Cypher has become my favorite player to watch due to his playstyle, but also his personality in the game. And I hope to see him win another big tournament for qlive.
However, can you really say that Rapha is completely boring to watch and that there is no creativity??? Rapha has been able to impress me more times than anyone else in quakelive so far when it comes to how he deals with certain situations...I find myself asking "How the hell did he think to do that??" when I watch him play....I don't get that same feeling from watching any other player..at least not nearly as much as rapha.
saying rapha has no creativity is like saying spartie is a total aim whore, just ridiculous
he made so many choices that others wouldnt make
for example, the way he steals armors and mega when out of control is not in "by-the-book game, wait for your opponent to fuck up", u DONT see others do this, its cooller school
giving up important items to hunt or trap hiding opponents is not in "playing it safe"
u need guts to do such stuff
simple is something you added yourself btw, and comparing rapha with cooller or cypher clearly shows who's creative and who's not.
when he ALONE says that timelimit 10 is not much, and it gives you like 1 chance to take risk, and you don't agree with him, kinda makes you clueless, doesn't it?
Wtf are you talking about.
Yes, saying:
"rapha is just 50000 rockets spam, by-the-book game, wait for your opponent to fuck up, and playing it safe"
is what I interpret as saying his game is simple and something easy to do.
ok, I like watching cypher as much as anyone. He's looked unstoppable a few times.. untill he's played rapha. What can I say, I'm impressed and I don't see all those negative sides to his play and like watching his games.
rapha HAS no negative sides! that's the point. that's why he's number one.
but for me, watching cooller and cypher is OMFG WHAT WAS THAT.
watching rapha is just...yeah, that's nice, that's where he SHOULD be standing, that's what he should be defending etc..everything is so obvious in 99% of cases, you know it.
but when i watch cooller i was like "why the fuck is he doing this?". and he pulls it off to do some crazy shit and turn the game around.
I disagree strongly on Rapha being boring. I think he was boring when he first started taking the #1 spot, but since then he's gotten a lot more aggressive, but not stupid, so maybe you can't tell as easily
I strongly AGREE, however, that cyphers rockets are otherworldly good. Like, CPMA bot 99 good.
zero4? I don't think he taught him much tbh.. I'm sure he picked up a few things when practicing with him that one period of time but rapha was still really good then.. even better than zero4 imo. All credit should go to rapha himself for getting to the level he's at.
they playing for big money, why not try to win? better win , not show how nice you play. Winner gets fame, not who played nice.
Ofcors 7/10 will say cypher is more intresting to watch , I AGREE, but rapha doing his job, thats shows, how smart he is!
i can see how you enjoy watching cypher but cooller? all he does is time items, get items, go to other items. Even at 200/200 you hardly if ever just break away from that cycle to kill anyone and all his kills come from someone trying to steal an item.
Cypher just seems too be getting better and better.He does awesome little things that other players wouldn't even think of.
I think out of all the pro's he has the most style for sure.
If i could play like anyone it would be cypher
Rapha is boring and so are Cooller(hides) :P Long live the aimwhores ! Although i agree with Lukke....CZM was the most entertaining player to watch overall.Cumback BRAINMAN ! :D
