i just want to snipe people in random mm

[fringe estuary]

I see another fellow player want to booli noobs

[plain panther]

There's a booli

[fringe estuary]

Surely not me im friendly and bad at TCG

[plain panther]

No booli

[viscid wadi]

Is Germany an eligible country?

[crude crag]

Thank you for not including Italy

[torn linden]

survey when?

[versed barn]

survey now

[torn linden]

[torn linden]

||none of suggestions went through||

[somber kindle]

how are the prizes updated? They seem the same as always

[torn linden]

card back is updated prize

[somber kindle]

@versed barn cash prizes are still replaced by gift cards if I'm from Italy?

[versed barn]

yeah, according to the rules in #🎫register it's quite unfortunate for players in Italy because it's listed explicitly there

[somber kindle]

So, to recap: i can receive amazon gift cards (good, at least). But even if i am >18 (legal age in Italy) i cannot receive the paypal prize?

Also... may I ask you why? Like if you could explain this better it would be great.

Sorry for asking but attending a 35 games week is quite challenging for me (8-17 workers, father of 2). So if I attend the tournament I must be sure that I'm eligible for a form of cash prize if I can make it to the top 8. Amazon gift cards are fine if I'm excluded from the paypal donation.

[versed barn]

Amazon gift card is a valid option for you~

[stiff ingot]

5 quota per day is still too much

[fringe estuary]

true 5 duels per day is too much

[plain panther]

Don't play stall decks again

[fringe estuary]

bruh itto decks are plenty

and the best way to punish itto decks

is to freeze stall him

[plain panther]

But playing 5 games in a day using stall decks may not a good idea

[fringe estuary]

Blame them for playing itto

[frosty coral]

I disagree. I think 5 is a fine ammount of games.

[somber kindle]

it depends how busy you are in your real life, tbh 35 games for a tournament + top 16 is a lot.

Considering queue times + games times the average time to play 5 games should be around 1 hours and a half, everyday for 7 days in a row. You cannot say it's a low amount of time. Of course if you go to school still, you can say it's even a low amount of games. But if you are an adult, with a real life, then you cannot say it's a low amount, cmon.

[torn linden]

in survey I offered: 35 to 25

or use GSL/round robin

[frosty coral]

I didn't say it's a low amount. I think it's a fine amount. If you are committing to a video game enough to take part in a competition this much should be justified.

And for the record I am nearly in my 30s and have a partner, but I enjoy the TCG and value the chance to play it in a competitive environment.

[somber kindle]

We're about the same age then. I have just read my message again and i noticed it felt a bit rude tbh. Sorry for that, when I wrote "you" it was generic, I wasnt refering to you in specific.

[frosty coral]

No worries, no offence taken

[still arrow]

There is a system of ban deck/character ?

I apologize if it was written somewhere and I missed it

[somber kindle]

No bans

[still arrow]

Oh shit

Raiden every where

Holy, this fun in sight

[plain panther]

do I need to finish the whole aranara quest to be able to buy it?

[tropic vine]

At least the card is cope

[fringe estuary]

Its a good card

its like free woven

👍

[plain panther]

I'm too lazy to finish aranara quest
I haven't even finished inazuma main quest

[lime thicket]

Broooooo

Quest requirements for support card lmfao

Also to answer the question you only need to progress to the point where you go to Vanarana and interact with the Aranaras there for a bit

[versed barn]

wait what

[plain panther]

I didn't know there's a requirement to buy a card

[lime thicket]

Yeah I’m surprised too

This is hilarious

[fringe estuary]

Surely fontain cards are like that too

[crude crater]

It's not free if It takes a space in your deck

Opportunity cost

[crude crater]

I think it's available in the Shop after some time

[fringe estuary]

Imagine u play Diluc, first turn you draw WGS, you'll need another woven for otk

Well ofc dice is expected to be good

[tropic vine]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-aot-meme-gif-20620862

Asia players ready to invade

[fringe estuary]

Ya bet we r

[leaden pond]

does that include JP

[zenith spade]

Hi, new here! I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but for the Preliminary Rounds for S3 do you need to use the same deck throughout? I couldn’t see anything in the FAQ saying you did but wanted to make sure. Thank you everyone!

[lime thicket]

No, you can use whatever you want

[zenith spade]

Great, thanks! 🙂

[still arrow]

Ayo wtf

[crude crater]

Don't worry

That card is probably cope

[still arrow]

Yep

Not often useful

In théory it's ok and even good but in pratice

[bitter adder]

When I register for the tcg tournament for the region do I choose the game server region or the region im in?

[versed barn]

the country or region you're currently in

[bitter adder]

Oh aight Tysm

[tropic vine]

ig que will start at next session

[torn linden]

you too on Europe?!

[tropic vine]

Yeah just reached ar32 and farmed important cards yesterday

[torn linden]

at this point admins should open Asia div 2

[tropic vine]

Even asia 2 will be crowded

[latent umbra]

hi

[fringe estuary]

Asia div 2 is NA

Asia div 3 is EU

[crude crater]

Kek

Tw/ho upcoming div 4

[exotic furnace]

[obtuse girder]

So, does the prelimanary for Europe start in around 6 hours and a half?

[somber kindle]

Yes @obtuse girder

[exotic furnace]

[slender ermine]

Is Europe running late or did I just miss the first slot?

[oak nexus]

yes, tournament just started at <t:1690196400:t> today, so first available timeslot is <t:1690218000:t> - <t:1690232400:t> today

[slender ermine]

Okok. Thanks

[still arrow]

Oh ok

Infact logic

[viscid creek]

hello, i signed up but didn't get registered, is there a chance i can still be added (late) or is it over? thanks and apologies for the inconvenience!!

[woeful hull]

what the heck?

Where did my registration go?

[bitter terrace]

The time for registration is over so there is no other way to register now

[versed barn]

try asking the mods via #📨contact-qixing - Line number 9

@woeful hull same to you as well

[viscid creek]

thank you!! i appreciate it

[fringe estuary]

Did you answer the next 4 questions after you filled in you UID ?

[woeful hull]

about prefered language?

[fringe estuary]

Yeah those questions

Your region, stream stuff,...

[woeful hull]

yep

[fringe estuary]

Then did you press confirm ?

[woeful hull]

Sure did

[fringe estuary]

Hmm weird

Then try contact qixing then

[woeful hull]

waiting for response

[crude crater]

This is happening more than it should

[woeful hull]

Last Season I had no such trouble

[stiff steeple]

I had the same thing, I was sure I had registered. Support(#📨contact-qixing) helped me, but it was in the window after the registration ended and before the first matches started. I don't know if they can help you, but it's worth a try.

[woeful hull]

They already did and I'm really happy because of it :0

[stiff steeple]

Thats great! Gl with games

[obtuse girder]

I have a question, how many preliminary matches can we do per day? I know that you are given an amount and it can stack up until the final day.

[stiff steeple]

5 per day

[bitter terrace]

So you are in for the tourney?

[slender ermine]

4-1

MMEC got hands

[exotic furnace]

i actually can't stop cringing dice and cards today

[exotic furnace]

cant finish games for today

got classes

[copper relic]

Is there a way to check our current score/tally?

[plain panther]

I lost my first match

[somber kindle]

[bitter terrace]

https://discord.com/channels/865768900662788107/1132985557723643935

[copper relic]

Thank you:)

[bitter terrace]

[tropic vine]

25 players are 4-1 in eu

[plain panther]

I lost twice in a row
My skill issue is getting worse

[somber kindle]

and 11 5-0

[plain panther]

0-2

[somber kindle]

I guess because it's not EU anymore, but Asia 2.0

[plain panther]

[somber kindle]

[tropic vine]

Eu is actually not cope this time. At least the 5 games i played today. 1 bin, 2monklee , 1 nahida quicken and 1 geo ocienid

[somber kindle]

it has never been cope, at least last season was not cope

just a lot less players compared to asia server, so at a certain point top players face each other

this time it seems like this could happen a lot less

because billions of asian players joined eu

[cunning finch]

EU has never been cope. You will 90% of the time get matched against gitcg fellows

The player count is what makes it dead ish

[plain panther]

I played against strong players on my first 2 matches

[fringe estuary]

i wonder whats the reason behind the sudden skill improvement in every region

[plain panther]

My score is 0-2
I can't lose any more matches

0-3
I feel like I'm getting cursed today

And opponents deck on the 2nd & 3rd round are counter decks

[bitter terrace]

[plain panther]

0-4
It's the worst day since the first time I participate tavern tournament

Even on the last day previous tournaments, I've never been this bad

[misty island]

Asian invaders at day que goes brrrr?

[fringe estuary]

EU is different in this season

[slender ermine]

I'm scared

[fringe estuary]

[crude crater]

Next time I'll be in EU as well

Be prepared boys

[plain panther]

All of my opponents (at least almost all of them) are Asians

[fringe estuary]

I need fully free 3 days to grind EU account

[slender ermine]

EU: Become point farm

[fringe estuary]

Let me guess you played BIN right ?

[plain panther]

No

[fringe estuary]

Hmm, then try using it

[crude crater]

Don't play it cope deck

[fringe estuary]

Its meta approved

[plain panther]

Is it good against AoE decks?

[slender ermine]

4/5 games I played yesterday were BIN counters

[crude crater]

Hell yeah

[slender ermine]

[fringe estuary]

You played well when you beat me in gitcg weekly

Just need to calculate more

[fringe estuary]

Well idk, i hate itto

[plain panther]

I doubt I can get to leaderboard
I already lost 4x in a row just on the 1st day
I don't even dare to play my 5th match

[fringe estuary]

Whats BIN counter ?

Dont tell me shenhe SC ?

[plain panther]

Like AoE decks

forced swap decks, and freeze

[slender ermine]

Mostly RXN(I played that too) and freeze variants

Good matchups imo

[plain panther]

What's RXN?

[fringe estuary]

Rhodeia xiangling nahida

[crude crater]

Chongyun start

Into Shogun burst

Works everytime

[fringe estuary]

i hate shenhe SC, BIN, NEC,..

[crude crater]

Trust

[fringe estuary]

all meta deck

i only play cope

like Kaeya stall

[crude crater]

Than don't expect much results

[fringe estuary]

[plain panther]

[bitter terrace]

Aren't you also AS

[young terrace]

Aren't all of u AS

[bitter terrace]

[plain panther]

[fringe estuary]

[young terrace]

[tropic vine]

Yep

[exotic furnace]

im not asian

im bsian

[fringe estuary]

Im Fsian

Oh btw hi bsian im fsian

[still arrow]

Where do we see that?

[still arrow]

2-3 for me
But I lost just because I hint, want to die

[bitter terrace]

If you play late and have 4-1 score then with your position you can guess

[still arrow]

?

[wispy rivet]

is there a way to see the full leaderboard, not just top 16?

[restive vault]

no, you can only see top 16 and your own ranking

[viscid wadi]

Ig if you want to face cope decks try night)

Trust

[viscid wadi]

I think kaeya stall and geoceanid have pretty fine MU against BIN

[fringe estuary]

it does but still lose to shenhe decks

also it depends on drawing

Its a matter of surviving or not, its really hard to do it in aggro meta

but once survive you can chip away your opponent mental health

[somber kindle]

No 10 0 we are so cope

[silent gust]

sherry can if they win 1 more

[fringe estuary]

How come EU become so cope ?

compare to the last 2 seasons

where's 10-0

[coral heart]

well Sherry got the win against me, RIP

I kinda forgot what basic skills did 🤔

[silent gust]

noooooo skwibble

was rooting for u after u 5-0'd the other tourney

[coral heart]

sorry, I'm in the mood for throwing today apparently 🥲

[coral heart]

well I'm just about on the leaderboard at 8-2 so you can still root for me if you want lol

[silent gust]

i have faith in an 8-2, u got it 🫡

[plain panther]

I'm thinking to use death penalty just to make it hard for my opponent with drawn out games since it's unlikely I can get to the top leaderboard

Or maybe trying cope decks

[plain panther]

Night? When is it?
Night in EU / night in Asia?

[fringe estuary]

Night in EU is the time where JP players is sleeping

[plain panther]

It's also the time when I was sleeping

[tropic vine]

[tropic vine]

That was too close . I didn't top deck food or mond res in the end. I would hv lost to adeptus

[plain panther]

I didn't expect send off
I was waiting for adaptus, but it didn't appear

[exotic furnace]

i honestly should not play in eu

timeslot is just really not that good

because its right after my school

and im very tired after school

[plain panther]

Same

[exotic furnace]

[plain panther]

Asia & NA are both at a good time for me

Maybe I should make NA account next time

[tropic vine]

I could hv send off last 2nd turn but i wanted to play safe as it's only 1 damage extra and put wharf instead and hope for food or mond res

I lost the gamble
So did u

[plain panther]

I see

I made a blunder by charging oceanid energy too late with only 1 summon

I should have used the last summon, when there are still some summons left

[tropic vine]

Tian was so good in ur deck

[plain panther]

So oceanid will have high burst damage

[fringe estuary]

SI and Nyahida is waiting for you here

[plain panther]

No, no
I only want to play ||bully|| newbies

[still arrow]

[fringe estuary]

[daring dirge]

I was about to win but my opponent conceded is it still a valid win or does it not count?

[frosty coral]

should be valid, opponent is not allowed to concede

make sure to report it

[bitter terrace]

It is your win

If oppo doesn't confirm try reaching qixing hotline

[daring dirge]

alright thx

[woeful hull]

who do I contact if my opponent is not confirming the result?

[slender ermine]

#📨contact-qixing with a screenshot of victory

[viscid wadi]

Yiiiii

14-1

[plain panther]

The floor is 4 loses
Maybe I still have a chance

But that's if I keep winning my next matches which I really doubt

[fringe estuary]

give up BIN and play cope

surely 5-0

[plain panther]

What deck?

[fringe estuary]

use my cope in GITCG last week tourney

[plain panther]

I didn't use BIN on the tournament so far, but I used one of itto's variation

[fringe estuary]

here 5-0 AoC cope

[plain panther]

I wanna try death penalty, and see how good it is against other players

[plain panther]

I just realized the deck can't do any reaction at all

Even nahida's seed become completely useless

[fringe estuary]

thats why its cope

[plain panther]

Other cope decks are much better

[fringe estuary]

bruh copest of cope is the best cope deck

[plain panther]

[still arrow]

Wait, what

[plain panther]

If I use that deck I'll surely get 0 win

[still arrow]

But, why

[fringe estuary]

its winnable

trust my sauce

[crude crater]

[tropic vine]

[exotic furnace]

oi

queue dead

[plain panther]

The floor is 3 loses

I have no hope now
There's no way I can keep winning until the last day

[young terrace]

same

Feelsbad

[plain panther]

How to be able to keep winning?

[young terrace]

Im doing morning queues from now on

Less players but might match into lower skill

[plain panther]

I already have 7 loses now

[young terrace]

9-6

15 games and i only see 1 casual deck

The rest are JP players and ppl who grind rank in pvp-asia

[plain panther]

Better than me

[young terrace]

Barely

[plain panther]

I have no hope for this season, but I want to prepare for the next season

But I don't know what deck I should use

[young terrace]

I understand the meta for this season, i just skill issue so badly when watching my replays

Even got roasted by ppl in vc lol

[fringe estuary]

oh the sauce

you need a clan too

[young terrace]

[fringe estuary]

more Intimidating

[plain panther]

I don't understand the current meta
It's more complicated than the previous season

[young terrace]

Covenant and courtyard just makes the meta even more high roll than before despite them having 100% to appear in your starting hand

[viscid wadi]

I mean, play in EU evening. I have seen so many casual decks. But i was actually tired... yesterday)

[exotic furnace]

I seem to be performing very badly in this tournament

[young terrace]

nah 4-3 score is decent considering the competition

[slender ermine]

My first 5-0

[tranquil sedge]

Can you match up with the same people again?

[silent gust]

u can match against someone max 2 times

i love playing a 30 min match against bin

[tranquil sedge]

And do we know how many people are in EU?

What is bin?

[silent gust]

don't think so

barbara itto noelle

it's so scary

[tranquil sedge]

Hey that’s the deck I’m fighting against rn too

[silent gust]

are u having fun?

[tranquil sedge]

No i am crying tears of pain

At least I’m bad enough that the game doesn’t last 30 mins

[silent gust]

bro we spent 4 turns just switching

i even created dice to switch

[slender ermine]

I haven't matched BIN in the last 10 games

And I'm playing counter

[silent gust]

what counters bin?

[fringe estuary]

Shenhe SC

[slender ermine]

Freeze
XL Nahida

Truss

[plain panther]

Evening in what timezone?
Evening on EU?

[plain panther]

Really?
I have faced some BIN users

[slender ermine]

They must be hiding from me

I faced like 4 in the first 10 games. Not a single after

[silent gust]

hmm that's fair, idk any good freeze decks tho

i actually played xl nahida against bin and lost, think that's my skill issue tho

[fringe estuary]

just spam ganyu freeze

and pray for high roll

always works

[silent gust]

damn ganyu? who else is in the deck

[fringe estuary]

xq shenhe

[silent gust]

ok ty, haven't seen any xq players at all but sounds feasible

[fringe estuary]

np just want you to snipe those top players in the lb

[silent gust]

haha i've been avoiding a lot of them so far

am currently 17th 👀

[slender ermine]

Kazoo Mona Shen

[silent gust]

ooh might give it a go

so do u want to swirl hydro or cryo with kazoozoo

guessing cryo swirl into mona

[slender ermine]

My usual opening is Mona skill T1 and ramp. Kazoo hydro swirl > Shenhe freeze/cryo app next turn

[silent gust]

makes sense

trying to swirl shenhe's cryo sounds a bit sad if they just switch

[slender ermine]

Day = ruined

[viscid wadi]

Ok, i am tired to spam bin, but i have no clue what alternative to use... Kaeya stall

[silent gust]

ur so high on leaderboard tho

i've heard people talk about kaeya stall a lot but never seen anyone play it

[viscid wadi]

I mean, it is lottery, where only kevinZ gets full equip r1

[viscid wadi]

Successful BIN spam

[silent gust]

heard he's kaeya stall's no1 fan

[plain panther]

Good luck to be on leaderboard

[silent gust]

yeah... u beat me with it when i supposedly had a counter deck

[plain panther]

How to use BIN well?

[silent gust]

lmaoo is that u ayu

ty

[plain panther]

Yes

[silent gust]

bro rip about the 0-4 first day

actually so much tougher this season

[plain panther]

Yeah, and I give up to be on leaderboard now
Too many loses

[viscid wadi]

I mean, 1 itto and that 1 hp. I am surprised you didn't swap to Xiangling to play E...

[silent gust]

ay u remember

i had gamblers and just forgot to equip it when i nahida bursted on ur noelle 🤡

[viscid wadi]

Today i lost to rosso's rhodea fischl agent

Tubby sumeru city r2

And no lament

[silent gust]

laments

how do u play that deck? it's like NEC but u skip the N part

and fatui finisher

[viscid wadi]

I don't know... He is running both rhodea and agent talent...
I think agent is just fat...

[silent gust]

v interesting

[viscid wadi]

But i mean... Tubby r1 is too good, ngl

[silent gust]

if i see rosso i might bring a lament or two :)

yeah...

[viscid wadi]

So many people run monaklee

...

[silent gust]

bin counters right?

just keep binning

[viscid wadi]

I mean, i am binnning successfully against then

[silent gust]

then no problems for u

but yeah monaklee is so scary

[viscid wadi]

If i start first it is just itto e and swap off, and if oppo starts first i start noelle, and got good dices enpugh to play itto e barb e

[silent gust]

damn and barb e heals everyone

smart

for me i kinda just allow the vape then switch off

[viscid wadi]

Vape on itto?

[silent gust]

probably not the best play but mona e klee pyro res only does 9

oh no not itto decks

[viscid wadi]

Nahh

[silent gust]

like oceanid lol

[viscid wadi]

Ah, ok

[silent gust]

ur crazy if u let itto take 9 damage lmao

what u do with bin is best strat probs

[viscid wadi]

I mean, i spam bin only because i am planning to make a guide for russia TC

[silent gust]

oh fun

[viscid wadi]

But when i am tired of playing this deck, i am rushing so much...

[silent gust]

oh yeah u need so much patience with bin

i could never, idk if i can even finish all my games since i'm pretty busy these days

if i played bin i would have time for like 3 matches a day

[viscid wadi]

I mean, itto is only character you can spend literaly 4 dices on swap and still otk

[silent gust]

it's so silly

in his burst he just randomly gives himself a stack after na

for no reason

[viscid wadi]

With covenant it is even more annoying

[silent gust]

can otk with like 5 dice

[viscid wadi]

I mean, my friend played against pyroitto, and he passed when opponent had 1 dice, and he did gamblers covenant woven heavystrike and otked

Him

[silent gust]

oh that's real fun

[viscid wadi]

Truly F

[silent gust]

gambler itto u just need 0 dice

start whipping out dice from nowhere

[viscid wadi]

Under benny burst)

[silent gust]

wow a 2 cost unaligned 7+ damage attack that also heals

[viscid wadi]

I mean, it is so funny i know guy, who plays this deck with exile on benny

[viscid wadi]

I mean, it is no barbara that heals, but you need dices and bein active on benny to charge both itto and benny burst

But i mean, itto without burst is also pretty efficient with his holds still

[silent gust]

itto can do it all man

once he's set up ur finished

[viscid wadi]

Yeah... I also yesterday played full ramp hydro itto with no equip and won 1 monaklee (lost to another thought). No gamblers also, but with countryyard. I mean, it was cause people have asked me to play with no equippement but making a view that i am waiting for it

[silent gust]

that's pretty interesting

the fact itto's burst and buffed NAs do 5 damage means he still has sweep potential even without equipment

which is so dumbbb

gonna sleep and play itto tomorrow or smth

[slender ermine]

Another 4-1
Surely final 16 placement is within reach

[hasty bane]

hello I am wondering how many battles in total are we allowed to do in order to earn scores?

does anyone know?

[frosty coral]

35 total.

[viscid wadi]

5-0 in tavern today again lmao

[plain panther]

too op

[slender ermine]

5-0

The BIN players found me

[bitter terrace]

[slender ermine]

Nahida XL supremacy

[bitter terrace]

I had faced Nahida xl on day 2

And today against lamontagne

[slender ermine]

What lamontagne?

[bitter terrace]

[slender ermine]

I can't keep up with these deck names

[frosty coral]

Hey, where can I report a toxic player ?

[wanton grove]

please be aware @vital vortex is roping and then cancelling games in a losing position

[wanton grove]

save your game number

then go to #📨contact-qixing and follow the instructions

[frosty coral]

Found it, thanks

[wanton grove]

[frosty coral]

[bitter terrace]

@frosty coral you had problems with same player

[frosty coral]

Possibly

[bitter terrace]

Ndap?

[frosty coral]

Ah, no. It was someone else.

[bitter terrace]

[wanton grove]

I heard there are many like this but this was my first time actually encountering one

[bitter terrace]

Oh I had a lot of interactions like these last tavern

[frosty coral]

I had no such issues last time

[bitter terrace]

Luckily haven't faced a single of them this time

[wanton grove]

vast majority are nice peeps

[somber kindle]

there's a god sending you the worst hand possible if u muligan 5

[wanton grove]

[bitter terrace]

[viscid wadi]

Bad players can change nicknames

(not bad also)

[fringe estuary]

I need these players in Asia for me to farm

[cunning finch]

Furfur became pure SUC and gave up the og name huh

[fringe estuary]

Why ya guys all become SUC

Join LIC

[wanton grove]

why say long nick when short nick do trick

[cunning finch]

Me sticking with my pals

They all join SUC club

So I do too

Also, since I'm not playing , I'm wishing my pals to get last day 5-0. 0-5 to the BMers and ropers

[fringe estuary]

Time to make some clan scandals

[exotic furnace]

is it remotely possible to play 27 games in 4 hours?

[latent umbra]

ask @vestal junco

[exotic furnace]

what's the fastest deck in terms of speed and efficiency

[tropic vine]

It's not worth it

[plain panther]

Maybe monaklee

[vestal junco]

Don't ask me, that's less than 10mins per game

But...

There's a rumored deck

That scares any opponent into instantly conceding

So maybe someone can give it a try

Also I should add that it had 100% win rate against BIN

[latent umbra]

is it the lawa itto chicken deck

also it has 100% wr against bin if youre the one playing madge

[vestal junco]

I only provide rumors

You should try it out in tavern to see the results for yourself

[viscid wadi]

I mean, i hot tested chicken mac itto yesterday of yesterday and somehow it won 4/4 games. The only games i played it... I am so f**king tired of itto though

[fringe estuary]

Thats a god tier deck

top quality

Only higher beings can use it

[crystal schooner]

i agree, factually, the deck does have a good matchup into bin

[sterile latch]

it’s like bin but in the mirror you don’t grief yourself with barbara

[tropic vine]

Long night awaits

[slender ermine]

[lime thicket]

Went 27-8

Hopyfully it's good enough to stay in the leaderboard

[silent gust]

i hope it is or i don't have a chance

yesterday i threw so hard, went 1-4

[slender ermine]

26-9. I might be messed up lmao

[silent gust]

we can only wait now, it's so scary

[exotic furnace]

im scared, i wont be able to finish all the games

[lime thicket]

Uhhhh

I guess it's technically possible if you no-life it a bit

[exotic furnace]

but even so i'm not that good at the game

and i already have 5 losses

so it is unlikely that i will make it into the leaderboard

[silent gust]

my god u really left it all to the last minute

[exotic furnace]

especially when i keep rolling 0 usable dice

[lime thicket]

Yeah you're likely screwed either way

[exotic furnace]

been busy with school and revision the entire week what can i say

[exotic furnace]

nah surely 305

[silent gust]

fair, on that study grind

lmaoo rank first

[exotic furnace]

yk 305 would unironically 100% get me in

[slender ermine]

Winnable. Trust

[exotic furnace]

trust

[slender ermine]

[exotic furnace]

not with these dices

[lime thicket]

Definitely

Would be quite the hard task though

Realistically the cutoff is gonna be 260 at least

There's a good chance it'll be slightly higher even

[exotic furnace]

im on 105 now

gonna be really hard ig

winning 20 games is not easy

even winning like 15 games is also very hard

[lime thicket]

Winning 15 more is gonna be like the bare minimum for you to get in

In all likelihood maybe 1 or 2 more than that

[exotic furnace]

i realy love my dice

WOW

[lime thicket]

It be like that

[slender ermine]

[silent gust]

we love covenant

[exotic furnace]

[slender ermine]

Arcane was a mistake

[exotic furnace]

also i had to tune half my hand r1

so yea also that

[slender ermine]

Game really is 2 v 1 for some

[exotic furnace]

tcg is a game of dice

andcards

[slender ermine]

3 v 1 then

Opp
Dice
Cards

No hand R2 is the most hopeless position

Had to end one of my games with 5 unusable dice in hand lmao

[exotic furnace]

unusable dice

in hand

[slender ermine]

4 geo 1 anemo
No cards

I wasn't playing any of those elements

[exotic furnace]

just ahh

my hand is just empty

[slender ermine]

What deck?

[bitter terrace]

28-7

Lost last 2 game

[slender ermine]

It's beginning to look really bad

[slender ermine]

Definitely safe, at least

[bitter terrace]

Yeah I think I'll stay in top8

[slender ermine]

For certain

If you went under that, I'm straight finished

[bitter terrace]

Hope there aren't much people left to play with good scores

@slender ermine i played you day 2

Heard you cooked this day

[exotic furnace]

[slender ermine]

Ah. You ran BIN, right?

[exotic furnace]

i love rolling shit dice

[slender ermine]

Only to choke on the final day lmao

[exotic furnace]

i love drawing every single card except the one i need

[bitter terrace]

Nec

[exotic furnace]

and yes im being salty about this

just because

yes

[bitter terrace]

[lime thicket]

I think you probably won't make it

There's still also tomorrow morning with all the Asians

[slender ermine]

Ah, I think I recall

My memory is shot

[bitter terrace]

I didn't play much bin coz of shenhe sc

[slender ermine]

Always next season, right?

[bitter terrace]

And it is too time taking

[slender ermine]

They're everywhere

I hear that

[lime thicket]

Indeed

[slender ermine]

It's either BIN, Klee vape or Shenhe SC

[bitter terrace]

And they all are week against one and strong against another

[slender ermine]

TCG RPS

[frosty coral]

then there's asians playing Agent EC

[slender ermine]

How's that go?

[bitter terrace]

In 35 games I faced one agent EC and I played 5 games in my AS account for the card back and I got only one match when it wasn't agent EC

[exotic furnace]

oh just

[lime thicket]

Lmao

[exotic furnace]

[lime thicket]

A lot of people have the server muted and won't notice the notification ping from finding a match

So that happens sometimes

[exotic furnace]

yeah

i also sometimes forgot to respond

7 losses

im not making it

[slender ermine]

Never back down, never what?

[frosty coral]

Funny end of tavern knockouts shenanigans

[lime thicket]

[exotic furnace]

wow

I REALLY LOVE MY RNG

[still arrow]

[lime thicket]

@slender ermine Quite the sticky situation huh?

[slender ermine]

It's over

[viscid wadi]

I am drunk

today

as F

[lime thicket]

F

[slender ermine]

Damn you, Arataki

I'll be praying on it's downfall daily

[lime thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/itto-arataki-itto-itto-genshin-arataki-itto-genshin-genshin-impact-gif-23765856

Worrying developments

[slender ermine]

Oh, they moving moving

Last slot's gonna be dangerous

[wanton grove]

I was about to get 28/7 (one win from illegitimate cancel) and my wifi died

if that's not gonna be enough this taver is even more unlucky to me than the previous one

last one I was getting highrolled and you can't really do anything to that

but giving a hope in this season and then stealing at the last moment with faulty internet

it's the worst

albeit I could get 3 more wins if I made more accurate calculations but

it's kind of a terrible spot

[twilit karma]

35 games is so grueling, I feel more tired than running 800 meters every day

[viscid wadi]

so true

[plain panther]

Yeah

It's even worse with long wait

And I threw so hard in this season
I give up on just the 2nd day

[tropic vine]

35 games are lot. I wanted to get it over with on last day and played on a time i wasn't comfy with. Threw so hard just cuz of burnout

3-2 and 2-3 on last 2 days. Even though i faced tougher opponents in start of the tournament

[plain panther]

You didn't make it on leaderboard too?

[tropic vine]

Nah

[plain panther]

I see

That's unfortunate, your rank was high on the leaderboard before

[tropic vine]

If I waited to play today i would be playing so much better cuz i would know what's the cutoff and it would be my usual time. I forced myself to play last night even cuz of peer pressure

[plain panther]

[tropic vine]

Yeah I was 25-5 then 35-10

[plain panther]

35-10?
You played 45 times?

You meant 25-10?

[fringe estuary]

Ariel plays in EU right ?

[tropic vine]

Yep

[silent gust]

feelsbadman

[plain panther]

That's so close

But I think the floor will be 27-8 after everyone finished their game

[silent gust]

yeah... i'm already 20th now

asia players climbing up

[exotic furnace]

im not even gonna try

[sage dawn]

@glass wraith oh hey same score

congrats to both of us

[plain panther]

You didn't participate this time?

[young terrace]

Meanwhile we have kirano who is top 1 AS, top 2 EU AND top 2 NA

Man's fking built different

[median mauve]

Should I put him down to top 3?

[cunning finch]

I just can't comprehend how he actually manage

105 games in a week

I see that and I'm scared of kirano now

[median mauve]

Bro is just trying to prove EU > NA > AS

[cunning finch]

He is no hooman

[median mauve]

[cunning finch]

I'm busy this week so I can only barely grab the cardback and leave

That.. 105 games....

Is more than games I've played in a month

[still arrow]

Ayo what the

[vestal junco]

*104

AS didn't require 35 games

[young terrace]

💀

[vestal junco]

Cope region

[median mauve]

[young terrace]

i wanna argue but i literally cant bcuz i fed him a win

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1051701352813838496.webp?size=48&name=ayawah&quality=lossless

[cunning finch]

You are still.. scaryyyy

Kirano shoot up on top of my scary list after doing 3 regions in one tavern season

[vestal junco]

Who was the #1 on your scary list before then

[cunning finch]

@wicked echo for bullying me with DP first week after I started kinda playing TCG

[vestal junco]

Also it honestly wasn't as tiring as I thought

Since I pretty much just had to dedicate 4hrs every afternoon

The periods line up pretty well for me

[cunning finch]

....

[young terrace]

stop it, get some help

[vestal junco]

[cunning finch]

Note. How to get good in TCG. Play 100 games weekly

[young terrace]

honestly true, but you're sacrificing ur sanity

[cunning finch]

If kirano isn't burnt out yet by tcg

He is 100% not hooman

= scary list no1

Cuz we dunno what entity he is

Yet

[vestal junco]

[young terrace]

inb4 kirano cloned himself just to play in 3 regions

simultaneously

[wanton grove]

I really did get eu majored

and did not make it

by a hair

I'm done with this game and my luck

[cunning finch]

[wanton grove]

insanity

[twilit karma]

Do I need three dc accounts to join three servers like kirano did?

[median mauve]

[twilit karma]

It feels like a lot of trouble

[latent umbra]

yes

[latent umbra]

yes

[plain panther]

They are same person?

[plain panther]

[cunning finch]

You didn't realize?

Choc is now officially scared cuz he in same region and he also invaded everywhere

[plain panther]

Yes

[plain panther]

I'm tired even with 35 games a week

[wanton grove]

now the admins will see this discussion and disqualify him

[cunning finch]

Admins said playing multiple region is allowed tho

[plain panther]

I still remember how burn out I was with 50+ games on 1st beta tournament

[median mauve]

If I ever feel like I can be bothered I might invade AS some day then

[young terrace]

[plain panther]

Oh no.... There are too many invaders everywhere

Do I have even a chance to be on leaderboard on any server next time?

[median mauve]

There's always the option of performing better

[plain panther]

I can't fix my skill issue
I can't play against strong players

I wish I would only play against newbies

[median mauve]

Also if people drop out from the leaderboards because of conceding

[crude crater]

U haven't fite good players than

[plain panther]

How to be strong?
I'm still newbie

[crude crater]

Get lucky

[somber kindle]

roll good dice

[plain panther]

How to get lucky?

[crude crater]

Prayage

[plain panther]

I have tried it but it doesn't work

[crude crater]

Also what is this fake SUS clan

[plain panther]

[cunning finch]

Well you don't talk about the fake SUC claimers

[median mauve]

It's not about luck. Just play better

[bitter terrace]

Previous tavern qualifier claiming to be newbie

[plain panther]

I got too many losses this time
And I rage quit just on the 2nd day and not even qualify for card back

And my rank is 700+
So I'm worse than most players
That's why I'm still newbie

[wanton grove]

[frosty coral]

Man now I gotta face kirano again

Because I'm 15th

[crude crater]

Lmao

Kirano is not invincible

Just beat him like u did kevinz Last time

[frosty coral]

I beat kirano yesterday too, doesn't mean I'm happy to face him

[woven viper]

really? that same person?

[exotic furnace]

yes

lmao

[cunning finch]

Can we call kirano the three headed dragon by now?

[median mauve]

[woven viper]

who's name is still an id?

[median mauve]

You can use discord id lookup and search their username to get their name on the leaderboard

[still arrow]

Didn't understand how we knew if we were playing against strong Players

Newbies are easy to recognize but between good players and strong players?

[bitter terrace]

10th player is also SUC

[wanton grove]

you notice it with more experience
when you think a move doesn't make sense at first or you realize something is being built up
evaluating one's skill from a single game is definitely not so reliable, but after dozens you start recognizing patterns that differentiate one level or the other

but it's mostly feel, honestly

to me, a good player deals optimal dmg, tries to dodge your attacks, doesn't waste their resources

but a great player sees future ahead and makes plans which is usually seen in small details

[still arrow]

I know how to recognize weird / meaningless moves but usually it's just that I don't know his hand and so 2t later I understand and it's shit x)

[median mauve]

Great players pick the most annoying option to deal with

That’s how I see it

[wanton grove]

I can't properly define "annoying option"

but I see your point

[wanton grove]

sometimes this weirdness has a meaning and is a part of a tactic is what I want to say
and as kevin said, if it's annoying to you and you can't really pick a good move, their strategy has already been devised

[cunning finch]

Some extremely great players feels different to play against too. I don't think it is just me but playing vs someone really good has a certain vibe in their moves for me..

[still arrow]

Mhhhhhhh 'kay

Thanks

[plain panther]

[crude crater]

[viscid wadi]

I mean, gambler is the best player when he isn't punished

[bitter terrace]

[maiden harness]

why am i not in the top 16 if i have the same score as furfur

through strikes ?

[bitter terrace]

Maybe you played after furfur played

Or strikes

Both are accounted

[maiden harness]

So sad

[crude crater]

There should be OW%

Like in battlefy

To differentiate players of same score

whoever plays first qualifys
is dumb imo

[lime thicket]

I agree, but it might be difficult for them to implement

[crude crater]

@versed barn thoughts on upgrading sussy paimon

[fringe estuary]

yeah match players with the same score

spare us low score players

[woven viper]

if we get hit by a strike: 2, will the strike change to 0 in the next season?

[fringe estuary]

yes

[woven viper]

If you get 3 strikes, will you be able to participate in the tournament in the next season?

[fringe estuary]

well that im not too sure

[viscid wadi]

I mean, it it difficult to measure it when you fight 150point player it can be 15-0 and 14-10

[torn linden]

thats why points system should be removed

its too confusing for new players

[rancid flame]

Any CTG mod I can get in contact with?

I tried the Cocogoat line but no response for 5 hours now

@blazing bridge help?

[blazing bridge]

If you modmailed the right category unfortunately you'd just have to wait I'm not a CTG mod

[rancid flame]

😭 no worries

[blazing bridge]

Just make sure you chose 9 for the number when you messaged the bot

[rancid flame]

i saw the “ping anytime” & “qixing”

so yeah

i did

ummm do u know anyone who’s a ctg mod?

so i can @ them?

[blazing bridge]

Unfortunately not, and besides if they're offline anyway you'd have to wait either way, sorry

[rancid flame]

no problem

[celest thicket]

Is it too late to participate prince cup or there are multiple seasons like cats gathering?

[cunning finch]

Europe prince cup is over

[desert quest]

Let’s go Sherry sama

Ganbatte!!

[celest thicket]

They announced recently a gold back card for the top 8th at prince cup. So I assumed they will be another season

[cunning finch]

That is for those who have done it

They haven't received their cardbacks

[celest thicket]

So they announced the gold back card when tournament already end ? Unless they announced it before but I just missed it.

[celest thicket]

What about this ?

[cunning finch]

Yes prince cup is over. There has already been winners

The only upcoming one is latin America prince cup and South east Asia

[mild elbow]

[versed barn]

[torn linden]

survey

[compact raven]

how do you get the card back?

[crude crater]

Yes

[versed barn]

by participating in Cat's Tail Gathering tourney S3 S4 S5

[torn linden]

S4 and S5 confirmed

[compact raven]

In all of those? Or just one is enough? And then if we win 3 times do we have to get the card back from somewhere? Or will it be sent to us somehow?

[versed barn]

winning 3 times in one of the seasons mentioned above is enough, and the card back is sent to the UID you registered for the tourney

[compact raven]

thanks a lot! I should be getting one yay

[plain panther]

Maybe I should try getting card back next season

[misty island]

Gems in qualify phase

[torn linden]

every win matters

[crude crater]

Is this official

[fringe estuary]

Its self calculated

[crude crater]

No I mean

[fringe estuary]

Official is here

[crude crater]

Did they said
