sterm-ay, sterm-ay.

Will be interesting to see how 102 will handle the aim monsters.

I would consider all of them to be aim monsters themselves. Afaik, Latrommi is originally a lowsens CA player, Pavel should be able to use his sick aim from duel and 421 usually hits 40+ percent MG in TDM.

True, but I think a lot of their 'aim' comes from mastery of numerous micro situations on a map to map basis, to counter the pings they have to put up with.

I agree with you if they were on equal ping, but this is rarely the case :(

Latrommi lowsens? :D while he has sens 4, m_pitch m_yaw 0.02, accel 0.5 and dpi 800? lol

duel masters + clan arena = no killsen

what ?

theres another 2 cups after this one yet

Stermy and h41 rock!! Tox or k1llsen as third player?

It's k1llsen, saw him chatting about it on his stream this afternoon...

stermy and k1llsen in a ca team.
lal

just send them the fucking cheque already

k1llsen is beyond beast, he plays ca as if it were duel, trying not to get hit, picking the right weapons, just astonishing damage output

check his qlranks profile for ca and look at damage given/taken

fucking MONSTER

cause he keeps hiding until his team is dead :/ but still, unstoppable force :D

Did l0wfly really "rip apart" both unknown (ph0en|x, winz, gerppa) and INS LOVERS (zsx, l1nkin, nhsb)? Any VODs?

No, unknown was winz, l1nkin and ph0enix. Then we played the Ids team in final.

there you go m8 http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDv_QSA...CWLy1HX_Zw

You know... I already thought "competitive" CA was dumb and then I watched this and confirmed it without a doubt.

it's 3v3ca which is really stupid to play. And only fat can make such tournament possible. Should be 2v2 or 4v4 ca.

4on4,
overkill, asylum, dm6, trinity, hidden

... that won't make it any less dumb.

Does this imply that pavel/stermy are qcon bound?

i don't think it's verde's heaviest squad but I would be worried if I were in their opponents shoes. at least a little bit.

i'm really missing zoot+ins casting because when ins says something completely stupid, zoot calls him on it and the humor makes up for ins casting.

But with DDK, he just gets trolled or goes with ins on his bs, which is not fun at all


so DDK please teach ins to cast properly
- not letting him go off in weird topics that aren't interesting or funny
- not letting him ask and answer his own questions
- not letting him spread misinformation *if you haven't confirmed something, then don't say it on stream*
- stop letting him interrupt you when you are making some interesting points
- stop letting him ask stupid questions trying to make the stream awkward (and which have no fucking answer)

Just make him better, man..

Agree.

and you can put dat in yo' toast.

'just make him better'
it sounds like we are fated to listen to this guy and nothing else cant be done.

Is he sleeping with someone important? i mean, i dont know him personally but he is even worse than the first post-gtv casters like this russian guy who was saying 'KULERA RAKIETA!'

1. drop ins, dont fix him - let him go, get avek instead
2.change twitch for something less laggy
3.put VODs on youtube
4.????
5.profit

stermy and k1llsen... niicee!

year, aCt gogogo :) :) :)

Latrommi = Clan Arena GOD

Immortal*

:P

yeah, no

strenx spartie k1llsen
strenx stermy killsen

I must admit CA along with FFA is more entertaining to watch than duel/TDM. These two modes (CA/FFA) are great appetizers before the main Duel/TDM event.

I really hope TOX will fill the spot in colwn! \o/

PLLLSSSSS!!!!

By the way, team 102 now accept dontations ->
http://team102.ru/donate

It's in Russian only but the idea is to get some money for flights,
and one could write directly here ddtcook@mail.ru

Brb selling dog.

i'll give you 1 dorrar

RRRRRRROLD.

yeehaaa 3v3 ca ... cant wait for some monster combo frags.

... so much more watchable then TDM :>

[-], [-] and [-]

I have to agree with you even if it makes my ass bleed a little

exactly what i go for :p

haters can't accept others can like diffrent things. But don't worry 3v3 ca is still on. :]

i accept it, im just saying you are retarded for enjoying watching clan arena :]

subtle.

Yes i enjoy tripple rockets and lg holds and clutch rails and plasma kills and defraging into position and stupid camp and chasing and + backing with nades, lg and so on....

so much more aggresive then duel, but hey, lolca, fuck me rite?

have you ever watched "competetive" ca?

because what you described doesnt happen often. wait, actually thats wrong. it doesnt happen at all.

on the other hand, duel can be very agressive. and right now, there seems to be a trend towards very agressive duelling.

for references, watch evil, k1llsen, cooller (2013 edition) and fazz

how would you know what happens? .. you dont watch ca cuz watching ca is retardation, or was you lyin'?

i see bullshit walking.

play more ca.

i dunno mang.

play more with my dick?

i think YOU should watch comp ca cuz, i just watched colwn vs action... saw alot of nice peek rails, lg holds, even a few rocket juggle. ... and ffs VIUM and his dmg output is just crazy.

wow u have low standards

i see you have prepared a well thought out anwser, i can't argue with that, u win.

arguing is not about winning m8.

in any case, you seem like a nice guy, im sorry for being an ass. just play what you feel like. but give duel or at least tdm a try, both these game modes offer more depth than ca. you will enjoy once you figure that. and the better you get at duel, the more you will like watching duel-streams, because you will start to see all the small details that divide pros from casuals.

peace

no worrys m8, i ve been playing quake for to long. I ve even tryed some comp ctf div3, good stuff, unfortunatly that break my wish to play pub ctf (frustration -lack of teamplay ofcpub), now i am a happy occasional ca frager. :)

... i guess what i am trying to say is... dont assume if i like ca i am a new player. Trying to time mega, 2 yellows, a powerup and defend the base without rail with rockets only, almoast blew my mind at a point, but i guess that is just something that you learn and accept. (and yes definitly this overwhelming effect gives a greater rush, then only playing ca, especially when you help your team win).

i agree on the depth of the game and enjoying the fine details of the game mechanics. But for the new general public i think CA will be more interesting to watch, cuz they don't know the finer things of quake and action packed lasergun of strenex will be like godly to them, if you know what i mean. :)

Some of the maps were interesting. Campgrounds was just boring as fuck though. Every single rounds it's clusterfuck on the bridge.

Actually most of the maps seem to be clusterfuck in the only dominant position on the map. Maybe it's just bad maps that make it terrible competitively to watch?

so... guismo12 tears helped him to being called to this event, way to go champ

so zzz

Here are youtube vods guys

tdm>duel/ca
2nd week:
ca/fifa>tdm

2nd week:
low ping>high ping

fixed*

lets see what happens if ca-teams play...

knoxe butthurt? :>

if he was just a little bit good at least... :D

and who r u?

im the one who was shitting on knoxe not too long ago when i still played small ca (back when i just started playing quake)

Funny when guys like u start to tell fairytails :DDD
if u had beaten me, i would know u... i dont know u.. so guess whaaat? So tell me ur acc-name, then we'll see.

Some points:
"if he was just a little bit good at least... :D"
I never claimed to be the best quakeplayer or smthn.
But i claim to belong to the best caplayers in europe. Whatever that means... The official matches i played givin me reasons to think so. Atleast in my eyes. If u dont believe me, my 2v2 matches at the early stages of the faceit 2v2 cups can be seen here at: http://llfstknoxe.beepworld.de/index.htm. When it comes to 4v4, u might be right.. im not a champion, still allways 2nd.. im fine with that

To the butthurt thing: Yeah indeed i quite pissed. There r teams who used to play ca on a quite serious level. They r good. Their idividuell skill and teamplay is easily on the same level as of a top tdm/duel player, ofc only in those aspects which r important for ca.

Im talking about the guys of faces of meth, krS, uvm, plus.ql f1st3d and idS and some swedes who could form a deadly team. And many more teams who r realy decent like XCM.

All the faceit 4v4 cups and the HouseofQuake-League r a proof that just playing some CA isnt enuff for top tdm/duel-players to take down that teams easily, as so fucking often claimed.

And now their is a way for CA-players to play the game they love, getting streamed + getting some attention for what they love and all u read r things like:
1st: week duel > ca...
which isnt even fucking true. The first week ids nearly managed to take the qualifier with a b-lineup, imagine h41, ashy and rzd played... totally different story.
Colwn on the other hand played really well yesterday, and i didnt expect them to win vs aCt. But u cant say that they r a proof for the dominance of duel-players in CA, atleast what i saw while i saw them play and while i played against them, h41 played a really important part in the victory. A CA-player.

One more thing. U guys r right, from an spectator view CA seems simple minded and "annoying". But play CA on the highest level and u will see that its quite hard to master. Otherwise faces wouldnt win all the time. Even if they havnt played for 3 month, they would still take a qualifier and might win the whole thing.

I might sound like some cocky noname with no skill, but the guys who played against me know, that the cocky part might be true, but when i comes to CA i know what im talking about and im not bad.

ja ja ve ve.. vs u i would probably win 10-0.. 10-1 if theres some void to jump in... for entertainment. So much to the cocky part.

i fucked up the url part.. but its not important anyways.. if ur interested u might get it. if not i would understand it #:D

It's been two weeks out of four in the qualifier, thus so far choosing two teams for the finals. Right now the ca finals don't have ca teams because they haven't qualified rofl.

Still waiting for HEARTLESS and his team to step up.

because they didnt get invited till now rofl.
even heartless would understand this..

LOL DUDE :D

EDIT: didnt know you took CA THAT serious. makes me pwning you when i played quake for a bit over a year even funnier :D

Rofl thats just sad.

because?

Because you take pride in accomplishments vs people who just play for the lulz, whilst you seem to think this is such a huge deal. It's like heartless playing vs "pros" who just lol aroudn on a public server and then brag about it like its an achievement.

And you added six or so 'default wins' in a row, then added an award for it because you came second in the tournament. My rofl stands.

of cause i take pride in my wins (u even called it accomplishments urself), thats one part of my motivation to play that game...
as u do obv... since u seem to be quite hurted.. but ofc u dont give a fuck...

an yeah i care about that wins, since i still think that those guys r great players, even if they played for the lulz im quite happy about that.

the default wins r listed because i dont want people to think i won them in a normal game... and even without default wins i would end up being 2nd.. dont get that...

but i shoulnt have posted this here...

I'm not sure why you added them at all.

why does lowfly add wins on the homepage?

lol the "most players\most health wins the round" rule is da shit. Wasn't easy to make competitive CA worse but ID did it. GJ.
Luckily players are men enough and won't camp all the rounds when they have an advantage. Could be a lot worse with big money on the line tho.

"could be a lot worse with big money on the line tho"

will be, trust me.

its funny how some of their top-ca teams play. and the best one currently mostly just camps with rail, and if you try to rush them, they hit 100%lg on you. its DREADFUL :p

2 vs 1 with the two camping and the 1 somehow trying to attack will be lol.

R u talking about K1llsen? He stated he plays like that on purpose, don't know what for, if it's for some kind of training purpose or what.

my sentence was canibalized.

meant to say "its funny how some of the american top teams play"

the playstyle i described, its used by a certain team. all of them camp with rail mostly.

Was surpisingly for to watch.

I think I would really like a gamemode which starts like 3v3 ca (maybe with less ammo), and after one min or so items start to appear. Would be nice to watch at least.

Some things I think might improve watching CA:

- Have two team overlays that display health bars of the individual players. How this is still not possible in any mode I do not know.

- Have a hud element that displays the damage dealt by the player in the current round. Also have a popup displaying which player did the most damage at the end of a round.

- Some kind of "momentum" meter/display that takes into account how convincingly rounds are being won, based on remaining health among the team.

- Additional announcer voicing for Double and Triple kills within a round. Extend this to personal kill streaks as well over the course of a game, examples.. 5 kills without dying is "Dominating".. 10 kills is "Godlike" and so on and so forth.

Of course a lot of this applies to other modes as well, but unfortunately I doubt there is anything like this in the pipeline.

Too much League of Legends?

Yes, because League of Legends invented the concept of announcer voices. Maybe if you didn't play CA all the time your brain would still work.

Mhe, I think it's a great idea what you proposed, don't see why you had to rage..

That little CA jibe is considered rage? Oh dear.

Maybe if you didn't play CA all the time your brain would still work.

That is. Peace bro, just calm down. Cool ideas btw

there are tons of great ideas how to make quake a better viewer experience, sadly id doesnt seem to give a fuck

really good ideas.

vor it looks like u didnt play wolfeinstein

I played RTCW and ET, but what do you mean?

I hated CA before any of you. You have made the "hate for ca" too mainstream. From now on I will hate Freeze tag.


\noname clueless hipster fag

ca is a ok to play (could be better with some minor tweaks but whatever), but to watch? no dice

any demos?
