@@mercix_vt 💀

@@mercix_vt he’s def not too old for tournament stuff, it’s not like he’s trying to set pp record, just be consistent on weird maps, low AR HD, etc. he’s super insane at consistency so it’d be entirely unsurprising if he was really good at tournaments Personally I think the complacency in the US will catch up, they’ll lose one year because they’re basically putting forth their C team (not that they’re bad, just that the US has so many insane players) then the A team will come back and go back to crushing

A japanese player could be rank 7 on global ranking and they still wouldn’t be in the top 10 on JP country rankings

Or SK in 7K MWC lol

they can lose once and win 5 times in a row again

thats really what it looked like tho lol

Karcher is going to military next year

Vaxei return copium

@@abblabaabblaba823 i like to hope that he somehow postpone his military service again, since he had done it before

I dont think vaxei is gonna comeback on any long term basis pretty much ever again.

Flyingtuna would have to derust insanely if he wants to play well, since he only has like 3 months before it starts, karcher is going to the military, and shige (even in his ultimate prime form at that point) probably will still not join owc

its really depending on if either whitecat and the rest of the germany team plays hard throughout the year, korea if they could somehow get shige onto the team, poland if they get another prodigy, or canada just getting better as a team overall

its based ik, but feel free to comment your opinion on how u could try to make the teams better tbh

USATEI USATEI USATEI USATEI

They forgot that the United States is the best team in the world because of their late bracket skill cap not because of their early consistency 💀

In fairness, the USA in previous years was both early consistency and lategame powerhouse, but due to the improvement of everyone around them they've had to shelve the front half of that. The USA weren't scary because of their lategame; they were scary because they were guarenteed t get there. With that no longer being a guarentee, OWC is more interesting and the USA feels like they're earning their spot at the top more and more, frankly a win win situation

no issue just usa winning every year can get boring

@@wjjxkskqkw not for everyone as the video suggests

@@juanacosta4351 what

Imagine a country winning a tournament over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over- ok, fuck it, winning literally every year. It'll just make tournament look boring when you know the winner even before the beginning

@@wjjxkskqkw I understand how some people find it boring but it’s dumb that literally everyone is hating on the us because they are winning. Tbh they should just accept the skill issue

I mean it also can't hurt that the best two biggest star players in the history of the OWC team (Outside of Idke) were Filipino Americans

Did you know our team is 3/8 filipino

@@utamiiosu6739 Apart from you, idk about the others. Or maybe I forgot

Yeah same, a match is still content even if the team has won 4 tournaments in a row

I agree. Acting like Americans want their team to lose just because they keep winning is the dumbest thing imaginable.

it's always nice to see other countries winning, everyone loves an underdog story

@@moosen1262 you act like US isnt an underdog back in the early days of osu?

@@moosen1262 No. Not always, because many people like to see the constant development of the US team and every time with a smile on their face they are surprised that they are still the best national team in history, able to get out of any shit and maintain their abilities even when the osu community starts to hate them for it . They just laugh in the face of offended fans, proving their dominance in the arena (for many viewers, this is a real pleasure :)

It’s not surprising given the taiko community in Japan is far more dedicated than any other country. Despite only having ~500k active players they have ~40% more play count than the US (second highest) with 1.5m players

they kicked the kids, united 😓

Silicosis mwc when

Wubwoofwolf derusting could literally make a big difference, but sadly ever since 2018, its been just score farming

@@isuck6049 WWW is a good player but ppl gotta accept the fact that the map pool is just harder and WWW wouldnt be as good as he was back then(even if he did not score farm). He's still a legendary player but not in terms of high SR maps we have today, and i think he's still a strong pick in other type of tournaments

I think it's a lot more than just a little bit more power. They were not a team. They were a one-man rocket ship named Maliszewski and the ship ran out of gas

@@whenisdinner2137 imo ppl like mastasz and rafis are strong enough but yeah malisz is top

I think that was where he was going too, but it still makes me kind of irritated, because it just seems like he’s overly exaggerating people’s thoughts over the US’s win streak. I’ve watched OWC for a few years now, and i’m fairly active in the community, and rarely (maybe never) have I ever seen someone complain about the US winning. The people on that team put as much effort into practicing and playing just like every other country, so the title of this video is him downright disregarding their effort and skill, which is also severely disrespectful, even if it was a complete exaggeration.

The last time we saw the United States look actually pissed was 2019

Wasn't it Anton Castillo

Dw man, nothing wrong with cheering for your country’s team. Despite what this video says, there are people standing with you cheering for the kings of the hill

@@finadoggie W

the US is like that one horse that keeps winning, and so you keep putting your bets on it one day the US will tumble

thats what people should know when they say "SK would never lose when military service doesn't exist" the point is SK doesn't have that much good players compared to US not even Russia can match it

they can lose for once and win 5 times in a row (OWC 2017 fueled their rage)

Yeah we say that since 2017

Surely next year

You've been saying that literally every year since 2018. UK is so close, Germany is so close, South Korea is so close, what's next?

@@whenisdinner2137 Kazakhstan sweep next year😎

@@jadendobbs the best timeline

The thing is, the US just has too much of osu's overall playerbase, so it's natural to have more insane players.

I think that the way to beat countries like the United States is to abuse gimmick picks and have multiple traps in your map pool. When your team qualifies, their performances are comparatively rated. Therefore teams can counter-strat using their picks and bans. If your team will qualify, what dissuades you from throwing two maps as trap picks? Teams don't do this: their performances when qualifying is generally reflective on how their lineups play certain maps. Having trap picks gives you more ban and pick options. But it needs realism: Russia will never be bad at a speed pick so even if they're suddenly "bad" on it teams won't choose it anyway. But what if it's Nomod where Russia puts a subpar performance in? You can't presume then that they trolled it. Basically: - Throw two maps, preferably in the mod that your team isn't good at - If these two maps play a certain way, e.g. tech, ban this type of map against teams that you won't need the pick in anyway. - When you're against teams where you might want to use them, let them through and instead of banning picks you don't like, ban a pick they'd like instead. If they'd like the map you'd ban, let it through, ban something else. If the team has been playing to their standards then it throws the validity of what they're good at into obscurity. How can u pick tech into a team that used to ban it but they've beat u by a margin on it? Teams can get better but when they're banning it for the whole tourney and let it through and do good on it it's not them getting better. I would have two picks that are trap picks, good number to have. When it comes to gimmick not really long to explain. Have good players for gimmick maps. Play primarily gimmick maps. Your carry needs to play and be consistent at the gimmick picks your team will take and the consistent ones that the States will use. Maybe a trap here too. But you really need to practice and win gimmick picks if you want to rely on it and having bait picks.

@@ongyouki i guess people like to go for "consistency strategies" over big brain trap setting. I mean imagine you drop the ball on 1 or 2 picks, suddenly your team isn't 2nd or 3rd in qualifier, but suddenly gets 8th or 9th in qualifier. Instead of a relatively easy bracket, you gotta face tough opponnets - instead of facing the usa in finals, you have to face them in quarterfinals. Let's be real, The year Canada got their podium finish, they did not look good on the finals and grand finals pool. If they didn t have the luxury of having seed 2, they would likely have been eliminated by any of the teams in the losers bracket in finals weekend. So why should canada have thrown their shot at podium for that? I mean why should a team like south korea botch their qualifier seed in order to face usa or germany in quarters, when they can have teams like russia or romania instead? Apart from the fact that tougher opponents = u give up more points, so you are easier to scout out. This can easily backfire, and "fixing scores" to make u look weaker can also go wrong. Granted for me it looks like germany kinda always looks like "we just play as good as we need to to win". They normally take a relatively low seed compared to their final placing. They do not have that many "top scores of the week", but still win their maps regardless. Taiwan feels very similar to that on a lower level of "we play just as good as necessary".

A lot of people don't understand that the USA even though they are the strongest country in the world for the game as of this current moment are still growing at a faster rate than any other country. The USA is improving faster than every other country because it's the most competitive country and has the largest player base

Rank doesn't directly translates to tournament skill tbf. Sure, a 5 digit cannot keep up, but there are 3 digit players that can 1v1 most of the top 50 and win

They really don't understand that the United States has been nerfing themselves every year since 2019 💀

@@juanacosta4351 this is true but the United States has still been nerfing themselves since 2019

Most of the USA players in the top 50 are speed farmers. This isn’t bad, but a lot of them haven’t shown particular skill depth for tournaments. USA even has a tournament to get picked for the USA OWC team and many people don’t get picked on purpose for people of lower rank who are way better in tournament play.

Dead ass. Man is just huffing the copium even though he's American

No they would still lose because vaxei wouldn't feel the need to retire because of lack of competition
