does that mean you have to make seperate genshin account?
or ycan you use same account but different server
I also have a ps4, not a ps5
what do you think the people on different servers do
I cannot do that
The PlayStation 4's excellent software, online services, and contents in the PS Store contribute to the system's status as a legendary gaming console. Unfortunately, not every PS4 user can access the full catalog of content in the PlayStation Store. Some media may be accessible in one country but not another. It's understandable that PS4 owners ...
another 5 second google search
some people get banned for multi genshin account
multi genshin account is also against tos
so you’re saying I have to be super labor intensive manually change my entire PlayStation every single time I want to play on a different region in genshin, while making not just a new genshin account, but a new PlayStation account, and a new email to confirm that PlayStation and genshin account
HoYoLAB is the community forum for Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd, with official information about game events, perks, fan art, and other exciting content.
anyways this whole discussion would be minimised if the mods made very clear policy
while breaking genshin terms of service and potentially messing up my PlayStation
And potentially making me unable to play genshin at all
uh..... switching regions on playstation things have been a thing since the psp....
or unable to access my main account
literally sony has been the most friendly of the big three gaming publishers in regards to region locking

and what lol
But I can’t just long into my genshin account from a different region on my PlayStation
you..... can
i don't think so
im almost certain
YouTubers have multiple accounts
every PlayStation that uses either my genshin account or my PlayStation account will always be in NA
If you wanna get technical most of the alts are from people who brought accounts. Selling and buying accounts is definitely against tos
for f2p and p2w
you've got tons of time between queues to switch
I mean you have to think what you are saying is unfair
The opponents you are saying is making it unfair really needs to get to like top 4 to make the effort even worth it, they need to not only go through 35 games but get to the really top to get a good amount of money
fwiw
there's a much easier argument to take that you're not even doing
ie filling up spots that would normally be filled by people from that region
even if they are really good players that's a lot if you are not getting to at least like top 3
but you're not arguing that LOL
The only way I could have 2 accounts is by making a new PlayStation account AND a new genshin account.
But to play in a bit nA server I’d have to also switch my whole region on my PlayStation
it takes like 5min to make a new ps account
uh
changing regions does not ruin your playstation lol
you aren’t understanding my point haruno
yes, because there isn't one.....
You’re asking me to break genshin a terms of service
theres no TOS
And asking me to do something that is unrealistic and not worth the trouble
against multiple acc
im pretty sure
it takes more time to finish a whale mirror, than it does to do something you say isn't worht the trouble
if you dont want to have multiple ps accounts then you could use a phone/pc

Im pretty sure they even had support from customer service, unless you are making extremely large amount of accs for acc selling

im sure most out of region players are doing that
Not if my phone or pc can’t handle the storage
Genshin is a massive game in terms of file size, my computer and my phone can’t handle that.
but there's also people without a ps4 either...
That’s why I play on console
Isn't Hoyoverse using Cloud to combat the storage space in mobile?
But no one ever seems to understand Console struggles

I don’t have enough time to catch up on the games I missed since I have a job.
Nice drama going on here 
i dont really think the console struggles are asian players fault 

PC master race, cant compute console issues.
you're just making more and more excuses at this point
I never said it was
Have you ever played genshin on console?
anyways jokes aside. We are ACTIVELY reviewing ALL reports, Nothing gets swept under the rug.
this also includes and not limited to doxing private channel conversations which user have NO involvement in.
Coop loads slow, so people think you’re afk just cause you take a little longer to load in so they kick you for not moving in 12 seconds
You try typing without access to a keyboard and only a controller, it’s really annoying and takes forever
You also can’t switch servers because your PlayStation and genshin account are linked
And you’re just “well buy a new PC or new phone to play on that” and “just switch your region” and “just make a new account and new PlayStation account”
You’re not hearing me at all on
Console is all I can play on, and that limits me as a player.
was it against the rules
i literally only play on mobile btw
You’re just trying to find any and every fault with me and make me the villain. Again.
No one here ever seems to listen to me, and seems to always say I did or said something I didn’t
Well good for you, I only play on console.
that is to say the worst way to play genshin
Well it’s the only thing I have access too so
not to mention tcg isnt a fps lol
And it makes me better at dodging than other players 
its literally the first rule:

well i only shared what was already public
if they didn't bring it in public first
there was no reason
to do that

Me asking a question “what do I do if a player confirms to using an alternate account”
I didn’t name the person by name
I didn’t share anything beyond asking a question
this
none of those channels conversations are PUBLIC
i mean i don't have the acess
Then how did you get those images?
prob shared on another tcg server?
The only one who could see into that thread was me, the person I matched with, and the moderation team.
So how did Nomad get the images?
ppl complain about others all the time so I assume it's just one of the public tcg server
What public tcg server?
you realize that even if those images were distributed outside of the server, that you were the one that has posted them here where Tavern and Hoyoverse's ToS applies, thereby making you liable for breaking those rules?
theres GITCG one from reddit and pretty sure theres some hyv tcg
basically non-official communities
discord servers
I mean
Oh that makes sense
Just other discord channels
ok but like it says to not share the content of the match room to the people involved
not the outsiders
those images should never be public in the first place, and it's something we will investigate internally and take action on so things like this won't happen again in the future
its like sharing leaks here, just becasue you are NOT the leaker, doesnt mean you still don't get in trouble.
i only shared because
someone was wrongly accused of somthing he didn't do in public
also by using those words, I mean you still shared the content of the room to the people involved since I am involved and you shared it with me publicly here
lol why did you even share it? To slander me?
and allowing mods to do there jobs also matters.
ok fair
as it is an ACTIVE investigations and any infractions by EITHER player will be investigated thoroughly, properly and receive appropriate punishments.
i hope it's not too harsh
you don't get to play whale anymore as the punishment 
plz
only mond characters
I came here to ask about “what to do if someone confirms that they are using an alternate account”
And people answered the question. And I thought it was done. I left it at that.
Nomad came in and “they aren’t sharing screenshots cause they’re a bad person” when the screenshots bird was even asking for was about not being matched again.
Nothing related to the conversation.
I asked a question, I got an answer because I genuinely wasn’t sure what to do.
And all you posted was something to try to make me look bad; something you shouldn’t have even had access to.
Yeah, I said some not great things, I see that. And I will accept consequences for it.
But I feel I can’t win in this case.
if you filed a report to us, we will investigate the matter. my apologises that it might take time to do so... especially considering its is...3:04AM for me...
i would like to be sleeping
I genuinely didn’t know what to do and now I’m apparently the bad guy thanks to Nomad
I did for the multiple account thing, and I mean there isn’t a rush for investigating it, I know mods have lives and stuff outside of here too
You did claim that your opponent had a very inappropriate profile picture but from all of these leaking stuffs, it was just a normal pfp for me
Ppl live in different time zones and we must respect that they can't just drop everything just to look at reports 24/7
Not trying to argue anything here anw
I would try to be considerate next time
pls make the punishment
not too harsh

to be fair i couldn’t see the full pfp, and my phone screen is small (I use discord on mobile)
I might have jumped the gun on that one 
But I guess not all people are fine with accusation in such sensitive topics like this where they are not in the wrong one
Beside this one
I think you are fine
But 9/10 times I see a head against a pillow/blanket background it is adult body pillow art 

Fan base has ruined my mind 

reminder: players must be as professional as possible in ALL of their matches. cuz we want everyone to have fun. its not like we enjoy punishing people... (okay tbf I enjoy punishing Salad ... but thats on me). when problems do arise, deal with them the RIGHT way.
maybe it’s just the bad environment that change your thinking and your influence
woaw
I mean it’s still not good to jump into accusation
But anyway
Not much of a big deal
Everyone is meant to be different
Yeah, that’s fair, I did jump the gun a bit, I feel a bit bad about that
got it
i humbly apologize
😭
kaye's not the one you should apologize to
I rather be a good noodle
you can at least say their name too 
yes ofcourse
but im not allowed to i think
Wait what happened to sealed salad?
kaye unsealed me
dont worry i can fix that...

salad should be free
nah
~~ for everyone ~~
My main issue was with the multiple account thing any, I didn’t even report the PFP
But yeah, I made an assumption because of the way the pfp looked on my screen (the pfp icon is smaller than my fingernail)
salads are tasty
but salad keeps telling me to stop biting him
salads served cold are the best
cuz it hurts
make ur own salad
wtf that's supposed to be priv
Maybe it's because of the shark teeth 
I mean at this point I’m just not used to apologies anyways.
I admit I did some not great things and said something I shouldn’t have and I jumped to conclusions too quickly. For that I am sorry
But idk. I’ve had issues with Nomad in the past and it’s why I’ve blocked him.
ZZZ speed run tournament when ?
get gud scrub
im already proxy level 50
By the way @gleaming parcel is your pfp drawn by you? 
Also the cool thing about salads, is literally anything can be a salad
Pasta Salad
Potato salad
You can put anything in to a salad
Salad can be hot or cold
A salad can just be a mixture of foods
Only get one food for the rest of your life? Say salad, cause there are endless possibilities 

It was by an artist I comissioned :3
I see
Didn't I see you before on Twitter I mean Twix, I mean X?
I feel like ive seen that artists work before, prob when i was doing forum art events
i feel like the channel have sidetracked a bit from earlier discussion but since the TO's are now here to see, would they consider changing the wording of the tournament policy to be welcome towards players of all region?
Yee, they have a unique art style and I love it
This is the full Piece
It’s of my self-inspired OC (before they got their vision) and Kazuha and Thoma
The artist is @svifian8 on twitter
Kazoo

And there's house hubby #1 Thoma
I’m not even a kazoo simp but the way they drew him here is just so 
Oh that looks so good! What vision does your oc have?
Electro
I almost thought Kazoo looks drunk
I thought the person isn't familiar from genshin, so then thought it's custom made person. Which is why wondered if you're the artist
It would be something we would have to look at going forward. cuz obvi its just two the ctg mods here. and its a lot of legalize mumbo jumbo and requires approval from above etc. cuz you know the life of a CTG tournament is an every changing thing. look at traditional tcg games that have initial ban lists.
Nice! I love your style
is there any chance that format might change in future
thanks, and please let us know if there are any updates. 
what format: the server thing or the ban cards list?
server
i wasnt aware of the ban card issue in ctg tbh
fair
i want Bo3
but like look at that one modded type of play. sorry brain not braining.
Yeah, I don't think there's enough cards to truly have a ban list
lol just looking at the trend of electro characters, my OCs story and mind just seemed to fit with electro the most lol
This is their reference sheet
Art by @emaryszero
(I do draw myself though, but I draw super slow and I just also like supporting other artist which is why I get art from them)
it could be like a sub section mode
sure
×3 (optional)
Also all the cards are subjected to change at any time
Looks amazing! Would definitely pull the artist is so talented!! Thanks for sharing ^^
you are truly a gamer
Honestly I just love seeing people’s OCs, they’re so fun 
tbh it's nice to have mods chat once in a while
makes the place more lively and in control
cute :DD
good example on big card changes in the past: MTG text reprints
but u should really be sleeping now
Yeah! I don’t have any Genshin OCs but I have a few I love
But also idk who said I’m unfamiliar with genshin but I’ve been playing consistently since 2.0 release and I have a Tighnari tattoo 
changing whole metas entirely
tbh HBM character draft is one of the greatest formats ever, just remove the random action card requirement and do some small tweaks and we have a perfect BO1 format
because of going from on the field >> you side of the field
yeah implement draft format for Sussy Paimon seems like a great idea
tbf i wanna see multis become a thing and maybe even Tower
give a reason for ctg teams exist
what's Tower btw
draft without rng cards is definitely somthing to look forward to
i have played tournaments organised by Russian community
i think it might be called something else now, but its 3 player v 3 player
they are so fun
also Kaye I wanna say thank you 
draft is fun
the towers are the outside two players on each team

I look at google maps and saw that ppl made reviews on the Snezhnaya River in Russia
and they can only attack adjacent players. example; left tower can only attack the player across and the middle player but not the furthest player.
Some of the reviews made me laugh
They do mention and complained about a tall ginger guy
no worries, just doing my job.
I know, but I still appreciate it, regardless of what happens 
@versed kelp actually on the matter of formats, I have a concern: why does the Conquest format in CTG knockouts look like it has loopholes
enjoying ?
elaborate?
huh
i think ban format is needed in ctg
remember: its now 3:32am
Yeah! Yeah! That's the ginger guy who keeps showing up in the pics!
Not as much as I hoped I would 
closed deck list, and players only need to submit deck lists after the game/match, so they can just lie
-# tbh I'm not really comfortable about the induced "factor of surprise" here
You are allowed to sleep you know 
closed deckl.ist sucks. i hope ctg removes that policy in the future.
oho you wanna see thrilling moments of mod abuse isee
but ban format in KO
also means open list
which opens whole another debate
of
not enough resources
huh
to manage it
what did i say
Nomad didn't get banned. I'm disappointed 

I don't think that's fair either, since the number of real players aon each regions are different
My first reason to create alt is not because i want to play in multiple regions, but EU & NA is easier (before there are too many invaders)
But if the rules is one person can only play in one region (whether it's their main or alt), then i agree
lemme retype to see what the ban word was
don't
Oh no, I'm caught 
sucks
u just triggered some keyword
imagine sleeping before sunrise
probably
hell imagine sleeping before dinner the next day
open decklist to ctg please

more skill expression
Imagine sleeping
imagine dragons
anything really
imagine sharks
imagine open list ctg format
imagine NOT having a level 51 Ellen Joe...
society
cant relate

for this server or base?
Imagine your favorite series ending. And my favorite series ended last week... Suffering 
this
Ellen Joe
Mood, i regularly sleep at like 4 or 5 am
lmao
don't know much
Nomad didn't play ZZZ?? Even me who's out of gaming played it a while
maid shark girl... who can hate?
frfr
that's what it takes
bop to the top
~~im jk
im just an avg player ~~
I need to catch up on completing my quota tomorrow and Sunday
anyways i think everything has been settled ~~ well that can be settled now at least~~
Whale made me lazy to change my deck
time to go back to watching Preserving A Pumpkin With Chemicals & Resin (feat. NileRed)
Average like him?
"nomad is free trust" -zeninge
wise words from a ~~not so ~~ wise man
wait
i know nile red
the guy who plays with chemicals
and breaks light bulbs
yes
funny guy
I see people say “based” like all the time but I don’t think I fully know if it’s good or bad or what it means or where is comes from in regards to slang
lol I told you it was lame 
The term "based" on the Internet typically means agreement, and social media and forum users commonly use it to express approval or admiration.
So then how does like
“This is so based” come into play
Like does that mean “this is so agreeable”?
or you approve or admire said comment, thing or action.
lol I’m just curious
aka not a cringe as yolo
is called based
Yolo is totally different though
Reminds me more of “lit”
i just mean they but cringy but yolo def the worse...
yeah

Not that I'm trying to bring drama up I'm just telling you so that you dont violate any rules on accident
Playing in multiple servers is allowed
And what you did with cancelling isnt
You cant dodge players after being matched
Typically
More like a dead server
So many players haven't played their last games

says guy who's at 34 EXP
I’ve only played a single game 
But I work tonight.
Idk. I’ve just been busy this week and haven’t been near my console during the queue times
🐳🐳🐳🐋🐋🐋
what's this
also why wouldn't they just use the pics in the handbook
Characters picked on fonta cup

I wanted to follow-up on something that was discussed in modchat
is any posting of the preliminary threads banned? I assumed that I as a participant in the conversation had the right to share it
not for doxxing reasons, just for funny (to add to my collection of threatening people with whale so they would play heated battle with me instead)
Oh I have same question too, because I have shared screenshots of one of my preliminary thread (but I censored the name) and I never got punishment or warning or anything like that, so I am confused in this regard 
how about sharing screenshots of the in-game chat? that's technically not public right
Ngl i was bit confused on their wording
Cus I thought “doxxing” meant revealing private personally identifying information.
Not a screenshot of their convo in a game channel
@tropic slate Generally speaking, if another player's private information (like UID) is shown, then one probably shouldn't be casually posting it in public. That's the sort of information that should be up to that person to share, since it's basically like a Genshin address.
I would also generally say that people have a right to share their own information as long as it doesn't infringe on another's right to privacy. There's a conflict there, and good judgement should mean erring on the side of caution. Or at the very least, getting permission. If someone's posting without permission, then there's at least a fair chance they're being salty about something. Basically, treat it like sharing screenshots from the friend group chat—probably best just not to.
@twilit steppe - censoring the name was a good move.
@barren anchor - that's a bit iffy since the conversation isn't technically linked to the Tavern, and could have occurred organically via natural in-game co-op request. Still, it's always best to be sensible about this kind stuff.
Good questions, and I'm glad that people are asking them~
Actually unironically bad though 
consider the following:

No entiendo el primer Kanji es similar a 細い y 先 con el "kete kudasai".
They seem to be in your style, Lia

i mean no sound notification
They totally would be. I didn't write them though, I'm not a moderator here anymore hehe
i can’t take credit for all of the additions, but a large part of the word choice is mine~
i dabble in contract law so writing rules for different things has some adjacent skills 
better call Yanfei MONO
I still have six more matches to play, but...
...it seems like I might end up facing tough opponents like KevinZ, NOMAD, and Dottier.
No, no, no! Please, someone tell me how I can avoid playing against them!
Befriend them ingame and only queue when they're in a TCG match or if they're offline 
hmmmmmmmmm
You are the genius of the century.
this doesn't work when playing against cn spy because they always offline and queue offline lol
Wait, but I don’t have any friends. There are only a few hours left, but do you think I can still become friends with someone in time?
only if you know their uid and IF they accept your request in time
it is probably too late to start adding people
are you seriously trying to discuss matchfixing here
No way! Sorry if it didn’t look like a joke.
Yeah I was joking too.. I usually just queue whenever I want 
i queue whenever i want too but i know that some people do this lol
my last 2 matches yesterday were against 0-meo
okay so
you build a time machine
if you queue into something you dont want
you turn back time and wait
wolla
Wow I should have done this 18 times
(joke)
you can check regardless of you're friends or not right
but yeah infact i think most people queue offline lol

⛔ ctg players don't want you to know this one trick ⛔ ✋
u already faced me two times
and im not playing my last game
so i can rigg the seeding

I just need to finish 12 more matches and then I'm done
Good luck with your matches 
I just need to win as many primos as possible
given that it can sometimes be quite difficult to properly parse intentions via text, it’s probably for the best that match fixing isn’t talked about, even in a joking manner
i can appreciate that it can be a humorous topic, but it’s also a serious infraction of the rules, and creating a messy situation where there doesn’t need to be one is certainly not at the top of my list of to-dos
bonk
match fixing is probably not possible, at the very least extremely unreliable.
the queue bot works in mysterious ways and it's always been that they dont prioritise matching people that are available asap.
even so, match fixing really shouldn't be contemplated - however, this isn't a warning or a strike or anything drastic like that ofc - most like a cautionary heads up
in addition effort to match fix is not feasible
if their goal is to complete 35 games
waiting for someone to stop being online to queue takes away significant portion of limited time you have to queue for each day
What do I do if the person won’t confirm the result of the match
contact the qixing
Provide screenshots, videos, and as much evidence as possible
I can’t even cancel the match because the conclusion queue is already in progress, and I can’t cancel the confirmation
This is the last day I can play any matches too 
I’ve only been able to play for 2 days 
You can
I got it figured out, thank you though ;3
dang not even the 260s are safe. how are people getting in so many games on the last day
Aka me 

Also I matched with a card back I’ve never seen before :0
I probably need a better deck tbh
I thought in last day there will be only tough opponents 
defend your region from invaders
there should be 1 winner and 1 loser every time. The new leaderboard people that made it are getting 5-0 tonight
Yeah I haven’t been able to play much until today though
I’ve played like 5 games total the entire tournament
nah mostly r easy opponent trust
i'd love to play people rn but this mf i'm with disconned and i'm waiting on the qixing hotline 😭
Did you dm them?
yeah i sent the thing to the bot like 11 minutes ago
Also I was gonna ask if there was a good Kaveh - narwhal deck running around

I don’t have either cards yet but it seems like a fun deck and I wanna build one with Kaveh
Cause every time I play against Kaveh he’s always surprisingly strong 
~~like in AS 70% of the last day games for me r from JP players ~~
hong/cftsoc3 are the only NA representatives? I can't believe we lost birdy this season
remember to never pick whale in heated. they put 2 stupid whale talents that is impossible to get rid of and ruins your summons
I won 2 of my heated games, maybe he's not wrong for picking that mode 
it depends tbh
like if you draft kuki and get to put a veteran's on it
or a decent draw engine
but how do you get rid of the talent? you going to play it?
uh you pray you don't draw the second
does anyone know how long the qixing take to respond to the hotline?
Depends, for example once it took about 9 hours? But on another time it took only few hours
oh that's not good then bc mine has to do with the match i just did for the tournament 💀
tf do i even do
play on the last day on the last slot this is the risk you take
that doesn't help
What's the problem if I may ask? Is it like, very urgent?
this guy disconnected and just isn't confirming the result
he went unresponsive mid match
so he's probably not even online
how many more games you got left?
Oh as for that you can just wait until the Qixing confirm the result since you have contacted them
They can confirm your win later, that's what happened to me when one of my opponent (deliberately?) don't confirm
usually game will end when no one confirms when the timer runs out. games will be confirmed later when they do a sweep check
i'm only in it for card back, and this is the 3rd win i'd have so i was worried
cause it's wasting time (in the sense that the event ends VERY SOON) waiting for this guy
does the queue end at 11pm, or 2am (ET)?
oh wait
it should end in 49 minutes
ahh well alright lmao
Yeah the timestamps should be in #preliminary-queue
I have 9 games left
I have 30 left 
😭😭
bad news
it backfired
im getting matched into god of tcg himself unless lb changes which is unlikely at this point

you're in 13th you're probably fine
the leaderboard will fluctuate by a position or two usually based on post-preliminary review
but if you're not on the very bottom edge and you didn't have any funny business during your matches then you should be safe
cries in 19th
not really? you get a free welkin from that
and if they're doing cat's tail points then that's still 5 points which is good
skill issue
ig i just need to beat the champ
Happened to me not just once but twice and this is before they have Welkin prize too 
anyway, for anyone interested, here's my record for this season, complete with video evidence for 6 out of the 7 days (I forgot to record on the 7th day, rip)
and for anyone who I lost to who didn't take me on in heated battle?
we're not friends, we will never be friends
I will have my revenge and I will never forgive you
I did (in Asia) and won twice
those are better than 🐳 🪞
oh wait i missed one, it was actually 18 in heated battle, my fight against mario45 on day 4 was in heated
how do you know who you're getting matched?
i thought it was random
but i guess you know more and since this is my first time getting into top 16 i will believe you
Unless the system got changed, I can attest what Nomad said is true (I am top 16 twice but played badly
)
top 16 is single elimination seeded by their peliminary order, so yes it's as nomad said
so do we have to register decks for the entire thing or it is free and can we change on every match?
it's best-of-3, closed decklist, conquest
the winner is the first one to get two wins. If you win with a deck you can no longer use any of the characters in that deck for the rest of the match
you do not share your decklists with your opponent prior to the match
no bans then?
I think the finals and 3rd place matches do require you to give the organizers the decklists you used after the fact, but not before
no bans, correct
i lost all my games on heated mode 
and then i just play cope decks on normal mode 
meow~
I'm a little confused, I won 3 rounds but haven't gotten any rewards? My UID is 601709584
It’ll take a few weeks or months until they send out your rewards for this season. Be patient.
alright np, I saw the announcement and thought they were already out
ah that's s3 lmao
why 0- meo climbed ranks if he has the same points 260? it is not supposed the ones who finish first has the right to be on top of the ones with the same scores?
and i have proof that mizuki ended giga early that him
u missed one point
that's also included in scores
strikes
strikes have the most weightage
after original score
i see. i forgot about strikes 
score > infractions (less is prioritized) > last match played (earlier is prioritized)> registration time
somthing like that
Q18. How is the ranking for the Preliminary Phase calculated?
Score > EXP > Strikes (the lower the better) >
Win rate> Last played match (the earlier the better) > Registration date (the earlier the better)
I crossed out WR% because if equal score and equal EXP then WR% is the same (will report this to CTG staff later if no one sees this message)
also EU having people with 36 exp 
too good at the game
technically we can get unlimited exp and score with this
what was in the alfa
Nope, max 2 coz then you'll get 3 strikes and get banned
Or if your opponent agreed to take the blame and strikes
so how does cats tail elim work
your opponent rank = 17 - your rank
Congratulations to the Cat Tails Gathering and all his staff like @abstract briar, whom doesn't care about cross players and made the NA lb a Global lb
It's a shame open the LB just to see two maybe three legit players whom are resident of na region
The same players keep playing the same tournament with different names within different regions and everybody of the organization think it's OK?
Clearly it's not OK for most of player base cause they fell hurt cause of wherever reason they can't while others can and nothing is done bout by you CTG
Also clearly the skill gap is immense cause the same players that cross playing are getting classified within his 3 alias
As long these issues were not address we'll keep seeing the same faces over n over
It is rather about being unable to do anything with that than not wanting to 🤔
I'm sorry it's hard to believe that as long u guys have money to give in prize u couldn't do anything bout it
Ah yes here we go again
ngl im surprised the lb this season is very domestic
]it's like 6-7 this time around
we had it easy
EU is pretty domestic comparing to previous season
yeah previous season na board was full of LAB
Same dead ah complain about invaders in NA discussion
It's either dead or someone is complaining about invaders
This is what you have if you don't like it feel free to leave

Nobody is being kept at gunpoint here
If u don't care bout them u probably one
Matter of fact I've never played outside of eu
I started in 2023 s3 and got my first top 16 4 seasons later in 2024 s2
Which had a lot of invaders in it
yet I never complained
This is a competition which means the best player wins
And never has anybody told you otherwise
So if you don't like it and you don't wanna improve yourself
And instead want to bring up the same topic over and over again
Feel free to leave
As I said earlier, nobody is being held here at gunpoint
Dividing the servers is a pure technical thing because as you know there's no cross play between servers
So now imagine genshin brings crossplay after 3 years
What are you gonna do?
I mean, yeah, just win invaders, so you don't care about them
"Ban the asians"? (for legal purposes I do not stand for something like this myself, just to be sure)
Says you lmao
🐋🐋🐋 SUPER WHALE 🐋🐋🐋
You keep bringing up the same discussion in a public place over and over again, and even tho it's being explained to you like to a little 4 y/o child multiple times, you don't get it

Go rant in a private server

I'm asking again are u a mod?
Why u keep telling me what to do?
The same rant is both mine and urs
If u don't play on na why come this chat to see me rant?
this message is meant for a general audience and isn’t directed to any specific Traveler: if the inflammatory comments could be kept to a mínimum, i’m sure everyone would be grateful
thank you!
Imo, competition can never be completely fair. For example, you can argue that less skilled players winning tournaments simply because most of the other skilled players play in other regions is equally unfair.
Let's say CTG doesn't exist and we have one big tournament that includes all 3 regions. If we assume 48 people reach knockout stage, do you really think it will have 16 EU, 16 America and 16 AS players?
You can make an argument that some players playing in two or three regions is unfair, since they have 2x or 3x chances to qualify compared to single-region players, but its not like they are given special privilege to play in multiple regions. Anyone who has time for it is free to do the same.
America server got two times more gold cardbacks than EU server (last year, there were NA and LATAM Prince Cup compared to one EU Prince Cup). That is not fair, so should we take some gold cardbacks from them and give it to EU players? Obviously, no.
If you came to CTG to win, looking for the excuse in invaders won't raise your skill level.
If you came to CTG to have fun, you will be met with meta decks whether or not you meet invaders (This is no longer early TCG scene, where everyone brought their own decks. Meta decks are easily accessible everywhere and many people participating in tournaments obviously want to win)
If you came to CTG to improve, facing invaders will help you more than facing less-skilled players.
If you came to get primogems, you are already wasting time and sanity playing 35 games against whale.
If you came to CTG to get 3 wins for the cardback,... Nvm, you probably don't even know invaders exist
That being said, if you don't like invaders, I fully support voicing your opinion and asking for change. However, I encourage you to voice it in a civil way and not resort to personal attacks. Both people who agree and disagree with you will be more eager to listen to your suggestions if you present them in a respectful way.
In your theory I don't think that we'll get equally distribution of players but at least we'll get 48 different players.
What's happening now is in theory we have 48 top places but same players w different alias are occupying 3 of them so in practical we have less spots
I do think you have a point, but that is the key distinction between one big tournament and 3 separate tournaments.
If you remember Prince Cup Atlantic and Pacific registration requirements, you needed either residence or citizenship from the eligible countries. This means a person with dual citizenship etc was able to meet full requirements for participating in both regions. If there was a rule stating you must choose one region even if you meet requirements for both, it would make sense. However, if the rule doesn't exist and a player aims to qualify in both regions, they shouldn't be insulted because of their decision.
My point is, some arguments against invaders do make sense. However, if someone disagrees with current state of things, they should appeal to the people in power and ask for the change in the rules. Insulting people who obviously are not breaking the rules is not the way to go.
My main problem stems from Tournament Organizer's ambiguity. If they state Cats Tail is a Global tournament which just so happen to have Regional server. Then that is an equal playing field. I have no problems with that. Right now it is everyone's own head canon and interpretation of the rules. You say hey you can go play whatever server you want if you have the time. Tell me what happens when a season or 2 later we get banned for doing so? I am not going to risk my account worth 1000s of dollars over this so I play by the official rules. What "invader" are doing is a loophole in the rules and may or maynot be punished in the future. I been a competitive player in many games and very stubborn about rules. Make the stance clear and then I know whether it is worth my time to pursue or not.
"grandfathering" players if a new rule comes into effect is something that while perhaps legal definitely isn't ethical and of course the qixing will take that into consideration~
I’d like a razor translation of this

Just to clarify things I'm not insulting anyone.
If u remember all my speech was towards CTG and lack of address the issue. If was not we probably wouldn't talking bout.
The qixing wont suddenly bring a new rule and punish everybody who would've broken it in the past if it existed back then
exactly what ebrithil said - that would be grossly unfair to everyone involved - how could you avoid breaking a rule that you didn't know existed? the ramifications of that would be ridiculous and would cause such damage that it would hardly be worth the problem it solved
What does that LAB mean?
It’s a name of a gaming clan
Laboratory (???)
Also throwing it out there again that it’s really not easily possible for soley console players to play in another server 

No, i am pretty sure it is not it
SUC
What does that mean 
Secret Underground Cult
SUC for short
lol never heard that before, but it sounds sus 
Super underrated cup
Leaderboard Acquisition Band

I love it

I threw like 4-5 games and still qualified for top 16

First time I qualified for elim lol
They gave to mizuki and unfair extra lost... And now they said that are unable to alter match results after the verification phase ends.
there a real life tcg version? how does it work
seem hard to play
imagine stacking a lot of effects into your character
not to mention weapon artifact and talent
looks like there is a slider on top of character to show hp and equipments are on the bottom
sunyata banned card 
actually rigged?
i dont think so, they have no reasons... but he is trying to resolve it
i cant even remember if i ever got S3 primo but i think i did
Quagsire ate them 🦤
🦤
who is DiaDV?
DVDia's cousin
burn out and horrible meta I think. Most of the NA players I knew didn't even play in this cats tail this season
so DVDia is an invader?
everyone's playing TFT
including me

Yall are lucky Lia didnt sign up
so i'd probably win maybe 2 games
@safe plaza kanon is a Japanese player
lol
Lost to him since I played probably the worst in the whole tour o.o
oooooo
But ye, that’s another Asian player since their timezone is JST
i thought LAB players are all cn players
but they're the only one on leaderboard this season
maybe LAB is on group vacation
can you switch servers between cat's tail tournaments?
Most players on leaderboard are invaders
@frozen pike Hi Ponpon I am the friend of 0mew. 0mew said she cannot upload the match evidence due to the bug of the discord mobile client
What should we do? Is it ok to dm you the result? If yes please check the dm
It's Fonta season u know
People just get exhausted bc of Fonta cup
we're on it~
done, ty 
🥰

Fonta LCQ clashed with PC
And it seems unfair to play for two regions so I quit
mad respect to you
-# just for funsies can you ask them to issue you a Crown card back in the CN server?
i didnt play this ctg
something about this season felt so unfun and not so motivating
It would be funny to play CTG, you meet an AR32 player with golden backcard
-1000 morality
I doubt he's AR32 in CN

Soon we’ll see BluRay appear in AS 
Where was any sign of CN server though?
check back the promotional materials of PC Pacific
-# actually it's been somewhat of an open secret for a while but I guess you haven't known
nah I am 60 in Bilibili server and 55 in cn server
genshin veteran trust
how do you even grind more in Bilibili than CN main
Shouldn’t have grinded global so you can be a true menance to AS CTG players
nononono that's too much Emotional Damage™️
cuz bilibili mocked me and I toped up my money on that side server

no they are separate
they are just separate servers
that's it
you can't play with CN from Bilibili and vice versa
I don't like how they did that but it is what it is and I can't speak Chinese to send a message to the suggestions box anyway
Which server is more common and popular
yeah that's the fun thing
apparently that separation no longer exists as of ZZZ, Bilibili will connect to CN there
but seems like that decision is not going to be done retroactively

@frozen pike ^ can we have that adjusted in #tournament-updates? (assuming you're still awake, though pretty sure you aren't)
More time to watch tft

天上天下 唯KevinZ独尊

Oh alright thanks for the answer
Evan, I don't remember your Discord name, but I know I faced you in CTG, so if you're reading this, hello!
oh
uhh
i dont think theyre out yet
cuz i won one in the pacific too
These cardbacks are basically sub areas of each region
Oh I see.. hopefully we both can get them soon 
I wonder if Sea of Bygone Eras cardback will exist someday haha
i wonder if we're gonna get the tornado or pyramid for sumeru
sike, it's actually based on the pari
check your mailbox(in game) they're already sending pc raffle rewards
Oh yeah I got one Idk if that one is from Pacific or Atlantic lol, thanks so much for the info

Ooh stylish card back
hi everyone, I would like to make a request
please learn how to play Heated Battle Mode
so we can play it when we match
it is much more fun than the degenerate maingame, I promise
Last season I got too many people telling me "I haven't practiced heated battle" or "I don't know how to play it"
let's not make that an excuse this time, ok?
I would LOVE to play Heated Battle Mode
There's another week until preliminaries start, so plenty of time to practice
since heated battle starts this weekend
I enjoy heated battle mode. Im def gonna grind out a few games
I’d give it a shot

Can I dm you (for a question)?
If you play in Asia server and you meet me then sure 
honestly I don't think this iteration of HBM is the one that should be played regularly in the queue
because of how much is altered in the mode to the point that performance in HBM doesn't represent performance in main mode
I'd be ok with the normal draft but not this one
draft with actual control of action cards yes
heck it dosent even show all the cards u have in the deck

yeah but that's the fun part
adapting to the action cards you find yourself with
in my experience it very rarely comes down to action card luck, it's almost always down to character combinations
4 omni dice, discounts and fast action. Person going first can probably 1 shot a character on round 1
heated 🚮
that part is not the problem; that thing exists in normal draft too
the problem is Sprinting rules
Wait is there another Prince Cup this year or is it next? i am Confused??
anyone else having trouble registering
Shrimply go in blind and yolo
- Ew light mode
- No? Have you reported to the Qixing?
how do i report to qixing
We don’t know yet
I hate being kept in the dark for soo long, I need to know if i should be tryharding
DM the Qixing Hotline
there's a golden card back
so it's very likely
Have the primos for s5 been distributed? I have not received mine yet. Or is there something we need to do to claim it?
no
s4 primo was like a week ago
please learn how to play the standard tcg mode
but u cannot give pressure on ur opp to do so
When is the first day of the new season :0
I cannot force my opponent to do so
but I can shame or scare them into it
That’s not nice
why shame
have you never tried to give puppy dog eyes to get something you want?
And it also isn’t a requirement if the tournament to play in heated mode.
They aren’t required to play in heated.
So you shaming them, scaring them, harassing them, bullying them, or whatever you want to call it — into playing in heated battle mode when the tournament wants standard battle mode tells us more about you than it does them.
bully? surely not.
I ask to play heated battle, they say no
I say please? they say no
I give them a frowny face and then do regular duel
that does tell you more about me than about them, sure
and I'm fine with the picture that paints of me
So you intentionally try to make them feel bad?
that’s a form of bullying my dude
Form of manipulation
You’re trying to manipulate them
yes I am.
Get them to feel bad so you’ll get your way
that isn’t okay
Major red flag dude
Can only imagine what you’re like in person if you’re consciously trying to bully and manipulate others over a virtual card game
Just let people have fun and play the tournament the way the rules say.
Well good for you, but seems like you’re a guy who doesn’t like hearing “no”
And that’s a red flag
and people wonder why we chose the bear 
that's an awful lot to read into someone from one interaction
if you’re doing it over a virtual card game, you’re more than likely doing it to things irl too, and things you want more than to win a match
it's the other way around
