VERY EFFING MAD

[pearl glade]

how was your performance so far?

[gleaming parcel]

I didn’t get to play either, I worked last night. I only did 30 matches not 35

[fervent grail]

Was in top 50 yesterday, so wasn't gunna get top 16, but I was reporting on tournament meta and statistics on my hoyolab page and now I can't complete it.

[gleaming parcel]

Wdym stats

[pearl glade]

yeah thats unfortunate...

[fervent grail]

Usage rates of decks, people using gilded dreams combo, etcetera

[pearl glade]

hmu some other day if you wanna match tho

[gleaming parcel]

Ike what decks people were using?

[gleaming parcel]

35 games based on your skill level isn’t a large enough sample to get that information and have it be viable

[fervent grail]

Pretty sure it was. I played people as high as rank 2 regularly.

[pearl glade]

yeah 35 games is good enough for meaningful stats

[gleaming parcel]

But that doesn’t give a sample of the over all usage of a deck; doesn’t tell you what decks are the best or not

Just cause someone is in 2nd place with a specific deck doesn’t mean that deck is the best in the circuit.

[cursive gazelle]

if enough ppl keep track

[fervent grail]

It's way better than getting info from arena of champions, lol.

[gleaming parcel]

There are plenty of people who make it into the finals and use non meta / non reccomended decks

[cursive gazelle]

oh like what?

[gleaming parcel]

I saw a ton of signora yelan thunder manifestation decks
But they didn’t always win.

[cursive gazelle]

i mean no deck always wins

heavily depends on pilot skills

[gleaming parcel]

Having a specific deck doesn’t mean you’ll win, and not having a specific deck means you’ll lose either

[pearl glade]

@fervent grail here's some interesting stat on the current meta if youre interested

[gleaming parcel]

Luck is a factor too. Rolls and the cards you play.

[pearl glade]

coursetesy of robowhiz

[fervent grail]

I went in with signora, ice cicin, eramite and got top 50. I refuse to play meta, lol.

[pearl glade]

BASED!

[cursive gazelle]

aggro

[gleaming parcel]

Yeahhh I saw #4 the most.
I did see 1, 2, and 5 but not very often

[fervent grail]

Of the meta decks here's my data
2 klee decks raiden bennet
5 nahida decks w/ fischl and lyney
3 nahida w/ lyney
3 Wanderer decks
6 Thunder Manifestation deck

[gleaming parcel]

yeah and I didn’t use any of those decks

[cursive gazelle]

sounds about right

[fervent grail]

That's just you. There were a few original decks and a couple signora decks, but I only recorded meta decks.

[pearl glade]

sounds about right

[gleaming parcel]

I’m just saying, unless you sampled every single person in the tournament who played a match, it’s not accurate information l. Just an educated guess

[pearl glade]

@fervent grail you didnt get any double anemo decks?

[fervent grail]

Expecting a lyney, Lynette, gilded dreams, and possibly gilded dreams combo nerfs

Only two, and both had jean

I beat them both

[pearl glade]

nice

that deck is meta btw

[gleaming parcel]

Just be open to anything, most popular decks should always be taken with a grain of salt cause it’s not a guarantee you’ll face them

[fervent grail]

I switch a lot with my deck, so it gave me the advantage

[crystal tapir]

@pearl glade do you play 2nemo with fatui or dehya?

[fervent grail]

My biggest issue is shield/heal decks, because mine is designed to rapid fire reactions and kill before people can get that dumb gilded dreams combo

But I only fought one shield deck

[pearl glade]

i tried both but didnt like playing it.

[cursive gazelle]

which is a good choice since not too many ppl will bring stall decks into prelim

i did see some though

[crystal tapir]

no one brings stall yet everyone is bringing yelan

[pearl glade]

only danemo i vibed with was my cope deck with mona

[fervent grail]

Lol, I did see quite a few yelan

Usually with nahida and lyney

[gleaming parcel]

I saw yelan signora thunder manifest a ton

[fervent grail]

Saw one in a Wanderer deck too i think

Wanna play a game @gleaming parcel I need to get at least one in tonight, lol

[gleaming parcel]

I can, I just signed out of genshin though so it will take me a minute to get back in

[fervent grail]

Lol ok

[gleaming parcel]

idk why I feel like you want to play me to either beat me up or shut me up or criticize me though

[cursive gazelle]

idk yelan tm signora is actually fun to play

actually its just tm and signora

[fervent grail]

Lol. I just wanna see how you play cause you seem knowledgeable

[cursive gazelle]

[gleaming parcel]

I can’t tell if that’s serious or sarcastic

[fervent grail]

I'm not serious about anything

Except maybe getting a damn CD circlet for Furina that's not terrible

[gleaming parcel]

If you wanna play, what’s your uid

[fervent grail]

603615672

[pearl glade]

huh

[gleaming parcel]

lol never mind

[rose perch]

Since I am garbage at tcg it is back to original genshin

My Guide

[safe plaza]

Huh

[ancient spindle]

[night token]

[pearl glade]

@gaunt moth @crystal tapir ctg deck tierlist

*based on viability of deck, and feasibility of playing during the tournament.

[gaunt moth]

Oh awesome! Ngl it's a surprise seeing Yelan OTK at the lowest

After every experience of it being a nightmare

Also is Azhdaha magic the boss deck or something else?

[pearl glade]

it's at the bottom of the tierlist because the deck is totally dedicated to comboing with yelan burst
and yelan is very easily disrupted before she can burst and the deck's game plan just falls apart
not to mention it's so easy to brick too

[pearl glade]

azdahamagic is azdaha thunder manifestation and signora

[gaunt moth]

OH I SEE

[gaunt moth]

I think this deck is really fun, glad to have played it during the tourney, Azhdaha has made many clutches

[gaunt moth]

I suppose, although at the same time being able to get Yelan right away is still a challenge

I also had someone playing the deck completely change the rotation and focused on Signora + Thunder SC

Oh well

Is the Overburn deck here? Afraid the other names here are unfamiliar

[pearl glade]

are you referring to tm overload?

[gaunt moth]

Oh Lyney, Nahida, Fischl deck?

[pearl glade]

ah

FiNaLy is at the top

A tier

[gaunt moth]

OH

Creative name honestly

Also I just realized TM Overload is Thunder Manifestation Overload–

[pearl glade]

yeet

[gaunt moth]

Scary deck

Danemo rose up fast, impressive

[pearl glade]

scary but not so scarey when you snipe key characters :p

[gaunt moth]

True

[pearl glade]

it just falls apart

i guess in tm overload

bennet is kinda like yelan

[gaunt moth]

Yeah, and well Bennett and Klee have always been consistently good in any deck

Thanks for the ping btw this is good research!

[pearl glade]

thank you 😄

[gaunt moth]

Wonder if any of them are gonna go down or not

[pearl glade]

im sure others disagree with my personal tier list

it's mostly subjective at the end of day

[gaunt moth]

True

Hmm, maybe I should make one of those for fun

[arctic valve]

No rxn on that tier 😒

[eternal musk]

[thorny oyster]

@gaunt moth if you want deck performance list thats based on statistics

check this site

https://gjfleo.github.io/summoners-summit/teams/4-3

you can also click specific deck to see certain matchups etc

pretty sure you can also see cn tournament result from that site i think (?)

[gaunt moth]

Oh okay! Ty! ^^

[thorny oyster]

theres also this funny matchup graph

[sick blaze]

Where RXN

[gaunt moth]

I'm surprised with some of the win rate stats...

Like with Shenhe SC

0%...

[thorny oyster]

apperantly it doesnt win in cn :gldge:

only 2 games tho

so like

small sample size

[gaunt moth]

Ah– it's a shame though, Superconduct decks are good

[thorny oyster]

yeah i think the environment is very competitive there :gldge: either you run the absolute best decks or you lose

[gaunt moth]

That's like the current situation rn too ;

[thorny oyster]

yeah but id like to see some cooking here and there sometimes :gldge:

[gaunt moth]

Same it's getting a bit old now seeing the same decks over and over

[sick blaze]

There are always our weeklies to watch

[proud yarrow]

How many people participated in the america server tourney? I'm curious

[tropic slate]

I don't think we know for sure and they don't make that public for some reason

but my ballpark guess is between 300 and 400

[eternal musk]

probably a little over 400 people played at least one game

a victory with one match guaranteed 366+ position in the last window of the last day

so you can expect to have a few dozen people who only played 1 game and lost

[safe plaza]

Clarification question: can you technically qualify for a Serious Showdown/Prince Cup not in the region you live in? And you get ID locked to that region only?

[supple marsh]

gosh Lia why are you still here it's already past midnight and you have matches to cast tomorrow
great question though

[fathom ermine]

I made some modifications to my deck, can someone help me test it?

605724288

[safe plaza]

Was on my mind

[low basalt]

Hi, when and how would we get the rewards from prelim phase?

[tropic slate]

they'lll be sent out eventually in 1-3 business months

to your ingame mail

[low basalt]

Thank u!

[thick charm]

more like 10

no actually like unironically 10 for the card back. But the primos will arrive earlier

[tropic slate]

now that they've actually successfully executed the card back thing once, it might be slightly quicker this time

fingers crossed

[night token]

Business months

That is soo accurate!

[crystal tapir]

Dead chat when no ctg 😔

[subtle ibex]

[pearl glade]

sealed salad

salad... but locked

but with what?

:thinking_face_emoji:

[subtle ibex]

locked in freshness, airtight from the factory

[polar barn]

[crystal tapir]

help salad sealed me cant open

[subtle ibex]

oh that's where you're mistaken

once you're sealed in... there's no escape

trust me i've tried

[gleaming parcel]

What constitutes a business month

[tropic slate]

it's like a regular month except business

like when they say "we'll get back to you in 5-10 business days"

which can mean anywhere from 1 real day to like 16 real days depending on timing

[gleaming parcel]

oof

The hardest part is waiting for rewards

[night token]

Sealed Salad in bags or plastic containers?

[polar barn]

yes

[summer berry]

You get used to waiting for rewards

[crystal tapir]

Just forget about the rewards and youll naturally be happy when it comes out of nowhere

[nocturne kestrel]

true

surprise gift🥰

[polar barn]

i never was goood enough for prizes

🚮

[eternal musk]

maybe i should do a version of this with the cardbacks

[twilit steppe]

Oh I am like this at the start.. at first I just tried it because I was bored and then I realized it's kind of fun haha

[gaunt moth]

This was me especially after getting bummed by a lot of losses but then you realize it's still really fun

[crystal tapir]

The fun part about losing is figuring out the reason and improving from it

https://tenor.com/view/gg-gif-27092095

[eternal musk]

i think it's a trait of every competitive player to continue having fun even when they haven't even realized why they're losing

[gaunt moth]

Yeah! When I got the epiphany I truly enjoyed playing after learning from past mistakes losing doesn't bother me really anymore

After that you just learn a lot of things you can apply to your future matches

[pearl glade]

Tcg is really nice

[thorny oyster]

^^

[pearl glade]

I don’t really feel as bad losing in this game

If i lose in StarCraft I can’t help but feel frustrated

Or any other fps i guess

[thick charm]

me

mhy convinced me to give more money to The Pokémon Company than mhy themselves

[crystal tapir]

Genshin gave me option to delete old quests… now i cant play tcg…

Bruhhhhh

[summer berry]

4990.10 MB of data

Surely worth

[supple marsh]

wait a minute

are you telling me that TCG counts as an "old quest"

[eternal musk]

this is probably the case

[muted cairn]

If you have alts, your alt most likely need more data cuz some old quests arent cleared....

I do the delete old resources too but I make sure to not click that on main account

[night token]

[gaunt moth]

Is it deleting old quest resources cause I did that before the update and my TCG was fine

Hi! Sorry if this question has been answered before 😅
But do we know something about the rewards for participating in the tournament? Mainly that card back.
Thanks in advance!

[subtle ibex]

the card back I don't think has been revealed yet may have to wait til next season or so for more info

[ember heath]

Thanks!
