What is up guys, my name is Poised, and damn…
I'm very sorry for the absence of osu! Alert.
I've wanted to get this series going again for a long time now, but it has been a hard battle.
unfortunately two thirds of the core osu!
Alert team is leaving Circle People.
Those two thirds being Josh and Raito.
Now some of you may not know Josh, because he has never really talked in any videos.
But he was by far one of the most active staff members in Circle People, and also the co-manager
of osu! Alert.
Now before we start with the actual episode, we have a little voice note from Raito.
Hi everyone, raito here. To put it short, I'm going to step down from osu alert.
Between everything that is already on my plate, I feel like this is in the best for me to focus on my own personal life
I am more than grateful for the support everyone has shown me throughtout my whole time here and I definitely feel the love of the community everytime we upload
As for my channel, it's still gonna be there. I have ideas here and there, but I'm not forcing anyone to subscribe to my own channel, so do as you want with that.
Anyways, I would love to be back one day again, and I most likely will. So as peppy would say, see you next time.
I'm very sad to see them both go, but unfortunately life is more important than circles.
But enough sadness and apologies, as you may understand we're looking to expand our osu!
Alert team, so if you believe you're good at finding news and scores, and would want
to help us out, Make sure to join the discord in the description!
Now let's start this episode!
[Play intro]
Just so you know, this will be one heck of a long episode.
So we'll start by doing some rapidfire news going all the way back to the last episode we did.
Then we'll do some more in depth news for the bigger and more recent ones!
Okay so let's start.
For the first time in nearly 5 years, hvick is no longer in top10!
Mania world cup 2018 has ended, and south korea won!
Congrats to them !
Reddit user "hawku" put a bunch of tablets in a 3d printer and tested them with their
different drivers!
So now you can see which tablet and which driver is the most responsive!
The Same user has also created custom tablet drivers, that a lot of top players are praising
as they seem to decrease latency greatly!
Peppy released a new gameplay update, which lowers HP drain while spinning.
This means that you now can pass maps such as Mendes with Hardrock!
User Dmitch1 went through the happystick interview with dr levi, and made a ton of easy to see
and use gifs for different stretches you should do to not hurt yourself!
Top player Fayeurs admitted to being a cheater, and had his account rolled back.
And speaking of bans, firedigger, you know the guy that analyzed legendre's 900pp play
and said it seemed legit.
Has now been banned from bancho…
Abyssal has been unbanned, and almost immediately set some cool scores, and also joined the
Circle People team as an uploader.
Thanks Abyss!
Camellia is apparently planning to make a remix of the big black… sounds interesting….
Next is that all of Helblindes songs are now free to download, forever.
Amazing.
Continuing with artists we have a new featured artist called Trail & error, welcome to the osu! community!
You can now see star rating in osu!
Direct, yayy!
The tillerino bot that we all use and love has gotten itself a patreon page
And that was all for the rapidfire news, now let's go into the little bigger ones.
And oh, right, you remember firedigger?
He's also the community manager of an osu! Private server.
While streaming on twitch firedigger admitted to having used hardware ID information from
players on his private server to target them and have them banned on Bancho.
There is a lot more to this situation, so if you're interested I'd urge you to read
the link in description.
For now I personally wouldn't recommend anyone to play on private servers.
As there seems to be pretty great risks involved.
Next we have a few related to Circle People.
Circle people has merged with the ex-Skins Staff, and this could mean some great things
for those of you who want to learn how to skin in the future ;)
A big thanks to both Tayo and Melon who have helped develop some New GFXs designs for us.
which can be seen all around our social medias!
Next we have one that is related to us, but at the same time isn't really.
The Cookiezi 800pp Freedom Dive video hit over 1 million views!
It's now almost 1 and a half year since we uploaded that video, and it is now part
of a very small group of osu!
Videos that have the privilege of having been viewed over 1 million times!
There is now quite a lot of comments talking about it reaching 1 million views, and there
was also a thread created on the osugame subreddit about it.
Unfortunately it quickly turned sour as there still are quite a lot of people that disagree
with what we do on this channel.
I personally answered a lot of questions and wrote a lot of walls of texts about different
controversies.
So if you've ever wanted to know the details about how CP money, getting top players permissions,
speeduploader competition and everything else that can be deemed controversial works.
Just head over there and read my wall of texts.
Rafis has taken the #1 spot from Cookiezi, finally dethroning him after the 1 year and
4 months he spent as #1 after taking the spot on the 23rd of October 2016.
There seems to be some very exciting times coming, as the top is starting to have more
and more people that can be competitive for the #1
Next up we'll talk a bit about the pp system.
Because currently it's kinda on fire, and everyone are mad.
Peppy did a quick Survey on twitter, asking what people's opinion is on the whole PP
system, and it ended up with 61% wanting to keep pp, and 39% wishing it got removed.
So there have been quite a lot of discussion, especially about a "pp nerf" which is
a proposal that would lower the pp of a score if the map has less than 500 objects.
This proposal started quite a lot of great discussion which I would urge anyone interested
to go read.
Peppy have publicly said that a pp balancing change needs to happen, but that there's
currently a huge lack of resources to actually make it happen.
There was also a suggestion to split pp up into different categories like "aim pp,
stamina pp, reading pp, etc".
And to this suggestion peppy replied "eventually".
So there is a lot of change planned for the future, but I guess we'll have to wait until
after the release of lazer before we'll actually see this being worked on more actively.
What's your opinion on the PP system?
Are there any specific changes you would like to see?
Comment down below!
Continuing the talk about the future of osu!.
The new version of the osu!
Website is getting closer and closer to replacing the old completely.
There's now also a cute new button in the lower left corner whenever you're on the
website, which will let you switch between old and new easily.
If there is anything you find to be wrong or missing on the new site, you're urged
to let the osu!
Staff know asap!
What's your opinion on the new website?
Click the little "i" in the top right corner and leave your vote!
Next up, there's a very big osu! event happening, hosted by cavoeboy in the Netherlands, more
specifically in Panningen.
Which if you've never heard of, lies right between Düsseldorf and Eindhoven.
It will start the 20th July and then go for 10 days until the 29th of July.
This is the second year this event is running, last year it had around 150 visitors and this
year they're going way bigger, with a goal of 2,000 visitors!
And we in CP staff might be coming too! but if I'm not enough for you there are also top
players like -GN and WubWoofWolf coming!
The event will feature a 6000 square meter big space, with a play area for LAN, a stage
area for tournaments, a food area, a sleep area, and a vip area for all of the top players coming!
So if you're interested in this event, make sure to check their website, and also join
their discord!
Hope to see you there!

Catch play of this episode, Exgon ssing der walk with Hidden, getting number 1 on the
map.
And this score would have been 5389pp if it werent loved.
Then we have Cookiezi getting 2 misses on the 9.14 star map Preserved Valkyria with
hidden hardrock.
If the map was ranked this score would have been 713pp, and if it was an fc it would have
been worth 905pp

with hidden hardrock.
Getting a 132x combo and 31x misses!
Then we have osu player84 getting 715pp on the map datte atashi no hero with hidden doubletime.

848pp on Sunglow Melody with hidden doubletime.

Now we have 2 very streamy scores by idke, first being his 762pp score on xi halcyon
one dimension with hardrock, unfortunately he got 1 sliderbreak, without that this score
would have been 810pp His second score is also on another xi map,
this time the well known blue zenit four dimensions, with hardrock, no memes here though as he
got 711pp.
Next up is a score by rafis on panda eyes ILY with hidden doubletime, which is a 9.04

Even with 3 misses he manages to get 646pp , if it weren't for the misses Rafis would
have gotten 928pp from this play.
Then we have 2 scores by vaxei, yess, the bacon boi is back!
First one being his unbelievable FC on Shinzou o sasageyo with dt.
The score unfortunately only gave 610pp, but believe me, it really is amazing.

with dt, where he got 728pp.
The last 2 scores of this episode are both by -GN, With the first one being his mind
boggling FC on Polygon Bonzi's Ultra with the easy mod.
