yeah, the structure, not the amount. concerning the structure however, i'd rather give the winner 2500 instead of 3500. often, 1st and 2nd place are split by only 2, 3 frags and the skill of these players is very close together - so why should 1st place get more than double

so? it's not like he's master of the universe because of that. often a player wins a tournament simply because better players didnt participate. and sometimes two weeks later there's another tourney and who won the previous tourney will only finish 3rd or 4th this time around. you know, there's something called "shape of the day"

3500$ 1st and 1500$ for second might be better than other tourneys, but it's still bullshit overall. tourney organizers only make the 1st prize so high because it makes it look like there's much cash in this tournament, making it easier to market and easier to attract players while in the end most players will walk away disappointed and maybe even with a net loss on their hands

4 days worth of QL for 9$ is good value for money :)

Shit, u can pay 10$ for 2hrs at a cinema to see a film that could end up being crap.

9$ for 4 days worth of viewing of awesome QL matchs is brill!

Plus im hoping the weekly shoot outs will continue again in the coming weeks!

Well, paying 9$ covers you for 3 months, so you'd even be able to watch the finals in march if you buy premium today, and all the stuff inbetween like weekly shows etc.

Definetly worth it anyway, support ql!

I asked if I could stream their low quality stream on lvl^ for a couple guys that couldn't watch because of octoshape, but wasn't allowed because of them wanting as many viewers as possible.
I can understand that but an alternative without using octoshit should be available then. :\

Well it wouldn't take away their viewers if you would just transmit their stream with their commentary, watermarks, whatever. I for one am angry at them (normal corporate firewall here - no Octoshit and no stream for me, and I've even registered on their dumb site). ESL is teh suck!

Those dirty fucktards, wanting money for the work they are doing so you can sit calmly, in your home, office, work cubicle, wherever the fuck you are watching a game you enjoy comfortably. What fucking pricks.

Don't whine about GTV, it's just not here right now. I'd like it too, it allows my demoviewing config to actually have a purpose, but as of right now ITS JUST NOT FUCKING THERE. Watch the stream, drop an entire 10 or so euros/dollars and get the HQ stream.

Esl-Tv stream doesn't work at all: mplayer,notconnected,nompever

Whatever that means?

An alternative stream works fine.

Flash version says the same thing all the time: stream doens't exist. No matter if I restart octoshape, firefox, or just refresh the page, whatever.

Thanx go to the guys who're doing the alternative stream, though, they gave me a chance to watch, and I'm happy =)

because when his english is not very good when he talks at first he thinks in polish and then translates it to english instead of thinking in english and when he does so he says "with" instead of "against" because.... in polish u say u fighted "with" (polish "z") sb/sth and when u directly translate "z" to english its "with". u can also use "against" ("przeciwko) but its not so commonly used

I allready enjoyed the tek-9 interview answers by Avek. Most players had simple short answers while Avek answered with a nice story.

He was also nice with the interviews. Had a lot to interesting stuff to say. He made a fanboy.

Then I watched Cooller later that night and he's still the master :)

You can see the exact moment cooller gets pissed off vs zamuz with his rail play. He gets so pissed that he snaps and gets rail himself and plays the exact same type of strategy zamuz was using on him. Only he followed it up with his brain game and rocked zamuz.

2GD - appreciate the humor, but seriously, can you notch the professionalism up a bit please? Sometimes you're making poor jokes when a sensible comment about the game would be A LOT better.

Like the bit where you're going on about your strafe jumping... its not funny, and takes away from the cast. If you're hurting for content out of game, maybe bring some player stats or current news with you?

Thanks guys! Love watching the coverage.

Actually, it is funny, what more can they say? There isn't much "Player News" and they show accuracies throughout the game (though you could mean some other stats like amount of games played). Sometimes it's 20 ish minutes before the next game, they already gave their thoughts, what they think the players need to do, their strengths on all maps etc, and then a few minutes of goofing around, it's what makes them 2 the most loved shoutcasters, great knowledge & good humor, lighten up!

secondly: Cooller is god again. hes back on track, one more time we have reason to warship him so much. Last interview was also great. I hope to see some great games next days. But with that kind of shape, Cooller would destroy av3k. If youngster wont be able to shape up. I dont know hows cyphers shape, but if its good or god like coollers, then we will se some awesome games on saturday and sunday.

Anyway, stream is working all day great for me, i enojoy tournament a lot.

Carmac and Joe and James are doing very good job.

Okay, probably the most legendary interview ever. Between that exchange between Cooller and Strenx, I know Carmac has to be grinning from ear-to-ear. That exchange was $$$.

Second thing, 2GD is the best fucken shoutcaster out there. All haters can die.

Third thing, Joe needs to glue his long hair back on. The lost weight to his hair makes his hair flip up on the end... looks silly, m8. Use some gel or something.

It was a good experience for Strenx. I bet you Strenx will work a bit harder at his tactics for being so publicly coached by Cooller. And besides, if he can't handle a little coaching from arguably the best Quake-teacher that ever existed, then how can Strenx every hope to excel and win QL tournaments?

and (unsurprisingly) Cooller is absolutely right. If strenx smartens his play as was mentioned, he could truly be a force to be reckoned with, but without a well practiced brain game, guys like Cooller will always beat him when it comes to the LAN.

No, you're not the only one. I din't like Cooller's attitude too much. First it was fine, the sarcasm and all, but he was a bit cruel with the young strenx. I mean, he's a kid yet, 18 yr?

Cooller gave him advices but not in a nice and friendly way. It was more like insulting strenx. Thats my opinion.

Cooller, you played superb, but you shouldn't abuse a kid that way. Im sure he'd never said those things to Z4muZ 'the bear' for example.

It wasn't Coollers attitude that made it awkward. It was strenx attitude. And imo Cooller said no comments twice to protect strenx and to make the interview less awkward.

Carmac should've anticipated better on strenx rage and anger on that couch. When I was 18 I would've been exactly the same. You just got owned on the map you can think you can beat everyone on. Your frustated about that. Then they interview you with a camera in your face in a language he really barely knows.

Strenx made some silly comments which made the interview epic. I mean dm6 is an all lg map when he just got beaten by someone who's lg aim isn't nearly as good as his.. That's making a fool of yourself.
I do think tho that he also can't express himself very well in english.

Anyways, Cooller really wanted to help strenx on that couch with good advice, but strenx was so full of rage that he had a hard time reacting normally. He was afraid they were taking a piss with him. It's just his insecurity. Don't bash this guy too hard.

edit: I would like to add that Carmac is doing a great job tho :D

I don't see where you see cruelty and insults in Cooller's words.
He honestly tried to give advice, and he laughed not because he was sarcastic, but because of strenx'es stubborness not to accept it when Cooller just proved he's right.
Basically, Cooller meant something like "see, if you play like that, you will win", and strenx was like "no, dm6 is shaft only!!!1111", how could you not smile at that?

i know to you it looks like he came off abit aggresive from that, but thats russian mentality, hes very honest with his opinions and if someone disagrees with him about _something that he is absolutely sure about_ he wont like it.

i guess you need to live around them irl to understand it, its typical russian behavior imo.

but _IF_ strenx has the potential cooller was talking about, he'll probably over think his style and get even better. that's of course not just a matter of days, but prolly it will happen. i don't think cooller was enjoying himself by schooling strenx in the interview (well, maybe a little), he wanted to tell him what went wrong with his game.

This is easy to blame him for that. He was under the big pressure. There were a lot of cameras, people around and much more in front of PCs watching stream. He was speaking in non-native language which is probably causing him a lot of brain attention so there was not so much time to think well about why he lost map.

I remember some girls of my class asked by teacher some very easy questions and they also answered "I don't know" where it was clearly obvious that they know the answer. Try to understand him better and be tollerant ;).

And in the interview, it was fairly obvious that he still was in turmoil about losing dm6. He even said so himself. So Carmac asking cooller to give advice to strenx at that point was pretty much tasteless imo.

i think cooller was real sincere with his advices and criticism in the beginning, but when strenx didnt agree with what cooller said (being aggressive all the time) then cooller did a little scarcasm..but strenx deserved this much imo. as far as i remember he was saying "dm6 is a map in which u cant have close games.. u rape or get raped"..well how come he can say that when he just got out of a close game? or am i wrong? I believe if in future strenx can add some brain to his aim he will be very hard to stop but it seems he still has so much time for that (he needs to get out of puberty!:P). Thanks for the great matches and the great interview esl!

Yesterday was great. It's a shame I have to work all day today so I will mist quite a bit this afternoon. Oh well I will be back home @ 16:45 so not that bad.

Anyways. Great games and great coverage yesterday. It's a shame spartie got knocked out. He's quite unfortunate that av3k got owned by calipt. Then again if he didn't lose a map vs Garpy or would've taken a map from Av3k he would go through.
I hope he can keep up his morale tho.

Group B.
Draven really dissapointed, but I guess he agrees with that. His aggresive style really failed a lan. Got outaimed all the time. Too bad.
Cooller started a bit slow vs zamuz, but his game vs strenx was great. Dm6 was awesome, but T9.... wow.. He really brought that map to another level. It reminded me a bit of reppie on aerowalk in qw. Incredible use of the teles. Just awesome!
Imo he showed how cool T9 can be.

Oh and 1 big fail. I can't reach this site in anyway from home. It worked wednesday, but yesterday all day long I couldn't connect. It just said the site didn't exist. So weird....

I didn't like the asking the winner what tips he would give the loser stuff. You don't see that in TV sports journalism for a reason, because it puts both parties in an awkward situation.

Even more, both might be still competitors in the very tournament. What idiocy would it be if one would give the other "tips".

Carmac should really straighten that out in the future. He can ask each player what he thought went wrong with his own game but rather not what he thought went wrong with the opponents game and especially not ask players to give opponents "tips".

I have seen such situations in TV many times, for example when both coaches of a team are invited for an after-game interview.
They usually tend to not take quite such a "schooling" approach. But then again both get paid a lot for their job and probably know most of the theory. While strenx is just 18 and certainly lacks a bit in the theory.

Which is why in this case, the advice came across so strongly.

So, the habit to ask, what the opponent could have done better does exist in normal sports interviews, but maybe not as obvious as here.

Whether it is a friendly thing to do, is another matter altogether.

Precisely. They don't take a schooling approach. You would never see a journalist asking one coach to give "tips" to the other.

Also, you seem to compare this to team games, where coaches are sent in as trained media front men. I guess you would better compare this to e.g. tennis after game press conferences. If a reporter asked there what tips the winner would give to the loser he would be laughed at.

Edit:

Short addendum, which I believe might be noteworthy.

With TV sports journalism you usually have a clear distinction between journalists and organizers. The fact that Carmac combines several functions should, imo, make him even more cautious about how exactly he treats players immediately after games in his reporter role.

Because with his also assuming organizer functions now and then players might not feel as free to respond in the way they wanted if he just were a 100% journalist.

Alright, but that asking differently might already be a whole world of a difference.

Example: if Carmac asked cooller "what would you have done in strenx's position" would be a totally different thing from asking him "what advice would you give to strenx". The end result might be the very same, but in terms of treatment of people it's two totally different ballparks.

The question isn't the problem. The problem is asking the person to address his opponent. If you ask them "What do you think the opponent did wrong/you did right that allowed you to win?" it's fine, even though it's basically the same question.

Why awkward? Because of the emotions involved immediately after a game. Especially, if a player feels he might have been kind of humiliated you wouldn't want to add to that, would you.

And being asked about a opponent is a totally different thing from being asked to give him tips after he just lost a game to you.

if cooller continues to play like this, noone can beat him. not even rapha, noone. maybe in a telefrag situation, or if he gets 20 shit spawns, but if not, noone.

yesterday he outrailed z4muz, made draven look funny, and outshafted strenx. what the FUCK is that?

we can only be grateful that the crapfest of cpmavq3 is dead, cause otherwise improving @ quake would still mean just going up in the LG%.

what he showed yesterday was a different level of quake. cypher @ 2008 was insane speed / aim combo, but this is something else. at least 15 times while watching the stream you have a feeling that he also has the item timers on the side of the screen and you just forget its a spec feature.

his only weakness in a bo5 is the fact that he has an instant-loss @ t7, so unless he manages to win everything else, he's forced to play the fifth map (dunno how they pick the map order but t7 was never map 4 or map 5 till now, iirc). so things can always go wrong.

i agree that he was real good and he showed that he is going to play better even. I think if he qualifies for the finals we will see some more amazing games from Cooller, but i dont agree with the part about outshafting strenx. Of course he beat him in various lg vs lg situations, but strenx obviously made more dmg with lg than cooller. The reason cooller beated him was because he also had the "brain" factor and he was stacked well most of the time because of his timing abilities..

What troubles me is, quarter-finals will be again his first game of the day, and also semi-finals if he gets there. And Cooller needs to play a few games before he gets his daily best form.
In multi-day single-elimination tournaments, he doesn't have opportunity to get his top form in important games.
Carmac, please make world finals double elimination!

yup. at dubai and dreamhack, he had his moments... but when he was trailing, he still tried the mad rushes he's been doing in recent times in hope that it'll pay off. with a 10 minute timelimit, it only hurt him more as he'd give away a lot of frags.

his comeback vs strenx was a great example of the brain he's famous for. no more constant crazy LG rushes. he tried it a couple of times and realized it wasn't working. then he simply worked on building a stack before counter attacking. once he did that, it was just a matter of time before he caught up to strenx's score. he seemed to be aware of strenx's position at all times. the kills looked rather easy.

the funny thing is when he finally tied the game, strenx killed him with some really crazy LG and took the lead again... but cooller hit some real nice rockets and then off timed the RA by A LOT. this was a very smart decision because the very next battle took place at the same spot. cooller came out on top because strenx was way too early to be standing there. this sealed the game in cooller's favour as the next set of power ups were easily his and time was running out.

Agree with all, except that he outshafted strenx with lg.

Strenx outaimed everyone with lg and outaimed cooller pretty badly actually. Cooller was so good at disabling strenx lg on T9 that I came twice that match.
He only engaged in a duel fight when he had a lot more armor and health.

Seriously, fanboyism apart, how can anyone prefer Cooller to Cypher?
Cypher's gamestyle is WAAAAAAAAAAAY more entertaining, he's rockets are second to none...

here's why i prefer Cooller to Cypher : the ability to adapt.

Cypher on fire is an absolute joy to watch... but when players like rapha throw him off his game, he's effectively shut down for the rest of the match.

when not in control, there's nobody who plays the game better than cooller.

I agree

Also cypher without his aim, is nothink. I remember him in the latest days of q3, when he wasn't practising that much and had lost part of his aim. He was lost. He didn't know what to do and he seemed helpless. He was schooled twice by jibo.

Cooller on the other hand, can hold without aim.

Also i would like to mention that Carmac during these days said more times "James and Joe" than "i love you" to his girlfriend ever. And this "j and j" said so many times just sound gay.

Back to action with James and Joe.

Wow.. 2gd and jay are fucking OUTSTANDING shout casters. 2GD really knows his game and talks about great aspects of the game that newbs wouldnt know about. Really class casting for 2gd.

Jay is pretty likable and works well with 2gd. Rapha has been a guest shoutcaster but works really well with 2gd also.

DJwheat is hilarious but 2gd is the main man of quake shoutcasting.

I'm not so sure... Killsen gave away way too many megas for no reason. Cypher should've taken this game, but he looked surprised in many fights and not his usual self. Probably wasn't expecting Killsen to step up a notch.

On the other hand, Killsen has nerves of steel to play a t9 like that after losing ztn so badly.

I always had the feeling that for fox it isn't about how he plays when he's on his top form.
After all that was enough to beat rapha.

It's more about his choking and playing way below his normal form.

So if this tournament he can keep a stable form, the end result might actually be better. We'll see.

I think fox needs to ramp up his tempo. At the end of Demon game on T7 and some other matches I've seen him start moving/aiming as quick as cypher / av3k style and hit a lot of great shit. When you have that quick tempo, position becomes less of a factor since you are spamming everywhere cutting off all kinds of routes and tricking enemies with fast rocketjumps and making a lot of noise.

After making that much noise on the map - when you finally use +speed, people start to get concerned.. they go 'where the fuck did he go??? lol..' That is when cypher becomes even more dangerous and pressures people.

Fox has perfect timing and good enough movement - so he can actually try that type of tempo.

HOWEVER - av3k and cypher use accel so they can move the mouse quicker and easier to play up tempo like that. The only person that used regular sensitivity and kept a high tempo was CZM.

Fox when he plays slower had bad position and catches lots of spam... :/

Why? Strenx is probably about to advance to grand final, if I were him I would do everything to kick Cooller's ass at that LAN or at last win the tournament vs somebody else if Cooller fails. That would own whole quake-ESR community pretty much harder than he was dodged in interview :).

But both being smashed on the same side of the bracket means Cooller, Fox, Av3k and Killsen all on the other side.

Four top players on the bottom... two top players on the top...

If ESL use standard bracket conventions, calipt will play strenx for a place in top 6, while one of the bottom bracket players will be eliminated, and that will be serious fail. We can only hope they redraw the brackets for the relegation matches.

Calipt might beat Cypher, so cypher vs strenx for a spot at finals when they both lose, and cypher will win that.

(if calipt does lose i agree, redraw the brackets, we cant have strenx/calipt playing for a spot, makes no sense - they suck)

It would be hilarious if.. avek/cypher/cooller/stermy loses lol..

nope im not beting at all i just dont think noctis is any good. it would be nice to discuss how cyphers new mouse affected his play or why coollers not changing his beloved ie3.0 but come on there is nothing special in this guy. he was once lucky in dubai thats all.

when i looked at him a sec ago i thought my oh my he must be using some cheap mouse like wmo.... and he actually is...

i just wanted to know which mouse he uses cuz if you were watching the stream, there was this point where is crosshair just spinned by itself and 2GD even mentioned there was loss of mouse control, so just wondering. so he uses the WMO?

Cypher's using a new one....and Cooller uses a WMO, if i am not wrong he hasn't used IE3.0 for a long time now.

noctis is a decent player, IMO he just lacks in experience, after all several here have been competing on the top level for a really long time. he's surely better than strenx though :D

Is it just me, or does the new hitbox just make these games far more entertaining to watch? with it, the rails and LG battles that take place are much more important, it further improved upon bringing both a brain game and an aim game.

Makes the games in Dubai look a lot less entertaining :/

what i saw was that cooller was really cocky and that he took ill 2gd talking all the time. i think that someone should have told him that if he had something to say then just start talking and 2gd would have noticed it. now it played out kinda awkward and a bit too unnatural, more like a semi interview.

or it might just be me.

i liked stermy's commentary, was fluent but there really seems to be something wrong with him (as he himself said - personal troubles), no sparkle in the eyes.

i agree, the tournament done was for allowing us to see all(or nearlly all) the matches, we don't need gtv for this kind of event. The coverage is perfect, the vod are up really fast.

But i guess gtv would something good for other tournament, like for zotac and gdata for example. It would allow everyone to see the match they want to watch, even if all the streamers around are doing a great job.

why did fox and stermy play off for 5th and 6th? surely fox, killsen, stermy and calipt all hold the same place? or am I just being blind here?

fox and calipt (the winners) should play off for 5th? and then the other two for 7th?

fox played against k1llsen and stermy against calipt to decide the 5-6th and 7-8th place because the top 6 gets invited to the world championships.

tgeb fox played stermy to decide the 5th and 6th place, calipt and k1llsen did the same for 7th and 8th place. that's because of the money paid out to the players. 200 for 8th, 300 for 7th and so on.

a shame that killsen didnt qualify for the world finals, he might be the only player that did beat cypher in this tournament....

6 european players in the world finals is just not enough - spartie, noctis, zamuz, killsen are at least as good as chance and voo...

Cooller called a pause because of timer direction, then they restarded map and avek's spawn was horrible so cooller raped him. map restart was because of cooller, and he knew it, thats why he offered a rematch.

What the fuck, I can't believe av3k is walking away with a win for the first map. When you ragequit like an idiot and your opponent is nice enough to offer a rematch either you refuse and take your loss like a man or at least you keep playing with the score where it was... Unless I'm missing something that was a dick move from av3k.

I just lost all the respect I had for av3k. He never should have accepted Coollers offer, and showed what a spoiled brat he is by doing that. The following maps can never be played fairly after that either, because the whole competitive psychology is ruined, and av3k can play without any pressure now that things go his way.

If he thought the respawn was unfair after the timer problem, he should have complained directly at least, and not after he tried to win the map for six minutes.

Too bad av3k showed what an asshole he is and ruined this competition.

It's too late, but maybe will help you with other things to watch later. I had to same problem, it's basically a firewall problem. You have to have octoshape client set to trusted, then make sure that java is allowed (e.g. I got jushed.exe and jqs.exe in the processes, and they must be allowed to do whatever they want). Also loopback must be allowed but most firewalls will have that by default. Everything works fine after that.

COOLLER: WORST LOSER EVER

If I had luck like av3k and cypher, I'd be worldchampion... 10 years.

LOL!!

Drowned in a pool of bitterness.

t7 farse;
With his eyebrows raised and cocky arrogant way he says: we can play t7 again if you want.

... Then he goes on to lose it, haha.

I mean, cooller has himself to blame. Wtf did he play with stermy's config anyway? how hard is it to execute your own cfg?

It sure pissed av3k up, and certainly messed his mindset up. after this 2-3minute delay they have to do a restart and not a timein.. wtf??

cg_levelTimerDirection 0 FFS, you don't need to restart the match christ sake.

All you fanbois just couldn't deal with the fact your hero lost.

Sorry, av3k won fair and square. The point is that cooller should have checked his setup prior to game.
But maybe he tried to prove he could play on another players config, he's arrogant enough to do it. It certainly wouldn't surprised me.

gg anyway to cypher. He barely won against a very strong av3k.

Cooller just wasn't strong enough since his comback in 2008.

after this 2-3minute delay they have to do a restart and not a timein.. wtf??

They restarted because cooller picked up MH with the clock counting down, and didn't know the timing.

they started of with t7, cooller called a timeout in the first seconds because he still had stermy's (?) timer, counting downwards instead of upwards. Dunno what exactly happened then, my guess is the timeout didn't last long enough (it's 30s) to solve the issue as cooller didn't know the console command to change it, and there was no admin immidiately available. So they restarted the map after cooller's timer got fixed, and cooller arguably got a better spawn than av3k. cooller was up like 7-1 at around the 3 minute mark, when av3k decided to call 'gg' and ragequit the map. Cooller then said they could replay the map if av3k wants to to, and av3k gladly took that chance, winning the replayed match 7:5.

Cooller used stermy's config.
But when the game started he noticed.
That the timer was counting down.

He timed out.
They fixed it, and then they restarted the map.

Then avek got pwned, and they restarted again.

there should be a clause

restart situations (cooller) are inevitable and will always happen. however there should be something like 'if the game has progressed past x mark then no restart shall be granted'

and another one in case of network troubles

First cooller gives av3k a rematch on t7. So av3k returns the favor by hiding on ztn like a bitch for quarter of the map. Usually i wouldn't bitch about hiding but it takes a certain level of trash to do it after someone just gave you a fucking rematch.

Stay classy Av3k

so avek should have thrown the map just cause he got fucked in the first one? cooller calls timeout for something that he could type in 0,5 seconds into console, gets a restart and total map control for free? how about avek starts calling timeout asking whats the command for this and that? the game should not have been restarted in the first place and the way cooller 'won' the first (second) t7 was just luck aswell, take your fanboi glasses off :D

this only goes to prove how fucking rigged ql duel is. every single map should have 1-3 starting scenarios that are picked out by humans for the maximum balance in the beginning instead of luck based rng.

the fact that you can get map control for first 5 mins just based on starting spawns coupled with the fact that the first 5 mins are also more important than the last 5 is beyond ridiculous.

Was obvious that Cooller had in mind to lose the first 2 maps by just messing around on them. That's also why he was annoyed or surprised when strenx didn't pick DM6 as one of the first 2 maps in the cointoss session, as he probably wanted this map to be "out" (losing on it) for known reasons.

and ... OMG @ last shotgun shot choke my strenx xD

question 4: Who will be your most dangerous opponent in Cologne and why?

Pierre-Emeric "l1nkje" Portier: Honestly, those East guys! Cooller, Cypher and av3k are my biggest threats. You never know how they'll play, you cannot predict them well and that's what is bothering me. They really have a unique style and i think the other contenders for the top five are more classic, which suits me better I guess.

question 5: Who do you think will do better than expected and who will do worse in your opinion?

Pierre-Emeric "l1nkje" Portier: It's very hard because the groups didn't come out yet... I can't give you a real answer. I have really no idea, but let's say that I think Cypher will come back on top this time!

question 8: With rapha and DaHanG not in attendance, who will place top three in Cologne?

Pierre-Emeric "l1nkje" Portier: I think my top three are kind of my biggest threats, so I'll go Cypher, Cooller and av3k, no particular order.

from here - TEK9 interviews IEM EU finalists

Linkin proved right in predicting a top-3.
So he is right and in the top-1 Cypher? (question 5)

Did it really take a genius to work out cooller cypher and avek would probably make top 3 without rapha or dahang?

If he would have predicted Strenx as top 4 then I would have been impressed.

Cooller got a bit lucky at the end too, so he shut up with regards to calling others lucky because its really tedious, he survived with 6 health and shotgun which might I add is based on a certain degree of randomness.

At this point the idiotic fanboys on ESR go he was pissed, whatever, part of being a professional is just getting on with it when shit happens. When he stopped pouting he turned it around, but Cooller got his bit of luck towards the end when he playing seriously because had he lost that map, after hte crap he gave strenx the previous day he would have looked an idiot.

Strenx did really well to make cooller eat his words from the day before.

cooller not reaching finals is esl admins' fault/fuckup, not av3k's or cooller's. for cebit they (esl) better lay out strongly defined ruleset so these map_restart after ragequits dont happen again.

all in all, cooller is a great sportsman, leaves the cologne as a winner after all (won 3rd) and he showed only thing that can stop him is tournament administration (like in 2008) and crybabies who he's friends with. i expect a steamroll all over americans @ cebit in march.

great tournament. only fuckup was allowing av3k to have his way after throwing a tantrum. hopefully it won't happen again in the future.

i was hoping for cypher or cooller to win before the tournament started. i'm so glad cypher ended up beating av3k in the final after the shambles of av3k's semifinal game.

another great tournament from esl. looking forward to cebit in march.

I'm a bit disapointed for strenx. He could have done better with some more experience.
I'm pretty sure next time he'll reach at least top3. But actually he's making the wrong
decisions sometimes, and that's what cost him the game. He often leads but "fail" at
the end by 1 frag --> need more experience.

If it was in other way that av3k gives rematch to Cooller you wouldn't whine at all tbh, because you are fanboys. However av3k won 3 maps in best of 5 game and that's why he advanced to final. You can even count his loss at t7 but it will be still 2:3 to av3k, no matter which maps were played.

btw. it's not the first time when Cooller has a problem with timer direction, there was identical situation at Dubai, so no progress in his config from that incidence?

yep, but Cooller's 4th respawn at dm6 was better than av3k's 5th. That's no matter, because they finally played normal best of 5 game in which av3k played better, that's why Cooller was upset, not because of incident. Cooller seemd pretty confident after that hilarious decision and expected to win when av3k was pissed off. So potentially av3k's had worse mental situation before last t7.

Why was t7 restarted? Was there really a reason?

Did av3k lose anything with the first restart? Was he in a better situation? Leading 10:0? It was like 15 seconds of a match, 0:0, he got ra+ya+rail, Cooller got mh+ya+rl. Thats a 50-50 fair, standard start of t7. So no, the answer is - he didn't.

And quitting after 6 or 7 minutes of a new game doesn't deserve a second chance, especially cause he didn't have any advantage before the restart. New spawns could have gone either way, is it cooller's fault?

What if Cooller went "gg", and asked for a restart after 6 mins cause of that shitty start of ztn?

At ztn it was different situation, you must remember about that stuff with broken Cooller's timer. Watch VOD once again and checkout what James read from console chat. Av3k was pissed that he lost that map in that way I knew that its already lost so he said gg and he wanted to play next map. Then Cooller felt that this was his fault with timer when game could gone in different way.

He knew that this was unintended forcing of unlucky start for his opponent and didnt want to left it like that. Initially av3k rejected that proposition saying smth like: "no, Coller is better at t7, let's go to t9". Then Cooller replied with: "I respect you and we can rematch". To be honest I wouldn't agree in av3k's situation anyway, but these is our case to decide and judge that. Cooller was okay with that so why you all are whinning about that?

Since I was the admin on the Cooller - Av3k situation I feel the urge to clear up some of the weird postings here.

Cooller had to start the game and has loaded his config, within the first 10 seconds he realizes his clock is going in the wrong direction, due the location issue it takes a few seconds as admin to get to him, because you can't stand close by due the TV cameras, which are there for YOU, the audience. So the Rules say if problems occur within the first two minutes, the map is restarted.

So after the restart Cooller is kicking Av3ks ass around the map, after around 4 minutes Av3ks writes gg and I went over to make sure they switch map instead of idling 6 minutes on the same map. I went there to tell the players to change map, then Cooller suggested to Av3k to replay the map. Av3k said he does not want to, Cooller is better on t7 and they can move on to the next map. Cooller said he really wants to replay and has no problem with it, it is totally up to Av3k to decide, he does not care at all.

Since the tournament is not only for the audience but also for the players I decide to give them a go for it. Especially since I think it is in the interest of everyone to see good maps played and no forfeits/ggs.

Yes it wasn't nice behavior of Av3k to throw the game after 4 minutes; also Cooller could have made sure of his config before the game. I know that Av3k was sorry afterwards, he had a talk with his manager about it and knows that it wasn't right. He is young and it was emotional so don't be too hard on it. It was Coollers decision in the end to replay it and from the situation at the location I wouldn't say it changed the character of the game a lot, they already were very friendly and buddy like before and I think that was more important to both of them then winning.

Of course I could have overruled them, but why should you overrule a situation where both players want the same? They wanted to play and put on good games with in a game that is some situations spoiled.

I also have no idea why it should have ruined anything the tournament has presented us. There were great plays and Av3k was the better player in the end, but every game was so close that it could have gone either way. Accept it as what it was a great tournament with a lot of very highskilled players which were so close to each other in skill that within the top 6-8 nearly everyone could beat everyone and very tiny details and potions of luck made all the difference.

Cooller will be at Cebit for the World Championship Finals and will have another shot at a big title and there will be huge games and we'll see if he will be able to beat or overcome Av3k there. Today Av3k was the better player, but maybe not the fairest of them.

Like or not, but I think I would make the same decision again! (and xou as well for what it counts ;-))

too bad there is no [-], so I guess you need to [+] me!

As an admin of a few tournaments and leagues I can fully agree with your decision and I would do exactly the same. We are doing it for players so there is no particular reason to act against their decision if no one is harmed.

Good work guys, big thanks for you all for doing really good show with a lot of great moments and epic matches.

And I am quite certain, that he did not win it all, by bringing up the AGP as the solution. So no, not quite the opposite.

I like it, it brings that grassroots "couple of buddies shooting quake at saturday evening for bragging rights" feeling to it. I think the uproar is because some people expected ESL to be "professional" organization and with too high expectations for that word when it comes to esports. I guess in regular professional sport that kind of ruling would be unheard-of, not only because it would be illegal due to betting, but because it's not usually good idea to let guys with excessive adrenaline and other chemical imbalances to referee their own games on the fly, if you are looking for solutions they both can live with the day after. One might even think that it's not fair to put such a pressure on to players, and the admin/referee is there to take that kind of heat and stress instead of them.

I also agree with players making the rules, I hope you will be consulting them about double elimination before the world finals.

Thanks for clearing it up. As you can see it has left a sour taste in the mouth for pretty much everyone who watched, so "doing it for the spectators," wasn't such a good idea after all.

Well, instead of the admins, Avek, Cooller, and/or whoever we just should blame id for making the timeout not long enough to solve problems and the initial spawn that important by timelimit 10. :D

Too bad Cooller just told Slasher & Co. he thinks he made a mistake in offering av3k a replay. Him and av3k are friends and he felt compelled to make the offer out of friendship.

That's why you don't allow players to make decisions in the heat of the moment.

I hope for ESL's sake you don't make the same decision in future if a similar scenario arises :)

This. Also, please, no "but but but he's so young" excuses for someone who's 18 years old...

Always strongly disliked av3k's personality, no surprise here. So glad he didn't win at least but would've much rather seen qlr in the finals...

-edit-
Watching the vod, what a joke. Admins should've moved the game along ages ago.

What you as is very harmful, please reconsider. Letting personal feelings of players to decide what to do is unwise. Just think how bad encouraging this behavior would be, and that's what you're doing by saying it's ok. It could go differently, after a restart av3k could get the best spawn instead, and it's unknown whether cooller would complain about that, although he would be upset, too, but it's very likely that av3k would not helpfully offer a restart to him, right, especially twice after the first refusal? It's not really likely that he'd behave absolutely the same as cooller, right? So all it comes down to whose feelings can be unintentially manipulated during the tournament and whose cannot, who is more soft in character. We don't know what av3k would do in cooller's shoes, but he probably wouldn't do the same thing for him. That makes the whole sportmanship talk or 'when two players agree it's ok' sound extremely dubious, instead it looks like a random advantage that random people could get and other people couldn't, although their situation could be 100% the same.

I hope you that you'll think more about this situation in future and make clear rules about such sutuations, whatever you decide. Both these guys will be playing in tournaments in future, they'll still be friends, are you consciously going to allow the same situation to probably happen again? I hope not. Personal feelings is not a respectable reason, it's like allowing players to throw games out of personal feelings of friendship and saying it's ok if they both agree on that.

And about this: "Especially since I think it is in the interest of everyone to see good maps played and no forfeits/ggs."

Please check the reaction to this situation in this thread, that is, before you stepped in and influenced their opinions as a voice of authority. Reaction clearly was not favorable. You rightly think that people want to see good maps played fairly and with no forfeits, but here people felt like it was cooller who actually forfeited the game he was winning for no respectable reason.

Thanx for the tournament and coverage, it was four awesome days for us specs.

Like or not, but I think I would make the same decision again!

Then you just don't get it and shouldn't be an admin for anything professional. If you wan't this to be professional you need undebatable synchronised rules for situations that have enormous impact on end results. And since you didn't have one you should've gone with the obvious principle which is the same for EVERY PROFESSIONAL SPORTS EVENT EVER: You don't allow players to decide between themselves to playback a game based on emotions they have at that particular moment in time. Rules on this NEED to be clear and players discretion cannot have anything to do with this. It's unfair to both av3k and Cooller - they shouldn't be able to make stupid decisions which they'll regret immediately after the match, which I'm sure they both now do. You weren't being fair to either of them. That's what's professional and what differentiates an event like this from an online cup, but I guess that's not what your aiming for.

Aside from that, absolutely fantastic tournament + coverage. But this was a HUGE error in judgement.

so, it's not as professional as normal sports.
I can't give a fuck about that.

Because in reality "professional" means nothing more than everyone trying to get more money for himself.

What exactly did we lose by this ruling (except for some time)? Was the second t7 less exciting? I don't think so.

Why is it bad that players can influence decisions?

People here say, that that is impossible in "professional" sports. But it isn't. There have been honest football players, who went to the referee and admitted that they fouled someone before the referee made the decision. Of course, they have been criticized for the "unprofessionality" afterwards. Awesome.

To me, most of the reactions here are mostly of the "I don't like the outcome" or the "It's always been done like that" - variety.

What is so bad about doing things differently, about going along what the players want at that moment?

Why stop there then? Why not allow players to decide between themselves to play only DM13. Why not allow them to play with timelimit 15 instead of 10. Why not allow them to play some messed up version of Bo4 instead of Bo5 -- wait, that's exactly what happened. There's a reason you wouldn't see this in any sport imaginable. If you don't like sports as an analogy then this wouldn't happen in any serious Counter-strike or WC3 tournament either.

Rundrium shouldn't be an admin because he doesn't know why tournaments like this has rules and why it's important they're forced equally towards everyone and in every match. Basically what he did was let emotions of best friends come between the true result of the match. We have rules just so that sort of ridiculous situation cannot occur. What he did rendered the tournament a joke and he's not doing either of them a favor, both players regret the decision. The football ref analogy doesn't work -- this isn't some trivial decision made ingame, this is a decision to play back a finished game. A more fitting analogy would be if a player would get a penalty and score, and the scorer would feel so bad for the other guy that he convinces the referee to have them re-take the penalty. And I'm being too fair, what happened here was even more far-fetched than this.

In one hand the tournament has a rule: if a technical problem rises within the first four minutes the match is irrefutably restarted. This is a good rule and was enforced in this game. THIS was Rondriums chance if he so desperately wanted to change the rules to please the current discretion of the BFF's and just allow them to time-in again. But he doesn't, first he enforces the rule and has them play the game again. I doubt Rondrium wrote this rule because apparently he doesn't know why it's there, specifically the "4-minute" part. After the map is finished he rendered this rule useless by immediately ruling in complete contradiction of the he rule he just enforced 10 minutes ago! "If a technical problem rises within the first four minuets of the match the match is restarted -- unless the game has been finished and both players agree to replay." What a joke. He also broke the rule of semi-finals matches being Bo5 and the unwritten rule which you can read from other rules: you don't replay finished games. So the admin chose the option which breaks three of his own rules. He's a populist - not an administrator.

So both av3k and especially Cooller got fucked by amazing admin incompetence never before seen. But there's another factor which is also why standardized rules in play-offs in *any* serious competition is crucial - what Rundrium doesn't understand either. Cypher and strenx both had a vested interest in the outcome of the match. Changing the rules which possibly changed the outcome of the match was not fair to them.

cg_levelTimerDirection always resets unless its in your autoexec, and there is 100% no way to notice the reset if you don't actually play a game, therefore it is 100% not coollers fault. You almost would never even check that command in the first place since you could not change the direction in most old mods of quake 3. So people would always have it going in one direction..

Like or not, but I think I would make the same decision again!

Think about it again please. The decision to allow them a rematch on t7 was greatly disrespectful to almost every other player in the tournament. Av3k threw the map away and then got a second chance because he's friends with cooller and pulled the whiney kid trick. I'm sure there are other players who weren't happy with some of their initial spawns against cooller, but they didn't get a second chance to take the map. That's not really something I'd call fair. Do you?

As I said earlier somewhere in this giant thread, overall a fantastic tournament featuring like the best coverage ever, but the decision to let them replay the map was big, big letdown.

I have no hard feelings about the situation, but I think strict rules should be applied.

You must protect the players from themselves. If you know emotions do play an important role, and you have friendship between the competitors, then the only thing that can prevent the players harming themselves (as cooller did), is to have clear rules that cover all situations.

Take this case as a lesson learned, and have better rules for the global, please.

bo3/5 > tl15 by far.
the games are so intense because of 10 minutes, and you get 3-5 games from it in later stages. you can argue its more luck based, but its over 2 more maps which should cancel it out and produces more great games.

It's not my theory... The timelimit was 15 all the time in the Q2, Q3 and Q4 era (I don't know about QW) and it was all fine. Then for QL people decided to change to TL 10 and I don't understand why.

With TL 10, it's often the same story that happens: guy with best spawn uses his advantage to get as many frags as he can until other guy gets control back and runs like crazy to come back at the score. The final 2 minutes are most of the time spent in hide & seek games.

When it was tl 15, control went back and forth in the hands of the players and it was up to who could use it the best to score frags while the other was defending and trying to get control back.

Btw, I didn't get the part of your message about bo3 and bo5. What does it have to do with timelimit? Bo3 in group stage and Bo5 in playoffs works also with tl 15.

when theres only room for 1 control switch, i think it's more the fault of the map (dm6 mainly) than the timelimit. t9 and in most t7 games, you can have alot of switches of control and close scores without 'a game of 2 halves'. so waiting on new maps to replace dm6/ztn/dm13.
and you didn't have bo5 matches with 15 minute games, even with gtv to make coverage easier.

Loop?

I suggest to test TL 12. Long enough for a player to prepare a comeback if he's behind without the need of risky rushing in. Also it still would be short enough. There were quite a few games with 2-4 min of garbage-time resulting in a net-matchtime of 6-7 min. I don't see how this benfits anyone. Even from a spectator's pov this sucks since we hardly get to see a cool comeback. Now it seems that if you get a good spawn (e.g. ztn) you simply try to get as most frags as possible out of it and then go +back.

I don't get why the TL has been changed to begin with. For spectators? lol. As if anyone not interested in quake would watch the stream.

Nothing really memorable in this tournament. I'd say it's mainly a combination of two things; 10 minutes not being enough to build a decent story arc with beginning, middle and ending (thing about lexer-chaoticz , or cooller-z4 dm6 in eswc with 10 min TL), and lack of GTV. Most Pre-tourney and in-tourney drama that made past Q3 events legendary was mainly thanks to GTV viewers taking that drama and running with it. Now we dont even know it's happening, as you cant read what the players type while watching a stream . And most of the good stuff does indeed happen in server, when guys are comfortably typing behind their monitors.

You have to realize that when cha0ticz, LeXeR, cooller, and ZeRo4 played those matches, they had the fact that it was a 15 minute match in the back of there mind. Therefore, they played like it was a 15 minute match.

Now that the standard is 10 minutes, players play like it's a 10 minute match. The quality of play is still there, it's just how long we get to see the quality play, play out. If you know what I mean..

Now, I'm not saying I agree with the 10 minute matches. However you can't argue that 10 minutes isn't enough time to build a good, entertaining match because players are basing their strategy around the fact that it is a 10 minute match, therefore producing the same quality of play.

Also, we do need GTV. I have a feeling if we did have it, quakelive would be more popular than it is now.

GTV has a few advantages like console chat and none loss of quality, but if we had GTV from the beginnig it would still look like it was in Quake3, where most of the broadcasted events didn't have shoutcast. Now when it is integrated by default we have it almost always without need of installing any other software (even it was winamp) and syncing it with GTV which was really confusing most of the viewers.

I think that nowadays more people are interested in watching streams than then joining GTV server because it is much much easier. You also have a good visual settings included without bothering with additional config. Maybe it is lacking MVD but look at it from distance. You are always in sync with commentators, they see what you see and they are describing it from the same perspective. Consider TDM or CTF game without that feature. I watched one of the CPM TDM games casted by djwheat where stream had a pretty bad quality so I used shoutcast + GTV combo and it was soooo f**king hard to follow djwheat changing povs at least 2 times per minute, usually without annoucing it. Many times it was like "ohhh my Gooooood, did you see that rocket?? what a brilliant shot!", yea right but I see guy swimming for railgun :/.

Other thing. Many stream engines have integrated chat within, so why dont use it for cum spraying? ESL-TV doesn't have that but maybe in the future it will. Actually I don't remember which of popular streaming sites have it, but for sure lvlup does.

If there must be GTV in Quake Live, make it user and admin friendly with a bunch of features mentioned above. Some of them gathered:
- integrated shoutcasting (it can go in pair with in-game voice communicator)
- easy way to spawn GTV servers connected to existing QL servers at any time from QL site
- it shall work without camera guy with support of MVD
- possibility to follow spectators
Optional features:
- possibility to show upcomming and live broadcasts at QuakeLive webpage (yea, this site still needs much much more community related features, hopefully being considered by ID in near future)

That's it.

For argument's sake, lets say building a chance for a controlled comeback attempt takes 3 minutes with Q3 gameplay (avoiding the stacked player, stealing some yellows, trying to get time on important items, hitting some safe rails etc.). Here is the problem when you take 30% out of the timelimit without changing the fundamentals; it still takes the same 3 minutes to build a comeback.

I dont think lexer or cooller thought about timelimit. Nobody is out there delaying their comeback just to kill some time. You think they left it to last seconds on purpose? Now, naturally when you dont have time to build a skillful comeback you have to adapt, but guys rushing in and hoping to hit 4 rails in a row or 80% plasma, instead of trying to out-smart each other, is a loss in quality of the play in my eyes.
