i'll suck yo di**

still cant figure out how dahang managed to lose out in a battle with 200:200 and rapha like 100:50 when dahang even had height advantage, in the final hektik map, thought pros never make such silly mistakes.

same thing happened to cooller at gamescom, in dahangs latest blog he mentions that rapha has great defensive movement that makes him hard to hit

dahang has a blog?

thanks for linking this, Dahang is very honest and humble in this blog yea I guess protective movement is a big decider when two top players face off. Cooller and cypher are also two good examples of mastering that kind of movement. I have seen cooller do the same thing several times.

thanks!

in the situation dahang talks about in his blog, not only were the rockets bad but he had a few seconds where he could have switched to lg and destroy rapha. it looked like he panicked a bit.

another moment that stood out to me on hektik was when dahang had a decent stack and met pretty much freshly spawned rapha by RA. instead of just dealing with rapha and using his stack, he tried to ignore him and jump to RA, and ended up getting trapped and raped by rockets on the ledge

well all things said and done, I believe shit happens in a fast paced fps, seen it over time and time again in very top standoffs. however less the errors less the chances of failure.

falied rocket jump by czm on cooller at dm6 ya in eswc 2005 final anyone :D ?

please dont talk about that rocketjump, that makes me sad :c

:P

just rewatched it:

rapha actually had 100/130 cause he picked up the GA and some shards. It seems like he planned to do this attack for like 20-30 seconds.

dahang had his back turned to rapha at first, which enabled rapha to do ~40 damage on him. this is credit to rapha sneaking in where dahang was least expecting him.
The stack difference is ~130 now and dahang misses two more rockets while rapha hits another ~100 dmg worth of LG and positions himself for the soon-to-spawn YA.
He basically won the fight without taking ANY damage from dahang.

It all boils down to this: With his huge stack advantage, dahang should have never used the RL in such an open location where good dodging and well placed rockets can really make the difference.

yea thats pretty much it, I was surprised that rapha even did this attack cause it was clear from his end that dahang has 200:200 stack.

seems like rapha thinks that offense is the best defense on hektik.

I just wonder what Ganon's up to.

heuheueHEHEHAHEAHEHA

DaHang's aim is badly off on Hektik.
