Rapha isn't here ? Too bad...

no rapha and av3k no fun ;/

Any othe rstream besides holysh1t? Their site is blocked here at work :*(

lvlup isn't blocked. make them stream just so i can watch

cooller needs better lg tbh

Maybe, back in Q3 his LG was pretty much as good as anyones. In QL in some instances it's amazing and in some instances its just good. Strenx , Dahang and maybe Cypher are more often amazing when using the LG.

rekkth the best

playing vs him is like playing the game for the first time.

everything is wrong. and you don't see any armor / mh except the first one.

Not really a surprise Cypher fails at internet. Just wait for 0 ping vs 0 ping matches.

i dont get it.

Wasn't meant as a reply.

wow I can't hear the stream because of the storm outside

give me ettv bitch

?

http://www.livestream.com/zotacql

additional streams

Why no zotac games there now?

how is ql on ping 120?

Anoying and not really playable but more playable than any other FPS game at that latency.

Don't say Cooller won, because he got unlucky :D

I think he has a weakness and that's when he has a small lead at the end of a game he makes bad decisions :)

It is lack of experience lol

There must be some purpose of that, hidden from us, since he is best player ever.

apparantly hidden from his opponents, too :(((

Cooller seriously needs to learn how to +back properly.. rumors say he's @ LAN with rapha so.. that wouldn't be that hard.

Yeah, they're both at SK/Mouse sports office.

cooller fucked up 30s before end of game again... same thing, goes for ra and loses game :/ hope he doesnt do that shit @ iem tho :D

dont bash cooller he was just unlucky again bla bla

;)

cooller dont have to win anything to be the best

cyphers doin it for him

and avek brings some drama to the show

while americans keep on +backing so chuj im w dupe za to

anyways we got a great show to watch and thats what counts

the fact is all of them all sooooo extremely good ANYONE can take on anyone

there is no usain bolt in quake whos winning with a huge advantage over his opponents

they re all very close skilled so we as the viewers prefer the ones who play in the most entertaining way and do not act gay

he doesnt need anything

just look guys HOW close are all those games

even killsen plays so close with dahang

they re all very very very good now

+back prevails
somebody call if-22, its time to go pro

OH AND NICE BALLS THERE FROM DAHANG
COOLLER EATS THOSE BALLS
HE WORKS VERY WELL WITH THOSE PLASMA BALLS

Is the commentating on holysh1t for blind gamers?

whos that commentator at holyshit tv?

is he a jew?

is he stoned?

or is he sniffing coke?

griffin vs chyper then chyper vs dahang,when will this start?

its on lol

lol first time i noticed the "watch quake" button ,thats why holysh1t never worked for me :P

I really hate streams... You have to pray each time for a stream to be watchable for you, and 50% of the time they're not. Tonight holyshit is not.

Not having any problems with any atm.

I know what your saying tho. Allthough we should be happy they are there else there was no way to follow this:)

ID workers should be forced to watch such an unwatchable stream like holyshit is now for me, then they'd quickly create GTV =) They probably aren't aware of problems, or they think that they're too rare to care.

Haha, naive kid... Be assured, id is perfectly aware of all problems. And their response is: introduction of Bloom effect!

Why do they do nothing if they're perfectly aware?

honest guess? Cost effectiveness. I'm not really sure how the plugin works, and if there's some technical hurdle to overcome before GTV is a reality.

If it's actually due to the advertising dollars, then you'd think by now there'd be that "premium account" option that would at the very least be the equivalent of purchasing a copy of this "free" game. If you doing this would allow gtv, then I'd certainly go for it, at a reasonable price.

So has Strenx tried to use some brain by not participating in this weekends cups?

strenx is in bootcamp with stermy... rumors..

This is true.

After T7

Cypher: wp
Dahang: thx
Cypher: i'm kidding

The kids from the east are such an annoying bunch :D

Anyways. US players are here for a weekend and win G data and Zotac. Sure it's not LAN and sure it's not the real thing. Fact is this week is gonna be great :D
I'd say the US players have an psycological advantage now.

Cypher: wp
Dahang: thx
Cypher: i'm kidding
Chyper:gg

the last part makes it ok :p tho ye,i dont like this kind of behavior either

ye i didnt like that one 2

reminds me of strenx

but he congratulated him at the end that was nice

i dont' really think eu players played seriously this week's cup

leaving aside av3k's behaviour...

DaHanG plays really great. he's so smart in his decisions. New Andre Agassi?

u used this comparision like 10 times already in 5 other threads

if u think its any smart u re wrong

and how can u find any similarities between tenis player and pro gamer?

everyone makes SOME decisions lol even playing darts

fuck off :)

u re dumb :O

dart players? All they have to do is aim well.
Ofcourse focus and concentrate. What decisions do they have to make? To calculate for the double to throw at?:D

do u rly want to discuss this? :D

Andre Agassi? wtf dude :)

Ping-win! =)

euro's owned by americans who have close to no competition in america. go figure.

we will see how its gonna be on the lan without any ping dif

but ye they re all very good

lets wait for them all to have ~10 ping

Let's see what you say after all americans go home after group stage.

Seeing that it won't happen, what's your next conspiracy?

owned just by maybe best players in world RAPHA AND DAHANG. other usa < euros.

way to go dahang PLOW THE EUROS

they came, they saw, they conquered

AND AGAIN AMERICANS > EUROPEANS

nicee go dahang!

so apperently, slasher likes balls??

also he's jewish... sooooooo... discuss:

jews are rich! slasher doesnt seem rich! okay he seems at least greedy xD

Nothing new that cypher fails at internet. Let's just wait a few days for the 0ping vs 0ping matches.

Nice weekend, was fun >̃

watching these matches and when i saw that ping diff I can easy say that on lan cypher will easy win ?:D

im wondering why fox never plays in such cups :)

too old

because playing in these cups would make him not fail at lan tournaments. And if he wouldn't fail at lan tournaments he wouldn't be fox anymore.

because he likes to say he is not prepare in lan.

Only reason why DaHanG and Rapha are so succesfull with what they do is that +back is a direct counter to the agressive playstyle of the Europeans and almost no European +backs to that full extent as Rapha and DaHanG.

so dahang also has a + back style right? eat shit

imo QL favors defensive play. I want to be aggressive. I have always been aggressive in q2 and q4, but if I want to win in QL I think it requires a change unfortunately. At least until there are less +backy maps (ztn/dm13 for example).

Retard.

Are you stupid? Do you understand english? Dahang is saying he tries to play aggressive but this game favors +back.

To say that Dahang is a +back player is an absolutely dumb thing to say

eat shit and die newb

Everyone knows this but you. Since you have no idea about what you're talking about. Eat your own shit.

All aim.

100€ .. thats like alot in dollarsUS

100 Euros = 136.21 U.S. dollars

that's like an extra 5 trips to McDonalds

+back for bigmacs!

any demos? missed it... :(

plz demos..

griffin beat burned lol

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I hope the Americans don't get through group stages, these cups have been the most borings ones to watch so far :(

b-b-b-b-BUTTHURT

Awwww, that's cute =)

i'm a little irritated the majority thinks cooller is going to win the finals

rapha > cypher > dahang > avek + cooller

imo

imo av3k > cypher > cooller > rapha > stermy/strenx/dahang/others i forgot

rapha only 4th? Where have you been the last months?

he wasn't giving a list of the most skill, he was giving a list of the biggest emo's in quake

=)

lol these cups were the best to watch, lol at gayish euro community

Just waiting for wednesday.... got my premium and my 42" all ready :D

After these games I think the lan will be similar, games could go either way. Too the dumb fucks saying WAIT till lan for even pings. jesus christ like we havent seen 10 other lans with the same players. Its hardly ever a blow out by the euros on lan and Americans have BEATEN all the euros on lan before. Stop fucking making excuses. jesus christ. The games have been close and if it goes the other way on lan its not because ping or other shit.

It will be all times lucky....

you should've bolded "have" instead of "beaten".
Otherwise, almost perfect post.

after watching the first 3 matches on the vods, (which is awesome they're available right away, thanks) I have to tell nvc or whatever the commentator's name is to please PLEASE don't commentate while hungover or whatever ever again.. please.

It will be dahang vs rapha final. You read it here first. Euros are too sucky sucky atm.

Wrong

Damn, would have loved to spec this tourney and gdata :<

Dont think these results will have to much bearing on the IME finals, at Lan eastern European players have always been a class above to what they play like online. Its not even comparable.

I am somewhat pissed off =(. How can we let americans to win both g-data and zotac cups... this is like... like... they come in our backyard and left one big juicy sh*t. This isn't right, just isn't right, damn it :( :@.

lol come on none of the players like cypher or cooller or avek ever participated in those cups or even if they did they had like 100ping or simply didnt care about this shit

only strenx cares about zotac or whatever and he wins vs some noobs but now he didnt even show up ah sry he was spectating probably he dint want to be analized (yeah analized lol) by cooller what a cleaver kid

anyways these were all very close games so if euros find the solution for americans +backing americans will be raped so hard they wont be able to +back anymore

cooller is cooller we all know how he plays and how he fails hes the best and no need to to discuss it any fiurther

the time came for cypher and avek to rape

personally i bet on cypher since he never get nervous and just doing great on the lan an come on have u ever seen that spectacular air rockets or any other nice frag from americans? probably not

americans re all working very hard but some things stay just out of their reach

they mastered +backing though and euros didnt use to that

lol i completely agree i mean look at dahang the biggest +back newbie of all time and then theres rapha who tries to +back too.

all the europeans had like 80ms ping vs 20 on the americans in the games so wtf do you expect rofl.

they need new maps where you cant +back as much. t7 and dm6 are the only ones where its smart to be aggressive and ztn dm13 and t9 are just so rapha style its not even funny. his strat is to bore the more talented euros to sleep and it works because theyd rather slit their wrists lol. good luck americans when new maps come out :D

dahang is +back player? rofl
oh ann ye cooller played dahang 20 vs 20
stunt.us is absolutly right about u guys, u just whine whine whine
my aimbot favorite player cypher has lost omg "he didnt care" "he was unlucky" so lame...

dahang kinda changed his gamestyle. he isnt all +back but he certanly got more defensive and can +back when he needs to. i mean, dm13 against coller was 0:-1 until 9min or so...
and cyhper isnt just aim, he is really complete but if he ison fire he certainly knows how to focus on his great aim

and what cooller did within those minutes in control? was waiting for a mistake and forced lg vs lg battles being overstacked
on the other hand we had t9 game with dahang in control, and he was the man who made a comfortable score to stand with

rofl stfu oh god. please will you just shut your fucking fingers up. yes +back is literally the only reason they win. I

Relax dude. This stuff should be great for you to read.

If rapha or dahang wins IEM now you'll laugh your ass off for a week.

of course they can win but it doesnt mean they re good come on i could win a fight vs mike tyson if i manage to +back for 12 rounds and then punch him once ftw thats just insanely lame

just look at cyphers rockets and shaft, look at coollers rail, look at aveks abilities to win a fight with 12hp, even strenx can out aim them both ARE U BLIND?

the fact is none of the euros +back like that so they dont know how to counter such a shitass playing style

ya you could do that. not. idiot. there is more to boxing than just landing one punch and +backing as in quake. Just because they aren't doing your favorite kind of aggressive play doesn't mean they are newbis. I mean you can't do it. It actually requires more than you think. if-22 was the +back king of all time and he didnt win all the tournaments. If a lion runs away from its prey and the prey chases the lion you will blame the lion for eating it?

of course i understand i couldnt +back on cooller and mike tyson but im sure as there is a dahang and rapha that can +back vs cooller there could be someone that would be able to +back vs mike but after such a fight the audience would throw a ton of egs straight at his face- and thats the point

yep
