What did you say

[cold torrent]

im getting censored again

deadge

[bitter terrace]

Normal nomad behaviour

[oak nexus]

strikes for conceding are given automatically, without reports, they do it using tools

[cold torrent]

deadge

[teal sparrow]

Rip some lb players then

[velvet jungle]

i don't think so, people be doing that with 0 strikes is the proof of that

[cold torrent]

rip me probably

[bitter terrace]

Well good thing I never concede, when I think I'll lose I just end round and let the oppo have kill(only in tavern not in MMR)

[teal sparrow]

^

[bitter terrace]

But a lot of concede against me coz of dp/ls

Lot is too much but 2-3

[velvet jungle]

ig this is the last time me staying in the lb this season

[teal sparrow]

I messed up so badly I forgot to play Fresh Wind

[visual iron]

Enjoy It then xd

This Is the game which you cant missplay damn

Missplays are punished so heavy

[teal sparrow]

Rip Takti in KO rounds

[eager tendon]

it’s so sad to see your opponent getting all the buffs and one shotting you with that 12 Nahida burst on your 1 hp character 😞😞😞

[visual iron]

Nahida burst damage

Jean in game: burst damage
TCG: no damage
nahida: no burst damage
TCG: damage

[teal sparrow]

25-10 def not enough for lb this season

[visual iron]

Yeah.

Imagine not join lb with a 71.43% wr

[teal sparrow]

What's your score rn?

[visual iron]

Me? Nah im out of here, with 8-17

[mild birch]

The bell in game: useless
TCG: goated weapon

[visual iron]

I was talking about your winrate

[eager tendon]

it’s getting better each season, trust me. my first one I ended up with like 25 loses

[visual iron]

Still 10 matches to play, i can get 27 losses

[eager tendon]

keqing in game: “mid”
keqing in TCG:

[eager tendon]

[teal sparrow]

Say that again to my Keqing getting me my first 36 star

[visual iron]

Me: copying a random deck from YouTube
Loses 10 games in a row
Also me: play an old deck with 3.5 characters
Wins (probably thanks to matchmaking)

Yesterday i got matched against a dude with Gold cardback

And won with 1hp

[teal sparrow]

A lot of YT is clickbait trash

[teal sparrow]

Ayo who was it?

[brave ice]

Meh, it's over

[visual iron]

Fufu (?)

[teal sparrow]

What happened Silky?

[mild birch]

yeah fufu

[brave ice]

Always unlucky near the end XD

[visual iron]

Gold cardback = ?

[brave ice]

MEW highrolled me two times

I swear, next ctg I'm running joyous

[mild birch]

tbf you were running combo

mew eats up combo for breakfast

[brave ice]

No but it doesn't matter

[teal sparrow]

What's the Silky score then?

[mild birch]

memew meowmeow~

[brave ice]

Tfd+instructor r1 mew eats everything

No way to escape

[teal sparrow]

It's true

[brave ice]

22-8

[teal sparrow]

Still better than me

[visual iron]

Im Surprised in Asia nobodu got 30-0

[teal sparrow]

I'm 20-10 rn

[visual iron]

They are human

They can Bleed

[cold torrent]

lyney higroll R2 deals 32 damage

so yes u can still eat them

[teal sparrow]

You still have a chance Silky I'm rooting for you!

[mild birch]

yeah siilky can still make it

just get 5-0 tomorrow

[brave ice]

I'll ask Glasse to teach me then

[cold torrent]

she doesn't play this deck

[pulsar flare]

just play double anemo

[visual iron]

So between us chatting, who's gonna make It?

[mild birch]

how does thsi work? no dehya e?

[brave ice]

Funny, I played 2nemo XD

And still lost

[cold torrent]

where dehya in finaly?

[pulsar flare]

how did u lose ?

[mild birch]

im dumb

[cold torrent]

u can watch my vod on YouTube

[mild birch]

i read it as lynette

[cold torrent]

i have uploaded

[mild birch]

my bad

[brave ice]

No quick swaps and they got all equipment r1, had like 13 dice r2

[cold torrent]

just now i casually did 27 damage R2

pe

oppo was yelan otk free win

[pulsar flare]

u should go jean route against mew

dont let wanda do anything

[brave ice]

Oh, i wasn't playing this 2nemo-

[cold torrent]

but if they pull crazy shinengans like HS calx fwof

than rip

[pulsar flare]

oh

dont tell me shenhe double anemo

[brave ice]

Shenhe Xiao Wanderer, I couldn't push them out

[cold torrent]

deadge

why play that deck

ayawah

[pulsar flare]

yeah that deck will get cooked

[teal sparrow]

Because it's actually good rn

[brave ice]

I think I have 6/7 winrate with this deck in this ctg

[teal sparrow]

I went 9-1 with it in this CTg

[pulsar flare]

depends heavily on fast swaps

[teal sparrow]

It eats yelan OTK and FiNaLy and has a good matchup into MEW. You just have to dodge DP and 2nemo

[cold torrent]

mew i doubt

[brave ice]

I did well against dehya 2nemo with it

[cold torrent]

i can agree yelan and finaly

[brave ice]

You have more dmg

But not against mew

[cold torrent]

bro don't leak sauce

[mild birch]

TRUE

[cold torrent]

just kidding

[pulsar flare]

people are too fixed on lyney i think

[cold torrent]

let's bait people into playing it

[mild birch]

[pulsar flare]

no harm in trying

[cold torrent]

mew mirrors is anyoing

[brave ice]

People are too fixed on not having send off

[cold torrent]

i don't like that Matchup

[pulsar flare]

aec and shenhe sc were the only decks which get cooked by send off

[teal sparrow]

I have a pos winrate with the deck into MEW matchups. I would say it gets iffy with MEW when you start playing masters of the deck but it's not unwinnable. Moonpiercer is actually sauce in the deck

[pulsar flare]

so with them being nerfed

[pulsar flare]

u mean master highrollers

[cold torrent]

i remember cooking mew with shenhe sc
by moon Peirce double cryo res shenhe E

previous tavern

even lotus didn't save

[teal sparrow]

Also Send Off not being a meta call rn means you can play riskier with Shen burst

[cold torrent]

i tuned my entire hand for it

[fading crest]

Send off against rxn is also very good

[pulsar flare]

rxn who plays that now

[cold torrent]

rxn

zenin and his believers

[fading crest]

Aha i have seen like 3 rxn in tavern

[pulsar flare]

3 free win for u madge

i didnt see a single one

[teal sparrow]

I Q'd 2 games of RXN today

[fading crest]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1072075083025223770/1195036592423829654/1073515772762132591.gif?ex=65b2878e&is=65a0128e&hm=5fe4e0eb4569382c7b2baff373ea7a52f80299a6f889ad1d7638bb4ec9d90ed0&

[teal sparrow]

I woulda won both but I was pepega and misplayed

[brave ice]

Me

[pulsar flare]

[eager tendon]

that’s why I put “..” I love her, but others don’t. my first main and hopefully I can get her skin someday since so wasn’t playing back then

[brave ice]

RXN is actually great deck, but freeze just cook you

[eager tendon]

[brave ice]

I mean freeze destroys most of the decks anyway XD

[eager tendon]

I knew once any cryo catalyst is released xingqiu (and later Yelan) would be defo paired with them, instant freeze

as long as it’s not any element applied already lol

[cold torrent]

which freez

mew ?

[teal sparrow]

Yelan OTK

[cold torrent]

hmm

it also gets cooked by stall

[brave ice]

Both mew and magic freeze

[teal sparrow]

You can't kill yelan fast enough to shut the deck down

[fading crest]

Why

[cold torrent]

there really isn't any goood Matchup for rxn

[brave ice]

Lyney magic, normal magic (not freeze magic), all cube decks, dehya 2nemo it depends

Most combo too

[fading crest]

Not getting additional dice on r1 like nsc is kinda over for 3 energy char

[cold torrent]

lenyey magic
only fake players loose to rxn smh

cube decks aren't real

2nemo i doubt

[fading crest]

But yelan otk has different lines beside rush yelan burst ig

[cold torrent]

but that's just coping

yelan otk is mid deck

[velvet jungle]

🙂

[brave ice]

At least you don't need amazing highroll to win-

Just don't lowroll too much

[cold torrent]

without magic

it does nothing interesting

imo

[brave ice]

And don't face freeze I guess

[cold torrent]

u only play with 2 chars

if u don't go rush yelan

[mild birch]

i have to agree

yelan otk is bad deck for ctg

[visual iron]

Pro Windowed mobile gaming mode

[cold torrent]

carried by magic

imagine a combo devk without wovens

when u can't do that magic

it just looks dumb

[cold torrent]

charge ur battery

👍

combo will never be a teir 1

[thorny mesa]

i see undefeatable

[cold torrent]

it's purpose is to snipe matchups

it's a niche not a generalised deck u shouldn't run if u want consistency

ok my ted talk ends here 👍

[visual iron]

Just won a game in gym

But my battery Is 16%

F

[bitter terrace]

I abused rxn in AS, my loses are mostly on finaly

[misty island]

20-10 seems like this is joever

[crude crater]

u just

gotta do 5-0 early in the morning

doable trust

[misty island]

i think there be 7-8 loses to qualify

[teal sparrow]

I'm 20-10 too and I think it's joever

The lb this patch is so tight

[visual iron]

210 score?

[crude crater]

i doubt it

my prediction is 9

but 10 is not dilusional who knows

meta has only gone more wild than previous patch

so it's safe to assume that way

[teal sparrow]

Yeah

[visual iron]

Any player wants to play?

[velvet jungle]

yes, still waiting for sth else so gotta kill some time till then

no answer... back to ml

[teal sparrow]

Goodluck evening queuers

[eager tendon]

thanks.. 10 games today

[teal sparrow]

You got this!

[frosty coral]

Queueing into Sherry, love to see it

I do hope they make their stance on cross-server clear

[brave ice]

Sherry Berry sniped me too earlier

Good luck ://

[wispy rivet]

terrible start today. 1-2

[hollow turtle]

1-2 start too

[leaden basalt]

Dont want to play today :<

Will play tomorrow

13 games

[eager tendon]

dayum the first golden dragonspine card haver of the day

[brave ice]

Who sniped you?

[eager tendon]

someone named FuFfu

[brave ice]

FuFfu doesn't really play much these days I think

You have a chance

[velvet jungle]

pls, where can i search my match histories in discord, i need it

[eager tendon]

let's be realistic I have only 14 games won and this is my 26th game...

[eager tendon]

#preliminary-queue > threads

[echo fossil]

15-15, rnjesus forbids me from winning recently

also lyre bros are so annoying

hope this card will get nerfed so hard it'll become unplayable

[wispy rivet]

went from 5 losses until today to 8 losses just now

too many tm abusers

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/864186117876219915/1176512916401438740/1085079711870369843.gif?ex=656f2409&is=655caf09&hm=6cbe4b2c582ad69ff33e3cf3e2382e713b5f082c2db04721ceef2061367aba7a&

[velvet jungle]

thank you, i kept seeing familiar names in game

but would forget the moment i close the game lol

[brave ice]

We can hope together

[eager tendon]

can I join in to this hoping circle

[viscid wadi]

i don't want to play seriously in queue

[viscid wadi]

i hate the game

[echo fossil]

🤝

[viscid wadi]

literally have 2 gilded in 4 cards playing yelan OTK

[brave ice]

4 last cards of the deck?

[viscid wadi]

yep

[echo fossil]

i was playing rnx and couldn't get my hand on gamblers 3 games in a row

[teal sparrow]

Skill issue shoulda drawn more cards

[echo fossil]

despite having decent amount of card draw

still managed to win one

[viscid wadi]

all 30

[echo fossil]

and then there was a game

[viscid wadi]

yeah

[brave ice]

That's why entire magic engine should be destroyed, it's so much highrolly. You either clearly won or clearly lose... Nonsense.

[teal sparrow]

Dw I get it. I've had it happen to me in mtg with a 60 card deck and 4 copies of a card

[echo fossil]

agaist overburn lyney where i didn't get a single liu su, albedo, gambler's, or just food so i can set up at least something

some games u are just bound to lose

[crystal moon]

Bro cross server was never considered

Only multi region was discouraged

[brave ice]

But looks like still nothing changed...

[crystal moon]

There is some impact

Many people I know including me didn’t do it

[brave ice]

I actually also met less alt-looking accounts than last time

And Sherry probably play just eu

[valid lagoon]

Yeah, me too. I met very little low AR accounts.

It definitely had an impact

[eager tendon]

another golden card haver pls kill me already

[velvet jungle]

just play for fun, for us the tourney is over already

like an actual good player in arena champs is a rare sight to see

[eager tendon]

the thing is I really want to progress and theres no space for progress if I play with that good players that will win defo

[brave ice]

You need to play normal matchmaking (and win there) to actually start meeting good players randomly

In arena you'll (almost) never meet them

[velvet jungle]

wait, i thought arena also was wr based

[eager tendon]

it is???

[brave ice]

Arena has no hidden ranking, it's just it matches you with even weaker opponents when you lose there

[velvet jungle]

then sh3t, i have 1 or 2 matches rn so its gonna be a long road

[brave ice]

But normal matchmaking has permament hidden ranking

[valid lagoon]

You forgot to mention the waiting times once they reach high matchmaking rating...

[brave ice]

That's why high mmr players also play arena sometimes 🥹🥹

[crystal moon]

That’s an eu problem

[brave ice]

I think na is similar

[crystal moon]

Yeah except asia

Where we get decent players consistently in rmm and sometimes top players

[brave ice]

And even in as Ark sometimes waits like 3 minutes before matches on streams or matches same person 3 times in a row

But it's definitely better than in other servers

[crystal moon]

Yeah that happens

[brave ice]

After my experience of matchmaking in as, there is other problem there

You almost never can finish the game if you are winning

Everyone just concede

[leaden basalt]

So thats why last time I found an op on coop was week ago? And I always waiting for 10 mins???

[frosty coral]

Don't worry, I'm washed

[leaden basalt]

:v

[eager tendon]

pffft

[leaden basalt]

There should be normal leaderboards

[brave ice]

Tbh I'm rather happy that there is not

[leaden basalt]

[brave ice]

It's good to play for fun and not think about winning all the time

[eager tendon]

I would love to see the leadboard of best players playing aoc

they could give 1 primo for each won game if they want to be generous

[leaden basalt]

....well in that case I'll gain 1wish per day xD

[eager tendon]

and then they would put a limit to 159 games

per day

[leaden basalt]

Ah

You're hurting my heart

[brave ice]

Do you have unlimited time for playing? 😅

[crystal moon]

Saves time whats wrong in conceding

[eager tendon]

and when you want to do big dmg you need to be faster than light to get that adeptus lol

[brave ice]

I mean, if you know it's over after you lost key character but game would still take a few moves, it's all okay. But if they just concede after they make move and you need to click just one button to win, it's not saving time. It's just rude.

[velvet jungle]

so what, you kill off 1 person they concede,they see guilded play they concede, i think for a bit longer,they just quit,
just what's the point of it then?

[crystal moon]

What’s the point of what

[crystal moon]

Yeah sometimes they don’t let u perform finishing move

[velvet jungle]

playing 3 games of ramp r1 to not do anything

[crystal moon]

Bro what does this have to do with what I said

[leaden basalt]

No but I'll find it xD

[eager tendon]

todays games has been stressful

2.5h for 10 games

[grizzled yoke]

crying i was gonna win and then suddenly I have such shit rolls plus am out of cards to tune so i couldnt do anything for almost a whole round and lost </3

[tough dock]

Nahh my luck is not with me today, how am i bricking nearly every other game, just had to scrape a win against Shin with 0 useable dice r1

[wispy rivet]

:huh: that's actually really fast

[grizzled yoke]

matched w the same person again and won this time

[crude crater]

man

looks doomed

idk what will happen tomorrow

[eager tendon]

a week ago I played 30mins long game

that was rough

I won btw

[leaden basalt]

Dude does not confirm result
:/

[teal sparrow]

Rip

[leaden basalt]

Oh come on, thats not the first time

[weary spoke]

Hey everyone
I have two questions if anyone knows

When do the preliminary rounds end? And what is the max match quota?

[grizzled yoke]

for now it is 30, tomorrow the last 5 get added and it ends the 15th

hey we got matched hello

[weary spoke]

Oof I gotta do a lot of matches tomorrow

Ahah yes

Glhf

Thank for answering too :)

[leaden basalt]

Ugh

I dont want to report this guy but if he doesnt confirm it I should do tjis

[fringe estuary]

ping him again in the room

[leaden basalt]

Incident solved

So no matter now

[grizzled yoke]

won 10/30 of my matches in total so not THAT bad I was honestly expecting to do worse bc I genuinely dont know shit ab meta or how to properly play

[weary spoke]

Tomorrow gonna be a Grindy day

I have 21 matches left ._.

That's 5h of tcg

[wispy rivet]

dang that's a lot

you probably have to play in the morning timeslot as well to make it all fit

[weary spoke]

I usually get up late the weekend

Gonna play in the morning and choke twice as much

I've lost at least 3 matches on big chokes

Why it gotta be 8-12 tho

10-14 at least

[teal sparrow]

I can go 5-0 today and squeeze into lb

[wicked echo]

[teal sparrow]

Yes Binzu?

[wicked echo]

time to snipe

[teal sparrow]

Please do

Would be good experience even if I don't win :kleesis:

[crude crater]

i need to not 2-4 today

[teal sparrow]

Going 3-2 yesterday instead of 4-1 cost me so much

[brave ice]

Not only you

[teal sparrow]

What was your score yesterday Silky?

[brave ice]

3-2

[teal sparrow]

Also I have no idea what I wanna play today

[brave ice]

Definitely too much 3-2 from my side this tavern

[teal sparrow]

You can do it Silky!

I'm in 22nd rn so 5-0 is my only hope

[wicked echo]

me 20

[brave ice]

You didn't play all 30 games

[teal sparrow]

What's your score Binzu?

[wicked echo]

21-5

[teal sparrow]

30-5 Binzu trust

[brave ice]

Binzu got it, no other way tbh

[teal sparrow]

Just play DP and watch people suffer surely

[crude crater]

my only regret is not using calx against binzu

even than he had big dice so i doubt it was winnable

[teal sparrow]

My only regret is making pepega plays

[crude crater]

i think i had 2 misplays overall

3 games were just not winnable either bad matchup or bad dice

1 game i pepega tiemus

[teal sparrow]

One of mine was a free win for you

[crude crater]

yeah

[teal sparrow]

I think it was the right call to open up Monday+Tuesday with it to farm but I should've switched off earlier

[teal sparrow]

Goodluck to everyone today!

[viscid wadi]

I suffer from mew highrolls

On dp

[teal sparrow]

Rip lb Takti

I got sniped by an AR 32 CN player

[wicked echo]

oh noo

[teal sparrow]

I got vesta now

0-2 rip

[cold torrent]

queue so long even at the last day

maybe skilled matchmaking is looking for top players to screw me over

[cold torrent]

and i i switch to other app i won't get notification of ping

[pulsar flare]

dont worry u will screw them over instead

[cold torrent]

i got 2-4-8 lmao

[teal sparrow]

There's no way I've died to Nahida Adeptus burst 3 times in a row

[teal sparrow]

Guess where both Gilded are

22-13 def isn't enough for staying on lb

[pulsar flare]

[teal sparrow]

I got RNG shafted today i had no chance

Last game was 3 rounds in a row of 0 usable

[velvet jungle]

:(,come on, went 4_1 in last day to only get 12th spot

top 30 it is

if only i played a single match before tourney with mew

[teal sparrow]

At least you're on lb rn. You might make it through

[velvet jungle]

so that i wouldn't buy 3 cost weopons in r2 2times in a row, costed me the game

[velvet jungle]

lol no

you see the 28 matches down there right?

[teal sparrow]

Yes and?

Others might do worse and you sit in 16th

[velvet jungle]

god knows how many are out there who has 10 matches left

[teal sparrow]

Well there is still a chance even if just a tiny one

[cold torrent]

3-0 so far hmmge

[velvet jungle]

at least gotta celebrate geting one of riku's loses lol

[cold torrent]

2 people are already finished

so ill be lower than them

[teal sparrow]

29-6 seems to be the best score

[velvet jungle]

1 down already

[cold torrent]

ill probably loose one

so 28-7

surely it' enough

and when i thought i finally got a easy opponent

he had to go and canceled

smh

i can't see names

is happy in top 3 ?

[hollow turtle]

3rd

[lime thicket]

15-11

It's Catover

[cold torrent]

[brave ice]

26-9 final score, omg

I hope it will be enough...

[thorny mesa]

noo

[frosty coral]

That's really good, should be enough for lb

[brave ice]

I finished early, so this should be in my favour too... Well, now I can only wait. Good luck for all still playing their matches

[teal sparrow]

I got RNG denied

Congrats Silky!

[brave ice]

Thank youu... I got quite lucky rng this time, pretty good matchups, most important no mew

[teal sparrow]

I went 2-3 with MEW today

[brave ice]

I was thinking about taking deck with joyous arcane if I met you, had strange feeling that you play mew

[teal sparrow]

Only today

I didn't have hope for lb today so I decided to play the deck to get practice on it just incase I do somehow make it to KO

[velvet jungle]

ye I'm def gonna stay on lb

let's see what cancer becomes meta next season's tourney

[severe barn]

I've been scared to play my prelims. But my confidence from a high win rate is going to be shattered by cold hard reality today

[visual iron]

never got why it is a strong deck

[teal sparrow]

Because freeze go brr

[teal sparrow]

I only see numbers

[cold torrent]

4-2

im above happy as expected bcz of his strike even tough i played my games after

[eager tendon]

good morning how y’all’s game went

[teal sparrow]

Don't ask

[eager tendon]

[teal sparrow]

[eager tendon]

[teal sparrow]

I ended at 17th and I think I'm 19th now

[tepid bison]

[eager tendon]

[brave ice]

Thank you

Lucky day

[tepid bison]

No 3 cults are fkne

AAA leoric and silky

[eager tendon]

My first day was like that ohh to it happen again today

[brave ice]

[tepid bison]

🫂

[eager tendon]

tcg fandom seems to be one of the less toxic ones, to me at least

[tepid bison]

True

[brave ice]

Yeah, tcg players are all wholesome in most cases

[eager tendon]

I literally could be beaten up like never in tcg and after that they’re giving me advices

[teal sparrow]

I've met some toxic Bois for tcg

[tepid bison]

Most toxicity if not all is basically ppl in random mm doing stuff

[eager tendon]

…and then I queue up again and I win

[tepid bison]

Wow

[teal sparrow]

I've met a few toxic people in CTG this season

[eager tendon]

there was some rude rats on this specific chat but the others didn’t seem to be bothered too much so no drama in here

[visual iron]

card games player arent toxic mostly

[tepid bison]

Oh interesting

[eager tendon]

but when it comes to UNO….

[tepid bison]

I don't have much experience in ctg so can't say much therr

Uno

Just play unk game irl family is broken friends are no more

[eager tendon]

Im playing since summer I think but only since last season I started to chat here more

[eager tendon]

Well, I was 2-3 yesterday so

Just happens sometimes

[mild birch]

I always open with glhf and haven’t met rude ppl yet

[visual iron]

how dare you having fun?

[eager tendon]

there was someone calling people liars and stinky sooooo….

[mild birch]

Dang

[mild birch]

I did not in fact have fun this ctg

The new patch us annoying

If i have to be frank

[visual iron]

fair

[eager tendon]

remember BIN being meta?

[crude crater]

the most rude thing i said

was

nice higroll keep it up

[eager tendon]

also I had like 2 or 3 games with it yesterday lol

[mild birch]

Bin is okay because it was predictable and it had counter decks

[eager tendon]

but yet so annoying

you got your burst ready like never just to see 0dmg and 5 remaining shields on

[visual iron]

trash bin meta?

[crude crater]

the good decks are the ones which make ur opponents uncomfortable or annoyed
so as there thinking ability limits

[latent umbra]

bin and stall is actually fun to play not this bullshit highrolly aggro meta 🏃

[crude crater]

[mild birch]

Yep

The meta is bullshit

[crude crater]

i like mid range the best

[mild birch]

Apt descriptor

[crude crater]

neither aggro nor pure stall

like mmec

[mild birch]

Btw everyone should play magic mnec

Not highrolly at all

And plays neat

[eager tendon]

stall is fun to play if YOU play it. but I get what u mean

[latent umbra]

true

therefore play stall :nod:

[crude crater]

now that im done with ctg

ill try it more

[latent umbra]

seeing my opponent ragequit after i cleansed their oz for 4 times in one game is fun

[crude crater]

[visual iron]

you monster, now do it again

[mild birch]

Highlight of today was beating Mistake with my mnec

[eager tendon]

I’ve had that one Diona stall deck with her being fully shielded AND dojng dmg

[latent umbra]

barb skill swap kok swap barb totm pass 👍

[bitter terrace]

you should learn to play the game instead for ducking high rolling, brain dead gameplay, you have no skill ggwp

What I want to say vs what I say after I get highrolled

[latent umbra]

yeah, diona stronk

[eager tendon]

when I first saw ‘wp’ shortcut I thought it’s misspelled ‘wip’ and they’re making fun of me that I’m still a beginner or smth

[mild birch]

whas wip

[eager tendon]

maybe they’re right tho but I don’t want to believe that

[eager tendon]

work in progress

[mild birch]

Never heard that as an insult before

[bitter terrace]

[visual iron]

im 28/35 games, and i'll win 210 primos, i see this as a win

[crude crater]

🦥

wait we have sloth here

[visual iron]

flex your primos

[crude crater]

time to spam to boost inzhagi's luck

[mild birch]

[visual iron]

imagine winning 35-0 and "only" winning a multipull OOF

[crude crater]

🦥🦥

[visual iron]

btw when you lose a lot, it's more fun to play, different decks at least

even if i lose, im not mad

[still arrow]

x)

Not here the primo yeah x)

[weary spoke]

If you win 35-0 you have high chances of getting 1000$ tho xd

[visual iron]

is the matchmaking 1st v 16th, 2nd vs 15th, etc.?

[bitter terrace]

Yup

[cold torrent]

yes

[weary spoke]

Unless you really lucked out in matchmaking phase

[visual iron]

misterbist pls

[cold torrent]

bro gib money

[weary spoke]

Not sure I understand but ppl said yes

But all the peeps in top 16 are good at the game anyway
Unless you didn't get matched with any top player and rolled over the matchmaking phase, if you 35-0 you have high hopes of winning or at least aim for the top prizes

[velvet jungle]

speaking of variety, lost to a doublep keqing with 2 tenacities on r2, he changed the deck's whole structure

[weary spoke]

I know I lost a few matches because of huge chokes

[still arrow]

x)

No match found in 10min... ;-;

[mild birch]

Europe moment

[still arrow]

Yeah

[leaden basalt]

Ehh, 20 10

[still arrow]

EU moment

[weary spoke]

I still have 13 matches to do

Gonna be a long evening

[valid lagoon]

Does anyone know who is ayokonakoji? and who is 9th?

[maiden harness]

sherlock.sherry

9th

[frosty coral]

ayokonakoji seems to be an Asia player. He's good, he beat me earlier.

[valid lagoon]

I see. Thx!

[maiden harness]

Asia player💀💀💀

what is he doing on the European server

[frosty coral]

If you have the time to play all games, multi-server is the best choice

[maiden harness]

they don't give others the opportunity to win on their servers

[frosty coral]

They're not enforcing any rules against it, so it's another free chance at qualifying/the prize pool

[maiden harness]

the problem is that it is not prohibited by the rules

[frosty coral]

Yeah I don't agree with it. It's not ethical, but it's not against the rules either.

[tepid bison]

Most rudest thing i sad was "haha"

After winning

[cunning finch]

I'm more afraid of being rude. Yesterday did a stupid egg into an EC summon

Was panicking to apologize cuz it sort of could look like BM

[tepid bison]

[cunning finch]

This season Im lucky Tho. I've played across many ctg so far and I've got way too many BM that stopped me from doing like more than 20 games

[brave ice]

Sherry with the sams score as me is big surprise for me, like he is so good

[cunning finch]

Everyone nice this time

[visual iron]

I hate long games

[tepid bison]

Same

For people who say stall is fun to play

You are incorrect

[still arrow]

ssshh don't tell anyone

[cunning finch]

50 mins game I got yesterday probably qualified

[tepid bison]

But you do you

[visual iron]

worth it

[visual iron]

fatui reso cringed

[cunning finch]

I play to practice. I hate playing against stall but uh I played against great player

[still arrow]

Yeah that was a bit yikes

[cunning finch]

So he's forgiven for death penaltying me

[latent umbra]

sherry is cn player too

from cn server

[maiden harness]

I know

[brave ice]

Koji is top asia player right?

[latent umbra]

is riku from eu?

[maiden harness]

yes

[latent umbra]

ayokonakoji is asian but not koji

koji is jp player yes

[maiden harness]

he is from Kazakhstan

[latent umbra]

ah i see

also liliba is on it again

[brave ice]

Oh, so it's not this koji, I see

[weary spoke]

If anything
Profile picture checks out

[latent umbra]

where is kevinz

in lb

[brave ice]

He isn't, but will be after evening, 100%

[latent umbra]

hes watching asia invitational

pe

[latent umbra]

yeah :gldge:

[brave ice]

Also, who is hattie? It's also a good player?

[velvet jungle]

looks like 25 wins IS enough

[brave ice]

Looks like definitely not, we still have evening queue

[valid lagoon]

I don't think so, I think 9 wins will be limit

[velvet jungle]

i thought most playeres played in morning to get higher in rankings

[cunning finch]

So many ppl still playing evening and I played a lot of great ones not on LB

Surely they are trying to squeeze in

[tepid bison]

Diona penalty*

[cunning finch]

[tepid bison]

[cunning finch]

50 mins for 10 rounds. Imagine if it went to 14

Anyone who DP on last day is evil tho

That one was last 30 mins yesterday so twas only semi evil

[wicked echo]

[frosty coral]

@cunning finch what score did you end on btw?

[cunning finch]

Uh lemme check

23-5

Idk how I felt about some of my wins and losses. Won games I didn't deserve to win, and actually lost one to a dawn winery gamer

[frosty coral]

Oh you haven't finished your matches then. You have a good chance at qualifying

[cunning finch]

I came actually for practice cuz I'm out of shape. Didn't expect to go that far

[still arrow]

Uhm

[weary spoke]

You never will be able to do it though

Even for me it's barely possible

[still arrow]

Da x)

[weary spoke]

Especially with the long a.. matchmaking and people playing stall decks

[still arrow]

So i test cope deck lmao

Lyney Kujou Chicken trust

[still arrow]

EU ?

[weary spoke]

xd
Well anything can work in the hand of someone very skilled tbh

Yes

[still arrow]

Ah yeah

EU moment

I know that

[weary spoke]

Altho tbh if I don't win all my remaining matches I have very few chances making it to the next phase

[mild birch]

i remember being roped by this guy who played stall

im like hello?

youre the one who played stall and lost you dont get to complain

[still arrow]

[crude crater]

ik

he's my friend

[fringe estuary]

surely its not Kirano right ?

[median mauve]

It’s my goon

My goon is better than me

[fringe estuary]

[brave ice]

Kirano is onarik

[bitter terrace]

He is still to show up there

[fringe estuary]

hmm

[brave ice]

He's 14 now

[bitter terrace]

[fringe estuary]

Kirano gatekeeping EU again

[eager tendon]

goodluck to everyone playing these last games now

[still arrow]

no u

[eager tendon]

[leaden basalt]

[visual iron]

Oof

Is this our last dance?

[eager tendon]

yeah today is the last day

[visual iron]

Well, im already out but i'll take someone down with me

[weary spoke]

Playing so hasty against the quota I lose all my games t.t

[teal sparrow]

Imma end up being 33rd again like last season

[velvet jungle]

u went 9 1 first days so i hoped to never run into u or the people u were chatting with

[echo fossil]

19-16, rip 20 wins

[velvet jungle]

and i think i met all of them exept u lol

[teal sparrow]

Dw I'm a bad player

You'd probably beat me

[velvet jungle]

a mew mirror

[teal sparrow]

Wdym MEW mirror?

[velvet jungle]

wait so ur sauce wasn't mew all along?

[visual iron]

How's the cooking goin?

[teal sparrow]

Nope

[still arrow]

Aaaaaaaaah
I've seriously lost against a Barbabruh Jean Baizhu

Jean E 5dmg with Claimed, my Lyney

[eager tendon]

ended up with 17-13.. could be worse right...

[valid lagoon]

Thats only 30 games though, 35 is the limit

[eager tendon]

hold on, 13-18

I counted wrong

oh then its bad

I had a seconf of happiness

[thorny mesa]

you still have 4 games

you can make it a 17-18

[valid lagoon]

Probably meant it was 18 instead of 13

So 17-18?

[leaden basalt]

And wont play my last 5 games

I wont

[eager tendon]

no hold on my brain isn’t braining

[leaden basalt]

20-10 score

[eager tendon]

I won 17

lost 18

[thorny mesa]

okay yeah then thats not awful

[eager tendon]

we can say that

[thorny mesa]

i got 18-17 and im vibing

was i doing better initially? yeah but who cares

[valid lagoon]

I mean, when i joined ctg for the first time, it was kinda intimidating

[thorny mesa]

just not really my meta and thats okay

[weary spoke]

It's a draw meta

But when you have poopoo luck all your cards are in the bottom 5-10 xd

[thorny mesa]

yeah exactly

i was on the lb for 3 days and then bad luck just hit me for one day and suddenly staying in got a lot harder

[velvet jungle]

and here i thought 25 would be enough🗿

[weary spoke]

I'm losing all my matches tonight

[wispy rivet]

it seems like the cut-off will be 8 losses for EU :ayawah:

[weary spoke]

The worst strat is procrastination :D

[brave ice]

Surely I'll somehow get 16th place, surely

[wispy rivet]

maybe the players above you will get DQd due to strikes, who knows

[brave ice]

Strikes

[wispy rivet]

still tho, you have maintained your lb presence for a long time, that's good

[brave ice]

Well, I said before that I will be one win off

My luck never fails smh

[wispy rivet]

there are still kevinz, binzu etc. without 35 exp so i'm afraid to queue rn :ayawah:

[wispy rivet]

:worrypat:

[brave ice]

BIN to leaderboard from the shadow?

[viscid wadi]

i want to retire

i did so many throws

and i dom't like any deck i am playing

[brave ice]

You have majors before you, stay strong... This meta isn't fair, it happens

[wicked echo]

[wispy rivet]

impossible now. was 9 losses and just got to 10

[wispy rivet]

:ayawah: ( )

i hope i don't lose anymore. 25-10 would be such a clean record

^ coper

oh i just noticed that i met the current 1st place ayakonakoji during the previous CTG

we had gone 1-1

[pulsar flare]

if only i didnt lose to u

[supple tapir]

[leaden basalt]

[wicked echo]

[deep sandal]

I don't agree with the term "unfair", since everybody has the same opportunities. Something like "luck plays a higher factor than usual" seems more right

[leaden basalt]

The most correct description of this patch

[pulsar flare]

thats unfair tho

[deep sandal]

No

You could highroll just like the opponent can

So "unfair" doesn't fit

[pulsar flare]

not literally unfair

[deep sandal]

Ye

Thats my point

Its just that luck has more influence now than before

[brave ice]

Yeah, it was quite a simplification. Still everyone gets it, I think. Luck just seems to be more and more important factor and I'm not sure if I like it. Gilded meta for sure is "funny", but I don't think it's good

[deep sandal]

Thats where I totally agree with you :kleesis:

[cunning finch]

[alpine ravine]

[brave ice]

Well, it's not like I can blame anyone. I've chosen to not play magic engine, thanks to this I haven't lost almost any games due to own lowroll, but I couldn't do anything if magic opponent highrolled

It's just how it works these days

[brave ice]

I remember game with you

[alpine ravine]

[weary spoke]

Ggwp everyone

[deep sandal]

How do you bypass nitro requirements? Teach me the adeptal art

[brave ice]

It's a secret gift from @exotic furnace

[deep sandal]

I can keep secrets dw

[brave ice]

It's basically kleesis emote in png, you can download it and insert everywhere

[crystal moon]

Well other decks can lowroll too right

[deep sandal]

Ohhh

Thank you

[cunning finch]

the thing you do to have a kleesis

[brave ice]

Yeah, it's just there is not that big difference in deck performance between lowroll and highroll without magic engine (in my opinion)

Every deck can completely cringe on dice, sure, it's no escape then

[visual iron]

I got triple killed by thunder + yelan ult ;-;

Infinite dices go brr

[teal sparrow]

Magic cringes on dice then goes "It's Gilding time" and proceeds to gild all over the place

[visual iron]

Yea

[brave ice]

And then you realised your both gilded is among those 5 cards that you haven't drawn yet

[visual iron]

The problem imo isnt dice

Is the draw engines

You draw too much

Remove the draw = fair

[teal sparrow]

Today was just pain. I played games today in co op and they were all bad

I actually did worse this season than last

[brave ice]

I think Hoyo might not expected how well the synergy between Yayoi, free artifacts and draw effects from everything alive would be abused used

Or maybe that was the plan XD

[teal sparrow]

I personally think they don't have a play test team

They just make stuff and see how players abuse it then nerf

[brave ice]

It's just sometimes it's really hard to evalute before release, yeah. While reading card effects after 4.3 livestream, it didn't look that abusive at all for me

Especially boar princess

Now it's just better covenant/woven and you can have two copies

[teal sparrow]

Exactly

If they had a small group of people to play test this probably wouldn't have happened

[thorny mesa]

yeah idk how to feel about them slapping on the text draw a card on everything nowadays

[teal sparrow]

Gilded is the pot of greed meme come true

[deep sandal]

Takti whats your ranking?

[thorny mesa]

i was literally memeing that theyre gonna add draw to timaeus and wagner and boom like 2 days later we get the patch and everything draws

[teal sparrow]

A number dw about it

[brave ice]

I had very funny game with Sherry where they draw 27 cards till the end of r3

[visual iron]

Drawing a card is Always Op in every game

Why people should play kokomi event card

[brave ice]

What could I even do

[deep sandal]

Guys why tf is t16 floor in na so low

[thorny mesa]

yeah they do have a playtest team its called the closed beta test its just that nobody that knows how to play genius invokation is in it

[deep sandal]

I would've made top 16 in na

[thorny mesa]

EU > NA clearly /j

[brave ice]

They still have one more 4 hours window though

[deep sandal]

Ohh

[teal sparrow]

@deep sandal rn 37... Literally worse than last season

[deep sandal]

But still

[thorny mesa]

i dont feel like comparing seasons will do much ngl

[brave ice]

I doubt 242 might be enough even for na. But 260 probably, maybe

[deep sandal]

I have the exact same score as last time

[thorny mesa]

most of my games are just a do they have it simulator

[teal sparrow]

This ^

And my opponents always have it

[brave ice]

260?

[deep sandal]

251

Got me #17 last time, #31 this time

[teal sparrow]

I died to Nahida Adeptus burst 3 times in a row today and 2 of them had IHLY

[thorny mesa]

weve had this conversation before 😭

im with you all the way

they do be having it

[teal sparrow]

Yup. I said you have to make them have it. It just happens that they always have it

[deep sandal]

I just wish I had joined the FiNaLy abusers earlier, I went 8:2 with it today

[visual iron]

Btw i Always feel like they Always have the card, every time my character dies: GAMBLER

[thorny mesa]

trust me you kinda just dont

i was a finaly abuser until i got finaly abused 😭

[visual iron]

I got comboed by a razor chong beidou combo which used every reso card, and got burst on round 2

[teal sparrow]

Razor OTK goated fr

[deep sandal]

Ok but the real problem is that most artifact engine decks have insane carddraw, so they have it most of the time

[oak nest]

btw does lotus protect from all hits at the end of combat, or jsut one? like jsut the one summon but not the other one? which one goes first?

[wispy rivet]

dang. and the matches aren't even all over, so it'll prolly be lower than 31. why's there such a big difference between the seasons? :yaethunk:

[oak nest]

the one on the left or right?

[thorny mesa]

one hit. left to right top to bottom

[teal sparrow]

Just one and the first to the left

[oak nest]

okay thank you! 🙂

[visual iron]

I play It i get matched against some infinite shield

[deep sandal]

I've learned my lesson, I'll join the boolies earlier next time

[teal sparrow]

This season was just brutal

[thorny mesa]

all ordering is whoever ended first left to right top to bottom including the support zone

[teal sparrow]

I mean I went 9-1 with my deck then kinda just fell off

[deep sandal]

pray to be luckier play better than them

[thorny mesa]

i mean yeah it was kinda like that

i had like 4 great days with rainbow decks and 2 bad ones and those 2 kinda cost me everything

[visual iron]

I finished all my games, final score: 161

Oof

O7

[thorny mesa]

so 14-21?

not terrible for a first time

[teal sparrow]

Top 100 is still really really good considering there's like 2K+ people playing EU this season

[thorny mesa]

thats a 2:3 ratio

[visual iron]

I hoped at least more wins than losses

[brave ice]

2k people? Who said it?

[thorny mesa]

yeah i always see room#6 and im surprised theres 6 room and then i realize theres actually 600 😭

[visual iron]

At least i get a cool cardback and 240 primos

[teal sparrow]

I'm making rough guesstimates based on the low low placements I've seen. Lowest I've heard so far is #1729

[thorny mesa]

well theres always next time

[cunning finch]

wait what?

[thorny mesa]

you have like a whole month+ of practice

[cunning finch]

no wonder the queue is fast

[brave ice]

I think it might be overall placement in all 3 regions tbh

Not eu one

[fringe estuary]

Wait EU queue ended right ?

[teal sparrow]

Idk with how many people play Genshin monthly it's not far fetched

[cunning finch]

25 mins left

[brave ice]

Not yet

[visual iron]

I Need to cook a deck, i like fast games

[teal sparrow]

A lot come just for 3 wins and the card back

[fringe estuary]

why ?

[thorny mesa]

nah the fact that theres consistently almost 700 rooms in both timeslots makes me feel like theres at least 1.5k people

[brave ice]

How we know it was 700 rooms?

Am I missing something? XD

[thorny mesa]

you can see the number of your room

[teal sparrow]

^

[thorny mesa]

i always see a 6 and i forget it actually just cuts off and says 600+

[oak nest]

oh, thats cool! i htought it was a rnadom number 😄

[thorny mesa]

so theres 600 rooms of 2 people in both timeslots

[native forge]

[brave ice]

Idk my queue this morning was actually very slow

[thorny mesa]

it could be but ive never seen it not start on a 5 or a 6

[teal sparrow]

Mine was fast as hell

I got my 5 games done in like an hour?

[brave ice]

Like 6-7 minutes waiting almost each time

[thorny mesa]

probably just mmr stuff

[oak nest]

mine are slow sometimes, ite depends

[leaden basalt]

[native forge]

Mine is fast in the first few days

[visual iron]

You all have more experience... Dont you think 35 games are too much? If you dont play 2 days it's over

[teal sparrow]

Nah 35 is a good amount

I'd maybe go down to 30 if anything for nice numbers but it's more an OCD thing

[viscid wadi]

For a whole week it is... Fine

[native forge]

35 is fine for me

[visual iron]

I would prefer 7 days, 30 games, the last day no add count, a day to recover

[native forge]

And 105 is also fine for many players

[teal sparrow]

Some people invading fr

[visual iron]

Cooking on three monitors

[teal sparrow]

Nah 3 times slots allows for it

[visual iron]

Every chinese dude i got matched against cooked me

[teal sparrow]

I once heard of someone who played 400~ matches in a week

[visual iron]

I Hope he won some Money at least

[native forge]

Guess how many Chinese is on EU lb now

[visual iron]

At least 1

[teal sparrow]

Nah it was all AOC and random Co op

[native forge]

At least 4

[teal sparrow]

I'd say there's probably 6 AS players but I can't see a lot of names

[native forge]

I'm not sure where the 1st now is from

[teal sparrow]

Whose in 1st?

[native forge]

I can't see either

[teal sparrow]

It's probably Kirano

[native forge]

kirano is 6th

[viscid wadi]

It is rocky i think

[teal sparrow]

Oh

Whose Rocky?

[visual iron]

Rocky balboa

[viscid wadi]

Bocchi the rock
