depends what you mean by far. if you mean best 16 or best 8, 2/16 or 2/8 is quite an accomplishment already... -
Date: Mon, Dec 6 2010 02:32:19
By far I mean passing 2 or more rounds.
-
Date: Mon, Dec 6 2010 02:36:42
2nd round is top 32 3rd round is top 16 so yeah.... we have probably 3 or 4 guys who can pass 1st round. not sure about the 2nd round tho but just making it to the 2nd round is a huge accomplishment because a lot of spinners are gonna be eliminated there

Yeah, about 16 of them. Making or not making the 2nd round though, is not the best indicator of how well you did. What if you went out in round 1 to the eventual winner? -
Date: Mon, Dec 6 2010 02:47:28
Isn't round 1 this wt essentially pools? Getting past just round 1 is already one hell of an accomplishment, unless you have stupid luck.

correct. first round is pool so its not really an indicator since groups will be eventually distributed. furthermore, 2nd round is seeded according to result of first round. the factor luck is definitely being reduced compared to previous rounds, therefore the round you finish at is a more relevant indicator. -

HELL YES RAIEK <3 -
Date: Thu, Dec 16 2010 04:07:24
FPSB seems to have a pretty good team, but it seems like the lower level spinners are pretty far away from the top level spinners. I could be wrong though, I haven't seen these spinners in a while.
-
Date: Thu, Dec 16 2010 04:12:53
I think everyone is at a pretty high level in that team, but I'm judging based off of fpsb's collab. As it stands now, fpsb and thpsc spinners will be filling up the brackets.

Great disappoint not seeing Dongza in WT...but it's great to see Answer again ^^ Btw, if someone wants to take a look, it has been updated the list in Spin Along with a Solo video of every spinner registered in the WT so far (some of them don't have, so we linked his channel or some combo).

Well, the main idea of THPSC was to send the newer generation into the stage. Both Spinnerpeem and Supawit weren't even going to be in the roster at first, as they had agreed about the idea as well. But eventually they made it to the roster due to the reason that THPSC still want to have more chance of being the 1st place. And I have to agreed that the selection system sucks. =/ Not totally accurate and varied enough. But I guess that'll still be the final roster. -
Date: Sat, Dec 25 2010 23:17:22
Well, if the reason is that at least I am able to understand it a little bit better...but I still dislike the system. I think it is nice to let the new generations flow (I have talked about this too much today :P), but according to the THPSC ranking...I understand nothing lol :P I'll wait for the final roster, in case there is any. Love to see kr4zy is going to take part in WT11, he's one of my favourite spinners <3
-
Date: Sun, Dec 26 2010 00:03:05
@Enkronidus for a WC I think it's ok to use a different set of spinners, but for a WT it's wrong, you should pick the best spinners you have. it is an individual tournament and the best spinners should participate
-

Okay, I've asked the reason from the THPSC members. Dongza is currently studying in high school and he'll have to entrance to university soon. So he's not totally free to film at all. Public Voting System wasn't the best way indeed. But that roster is probably the best line-up available for us, anyways. Only Dongza and Tigeroat were missing, but with reasonable cause. -

ok if dongza is too busy to participate, thats a different story. but if he was denied when he was able, then its unfair.

How the heck do you guys want to add three more spinners right now? Lol Spots were allocated in November, if you wanted more, you should have asked more. Anyways, imo, 4 spots is a [B]very[/B] good number of spots for a community like PPSC. 8 would be far too much and, no offense, but I don't think that PPSC have 8 world elite spinners.

Thats stupid. Defeating easy opponents is certainly not fun. I'd rather go up against someone challenging and my level that would take me a couple of weeks to think of a combo good enough to match theirs than not try at all knowing I'll still win. This is the WT, there should be no easy opponents. <_<

I don't know. This lineup sure looks stronger than JapEn6th. I'm just worried about ASIn, because his camera is crappy. ctionist, I kinda knew he would be in, but he lacks control. fff, I wouldn't underrate him. He's pretty legit. And the last 5 of the lineup are all of JEB's best... so it's looking good. I'm just glad they decided not to put in spinners like Iris or kururiasu because they are so good, but just too style oriented, which doesn't really help in something like the WT. I mean, their spinning won't be appreciated as much with the judging rubric that they use. As a side note, I've noticed that both HAL and Sister_R weren't in initially, and they both didn't have the 'submitted' symbol next to their name on the JEB forum, so I'm guessing they really didn't submit a video.

Decent? I'd say it's not only better than expected (given that HAL and Sister_R didn't submit a video) but also one of the strongest in the tournament besides THPSC, UPSB and FPSB. -
Date: Sun, Jan 9 2011 19:21:52
well i dunno, I think the JEB lineup should be mostly considered of SPSL spinners, since they appear to be active so it should be feasible in theory. this is not really that... I hold JEB to a very high standard, these would be their 2nd tier spinners i think, except maybe ponkotu.

What is your ideal JEB lineup? Or rather, what are some spinners that you consider to be their top tier? -
Date: Sun, Jan 9 2011 19:28:47
some notable omissions that i think would have been feasible include scissor's kuzu makin enot mesi... edit: I don't want to be negative. The current JEB lineup is fine. Let's focus on the talent we do have in the tournament, not the ones that are not in it ;)

When are the wildcard spinners going to be announced?
-
Date: Sun, Jan 9 2011 22:49:38
Top 5 strongest communities 1. [B]UPSB[/B] It's going to be close between UPSB + FPSB, but with the advent of Baaron and vicgotgame (and everyone else!), I'm sure we can place at least one person into the finals and win it. 2. [B]FPSB[/B] FPSB has a beast lineup, but they're probably hounded by the fact that a lot of those spinners are heralds of an older age and might not make it as far. 3. [B]THPSC[/B] THPSC has a very decent chance, thanks to Supawit and Spinnerpeem and BaiMai. They proved last year they have more than power tricks, and I'm interested to see how the power trickers will handle this years tournament, especially since power tricks alone will not win the tournament. 4. [B]JEB[/B] I'm glad JEB brought along ponkotu. I don't think ponkotu will win it, seeing how he and BaiMai ran out of steam toward then end of the World Cup. The rest of the JEB lineup is pretty decent. 5. [B]TWPS[/B] Rex, Evo, x1213, Joey are all nice powerhouses for TWPS. I'm putting my bets on Rex to make it the farthest.

later during the week, i want to make sure we get the best spinners available. ----------- BPSC: all the active big guns are here, I'm interested in Kr4zy. BRPSB: don't know much about them, they had a tournament this year, won by Sanozucke. I think they should take this WT as a learning practice, they are still very young. FPSB: their search was pretty extensive and they pretty much got the best lineup possible, even better than initially expected with Fratleym coming back. This year will be very good for them. s777 might be the #1 favorite to win. GPC: GPC is banking on some unknown spinners like Clay and Sponge, which they think are better suited to the judging criteria. Minwoo back is a nice surprise. I hope kirua and Der Dane can show their full potential. HKPSA: kin is a contender for the throne here. not too familiar with the others, hope Tony got a better camera... JEB: Much has been said about this lineup. I am satisfied, but will continue to work with them to try and improve it before the start of the tournament. KPSA: Very small lineup but possibly the best they could manage given their limited resources. Tose is a dark horse here. LPSA: Not too sure what to expect here in terms of results... MyPSC: Very nice surprise to see ellusion67 in this, I wish him good luck NLPSC: Very young board, nothing to lose, just hope for the best PPP: Selection consists of young spinners with high potential, we will see how they develop during the tournament. PPSC: Really no idea about any of their spinners, but they seem very confident in their abilities.... PSH: Answer coming back is a big boost, the others are young spinners. SPC: Steen-J is a veteran now, not sure about the other SPSB: Aborrol is a solid spinner for quite some time now, we'll see what happens SPSC: Freeman is one of my favorites, I hope he does well here. THPSC: Peem comes in undefeated in international competitions for the last two year. Supawit has the opportunity to outperform peem too. TWPS: Very good lineup, Rex is a very strong spinner that must establish himself on the international competition scene. UPSB: Pretty much the best lineup possible at this time, the performance of Baaron will be key. ------- 2 wild cards awarded: http://www.worldpenspinning.com/?p=263

Date: Mon, Jan 10 2011 06:31:05
here are my thoughts: strongest board here is FPSB. They have benefits of having veterans like Fratleym and Gollumsk8, the always impressive a13x as well as probably the #1 Seed s777. domtom, annikis, smile, raiek AMAZING spinners. dont underestimate them either. my second favourite lineup is TWPS. people tend to forget about this board :/ its never really mentioned...but TWPS has always been active in psning and always have a busy community. What a great lineup. A13x and Joey are veterans, and show skill and style. Rex is an amazing spinner, people should try to forget about TWPS. UPSB is my third choice. EK has alwasy been a leading force in psning, and he has changed his style a lot in the past year or so. EK can spin from slow pace, to moderate to a face paced combo. EK has a a great chance of winning WT ;]. Best of luck ill be rooting for you too. VIC is a spinner who is also a veteran, and i think VIC deserves the attention of also having one of hte highest chances to win it. no need to mention anymore about vic, everyone knows his abilities are way above the cut off bar for WT standard ;]. PEN NINJA PENNINAJ PENENINAJJ . ROX the WORLD!!!! its like skill and magic has married yo0ur hands! GO AUSTRALIA! Jammie, baaron, and awon best of luck to you guys too. Its a shame we dont talk that much i love your guy's ss styles !!!! You really are UPSB finest. THPSC. Right im kinda over everyone saying supawit is better than peem. i actually feel kinda bad for peem right now. D; Everyone is always saying supa > peem which can be justified. but peem is always inventing the new tricks, peem is very creativie in that regard wher as supa will simply map it or perfect it. also things like "will peem defend his title" pole while intersting ...is also kinda harsh. D; peem just wants to be peem. Hes never bragging or anything. I admit i was once there where i didnt ilke peem at all. but i dont anymore. k thats it.
-
Date: Mon, Jan 10 2011 07:12:23
peem said on THPSC he wants to spin for himself iirc (not sure, internet translators suck), but he didn't seem to be fazed by the judging criteria giving him like a 10-13/20 (i think he can get up to 15/20, but that is irrelevant) eriror and vic will carry for UPSB xD FPSB team is extremely strong, but it seems in some teams the lower ranked spinners may not fare that well according to the suggested judging criteria...but then again, i don't think i know much about this kind of stuff XD looking forward to seeing ponkotu, minwoo, eriror, s777, supa, peem, HAL, gollumsk8, kin etc spin, haven't seen recent material from many of the 'gods' in a while -.-
-
Date: Mon, Jan 10 2011 07:49:45
Bored so here's my 2 cents. I'm 90% sure that finals will be between two of these spinners: s777, Vic, Peem, Supawit. Other spinners who I think might have some kind of shot at finals are: ponkotu, kin, gollumsk8, possibly Minwoo (I haven't seen anything recent from him), and maybe remotely Rex 7/8 of FPSB's spinners will make it past the first round. 4/7 of UPSB's spinners will make it past the first round. Why are Metal and Shinrao in the wt? They should be collab superstars, not wt participants. :( 4/7 of TWPS will make it past round 1. PSH will be the dark horse. 8/11 of JEB will advance. They're strong, but none of them barring Ponkotu has a chance at making it to finals imo. Edit: Accommodating tournament changes and after understanding that about 1/3 advance to round 2

[spoiler='opinionz']BPSC: Pretty strong line-up. The only one I really like is kr4zy, he has a crazy smoothness but he has to work on the lenght of his combos. BRPSB: Watch out ~L~. If he does what he is able to do, he will surprise a lot of people :) FPSB: One of the strongest line-ups ever. I love Smile, dOmToM and Raeik (please everyone, learn to spell his name lol). Imho, s777 will be the winner of this WT: Smoothness, execution, difficulty...probably best spinner out there. I want to see what Fratleym can show, too. Let's check how much has he improved :) GPC: Lol Clay, the ninja spinner. Let's see what he is able to do :) Also Minwoo is coming back, but I don't think he can be in the final again, just my opinion. HKPSA: Not a fan of any of them, but I'd say kin is gonna do great in this WT. In b4 Tony doing a 20 second finisher. JEB: 10 spinners, lol. Rooting for HAL and ponkotu. ASIn, Rhetoric, Takoya- and ctionist are 'young' spinners for a WT, though I like them. fff can be great too! People is gonna love ocha, but I hate the stage in where he is right now :/ KPSA: Meh. Not a fan >.< LPSA: Pretty much what Zombo said, not sure what to expect lol. Not a fan of their style, though. MySPC: I only know ellusion and it's not the kind of spinners I like. Pretty curious about the rest. PPP: Young line-up! Some of them are stylish (Fahrenheit, pruCe...) but maybe they need a bit more experience. PPSC: I don't know any of them lolz. PSH: Answer coming back *-* I hope its level is hiiigh as it was. SPC: Haven't seen anything from Steen-J for a long time. Kuli Kulur maybe too young. SPSB: I don't know Sly, I don't like Aborrol and Hamster :/ SPSC: What can I say about Freeman lol. Crazy creativity and difficulty, he will make this WT better in terms of creativity. JTS will catch people by surprise, pretty sure of it :) AzuL can do really great things too, he just needs to polish up his execution and presentation. Best of lucks for them ♥ THPSC: Peem, Supawit, BaiMai and Tonnam, that's THPSC for me in this WT. Supawit could win this WT too, for me, it's about s777 and him :P TWPS: Joey <3 The rest is ok, Rex has great skills too. UPSB: One of my favorite line-ups in this WT. Baaron, Eriror, Jamie and Vic <3 I think that 3 or 4/6 could make it through the first round.[/spoiler] And that's my humble opinion about the line-ups :D Good luck everyone!

That's a little bit unfair to give JEB 11 spots. I know, that some great spinners will participate in WT after Zombo's efforts and it'll be more competitive probably, but I don't like the way they got the spots. I have nothing against if any board wants to give away a spot, but taking 2 of 3 wildcard spots and give it only to one community is just promoting one board over any other. I'm sure that at least few boards would like to request for another spot. Unprofessional.
-
Date: Mon, Jan 10 2011 21:00:02
communication with jeb is not easy you know, and i think they have soooo much spinners able to do the wt that it's not really a problem giving them more than any other board... wildcards cases are under control don't worry i think all available (active/having time) pro-spinners are in the place, that is exciting.

i assure you that every legitimate requests for additional spots are being looked over right now, and I believe to have found a solution which will be satisfactory to everyone. i also made sure to ask boards with great spinners whether they want more spots. many boards said they were satisfied with their current numbers. the boards that could spare more spinners have contacted me and followed through the procedure. their requests are being evaluated. since this is an individual competiiton, the promotion should be for great spinners rather than the board they represent. so it is in the best interest of the tournament to ensure the best possible talent is gathered to increase the quality of the "show" i will announce the solution shortly, once I get it verified by a few more independent parties. -

No one is saying shit about hal, I say he'll make it pretty far. I know this sounds super fanboy, and everyone is talking about strong lineups like FPSB......but peem (and superwit) are really just on a whole nother level. Other than those 2, vic, EK, Minwoo, s777, kr4zy, and HAL all have a chance. EDIT: Zombo, give UPSB one more spot and give i.suk (or shonen) a chance please :)
-
Date: Mon, Jan 10 2011 21:42:54
I didn't mention HAL because I just don't see him beating the likes of Peem or Supawit. To me, he's the same sort of spinner as them, just with a hint of JEB style. Seeing that style plays a minimal role in judging, I left him out. Of course, I'm sure he will make it really far, just not finals. Ponkotu has a better chance IMO because his sort of spinning is different from the others. Oh, and Mesi mothafucka! <3

After this tournament there's gonna be another fuss over who's better peem or this year's champ.

sometimes they're not aware of the schedule of the tournament. if for example they have an exam only in february, maybe it falls under the judging period, so actually he doesn't have to worry about it. i just want to make sure peem makes the best informed decision. i made the same discussion with littleboy recently, trying work with his schedule. turn out it didn't fit so he can't participate sadly.But JEB gettin 11 spots...lol...if no one else requested it I guess that's that but if some other country requested a spot and u took JEB's request over it, I don't think dats fair ._.
no, because the 3 spots were created from "nothing". (96 to 99) -

@Zombo well i know they have been spinning at a pretty high level around march 07. so ive always assumed they must have started sometime in 06. They must have at least been spinning for 4 years... possibly 5 (if started early 06). imo thats verteran level. and if in the situation where peem does NOT participate... perhaps we can ask him to at least have a showman match, where the winner of WT11 will verse him in like a best out of 3 match. Like an official defend your title kind of thing. It will not mean that Peem will be champion if he wins, but at least everyone can enjoy a show. But perhaps WT11 champion will be all worn out by then.

sorry but I have no idea what this comment is referring too :dunno: the idea of an unofficial between peem and new champino is not bad, but it will likely be considered only after the tournament is over. -

That's very very very unfair in my opinion. Not only is there a huge advantage to peem (who wouldn't have had to compete and use his good stuff in the tourny), but it would have 2 implications A.If peem wins it hugely devalues the WT winner B.If peem even battles at all it means he wasn't too busy to battle and should have been in the WT C. The WT winner will feel obligated to battle even though it's unfair, because people will think lesser of him even though he just won the WT I don't have a problem with Peem backing out but if he backs out and then comes right back and challenges/battles the winner I think that's very very unfair actions on his part -
Date: Tue, Jan 11 2011 23:15:45
Something like this happened before, but for a yoyo competetition. The champion of worlds (forgot the year and name :/) didn't go for one year, and came back the next year packed with a whole lot new tricks. He bragged that he wanted to show everyone he could win the worlds any time he wanted to. I got a feeling Peem is doing something similar, but I could always be wrong.

@A.Sate peem isnt the bragging type...at least from what ive scene. its very common for psniners to be busy with other things like study, so im fairly sure he is telling the truth and isnt trying to brag that he is still the world champion.

Not only is there a huge advantage to peem (who wouldn't have had to compete and use his good stuff in the tourny), but it would have 2 implications A.If peem wins it hugely devalues the WT winner B.If peem even battles at all it means he wasn't too busy to battle and should have been in the WT C. The WT winner will feel obligated to battle even though it's unfair, because people will think lesser of him even though he just won the WT I don't have a problem with Peem backing out but if he backs out and then comes right back and challenges/battles the winner I think that's very very unfair actions on his part
we can just do it for fun you know -_- its obviously not part of the tournament... it can be done a few months later too as an exhibition event -

regardless of how it's billed all of the above things still apply call it exhibition all you want but it'll still be a battle between 2 of the best in the world, so people will look at it like "who's better" and A,B,and C all still apply

You're sure, but you're just speculating? Wha...? Also, I'm with strat on this one. -

itll be up for peem and the champ to decide if they want to do it. while A, and C may apply, i still dont see how B applies. i dont know how 5 to 6 rounds of spinning through a couple of months equate to a 1 or 2 matches done in a week or two for peem to handle with his school work. Peem will have the initial months to study and keep up rather than having a constant weight of comepting on his chest.

here are some quotes from peem to better understand his reasons "Thx you :D I will join when i'm ready" "I want time to pratice if i will join i can't be champion^^" "i will join next year because now i want time to pratice new style :D" I think he's just taking a break this year to come back stronger next year :)

that's disappointing. i think from now on, the previous winner is automatically submitted into the next tournament, then if they can't/don't want to compete they have to forfeit their matches people are a lot less likely to forfeit than just not sign up because honestly i think what happened this year is extremely poor taste and extremely disappointing.

peem quit so he already "forfeited" his title, dunno what more you want him to do, i cant just leave his spot open, thats unfair because the ppl who get seeded in his group get better chance.

i don't want anything from anybody, i'm just stating my personal opinion that it's in poor taste and poor sportsmanship to do what he's doing. if you disagree that's fine

so whats a valid reason for pulling out? injury? just lack of time is not enough?

Bullshit lack of time, can't most people film a good combo in less than 6 hours?? I think he has enough time for that. Like 36 hours over a several month time frame...bull shit he has no time. It's fucking highschool, its not that hard. -

kirby, calm your tits, let the guy do what he wants.

it sounds to me like he very well could compete, he just doesn't want to unless he knows he has enough time to win the whole tournament, which as the reigning champion is poor sportsmanship in my opinion. if he was going to be out of the country and literally could not film that's different, but he could he just doesn't want to because he doesn't want to lose again, just my opinion, nobody has to agree or disagree, that's just how i feel about the situation. -

@Kirby your acting so childish about this ]; . im not sure if your a peem fan or not, but right now you arnt really supporting him nor are you helping bringing him back. Your treating him like a bot, he is not going to want make combos and show it to people like you. and you dont know how long it takes people to tape combos. 6 hours can be a LOT out of a persons life taping a combo. you think its fun sitting down for 6 hours with a deadline knowing that if you dont try your absolute best all ur time would be wasted? minwoo apprently took 23 hours in total to do 1 combo. calm down kirby.

@spinnerpeem just wants to make another big impact on spinning i think. Leave the scene for a bit then come back to amaze people with many new things rather than releasing a new thing every now and again.

bro, I'm not really all that serious. I honestly couldn't give a fuck either way. hell, I'd rather supawit win. I just think that the whole "I can't find any time" thing is bullshit. -

There is nothing wrong with him not participating in this tournament. I don´t know why yall are thinking that this years winner wont be the best penspinner of the world... Since almost 4 years no one would have been able to say that someone is the best penspinner ,simply because there is no way of showing that someone is truly better than another one. If the judges do their job well enough they will find the penspinner who was able to fullfill the criteria given by Zombo (afaik execution, difficulty, creativity and presentation) the best, but they probably dont find the best penspinner.

I'm going to assume you've never had to record a string of serious combos, or even a serious combo before. -

There's no such thing as a best pen spinner. It is, however, possible to find the best spinner in the technical sense. In a tournament like this, one type of spinner will have an obvious advantage over another, and there's no getting around that. The judging system isn't perfect. It's impossible to objectify something as subjective as pen spinning. The WT is good entertainment value and a good way to bridge the different communities together. I don't think, however, the results should be taken so seriously.

@strat1227 ok i understand your position better, i thought you were talking about ppl pulling out when they really didnt have time to film
-
Date: Thu, Jan 13 2011 03:08:47
nah, clearly if you just literally can't film or you're in the middle of GRE's or something then that's understandable
