I'm guessing it's because it's darn near impossible to +back on it, you basically have to rush off the spawn with whatever gun you can find.

But the rest of Jamalz' assessments make me wonder if he's even played those maps. I'm not sure how a map being spammy makes it bad but w/e.

And people whine that rapha is +back boring player. Get a brain motherfuckers. Boring is such final like this - play reckless in first two minutes, give up 6-7 frags, then turn game somehow serious, but still pub alike play.

The real final was spart1e vs rapha .

OH SHIT.

THE RETURN OF +FORWARD.

If they are +back splash rocketing, you jump in and hit them direct in the face with a rocket (easier now imo) Or you +forward LG, or just rail them if u can.

I was like 'OH SHIT' 15 times in this zotac, usually its zzzzzzzzZzzz.

keeep in mind that it wasnt any major tournament game, so maybe they felt that they can afford to play a bit more risky.
Anyway loved that bo5, cypher QQ-ing about spartie keeping a fast pace (he said something like "tard game" after ztn, like he wanted to insult spartie after winning this, even if it was hell close game)
Also one of most remarkable zotac games so far along with
toxjq-avek, loved the pace, wanna see more games like this in the future, maybe id really changed the balance enough? Imo we will see @ dh.

A short frag movie can be made out of sparties frags against cypher and rapha today, both matchups looked like fragmovies, I also realize it must be hella annoying to play against spartie, he just keeps on doing random unpredictable bs and makes your hp go to 0.

Apoc - Reply to #92

I think spartie is the most predictable of the top players because you can count on him +forwarding unless there's 30s time left and he's winning by one frag.

Insane aim and item control are what makes him win sometimes. And I like it.

I appreciate smart, tactical play just as much as the next elitist, monocle and toupee wearing, smug bastard, but this was just fucking awesome. It was like pure, concentrated Quake, a blast from past, the old days when all people cared about was killing your opponent more times than he killed you. Too bad Killsen had to drop out, 50 lg and 70 rail vs that poor fucker on ztn was retarded.

Great Zotac, hope top players will cut loose more often.
