i dont have kleesis so this should be a good sub

[crude crater]

she is mvp in 1v1

MM i mean

[brave ice]

Universal png kleesis

[median mauve]

One kleesis a day keeps juslin away

[native forge]

i hate that deck now because of a short story

so TW/HK had a competition like 1 or2 months ago

[median mauve]

Prince cup qualifier?

[native forge]

only 16 registed

[crude crater]

one kleegun a day keeps the
honoured one humbled

[native forge]

it's after the prince cup

[median mauve]

[crude crater]

[native forge]

and most of them are new to this game

i saw a deck like zhongli-diona-random fire element

and i lost 2 agentEC mirror with 0 heal

[median mauve]

I always win agent ec mirrors

[native forge]

eliminated in group phase

[median mauve]

[crude crater]

~~just listen bro ~~

[median mauve]

I want to sing my own praises

[native forge]

i played some games with all TOP4 players later on, and destroyed all of them

[median mauve]

[native forge]

still confused what happend to me that day

so i'm now a oceanid hater

[median mauve]

Everyone has off days where they don’t do well

[crude crater]

my bulb is always off

infact it got fused

[median mauve]

[native forge]

[crude crater]

good tragic backstory for the upcoming protagonist

[teal sparrow]

This fr. I knew a pro MTG player who was one of the best in the country who dropped from nationals because they just weren't winning

[weary spoke]

Let's go 22h59 matchmaking

Actually does the matchmaking still works now that it's 23h
I probably won't get a match then

[median mauve]

Every time I lose I can just blame it on having a bad day

[native forge]

i once got a match at :06

[crude crater]

i tried to sleep early today and it's 3:30 am already

ig it's an improvement from yesterday

[native forge]

[median mauve]

You can match into people after the time slot is over

[native forge]

6am here

[teal sparrow]

I cant sleep that late again today

[median mauve]

You just can’t queue

[weary spoke]

What how.

I would guess it's either both match directly or after 23h since no one is in queue no match

The matchmaking is slowed on purpose or the code behind it is so spaghetti it takes so much time to compute a match

[median mauve]

Anyway where is my goon liliba

Why not on the leaderboard?

[crude crater]

why do u guys get active during my sleepage time

[native forge]

idk i first thought it was kind of mechanism

[weary spoke]

Yo I actually got a match ! :0

[native forge]

but some exprience told me it isnt

[plain panther]

Same, but for me it's mostly because of internet connection issue

[weary spoke]

I won my first match let's fkin go

[wicked echo]

wait i didnt know

[native forge]

its on TW/HK server

and you need id cards to register

[wicked echo]

hmmmmm i got the cards but not the ID

[hollow turtle]

preparing for the final exam

[teal sparrow]

I'm a little late but goodluck to everyone playing today!

[deep sandal]

You perfectly dodged me bruh

I wonder when I'm gonna meet my favourite ghoul in an official match

[leaden basalt]

Is he from Tokio?

[teal sparrow]

I didn't try dodge you I was getting a friend to work

[deep sandal]

Always late

[teal sparrow]

I still gotta record yesterday's games before I decide if I wanna play this morning

[deep sandal]

Slacking as always

Oh right youre uploading them

[teal sparrow]

Sorry I'll play my TCG games before I get my friend to work on time next time

[teal sparrow]

Nah just for personal VOD review

[deep sandal]

You should consider it tho

Could be ez content if youre busy some time

You'd still have something to upload

[teal sparrow]

I'll see how I do this time around. Was talking about it with Zen on Monday

[deep sandal]

Anyways, gl to you

[teal sparrow]

You too!

[deep sandal]

Nope

I was just able to play some morning queue because a subject fell

[teal sparrow]

Ebrithil

This isn't DMs

[deep sandal]

I just noticed

Dc is complicated what can I say

[teal sparrow]

It's true

[eager tendon]

good luck with todays games comrades

[still arrow]

[teal sparrow]

I might not even play today so take your chance at the seat

[brave ice]

[teal sparrow]

Silky if you win do we all get free Kleesis?

[eager tendon]

I just pray to not play against anyone from lb again yesterday it happened with like 2?3? people lol

and guess what I lost every time

[teal sparrow]

Dw I won't be on lb for much longer so you can play against me

[brave ice]

If I get to top 16 I will give everyone a free kleesis

It won't happen though

[eager tendon]

what was your ranking last season?

[teal sparrow]

I believe in Silky supremacy

[eager tendon]

I believe too

[valid lagoon]

One more believer here. You can do it Silky!

[brave ice]

My fans . Thank youu, I will do my best and maybe it'll be enough

[cold torrent]

[eager tendon]

goal to be on lb

[brave ice]

Exactly

[eager tendon]

my is to be better than before, such a small goal yet so hard to achieve when everyone is becoming better

[teal sparrow]

Dw Szupi thats my goal too

[willow mulch]

does the t16 move to knockout phase?

omg my opponent beat my ass then KICKED ME OUT 😭

[teal sparrow]

As far as I know top 16 are for KO rounds yeh

I still need to play my games for today

[brave ice]

I hate when people do this, why be so mean

Even worse when they do this after they lost

[willow mulch]

like, im already an inexperienced loser

you couldve say gg before kicking me out man

[teal sparrow]

People who kick you when you say GG win or lose are cringe

[brave ice]

I always chat with opponent a bit after game, no matter who win

[willow mulch]

i was still at the result screen when i got kicked out, not a chance to even say gg

[teal sparrow]

Damn

Btw whose in first rn? They've gone 14-1

[velvet jungle]

sooo, 25wins isn't even enough?
i was aiming for that number 😦

wait how many you won?22 or less?

[teal sparrow]

Top make top 16 you need like 28ish wins

[tough dock]

Okay i just went super Saiyan on this one guy i replayed the end of turn combo was awesome

[teal sparrow]

Sheeesh that's Kaito for you

[tough dock]

also how am i 3-2

[teal sparrow]

Cause meta is weird rn

I need to 5-0 today if I wanna hit #1 lb again

[valid lagoon]

If you cant see the name, it is Riku

[teal sparrow]

Yeah I could only see numbers thanks

[velvet jungle]

about the matchmaking, is there a 2times limit for gettiing matched with the same person?

[valid lagoon]

If you check leaderboard from 2023 CTG S5, people needed 25-10 score or higher to proceed to KO in EU and NA, and 26-9 or higher in AS

It might be harder this patch though, who knows

[pallid torrent]

I played against him, I could’ve won if I did *** instead of ***, it’s a shame

He’s got the Fischl Nahida Lyney deck

With the strategy of pulling dice of of one’s a** with gilded dreams 🤣

[velvet jungle]

niccee another cancer enjoyer

[tough dock]

yeah i hate that deck, i ran into someone called Kira and lost my 1st match of ctg

may need to switch to DP to counter later on in the tournament

[leaden basalt]

No DP pls

[velvet jungle]

imagine having 4dice to kill and win, then you see none is aligned
also had only 2 carda to fix that

[teal sparrow]

FiNaLy is cope

Is just relies on Gilded high roll

[willow mulch]

got kicked again. ppl are so rude

[eager tendon]

btw yesterday I thought I was the one joining your world and even did the ayaka skill for more magical outro IM SORRY SILKY I KICKED YOU 😭😭 I felt so bad after that

[teal sparrow]

So you're telling me I need to win 16 more games? I'm 9-1 atm

[tough dock]

They are probz just catching up, there is no point sitting in someones world when you can be starting other matches

[fading crest]

You didn't have to be that specific

[pallid torrent]

Wops 😬

My bad

[teal sparrow]

Btw congrats on 1st for today Riku

[fading crest]

It's alright

[teal sparrow]

Was it a clean 5-0 or?

[brave ice]

I had 21 wins last time

[fading crest]

Thanks but good players will take this place very soon

[teal sparrow]

Dw it won't be me

[fading crest]

I almost lost 2 games

[pallid torrent]

Yeah that one with me

[fading crest]

Yes

[pallid torrent]

I almost won, only if I did *****

In the end

[fading crest]

Did what?

[pallid torrent]

Don’t wanna say hehe

[brave ice]

It's all okay

[pallid torrent]

Before final round I had one move that could’ve been game changing

But whatever

Good luck everyone for tomorrow

[teal sparrow]

No luck for evening gang?

[eager tendon]

[pallid torrent]

Ah yes I forgot there’s also evening

[eager tendon]

hopefully it’s better than yesterdays

[teal sparrow]

If I play today it'll be in evening

[eager tendon]

I’m thinking of switching my deck because it keeps winninggggg

[teal sparrow]

Otherwise it's 10 games tomorrow morning

[teal sparrow]

Keep winning so you can get lb

[eager tendon]

my deck is not as good as Raiden Nahida Xiangling ||there’s probably a name to it but I’m always the last one to know this TCG slang||. I only one once with that deck, I think it’s worth switching to it tbh

[teal sparrow]

RXN

It's really strong in the right hands but it's very linear and telegraphy

[fading crest]

Tbh Its more highroll based than finaly

[teal sparrow]

RXN has Xiangling Ult for gas though whereas FiNaLy is more summon based

[fading crest]

Getting liusu early is crucial

Otherwise deck is not that strong

[teal sparrow]

I mean I've won tons of games without Liu

He just speeds the deck up to insane speeds

[brave ice]

As if FiNaLy wasn't highroll based, playing skill-based deck with no dice fixing and relying on getting lyresong and yayoi to cheat dice

[teal sparrow]

I think FiNaLy is high rolly for the same reason magic is

[fading crest]

Finaly has a stove

[teal sparrow]

My only loss so far has been to Yelan, Egirl, Signora and that was because my opponent rolled into double gilded, Yayaoi, boar, gamblers, double lyre song

[median mauve]

Both decks are mid

One is worse than the other though

[teal sparrow]

The honored one is here pog

When are you gonna queue KevinZ?

[median mauve]

Ig I’ll play today

[fading crest]

Im glad i already played

[teal sparrow]

Noted Queue tomorrow

[brave ice]

Kevin with no wins yet shouldn't immediately queue into leaderboard

[teal sparrow]

Fair though I'm not on lb

I'm just 5 games behind because I wasn't feeling well this morning

[median mauve]

[teal sparrow]

Why pita grab

[median mauve]

Because we will play in a few hours surely

[teal sparrow]

Surely

Ebrithil gonna play some with me later and depending how I feel playing those I might play a few this evening

Might not do all 5 though

[median mauve]

[teal sparrow]

I just don't wanna play while not feeling well cause I'll make mistakes

[crude crater]

ur bio is T0

im still holding om lb without playing

this wouldn't ever happen in AS

[teal sparrow]

What's your score Nomad?

[crude crater]

in EU or AS ?

EU is 11-1

[teal sparrow]

Well didn't know you're playing both so EU yeh

[crude crater]

asia 7-4

3 of them were mew mirrors

[teal sparrow]

I see you're taking the risk of playing multi region though

[viscid wadi]

It is not quite spending risk but definitely spending time

[teal sparrow]

Wasn't there the new thing added that multi region is strongly discouraged though?

[brave ice]

But you can't be penalised for doing it if you don't get to top 16 in at least two regions

[maiden harness]

they wrote it’s not recommended, but essentially they’re okay with it

[teal sparrow]

So 17 is okay? Noted :pitastonks:

[viscid wadi]

What law power you see behind this? Discouraged != Forbidden and taxed... And you can also write if you are interested in participating in prince or not, so will you be invited or not...

[crude crater]

and the penalty is something related to not able to participate in some qualifiers

so those who care about that should play one region

[oak nest]

yeah it happened to me too during previous cup (i havent played in this one yet). sometimes its better to queue up a few seconds later to make sure its not a double match 😄

if someone is truly roping (eg. there's not much to do) and not just thinking, just record the match and then report it, as its against the rules

[fringe estuary]

[teal sparrow]

Ich nie san shi GOMENASAI

[red lotus]

That's all I could find.

[teal sparrow]

That's for serious Showdown not preliminary rounds

[eager tendon]

for a second I thought you’re speaking German…

[bitter terrace]

If you qualify in 2 regions you can just deny in one

[teal sparrow]

Nah not today

[eager tendon]

[teal sparrow]

You playing evening queue btw Szupi?

[eager tendon]

Yeppp

[teal sparrow]

Goodluck

[eager tendon]

and I’m thinking of switching my deck because I keep seeing one that wins with me all the time

[teal sparrow]

If you wanna practice it before you play lemme know

[eager tendon]

I just need to search up how it’s built because no one is sharing it on tcg server or I just look not where I should

[teal sparrow]

What deck is it? (I might have a list)

[eager tendon]

hm I kinda want to, lemme just try to build it, are you free in 30 mins?

[eager tendon]

txn

r

[teal sparrow]

I shall be

Oh

[eager tendon]

rxn

[teal sparrow]

You want the newest version of RXN or?

[eager tendon]

Ig most people use the newest version, ik a couple of cards tho so I can replay them to see it myself but I wouldn’t mind a little help with it

[teal sparrow]

Well I'm not playing today so I don't mind helping

[fierce stump]

want someone to play a couple of rounds for practice ?

[oak nest]

another fan of king chris, eh? 🙂

[teal sparrow]

No?

That's the lyrics to the song of the gif

[oak nest]

ah okay, i jsut know it through his videos, so i thought it'S something he came up with 😄

btw can i ascend my card level during the preliminaries? i just got an ascension quest, but I input levle 9 during the prelims, so I was wondering if there's an issue if I get lvl 10 now

[bitter terrace]

There is no problem in that

[oak nest]

oh btw remember how we were talking about the cardbacks during previous season? I got it and it's looking super good! Also when I tried looking at it on my IPS monitor, I noticed with a surprise that it was really looking purple a lot on that monitor, so it really looks very purple on some displays! (and not blue). It's really interesting how that cardback looks so differently depending on what screen you use 😄

[oak nest]

Okay, thanks! 🙂

[teal sparrow]

That would just be because colour saturation

[oak nest]

Yeah, it was interesting. I knew that it's looking more purple on other screens, but i didn't think it would be that much purple, so it looks almost completely purple instead of blue. 🙂

[teal sparrow]

I hear master Binzu is queueing

[wicked echo]

HUH

[median mauve]

Surely I run into Binzu

[wicked echo]

we most likely have the same wins

[median mauve]

Global rank 1207

[wicked echo]

Global Rank 605

[median mauve]

Binzu is twice as good as me

[wicked echo]

i jumped to 471

wohoo

[teal sparrow]

Global rank 125. Does that mean I'm 10x better than KevinZ?

[wicked echo]

kevin you like 4-0 rn?

[median mauve]

1-0

[wicked echo]

oh wow

[full ridge]

100% win rate

[wicked echo]

i thought you were only a bit behind me in games

[median mauve]

Surely if you queue we won’t run into each other

[wicked echo]

[teal sparrow]

Fr KevinZ the goat with that WL ratio

[median mauve]

It’s taking so long to find matches

[wicked echo]

i have 5 more games then kevin

if i dont queue he cant surpass me

[weary spoke]

Maybe we'll match together
I just started queuing

[median mauve]

Binzu is 0-6

[wicked echo]

yeah

how did he know

[eager tendon]

[median mauve]

Only 10 matches needed to make LB

[wicked echo]

maybe i will stop after match 10

getting to 10-0 before kevin will gatekeep him of the LB

[brave ice]

EXP

[wicked echo]

im trying to get my 35-0 this time

[teal sparrow]

I'm on 9-1 so if I can do it you both can go 10-0

[wicked echo]

but im lazy i still have 9 matches to go

[teal sparrow]

I gotta play 10 tonorrow

Surely I can go 19-1

[tough dock]

A lot of reverse boosting going on around here

[teal sparrow]

Wdym?

[crude crater]

my phone battery deadge no ctg for me ig for now

[median mauve]

1078

[empty lion]

how do you see the rank ?

[crude crater]

ill probably still be on the lb even if i don't play for another timeslot

[tough dock]

the later you start on average you will get people with less wins

[teal sparrow]

THat makes snese

Wait for all the good player's to quqe then snipe

[full ridge]

I'll write down the strategy

[wicked echo]

you click on my ranking

[median mauve]

I see no good players on the lb

Because I don’t see myself

[wicked echo]

[crude crater]

u want my honest opinion

[crystal moon]

isnt this mean

[crude crater]

i only see one good player rn

[crystal moon]

yeah i know who it is

[empty lion]

that's pretty good ig

[median mauve]

[crude crater]

u don't

[crystal moon]

suc aaa shadow

[crude crater]

No

that guy is a Noob

[median mauve]

Ryzac things nomad sees himself as good

[crude crater]

only good player is F2S i think on lb

[crystal moon]

no i see nomad as good

[crude crater]

as of now

[crystal moon]

i really meant that

[median mauve]

Ngl the whole starting later Strat is so fake

[wicked echo]

is anyone actually using it?

[crystal moon]

how ?

[crude crater]

it dosent really matter

just be good

[crystal moon]

starting late strat better ig

but by a small margin

[median mauve]

[crude crater]

no bcz all good players will start late so .

if it was good now it won't

[median mauve]

All I’m doing is making my queues take longer

[crystal moon]

but many of them will be tempted to finish games as soon as possible

[crystal moon]

it isnt even queue time yet

[median mauve]

Whether I play day 1 or not I’ll get 30 wins anyway

[crystal moon]

will u say something that isnt obvious kevin

[crude crater]

is EU 10 loses to make it to top 16

[crystal moon]

10

[crude crater]

yes?

[crystal moon]

will it be that high

[crude crater]

it was last time

asia was 9

NA 10 as well

[crystal moon]

oh

yeah maybe it will be 11 this time

[crude crater]

probably
chances are to be more not less

[crystal moon]

what happened to u in asia tho ?

[crude crater]

we don't talk about that

[crystal moon]

[crude crater]

8-5

im just testing my stuff on asia to get them going in eu
trust

[fringe estuary]

oh no the Pros has been awaken

be prepare for a sweep

[tough dock]

I have some catching up to do

[wicked echo]

is this your EU?

[tough dock]

yeah lol, ive never really done ctg seriously

[wicked echo]

you better start to get those points

[median mauve]

EU could honestly be 11 losses

Looking like it could be

[wicked echo]

yeah a lot of early losses

[median mauve]

12 losses

People usually tank more losses later days as well

[wicked echo]

kevin tanked 7 losses already and is coping now

[median mauve]

Feels like less invaders overall

Bro I’ve only played 3 games

[wicked echo]

and 7 losses in 3 games

[median mauve]

[wicked echo]

[median mauve]

My power knows no bounds

So maybe 7 losses in 3 games is possible for me

[echo fossil]

slowly making comeback after abysmal day 1

[median mauve]

9-6 is top 28

[wicked echo]

you submitted the 4 losses against gary

[median mauve]

How does he know?

[echo fossil]

it's probably because there's still 2 and a half hours to go

[wicked echo]

me thinking if i play 3 more games to be on LB

[median mauve]

I’m scared of losing not gonna cap

[eager tendon]

@teal sparrow 7-8 thats more loses than wins this is depressing. these ppl have no mercy

[wicked echo]

i feel you. losing sucks

thats also why i stopped losing

[median mauve]

Yeah why do things that suck

[eager tendon]

yeah I forgot to stop losing

[median mauve]

That’s rough

There’s always a next time though

[eager tendon]

next seson is gonna be my seson (I will do no progress)

next time was 3 sesons ago too

[median mauve]

I have too many expectations on me

Why is queue so slow

Binzu is it this slow for you too?

[wicked echo]

its not that slow

[median mauve]

I’m waiting at least 5 mins between each match

[wicked echo]

i need like 2 min if i want to find a match

[alpine ravine]

now I know why i keep meeting strong players

I only want cardback 😭

[teal sparrow]

But how was today's games?

[empty lion]

bro idk what's happening with my card luck

its so bad

love pulling 6 artefacts first round

👍

[teal sparrow]

Are you mulliganing?

[tough dock]

okay imma just do like one match i hope i dont brick

[eager tendon]

2 wins 3 loses, some ppl were taking forever just to do a single attack and then win anyways my patience was gone

[teal sparrow]

Absolute rip

Did you feel the deck was better than what you were running tho?

[tough dock]

Lool the guy i was playing against conceded, i told him to look at the rules as he will now get a strike

[fringe estuary]

Face defeat like a man or getting a strike

[median mauve]

[grizzled yoke]

I lost all my matches today bye

[mild birch]

lol you made that into a sticker

[eager tendon]

even if I lose many times I feel like I can do this deck now instead of my previous one, I just need to match my actions with my opponent’s deck better because sometimes I wished I did the other thing but due to stress I made stupid mistakes lol but who would I be if I didn’t

[thorny mesa]

im starting to see more players i know its so joever

hanging onto that top 16 by a thread now

[median mauve]

Losing early is better after all

0 losses gives me anxiety

[brave ice]

Another day finished

[median mauve]

Where are all the invaders

The leaderboards look… normal

[thorny mesa]

tomorrow morning its gonna be all numbers

[eager tendon]

brooooo congrats on this score very impressive to me

[wispy rivet]

is invading being discouraged actually working? :yaethunk:

[brave ice]

Fighting with the power of friendship I guess

[teal sparrow]

We rooting Silky on

[wispy rivet]

ayawah silky congrats

here i'm coping with BIN

😔

[brave ice]

But the day will come when Kevin and Binzu finally catch me-

[wispy rivet]

i heard kevin will finish 0-0 so it's fine :trust:

[teal sparrow]

I might go ahead of them and catch you tomorrow morning

[brave ice]

I heard some good AS players play with BIN so surely it's still viable deck

[teal sparrow]

Just play DIG

Or Dehya, Azdaha, Itto

[brave ice]

Can't catch me on morning

Me not queue

[teal sparrow]

That's okay

I'll just keep lb spot warm till evening queue for you

I got 10 games to play

[teal sparrow]

So far my score is 9-1

[eager tendon]

Binzu catched me so you are not safe either

[teal sparrow]

And after all the practice

I guess I couldn't train you well enough I'm sorry

[eager tendon]

mannn I didnt even have a chance

[brave ice]

It's okay, my winrate against Binzu is a least higher than 0%

[eager tendon]

with him

[median mauve]

I lost to one of my goons

[eager tendon]

dont worry mate I like our practices

[fierce stump]

hey Takti, wanna play a few rounds with me ? i want to practice with someone also

[teal sparrow]

I can play like 2 or 3 but I'm on my way to bed

[median mauve]

And it takes forever to find a match

[fierce stump]

for me even 1 would be enough

if you don't mind

[teal sparrow]

I'll log on now

[fierce stump]

Thanks!!

[wicked echo]

my match just took 40 min relax

[teal sparrow]

Just DM your UID so we can match

[fringe estuary]

good work guys

now im 1207th

[wispy rivet]

🥹 is that so

well one can cope that it is meta

i sure can afford to be delusional enough to do so, so i'm not troubled by being a coper :trust:

[wispy rivet]

are y'all playing dp? :yaethunk:

[wicked echo]

[bitter terrace]

Ls mirror

[wispy rivet]

[bitter terrace]

Binzu big bully

[wispy rivet]

my heart wouldn't last an ls mirror

my condolences to you both

[bitter terrace]

I knew binzu will take ls or dp so I q ls

[fringe estuary]

why not Yelan OTK ?

[bitter terrace]

R9 then everything went downhill

[bitter terrace]

I love playing stall mirrors

[fringe estuary]

golden card back buff

[wispy rivet]

:ayawah:

seems the golden card let binzu draw ning talent and wep faster :yaethunk:

[fringe estuary]

tenshu b4 vana

oh no

[bitter terrace]

And haven't tried yelan otk and it doesn't seem very good to me

[wispy rivet]

please spread this message farther. i need the yelan otk player population to go down for personal reasons :kleekicant:

[bitter terrace]

R1 tenshu and vana in later rounds

[fringe estuary]

[bitter terrace]

It will soon be finished

Looks so over in eu for me

Already 8-4

[wispy rivet]

:ayawah: who did you even face for that to happen

[thorny mesa]

so true pillow so true

2 out of my 4 losses were to yelan

[wicked echo]

sounds doable to me

[bitter terrace]

One to binzu one to yelan and one to absurd finaly highroll don't remember the 4th one

[bitter terrace]

Yeah surely

[wispy rivet]

:worrypat:

[bitter terrace]

Haven't lost any game on my favourite deck so it's a relief

[maiden harness]

Zenin what score ?

[brave ice]

I know exactly who but I can't say to not be accused of leaking decks

Binzu stall again

Maybe good to know

[wicked echo]

Silky thinks me stall.
Good to know

[wicked echo]

[bitter terrace]

[fierce stump]

[crude crater]

u have asia with u

i have eu with me
trust

kopium

[crude crater]

why is there no offline tournament for Russians
when RU community is clearly bigger than whole EU combined

[teal sparrow]

Good question actually

[misty island]

So next Prince Cup would be directly in Kremlin. pog

[teal sparrow]

They'd need to get an Adidas sponsorship for the venue

[teal sparrow]

Goodluck to everyone playing today!

[crude crater]

hmm

[viscid wadi]

Shkq on tb instead of nhl

Show on TV instead of nhl

[plain panther]

Really?

[viscid wadi]

I think russian playing community is still < EU... At least rn

[brave ice]

If only best players of EU server were actually players from EU and not from AS...

[teal sparrow]

I'm a good EU player though right?

[thorny mesa]

At least the leaderboard had no @abunchofnumbers yesterday

Were entering the renaissance

[teal sparrow]

[teal sparrow]

Yeah

[cold torrent]

[teal sparrow]

I mean you're the 2nd time since testing the deck that I lost to your deck

I've won the rest of that matchup

[eager tendon]

dice luck was not in your side?

[teal sparrow]

Hasn't been all day

[cold torrent]

.

[teal sparrow]

tfd?

[eager tendon]

danm

[cold torrent]

thousand floating dreams

[teal sparrow]

No

[cold torrent]

oh i hashed there to play around tfd + tandoori

[teal sparrow]

tfd is cope in the deck

[cold torrent]

anyways don't play that deck
if i had brought some stall or cleanse u hard loose

[teal sparrow]

Yeah I know dw

You're not the first to tell me that and I know it's a bad deck

I'm playing it because nothing else feels right rn for me

Btw I've beaten stall multiple times with it even through cleanse

[eager tendon]

you played that deck you told me about yesterday?

[teal sparrow]

I haven't shown you the deck

[eager tendon]

oh alright then I thought it was, when hearing tfd

[crude crater]

once u face the real players like kevin/binzu never Queue decks like that

[eager tendon]

I’m thinking of doing stall today tho

[crude crater]

ur just gonna get robbed

[teal sparrow]

Trust me I know

I don't need to be reminded

[eager tendon]

[crude crater]

🙂

[eager tendon]

why is ur name so long

[crude crater]

i can make it longer

[teal sparrow]

Also if you're telling me not to run the deck why not tell me an alternative?

[valid lagoon]

Asia invitational is in progress right now, you can watch the stream/vods and get some ideas/copy the decks

[teal sparrow]

Wait that's already started?

[valid lagoon]

Yep

check astra carnival youtube channel

[crude crater]

embrace stall

[eager tendon]

what’s that

[teal sparrow]

I thought it was later in the day for me I messed up time zones

[crude crater]

there are only two decks

that matters

[marble jacinth]

group A's up right now~ https://www.twitch.tv/astracarnival

[crude crater]

stall and stall breaker

[teal sparrow]

I'll play a bit more then catch em

I swapped to something else for now

[crude crater]

i would suggest

pyro keq

[teal sparrow]

Pyro keq is good but I'm trying to decide if Lyney is good in it or not

[crude crater]

the only anoying matchup i can think of is 2nemo

not the Shenhe one

[teal sparrow]

Isn't MEW annoying for it too since they can freeze Kek

[crude crater]

stall dehya one

[teal sparrow]

Yeah I know

2nemo has diff name

[crude crater]

u just take wanderer down

and heal with benny

and fwof as soon as possible to catch them

somthing like that

[crystal moon]

What happened

[crude crater]

also if i had idea of this meta
i wouldn't be struggling as well

[crude crater]

mmr kicking in

[crystal moon]

Lol

All these guys high rolling opponents

And now mmr kicking in

[crude crater]

are u doing 3 region?

[crystal moon]

No I am doing only one

[teal sparrow]

Dice of cringe with some mmr

[crystal moon]

So all this while u didn’t face any good players

[teal sparrow]

I wasn't even high rolling days 1 and 2

[visual iron]

I think i broke the mmr matchmaking, im so bad It cant find opponents Kappa

[teal sparrow]

Nah i faced 1 or 2 good players but majority were named I didn't recognize

[crystal moon]

I see

[teal sparrow]

Tier 2 deck could only take me so far

[crystal moon]

Woah now it became tier 2

But when u were 9-1 it was secret sauce

[teal sparrow]

Wdym it was always tier 2 secret sauce

It just happened to work till it didn't

[visual iron]

Krabby Patty secret sauce?

[crystal moon]

Oh what sauce tho

[teal sparrow]

Sauce Sauce

[crystal moon]

[teal sparrow]

I went 0-4 with it today though

Swapped to something else and I've won 2

[visual iron]

Pog

[teal sparrow]

My last 15 games from Friday-Sunday are gonna have to be insane though if I wanna make LB

Cause I'm now 11-5

[visual iron]

At least you are playing

Im rerolling queue for 30 minutes and cant find a game

Im currently 0-4 ;-;

[plain panther]

[pallid torrent]

Gosh I lost in the worst way possible..

If I got my hands on only 1 weapon card I would’ve won easily 😭😭

Rng bullshit

[teal sparrow]

That's what I felt like this morning lol

[crude crater]

where is kelvinZ

hiding i see

[visual iron]

He's already in final 2

[crude crater]

final 2 ?

[visual iron]

He won so much devs stopped him

[crude crater]

oh

[teal sparrow]

He somehow broke the system and went 35-35 on day 1

[visual iron]

35-0*

[teal sparrow]

I'm clinging to LB so hard

[visual iron]

This is my today's gameplay

The final boss

[pallid torrent]

Im free to do another

If anyone’s available

[teal sparrow]

I would Q but my brain is dead

[crude crater]

no

i was close tough

just kidding

highest is i think 33-2 or 32-3

[teal sparrow]

Top 16 cut is gonna be like 27-8 right?

[pulsar flare]

no

more than 10 losses

[lilac matrix]

:v then i wont be enter, people have too luck with the start 7 cards (round 1 + round 2)

still can believe the cards that my rival get in 1st round

[teal sparrow]

Do you mean 10< or 10>

[pulsar flare]

10 or 11

[lilac matrix]

if you check the last tornaments, the cut is around 7-8 loses

in eu

[pulsar flare]

it was 10 last time

[pallid torrent]

Guys, if you hypothetically get in top 16, can you just stop there and decline playing the next stage?

Or do you have to play on?

[pulsar flare]

u have the option to decline

[teal sparrow]

You probably can decline but idk why you would

[pulsar flare]

it has happened before

[lilac matrix]

S5 was 10, the other S4 and S3 was 8, and dont know why S2 was 13 loses

[pallid torrent]

Ok thanks

[lilac matrix]

probably someone that play in 2 regions

[pallid torrent]

I heard that in Italy you can’t claim the money prize or something

[teal sparrow]

So at 13-5 rn I have to win at least 12/17 matches left across prelims?

25-10 sounds like it's cutting it close

[pulsar flare]

what abt this

[lilac matrix]

i just check the last tornaments in eu score

[pulsar flare]

no i meant this

[lilac matrix]

i think is more 27-8, since 260 score is rng for enter top 16, the last tornament people enter with 260, but maybe this time wont

[pulsar flare]

this was eu top 16 in the first ctg tourney

[lilac matrix]

oh mb, where you check that?

[pulsar flare]

in preliminary leaderboards

this has a different name tho

1st alpha tournament

[crude crater]

it was alpha

[teal sparrow]

Yeah 27-8 is where I was thinking too

[tough dock]

just went 3 -1 i lost to a stupid Ayaka freeze deck. Im gonna go in hard this evening.

[crude crater]

my prediction is atleast 10 loses

[teal sparrow]

So I can only afford 5< losses now

[lilac matrix]

probably i just go to study my uni things xD, i dont think i will win all my games without losing 4 more (already lose 5), i should since the examens are coming,

xd

[teal sparrow]

Whose in 1st rn I just see numbers?

[dull forge]

so why didn't you confirm the results onS5, which resulted in me not completing the competition

still vividly remember

[pulsar flare]

riku

[valid lagoon]

Its Riku again XD

[teal sparrow]

Riku going 17-1 is insane

[valid lagoon]

Honestly, yeah

[pallid torrent]

I also just see numbers, I think that Riku got mad I spoiled his deck 😑

[lilac matrix]

[teal sparrow]

Riku has THE sauce it seems

[pallid torrent]

He’s 18-1 rn

[tough dock]

I hardly play cats tail, surley if we finished a match within the timeframe you could of went to mods to review it

[teal sparrow]

He's only played 18 games so 17-1

[pallid torrent]

Ah yeah you’re right

[teal sparrow]

Riku must've figured out the meta really fast

I shoulda switched decks earlier too

[pallid torrent]

Im curious what decks hes gonna use in the knockouts

[teal sparrow]

A safe bet is the options of 2nemo, DP, MEW, FiNaLy and some sauce

[pallid torrent]

What’s DP and mew?

Mona wanderer Eula I think, but dp ?

[teal sparrow]

Death Penalty and Mona, Eula, Wanderer

Gilded Lyresong buffed MEW a lot this patch

[pallid torrent]

Yeah

[lilac matrix]

who put that names in that decks :?

[teal sparrow]

Community

[lilac matrix]

oh xd

[teal sparrow]

The weeklies group likes the 3 letter names

[visual iron]

The Pokémon?

[teal sparrow]

The deck

[visual iron]

Me trying to figure out 3 cards starting with M E W:

[teal sparrow]

Mona, Eula, Wanderer

[teal sparrow]

^

[visual iron]

Oh the deck "double It and give It to the next Person"

I really Need to train properly in this game, no problem at 5-0 in matchmaking, and in tournaments i suck so bad

[teal sparrow]

Double it and give it to the next person?

[leaden basalt]

He just beated me 2 times )0

[visual iron]

Mona doubles, eula bursts, dead, burst explodes, dead x2

[leaden basalt]

Riku, darling, please dont go to sleep when you'll be in ctg final xD

[teal sparrow]

Oh right Riku did do that for Majors

[leaden basalt]

He didnt sleep the whole night, so it's normal)

[teal sparrow]

Riku definitely gaming rn though

I don't think I can catch up imo

[leaden basalt]

It sometimes so fun to see numbers instead of nicknames xD

I only see that DVDia-chan is on 5th place and Riku-chan on 1st

Everyone else are numbers :<

[teal sparrow]

I'm on 14th

I had a bad set of games this morning

[leaden basalt]

Im on 26th place
With 12-4 score

[teal sparrow]

13-5 for me

[leaden basalt]

In evening will go into top 16 again

[teal sparrow]

I lost 4 in a row this morning because of dice of cringe with a touch of mmr

[thorny mesa]

You got this takti i believe

[teal sparrow]

Nahh

I only got 1st of days 1+2 cause I was lucky with the sauce

[visual iron]

I Just want 3 wins, harder than expected

[thorny mesa]

Not my deck guide maker

[teal sparrow]

Hold up

You know me for deck guides?

[thorny mesa]

Ik you play too but yeah mostly for the guides

[teal sparrow]

Actually wild. I didn't think I'd be recognised in the wild

[thorny mesa]

I mean tbf i do follow all the ccs in the gitcg discord

[teal sparrow]

[thorny mesa]

Day 1 when i saw you up there i was like wait hold up thats the 60sec guide guy i almost yoinked a deck from for this tourney

(I ended up going with something else but it was a consideration)

[teal sparrow]

I appreciate it

[thorny mesa]

🫂

[teal sparrow]

Idk if I'll get any out this patch because things are weird but imma try

[thorny mesa]

Its all cool

Do as much as youre comfortable with

[thorny mesa]

It was the fatui vape deck btw so your effort this patch has been appriciated so far o7

[teal sparrow]

Oh Agent EC?

[thorny mesa]

No lyney mona agent

[teal sparrow]

That deck got so many nerfs it hurts

Ohhh

[thorny mesa]

Ive had actually way too much success despite it being a relatively fair deck

[teal sparrow]

It's an FTK deck so you either win fast or don't win

[thorny mesa]

Didnt bring it because ive found something a little less fair but yeah i love vapetui

[thorny mesa]

Yeah im very aware of how aggro works

[teal sparrow]

FiNaLy is a lot more unfair

[thorny mesa]

Usually not a big fan of it though so im surprised i like this one this much

[thorny mesa]

Fully aware

[teal sparrow]

Fair but it's hyper aggro imo. Sometimes aggro can go into the mid game but MonaKlee and those can't really I think

[thorny mesa]

Yeah and that makes it extra shocking

[teal sparrow]

Anyways I'm happy you enjoy the deck!

[thorny mesa]

Usually im kind of a control/otk player so ig it kinda scratches that healing + big number itch

[compact raven]

I have a suggestion. Instead of reporting people for giving up in a duel (which saves everyones time) we should be able to report people who take to the very last second of a move to play one single card, again and again and it takes 30min for oen of their turns... and then you face same guy next match... and you cant even give up...

I'd rather lose then play vs such players... i dont play to win, i play to have some fun and not have to watch tiktoks for 20min until they make a move

[thorny mesa]

Yeah if you can provide proof of roping you can report your opponent for it

[compact raven]

how can I provide proof? it doesnt show it on the duel replay or does it?

[thorny mesa]

Yeah just catch it during the match

If you see them rope consistently usually theyre gonna do it a few more times

[compact raven]

they did it for 2 duels...

cause i got them twice in row...

[thorny mesa]

Ouch...

[compact raven]

how do I report anyone though... i dont even know...

[thorny mesa]

But yeah everyone agrees that roping is an issue so if you catch a serial roper you can grab 2 or 3 screenshots and report them

[compact raven]

i can do that i will just rewatch my stream (i did stream on twitch so i can totally find it since it was today even though i dont have prime)

[thorny mesa]

#📨contact-qixing with i believe number 9

[compact raven]

ok thanks!

[thorny mesa]

Everything regarding what is and isnt considered a reportable offense is in #1096770459892191284

In fact almost if not all rules are there so if youve got any issues its recommendes you refer to it

[thorny mesa]

No problem!

[teal sparrow]

That actually reminds me I needa rep Sasakure

I have 2 recorded matches of them roping

[thorny mesa]

Oh damn

[teal sparrow]

They did it during Tuesdays games and again this morning

[thorny mesa]

They beat me so hard yesterday

They did rope once but i didnt expect them to do it consistently

But yeah they ruined my 4-1 day streak

[teal sparrow]

I even asked them nicely not to do it today

But they still did

[thorny mesa]

Oh wow its bad bad huh

[thorny mesa]

Speaking of which im surprised 11-4 was still enough to hold me in top 16

This is my first ctg and so i was expecting to need at least 4-1 every day before i looked back at the old ones

[teal sparrow]

You're doing better than me

[thorny mesa]

Yeah which is why i believe in you

[teal sparrow]

I'm 13-5 rn

[thorny mesa]

Yeah thats fine

If you win the next 2 and i 4-1 were equal

People in early seasons have gotten in with 10 losses which is unlikely now but like thats twice the losses that you have

Its not over until sunday

[teal sparrow]

That's what I'm counting on

[thorny mesa]

Hell yeah!!

If me who has only ever gotten 1 4-1 in the weeklies by virtue of dodging aec can 4-1 consistently here then so can you!!

[teal sparrow]

As long as I do better than last season I'm happy

[thorny mesa]

Thats fair

[teal sparrow]

Ideally I'm aiming for KO rounds but if I don't make those then 2nd prize is a better placement than S5

[thorny mesa]

My aim is KO and then lose because i have 1 deck properly prepped 😭

But yeah if i can get top 20-30 first time around then im treating myself good

[visual iron]

The stress Is real

[thorny mesa]

Real af

[visual iron]

Im still at 5/20 games

Matchmaking hates me

anyone wants to play for fun/training/tests?

[teal sparrow]

I can for a bit

[thorny mesa]

Matchmaking is rough when youre behind yeah

[visual iron]

Losing a lot really punishes you

Im totally new, this Is my First tournament

And i can already feel the pain of Being inexperienced

[leaden basalt]

Nice nice :3

[visual iron]

UID? Can i add you?

[teal sparrow]

709555338 I'll be on in a moment just putting my shopping down

I'm ready when you are

[thorny mesa]

I dont think its about losing as much as it is about total number of games

Once you do the full 20 the 5 tomorrow are gonna take like no time

[crude crater]

he is holding my position for a while such a chill dude

[crude crater]

he is just playing same meta lol

[teal sparrow]

Same meta?

[thorny mesa]

Yeah im pretty sure we know his deck

[teal sparrow]

We do because it was leaked

[crude crater]

i mean i faced him

theres no secret sauce

[thorny mesa]

Yeah 😔

[teal sparrow]

I'm just practiting for next meta trust

[thorny mesa]

But yeah can confirm nothing about the sauce is secret

Hes just playing better than most

[crude crater]

he is playing bait deck

wait for the mmr to kick in for him as well

[wicked echo]

maybe its time to play morning to give 2 losses

[crude crater]

bro

its time for u and kevin to teeorrize the lb

[teal sparrow]

Master Binzu has arrived

[crude crater]

also bring ur AI

[thorny mesa]

Nah i believe in riku hes gonna make it despite the mmr

[crude crater]

kirano

[wicked echo]

9/20 games

[crude crater]

issok im taking slow as well

2 games a day

[teal sparrow]

I'm 18/20

[crude crater]

14

[thorny mesa]

Im dumping all 5 in every day because having to play more than 5 at once can be stressful/tiring especially with longer queues

[cold torrent]

im on 18th

why did u guys kick me off lb

mean

[teal sparrow]

Cause I swapped decks mb

[thorny mesa]

Holy takti with the real secret sauce

[teal sparrow]

Nah I'm just calling it secret sauce to build fake hype

[wicked echo]

im 78th i need to catch up

[thorny mesa]

Fair enough

I am leaving expectations for my deck up to interpretation

[teal sparrow]

So if I'm ranked #14 does that mean I'm 5.5x better than Binzu?

[thorny mesa]

If i was ranked 14 yestersay does that mean im at least 10x better than binzu

[wicked echo]

yes

im bad

[thorny mesa]

Ok its official pack it up everyone its a me and takti sweep copium

[crude crater]

wdym

:yaethunk

[fringe estuary]

1/20

[teal sparrow]

I swapped decks and got enough score for lb

I'm just keeping the seat warm

[visual iron]

Anyone wants to play any games?

[lilac matrix]

I don’t think report people for think move, not everyone can play fast, someone’s need think and calculate if her move can defeat your character or not

Or you when you are playing in prince cup(for exemple) and every time the rival wait to last second to move. You will report it?, of course sometimes when obviously the rival are doing it to waste time, then you have a reason, but we know, people will spam report for players that play slow, even when maybe they later win you (for example, we all know people will always try to find how abuse the rules or report)

[teal sparrow]

^ Slow play and roping are two very different things

[thorny mesa]

yeah and roping is ESPECIALLY bad in something like the prince cup

or any tournament for that matter

[compact raven]

yes but there is thinking and there is when the they see they might be losing and they start waiting to to the very last second to make a move. and this turn after turn. and even when they have like one character with 3 hp left and there I am with 3 of my characters they still wait to the very last second to play a card... that is NOT thinking about your move.

in sich cases Id rather give up and take the loss cause I dont play to win. I just want to enjoy my time. but then again quitting is against the rules. so its just sitting and waiting. and this has happened to me before but it is the first time I was petty enough to make a report because they did do it absolutely on purpose.

it throws me off the game completely when I have to sit and wait. i forget to play all my cards and just want it to be over.

I guess thats why those people do it... if this is how they like to win.. kinda low but to each their own.

[pallid torrent]

That’s messed up… that guy should be banned

[brave ice]

Imo you can only say it's roping when opponent clearly has 0 chance to do anything (like 2 hp character without energy against three characters having 6-7 hp). Or if they slowly burn entire hand one card by one, then it's obvious. In other cases it will probably be just thinking.

[thorny mesa]

yeah ofc its not always roping but when it is its very obvious

[barren acorn]

i've actually made comebacks from those scenarios - 1v3 with obvious hp advantage for opponent. egg op

its more about hand size and dice count instead of hp diff

[brave ice]

If this is 2 hp full equipped Diona with 12 dice and 10 cards then I don't see the problem

[barren acorn]

1 hp flipped signora 1v3

[brave ice]

Not possible

[barren acorn]

egg tm -> fast swap -> gambler

[brave ice]

So magic is real

[barren acorn]

egg magic

[brave ice]

New fear unlocked I guess

[barren acorn]

[thorny mesa]

every time my opponent eggs they just die instantly because no food breakpoints to worry about

[barren acorn]

egg can be terrifying when used properly

[thorny mesa]

well i hope i never face somebody who can use it

[barren acorn]

but sometimes revived character is supposed to die immediately, so that opponent wastes turn and dice to kill an extra character

allowing you to come back

[thorny mesa]

ok yeah but i usually run gambler so im cool with that 😭

[crude crater]

somtimes when u see egg
u just cry

it's so over

and playing around egg

i would never do that

[barren acorn]

sometimes it doesnt matter

that gambler gave you 2 more dice

playing around egg

[thorny mesa]

fair

[eager tendon]

who am I seeing at today’s evening queue

[wicked echo]

[eager tendon]

awh hell nah

ok so skipping todays evening queue then

[leaden basalt]

Is this a reference to my video with such comeback? xD

[brave ice]

Reference to my own experiences of playing dp in matchmaking

[leaden basalt]

Dp in matchmaking? Ah you

XD

[eager tendon]

what’s dp

[brave ice]

Random matchmaking, not tavern

[brave ice]

Diona Barbara Xingqiu deck

[eager tendon]

I think I’ve won with one 2(?) days ago

it was roughhhh

But the power of friendship helped me 🦄

[teal sparrow]

Playing around egg? Sounds like swirlless behaviour

[viscid wadi]

I remember my game NEC game against DP, and i bursted rhodea burst with no summons and i won with seeds on rhodea with 1 hp

Suddenly clam came in clutch

[teal sparrow]

Should I play my last 2 games tonight or 7 tomorrow :Yaethunk:

[pallid torrent]

Do it tomorrow so we can play against each other 😈

[teal sparrow]

I'll be playing tomorrow morning anyways

[eager tendon]

if so maybe I’ll catch you

[thorny mesa]

im always evening gaming

[teal sparrow]

Imma be beat
