Same as precious chest

[exotic shadow]

wait is there a new astra carnival prince cup?

I haven't really been paying attention to the competitive scene since the one in June

[celest thicket]

My first tournament, I'm considered register now right?

[fringe estuary]

Yes

Welcome to CTG S4

[crude crater]

[bitter terrace]

For surety you should do it again

Coz last time many were left unregistered due to some reasons

I also remember doing it in my as account and then I realised I wasn't registered

In last season

[celest thicket]

I registered 3 more time

[tranquil sedge]

Sure hope I manage to get the card back this time lol

[pine sluice]

Guys, can you please help? I signed up for the TCG event, but don't know where the room is to find opponents...

[sterile latch]

it starts next week

[exotic shadow]

What are the timeslots for the prelims gonna be?

[rough shell]

It's my first time participating any tcg tournament, so what is prince cup grand tournament?

[versed barn]

they'll be the same as S3

[exotic shadow]

what were the timeslots in S3?

[hybrid eagle]

first time here as well. i looked it up, doesn't appear like it's relevant to eu tho 😔

[hot heart]

I have a strange question.
Why do they call it Genius Invocation TCG? Shouldn't it be CCG, because there is no card trading?

[sterile latch]

yeah

it should be called a CCG

but nobody would know what a CCG is if you called it that

TCG is the term most people are familiar with so i guess they went with that

i guess one argument is that in game lore, it is a TCG

[versed barn]

petition to make the T word come true

[leaden pond]

pls don't

[marble jacinth]

Tonton

[leaden pond]

no way

[misty island]

CCG casino card game, finaly

[hybrid eagle]

goddamn i always thought the t stood for table 😔 ✋

[round jetty]

wait so you can play how many times you want?

[oak nexus]

5 matches max a day: each day you get 5 matches you can play. If you didn't play matches in one day you can play on next days. Maximum quantity of matches you can get is 35

[round jetty]

[crude crater]

[cosmic flint]

So im a console player at TCG. Can i stream from my phone my screen or nope?

[plain panther]

You only need to stream when you reach semi final

[cosmic flint]

Ik but if i achive it somehow

[plain panther]

[crude crater]

I support your enthusiasm

[viscid creek]

hi everyone! i tried to look around but can't find it- have the rewards for season 3 been sent out yet?

if not where can i see when they'll be sent out? thank you and sorry for the probably reoccurring question!!

[tender token]

Hey guys this is my first time participating in a tournament i’m really excited

[ember grail]

you can actually get an in-game card back?

[crude crater]

Keep that excitement intact

[latent umbra]

yes

[ember grail]

:O nice

i aint skilled enough to win 3 matches tho XD

[silent onyx]

Guys I don't understand how matches will happen 😖

[stuck hamlet]

good evening yall

[celest thicket]

howmany matches can someone do in cats tail tournament?

[stuck hamlet]

about those time windows, how many games i can play in one day?
never been participating in tcg even here, literally joined today

[silent onyx]

Yeah me too

[eager tendon]

saw someone saying 5 a day but on annoucements its said the "unused" matches are added up for next queue, 35 matches in total - that's for sure

It's my first time aprticipating too so

I'm not sure

[stuck hamlet]

understood

still thanks

[hybrid eagle]

i wanted to ask since i'm not sure, is there a timelimit for each match in the preliminary round?

and i believe i read somewhere that spectating matches wasn't allowed (for obvious reasons), so are we required to turn off the spectating mode?

[shadow bane]

Does anyone know how the TCG events work? I want the dragonspine card, so it it monitored in game

And miHoYo send us the free card

[formal bear]

hey, wanted to ask how many hours for the queue to open? I know it says 19:00 but I don't know what timezone bahdhshs

[polar crest]

As far as I understand, the time you see is linked to your device time.

[formal bear]

oh okay

thanks!

[eager tendon]

I'm so stressed about the gameeee I never participated in this and have no clue what exactly to do uhhhh I hope I'll figure this out soon

[polar crest]

I am sure, you are not the only one new here, who thinks exactly the same! So don't worry and enjoy the process. We will manage to find out how to do this!

[eager tendon]

thanks! good luck on your games ‼️

[polar crest]

Thanks! And good luck to you too!

[fringe estuary]

No one chatting now ?

Huh weird

[stuck hamlet]

probably busy with TCG

[fringe estuary]

Huh ? Cant they chat while dueling

[spark nymph]

[eager tendon]

@tall yacht how to confirm the round? I dont see any option like that

[tall yacht]

it glitched i think

i contacted the staff

[eager tendon]

oh

alright thanks

[tall yacht]

i sent a ticket

[eager tendon]

let me know if anything changes so we can confirm the round ^^

[tall yacht]

sure

i'm waiting for a response

[crude crater]

Skill issue

[fringe estuary]

Yeah skill issue

[crude crater]

In the meantime let me play the side game
First time in ages

[spark nymph]

I kinda want to know if there are any noticable changes in matchmaking, but it's too soon

[tall yacht]

@eager tendon it worked

did you confirmed ?

[torn linden]

@versed barn sussy seems not working

[eager tendon]

yep

I did'

[tall yacht]

nice

thank you

have a good day

[eager tendon]

you too :))

[torn linden]

nvm

was a lag

[versed barn]

yes there was some errors that killed the bot

[fringe estuary]

Ponpon is here

[versed barn]

fixed though, but if it shows up again, pls report so bugs can be fixed asap

[tall yacht]

i think it was me XD

because of french language apparently

[fringe estuary]

Time to sabotage the bot again

[eager tendon]

and I thought I did smth wrong 😭 good to know everything is fine

[versed barn]

yah, it happened specifically for FR

[tall yacht]

thoses french plp (i am one 😭 )

[tall yacht]

aparently it was bc i picked french language

[torn linden]

no leaderboards yet

[tall yacht]

and the bot didn't liked it

[fringe estuary]

Bot cant speak Fr lmao

[tall yacht]

XD

nah the fr translation is really good actually

[fringe estuary]

[torn linden]

omelette du fromage

[versed barn]

there we go

[torn linden]

yay

[bitter terrace]

Already 5-0 In and hour and 8 mins

People speedrunning

[spark nymph]

Surely they're using BIN

[bitter terrace]

[versed barn]

did you know that the round's time limit was increased from 45 to 70 minutes

[spark nymph]

Surely it's stall vs stall meta this time

[stuck hamlet]

bin?

[bitter terrace]

[bitter terrace]

Bin like dustbin

[fringe estuary]

omg

[bitter terrace]

Trash

[stuck hamlet]

legit first time i hear that

[fringe estuary]

finally i can play stall

and BM

[bitter terrace]

A team consisting of character barbara itto noelle

[stuck hamlet]

||lost 2 times to it already||

[bitter terrace]

Who plays it likes it a lot and who doesn't play it hates it

[bitter terrace]

[stuck hamlet]

slowly i'm losing my confidence about that tournament

[fringe estuary]

[stuck hamlet]

at least i'm trying

[bitter terrace]

[fringe estuary]

May i introduce you to my BIN counter

Lisa eggs

[stuck hamlet]

well shit

3rd in a row

[woeful hull]

if you want to duck BIN, just pick combo decks (Ayaimiya is a great example)

[stuck hamlet]

no clue how to build it

[woeful hull]

transformer, vanessa, minty rolls

gamblers

[stuck hamlet]

I trust in eggs

[fringe estuary]

[celest thicket]

does doublepyro itto work against bin ?

[stuck hamlet]

wonderful

[woeful hull]

I never played pyro res itto, but (Itto koko ayato) works, it's double hydro but ain't stall, the build is kinda similar to ayaimiya. Vanessa, transformer and itto goes brrr

[stuck hamlet]

3rd time in a row with that itto deck

[celest thicket]

3rd out of 5 ?

[stuck hamlet]

one i won

then three times in a row there was that barbruh itto deck

last game and i guess it will be same deck four times in a row

[woeful hull]

@celest thicket https://youtu.be/CwSEA8mRMDs?si=QrChtyRpAI0vJ-ZQ

[stuck hamlet]

it is what it is i guess

i'll just cope

[bitter terrace]

Creamlet built different

[woeful hull]

I played with his deck list in s2 cat's tail

Liked it a lot

[fringe estuary]

bruh its hell back then

[umbral slate]

Good luck to all duelists

[woeful hull]

u2 <3

[woeful hull]

As a counter to bin it's still viable. And any combo deck is viable, actually

[stuck hamlet]

aye, finally non itto deck

ima die anyways

[fringe estuary]

im not so sure BIN is goodge

[stuck hamlet]

ofc when i want to use combo deck, it must be freeze

and when i'll switch back to my deck

it will be itto

yep

14 points

fucking wonderful

[woeful hull]

Chongyun instead of agent is better. If your ayaka dies he can finish the yoi ulti. Also there's no time to ramp with paimon in this deck

[stuck hamlet]

i'm not even an expert, literally looked for that deck on google

💀

and one deck which works created by me gets countered by that BIN deck

why do i even bother now

[woeful hull]

my ayaya deck list:

2 dice res isn't loading

arcane i mean

[crude crater]

Proceeds to Face monklee instead

[woeful hull]

monklee is kinda disaster for ayaimiya ngl

[stuck hamlet]

would mono geo work in tcg?

[woeful hull]

I still prefer fatuklee tho

[celest thicket]

tempted to skip first day preliminary to see which deck is the most used

[woeful hull]

[celest thicket]

the childe agent kleedeck ?

[woeful hull]

I played against 5 diff decks, 3 of them weren't even meta

[crude crater]

Cicin agent Klee Surly

[stuck hamlet]

@woeful hull

[woeful hull]

Nah I use childe

[crude crater]

Childe double pyro

Mono geo ?

U aren't playing pve my friend

[stuck hamlet]

3 geo characters in tcg

[crude crater]

[stuck hamlet]

i don't deserve to be called friend when i can't do shit in tcg

💀

[woeful hull]

why would you? If you wanna brick shield gaming just play geoceanid with zhong

[crude crater]

[stuck hamlet]

depression and low self esteem

apologies

[crude crater]

Zhongli kindda sucks in this meta ngl

[woeful hull]

sucks

[crude crater]

[stuck hamlet]

indeed

[woeful hull]

Idk, works perfectly fine for me. Tho I use this deck more as a counterpick

[stuck hamlet]

best i can do is just cope with it

[crude crater]

Best overall decks with no hard counters are
Mnec and shenhe SC

||just don't get send offed||

[celest thicket]

mmec better than agent ec ?

[crude crater]

mNec

Mona nahida fiscl

Agent ec meme deck trust

/play chicken EC instead

[woeful hull]

Shenhe SC kinda sux into BIN tho. It's tough matchup

[celest thicket]

ho that one i feel yae is better than fischl

[crude crater]

Just don't get send offed

[hybrid eagle]

faced shenhe shogun chongyun twice now from 3 matches, at least i won once 😔✋

[woeful hull]

as practice shows, addictional electro status matter

[crude crater]

Both works

[woeful hull]

cope

[stuck hamlet]

i've matched BIN 3 times in a row
lost 4 won 1

😄 💀

[woeful hull]

I'd run fischl

[crude crater]

Btw i don't play sc myself

Loses to mnec and Klee mona

Quite often

[hybrid eagle]

today is a whole new learning experience for sure lmao

[crude crater]

I miss mmec era
All rounder deck

[celest thicket]

we'rehere for the back card anyway

[hybrid eagle]

boutta switch to kokomi fischl barb

[stuck hamlet]

and i was coping to be at least 16th
good thing i always think about the worst scenario

and worst one right now is not even getting card back

[crude crater]

Even the experienced onces have hard time
But i support your enthusiasm

[woeful hull]

The only deck I have a problem with as SC player is BIN. It's winnable but unfavorable 40/60 +-

[stuck hamlet]

🫂

[crude crater]

What line u play

Against bin

[woeful hull]

playing eula instead of chong is literally a time bomb on grimheart stacks

[stuck hamlet]

line like deck?

[crude crater]

Line means openner

[stuck hamlet]

keqing xingqiu fischl

[stuck hamlet]

uhhhhhhhhhhh

if that's the case

[crude crater]

Your playstyle

[stuck hamlet]

first character i use is keqing

[crude crater]

I mean

[stuck hamlet]

mmmm

[crude crater]

With that deck

[stuck hamlet]

yeye one moment

[woeful hull]

as LoR player I used to call it mulligan if you're about hand.
If you're about who I start with. Raiden into ult or Raiden into skill and then shenhe. Dice dependant

[crude crater]

Yes whol u start with

Not the Mulligan

[woeful hull]

after shenhe usually, but not always i swap to eula to gain a stack

[crude crater]

Try chongyun start

[stuck hamlet]

using keqing as a opener to tank most hits, if she gets defeated, i use itto card which gives 1 dice and card when character was defeated, switching to xingqiu to get burst thanks to that and getting fischl to beat the crap out of enemy

[crude crater]

Chongyun E raiden NA E burst

U have chongyun nuke

With litm u can threaten your opponent whole game

Don't let them setup freely

On itto

[stuck hamlet]

@crude crater

[crude crater]

Playing around chongyun burst makes there gameplan lot slower

[stuck hamlet]

this deck helped me get through one tournament between cyno nilou and nahida mains

[crude crater]

What deck u playing

[woeful hull]

My last match against BIN took my 3-1 to 3-2 on weekly, sadge

he had charged attack

[stuck hamlet]

i just said
Keqing Xingqiu Fischl

[woeful hull]

-9 on eula

And I had a grimheart stack

[crude crater]

Is this RU ?

[woeful hull]

nah it was GITCG EU Weekly

[crude crater]

Also jade chamber

[woeful hull]

It's good now, trust!

[stuck hamlet]

😔

[crude crater]

Ah
I recognised ilyandro

[crude crater]

It's always bad

Trust

Me

Better off with toss up

[woeful hull]

I have toss ups

and paimon

[stuck hamlet]

[crude crater]

This deck lacks
Any competative advantage

[woeful hull]

NO UNLUCKY DICE FOR ME

[stuck hamlet]

no clue what that means

[woeful hull]

6 dice fixers in the same deck

[crude crater]

Jade chamber is bad for multiple reasons

[fringe estuary]

[crude crater]

Don't

Toss + bestest is enough

Some chads don't run toss up as well

@mild elbow

[fringe estuary]

Jade chamber alone is goodge too

[crude crater]

The effect that it's not immediate

Is just whatever

Also it doesn't really fix your dice

All that much

[fringe estuary]

[crude crater]

No hash ?

[stuck hamlet]

[crude crater]

Hash better than lotus

[stuck hamlet]

@crude crater

[woeful hull]

+2, -3

[stuck hamlet]

[crude crater]

Guranteed hp vs an effect

Lotus can be played around

Generally u keep both

Run fischl

For wind and freedom

[woeful hull]

I have browns only in one deck, and this deck is just for fun

[stuck hamlet]

[woeful hull]

Idk I barely need healing in my matches

[crude crater]

The deck just sucks

Basically

[stuck hamlet]

awesome

what i can do to fix it

hell even better

[crude crater]

Well

[stuck hamlet]

what deck can counter BIN

[woeful hull]

Exception is geoceanid + pizza

[crude crater]

There's no
Concrete answer this meta

[stuck hamlet]

wonderful

[crude crater]

Mnec

[stuck hamlet]

[crude crater]

And shenhe sc are ur bets

[stuck hamlet]

...?

[woeful hull]

Mona Nahida Fischl/Yae

[crude crater]

mnec is favoured

Imo

[stuck hamlet]

i'm not familiar with such names

:/

[woeful hull]

Shenhe, Raiden, Chong/Eula

[crude crater]

Mona nahida fiscl

Or yae nahida fiscl

[woeful hull]

it's not EC

[crude crater]

Chongyun is just better let's face it

[woeful hull]

[crude crater]

Wdym

It is

U do eletro charge end phase

[stuck hamlet]

what about freeze team

any suggestions?

last match i've played agaist uhhh

[woeful hull]

EC stands for electrocharge. And you said yae fischl nahida

[stuck hamlet]

kaeya mona ayato

[crude crater]

Freez deadge after xq nerf

[crude crater]

Replace mona with barbruh

U have kaeya stall

Sorry

Long-range

[woeful hull]

Death Penalty

[crude crater]

[stuck hamlet]

[crude crater]

Only 0.1% people play it

[woeful hull]

because it's shit

And unbearable to play against

U win like in 30 mins

funneh

[crude crater]

True

[woeful hull]

or get a draw

[crude crater]

They also stall timer

To draw the game

Deadge

[stuck hamlet]

[woeful hull]

which is just a waste if time

[crude crater]

[stuck hamlet]

how tf people get 5 wins in a row

[torn linden]

Ilyandro is RU

[stuck hamlet]

[crude crater]

Get good

||get lucky||

[woeful hull]

Yes, he is

[stuck hamlet]

hello again, sadly i've lost 4 times in a row

[stuck hamlet]

[woeful hull]

But it wasn't RU tournament

[torn linden]

it happens

[stuck hamlet]

indeed

i just need to cope with it

maybe tomorrow will be better

[crude crater]

Yeah I saw him yesterday in RU tournament

[median mauve]

Stall players don’t stall timer because they know they’re better than their opponents

[torn linden]

on which one?

[crude crater]

2-4-8 one

The generals tournament

[woeful hull]

team tournament ig

[crude crater]

Somthing

No

Swiss

[torn linden]

oh

[woeful hull]

[crude crater]

It's was only qualifying round

[torn linden]

have you qualified?

[celest thicket]

damndidmyfirstduel

[crude crater]

The real game is draft

[crude crater]

Obviously

[celest thicket]

wasnervous af

[woeful hull]

I wish more tournaments had a drafting system

[crude crater]

Russians only play draft

Gladge

[torn linden]

[round jetty]

guys, a good swirl deck? only pgs

[woeful hull]

Yet never tried to compete in those. Even tho I speak Russian fluently

[crude crater]

||u see I'm cracked af Fr trust me||

[woeful hull]

[torn linden]

really?

[torn linden]

win that then

[woeful hull]

Really

[rough shell]

Does those top16 mean they won all 5 rounds for today?

[woeful hull]

nope

50 points is 5-0

[rough shell]

Oh got it

[celest thicket]

top16 is most likely 25 plus win in total

[stuck hamlet]

me with 14 points

[rough shell]

Still got chance

[stuck hamlet]

🧢

[crystal moon]

bro calling himself cracked

lmao

[crude crater]

Don't take me seriously

[crude crater]

Russians good at draft
We'll see

I have only played standard format mostly

[fringe estuary]

Draft battle

[stuck hamlet]

[crude crater]

[woeful hull]

Better luck next days

[stuck hamlet]

🧢

still thanks tho

can't wait to win 2 times

and lose 3

[crude crater]

||blame the matchmaking bot||

[stuck hamlet]

||of course ||

[woeful hull]

Also bot, who now matches with dudes who have the same amount of points or close to it (+-10):

[crude crater]

If this new matchmaking works
Would be great for asian players

[stuck hamlet]

anyways time to relax and play PZ

probably gonna lurk once for a while

take care 👋

[woeful hull]

I'm not sure about the range tho. I got matched 10 points off only once (dude was 30 and I was 40)

[rough shell]

How does the bot know who wins or loses?

[crude crater]

They know

U can try to cheat

But it doesn't work

[woeful hull]

And be disqualified afterwards

[crude crater]

U get strike first

[woeful hull]

Why would you even try to cheat

[crude crater]

||can afford to do it twice||

[woeful hull]

[crude crater]

Aisa is hell
U can't move up without playing dirty

[rough shell]

It'll affect your ranking score

[crude crater]

Fr legal reasons this was a joke

[woeful hull]

Gotta play some Valorant, take care everyone and good luck

[stuck hamlet]

👋

[crude crater]

[white basalt]

if opponent concade, who will get strike? opponent or both?

[median mauve]

Skill issue

This new player called Ranoki clearly proved that AS is the easiest reason to get a good score in

[crude crater]

Probably
But u see asia dosent get consistent qualifiers every patch

[median mauve]

Maybe it’s because Asia doesn’t have consistent player

[crude crater]

||than lost R1 to banapp||

[eager tendon]

opponent

[median mauve]

The top 16 doesn’t matter

[crude crater]

[median mauve]

The point is that qualifying is easy

[eager tendon]

Does anyone want to duel me to test my new deck? EU server

[solemn burrow]

What kind of misinformation is being spread today bois ?

[fringe estuary]

Let me see how easy can ranoki climb up this time

[crude crater]

Actually it depends on matchups
Like I beat lot of leaderboard players 2-0 in tavern but they qualified i didn't

Some people get more casuals/fodders

While some don't

Hopefully this new matchmaking system

Is different

[fringe estuary]

Overall just abuse the meta

LoL is meta

[crude crater]

No no
We are just theory crafting

[round jetty]

minimun rank to qualify?

[crude crater]

16

[celest thicket]

i secured the card back

[hybrid eagle]

🤝

so far this tournament makes me very conscious of my skill issues 😔

[rough shell]

I am going to get ganyu ptsd soon. She is in every game I play

[celest thicket]

ganyu one man army

[frosty coral]

That's good for you because Ganyu's pretty bad

[hybrid eagle]

i wish i got ganyu

chongyun's been visiting thrice

[celest thicket]

ganyu with amos is no joke

[rough shell]

I don't think so. Even a shield cannot protect the piercing

[frosty coral]

Yes that's her problem, she relies on drawing amos and is bad without it.

[stuck hamlet]

lucky

i was fighting agaist BIN deck 3 times in a row

[eager tendon]

fr today someone normal attacked me (5 dice cost one) two times in a row and I lost the game obv 💀

(I will get Ganyu card tomorrow to give the same feeling to others )

[tender token]

guys just to make sure how many preliminaries can we queue for?

[tribal harness]

Maybe 35, the max win streak on the table

[tender token]

ah ok thanks

[tribal harness]

I'm not sure because currently I'm being given 5 chances per day

[tender token]

ah ok thats good

[quiet lake]

tes

[stuck hamlet]

good afternoon

[crude crater]

[fringe estuary]

Oh nyo

[spiral bay]

since when is europe the sweatiest server

[torn linden]

since Russia

[bitter terrace]

[crude crater]

Good thing we don't have to fight USSR in winter

[bitter terrace]

[crude crater]

Russian+ CN+ asia invasion

Now it's a hot spot

[fringe estuary]

Why no one chat here

[fringe estuary]

Chat guys im bored

[bitter terrace]

We are busy playing

[torn linden]

4-4

[fringe estuary]

Well the bot is working fine

As expected

[torn linden]

what happen

[fringe estuary]

I meant the bot will match the same skill opponent

[deep sandal]

Ye 35 match quota in total

[fringe estuary]

So its goodge i think

[deep sandal]

Is it not random?

[fringe estuary]

No they annouced it

[deep sandal]

Oh god I should have stacked quota and play it all out until day 4 to rigg matchmaking lol

[fringe estuary]

#tournament-updates message

[deep sandal]

*on day 4

[fringe estuary]

Huh how come that will make any difference ?

[woeful hull]

BIN?

Zhongli > Itto

[sterile latch]

if they match by winrate, it is beneficial to queue asap

[deep sandal]

See, if I win 5 times on day one, my 5 matches on the very next day will be harder. But if I am on day 4 with 0 used quota, that makes me "worse" than pretty much every player, so I get easier matches, no?

Ohh

Are you THE stupid idiot btw?

[sterile latch]

so that if ur 1-0 you don’t queue into the 10-0 people

who’s stupididiot

[fringe estuary]

[deep sandal]

The guy that obliterates everything

[sterile latch]

doesn’t sound like me

[woeful hull]

you will be queued into a good player eventually

[deep sandal]

Surely...

[fringe estuary]

Thats a good description

[deep sandal]

Aka robot wizard?

[sterile latch]

but if it isn’t by winrate and point based

then queueing later might be broken

why do people keep thinking i’m this robotwizard guy

[deep sandal]

Could be by winrate, cuz winrate is a tiebreaker factor

Idk, maybe because you are named like him and have the same profile pic? 😉

[sterile latch]

if it’s purely by winrate then you can get really lucky and snipe 1-0 people on day 7

if ur near the top of the lb

[deep sandal]

Hm

[fringe estuary]

[crude crater]

Hopefully

I'm 0-5

[eager tendon]

I just lost to this person's itto

[crude crater]

Hopefully I can get easy players tomorrow

No more CN gods

[eager tendon]

my diluc did 0 dmg with his burst 💀

[stuck hamlet]

[woeful hull]

We can try

[celest thicket]

no one win all ?

[woeful hull]

One game I got outplayed. And other just played myself

[eager tendon]

WAY BETTER...? yesterday I was so stressed about winning the game that after my current character got defeated I picked my frozen Nahida KNOWING I WOULD DO BIG PP DAMAGE WITH KEQING BC I COULD'VE USE MY BURST. I lost that game.

[crude crater]

Unfortunately I stopped playing bin game felt too easy for me

[woeful hull]

[torn linden]

russian player Кирано won 8 games

[woeful hull]

kirano is built different

[celest thicket]

[woeful hull]

6-0
6-1
6-2

[crude crater]

Oh sorry

I don't know Russian

It's a name

Deadge

[woeful hull]

[crude crater]

He is one of us

He is 7th harbinger of Kirano

[eager tendon]

once I'm gonna learn how to play BIN yall will forget what is Victory 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[crude crater]

When u learn to play BIN

Only to realise

Everyone learned how to counter it

[eager tendon]

....not me tho

I lose eery time

[woeful hull]

THIS IS ORDE-

[median mauve]

That’s pretty cap

[stuck hamlet]

i know

[crude crater]

||pulls out a combo deck||

[stuck hamlet]

i can read russian language, that's something

[stuck hamlet]

yes

4 wins

meanwhile me with 2

[woeful hull]

[crude crater]

mnec in right conditions beats bin

That's no cap

[celest thicket]

what counter mnec ?

[crude crater]

||send off||

Surly

[celest thicket]

but sendoff never come early

[woeful hull]

How many people are kirano harbingers tho?)

[celest thicket]

also is fishl better than yae ? i feel like yae 2 burst energy is more powerful

[crude crater]

@plush crow

[bitter terrace]

Kirano lost a game too early

[eager tendon]

ready for tomorrow. (I will spend hours learning how to play this deck. No loses tomorrow) (I am delusional)

[fluid tide]

Good luck!

[eager tendon]

thanks : ||prepare for lose||

[fluid tide]

With the amount of times I've lost today and yesterday

Thanks for the warning 👍

[eager tendon]

its all about luck buddy, once my deck kills the entire team in few rounds and once I lose to some cracked ganyu in 3 rounds

[fluid tide]

Too true

I'm just playing the cards that I feel like playing

[eager tendon]

me too

and then I end up losing 😔

[fluid tide]

Same 😅

People who play meta are scary 😭

[eager tendon]

I like seeing numbers and winning tho.. now I play the meta deck for the first time lol

[fluid tide]

Fair enough!

[eager tendon]

I see someone chatting here time to time...

[fluid tide]

Who doesn't like to win?

[eager tendon]

and then stopping

[eager tendon]

exactly

[fluid tide]

[eager tendon]

[fluid tide]

Join us whoever is lurking there

We don't bite

[eager tendon]

||I do||

[bitter terrace]

[fluid tide]

You do!?

[eager tendon]

https://tenor.com/brXch.gif

[fluid tide]

Ah

I just lost again

[eager tendon]

F

[fluid tide]

Welp

I only won 1/10 so far

But I'll take it 🎉

[frosty coral]

This happened last season as well and no measures were taken, so I'll just put this toxic guy on blast

[eager tendon]

what's topdecking

[fluid tide]

That's what I was wondering too?

[torn linden]

like you draw winning card

in last turn

[fluid tide]

Ah

Thanks

[eager tendon]

oh so the term for "you got lucky and I'm mad about this so I will be mean for no reason at all"?

[frosty coral]

Basically

Last season he was mad at what deck I was playing

[hollow turtle]

It seems that the matching system is based on current score rather than win rate.

bad news

[torn linden]

yeah

[eager tendon]

better for me tho

I wanted to have at least 3 wins to get the Cardback, now I'm just going with flow

[fluid tide]

The cardback does look cool...

[eager tendon]

yessss and I love purple so It's even better hehe

[fluid tide]

I just wanted a cardback because I thought it would suit the Albedo card aha

[eager tendon]

oooo right

[fluid tide]

Haven't really gotten to the point of choosing what other characters to include with it tho

Better hope my luck is good enough to win 2 more times

[eager tendon]

good luck!!

[fluid tide]

Thanks!

[sterile latch]

that’s really bad

it means you can save up all your games

[torn linden]

but who will your opp if everyone played games

while you is just like 7-0

and need to play 28 games in 2 days

[frosty coral]

people who do that will just face each other then

[sterile latch]

id imagine it’s more likely to run into people who are 10 losses below you

if i’m 10-0 on day 4 when someone else is 9-10 i will match into them

[humble patrol]

ok, sorry for that

in a bad mood today

[woeful hull]

Oh I met this guy this season. He was malding soo bad

[fickle ingot]

i know him too well, that's normal for him

[woeful hull]

Life is harsh to him ig

Tho I don't pity him

[humble patrol]

what do you mean?

don't remember that i wrote smth to you

[woeful hull]

You were clearly raging about topdecking and cryores

[humble patrol]

mb in gitcg weekly

but not here)

[woeful hull]

it was weekly, huh? If so, my bad. I thought I played you in cat's tail

[humble patrol]

no, i have 2 loses and none of them vs u

but sry for my toxic reaction

[round jetty]

none in queue?

[exotic shadow]

my opponent left after I killed his Itto and he won't accept the outcome

I can't report him because giconclude is already initiated

and for some reason dismissing it fails

who can I turn to to get this match properly concluded?

[rough shell]

Everything you need is in #1096770459892191284

Does playing matches earlier as possible give you extra score?

[exotic shadow]

no but in the case of a tie at the end the person who finished their last match earlier is ranked higher

so it is beneficial to play your matches early on Sunday

[cunning finch]

Contact qixing

Submit proof of their misconduct etc. It will take time but it can't be helped.

[round jetty]

sheesh 8 matches 1 win lol

how is going tournament for you

[rough shell]

Hmm not that bad. Seems like I am following a pattern, 3 wins and 2 loses for yesterday and today

[stuck hamlet]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1031836285935034411.webp?size=56&quality=lossless

why

[eager tendon]

I'm curious if this will cure my problems

[stuck hamlet]

fair

[crude crater]

That's clearly the most optimal play

[crude crater]

What is baka doing

[viscid wadi]

Dota life matters

[humble patrol]

ok

[plain panther]

Really?
It seems really random to me

[plain panther]

I got matched with player who has higher score & winrate than me

So, I don't think it's based on score / winrate

[fringe estuary]

the bot will match you with players have the same win ± 3

[plain panther]

And players who keep winning get matched with players who have some losses

[median mauve]

🧢

[plain panther]

It seems unlikely either

Players can still get matched with more than 3 wins difference

[fringe estuary]

do you have proofs ?

[plain panther]

I got 0% winrate on EU, and I still get matched with strong player

[fringe estuary]

did you ask their score?

[plain panther]

I play against same person twice and they won against me twice

[fringe estuary]

yeah cuz thats normal

[plain panther]

They are strong, and should have higher score than me

@wanton grove if you don't mind to tell, what's your score?

Your score now and when you play ayu

[plain panther]

And I tried playing on Asia and I mostly play against casual players, even though I have 80-90% win rate

The opponent I faced when I have 0% winrate is stronger than my opponent when I have 80% winrate

[torn linden]

because EU is more hardcore than AS

[wanton grove]

my game against you was first ever, now it's 2-0, why :yaethunk:

[torn linden]

[plain panther]

From what I see, the matches so far seen random

I see, it's normal, then
I thought you have some wins before
Just wanna know how the current matchmaking work

[fringe estuary]

Try asking your opponent next time

[plain panther]

[wanton grove]

the players are spread across all scores, no matter their potential strength

[fringe estuary]

you'll see

[wanton grove]

so it's chaotic

at the end of the week it should even out

also cool name dark :kleederp:

playing sneaky

[plain panther]

But someone named L definitely has more wins than me

[wanton grove]

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-smug-smile-miss-kobayashi-kobayashisan-chi-no-maid-dragon-gif-13119038

[crude crater]

🧢

[fringe estuary]

You can join me too

[wanton grove]

I'll just be SUC if I get top16

or kleesis

:kleesis:

[crude crater]

Why tough

Suc is suc

[wanton grove]

why not

[crude crater]

Dosent matter u top 16 or not

[wanton grove]

being on the wave of trends

coz if I'm not top16 noone will see that name :morapls:

[crude crater]

Change it to suc now

[crude crater]

There's still chats

[fringe estuary]

[plain panther]

I get matched with someone who made some very obvious blunder
It's obviously real newbie, even using artifact that decrease electro dice usage on ganyu

[fringe estuary]

ask their score plz

i need statistics

[plain panther]

[crude crater]

He was planning to na on Ganyu trust

[plain panther]

It's hard to ask

[wanton grove]

true ayaya but I'm not talking here often

[plain panther]

[crude crater]

[plain panther]

Even na doesn't work on ganyu

[crude crater]

It works wdym

[plain panther]

I meant the dice is still the same

[crude crater]

element artifact works on everyone

It works for NA tough

[plain panther]

Not decreased

[crude crater]

It is ?

[plain panther]

I see

[crude crater]

It should

[plain panther]

I see
I have never tried it

[crude crater]

Na is two unalinged element

[plain panther]

I see

[crude crater]

And artifact reduces one cost

Of its own element

[plain panther]

Still very bad

[crude crater]

Indeed

I used 2 remaining dice to equip dendro arti on yae

And planned to use covenant to NA

[plain panther]

[crude crater]

And finish the opponent

But i ended turn thinking it wouldn't work

But it works

[plain panther]

I see

[plain panther]

I got quite good result on S2 EU tavern
Just this season & last season my result is very bad

[torn linden]

cos many asians did same like you

like Sherry

[plain panther]

[grand zealot]

Do you play in Asia?

[plain panther]

My ign is ayu

[grand zealot]

Maybe we met there

[plain panther]

If you don't mind to tell, what's your score?

[grand zealot]

7-3

Sadly

[plain panther]

It's quite good, I got 0-3

After losing against you twice & furfur

[grand zealot]

Are you talking about Asia or Europe?

In Europe I have 8-2

[wanton grove]

ig europe coz I don't play in asia:)

[plain panther]

EU

[wanton grove]

:worrypat: still a room for 7-3 though

[plain panther]

I already give up on EU, very bad start and will focus on asia

[grand zealot]

do you play asia?

[plain panther]

Yes

[grand zealot]

It's just that there was a similar nickname

[grand zealot]

Okeey

[plain panther]

But maybe I can use EU to try decks

||or just annoy players with stall deck ||

[wanton grove]

please no 40min bin made my brain fried for the next 20 mins

https://tenor.com/view/tired-dead-dying-anime-sigh-gif-15759433

[grand zealot]

Have you played the pyrokeq?

[plain panther]

You're really thinking your move

[wanton grove]

well I do want to have my chances to win too :kleek:

[plain panther]

Yes, and it's a deck from several months ago

I forgot to update it with new cards

[wanton grove]

using up 10 dice for the turn is no easy task

[grand zealot]

And you lost on it?

[plain panther]

Yes

[wanton grove]

pyrokeq just not it anymore imo, it shines on r3-r4 but for this meta its too slow:c

[plain panther]

I lost all matches on EU

[grand zealot]

sorry

[plain panther]

Np

[plain panther]

[plain panther]

Btw, sorry I was late to confirm today
I haven't played on tavern for a while, and the previous season I only play a few games, I forget I need to confirm whether I win / lose

[wanton grove]

tis fine I understand :kleepat:

sometimes I forget about it too

bruh I was talking to you and forgot to confirm queue match
now I have a cooldown lmao

[plain panther]

Sorry

[wanton grove]

I need to focus on one thing xd

na tis not your fault just a funny moment

[hollow turtle]

play against BIN is so exhausting

lasts 40 min

[wanton grove]

I think you play BIN too, am I right?

[covert tusk]

playing the same enemy back to back every time, gg

always waiting for the last second to end their turn

should be against the rules

[wanton grove]

it's not and will never be

[spiral bay]

some of us like to think about their moves im sorry 😞

[fringe estuary]

just dont time rope

thats a super annoying bad manner play

[spiral bay]

Whats time rope?

[fringe estuary]

its like when you just need to atk this time and win

[spiral bay]

ah. well yeah, that sucks

[fringe estuary]

but wait for the clock to nearly run out

and tune a card for more time

[eager tendon]

this event makes me rethink my TCG skills

[hollow turtle]

I rarely play BIN

I prefer Amber

[sterile latch]

INA

[fringe estuary]

There's a deck call Ayamiya

can melt any itto

[celest thicket]

Is double pyro itto good against bin ?

[crude crater]

No

[celest thicket]

it's similar to ayamiya tho, a combo deck using vanessa and parametric

[crude crater]

Yes

But

Eh

Bin has more resources

U can't win with rush itto bcz they can as well

If u go benett route

They rush itto

All in all ull get cooked regardless

They have heals /equipments/weapons of needed

[median mauve]

This is not entirely wrong

But pyro itto still cooks bin most of the time

[crude crater]

I have only faced Pyro itto once with bin

So it's a intresting question

[celest thicket]

they can't kill benett with itto early with bin

and double pyro itto on round 3 can deal20 dmgeasily

[crude crater]

Bin can be played like double Pyro itto

[median mauve]

No

[crude crater]

Trust

[median mauve]

Pyro itto has way more extra dice cards and ramp

[celest thicket]

exactly

[median mauve]

And because of this it has both more pressure and better combo capabilities

[crude crater]

But i don't think Pyro itto is as much of a threat like ayamiya or something

[stuck hamlet]

[hollow turtle]

if you want to play double pyro, why choose itto

[median mauve]

Pyro itto has 2 chars that you can sit on to do something unlike bin

Which means unlike in a bin mirror where the opponent is trading hits with only your itto, against double pyro itto he's trading hits against both bennett and itto

[celest thicket]

if u have everything set up correctly, this comp can dish over 30 dmg in one turn at round 3 or 4

[wanton grove]

dpyro is a meme
it's for wovens, bennet's burst, and yoi's 1-cost skill

you don't even run pyro reso there
