Hey all! TCO 2018 algorithm onsite kicks off tomorrow with two semifinal rounds. Round 1 begins at 12:45 CST and round 2 begins at 18:45 CST. See who's in each semi here. Which pool looks tougher?
Lewin and I will be commentating both rounds live at the official broadcast on Twitch. Swing by to watch the rounds with us! We'll be talking through the problems and watching the scoreboard and will finish each round with a post-match interview of some of the contestants. See you there -- let us know who you want to see advance to the finals!
I really hope ksun48 advances, even though that semifinal is BY FAR the harder group!
As they would say on Reddit, "username checks out" :) GLHF!
Reminder that the stream will start soon! We will try to provide problem statements during the round.
Let us know if you have any questions, and we'll monitor the stream and answer them. We will also be holding a post contest interview with Egor and Errichto, so post any questions you want us to ask them here (or on stream).

Predicted this yesterday lol (time is in UTC + 8)
bet365 should (probably) have a betting pool for competitive programming.
Do we have something like this these days?
