:o

wtf

galang is really nice :)

yeh, 0-7 to 14-7 on Tox is pretty devastating

VERY phun replays, all of them =D but especially Galang, I agree

wp j4rno, knew you could do it :D

didnt watch the fleet demos, but the galang demo was great.. nice comeback by j4rno, very unexpected

The Fleet demos are great, very tight rails by both players. He (Jarno) certainly plays Toxic well. However the second map Toxic has Jarno's card and in a close game takes the win. Galang however was the highlight of the pack :)

It was quite obvious tbh. Toxic is yesterday's news :o)

yeah well isn't he supposed to be 'taking a break.'
so I guess that's the whole idea.

dude, next cpl is in 3 months or so, you'd expect a topplayer to be in his best shape atm. ?

Nah, you would want to be at your best/most focused a week before the event even the day of if at all possible, 3 months is tons of time to work on the mental focus part of it I would imagine. Especially if you just play all day and dont have real life shit to worry about. :p

omg@ 3:55 rail by j4rno

The best two games of 1 on 1 Counterstrike I've ever seen on Fleet.

Wow. j4rno had crazy rail on that broken map.

yep, high skilled players flirting with the new and shiny game - but don't worry, I think you hid your jealousy well ;P

seems like jarno managed to beat toxics style. time all items and hit half the rails he does and youll be just fine. about time id say. lets play quake again now.

about time?

people did it to him in q3, coollers done it in q4 already.... :)

brain > aim

so what do you aim with? :oo

luck

but luck is skill and skill is brain and brain is aim! zomg!

Toxic's fallen from grace.

Was this played in q4max .71? When I try to load the demos, either these or the chase from clanbase, it won't load and says "missing 1 pak files from initial demo recording."

I've been able to play all the other ECXII demos.

All I can say, if it worked even for me, it cannot be bad! Did you use one of those .exe democasts that modifies your demo_enforceFS setting to 0?

do you have Monsoon Release Candidate 1 (l4dm2_rc1)?

je, and still missing 1 file :<

Maybe you're missing "fps-ctf-mappack.pk4"?

That was it for me anyway.

You're right Happy-Howard. "fps-ctf-mappack.pk4" turns out to be the pack I'm missing. Thx

probably the best galang demo ive ever watched.

Toxics prediction at the start was outstanding, he just constantly knew where jarno was the entire map. Fantastic comeback by jarno to take it though.

Did anyone else notice jarnos total reluctance to use / collect shaft? missed out on a good many spawn frags on fleet cuz all he had was rail and rox.

Now that you mentioned.. perhaps. But just a hunch, maybe he figured "when things get down to LG vs LG against Toxic, it's already too late." :D

Yeah I did, and he's not the only person I've observed that has avoided the LG 100% in an entire match on Fleet.

He did use it a few times on Galang though, and seems to be pretty good at it as well.

Why didn't he use it? Because he really really likes Counter-Strike.

I don't find shaft useful in fleet, too easy to strafe behind corners and spam rl/rail. But in some situations it might be more effective than rail/rl ;)

well done jarno :=)

Might be one of the best galang demos out there but honestly all it really shows is what an awful designed map galang is (atm). I'm saying this despite me actually liking 'spawnraping' but those spawns seriously need some instant fixing.

J4rno does his run-n-rail thing until he finally gets the kill and then turns the game around by simply:
- turning around and pointing the rail at the next spawn
- waiting for tox to spawn and getting that rail in & hunting him down
- turning around and pointing the rail at the next spawn
- waiting for tox to spawn and getting that rail in & hunting him down
- etc....................

After he got enough kills he returns to the run-n-rail 'strategy'.

tru! galang is shit map.

Excellent! Why isn't J4rno in the GGL's Top 100 list???

Because he hasn't played in any big lan competitions in the year 2005?

Yeah. Same situation with Zero4 and Akiles (two of my favorite Q3 players, ever) I assume.

But this j4rno looks great in his game style.

Because he hasn't got enough competition results i would guess?

He was serving in the military last year so he hasnt been in any lans or competitions.

nice games jarno! /me fan =)
btw, is it possible to upload your demos from your game vs ooze?

i haven't even seen the demo, nor heard of j4rno. but im willing to sacrifice this goat on his behalf!
-kojima

Hrm.. j4rno likes goats tho..

"he saw an animal... he didn't know what it was, but it looked good to eat" (c) The Gods must be Crazy :)

First two demos were typical lame Fleet stuff byt that last demo was a cracker - best Q4 demo I've seen so far.

looks to me after taking a look on these demos.. toxic looks very unserious on galang :\ he is just attacking ..

I think its more a question of frustration at J4rno's long run of frags and his own lack of map control. I didnt think toxic looked particularly strong on any of the maps here. Could be because of how well J4rno played who knows. ggs

guess what, TOXIC = SHIT thats it

I'm thinking he would still destroy most people here. Especially the ones that call him shit.

Maybe this wasn't exactly the same Toxic who's gonna rape in next high profile LAN, but he's by no means magically just shit all of sudden!

so?

that doen't mean he can't judge. It's like rating a movie then somoene saying, "you couldn't make a movie!!! like Hitchcock!!".

guess what? you = IDIOT

I agree when the score is 7-0 toxic seems to just completely reliquish map control without a fight... from then on it's all j4nro...

Still j4rno played great in all 3 maps... be interesting to see how far he can go

i very much enjoyed watching j4rno play. unlike most other players he is not only running patterns, but adepts to each situation. reminds me kinda like czm or zero4 played...
and well, some killer rail shots of course...

gg, finn for the winn ;) except nobody's gonna win anything from the loser bracket i'm afraid :(

The winner of the loser bracket takes it up against the #2 of the Winners bracket, to determine who's the 2nd person to go to the lan finals ;)

so the winner of the LB faces #2 on equal terms? ok then :)

My favorite part was:
sk.tox:
I GOT
LG SOUND
j4rno:
:D

it's actually shaft sound and he didn't say two lines in one go but yeah.

nope, 2 lines

So very, very annoying

Do s_restart to fix it. Freezes you for a second or two though, so hide if you're in game.

I was gonna see if I could bind it to a button as I got it all the time...instead I just uninstalled Quake4, problem solved :-D

your sound bugs are no-think on-line.

your lg bugs are nothink on-line!

game is broken..Finland defeated sweden, has to be a bug or something

brain > aim? =p

What's with this brain>aim ?

Surely brain leads to aim? Most of these original tdm pros have made a very successfull transition from tdm to 1v1; if you develop aim related skillz faster than others i see no reason why that should not apply generally and thus to 1v1 skill -- yeah perhaps their aiming ain't on par with their 1v1 thinking relative to the norm within the duelers, but i still think the same talent applies.

/rant

yeah, i was only slightly joking. hoped for more flame tho =\.
and I think toxic played a bit too much forward + attack, surely on galang imo.

my favourit q4 demo till now, the galang match. nearly q3ish, somehow it
felt like watching a thrillin ztn demo. luv this
