i was getting really annoyed by getting stuck at 950 forever

i assume they wont give 50 with ticket either

[fringe estuary]

do you know why you miss the other 1500 ?

[white geode]

why

i read some price changes on reddit

[fringe estuary]

no no, the price change doesnt affect the achievement count

then yeah probably you missed a week or you havent played all NPCs

[white geode]

how much the earliest weeks give

that might be it

[fringe estuary]

idk but yeah maybe

[dire crow]

I didn't knew this is the max until today, I 'only' have like... 928k in my main account. I wonder why I missed the 4k

[fringe estuary]

CN has more coins than global, madge MHY scammed us with no coins code in the PC

[white geode]

cant be this

just to be sure these two means everything completed right? no sides stuff missing

[dire crow]

Yeah, if it's incomplete they wouldn't put the checkmark and state 'challenge complete'

Also you can check it yourself by clicking/opening the + mark

[fringe estuary]

just use the casket its way faster

there's a search for player for it

[white geode]

where is that

[fringe estuary]

its this item in your bag

[viscid wadi]

For what invading acc you need coins?

[fringe estuary]

For clearing shop "self-achievement" and holding the most amount of coins ofc

[plain panther]

I only hav this much
missed several weeklies, and some events

[mild birch]

I made @marble jacinth today

Nsc inspired satisfying salad™️

[marble jacinth]

wowo

[versed barn]

is it served cold?

[oak trench]

Doesn't look much hot to me.

[mild birch]

served cold and sealed

[wispy rivet]

is there no info on finals streams? 🦤

[tough dock]

I feel like a fein, waiting on the streams, do they have no casters available?

[fringe estuary]

EU CTG stream is announced

where's the official announcement ?

[leaden pond]

already?

don't see it

Rin announced it

idk

[leaden pond]

@tiny breach

[tiny breach]

[leaden pond]

do something, how does Rin get ahead of Tavern

[tiny breach]

chotto matte....im verifying some info first

[tough dock]

Poor show not even announcing the start of the EU finals live stream on here, what is the point of all of us doing this if there isn't gonna be an official announcement

[fringe estuary]

maybe they have problem about casters for other regions so they cant announce it i guess ?

[versed barn]

sorting things through

[tiny breach]

[fringe estuary]

[leaden pond]

you know I'm actually genuinely worried about Pon

sorting things through at 1am in the morning (not even morning it's after dark lmao)

yikes

[mild birch]

1am is peak productivity time for me

[leaden pond]

idk some people are so nocturnal that they can work until 5-6am or sth

like Kojo on the CTG Asia cast

[versed barn]

no one was up to confirm the broadcast time so i couldnt make an announcement headed back to sleep after waiting until 2am or so

[fringe estuary]

[half python]

hey hey everyone is it too late to register on anything tcg related 🥲

[dire crow]

There are no tournaments right now but in future if there's any tournaments, you can still join

[leaden basalt]

So everyone here received 1000 primos right?

[wispy rivet]

should be only those who won the stream raffle

[fringe estuary]

i didnt win

boohoo

[leaden basalt]

[crude light]

[white geode]

bro wtf did they just murdered whale

[dusk anchor]

Haha, you are funny. Whale is so funny that 90% of the matches were whale mirror

[white geode]

still

thats way too big nerf

is it even playable now

[fringe estuary]

its deadge

[coarse marsh]

When is the tournament starting?

[coarse marsh]

?

[deep sandal]

sent a wrong image on the first time thats why there was a ghostping

the timestamps are central european time btw

but you can see the channel yourself anyways

[coarse marsh]

its already started?

Im from europe server

[deep sandal]

Oh they didnt update it yet

mb

[carmine trail]

Hallo, it's my first t8me registering to play

I'll probably lose a lot but I wanna start earning limited card backs so maybe I will learn a lot

How do I actually participate? Is it in game?

[wispy rivet]

in a couple days, the queue ( #preliminary-queue ) will open. you go to that channel and press start. then you'll be matched with someone in discord and learn their UID. then you join their world (or the reverse) and play a game of tcg. then you come back to discord and report the result of the game. rinse and repeat for a maximum of 35 games spread over 10 days. check #1096770459892191284 for faq

[carmine trail]

35 games max ok

Thank you for all the help

I am not good enough to win anything I don't think I am good enough to even win the card back since I can't even do the in game playable stuff hahaha

But one can dream

[leaden pond]

you can always ask people for help! either here or in the Genius Invokation TCG server (find the link in #🤝partnered-servers, it's the second one from top)

[carmine trail]

Oh that would be great actually! I am new to this, I enjoyed the game when it first came out, but then J just started losing a lot and couldn't really figure much out. I am not very smart or logical but I liked the puzzle of the game ^^

Are there good resources for like, deck making and stuff?

I remember loving using ganyu but I don't know if she's even any good any more

[leaden pond]

aside from the Genius Invokation TCG server, @young terrace does have a list of useful links (with a companion video too, links in the description):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlf-LLb6V3A

[carmine trail]

I am not good with watching videos as I am usually on late at night ahaha but I can Tey ^^

I think my old devk was klee, ganyu n kokomi

[still arrow]

Let's go be bullyed by Xianyun AoE and Crab yay

[still arrow]

If you want to learn that's already a good start

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1073515772762132591.gif?size=48&name=BugCatNod&quality=lossless

For Ganyu she isn't really relevant if we are honnest but I see recently some Ganyu Xianyun Kuki

[carmine trail]

Haha, I am not good at the main ones yet

I want to focus on something that hurts multiple targets at once as I remember enjoying thay

I liked using tiny and cute charas but they're never meta much are they haha

I figure if ai can build a good deck I could just practice and practice and get good at it

Also, are some decks banned as well? This seemed to be mentioned during some research h

[still arrow]

No

Banned deck are extremely rare and in official thing that never happen
That's more in community weekly ect where sometime yeah, as far I remember just AEC and Whale

[leaden pond]

just to add on to this: in official events no cards or card combinations are banned by the organizers, but at high-level competition it would usually be a best-of series where each player could ban an opponent's deck (usually PC, but not in CTG and CTG:SS)

in such cases, there have been times where a deck is permaban or basically permaban, such as the All-Devouring Narwhal decks in 4.7 and 4.8 (which prompted a drastic nerf to the character card in 5.0)

[deep sandal]

Yeah ig ctg is just too low level

Casuals tournament

[crude light]

Even wildcard has ban

Wildcard high level tournament

[plush root]

Hi I have a question for the cat'tail

The matchs are versus random players?

How can this server know that I won or lose?

(Sorry it's my first time)

And does it starts today?

[glad delta]

Yes it’s the bot who chooses u enemy. Now when you will finish your match you should go back to the bot and say who have won

The two players will confirm that

[elfin charm]

You self report and both players confirm the match result if there are problems with your opponent mods will step in and handle it

[plush root]

Ohh ok ok

[plush root]

Ahh ok i see

And it's correctly in #preliminary-queue right?

[elfin charm]

Yes

[glad delta]

Yeah

[elfin charm]

It will randomly match you with another player and creat a match room for you to talk to your opponent and also report and confirm the results

[plush root]

Ooook I understand now XD thanks to you 2

[plush root]

Ahh ok

[glad delta]

[wicked echo]

[white geode]

whats the meta this time bois

I’m kevinz hater

[tribal harness]

I met Binzu fan yesterday

[chrome night]

Who’s binzufan

These people all have fans

[leaden pond]

can I be RunaTobioFan

[chrome night]

[crude light]

Binzu fan is @tawdry scaffold

[wicked echo]

Runa is big bully maybe need to stop being fan

[white geode]

where do ppl follow the meta? any youtubers or smth

[oak trench]

I think your best bet would be checking videos from the most recent weekly tournaments.

That is what I would do.

[leaden pond]

pls do not assume people know about the existence of the GITCG Discord community

btw @white geode if you wonder where that is, it's the second server from top in #🤝partnered-servers

[chrome night]

qwq I almost lost to Binzu

Issok runa’s still Binzu’s fan

[oak trench]

I did not assume anything, actually. ^^ Just tried to help. :3

thanks 👍

[tribal harness]

[knotty kernel]

[deep sandal]

Runa here, runa there, it's runa everywhere

[eager tendon]

[knotty kernel]

1. Runa per Region is about the amount of Runa i expect
   but seeing more than 1 Runa on the board, now that's something

[crude crater]

no runa in asia

[leaden basalt]

And its #5
So there are #1, #2, #3 and #4 somewhere xD

[knotty kernel]

doesn't have to end with #5 either

[leaden basalt]

[viscid wadi]

No patch without tier 0 dexk

😢

[maiden harness]

No patch without more than only tier 0 deck

[desert quest]

😨wdym i only use one account per region. The others are my friends

[knotty kernel]

Yes of course. I was just joking about the amount of Runa i saw on the board. I don't think you use more than 1 per Region.
Sorry if that wasn't clear. Also maybe i'm a little jealous because i didn't call myself Runa Fan #12.

[desert quest]

[viscid wadi]

Ia there a limit of runa fans?

[knotty kernel]

I think about 8-8,2 Billion fans seems to be the upper limit.
Just a rough estimate though.

[viscid wadi]

I meant the upper bound

Of her

[knotty kernel]

oh. if you meant that as a serious question, then idk.
but i don't think there are that many that we need some kind of restriction.

[viscid wadi]

I just don't wabt to intersect xD:)

[knotty kernel]

yeah makes sense

[crude crater]

who tf is gitcgplayer

looks sus af

[knotty kernel]

[fringe estuary]

hmm you can report them if you feel sus

[crude crater]

[median mauve]

Why are there so many runa fans?

[desert quest]

Kevin’s not a runa fan? Sadge

[median mauve]

I consider myself more of a Quagsire fan

[desert quest]

bye

[crude light]

how can a quagsire be another quagsire fan

there is only 1 quagsire in the TCG-verse

[leaden basalt]

@oak trench cuz you can saved it and try to catch me

Using it when 3 chars alive and you dont do double kiol

[oak trench]

Well I thought I'd survive. I had two lotuses in hand

[leaden basalt]

Kill*

[oak trench]

I didn't use them in order to catch you

[leaden basalt]

Welp, you mb should
Anyway, gg, good luck next time ^^

[carmine trail]

Can u st8ll play after losing 3 rounds?

[wispy rivet]

yes. the current tournament phase doesnt have elimination

[leaden basalt]

Yeah, just win as much as you can

[carmine trail]

Thank you

I wont win at all lol

But I'll learn a bunch ^^

Dream goal: win 3. Get cool card back

I wish they advertised this in game tbh but ah well

[oak trench]

I had similar goals when I went for first :3 Get a win for Noelle, get 3 wins to get cardback, get 5 wins for original requirement of card back. EVen though I thought I'll get disintegrated I got 12 wins 😄

[carmine trail]

I haven't played this game very much

I have lost I think 4 or 5 times in a row now :3

I wish this was more signposted in the game though look at all the card backs I could have failed to sccomplish

Terrible lmao

But ya if anyone fights me (I'm emmie) and u have pointers pls lmk ;_; I have no idea what I'm doin

Queue is broken?

It timed put before and now it just does this

It is just stuck like that haha

Oh no am I in trouble? It bugged out on me I promise

1 second ago idk what's happened here ;_;

[oak trench]

You mustn't delete message in order to know if you are still queueing ^^

Keep messages sussy sends until it is clear they are expired 🙂

Because if you delete message about "Matchmaking now" you are still matchmaking even though you delete the message.

That might have confused you.

Just hit Start and wait, do not delete message :3

If Sussy says you are already queueing, you are queueing, so wait until Sussy shows you that she had found opponent, or that your matchmaking failed (10 minute interval) 🙂

[carmine trail]

I didn't initially

Maybe I hit it by accident somehow

Tysm 🙂

I think I've lost 6 in a row lmao

#professional

[oak trench]

I certainly know how that feels, do not worry.

[tribal harness]

[carmine trail]

I GOT MY FIRST EVER WIN U GUYS ;____,

AND IT WAS VS A RAIDEN SHOGUN DECK

I got very lucky
But I am happy. My first victory

(Ignore the 6/7 losses in a row before it shhh they don't count)

[oak trench]

Congratulations~ ^^ ❤️

https://tenor.com/view/anime-handshake-cute-friends-up-and-down-gif-16477984

Two more, let's go :3

You still have space for 28 tries :3 I believe you'll make it.

[leaden basalt]

17 place lol
Too many 7-3 xD

[carmine trail]

THANK U FREN (Lost against him again right away but shhh doesn't sound shhh)

1 hrs and 10 mins to go

Lol

[verbal rain]

hullo and congrats!!

that high never goes away.. until you get your next loss ahah 😭

[carmine trail]

Thank u fren

Lost immediately after

To same person and same deck

But I won't agame in an actual tournament

Like for grown ups who play against actual people

This is a delight

I am hoping after this I can ask for advice a bit better n esier

[verbal rain]

oh yeah crab cyno? i got one turn killed so dw

it's ✨meta ✨

[carmine trail]

I realised why I started losing so much in the past

Is ganyu was changed and ai didn't know

So I used to play a ganyu deck (not a meta one, just one I cobbled together)

And did well, but then I just thought they upped difficulty and that's why I couldn't play anymore

Turns out she was nerfed lol

[verbal rain]

[viscid wadi]

I have to find some recipe for crab mirrors

They are either too easy or too hard, and it is proportional to GTs

[carmine trail]

I do not understand the emoji but yay

Ok 1 more win. 30 mins to go. The card back is in sight ;_____;

Thank you for your support all, this is a nice community

Waiting it says I reached the max match quota???

[leaden basalt]

[carmine trail]

I haven't played 30 matches

I've played like 10

[leaden basalt]

+5 matches every day

From 5 up to 35

[carmine trail]

But I haven't played any until now and it says the max is like 25 rn?

Oh I guess this just started yesterday right?

Will there be more tomorrow then?

[viscid wadi]

5 games per day

[viscid wadi]

don't look at the very very 1st ctg

[carmine trail]

Oh, this must have been my 10th match then as ai didn't play yesterda

[leaden basalt]

@viscid wadi )

[carmine trail]

So there is more tomorrow?

[leaden basalt]

Yeah

He died in 1910

Go to google

[viscid wadi]

hmm, i have to admit, i am bad at dates

[knotty kernel]

what the hell. i look away for a bit and there's already a new naming trend.

[leaden basalt]

We'r just math enjoyers

[oak trench]

Nothing compares to naming yourself after something which represents you and is understandable to others ^^

[leaden basalt]

And yes @oak trench Im still geo enjoyer :3

Have all 9 chars, hehehe

[oak trench]

Which character you like the most? ^^

Of Geos

[leaden basalt]

Chiori and Albedo

[oak trench]

Good choice :3

[knotty kernel]

i see Bot #e has good taste in geo

[oak trench]

My choice is Noelle and Navia :3

I lack only Itto out of Geo characters. But it is because of Itto's claymore being best for Noelle. So... untill she gets R5, Itto won't get pulled.

[leaden basalt]

If u want u can name urself using Gram number, ehehe

[leaden basalt]

Have both Itto and his claymore)
Monogeo was signature deck, ehehe for a long time

[oak trench]

Noelle is highly powercrept now, but I still managed to get a win for her (as every tournament :3) :3 Even without drawing any of her blood (she took her win without being defeated). But together with her, her only viable ship partner and the best buffer for her in overworld came 😄

[leaden basalt]

Now it will be time for Xilonen and Chiori's weapon

[knotty kernel]

i could but i like my numbers somewhere in the realm of conceivable.

[leaden basalt]

Sadge

[knotty kernel]

irrational is bad enough

[leaden basalt]

Well...
Okay, use the number of possible chess scenarios
10¹²⁰ ±

[viscid wadi]

howdid you right it like that?

power of something

[oak trench]

BTW: If you are Math enjoyers, do you know that joke about Mathematicians in the pub? 😄 😄 😄

[viscid wadi]

i know

[oak trench]

I love it 😄

[leaden basalt]

Hehehe

The endless row

XD

[oak trench]

Infinite amount of Mathematicians comes to the pub. 1st orders one beer, 2nd orders half a beer, 3rd orders quarter a beer, 4th orders eighth of the beer.... then bartender has enough, stand TWO BEERS on the counter and says "Here you go, chaps." 😄

(At least I... think it is like that 😄 )

But I love that beginning... "Infinite amount of Mathematicians comes to the pub." 😄 It sounds so hilarious 😄

[leaden basalt]

Yeah, something like that xD

[viscid wadi]

i know another version, and it is more absurd

[leaden basalt]

Well I have a picture of math for each classes in school and universities, but it would be impossible to undertand cuz it's on russian

[leaden basalt]

"Stfu mf, here your 2 cups xD"

[oak trench]

Do Russian people use azbuk for Math too? I thought it is unified on that part.

[viscid wadi]

-1/12 beer bottles i mesnt

[leaden basalt]

Ahhh

This one

Good variant too xD

[leaden basalt]

Hmm

[viscid wadi]

honestly, i just wrote digits of pi i remember)

i am not a mathematitian at all

[oak trench]

YOu still got more than I remember 😄

I always have remembered 3,14159 😄

Not more 😄

[knotty kernel]

to be fair that's precise enough for 99% of actual usecases.

[oak trench]

I often didn't need to use it anyways because wherever I needed to actually count formulas with pi, I was allowed to use calculator 😄

Which gives you accuracy limitely approximating to 100 % 😄

[leaden basalt]

Im using python :3
Used to it, ehe

[oak trench]

Yes when it comes to practically use some formulas, you usually do not need to bother with raw math :3

Python, Matlab or... even Excel 😄

But I ... am glad that I do not need to practically do that in my occupation 😄

I am frontend dev 😄

[leaden basalt]

Im using exel for counting my winrate in tcg xD
Rn its like 70%
Update it every patch xD
Pretty comfortable, yeah
Matlab...the only one thing I still cannot understand ((
Use Mathcad, ehehe

[oak trench]

Yes I did not understand Matlab much either it doesn't resemble any practically used programming language 😄 (IMHO).

We were forced to do matrix calculations in it. Which was.... unnecessarily obscure 😄

I do not remember my winrate of ALL the time, but I do remember my results of previous tournaments 😄

[leaden basalt]

Oh I have pretty comfortable matrix calculator somewhere

Gonna remember how it was called

[knotty kernel]

Matlab is pretty useful for physics and math students who don't program a lot but have a lot of knowledge how to construct the actual math.

[oak trench]

I agree. It seems like that. My sense of programmer and antitalent for Math was interferring with that, though 😄

When it comes to obscure programwritting, Matlab still is at least somehow understandable compared to some other yummy things 😄

[leaden basalt]

Same for mathcad )
I calculated thermal vaporation of cuprum there

[oak trench]

We had a subject on school which was working with FPGA chips and we were supposed to create some programs (not exactly easy ones) on those chips using VHDL... and that..... is something from nightmare.

Because it works unlike anything I have ever seen in programming. Completely counter-intuitive for me.

[knotty kernel]

well that sounds like fun

[leaden basalt]

There were!!!)
Although, I did some mistakes in code so it was like 69¹⁰ years for vaporising 5 kilo of cuprum
And I tried to find where I did a mistake for 2 weeks xD

Found it and was like "how can I be so stupid :/ )

[knotty kernel]

isn't it always like that XD
sounds like the typical experience to me

[leaden basalt]

And in python I calculated quantum output and efficiency of silicon photodetector with variation of p- and n- concentrations

Did a mistake in cycle so my photocurrent was a 100 times different than it should be

Also tried to find where I did it
And then understand that in cycle there were +1 additional calculation
So the decision was to make 2 separate cycles and it works fine

A lot if cool things, ehehe

[frosty coral]

Can't escape math even here

[sacred kelp]

[white geode]

do u get strikes from canceling a match?

[leaden basalt]

Yes you can get it

[carmine trail]

How do we get the card backs btw?

[iron oxide]

3 victories in a single season -> wait for a month or so -> check in-game mail

[carmine trail]

Ah ok, in in game mail then!

Each season is how long?

Thank you also

It's really hard to find updates resources on this considering they're actually a part of the game agah

What card backs is it this time? I won 3, I am so delighted! But I can't remember which is is now lol

[grand linden]

gratz 🙂

it's enkanomiya

you can see it by clicking the tournament-updates tab on the left

[oak trench]

It takes up to 30 days, be ready for that.

Be patient 🙂

[carmine trail]

I cry

Also what's with the gold ones I keep seeing. Is that for first place?

The wiki just says special people

I'm special mentally does that count lmao

(I kid)

[hybrid eagle]

it's for those who made it into prince cup (basically tournament for the best of the best)
i think it's top 16 or top 8

[frosty coral]

Top 8 to be specific

[leaden basalt]

Well top 8 and some players who were in original top 8 but cuz of some reasons cannot go in the USA
So it like ±10 players for each cardback in each server

[carmine trail]

Noice thank you!

[deep sandal]

@versed barn what do I do if I won and but my opponent didnt confirm the result?

do I have to tell qixing or something or will everything just be checked automatically without me needing to do anything?

[viscid wadi]

screen it, cancel match with complaint

[deep sandal]

and should I play a 36th game at the end of the tournament or not?

[maiden harness]

35

[deep sandal]

I didnt cancel, I let the round run out in hopes of the opponent coming back and confirming

is that gonna be an issue?

[deep sandal]

oh they did come back last minute and confirm

it was quite some time ago so I didnt check

thx everyone for the answers tho

[carmine trail]

I got my 3 wins, 2 yesterday and 1 today btw. Thank u friends for believing in me ;_;

[oak trench]

Yaaay! ❤️

[fringe estuary]

now aim for the golden one

So me and opponent played 1 match that went to round limit, then we played second match (which I won) but the round was already cancelled for like 1 min so does it still count or not?

Everyone in eu has bricked scores already

[wicked echo]

i started today with 2 losses

Its fine 31-4 it is

Just have to brick kevins score

[median mauve]

What if I stay undefeated this season?

[wicked echo]

Kevin not playing

That means i can win Na

[desert quest]

Kevin bad Kevin bad

[fleet scroll]

Why you not playing KevinZ and mrpillow?

[fleet scroll]

Your opponent here snowy

[pastel estuary]

[tribal harness]

[knotty kernel]

[wispy rivet]

[fleet scroll]

[verbal rain]

I’m not strong enough I’m not made to do 35 matches I wanna go home

[desert quest]

Pat pat

[fluid shadow]

Good evening, I would like to know which deck to take to improve, thank you in advance for your answers

[grand linden]

so many crabs this season 😦

[knotty kernel]

constantly loose to crab -> damn meta deck
join crab -> keep loosing anyway
i don't like the implications

[oak trench]

Anyone still in the queue?

Started before 23:00?

Well apparently not. No one joined 😦

[viscid wadi]

Where is the army of bots?

We need allies to fight the army of fans

[leaden basalt]

Roger

[oak trench]

I do not feel like bot, nor fan. What am I then? 😄

[leaden basalt]

Maid

[fleet scroll]

Why There lot fan runa wth

[oak trench]

That's cute :3

[fleet scroll]

3 in erupe 3 in America

[frosty coral]

Can't queue and can't cancel either

What do I do?

Nvm fixed now

Discord being weird

[tough dock]

NERF CRAB!

[elfin charm]

I said that when it released, surely an 11hp character that quickly gains hp isn't going to cause problems

[frosty coral]

I'd say nerf crab and Xianyun

[leaden basalt]

Yeah, but we had freese meta + whale that time so crab was in shadow

XD

[viscid wadi]

oh...

ok

[oak trench]

Rather crab, I'd say. Or better yet, make it good since the beginning so that there will be no need for nerfs 😄

[elfin charm]

Yup but just the 11hp was always sus to me

[viscid wadi]

i came out from my losestrike

[white geode]

does it not come with the primo reward?

[oak trench]

It comes separately.

Primos are usually quicker

At least that is what I remember.

[elfin charm]

That's how it was for me too

So i'm guessing it's always like that

[verbal rain]

PSA crab card is based on a overworld boss, after losing a match to one feel free to come to 3D crab and charged attack equitable judgement 🫶

[elfin charm]

we should have all done that with whale too

[knotty kernel]

how did i not think of that?
i think i'll be busy for the next 30 min.

[wispy rivet]

i guess i know what i'll do the next time i see a baby yumkasaurus when exploring natlan

[frosty coral]

Let me guess, got totm stolen?

[hybrid eagle]

steal their benny talent?

[brave ice]

Steal gamblers and gilded

[fringe estuary]

why ?

just play abyss floor 9

[oak trench]

Too easy :3 (level 75 or so, while on WL9 they are level 100 😄 )

[desert quest]

[fringe estuary]

~~When will we can farm baby quagsire ~~

[crude light]

I had a stroke reading that

[desert quest]

[viscid wadi]

Wait

How you ever get visions?

[leaden pond]

#🎨statue-of-the-seven

[viscid wadi]

Tganks

Some of the questions i didn't understand

But whatever

[fringe estuary]

Just spam any answer then retry if it fails

[leaden basalt]

[hybrid eagle]

sometimes still wondering how the matching bot does its magic
got matched with someone from leaderboard who is well ahead by 100 points

[leaden pond]

[solemn burrow]

I think the matchmaking may need some work yeah

It takes a very long time to find an opponent sometimes

Gotta find the balance between fair matchmaking and queue times.

[knotty kernel]

I don't have any of the actual numbers so i might be totally off.
But i think there just aren't that many participants.
And i suspect a significant chunk plays a few games for the cardback and then dips.
So there is just no room to be picky in matchmaking without waiting for ages.

[grand linden]

The matchmaker in the tournament takes ranking into account?

I thought it was completely random

[dire crow]

Yeah but if you don't find any opponent near your scores after a certain time, they could've matched you with the #1 person on the leaderboard

[oak trench]

I sometimes feel like I am the only underdog who plays all matches. As I keep getting top 16 players in later stages of preliminary 😃

[prime sage]

tbf it's reasonable that most ppl would give up after they've already lost too many matches and realised they have no chance of finishing top 16 anyways

[solemn burrow]

Well, they do give out primogems for each win, regardless of ranking, but that may not be enough of an incentive.

[dire crow]

Maybe they should gave out 1 purple fate for every win

[fleet scroll]

Yes nerf crab pls

[fleet scroll]

Shin you playing with crab and saying nerf crab

[tranquil sedge]

Screw the primogems. Playing for the card back is enough torture on its own!

[brave ice]

You playing with crab too

[fleet scroll]

Just one more time vs you only for test

And you see I lose

[frosty coral]

Yeah, I also played whale most of last CTG and hated it. It's just the meta, doesn't mean I enjoy it.

[median mauve]

Did the bot break 🦤

[elfin charm]

[median mauve]

Guess it’s time to sleep

[eager tendon]

lmao I thought my wifi is broken

[median mauve]

[eager tendon]

I want to confirmmmmm

[median mauve]

Surely this is someone’s reason for not making it

[elfin charm]

damn guess ill have to morning queue to catch up

[elfin charm]

ill take that excuse 🦤

[eager tendon]

guess who will u be seeing on morning queue too

(me)

[supple tapir]

[elfin charm]

[median mauve]

Morning queue 🦤

If bot gets fixed the people playing will be very lucky that they won’t have to worry about tanking guaranteed losses

[eager tendon]

i got social life to fulfill in the evening, and last time matches are 🦤

[median mauve]

🦤

[echo shoal]

I have a problem: We can't use the command "giconclude"

Are there other people with this problem?

[supple tapir]

everyone

[leaden basalt]

All of them

[median mauve]

This is actually quite a problem for me

[leaden pond]

welp guess that's an immediate @versed barn then

-# ... though honestly it's like 3am here rn so he's already asleep

[elfin charm]

Morning queue it is then

[fringe estuary]

Kevinz is playing ?

[median mauve]

I promised someone I would play

So I decided to play

[fringe estuary]

oh nyo

[tribal harness]

[knotty kernel]

[fringe estuary]

ya guys played too much which broke the bot

now i cant even check my score

[tribal harness]

[leaden pond]

welp

[frosty coral]

Glad I finished my matches quickly this time

[fringe estuary]

[desert quest]

That KevinZ was playing

[tribal harness]

400 primogems

[hybrid eagle]

that's pretty good

[tidal void]

Hello. When I registered, my player level was 9, but since then I got to level 10, does that cause an issue?

[desert quest]

no

[tidal void]

thanks

[solemn burrow]

Do knockouts start this weekend ?

[leaden basalt]

Pretty sure that yes, but if your not in top 16, it doesnt matter for u

[desert quest]

It probably starts on cn’s monday

[chrome night]

me vs ink r1 real🤡

[viscid wadi]

Alright, i suck...

[leaden basalt]

Wait wat

Last one was Bougainvillea with 27-8 score

After correction

And now its Starwood and F2S again in LB

[chrome night]

I have no idea what’s going on

Can’t face Kevin this patch. Sadge

[wicked echo]

play stall. its hardcounter

[desert quest]

[knotty kernel]

[frosty coral]

Are the matchups still the same way? Like 1st vs 16th and so on?

[fringe estuary]

Yup

[desert quest]

(o´・ω・`)σ)·Д·)

[tawdry scaffold]

[solemn burrow]

Is it me or did the leaderboard change again after verification already ended?

[fringe estuary]

Riku has plot armor

[viscid wadi]

I just have told him lmao)

[fringe estuary]

[viscid wadi]

He deleted genshin because of ragequit)

[fringe estuary]

Lmao now he has to download it again

[crude light]

he deleted genshin because he didnt get top 16?

[leaden basalt]

Yeah, and cuz of this too

[mild birch]

[leaden basalt]

@frosty coral was that you:?

Oh, seems it was someone else with same nickname, nvm

[frosty coral]

Yeah definitely not me

Sometimes I wish I didn't choose such a common nickname smh

[leaden basalt]

[wanton grove]

time for rebranding!

[wanton grove]

damn that's sad :c for how rng it is as well, ragequit is the worst

[frosty coral]

There's no stream for this CTG, right ?

[leaden pond]

seems like it unfortunately

[frosty coral]

What happened? Is it a matter of resources?

[fringe estuary]

how long has it been since the last break for casters ?

[leaden pond]

likely due to Blep stepping down from the desk as he's preparing for his first child

[frosty coral]

Oh, I had no idea. Really happy for Blep 😄

[upbeat salmon]

Haha thanks but I doubt it's because of me, they are plenty of replacement options

[fringe estuary]

we didnt have VA for 5.1 stream now we dont have casters for CTG stream

everything aligns perfectly

[wispy rivet]

quick, get the localization team equivalent for tcg to do the casting

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/805662532354048060/1192856149297471488/1096961646053826700.gif

[leaden pond]

unfortunately that equivalent is... nah I don't even wanna mention it here

[hybrid eagle]

congratulations blep 🎉

[desert quest]

congrats Blep

[scenic hull]

Ooooh, congrats Blep!

Best wishes for smooth sailing with the new baby! I know you may not get many full nights of sleep, but I hope that you will still enjoy things as much as possible

[scenic hull]

Honestly... that might be the editors. And this editor plays Genshin on mobile, so it probably is best not to mention it. My PC is but a pipe dream ;-;

[mellow ore]

I reported my win as a loss in the tournament and got a strike now 😶 Will the strike be removed in the next tournament or will it just stay there forever? 🥲

[dire crow]

Unless they have new system it will get removed next tournament

[mellow ore]

Phew, that’s awesome then! I was really worried 😅 Thank you!

[viscid wadi]

EU finals have EU players

[leaden basalt]

[deep sandal]

I wonder why there are not even silent streams

[tough dock]

who was the person who won CTG?

[leaden basalt]

Krabobuk, but you know him as "Кобальт", I think

[viscid wadi]

Ru player, but with some ieroglifs (CN symbols) in name

[tough dock]

i really wanna see the matches

[viscid wadi]

Uh... It is for people with steel nerves because my life feeling and knowledge about tcg are changed after that creepy kopium

[leaden basalt]

I saw it too

Decks are scary

[viscid wadi]

You know you can win crab mirror after getting overloaded from crab burst 2ce?

[solemn burrow]

I'm interested too, where did you guys see the matches?

[tough dock]

they are on youtube now

[desert quest]

Where

[tough dock]

i pinged you both where the video is

[solemn burrow]

Can I get them too please? 😅

Oh nvm, got it now

Thx Kaito

[wispy rivet]

just sending the link here would be more convenient for others too https://youtube.com/@kpab1127?si=Ycj73Y9za4lqc6dP

[knotty kernel]

oh nice! thanks for the link.

[viscid wadi]

Everyone who had seen those videos, were lost tracelessly)

[wanton grove]

why are there so many sarcastic reactions about it
ink played very well and lost gambling on egg I think (and, honestly, two eggs in a deck is fairly uncommon)
kevinz's first game was good as well and two others were lost because of deck decision (kleesit)

I guess there's less uncertainty in games but game's been in that direction really long now, sadly

but since I'm not playing much now, I may not know much either

[crude crater]

kevin lost bcz he tried to have fun

fun is not allowed

[fringe estuary]

agree

[desert quest]

Runa supports the deck choice. The priority of gaming should be having fun

[viscid wadi]

About kevinZ 0 questions. About ink... Nobody says he played bad. It is just about it looks so... Strange.
Tbf, he skilled with 30 shield instead of bursting for some reason i still can't get. But it is just pretty unbelievable (to me) that you get equal HP in crab mirrors after you are getting overloaded from crab burst 2ce, getting a lot of cyno attacks. (It should be a draw).
Denote the decklist without strat and vanarana but big paimon and 2 ailin engine, 2 egg.
Ink's crab mirror actually the game, that leaves me in disbelieve.
Krab, who is playing stall with superdupergreedy list with no value engines for 8 rounds straight wins pyrocrab with +- same shield artifacts, but gt cyno... Don't say me layla value is that good, i don't want to believe that. I am out

[deep folio]

ink’s crab game was just annoying to watch

[crude crater]

u are anoying to watch

[deep folio]

go away bro you’ve already retired

[crude crater]

ill go where ever i want lil bro

[viscid wadi]

idk, i just felt like an idiot during that "exciting" (painful) game...
maybe i underestimate krab's value of actions but it felt extremely low until some moment... I just don't know

i suck

[mild birch]

Whole game was basically never punished x 23

[wanton grove]

yeah a few moments like that, luck helped here and there
but idk, full picture needed for the best evaluation

at the end

what's sad is us not congratulating the winner, but looking for every minor detail that was possibly wrong

[oak trench]

Not congratulating to the winner, nor saying gg to the loser, nor holding duels which are actually fun is in my humble opinion evergreen of this tournament. 🙂 In S6 I had the most fun out of all 5 I was in, but it was only because I met a friend on my last day and had a cute spar with them and also because of several really tense and thrilling battles in first three days.

[viscid wadi]

All congratulations were made right after games.
Tbf, i would be more impatient than krab, and get punished for ramping.

But looking at it as a theoretic exception feels really strange.

[mild birch]

meow

[carmine trail]

Are we supposed to have gotten our card backs by now?

Its been a month already and I didnt get mine yet

[verbal rain]

Yeah they say rewards get handed after a month when preliminaries get concluded I think? But I noticed it’s a pattern that it comes late, around the time when the next ctg season prelim is happening

Hopefully it’ll come before then fingers crossed

[deep sandal]

you'll get the card backs when ctg top 16 gets a proper format

||which means never||

[leaden basalt]

Okay so, ctg24s7 when

[wispy rivet]

rejoice, for you are released from its shackles

[fringe estuary]

yup seems like no CTg this season

[carmine trail]

Ah ok thanks for letting me know, its my first ever card back like this so I am excited

[knotty kernel]

ohh man. of course it gets paused right after i join.

[deep sandal]

Now you got time to run and save yourself

great

[hybrid eagle]

i appreciate the break if it really doesn't happen

[knotty kernel]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-lurking-gif-22179921

me still checking, cause it might start any moment now

[mild birch]

waiting for ctg

[copper relic]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-annoyed-eyeing-cat-meme-cat-funny-gif-14867130448325066479

My card back....

[deep sandal]

waiting for the day people stop asking for the card backs

[carmine trail]

I apologise if its annoying, ai meter earned one yet and don't know how it works ^^

Though I got some primos....

So now I am confusion

[oak trench]

What is it that confuses you?

[verbal rain]

Oh yeah dw the primogems arrive first then you’ll get the card back later👍

[mild birch]

bananya!!

[carmine trail]

YOS IT IS MOI THE BANANYAN

❤️

Also thank u for clearing it up, I didn't know its sent separately

[stray venture]

but card back = good

[knotty kernel]

i bet my therapist will be impressed

[carmine trail]

CARD BACK GET TY ALLLL

[vast pawn]

😆

So coooool

Best silver card back design ever

[shrewd sage]

S7 when?

[leaden basalt]

No ctg this season

[shrewd sage]

you mean S6 was the last CTG of 2024?

[oak trench]

What is meant I believe is, that no CTG will be for cards revealed in this update. A.k.a Chiori, Electro lector and Eremite Floral dancer. Thus next CTG, if there will be one, will be once cards of 5.2 will air.

(at the soonest)

[shrewd sage]

ah i see

[fringe estuary]

meh i think we r done with 2024 CTG, time for 5.3 rank qualify announcement

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/805662532354048060/1192856149297471488/1096961646053826700.gif
