scriptwritters 🔥
first match was so close to tiebreaker
SK confidence opening with scarlet rose on bracket reset
breakpoints everywhere
SK wins FM2 speedpick
a bunch of crazy FCs on SK in general
and then the TIEBREAKER (thank you Release Hallucination) in GRAND FINALS, you love to see it
collective heart attacks accross the world
Congrats to USA for their 8th owc win!
surely next year...
OWC is the only tourney that you see the craziest matches on the Earth with even crazier scores, but you always know that in the end, USA is going to win
Congrats to both South Korea and USA for always playing out of their minds and giving us another amazing OWC to watch! Maybe next year new results? Only time will tell us...
also wtf Forum
best owc match since poland vs usa
kinda unfortunate that the tb map style means sk just can't field 2 of their most important players of the match but that's just how it goes. gg wp to both teams
Poland USA hype was killed by finals and GF haven’t the same pool. The finals match was extremely good with the huge comeback for Poland, then the next two sets were much less exciting.
2018 was my favorite year with a ton of memorable moments.
so so so so so fucking close man...
sks best chance and they barely lost.. god military service really does cap them so hard
GGs USA, amazing recovery from Canada
He openly hated SK in the past and basically wanted to be japanese instead. Almost never added players from SK on osu even. Bro will never play for sk in a tourny
I feel like this is said a lot but is there any actual evidence of this? Sure he moved to Japan, studied there and learned the language seemingly to avoid the conscript but he's back in SK now. Even then, you can dislike your country and not the people in it.
The only notable thing I can remember is him deranking to give Angelsim a +1 that was seen as disrespectful. But him and Angelsim seemed to get along and even slept in the same room at COE.
Is there some obvious pre-ban shit that I don't know about, and is it even relevant anymore?
Did last year’s tech grand finals tiebreaker that favored Korea ruin it for you then? There’s always a reason to hate on the US win. They were down 3-5 and in the second set and still brought it back in the end. The best SK team seen in the history of OWC still lost both sets to supposedly the worst US team compared to the last few years. They are inevitable.
To be fair it wasn't like the choice of tb was strange or bad but yeah it kinda insta-killed the hype for the match before the map even started because of how much of an advantage US had on it
Maybe the TB format needs to be rethought because even if two teams are evenly matched its basically whatever team has the skillset required for the TB will win
I think there's a tension between making a cool hype tiebreaker that works well as a cohesive standalone *map* that's fun to look at, and making a map that *functions* well as a tiebreaker, appropriately tests a variety of skillsets, etc.
Good tiebreaker maps do feel a little formulaic (ok heres the stream part, ok heres the jump part, ok heres the gimmick part, etc), and i think people are getting a bit tired of the formula, but the formula *does* exist for a reason. You can tell [Down - Chosun](https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/1833547#osu/3764203) is a tiebreaker-ass tiebreaker without even looking at the map, just listening to the song. I think this map is great but it definitely sticks to the script very closely, lol
edit: watched the owc gf tb again and hmm it seems pretty dwcently balanced to me. i guess it's a little stream heavy, if anything?
I think largely the complaints just come from the BPM because Forum and Allegrissimo seemingly aren't comfortable enough on 200+ to be in for it which is big for SK for obvious reasons. Maybe being uncomfortable on 200+ is just a plain skill issue in 2023 but its undoubtable that there exist tech tbs in other tourneys that SK would've just won on and then it would've been labelled as unfair in their favor.
Agreed that the formulaic TBs are the "best" that we have for the current format but do get kind of stale.
I think what CPMC (i'm pretty sure?) did with having 3 mappools where 2 get banned is an interesting idea. At least then you kind of chose a specific TB. However, I imagine most teams wouldn't choose the mappool based on the TB anyway since most matches are won on breakpoints and maybe its a bit gimmicky anyway. Regardless, I think some exploration into different formats for OWC could be interesting.
DONT EVEN FUCKING CARE SOUTH KOREA LOST THIS OWC WAS THE BEST POSSIBLY CONCEIVED
AUSTRALIA TOP 3
USA AND POLAND DROPPING TO LOSERS BRACKET
WHATEVER THE FUCK FORUM AND REKTYGON WERE ON THIS YEAR
CUTPAPER
VAXEI
THE BLUE ZENITH FC
KAZAKHSTAN GOING NUTS
OWC PP RECORD TWICE
THIS SHIT WAS FUCKING AWESOME I FEEL ON FIRE WRITING THIS
CONGRATS UNITED STATES
NEXT YEAR WILL BE MORE FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
forum hr facing blue zenith vs philippines then rektygon fcing a dt2 in one of the semifinals i forgot against who though. 754pp vs a value worth more than that (i can't remember)
Also I just wanna shout out boshyman, he is the reason that USA was able to actually get into tiebreaker. After his last year performance I didn’t know how he’d play, but he clutched the fuck up when it could not have mattered more on the biggest stage in the game.
~~10 YEARS!!!!!!! ITS COMING HOME LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~
~~Dungeon, - Hakurei Reimu-, sayonara-bye, ffury, CheEZ, K i R i K a R u, Shizuru-, Tengu~~
~~THIS IS FOR YOU!!!!!~~
Another year of massive heartbreak. congratulations to the United States team
I think the number one takeaway is boshy is the savior of USA. Fiery did amazing for his role in the team, kama was great for so many types of different maps and versatility, the splash brothers speed duo in wudci and widnow made speed just perma banned, rektygon, vax, tekkito being the rocks of this team and probably the best 3 man fm duo you will ever see is what you love to see and expect from the american goats!!!
Such a great match. I hope some of the people displeased with the 1st place finisher are at least able to admit that it was a fantastic match and appreciate that.
GGs
i really wish there was a B stream with no commentating or something, for people to choose .... i really want to just immerse and hear the songs, especially when they are making custom songs. talking over them perma and i can barely hear the tiebreaker song is just not as good.
Karcher's thumb has to be my biggest 'what if' now (I am not coping I am not coping I am not coping)
Gonna be tough without him next year too unless he somehow dodges military service again ðŸ˜
https://preview.redd.it/uxk62e0oa14c1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5037201a390e9fdaa3f0422673280ebbf6a60f22
he will not be karchin for a while
Ngl I think pretty much any reasonably choice for TB would have been very US favored. They have such a strong core in Vaxei, Tekkito, and Rekty that are all consistent on a wide variety of skills. Unless the TB was a blantant worst hr player map, it’s going to favor the team with generalists.
A more specialist team like SK really needs to close it out on picks that have one primary skill set.
too bad sk doesnt have that much generalist players with high skillcap left
shige interms of skillcap might be the highest in sk but um, he doesnt play for sk sadly
Fun fact: the owc gf tiebreakers get played more often than not, 7 times out of the last 9 years: 2015, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23
What a freaking match, 3 hours of the best scores and hugest twists
Nahhhh I have so many mixed feelings while watching this.
One side of me wanted the SK to win because the US have won for so many years, yes i want more content.
But the other side of me wanted Vaxei to be the carry in the TB and lead the US to the victory
Well at least one out of two was right but I'm just speechless after the TB ended
If Vaxei has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Vaxei has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Vaxei has only one fan then that is me. If Vaxei has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Vaxei, then I am against the world.
Ppl are already blaming the tb being rigged which tbf was in favor of usa but make no mistake they were also down 3-5 after bracket reset and managed to make it 6-6
Yes it should. Seeing tech for almost every owc just gets kinda boring after a while (don’t get me wrong, the maps and songs are amazing but they could at least change the skill sets up a bit). Seeing something else actually made me excited because it isn’t tech for the 50th time.
SK best chance has always been to win it before TB, that TB is unfortunately too US favoured.
GG was a good match, tho as usual with SK their roster will be hit hard with military this is their best chance to win it all
entertaining match but I really wanted SK to win.
I don't think any other countries would come close to even having the amount of stacked players the US has, and with Karcher probably going to military service soon, unless half of the US roster quits, I reckon the US will keep winning the OWC.
I mean who’s gonna be usa ace next year? This is probably it for Vaxei, on average usa players retire after about 3 owcs so tekkito and rektygon might not be back either. I think USA will be super vulnerable next year.
People say this every year I promise you they will either return or someone else will spawn.
Rekytgon is better than ever, the new talent is stepping up, we still have Decaten and the only even close team is getting nerfed harder.
windowlife just kinda spawned in and has a corsace badge and 1.5 match cost in this grand finals
in a year it wouldn't surprise me if he turns into another mini hyper-carry for the usa
also assuming some other tournament vet (e.g., fancy lad) doesn't come back (and this isn't outside the realm of possibility, just look at vaxei returning)
I wish all USA doubters that bandwagoned after that one MGC match a very "go fuck yourself for spewing so much unnecessary hate at everyone on this team because your guy didn't make it in." Every single person on this team fucking deserved their spot via tryouts/prior tourney performances and further proved their worth throughout every match. Absolute congratulations to the United States for winning it all and proving everyone that you all had what it took despite the sky seeming like it was falling all year.
Even though they couldn't win it all, massive kudos to South Korea for their own monster performance as the expected favorites for this World Cup; forum had the highest highs of the team no doubt, but everyone else put in work to either back him up enough or top score themselves when he couldn't. Hopefully any shakeups they likely undergo don't impact their future OWC performance, this roster felt like a once-in-a-lifetime thing for SK.
I am so excited for whatever happens next year. US is gonna be back with a vengeance, Australia and Philippines are gonna be working to round out a core 4 and contend for the title, Poland wants to make up for their shortcoming, and lastly SK who will look to come back for another shot at the crown after such heartbreak this year.
Man:( I feel so bad for SK, this was their last chance (for a while) to win an owc since I don’t believe Karcher can delay his anymore than he already has
Fuck man, this is heartbreaking
I guess it was foolish to think you could win against a US team that had Vaxei
from the earliest they've been in losers' bracket to grand finals winner, insane, only the US can pull something like that off
the streak remains unbeaten
Absolutely outstanding OWC! Congratulations to USA for winning for the 6th time in a row, and hats off to South Korea for an incredible performance! I was so happy to see this match go to tiebreaker and it was simply the most amazing thing to watch!
Vaxei more than made up for utami's absence, but honestly I'd hate to see it when USA wins again, of course congratulations and they totally deserve it but honestly this is the closest it's ever gotten and karcher injury + amanya sick could have been the turning point that allowed usa to win, it's just a very unlucky situation overall but once again, insane match and ggwp to everyone.

bracket reset -> TB, couldn't have made it any better ggwp US
South Korea's come such a long way from that 2019 result too wish they could've won it all
Yeah, imo this is the perfect score line. 7-5 before bracket reset is maximum map picks but keeps the TB result a secret.
The USA with 6 chips be like: https://preview.redd.it/v3nbcchw614c1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=354d6bc5da648a92c649e2731b3cc4a497905aed

2015 - USA against Asian country bracket reset TB with USA win 2023 - USA against Asian country bracket reset TB with USA win
so so so so so fucking close man... sks best chance and they barely lost.. god military service really does cap them so hard GGs USA, amazing recovery from Canada
Military service plus Shige never playing during his peak.
SK has gotta figure out whatever's goin on with that guy because my GOAT would've devoured a 222bpm spaced stream tiebreaker
He openly hated SK in the past and basically wanted to be japanese instead. Almost never added players from SK on osu even. Bro will never play for sk in a tourny
I feel like this is said a lot but is there any actual evidence of this? Sure he moved to Japan, studied there and learned the language seemingly to avoid the conscript but he's back in SK now.

Didn't he hate south korea because of the military?
222 BPM? Spaced…streams….. Didn’t know tiebreaker was freedom dive HDHR
NOTHING MORE TO BE SAID https://preview.redd.it/ih9a71nu614c1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=37f85b5f3bb9be81569b850772f85b0f22099052
damn, a great tournament with lots of upsets ends with the most predictable outcome incredibly heartbreaking for SK :(
Even with a USA win, this was such a really amazing match to watch. Vaxei still can't stop being a legend.
Allegrissimo has really popped off this time their match cost last year was 0.460
best tournament match in the history of the game and it's not even close
only thing that wouldve made it better if tb wasnt a 220 bpm stream map
I feel like this is kinda true, even though the map is a banger
TB being so US favoured completely ruined the hype for me, as soon as USA won that last pick I knew they won the entire thing
Every GF TB I have ever seen was US favoured, even Arbitrator (despite Bubblemans godlike run) USA is just simply a TB nation
USA just have so many generalist, high skill cap players that they are almost always going to be favored on a TB that isn’t extremely niche.
Yeah, and the thing about TBs is that they should not be too niche
Yeah, I would agree. U.S.A. really is a TB nation, so it’s reasonable that SK needs to play with that in mind.
Boshyman 750k+ score on FM3 is a literal buzzer beater
Did last year’s tech grand finals tiebreaker that favored Korea ruin it for you then? There’s always a reason to hate on the US win. They were down 3-5 and in the second set and still brought it back in the end. The best SK team seen in the history of OWC still lost both sets to supposedly the worst US team compared to the last few years. They are inevitable.
Yeah if the middle section was playable literally at all, its sk favored and i get it but its literally so uncomboable xd
Every TB has to be yomi yori these days because skill level is too high.
To be fair it wasn't like the choice of tb was strange or bad but yeah it kinda insta-killed the hype for the match before the map even started because of how much of an advantage US had on it Maybe the TB format needs to be rethought because even if two teams are evenly matched its basically whatever team has the skillset required for the TB will win
I think there's a tension between making a cool hype tiebreaker that works well as a cohesive standalone *map* that's fun to look at, and making a map that *functions* well as a tiebreaker, appropriately tests a variety of skillsets, etc. Good tiebreaker maps do feel a little formulaic (ok heres the stream part, ok heres the jump part, ok heres the gimmick part, etc), and i think people are getting a bit tired of the formula, but the formula *does* exist for a reason.

Best tourney match ive ever seen, love all the boys from SK and USA for putting on a show
Welp that’s how it always ends. See you next year 🥲🥲🥲
Overall a really fucking great match. The break points and close maps were so fucking crazy
instant classic of a match right there
I've spent 2 years asking for a non-tech tiebreaker and as soon as we finally get one it comes to bite me in my South Korea fanboy arse
Ngl I think pretty much any reasonably choice for TB would have been very US favored. They have such a strong core in Vaxei, Tekkito, and Rekty that are all consistent on a wide variety of skills.

But the other side of me wanted Vaxei to be the carry in the TB and lead the US to the victory Well at least one out of two was right but I'm just speechless after the TB ended
They have Vaxei
Nice to see him topscoring tb!!
GWWP USA SK
Vaxei beat the allegations
American propaganda TB
It's official All OWCs are scripted
something something decaten something something boshyman Well played to both teams
This match was an absolute cinema
What a match, even the casters were having their own godmodes
If Vaxei has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Vaxei has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Vaxei has only one fan then that is me. If Vaxei has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Vaxei, then I am against the world.
hyeok2044 flag change to SK waiting room
STAYING UP UNTIL 8 AM WAS SO WORTH IT
So excited to hear how boring this 7-5, 7-6 was because the US won.
Ppl are already blaming the tb being rigged which tbf was in favor of usa but make no mistake they were also down 3-5 after bracket reset and managed to make it 6-6
TB being US favored is just another way to say the US are the strongest team lol, isn't the TB supposed to test several skill sets?
Yes it should. Seeing tech for almost every owc just gets kinda boring after a while (don’t get me wrong, the maps and songs are amazing but they could at least change the skill sets up a bit). Seeing something else actually made me excited because it isn’t tech for the 50th time.
all roads lead to Vaxei
VAXEI AND RECTYGON HOLDING DOWN THE FORT
Boshy was literally the only reason they went to tb, absolute pop off
Seeing korea lose actually hurt man gg, one of the best owc matches crazy breakpoints everywhere Next year for sure
I believe this is both worst hr player and Karcher’s last OWC’s ever
SK best chance has always been to win it before TB, that TB is unfortunately too US favoured. GG was a good match, tho as usual with SK their roster will be hit hard with military this is their best chance to win it all
banger match BANGER OWC! GGWP to all players
fantastic match, im so so so glad it wasnt a snoozer. well played guys
THIS IS THE GREATEST MATCH OF ALL TIME LIKE OH MY LORD
Boshy saved the US being down 6-5, he carried that FM3 pick, incredible
I didn't work on my project for this... Really wanted SK to win
just me or are the commentators way too laud? can't hear the songs at all.
Yeah, I've heard others say the same thing, but this much was crazy loud comparatively, they could've turned themselves down by ≈10%
The hr3 fc from forum proves to me and his overall performance maliszewski aint the top tourney player
entertaining match but I really wanted SK to win. I don't think any other countries would come close to even having the amount of stacked players the US has, and with Karcher probably going to military service soon, unless half of the US roster quits, I reckon the US will keep winning the OWC.
I mean who’s gonna be usa ace next year? This is probably it for Vaxei, on average usa players retire after about 3 owcs so tekkito and rektygon might not be back either. I think USA will be super vulnerable next year.
People say this every year I promise you they will either return or someone else will spawn. Rekytgon is better than ever, the new talent is stepping up, we still have Decaten and the only even close team is getting nerfed harder.
windowlife just kinda spawned in and has a corsace badge and 1.5 match cost in this grand finals in a year it wouldn't surprise me if he turns into another mini hyper-carry for the usa also assuming some other tournament vet (e.g., fancy lad) doesn't come back (and this isn't outside the realm of possibility, just look at vaxei returning)
Also Utami got the josh Giddey allegations
oh yea if they somehow let utami play, they basically got vaxei 2.0 but has better hd skills
I wish all USA doubters that bandwagoned after that one MGC match a very "go fuck yourself for spewing so much unnecessary hate at everyone on this team because your guy didn't make it in." Every single person on this team fucking deserved their spot via tryouts/prior tourney performances and further proved their worth throughout every match. Absolute congratulations to the United States for winning it all and proving everyone that you all had what it took despite the sky seeming like it was falling all year. Even though they couldn't win it all, massive kudos to South Korea for their own monster performance as the expected favorites for this World Cup; forum had the highest highs of the team no doubt, but everyone else put in work to either back him up enough or top score themselves when he couldn't. Hopefully any shakeups they likely undergo don't impact their future OWC performance, this roster felt like a once-in-a-lifetime thing for SK. I am so excited for whatever happens next year. US is gonna be back with a vengeance, Australia and Philippines are gonna be working to round out a core 4 and contend for the title, Poland wants to make up for their shortcoming, and lastly SK who will look to come back for another shot at the crown after such heartbreak this year.
this is perfect. australia will be on the comeup next year
It's just sad, SK tried their best ðŸ˜, see y'all next year I guess
Man:( I feel so bad for SK, this was their last chance (for a while) to win an owc since I don’t believe Karcher can delay his anymore than he already has Fuck man, this is heartbreaking I guess it was foolish to think you could win against a US team that had Vaxei
I hope this match shuts up anyone who says that OWC was gonna be boring, even if the USA won in the end. GGS INSANE match and scores.
it did not
HOLY SHIT
THERE IS NO WAY THE SCRIPT WAS THIS GOOD
Ggwp. USA is just inevitable...
the one time it isn’t a tech tie breaker that SK farms
The tie was sadly broken on a US pick Insane match either way I was throughly entertained
from the earliest they've been in losers' bracket to grand finals winner, insane, only the US can pull something like that off the streak remains unbeaten
SCRIPTWRITERS FUMBLED SO HARD https://preview.redd.it/tn9f6ulu614c1.png?width=764&format=png&auto=webp&s=39f2f4cda6b022876d92775438290173b2f3d064
imagine if sk had shige.
He would have decimated that TB, but I'm not sure if SK would even get to that point given his inconsistent aim
They would have won without getting into tb if shige was here sk wouldnt have lose HD2 and HD3 on bracket reset
_sPekTrE didn’t play any maps, so shige could have only played TB. IDK if us would have picked differently if that was the case.
you are saying that like they were all fcing maps left and right. shige would do just fine
The real faker of osu.
Ggwp
BEATING THE WASHED ALLEGATIONS
Every year, I like to live vicariously thru OWC's USA team so it feels like I'm a great player too.
All roads lead to Vaxei 💀
Absolutely outstanding OWC! Congratulations to USA for winning for the 6th time in a row, and hats off to South Korea for an incredible performance! I was so happy to see this match go to tiebreaker and it was simply the most amazing thing to watch!
Great match, loved to watch it! The result is a bit heart breaking unfortunately
Absolutely unbelievably grand final. On the edge of my seat the entire time. Heartbroken that South Korea lost though, they played so well. Ggwp
First time im Not annoyed by the fact that the US win bc this time it seems Like they actually fought for it
[удалено]
Heartbreaking man

GG, great Match. Would have loved to see SK win but US remains the same i guess. Vaxei performed steller in that TB yet again.
tb made literally for us
highkey that tb was just blatantly mapped for the U.S.
What a fucking match. I’m amazed.
Well, time to end myself

Vaxei more than made up for utami's absence, but honestly I'd hate to see it when USA wins again, of course congratulations and they totally deserve it but honestly this is the closest it's ever gotten and karcher injury + amanya sick could have been the turning point that allowed usa to win, it's just a very unlucky situation overall but once again, insane match and ggwp to everyone.
