Tournament: The Mindset of a Top Player
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 07. 2024
- I partook in a stacked osu!mania tournament over the last few months, and I decided to document everything, along with my honest thoughts throughout. It was a stressful experience given my discomfort with the game compared to Etterna, but it definitely taught me a bit moving forward and I had a blast competing with everyone during the actual matches.
Big thanks to everyone who worked on the tournament and cooperated with my tilted-ness at times lmao. And of course, huge shoutouts to Toaph for being the homie and teaming with me through it all and just being a chill guy overall: osu.ppy.sh/users/7616811

it was an honor to play against you guys, and it was awesome to see you comeback to osu!mania, even though it's only for a couple months lmaoo
also great video as always, one of the few videos that i've fully watched without skipping, despite it being this long
Gg's my dude! Maybe if Etterna ever has tournament support in the future, I'd love to see you over on that game haha.
how the fuck did you get that 997
ur the final boss
@@tlocto He's insane at LNs, literal god even in 7key

Can't believed this was a 55 minutes long, I thought it was 10 minutes long
Yooo what's up i follow you on insta I knew i recognized the name
this was a super great video, thanks for making it, really gave me some insight on tournament play which I haven't seen explained to this detail really ever. You've been killing it lately!
oh yeah almost forgot that kenos is a mania player
Npesta
omg its you!!1! aaaaaaa
Do that pro release!
Yeah, he has
Man I'm playing an osu! grand finals match next week and this actually helps me a lot amazing video as always
Goodluck
goodluck
Gl
how was it tho homie?
@@mercamia Lost 1 point in the TB to the best player, lost 1 point in TB to the second best player, ended up third. And the 2 best players ended up playing a TB together too lol
Man, the time zone difference really fucking sucks. Imagine waking up to immediately play o!m lmao
What I don't get is, why is the winner's side of grands being forced to play at a worse time zone for them? :
@@DragonstoneWolfe I'm guessing they agreed on the time and asia vs america is always "Team sleep deprived vs Team Just Woke Up" so lul
@@DragonstoneWolfe maybe it was the other way around on the semis, idk :/
@@unor1ginalname He did say "we got screwed for the second time this tournament" when they got that time, so I can only assume it was random or predetermined?
i got that in speed of light 1, i woke up and was 2 mins late to the match, the other player didnt show up at all so i settled in a win, i practiced a bit and then got shredded by bojii 30 mins later
your voice is like twice as deep in the morning wtf
for real!! i was confused at first until i realized it was him :-O
After Tournament stress LUL
Damn
Etienne is corpse in the morning
I'm the same way, I'm higher pitched than most guys in the afternoon but I'm a bass in the morning lol
This was a really cool format; this was something that I had wanted to do in the past all the way back in SOFT2 back when I did my whole Group Stages reel. Enjoyed watching the whole thing -- the pre-GF vlog was an awesome touch. Like others said, it went by quite quickly.
7:13 OMG I'm there!!! Etienne you literally killed me in SoL lmao
VIVA CHILE MIERDA
oh hey ive played u in a multi before
loved this video, seriously, great job!
this tourney was an absolute blast to commentate, you guys did a spectacular job! love the video format too
This was such an amazing, well-put together video, definitely gives great insight and light to the tournament scene of osu!m and easy to understand for those who haven't played a osu!m tournament before.
Very well made video. I don't even play 4k games mainly, but due to how good you are at making content and keeping me entertained for almost an hour, watching this video was awesome. It was very enjoyable watching your experience, and congrats on 2nd place!
I just subscribed this morning, writing this comment right before the Grand Finals match and it was a fun watch. Seeing how these games are played in a tournament setting certainly was interesting.
38:42 CATIENNE POG
Sadly I wasn’t able to watch the tournament you were playing in, but I’m excited to see a video about it.
Watched the entire video and it was really good. The commentaries from you and video structure is *perfect* . Keep it up.
Man, this was such a fucking great video man. Was an incredible 55 minutes of watching that flew by so fast. So interesting to see the behind the scenes and thought process of a top player playing in a tournament. Thanks for the time for making this video, hope to see you in another tourney and the journey being shown!
I genuenly enjoyed this video even tho I don't play mania myself. Your voice is really relaxing and it shocked me when I saw that I just watched a 55 minute video. Great video and you come across like a really chill dude.
Wow man you did a great job with this video! Such a cool thing to get your perspective as a player in the tournament. Also, kinda refreshing to see an honest and straightforward showing of all the ups and downs that come along with these kind of events. Like dealing with your teammates emotions and struggles as well as your own and how you deal with them...or maybe don’t deal with them hahaha!
Interesting to see how so much of it comes down to exploiting strengths and weaknesses in different people's skillsets, because even the best players in the world are certain kinds of good. Especially interesting that the song set is dependent on how far into the tournament you are - I've seen rhythm game tournaments that do it and tournaments that don't, and it has a huge impact on who can win at different points. Very informative and entertaining video!
how does etienne make 55 minutes feel so short
I'm genuinely dumbfounded on this myself. I clicked on this thinking it was gonna be 15 mins long and didn't even realize
The reason why this doesn’t feel like 55 minutes is because etienne is so entertaining to watch that you forget about time
40:46 The way you went from :D to :|... felt that
Very cool to see a behind the scenes of a tournament like that. I mainly play osu! standard but for any rythm game I think it's fair to say that it's as much a mental game as it is physical and the mindset plays an important role for overall performance. Really well made video, I thoroughly enjoyed it even though I don't really play 4k myself!
man, wish I wasn't too busy with school to follow you on this journey. Such an amazing video, my favorite video from you by far.
Good job ETienne, i was in your semifinals stream facing regular teams, and it was intense lol, i had to open 2 tab to see tourney stream too
I have such a honor reffing all grand finals matches.
Thanks for the vid, etienne
Damn, I'm not even a mania player, but your videos and style are always such a joy that this video just flew by.
dude i really like your videos they are so relaxing keep up the content :)
It was great being able to commentate this tournament, and pretty daunting (but also equally amazing) to commentate with you for one match 👍👍👍
I've experienced cold hands a lot too, back when I did piano competitions and again in the one mania tournament I completed in. You're not alone
You've inspired me to try to become a tournament player in the very distant future, This content is amazing!
This was super entertaining, keep up the good work :D
The vlog was honestly really entertaining lol.
I am starting out with 2 taiko tournaments, Taiko Tournament Mexico and Intermediate Global Taiko Showdown.
I just lost the first one out of nerves when I could recover at last game, I just joined the tournaments to make the goal to myself to beat nerves in general.
After watching this is a certain relief and inspiration to find a different aproach to these tournaments as it boils down to accuracy which is merely what I dont have.
Thank you for making the video, I will try to get even farther than 8ths now with even a different gimmick than the first tournament.
Amazing video
Haven't even finished watching but I know it will be
Absolutely loved this video, GGs!!
This was a fantastic video crazy good structure and super enjoyable :)
prior to this i didn’t understand mania or etterna at all but now i feel like i have a grasp of how they work and they seem really interesting and fun
Dude that worlds fastest gamer video is how I found your channel via that description
Goated vid, was glad to even be a part of this tournament as a viewer.
Congratz WFG and regular team ! 👏👏
Man, you make so many insights on little cognitive patterns in rhythm gaming that the fellas in the etterna discord fail to consider. Thanks for being pro, Etienne!
Man, regardless of the ending and knowing I can't read minds, I'm still sure Toaph was over the moon getting to Winner's Finals with you. The fact that you got that far is amazing, especially on a rhythm game that's not your forte. Huge kudos, man
Damn what a great video
that voice is really deep in the morning, jfc...
reminds me of pishifat, quite nostalgic :3
Amazing video :))
51:07 "fighting all the way from losers since round of 16" dsakjsdajhk damn I knew my blatant untimely misspeak would end up here.
Glad you, toaph, and everyone involved played and had fun! Amazing documentary.
interesting vid and insight
to hope more play mania!
*and taiko and catch* ... maybe one day.
Your keyboard is so satisfying on dark sambaland
I like how detailed rice maps are named and LN is just LN and hybrid is just hybrid xD (saihate is a hybrid pick bro)
Otherwise nice vid
Awesome work man!
It's criminal how underrated you are.
Imagine playing LN seriously for the first time on a grandfinal, what a match !
Have been interested in tournaments for a while! Haven't competed in a rhythm game since DDR Max 2 in high school haha
Cool video, watched till the end
I just love your content
That was really neat.
Had the same thing with cold hands happen to me too today. Although it was my first tournament ever, but yeah nerves can kill your hands.
I always get cold hands during longer play sessions. I thought about buying fingerless gloves but I just haven't had the time to go to the store in a while.
I do wish osu mania would add the colored notes like eterna. Or at least give the players the option to skin those in. If I get the time I'll program some sample code and put it into osu lazer if it's not already in there. :v
gamer
Captioning said “Jump Troll Simulator” talking about staple on smile, pretty fitting
5:01 love nate's team name
If you’re interested - what are two things you’d like to change about osu!mania in osu!stable to improve your experience with it? Rules are: you can’t pick notelock nor hold note release timings.
As for osu!lazer, anything goes including notelock (which should already be improved), so feel make a list, but I’ll dedicate some personal time into attempting to make any two top suggestions possible for osu!stable, time permissible of course.
your voice sounds so deep in the morning wth
Oh fuck lmao this was an hour? Went by so quick
etienne needs to make more vlogs!
SoL2 looked really fun
Dictate - Militant + DT is really fun
i dont normally comment on vids but this one was really entertaining
what you did with the transition at 23:23 sounds sick, nice one
A wild b0tch3d has been spotted, episode 2(I believe?) :ehpeek:
26:07 HYPE
Today is very epic
the osu! tournament experience:
- "what are those schedules"
- "why are the brackets so weird"
- "why am i so nervous over this game"
- "oh it's late in the tournament? i give up"
Man, I sure am THRIVING rn
Etienne with KaneMining in team tournament 2023🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
big pp
I might try etterna some day
i remember someone asking in our mania dc server if czech players will play this year... i dont think anyone played :(
I s2g I would play the hell out of etterna if it had a tourney variant
7:14 se llama cago fuego y me pareció chistoso el nombre por lo que he considerado compartir con ustedes este timestamp para que los demas boludos que vean al eitin les de gracia tambien
.....
y dejen de decir que no le sé al chitpost
15:09 oooof what happened there? Is the match on twitch? I need to know what happened yikes.
I dont even play mania and tourny but I still finish this video.
Still come back to this video after 2 years, it is a shame he left the VSRG scene, this is a pristine documentary on o!m tournaments presented in such a humble and down to earth tone.
cheewee so fucking good jeez
imagine a hour long video from etienne
huh, never thought the single colored column can be that problematic and impactful, while im the other way around trying to play etterna and confused with the multi colored note on a single column
Snap coloring is pretty useful for accuracy and reading technical patterns
Tip for warming up hands: run them under warm water
Oh fucking Pog.
Oh hey thats me in qualifiers!
Nice try! Really enjoyable video!
TIL Etterna does not have release timing... wtf, I literally been playing it with that in mind, no wonder mania feels just so different.
On sliders there are release timings right?
now i know what artie from glee has been up to
nice video
awesome
What the fuck your morning voice is DEEP
I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was a video about fighting games😅, but the video is amazing anyway
sorry for asking but in mania games what ratio means ? for example some peoples like jakkads get in quaver 40 ratio in some maps what that means
The ratio between the rainbow 300s and everything else. The more rainbow 300s notes you get in the map, the better the ratio.
etienne eating cheerios asmr video when
Picking this video over a disney classic every time
u deserve more views
I feel like ln players are overlooked lmao it so cool tho
