I'm happy to present you my latest project that I've been working on for years. It features the swedish player

Kiddy in some awesome DeFRaG runs. This movie had been planned for a few years, I've learnt many things about moviemaking during that time and this is the end result.

On this particular film, we focused on making the runs clear and using 3rd person cams smartly, so that it isn't overedited.
Every single run here is done in CPM physics, except the q3wcp17 one, which is VQ3. I have nothing else to add, just judge by yourselves =)

"Hi everybody! My name is Aleksey. Beginning with February 2013 I am sponsoring the 125 FPS QuakeLive League (http://125fps.com) and provide almost all of the prize money from my own pocket. Why do I do this? Because like many of us I played the first Quake and even Duke Nukem)) on lan during my childhood. Time goes by and Im a grown-up man now with all the obligations that come along with it. Yet still I want the Quake community to flourish and reward me and all fans of the game with great matches, tournaments, reports etc.
When there are no tournaments with prize money the interest of players and fans decreases and thats what Im trying to combat. Im sure Im not the only one. The community has a lot of adult, successful people, as well as many young people who fell in love with the game.
I want to ask the community to help build on the foundation I and the 125fps team have laid and increase the prizes in the coming leagues. Fundraising is nothing new and is employed to collect funds for all kinds of events. Im sure that many of you will be happy to chip in a sum thats admissible for yourselves and even happier to follow the tournament you yourself made a contribution to!
Below are various ways to donate money for prize funds of 125fps.com leagues.
The reputation of the 125fps leagues guarantees for a fair distribution of funds. I myself will continue to contribute about 31500p(~1000$) every month.
I propose the following prize money distribution (31500RUR + donations)
<>
15% of the donations will go towards the organization and coverage of the league, in particular recruitment of streamers.
Additionally I suggest limiting the prize pool of every league by 3500$. If there is more than 2500$ worth of donations the surplus funds get transfered to the next league. The biggest donators will be listed below every leagues prize pool (voluntary).
The fundraising will start with the announcement of the next league."

Polosatiy vs Lakerman - english VOD (197 comments)

( Major News: Q3)

Posted by Polosatiy @ 07:46 CDT, 27 October 2013 - iMsg

Hi all, guys! I hope you enjoy my english commentary of my first VOD Polosatiy vs. Lakerman I did yesterday. Actually its more interesting than russian version because has more history (after simple translate I got a lot of space to fill).

About match... Its loser bracket final of CPL Cologne 2000, map ztn3dm1. The idea was not just to commentary the fight... I'd like to come back to old time and tell some inside stories, also analyze some tactic things...

Next time I will try the Q3MME but now it doesn't work for me, I don't know why... I'm waiting for your replies to make next videos better, I mean video and config settings. Thank you!
