TWT 2024 Global Finals: Group C & D - Match Review

[@RehanRamzan-vy7tb]

Really like your channel. Usually I sleep listening to you 😭😂

[@funkrates4778]

You have some of the best breakdowns. Very insightful. I think you’d make a good addition to the commentary team 💪

Forgot to mention something you've asked a couple times in the past during round robin formats. Regarding the points gained/lost, the formula is quite simple. For every game you take, you gain a point, for every game you lose, you lose a point. So, a 2-0 win nets you 2 points, a 2-1 win gives 1 point, a 1-2 loss subtracts 1 point, and going down 0-2 takes away 2 points, all straightforward. Basically, had Ulsan beat Kkokkoma (2-1 or 2-0, wouldn't make a difference in this case), he would have been completely safe, because losing to Farzeen would at worst tie him with Kkokkoma (and he would automatically win that tiebreak due to their head-to-head result) But the fact he lost to Kkokkoma, meant that he *HAD* to beat Farzeen, either 2-0 or 2-1. The "catch" with the standard RR format is that there's two main things to factor, head-to-heads and point swings. Since for every match, for the total point swing of the combatants, there's only two possible scenarios (either a 2 point or a 4 point swing (for 2-1s and 1-2s, and for 2-0s and 0-2s respectively, so basically, either winner gets 1, loser loses 1, or winner gets 2, loser loses 2), it's quite easy to anticipate the possible scenarios after a couple matches have concluded. In this instance, Farzeen was in some trouble before Kkkokkoma beat him 2-1, because even if he had beat Kkokkoma, he would *need* to 2-0 Ulsan (because there wouldn't be a Kkokkoma to cuck Ulsan out of the group). Funnily enough Farzeen managed to do the latter and eliminate Ulsan with his own hands, even though he had no chance of making it out himself at that point. Last but not least, head-to-head results can still make the difference in point ties, as they're an automatic tie-break, which pretty much eliminates scenarios of 2-person ties, though 3-way ties can still rarely occur (and have occured), and those would require an additional playoff phase for the 3 combatants. In this group, we were so close to a 4-man tie, which is super rare, and I'm not even sure how the rules would be for that scenario. But due to Farzeen getting russian-assaulted by Atif, Ulsan fingerd by Farzeen, and Nobi-san getting Nobi'd by Ulsan, we didn't get it. 😔

I still the RR with Jimmy and Speed, where they kept going into your breakers. That was some good-ass TWT.

[@coldsixthousand1]

"Because Kuma overall is a joke character" That made me laugh, also very true. Keep it real, Tyler.

[@BattleForEden]

You have amazing commentary!

Bro nobody's scared of the drag anymore. I'm guessing they won't be nerfing him again

Heyy Tyler

[@Tyler2k]

Heya!

Great coverage of twt Tyler, your commentary is as impeccable as ever. Regarding Bears' ws1 floats, you could still get a screw in T7, but had to commit to delaying the second part of ws1, 2, and you couldn't really confirm it, just anticipate/read the float. On more serious, and extremely important, matters, I've been closely following your commentating escapades for some years, and I now feel confident enough to ask from you something of great significance. Could you please utilize the twt win/loss pictures in your thumbnails? 🥹 After the Anton Chigur Nobi thumbnail from dreamhack Atlanta, I believe we *need* a sequel. Book's, Kwstakys' and many others' poses have some killer thumbnail potential.

Been thinking about grabbing them, the only issue is I can't find the direct sources from Namco. I can pull them from video but with this year's black and white motif, it makes things trickier. If someone has a website to pull them from, though, I'd do it 100%.
