i'm not lucky at all today

i just got my itto card and adeptus in the end round when I needed them the most before

[tropic vine]

How many invader are here

[hollow imp]

@versed barn earlier, I pointed out about my problem for qinxing-bot, but, noticed that apparently it has not been solved. it will not cause any problems for me?

still wrong uid in program , just would like to be sure that I will not get a disqual for this reason😅

[versed barn]

wait... how was your UID changed after registration?

[hollow imp]

i just miss and enter wrong uid (not mine)

[viscid wadi]

and played game with wrong player

?

[hollow imp]

no

[versed barn]

no i mean, your UID was correct in the first few matches of your, but after that it's changed to something else

OH

it was from the previous tourney

it's fixed now

please be careful with your registration UID next time

[hollow imp]

thank you ^^

[spare shuttle]

I have been ghostpinged WHO DID IT

[exotic briar]

I did, sorry. Figured the thing out by myself xdd

[spare shuttle]

Like man i was excited for a sec

[exotic briar]

Never 'heard the term "roping" before-

[spare shuttle]

Oh ok lol thought it was for a match or help

[spare shuttle]

It's ok do you want an explanation or not?

[exotic briar]

Yeah, let's see if I got it right :"

[spare shuttle]

Roping is a term for timing someone out in card games by running out the turn as long as possible frequently to waste time with malicious intent.

[exotic briar]

Hmm. What's the difference w stalling?

[spare shuttle]

Well as the match are limited by 45min if the opponent decide to rope the match may be cancelled and it will be just a lose of time

[exotic briar]

Got it, thank you!

[spare shuttle]

Welcome

[lost vortex]

ТТ

[spare shuttle]

Sorry but i can't queue right now busy doing other things

Ill queue in the afternoon if you want @lost vortex

[median mauve]

Maybe I should queue

[spare shuttle]

Ohh hey kevinz

[lost vortex]

[spare shuttle]

Imagine doing a matchmaking of an official tournament but nobody came

https://tenor.com/view/frisk-anime-but-nobody-came-gif-13894563

[torn linden]

no incentive to play tbh

I feel like this format is for untiltable people

[crude crater]

Who won previous euro and NA tarvern?

[spare shuttle]

i hate MYYYYY LUCKKKK

[cunning finch]

[spare shuttle]

well that's what happen when you put 90/100 skill and 10/100 luck

[cunning finch]

You are confident enough to say 90% skill tho

My skill is rock bottom

[spare shuttle]

well i'm very confident because i analysed every situation but made just one mistake

forget lotus

and that mistake BY YOUR MIRACLE ended my entire career

[cunning finch]

I don't blame you cuz who would have thought you with helm would be oneshotted

It isn't a miracle if i already had wharf+liben going tho

At the very least i could have one copy of each buff cards?

[spare shuttle]

no i though maybe an adeptus only so it's k but pyro reso adeptus and i forgot the overthing like DAMN

[cunning finch]

Sorry.....

[spare shuttle]

i had copy of buff card

except one weapon

[spare shuttle]

it's k i know now i won't get 16th

[spare shuttle]

Bruhhhhhh seriously

THE BOT

[cunning finch]

@junior harbor

Can someone help us conclude the game?

[spare shuttle]

Did the game count or not @cunning finch

[cunning finch]

The bot is being too slow. I believe it is my lethal outcome, regardless of the endgame where nightmare DCed. I have game replay until where we discussed the game stopped

[cunning finch]

Idk tbh

[spare shuttle]

Just seen it and it didn't

The game haven't been counted

[cunning finch]

I'm too tired to even play ig

[spare shuttle]

So you could play the game again well at least it's that...

[spare shuttle]

Ill play all my 9 game tomorrow

I going to sleep this made my head go numb

• my mom is here i have to great her

[cunning finch]

...

[spare shuttle]

Call me if we ever need to rematch cause bruuhhh

I think we both agree that that game wasn't with pleasure

[cunning finch]

We both low rolled too..

[spare shuttle]

We both low cards too

[cunning finch]

I'm gonna save the replays but i really have no slot

[spare shuttle]

We low everything

[cunning finch]

I still had gamba and sagfrag tho

[spare shuttle]

Save them or record them with your phone

Waiting for my internet to come back personally

Ganyu card could have saved me + she had gamble so yeap (i could have got my other shield artefact) so much possibilities yet none are safe

@cunning finch have a goodnight man and i wanna rematch with you as friend next time hehe you were impressive

[cunning finch]

Next time we'll meet as casual match. I'm nothing close to impressive tho

[spare shuttle]

I like you respectful and a good opponent

[cunning finch]

You too.. hope low rolling won't get your blood pressure too pumped up

[spare shuttle]

No you don't see your own value but i see it

[cunning finch]

Cuz if you see the rematch, i hsve no good dice this time too.. sigh

[spare shuttle]

Oh don't worry i'm used to it it's always like that after all even in my pulls

[spare shuttle]

I had one time good dice but just once

[cunning finch]

My dice was.. needing to tune even with paimon liben and i bottom deck my dicefixers

[spare shuttle]

But yeap this game was just more horrific than any fnaf horror game in term of being horrible

[spare shuttle]

[cunning finch]

No small Paimon, no tossup, and of course no pyro res

[spare shuttle]

As usual

Maybe ill try one more game but that's all i'm thinking now of just erasing genshin cause of tcg

[viscid wadi]

Meanwhile me, extremely disappointing about myself going 4-1 everyday and 3-2 yesterday (today i passed. Only played weekly. Gonna 10 games tomorrow)

[lime thicket]

Anyone know how they’re gonna seed the knockouts?

Is it going to be the same as last time?

[spare shuttle]

You have seen my garbage luck man I'm always ALWAYS because of it 3-2 and two time 2-3

[crude crater]

How was it the last time?

[ornate glacier]

1st vs 16th, 2nd vs 15th ecc

I think it's gonna be that way

[crude crater]

Oh

[torn linden]

only at last day I've started to play more or less ok

still cant count lethals

[next owl]

oh hi

[torn linden]

hasnt made into top 32

[spare shuttle]

ok 2-1 for now

ill try a 4-1 today

[torn linden]

[spare shuttle]

bruh i missplayed one time the oppenent got all card he needed and punished me

[torn linden]

Playoff would be more meme if instead of 1-16, 2-15 and etc, matches were made by pairing 1-9, 2-10, 3-11

[lost vortex]

when will the knockout rounds start?

[torn linden]

next week

look for your time at #🎫register

[lost vortex]

OMG
Thanks a lot!
didn't see this information

[next owl]

is everyone in or only a few

was top 16 right?

[torn linden]

top 16

[next owl]

sadge

am still happy tho

100th place still a funny number

[viscid wadi]

When i feel like i a bit faked my tavern with some awful games

[spare shuttle]

what your rank in the europe ?

[viscid wadi]

4

[spare shuttle]

and in all servs ?

[viscid wadi]

??? In NA top 7-11 i think...
278 points. Go to leaderboard and see.
I AS i am not qualified. That's all i can say

[spare shuttle]

👍

[restive vault]

Nobody except #1 in NA would have qualified in Asia

That's how much higher asia difficulty level is

[viscid wadi]

I mean. More Players <=> more bad players<=> easier to get good score

[next owl]

wanna play tcg sometime tomorrow?

[spare shuttle]

asia is just be a pro or succomb to death

[spare shuttle]

if i can sure

[next owl]

and?

[next owl]

jean is way too good in tcg

im like worst tcg player but finally defeated someone

[viscid wadi]

Wait: about knockouts: before top 4 is it just 3 decks BO3.
If we play 3 decks 1 ban, how is it going to be. Don't we have to bring same lineup to each knockout round? Or... How?

Or we are just revealing decks in special matchroom and E.T.C.

When reveal deck, we don't reveal lists, right?

propably 3 decks 1 ban is my major GITCG thoughts issue

[torn linden]

per #1096770459892191284 there is no info about deck bans and showing decks before match

it just require to use 9 different characters in 3 decks

[torn linden]

bracket is up

[torn linden]

sadly we cant watch matches until semis

[torn linden]

The 1st Quarter-final monkaS

[viscid wadi]

I could have recorded them, but imma lazy

[torn linden]

now when discord finally shows nicknames instead of numbers, I noticed upper half of bracket is insane

[somber kindle]

what do u mean?

[torn linden]

too stacked

each of four quarter-finalists can be a winner

[median mauve]

[viscid wadi]

You scare me, you can see future

[torn linden]

if I could do that, I would've placed into playoff

[torn linden]

two semifinalists

[torn linden]

banger final incoming?

[viscid wadi]

WAIT,,, pie-mon passed kirano(!))

omg)

and i again screwed in top 8(

[versed barn]

SURPRISED

how the turned have tables

[marble jacinth]

[exotic furnace]

kirano washed

[median mauve]

[torn linden]

who is user hidden by number in 2nd semi?

[torn linden]

too hard bracket

[viscid wadi]

I mean... I am not proud of my gameplay. In all games i spotted mistakes, but really rookie were 1 and 3... In 3 i just... Melted(

[torn linden]

first finalist

[torn linden]

[viscid wadi]

Omg, crimlet actually sweeps

[torn linden]

in single match vs him I got pwned

[crystal schooner]

asia player sleeping

while they sweep

:clueless:

[exotic furnace]

crim W

funny how ive actually never played them

[torn linden]

will there be any tournies before 3.7?

major is invite-only

[tropic vine]

Asia invader ftw

[viscid wadi]

I played 2 times due prelims. 1-1. But 1 day i decided to stop with MMEC and 2nd time i wanted to train geoceanid, beginning to play that the day before

[torn linden]

so you played geoceanid in playoff?

[viscid wadi]

In prelims... Not in play off. Cuz slot to MMEC

Is too... Good(

[torn linden]

what you used as second and third deck?

Kevin

[cunning finch]

May i guess

Pyrokeq?

[viscid wadi]

In top 16 i had a xiangling instead of fischl and played SC and pyrokeq.
And against LaMeviZ i used pyrokeq and quicken and brainfarted, tbh(should have used sara mona cyno i can play but it is what it is)

[ornate glacier]

2 pyro keq is showing as incredibly strong.

[torn linden]

oh so I wasn't the one who did Mirror Maiden Vape

pyrokeq is ben agent keq?

[viscid wadi]

yep

[tropic vine]

Lameviz vs zcrim

[torn linden]

I feel like overloaded and swirl will need nerfs

[crude crater]

Swirl is fine

Legends say it will actually get buffed

[torn linden]

double anemo will be op

[tropic vine]

[crystal schooner]

swirl and overload are balanced

the issue with overload is bennett's talent is kinda just

disgusting

[torn linden]

I'm just already seeing a two polearm cards wreckting everyone

[lime thicket]

Big F

Also that's partly my fault

I forgot to use Bennett's talent card in my duel against Piemon

Probably would've won otherwise

Still kinda painful to think about tbh

But I guess it is what it is

Wait

KevinZ lost to LaMeviz?

What???

Lmao what's even happening anymore

Please for the love of god don't let an Asian player win EU

[fringe estuary]

Yes Asian dominated every servers

[viscid wadi]

I saw penny's games against crimlet... I want to hoghroll on pyrokeq like him)))
At least penny won FufFu))))

[torn linden]

Major more important /s

[cunning finch]

There is vod?

[crude crater]

So who won EU ?

[lime thicket]

Finals is being streamed right now

[thin jungle]

zcrimlet

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1019182719311298570/1063497840673959956/TE_POGGIES.gif

[lime thicket]

Yikes

[crude crater]

What about NA

[crude crater]

Naah too lazy to watch

[thin jungle]

about to start in 2h 30m

wishing for Dottier to take another AS domination

[crude crater]

[lime thicket]

Why are AS players like this

[torn linden]

next tourney when?

also raffle

[versed barn]

[marble jacinth]

[viscid wadi]

Life is a tourney

[versed barn]

come with me and take the tourney

Added 3 new FAQs regarding the no proof submission for Preliminary Phase~ Check 6, 7, 8 in #1097076637868236850

[torn linden]

tool to check if round really happened

I wonder what that means

[cunning finch]

What do you do with disputes if there is no screenshot?

[versed barn]

if it's required for investigation, you might be asked to screenshot from your Duel Replay

[cunning finch]

What i wonder is for example there are moments where (esp in knockout) ppl just concede round 1 cuz wrong deck. Or if some players talk about ruling stuff in chat and and conceded and rematch for example. How then is the tool gonna take it?

[versed barn]

oh, no-proof submission only applies to prelim rounds, knockouts stay the same

[cunning finch]

It happened in prelims too tho

When for whatever reason, a player has to concede and rematch

[versed barn]

oh, you mean the conceding match was agreed upon by both players?

[cunning finch]

Do you mind if I DM sth about this?

[versed barn]

the last match played will take priority

[cunning finch]

Mostly this

But there is one more stuff i need to make sure

[versed barn]

you can always report to #📨contact-qixing with line num 9 if something fishy is brewing

[cunning finch]

I just wanna ask about a scenario cuz it happened to me last prelim (tho i didn't take action). I rethink and if i were to be in same situation again, I'll auto concede and ask for rematch

[versed barn]

conceding is regarded as a loss, so please make sure to have the other player's consent before doing so

mhm sure

[cunning finch]

@versed barn may i delete the msg?

[versed barn]

yes

[cunning finch]

Tbh i think this problem is in similar situation as disconnection and problematic players

Tho I'll take that into consideration

[versed barn]

disconnection will result in a concession after a while, free win

if they're also disconnected from discord... best to cancel the match

[cunning finch]

Wait why did i get flagged for bad words?

Uh.. i just wanted to say

[versed barn]

dw about it, just a false positive

[cunning finch]

Isn't it in the rulebook: if player DC and managed to agree upon sth, doesnt it mean that we can rematch

Altho often the room time is so short for a rematch ngl

In that particular case

[versed barn]

it's best to cancel the match if it's not going anywhere due to time being short

[cunning finch]

[versed barn]

canceling won't give you a strike, so it's best to move on if that was the case

[cunning finch]

Thx ponpon for the help

I hope next CTG there won't be such stupid BM moments

And things go smoothly

[versed barn]

np! but if you come across a problematic player, please let the CTG Mods know so they can investigate further

[cunning finch]

Next time i should. I have not done anything from last 2 seasons but there have been 2-3 instances i got into problematic players..

Perhaps time to actually take action if this recur

[rich bolt]

[somber kindle]

are prizes available yet for the season 2?

[spare shuttle]

Hehehehehehe prepare yourselves everyone

[stiff steeple]

Hi, small question regarding ellegible country list. Why is it so strange? I'm from Poland and PayPal is working here for worldwide transfers

[exotic shadow]

I'm not seeing mmec as much this patch
is it not good anymore?

[exotic briar]

There are many new options

I get a feeling that Baal might be the new meta

Got scared by the time adjustment for a moment, lol. Then saw that the bottom line for mornings didn't move, phew

[exotic shadow]

yeah raiden is really strong

honestly, I'm just glad it's gone

don't like seeing the same decks all the time

[exotic briar]

The diversity is so much broader now. Wondering what decks will win in s2

[lime thicket]

Are there still people calling her Baal lmao

[rocky axle]

hey guys

i found my self registered here for the touranment

any tips on good decks

just started tcg this version

[exotic briar]

i'm just lazy

[supple arch]

I'm going to join the tournament as well! I just need to think for evil deck😎

[eager wolf]

I'd recommend joining the GITCG server!

[rocky axle]

There’s a server?

[eager wolf]

Yuupp

#🤝partnered-servers message

[scarlet lantern]

How to make sure my registration is done

[versed barn]

when you press Register again in #🎫register , the bot would prefill all the info you provided, that means your registration is saved!

[scarlet lantern]

Thanks

[stiff steeple]

I apologize for the ping, but I couldn't find the information. Does Preliminary Phase require three decks or one? I see that Knockout Phase is a standard bo3, but what about Preliminary Phase?

[scarlet lantern]

Wait , i need to prepare 3 decks? Is this optional or it's a must?

[cunning finch]

Bo3 is only for top16 afaik

[spare shuttle]

@versed barn if i don't have PayPal or a way to receive the money can it be put into my genshin account as primogemmes? (with the method that was used for the wekling moon)

[versed barn]

Preliminary Phase is Bo1~ instructions will be sent when you get matched with another player

[versed barn]

Yes, we offer Genesis Crystal packs and gift cards as alternatives for those who can't do PayPal

[exotic furnace]

nice because i dont have it

i wouldnt be winning anything anyway tho

[crude crag]

It's 8:27 june 12th also "Times shown based on your local time zone." so why hasn't the tournament started yet?

#preliminary-queue isn't working

@versed barn Do you know the actual timezone? I thought u guys used the relative timestamp but it looks like not

Actually I think I found the problem, in #🎫register it says 1:00 PM which that would be in 4 hours and a half from now I guess, in #preliminary-queue you didn't use the relative timestamp

Man I even woke up early

Would've been nice if u guys updated the #preliminary-queue and #🎫register times too.......

So now it's 3 in the morning 1 day from now.......

wait nvm that's few months ago

so when's it supposed to start then? Can someone clarify please?

[cunning finch]

check the preliminary phase timeframe

it starts today in 3,5 hours, so the morning queue isnt up

[torn linden]

yeah day 1 has only evening

while last day only morning

will it be 35 or 40?

[cunning finch]

I think Im way too busy to finish all these matches.. we'll see.. i wish we have like 3/day and done..

[spare shuttle]

Same for me but i honestly think it will be a 5/day like the usual

[plain panther]

35

[versed barn]

It's a 24 hour reset, so no matter the start time, as long as it lasts 7 days, you will have 35 games to play

[raven bough]

So in total you can play 35 games?
Is it seperated over 7 days (5 games per day) or just 35 games over 7 days

[versed barn]

it is still 5 games per day, with the unused quota being added up to the next day if any

[raven bough]

alr noted thanks

[supple arch]

Have this tournament started yet? If not then when?

I don't quite understand this, I'm new to this tournaments

[cunning finch]

You can only queue during the intended time

Check #preliminary-queue

[supple arch]

Okay thanks!

[sullen flare]

Now we don't have to send win/lose screenshots? Or we do have to do and it was not before mentied in FAQ?

[thin jungle]

yes no need to send screenshots anymore... just declare if you win or lose

[sullen flare]

Oh, thank you

[thin jungle]

Did you guys know?

new card back can be purchased after u finish the event

[crude crag]

I did

[crude crag]

does all of the unused quota get added?

this doesn't seem fair though, someone won't get to play all the matches

[crude crag]

in 1 hour and half if I'm not mistake

[crude crag]

What event

[thin jungle]

the main TCG event

[crude crag]

but I finished it years ago

???

[thin jungle]

years????

[crude crag]

I mean weeks ago

lol

it was sarcasm man

means when it came out

[thin jungle]

if u finished it then u can check the shop now

[crude crag]

I did and found nothing

[thin jungle]

well

[crude crag]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-rising-metal-gear-rising-revengeance-raiden-senator-armstrong-source-gif-25038929

[crude crag]

excuse me but where's this 5 games per day thing come from? is there a ruleset? I haven't found anything of the sort in the relevant channels

[versed barn]

you can check your match quota in the #1073554428474437743 of your current server~

[crude crag]

Thanks! but this should've been made more clear either in #🎫register or #preliminary-queue channels, it's an important rule after all

imho

[versed barn]

oh, sorry I missed the meaning of your question. But you're right, it should be added into #preliminary-queue to avoid confusion

the FAQ #23 also has info about this... but idk if anyone wanna read that wall of texts in details

[crude crag]

Thank you

[crude crag]

I do, but I completely missed it, nvm then it was there all along 😅

my bad

[torn linden]

is it allowed to stream prelim games on discord?

[eager wolf]

Yes, if you dont care about the possibility of your opponent watching your stream. It's up to you.

[thin jungle]

[stark matrix]

how should i do if i register with a wrong uid? (the correct one has 1 number different)

@versed barn

[versed barn]

it's best to #📨contact-qixing and go number 9, don't forget to include your correct UID there

[stark matrix]

thank

[stark matrix]

qixing is still on their way to help me with the issue since half hour ago

but nothing

@versed barn

[marble jacinth]

responses can be within 24 hours depending on who's awake to help, so patience would be appreciated!

[stark matrix]

oh ok, got it

[supple otter]

I cant use the /gionclude command am I writing it wrong

[stark matrix]

u missed a "c"

[supple otter]

Oh i am so dumb sorry for disturbing

[stark matrix]

nope

[silent sorrel]

2 hours ago and already no opponents

[spare shuttle]

@versed barn i can't see my rank

[atomic shale]

is there a way to see the full leaderboard? I want to know roughly how many players there are currently in the tournament. but can only see top 16, and lowest I was at was 24th, so hard to say if its 25, or 75.

[crude crag]

oh wow I'm 11th, I thought I'd be much lower

is Eu really that void of players

[fringe estuary]

Go to AS then

we have a leaderboard that full of 5-0 in day 1

[eager wolf]

Scary

[rich bolt]

Na is also scary. filled with 4-1

[junior harbor]

No, only top 16

[viscid wadi]

4-1 is not so bad. It is>than possible even 7 days in a row)). But 5-0 is a curse. I lost because i thought lotus is more possible than itto + 2nd temptation in opponents 4 cards.) I mean, again QED that my intuition sucks( in this game)

[spiral bay]

Damn, didn't realise quota updates between timeslots :(

[plain panther]

Can't find any match

[tropic vine]

u jumped to eu

[plain panther]

I can't play on Asia, got completely destroyed

Asia is too scary

[somber kindle]

people voted for 8-12 queues, still nobody queueing???

[silent sorrel]

most people haven't their matches qouta refresh yet

since yesterday

[lean path]

hello will I lose match quota if I cancel the match? It has been 10 minutes and my opponent is not responding.

[plain panther]

I got dc and waste 1 round, fortunately I still win

[lean path]

@marble jacinth

[plain panther]

a good start

[viscid wadi]

My start is desperate(

[exotic furnace]

dw

you're eu

[viscid wadi]

Cuz WHEN EVER IN THE WORLD i'll 5-0

[exotic furnace]

so its easier for you to qualify

[viscid wadi]

4-1 is tilting

[viscid wadi]

Wait, yiu have invaded EU?

You DON'T KNOW ARK'S FATE?

[viscid wadi]

Wait, you take part in eu tavern?

[exotic furnace]

NA

[exotic furnace]

im not a cope player

[fringe estuary]

come back to AS guys

its hell

[crude grail]

discord changed my tag will it ruin my participation?

[versed barn]

nope

[crude grail]

thank you 😊

[spare shuttle]

@versed barn i won against my opponent and he went off

He disconnected in discord and isn't confirming

[cunning finch]

[spare shuttle]

It's horrible i don't wanna cancel the match cause it was already finished

[cunning finch]

[spare shuttle]

And i don't have time to play another game

[cunning finch]

Srsly

[cunning finch]

I read more of these shit happening than last season

#📨contact-qixing

[spare shuttle]

I even have all recorded now

[cunning finch]

The mod will conclude it but it prob will take time

[spare shuttle]

Yep i just sended everything to them hope they do i'm stressed lol

[cunning finch]

I got highrolled against so many times already

[spare shuttle]

Oh btw chocchip how is your games

[cunning finch]

Luck is not on my side

[spare shuttle]

Rip same for me

I'm now in 4-5 if we don't count the unconfirmed game

But if we do ill be in 5-5

CAUSE OF DICE roll

[cunning finch]

I mean.. i thought i was winning.. until there was 3 stackable healing item + lotus.. and Adeptus after

[spare shuttle]

No from me it was only dice or else i would have won

And one time card

[cunning finch]

I've come to term with dice as long as there are 3 playable

[spare shuttle]

I got 0 dice playable 3 time in 3 different game

So imagine

[cunning finch]

Happens

[spare shuttle]

Sadly

[cunning finch]

Problem is if you don't get ramps also

I think i kinda play badly too cuz I'm testing new decks

I played way too much cope since the beginning of 3.7 when everyone already has their new comfort deck

[spare shuttle]

Ill be going to play different decks everyday personally

[cunning finch]

[spare shuttle]

I don't have a fixe deck yet so

[cunning finch]

I rotate 3 decks ish rn

Wanna try sth new but too risky to cook

[spare shuttle]

I rotate 10 deck

[cunning finch]

Either way

I need to fix my skill issue

[spare shuttle]

Hehe if my party is counted ill be right behind or in front of you hehe in leaderboard

[cunning finch]

At some point i hope i don't queue into difficult players, but if i still think like that.. my skill issue is way too apparent

[spare shuttle]

Same lol i'm scared of losing cause of my luck so i say that but I NEED TO FIX MY MINDSET

Set Your Heart Ablaze

https://tenor.com/view/rengoku-gif-24812509

[viscid wadi]

I have never been so in tilt as today... My counting lines is cope

I got noelle NA 'd with guoba)

The ONLY card that could ever win... It was found

I got 2 itto'd... Tbf, by my mistake, cause i wanted to use lotus after tandori, but brainfarted as always

I wanna quit this game

Chao

[stiff steeple]

Quick question, I hope it doesn't seem rude. Why are there so many players with very low AR? I played today against a guy with 34 AR. Got on him twice, he played very well and then I checked that his stats are 9-1. Do some people play from multiple accounts at once or only play TCG but don't play the main game?

[spare shuttle]

They can be smurf account

Sadly we can't be so sure

[lime thicket]

There’s a sizable amount of Asian players who’ve signed up in NA and EU instead for easier competition

[exotic furnace]

asians

[spare shuttle]

Imagine creating an alt to simplify the way you get Top Tcg player lol maannn you're here to prove you're strong NOT th opposite

[plain panther]

No

I don't want to come back to AS

I have migrated here

[plain panther]

Most likely asian players invaded other servers

Some good Asian players move to EU / NA, because Asia is on a completely different level

[fringe estuary]

we AS miss you

Lets go back and suffer with us

[plain panther]

[fringe estuary]

[plain panther]

And I'm AR 32, btw

[plain panther]

I already got completely destroyed on the previous tournament

Asia is too scary

[fringe estuary]

Same

[plain panther]

So, I don't dare to choose Asian difficulty again

[fringe estuary]

[plain panther]

I guess i'm not true asian

[fringe estuary]

Bsian

[plain panther]

[exotic furnace]

Fsian

[plain panther]

I can't queue

[torn linden]

@versed barn giconclude command doesnt work as well

[versed barn]

hold up, it's being checked

[raven bough]

indeed, in case the points need to be added manually. I lost the match against @torn linden

[versed barn]

@torn linden please try using the command to conclude the match

[raven bough]

thats what i tried but the bot said the interaction failed

[versed barn]

please do it again

[torn linden]

Thanks

[raven bough]

ah yes now it works thanks!

[versed barn]

yay

cuz it's just fixed

[rich bolt]

Struggle of eu players

[plain panther]

@obtuse latch I just realized I was actually winning, but I actually resign, I didn't expect my summons deal bigger damage than I expected

So, that's why you're confused

My mind was already blank at that time

[obtuse latch]

There is still next time, don't give up until the end.

[obtuse latch]

I forgot to eat

[obtuse latch]

It's okay, just keep calm.

[plain panther]

I just thought there's no way I can win with 1 char against 3 char
So, I just resign

[exotic briar]

The match quota didn't update, huh
I have 10/10 rn

[exotic furnace]

this is why they say

never resign

[fringe estuary]

Yup never resign guys, let the winner cook and flex you with their last attack

[plain panther]

Yeah
But I already feel despair at that time
Because it's 1 vs 3, so I resigned and didn't realize I was winning

All of my opponents today use nahida ec
Literally all 5 of them, and I lost 4 of them (including where I resign)

Skill issue

[fringe estuary]

You are not playing NEC

Then join the the dark side

[plain panther]

I just tried it in my last 3 matches

[fringe estuary]

So mirror match NEC

[plain panther]

I'm still new to the deck, though
That's one of the reasons I keep losing

I just made the deck today after losing twice against NEC

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to use it

After playing against 5 of them today
I think I've got an idea now

[fringe estuary]

Noice, now its time to bully non NEC players

Spread NEC far and wide

[plain panther]

I was getting bullied by NEC players today

[fringe estuary]

Just high roll pyro Keq

Counter every deck if high roll

[plain panther]

I hope tommorow I won't lose again

[fringe estuary]

[plain panther]

[fringe estuary]

[plain panther]

Somehow I'm still on leaderboard despite I have so many losses today, if it's on Asia, it's pretty much time to quit

I think I have figured out how to use NEC now, but I still don't know how to counter it

[fringe estuary]

Bring 2 sango shrine and 2 hydro res ez

Oh and 2 laments

[plain panther]

[fringe estuary]

2 send off

Surely you can beat it

[plain panther]

I see, thank you

[fringe estuary]

[plain panther]

Time to arrange the deck so I won't get bullied again by NEC users

[spiral bay]

man im bad

[silent sorrel]

nah, that's highroll issue

[lime thicket]

For some reason, I can't hear myself getting pinged in #preliminary-queue when I've found a match

This basically forces me to check in on the channel constantly every single minute or else I'll miss it, which I find horribly annoying

Anyone know how I can fix this?

[silent sorrel]

I have same problem btw

[spare shuttle]

I have bad dice and my cards troll me lol

[stiff steeple]

Yeah, I think you're totally right. Two of my five games today were against AR ~30, with a bad ping. Not that I am against it, the guys are in fact stronger than me. But I do not really understand what is the point of regional tournaments than. Why can't we have one major one

[spare shuttle]

There's a cash price

So of course some person would try to sneak in Eu to take them

[vestal junco]

Is it time for EU to invade other regions as well

In that case, I recommend sending kevinz over to AS

[spiral bay]

all asians will hang out at eu and all europeans at asia. balance

[somber kindle]

@vestal junco you're always x-0 (

[sullen flare]

My opponent need to go and accept defeat in duel. Can we stop our round?

[sullen flare]

Oh, i should just to cancel it

[spare shuttle]

Cancel it

I found my deck the one i'm mega confortable with

Hehehe

[crude crag]

https://tenor.com/view/no-donkeys-shrek-gif-16041065

[plain panther]

That's definitely Asians

[atomic shale]

sounds about right

[plain panther]

It's because Asia server has too many strong players there and it's really hard to qualify knockout round, so some people decided to make alt and move to EU / NA to have less competition

[atomic shale]

I guess its fine, unless if they enter both sides of the tournament

[plain panther]

Most of them just choose 1 server

At least some people I know don't play on Asia anymore

[atomic shale]

fair enough

I forgot the unless there lol

since I do belive thats against the rules, at least saw a dude get banned for it here a few days ago

Im still matching, but i guess its not gonna find me a person since its past 10

was hoping id find someone in the last 10 minutes, but its now over so guess not

[plain panther]

Invading AS will be hard
And If you know about the previous tournament, the winners of all regions are Asians (including EU & NA server)
And dottier is not even qualify to KO bracket on 2nd alpha tournament, I don't remember zcrimlet qualify or not

[plain panther]

Yeah, that's not allowed, but there's no the staffs can check it

[atomic shale]

I wonder how they caught that one dude then

[stiff steeple]

By the way, I remember your nickname on Prince Cup discord, did you pass the qualifiers?

[atomic shale]

lost in the group stage sadly! but getting ready for the next one, how about you?

6-4 so far here, so doing not too bad, just didn't have enough time to do all my matches

was 6-2, but had 2 bad matchup just at the end there, so 6-4, hoping to claw it back to a bit more positive again

[stiff steeple]

I lost both matches, in the first I got a pretty strong player, I think nickname was Dia, and in the second lacked one dice in the final match.

So didn't seen group stage

[atomic shale]

ouch, I know dia, he is a part of my group haha

he is good

I had in my group the number 1 player from the prev cat tails tournament lol

and then 2 pretty strong players too

so sadly the first match loss the what id consider the nr1 EU player, set me back badly, and I didnt recover from it

KevinZ if your wondering

[stiff steeple]

By the way, it initially seemed to me that 8 groups were made just to invite each player from among the finalists of the first season

I think there were exactly eight of them

And 24 guys from last chance

[atomic shale]

yeah, well, the way it worked was 8 invites, 16 normal players, and 8 Loser bracket players

it would have been 16 invites, and 16 normal players, but they didnt have enough EU invite players

in which case each group would have been 2 invites, 2 normals

or like, 2 invites, 1 normal 1 loserbracket

in the group of friends I kept contact with during the tournament, we all had different experiences in the groups, some had it fairly easy, just winning 3-0, some had it rough but still got a few wins, and some were just completely wrecked. The groups were definetly a bit unbalanced.

[stiff steeple]

just winning 3-0
By the way, has they gotten special card shirt yet?

I remember Ivan said that winners from each group will receive them

I hope it's animated

[lime thicket]

I’m a moron and forgot to register myself on time after qualifying through Cat’s Tail

So that’s potentially a few thousand dollars I just missed out on

[stiff steeple]

Well considering that the second season of the Cats Gathering started so early, hopefully the Prince's Cup will be held every season

[atomic shale]

I dont know actually, I thought it was only top 8? Ill have to ask

which sadly no one I know got through too

since everyone wiped on groups or the top 16

[atomic shale]

that would be quite fast

[median mauve]

Join me in this endeavor and I’m down

[torn linden]

[vestal junco]

Unfortunately I can’t since I don’t have an AS alt

Maybe you can convince ting to go with you

[plain panther]

I already got matched and waiting for a while, but there's no new room

Then, I tried to queue again, but I can't

[small garden]

i think queue is broken

[spare shuttle]

Why am i not in leaderboard hmmmm

Ill answer this question card and dice luck

[woeful hull]

I mean QXT is an EU player.. And always has been

At least from what I know

[vestal perch]

i got a guy that is afk after we played our game before confirming the game results

what should i do?

@graceful blaze i require assistance

[versed barn]

please use the #📨contact-qixing to report the player, if you haven't already~

[rocky axle]

im soo badd

[torn linden]

is it supposed to be like that? @versed barn

I mean 5 mins passed already

[main egret]

Having the same issue here as well

[versed barn]

hold on let me check

@main egret @torn linden please try queueing again now

[main egret]

It says queueing so I think it’s working

[torn linden]

how to cancel queue?

[versed barn]

pls dismiss the old messages, the queue was canceled on the server side, so you should be able to press the Start button again now

[torn linden]

thanks

[main egret]

Thank you

[torn linden]

(30th minute of searching has started)

[plain panther]

2-3 today

[coral heart]

What does it mean on the leaderboard if instead of a name, there's just a sequence of random digits? Like most of the names are just <@ 1089192915814858803> or similar.

just 🤔

[plain panther]

Idk

But you can see it after you that person in chat

2 more days

[coral heart]

Oh interesting some of the numbers turned into names I recognise since I last looked

[coral heart]

so it looks different for me

So if the max number of games goes up by 5 per day is the final total going to be 35 games?

[plain panther]

Yes

[tropic vine]

How long does eu matchmaking take

[torn linden]

10+

[plain panther]

Sometimes it took me almost 30 minutes especially in early morning session

Most people play at night session, but it's midnight in my place

[tropic vine]

Struggle of eu players. Perseverance > skill in prelims

[plain panther]

But it's much easier here to reach leaderboard, even with my acute skill issue, somehow I can reach 2nd on leaderboard

There are still many players haven't finished their games, but I think I just need about 5 more wins on the next 2 days to secure my position on leaderboard

[white basalt]

if opponent concede, what should i do?

[versed barn]

you get your win, and the opponent can be punished

[viscid wadi]

I finally found nickname for a day for 9 wins in a row))) i mean, as Captain Vrungel said: the same you call the ship it will float

[lime thicket]

I think it counts as a loss if you cancel

[undone oxide]

If both cancel it's void

I already won against him
Don't wanna play again
I want new opponents

If not than I guess we have to play again

[spiral bay]

I dont think you can cancel just because

Better to play it

You wont get them again after that

[undone oxide]

I see

[lime thicket]

I’m pretty sure you’re straight up not allowed to cancel a match because you don’t feel like playing against a certain person

Obviously

Since if it was allowed people would just abuse it to avoid all the stronger players

[plain panther]

Yeah

[undone oxide]

Ok no problem

It's done

He did brought diff deck

So it didn't matter if the opponent was same

I can't find the leaderboard?

[undone oxide]

Nvm got it

[plain panther]

The last day

[spiral bay]

There's one more day

i hope i'll be able to stay in top 16. i really doubt i'll win anything, but being in knockouts feeds my ego, that should be enough of a reward

[plain panther]

Yeah, same

[frosty coral]

Does it not end today in the evening queue window?

[spiral bay]

it should end in 22 hours if im not being dumb

[undone oxide]

I don't think I'll qualify

Should not have played cope decks

I guess I need to keep sniping top players

[spare shuttle]

It's done on purpose so if cancel you lose

[misty island]

Damn, 23-12 such a bad result... but probably it will be enough

[somber kindle]

Nobody did so good this session in europe!

[frosty coral]

You should not look at other regions and think "If they go 25-0 it must mean they are better players"

It simply means they have more players, therefore higher number of weaker people to get easy points from.

[coral heart]

Yeah I think Shin is right, they just have so many more players. Maybe the top players are better in Asia but it's just an indicator of the range of abilities in the field.

I felt like I've played against most of the people in the top 10 in EU

[spare shuttle]

Where do i see how much win have i done?

[undone oxide]

In the leaderboard section

[spare shuttle]

Need one last opponent

Who can still lunch matchmaking pls

[plain panther]

I want to play night session, but I can't wake up earlier

I hope I can play all matches on morning session

Somehow I still on the leaderboard

But I still need to play all my games

[coral heart]

Good luck, hope you manage to make it

[plain panther]

Yeah, I think I just need 1-2 wins to secure my position on leaderboard

[coral heart]

I think so, should be doable for sure

[plain panther]

Yeah

I just wondered how long the queue will be since most players have finished all of their matches

[coral heart]

It's true, and most of the players still playing at this point are good players instead of casual players from my experience

but if you can fit in a few games then good luck

[plain panther]

Yeah

[fringe estuary]

Ugh wish i had made an EU account

[plain panther]

No, just stay on asia

[fringe estuary]

[plain panther]

My position should be quite safe now, but if the leaderboard doesn't change I'll play against kevinz

I should win 1 more game to avoid kevinz

[plain panther]

2 times queue, but no opponents

[torn linden]

queueing for 3rd time

update

4th time

[plain panther]

[somber kindle]

i'm happy i managed to end my games yesterday while traveling

[torn linden]

[plain panther]

Same

[plain panther]

I have secured my position on the leaderboard now
And I have also dodged kevinz, I don't know will be my opponent

Who's below upup?

[misty island]

So, seems like eu leaderboard will not change anymore and this is final state.

[plain panther]

There are still 2 hours left

[silent gust]

so is everyone that goes to knockout stage given a place in prince cup?

or is it top 8 from knockout

[spiral bay]

top 24 i think

[silent gust]

oh what top 24 of prelims?

[torn linden]

I thought Prince Cup is over

[spiral bay]

for next one i assume?

idk, last one was top 24 + 8 from the other one i think
technically more from the other one bc a lot of people from tavern couldn't make it to prince

[silent gust]

in tournament updates where it specifies prizes it says guaranteed a spot in the prince cup for 'top players' but unclear how many

i'm assuming it's next one ye

[silent gust]

oh nice, a lot of people then

[spiral bay]

or wait i might be lying, im not sure anymore

checked the astra carnival page and got confused

[plain panther]

I can reach 5th place if I play one more game regardless I win / lose

Because 5th & 6th place have exactly same score as me, but I think I'll stop for now

Who's the one above veliydar?

[spiral bay]

i dont see the name either. theres a site that lets you check discord account based on account id, try it?

[versed barn]

[torn linden]

16-17

[plain panther]

Thank you

Dzen, I don't know him/her

I'm kinda surprised tong didn't make it on the leaderboard

[spare shuttle]

19/16 If only i didn't troll deck at the first 3 day i would have clearly made it welp

[plain panther]

But the lowest score on the leaderboard is 22-13

You'll need 3-4 more wins to qualify

[spare shuttle]

That's what i said if i didn't troll in my first two day because i got only two victory then with cope deck

When i fixed myself to only one deck i went literally 17/8

So i could have done it but well doesn't matter now lesson learned will not troll in tournament again

[oak nexus]

[plain panther]

You got many losses on the first few 2 days?

[plain panther]

I see

[plain panther]

Just late finishing the game

That's unfortunate

[silent gust]

damn that's so unfortunate

exactly the same score...

[spare shuttle]

Yes lol cause of my stupidity hehe and well i got so many bad dice and my synergy in my test decks aren't well

[plain panther]

I got 1-4 on the second day because I tried a new deck

[spare shuttle]

Same for me

I learned from this and well i gotta a thing to say

Next time i won't be only in leaderboard

Ill be top 5th in the leaderboard

[plain panther]

I should have tried the deck against random first before trying it against other contestants

[spare shuttle]

I said to myself they wilm be easy prey here so ill troll

#i get recked

[plain panther]

Nice! I can be on the top 5 if I want to but I decided to stay on 7th rank because jaimy seems a little stronger than dzen (based on the result)
But I have never played against any of them

But everyone on the leaderboard is strong

[versed barn]

why must you test decks in a serious tourney

because it's serious?

[spare shuttle]

Hehehe that what i have done in the first tournament hehehe and still made it to 21th but anyway

If you want serious tournament to be serious do a season 3 hehe

• i don't consider this a national competitive tournament but rather a meeting with other minds

And a fun play time

[silent gust]

why thank you, tho dzen may or may not have beaten me before 😶

[plain panther]

Because it's a popular (meta) deck, so I want to test it
And I have already seen my opponents use it

[spare shuttle]

Why did we have this same idea lol

[versed barn]

there will be Season 3

[spare shuttle]

[versed barn]

decks tested, time to be on top 16

[spare shuttle]

[torn linden]

I hope there will be a survey because there are a couple of things which should be addressed

[spare shuttle]

Sorry for my dumb question i'm little tired maybe i forgot but what's a survey

[plain panther]

I see
So, you have played against him/her
I just consider you a little stronger because you have fewer losses despite having lower score because you only play 33 games

[spare shuttle]

Oh i see yeah i have some things to tell to

[silent gust]

ye fair, wanted to play my extra matches yesterday but legit nobody was matching for me

[plain panther]

I see, yeah sometimes queue takes a long time

[left pawn]

Maybe don't worry,
you may have qualified for the little prince

[viscid wadi]

Ok, i've jumped into the departing train car with my horrible prelims once again

[torn linden]

if you get lucky with bracket

top 4 can be real

[spiral bay]

i only have one deck im comfortable with idk how to quickly teach myself two more

[torn linden]

three unique decks

NEC
yae quicken
shenhe sc

[spiral bay]

im already looking at a couple of decks
the problem isnt that i dont have decks, the problem is idk how to play them

[frosty coral]

How will people get matched in knockouts? Do you know? @plain panther

[plain panther]

On the previous tournaments, it's based on seed
So
1st vs 16th
2nd vs 15th
3rd vs 14th
Etc

[frosty coral]

Hmm, I see

So I would be facing Charliege based on that logic

[plain panther]

Yeah, unless they make a change on this tournament

[plain panther]

Really?

[spiral bay]

[spiral bay]

yeah, legit

also im fairly certain that im gonna be on a train for most of the first day of knockouts
so shin might get it easy

I'll still put up a fight. just not a good one

[plain panther]

I see, I have some decks that I think I can use quite well, but they are mostly very reliant on having good dice and cards

I need to make new decks that don't rely too much on having good dice and cards, otherwise I'll be in trouble if I don't have good luck

[spiral bay]

yeah, i dont really like decks that rely a lot of luck too, but this patch i feel like meta in general became more luck-based compared to past

[plain panther]

I wonder how people can still win with bad luck
I guess It may just my skill issue

[frosty coral]

You do damage control when you get bad rolls

The better you are at it, the more you'll win even when unlucky

[plain panther]

That's what I'm thinking

One of my decks use 5 dice fixer and 6 ramp up, just to avoid that

Not sure whether that's a good idea

I can't include some good cards because of that

[lime thicket]

Dzen is a major player from GITCG server. Dunno who Jaimy is tho.

[silent gust]

this is my first time playing tcg competitively, never knew there was this whole esports scene

[coral heart]

Alright, I qualified by playing exclusively Nahida/Xiangling/Raiden, but I need a second deck for the next phase.
Help I don't know how to play any other decks

anyone want to tell me what deck I should learn to play now?

oh wait a sec, actually I need to have 3 different decks available given the rules 🤔

[undone oxide]

Isn't that the deck u used in weeklies

[coral heart]

Yeah with only a few changes to the cards

gotta prove to people it's good (copium)

[undone oxide]

👍

[viscid wadi]

Tbf, i'd like to draw li su r1 like you do every time

[coral heart]

🤔

fake news

[viscid wadi]

Idk... Ig 4/5 games against me propably... In my memory propably

[coral heart]

Wait when did I play 4/5 games against you?
I only remember playing you in the cats tail tournament queue

well maybe my memory is leaky :/

[plain panther]

Really?

[lime thicket]

Yeah, he's been in two major tournaments in GITCG server

From what I recall

[plain panther]

It'll be a very tough first match

[crude crag]

Because that's how Genshin works, no cross-region play sadly

[vestal perch]

Thats odd

My strike count went from 0 to 2 despite not having played since 2 days

Or do i get strikes for not playing too??

[plain panther]

That's strange

[versed barn]

Sussy Paimon should DM you with the detailed reason behind that, if you're still wondering why it is so, try reaching out to the mods via #📨contact-qixing

it might happen because the verification process is happening

[frosty coral]

Does anyone know if we're allowed to use the same character in multiple decks for the knockout stage?

[rich bolt]

U need 9 unique characters in 3 decks

[frosty coral]

Mhm thought so, thanks for clarifying

[silent gust]

does anyone know when knockouts are?

oh nvm just saw, june 26th

[torn linden]

question about bracket: seeding will count only for first round?

and maybe it wouldnt hurt to make graphic scheme of bracket

just for r1 at least

like this

[torn linden]

@versed barn can you answer this pls?

[versed barn]

yes, and it will advance just like any normal single elimination brackets

ie the winners of 1st Ro16 and 2nd Ro16 will face each other, then 3rd and 4th, and so on

[thin jungle]

surely it's going to be 1st vs 2nd this time

[tropic vine]

That would be so unfair

[versed barn]

Oi, it's the round, not the ranked players

Edited a bit to make it clearer, English hardo man

[thin jungle]

[torn linden]

graphic with all 16 players would be good still

will include that in survey

[versed barn]

ty

throw em in the survey pls

[plain panther]

When is KO matches?

[marble jacinth]

tomorrow, as you can see in #🎫register

[plain panther]

Thank you

[plain panther]

@long sparrow Hi! When are you usually free to do our match?
I usually free around this time
<t:1687777200:t> - <t:1687788000:t>
<t:1687820400:t> - <t:1687831200:t>

[frosty coral]

Any idea why my room says 3rd round of 16, when I should be 4th round?

[plain panther]

Idk
If it's in order of leaderboard
My room should say 7th round instead of 6th

I didn't expect firetosky to defeat skwibble who is the 3rd on preliminary leaderboard

[versed barn]

the room is arranged via seeding, so the ranking in prelim leaderboard doesn't reflect the room you're in

[viscid wadi]

My firepower is on level

[plain panther]

Nice! So strong

[plain panther]

Who's that?
Happy?

[viscid wadi]

I just can't get a clue who i play with...

I think shin is my mext opponent

Or kirano

[viscid wadi]

Wow, is it real to get to semis? Finally LMAO)))

I thought it is impossible

(for me)

[viscid wadi]

Or wait

NO WAy i go to aya vs happy pair... It is just... Absurd?

But if believe to table 1-2 3-4 5-6 7-8 in top 16

(what winners of what pair have met)

Well, previous tavern it was 1-2 3-4

To be fair: very interesting net then, where top 1 meets top 2 in semis)(from prelims results)

[viscid wadi]

top 1 vs top 2 in semis. I liked it)

(if it is really so)

[exotic furnace]
