這次的比賽是隨機的分組，在報名的參賽選手裡面PP最多的前96名可以參與這場比賽，所以在報名截止前有些選手就開始爆刷PP，而我本來穩穩地在前96名，突然在截止前的接近1小時前被fewesf9告知我被刷下去了，所以我就趕緊的把PP刷回來，雖然事後來看沒差，因為有些人沒有過官方的screening。

比賽的分組有一個公式，來”公平”的評價一個選手的強度，之後再依照這個強度來將每位選手分成A,B,C三個等級。我毫無意外的被分到C組，但是依我來看很多人的等級明顯的被誤判，有些被高估有些被低估，但是這也沒辦法，只要這個世界上有deranker這件事情就沒辦法被避免。

每隊會隨機的抽取兩個A兩個B兩個C組成一隊，很神奇的我被分到跟我的4DM隊友shice2566一隊，他是B組的，而我的兩個A組隊友分別是[Zekken]跟Nikorofanboy，還有另外兩個隊友分別是B組的Mrfoap跟C組的Fr05tyGD，依照這個比賽的賽制想走到後面的話C組的發揮尤為關鍵，我看了一下Fr05tyGD發現他的比例非常不錯，而我可以打SV，然後shice2566也是一個相當頂的B組選手，其他人雖然我還不知道但是至少我們算是一個不錯的隊伍吧!原本官方預設給的隊長是[Zekken]，而他看我有當過今年4DM的隊長於是就被隊長給了我，一個有趣的事實是好像全部的16隊只有我是C組的隊長，然後我們的隊名叫做Kamisato Lemon，並做了一個相當炫砲的隊徽，我的隊友相當有創意。

接下來是資格賽，比較讓我意外的是A組沒有人會打SV，尤其是Nikorofanboy，刻板印象讓我覺得日本人就應該會打SV阿lol，但沒有關係反正我們隊還是有湊齊三個打SV的，正式打的時候我打得稀爛，尤其是SV掉了不少分，中間還有shice2566因為一些原因中途離開，最後我們資格賽收在第9名，一個正中間的位置。

接下來就是正賽了，我們在ro16以4:5輸給了Pixel 7，QF 6:0贏了SKIBIDI Archive，最後SF 3:6輸給了Play Robeats，我前兩場比賽是在的，比賽也其實都沒什麼特別需要紀錄的，第一場就是我們選SV/LN對面選RC/HB，我們很不幸的從4:1領先被逆轉，我覺得有很大的原因是因為我們隊的我跟[Zekken]上場都會緊張然後成績會掉很多，不過同時Fr05tyGD是一個可以在比賽中超常發揮的選手，因此我們還是打到了TB。第二場就是沒什麼好說因為對面的C組每一張的成績都偏低所以我們很輕鬆地完成橫掃，而最後一場我因為參加營隊的原因不在場，但是我看圖很像很難，我隊友們還能贏下3分真的很不錯了。

好了，接下來是我從這個比賽學習到的地方，身為隊長，我覺得要組織一個完全隨機組成的隊伍不是一件容易的事，最難的事情應該就是要協調每個禮拜的比賽時間，我的隊友大部分都有很快地告訴我當周有空的時間，除了一個人叫做Nikorofanboy。我實在是很不想罵人，但是我覺得他身為一個團隊比賽的選手有點太誇張，他在第一週我排資格賽時間的時候就已經在一個很晚的時間才回報有空的時間，而他從正賽開始之後就再也沒有在賽場上出現過，ro16的時候他在賽後才跟我說他感冒不舒服，之後則是徹底都沒出現，DC他沒講過半句話，也不填有空的時間，就這樣人間蒸發了。你不能到場如果有合理原因我當然可以理解，好歹解釋一下嘛，像我第三場沒空我早在比賽開始的兩個禮拜前就跟我隊友說了，我覺得這其實不是一件很難的事情。而且他是真的完全沒有空嗎?我不這麼認為，因為我在twitter上看到他還參與了甚麼SKST的show match。也許他可能從組完隊那一刻就覺得我們這隊沒什麼希望之後就不出現了吧?我只能說他這種行為真的不太好，反正希望他下次能改進吧。

最後，我覺得這個辦這個比賽的想法很好，工作人員都很用心，圖池也很棒，希望可以繼續辦下去，我也在這個比賽認識了我的隊友，也加到了好友。如果我有報下一屆比賽的話，希望可以挑戰個比較靠前的名次。

This time, the competition involved random team assignments. The top 96 players with the highest PP among the registered participants were eligible to enter the competition. As the registration deadline approached, some players began rapidly increasing their PP. I was securely within the top 96, but just about an hour before the deadline, Fewesf9 informed me that I had been pushed out of the top 96. I quickly worked to raise my PP again, though in hindsight, it might not have been necessary since some players didn’t pass the official screening.

The team assignments followed a formula designed to “fairly” evaluate each player’s strength, after which players were categorized into A, B, or C tiers. Unsurprisingly, I was placed in Group C. However, I noticed that many players were misclassified—some were overestimated, and others underestimated. Unfortunately, as long as derankers exist, such issues are unavoidable.

Each team was randomly composed of two A-tier, two B-tier, and two C-tier players. Strangely enough, I was paired with my 4DM teammate, Shice2566, who was in Group B. My two A-tier teammates were [Zekken] and Nikorofanboy, and the other two members were Mrfoap from Group B and Fr05tyGD from Group C. Given the tournament format, success heavily depended on the performance of the C-tier players. I checked out Fr05tyGD and saw that he had a good balance, and I could handle SV (Slide Velocity). Shice2566 was also an excellent B-tier player. Although I didn’t know much about the others, it seemed we had a pretty decent team! Originally, the official captain was [Zekken], but since I had been the captain for this year’s 4DM, he passed the role to me. Interestingly, I was the only C-tier captain among the 16 teams. Our team name was Kamisato Lemon, and we created a flashy team emblem. My teammates were very creative.

Next was the qualifier round. To my surprise, none of the A-tier players could play SV, especially Nikorofanboy. The stereotype led me to assume that Japanese players would naturally be good at SV, lol. But it didn’t matter since our team still managed to field three SV players. When the qualifiers started, I performed poorly, especially in SV, where I lost quite a few points. Midway through, Shice2566 had to leave due to some reasons, and we ended up finishing 9th in the qualifiers, right in the middle.

Next came the main tournament. In the Round of 16 (Ro16), we lost 4:5 to Pixel 7, won 6:0 against SKIBIDI Archive in the Quarterfinals (QF), and finally lost 3:6 to Play Robeats in the Semifinals (SF). I participated in the first two matches. There wasn’t much to note in those matches. In the first one, we chose SV/LN, while the opponent chose RC/HB. Unfortunately, we were reverse-swept from a 4:1 lead. I think a big reason was that both [Zekken] and I got nervous, and our performance dropped significantly. However, at the same time, Fr05tyGD was a player capable of performing exceptionally well in matches, which allowed us to reach the TB. In the second match, there wasn’t much to say since the opponent’s C-tier players scored low on every map, so we easily secured a sweep. I wasn’t present for the last match due to attending a camp, but judging from the results, the maps looked tough. I’m really impressed that my teammates managed to win 3 points.

Now, on to what I learned from this tournament. As a captain, I realized that organizing a completely random team isn’t easy. The most challenging part was coordinating the match times each week. Most of my teammates quickly informed me of their availability each week, except for one person, Nikorofanboy. I really don’t like to criticize, but I think he was a bit too irresponsible as a team player. During the first week, when I was scheduling the qualifier time, he reported his availability very late, and after the main tournament started, he never appeared on the field again. After the Ro16 match, he told me he wasn’t feeling well due to a cold, and then he completely disappeared. He didn’t say a word in the Discord chat or fill in his availability, essentially vanishing into thin air. If you can’t attend for a valid reason, I can understand, but at least explain it. For example, I couldn’t participate in the third match, but I informed my teammates two weeks before the match. I don’t think that’s too difficult to do. And was he really unavailable? I don’t think so because I saw on Twitter that he participated in some SKST show match. Maybe he decided our team had no chance from the moment it was formed, so he didn’t show up? All I can say is that this behavior isn’t great, and I hope he improves next time.

In conclusion, I think the idea of organizing this tournament was great. The staff were dedicated, and the map pool was excellent. I hope it continues in the future. I also got to know my teammates and made some friends. If I join the next tournament, I hope to aim for a higher rank.
