The doom tournament coverage is a bummer. I somehow tought this would've been the day of doom. Instead, they played the tournament in greater secrecy than something very secret.

Coverage has been really excellent so far, zoot & ddk are really starting to get really comfortable at doing this, they manage all the down time and slight delays really well.

We even get some solid words of wisdom from ddk too :

Worst coverage EVER. Worst. From the beginning I was lost... No results coverage on esr first of all, didn't understood anything on quakecon website.
P.S. Where's playoffs lol? I mean normal playoffs like on faceit...
P.S.S. I hope I'll watch the finals from the beginning to the end.

Oh and pictures I have no words about them... First gallery is not even about quake (some random people with devices in their hands posing ), second gallery is shot with telephone by random guy who's using it first time.

Have you ever seen other Quakecons? Worst coverage? This is THE SINGLE BEST COVERED Quakecon EVER!

Yes, other tournaments may have better coverage, etc. etc. but this is Quakecon. Our expectations are breaks that last 2 hours each, with a spinning logo and no music, as well as maybe 2 games being shown the entire tournament.

You, sir, should stop complaining bout this coverage.

That's what happens when you have a website that gives concessions to a minor user base. The rest expect people with elevated privs to do things and when they don't, no one gets anything.

Hence why the site never really reached its full potential.

clock raped h4l 1v1 lg on asylum
stermy played trinity pretty badly
linkin wasn't beasting :[

However it is CA so it's understandable because who the fuck cares about ca

faceit could have Jehar guest cast, or have him cast the NA duel if someone is busy or whatever.

ALSO WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THE COUNTDOWN CLOCK ON TOURNAMENT PAGES.

18:00 CEST Bronze Final
Noon Grand Final

how can the grand final be before the bronze final?

only explanation for me is that the term "noon" does not correspond with 12:00 midday.

for me as a non-native-english-speaker, please explain?

I just want to show appreciation in thanking Zoot, DDK, Tosspot (beast) for their shout-casting expertise. I've experienced zero lag and have had a great quality stream so I can't complain. I believe this is the best run Quakecon stream ever tbh. Even though the line-up has been far from the best it's still been entertaining and we've had some epic games.

Well, if you consider evil to be the best in Europe, and then consider how rapha and dahang were trading games with him on Thursday, then you could very well call the line-up the best :)

I know what you meant though. Everyone wants the old greats there, which would make a great nostalgic quake lineup, but not necessarily be the best for games.

Anyways, hopefully Dreamhack will have the lineups you want :D

Can someone explain how "Losers Finals" and "Duel Masters Bronze Final" differ. Both are under Duel Masters section of the news post.

<< Comment #50 @ 09:00 CDT, 3 August 2013 >>

By

Kier - Reply to #47

There are 4 finals in double elimination:

Winners bracket final - Rapha vs Dahang
Losers bracket final - Zero4 vs Evil
Losers bracket grand final - (Winner of Zero4 vs Evil) vs Dahang
Winners bracket grand final - Rapha vs winner of the losers bracket grand final

The bronze finals, in this case, is a different and incorrect label for the losers bracket grand finals. I say incorrect because a bronze match, by definition, is a match where the winner wins bronze, not where the loser gets bronze.

Friendship at 500 feet per second

We limp from ego-boost to ego-boost
This can't go on forever
We're both ugly puny shits
So let's go out together

Only thing down this mouse hole
Disgraceful midlife crisis
Be a brother, hold my hand
until we lay here lifeless

Your brother's got your back
Youur crew makes you bigger
Suicide pawct
A trule friend pulls the trigger

I said I needed help
You said that you would do it
My mouth's wide open
Stuff the barrel though it

Friendship at 500 feet per second

I'm dead fucking serious
You said you were too
This is why game's over
Stupid friends like you

I'm this commited
You think you want to live
So fucking weak I need a hand
and you think you're going
to make it

He doesnt have a plan b. When his style doesnt work he lose. He allways loses against cooller and strenx aswell, dahang is just another player who counter his style well. Or so it seems they only met once so far. Evil is very very good but i dont think he is particularly good at adapting.

Demex is a really strong CA player (and used to be a pretty good duelist), but he's also the worst behaved person I've ever seen on the internet. Extremely rude arrogant trash talking assmunch.

Nemesis I don't know much about, he's a great ca player, often suspected of cheating due to his unbelievable rail in online ca. Maybe he does cheat, who knows.

Now we just need to see Rey come to a lan. But the probability of that happening is the same as us waiting for the US economy to get out of debt... Never will it happen.

stupid CA rules.
if time ends -draw no matter how much hp.
it is not fun to watch how 3 200/100 hide from 1hp guy
roundtime 1 min

at least the dmg is rewarded.
in the oposite case its the 1hp guy camping and running,
this rule is good, very good even as often times you may never be sure who is more stacked, so there is incentive to meet. when there is a draw in options: well you are giving the CA chickens perfect excuse to play safe as always.

it gives more accurate results, like the strongest team simply gets rewarded for it. flipside is, it makes CA even more boring to watch, none of that 3 guys chasing that 1 guy to avoid a draw which i much much much rather see. oh well.

Clan Arena would be more fun to watch if teams would have a weapon pool to share.. no more than 1 LG or 1 RG per team, or something like that.. or at least more limited ammo on the powerful hitscan weapons

the mass LG battles are fucking boring.

install the full SVP version with MPC included and just replace it later with a nightly build one http://www.svp-team.com/wiki/Download
install livestreamer, then when it opens the config file uncomment one line with player section and change it from vlc to mpc-hc SVP directory, if im not mistaken it was smth like this:
player "C:\Program Files (x86)\SVP\MPC-HC\mpc-hc.exe"
then just open command line and write
livestreamer http://www.twitch.tv/quakecon 720p+

I think that was a saying here [just started lurking 2013]. sorry, I haven't really played quake since q1 days keyboard only. been watching VODs on youtube starting in 2010 for entertainment while being pro in another game since 2008. P.S. this quakecon's production value is put together so well and thought out. haven't followed that much e-sports but I am quite impressed.

It's pretty balanced in fact. If you compare with 2 bo3. And we get to see different maps.

I'm not sure who gets to pick the "forfeited" map but I guess it's rapha to balance things out a bit better.

EDIT : Reading further down I noticed your concern was not balance. Well you can ignore this. Yes, 2x bo5 or 1xbo5+1xbo3 might have been superior.

Too bad the grand finals is the most retarded scenario. It's a Bo5 but one map is forfeit to Rapha. So it's like a Bo3... so moronic. Who thought that was a good idea for a final?

The bronze final had potential to have more maps... argh, wtf?

Syncerror, change this please. Make the winner of the losers bracket have to win 2 Bo5's.

I think its a fair system, in fact evil lost against rapha already and he should be out of the tourney, its this system that gives him a second chance.
But since you can just do that whats the point of being on the winner brackets then? well that 1 map advantage. ;), its just your reward for being the winner.

the problem with giving 1 map advantage in a bo5 is that there's the possibility that final will last only 2 maps. which would be really anticlimatic.

if time is a concern maybe they shouldnt do two bo5s but do a regular bo5 in the first place and if the guy coming from the loser bracket wins it they should play a bo3 to decide the global winner.

DaHank, dude, i understand evil is scary but FFS you can't choose the +back +speed option EVERY TIME.
He's a +f beast but he's smart, he'll adapt and rail you off the map like on T7. If you won't catch him off guard or won't be aggressive onthe items, giving him too much space he'll strangle you. My 2 cents.

Really hope Rapha won't be so scared. Let's see what gonna happen on the big stage!

That wasnt dahangs best showing for sure. You can argue that maybe Evil imposed he’s game which made dahang not play he’s usual form, or dahang not performing he’s best by him self. Either way the outcome is the same.

It confuses me so much! Yes, you might lose if you play your normal game DaHanG, but you'll definitely lose if you play defensive.

As a bit of history, DaHanG was doing great in the past when he stuck with his aggression. For a period of time he tried playing +back style and just couldn't perform against the top players like he used to. He certainly switched back to an aggressive style and started doing well again.

vs evil, this was a terrible time to choose to go back to a losing +back strategy :(

Dahang used just the right amount of +b and +f on T7 taking the lead and control after evil had been in total control, but evil chose his moment and showed monster aggression. Followed by an absolute mauling on ztn, you can't blame Dahang for cowering nervously by the 3rd map facing match point for evil... Somebody above mentioned how Dahang beat evil 2 - 0 earlier in the tourney, but everyone who has watched evil play over the last year knows that was not the proper evil, he was tired and just off the plane. Now you're seeing why the top euro players really fear him - except cooller ofc :)

Well T7, you could argue, allows DaHanG to play much more comfortably, you know what I mean? He seemed to be more in his element on T7. The other maps though, he was really quite passive.

Yes, evil is to be feared, but dahangs game doesn't seem to work if he's fearful and passive. It's just unfortunate as I think everyone can agree that he didn't show his best.

Yes he didn't show his best, but I just don't think you can blame him for that, he came out playing really well, but ended shell shocked... I'm just saying that evil does that to the best. Cooller has the best record against him, because he's such a brain player and - wait for it - "...knows when to be aggressive". I think rapha stands a good chance against him because I haven't seen anyone beat evil with pure aim, or pure aggression, it takes creative game play and confidence in high pressure situations, both rapha and cooller have that - I'm not sure Dahang has...

It looked to me that Dahang expected evil to be much more aggressive. He definitely baited evil for a rush in some cases and spammed doorways to get initial damage and get advantage in a fight.

But evil showed completely different style. Not just 120hp non-stop rush with any weapon.

dahang just made one big mistake when he took ra and synced it up with mh and panicked mentally even though evil didn't get a item in the last 25 seconds iirc

then positioned wrongly in mh room 1 sec before mh so evil had the possibility to get 2 x YA

I don't want to say "if" and "when", but to lose one big item isn't thaaat bad on t7, he had time to either delay red or dmg evil during mh+mhya pickup or camp lg or rg

but he lost the fight on mh and got destroyed shortly thereafter

It's been a good tournament. The coverage was professional. It wasn't perfect, but all it really needs is refinement.

The finals, as people could expect, involve the Russian Federation and the United States. It's unfortunate that there isn't more Chinese representation. Definitely something we need to fix.

I do have to say, it has been another failure for Europe. They try so hard to be dominant in Quake, with their greater population and lower average pings, but they consistently fail against the Russian Federation and the United States. Let's just be honest for a second, Europe... you can't include the Russian Federation as European, because it is Eurasian. And when you subtract Russian success, you have almost no success. If I were to think about how many Europeans (not Eurasians), have won Quake tournaments, it would amount to almost no one... and Cypher is right on the border.

Anyway, it's good to see that the United States still, to this day, is effectively defeating the tyrannical, monarchistic model of all European nations. That's why the United States was born. To destroy Europe.

Why in the fucking hell do they do this shit every fucking year!? FACEIT, their whole crew, casters, guest casters etc did a fan-fucking-tastic job. But whoever's in charge at quakecon:

You guys seriously can't work all this bullshit that you do every year right before the finals into some earlier part in the day? First the quakelive finals were supposed to start at 20:00 EDT, then it was changed to 21:00 EDT, which is 15min away. And they haven't even ran the doom tourney, so realistically we're looking at 23:00 EDT for quakelive finals to actually start.

What a fucking joke. Why the hell are you going to show the video of the CA finals? Seriously, why? Faceit busts their asses I'm sure all weekend to deliver a high quality production. Then comes time for the finals and you assclowns screw it all up. Unbelievable.

Jesus fuck, the pace of some of these exchanges is simply insane. I guess that's what you get after so many years of competition, having all the angles locked, all the positions researched. Insane.

Alternatively, this is what you get when you have a map smaller than hektik, where every shot can be a 1 shot kill, and with movement speed like you've done a horizontal rocket boost.

It's insane, but the speed of the exchanges is more a factor of the game and less of their years of ability, although their ability obviously helps.

It's necessary because the engine is not truly 3d. The heights are "infinite" in it - even with mouse look and autoaim off it's really fucking weird. It's better this way. Vanilla Doom experience > gimmicky mod crap.

im not sure about that. modern doom ports (clients) are heavily modded. i think its more of a tradition to play it that way. when i play coop the server tells me how i could play, mouselock on or off.

the other thing is, skulltag aka zandronum had a mode with some new weapons and item spawns. its up to the community how they want to play.

This The Physics of Light and Rendering is pretty interresting but Carmack is claiming some stuff which is not truelly scientifically grounded about photons.

+ one view is really strange that when a surface is fully reflectory it must reflect an equal amount of photons as the light source....
But it only reflects the photons which reach the surface.... And because that's a rapid gradial drop in intensity theres no way it'll reflect an equal amount....

But I guess he just means that it appears as if you're watching the light source from further away.... But it seemed strange to me anyway... ow well on watching the rest :D

Also there are no hard shadows in the real world because everything partially reflects light into ALL directions.
So there cannot be any hard shadows unless you can completely block out all directions of lights to come in or have absolutely nothing (aka nothing that reflects anything) other than a light source and an obsticle.

Look, I get where you're coming from, and that's great. Carmack though is talking more of what's possible to do as a next gen real time simulation.

Yes, there's a drop in intensity, but only due to radial sourcing. If we assume all photons are traveling parallel, then there should be 0 drop in intensity assuming a fully reflective surface, and with the normal assumption of nothing in the "video game air".

There's a lot of assumptions underlying what Carmack talks about, because he's describing situations found in graphics engines that can run in real time, or will run in real time in the near future. Just like in any physics calculations, you have to make a lot of idealizations on the system or there's just far too much to deal with.

TLDR: Carmack is a game engine guy. There's a lot of idealizations they use, like perfectly spherical cows. It'll never be perfect or even close to realistic.

m8 Carmack is one of my (very few) hero's. I respect him so much that it's rediculous.

However I do feel that the point I raised is somewhat important for JC himself. There is this video I watched from Feynman who gave some lectures in Auckland where he did a kind of "light for dummies" (in 4 lectures) which is an awesome explanation for how 'strange' light actually acts.

Light is a bitch, but I'm glad you're interested. Just remember that Carmack has to deal with 'real' light, and not interpretations of light. He also has to deal with the real world.

Cheers to ya!

This is it. I have reached the limits of my sanity. I depleted any and all rationality left in the ravaged, barren terrain the landscape of my mind is after watching this dredge for what seems like an eternity. I'm still lucid, yet strangely, ethereal. Nothing seems real, anymore. Perhaps I'm just trapped in some terrible nightmare. Maybe if I go to sleep now the nightmare will stop. I'll wake up and I won't remember any of this. Maybe if I go to sleep I won't wake up, ever. I think that would be preferable. I'll go for it anyway.

I just saw a man throw ping pong balls into two cups while listening to a chiptune Star Wars theme. I. I just. I don't know, anymore. I don't know anything. And yet, I know everything. It's all so clear to me, now. I just can't understand it. Oblivion sewers. Case mods. Tim Willits. Tube Sucking. It's all connected, somehow. A part of something greater, yet unknowable. The voices tell me to sacrifice a living thing and drink from its blood.

So this stfu was the guy behind Q2dm1? Right now I don't give a fuck if he was God. Fuck him and fuck God. I've been up all night to watch duel finals and right now I feel like I need to get my mental health status checked.

lol rapha taking his sweet time... and what have you been doing all evening mr. shiny? no wonder evil stayed when rapha didn't, while none of this makes sense anyway at least he can't understand the brain damage inducing retardese being spawned from every muppet who takes the stage.

You can do all of the production, but still be told that no, you have no time to test the stream right now cause ping pong ball sucking.

Oh you wanna test the sound for the stream? Who cares! We have a stage, and right now, some guy is gonna throw ping pong balls into cups.

Oh, someone running up here for one of our minigames kicked out one of your cables? Don't worry about it, you can fix it later.

I don't get how the production the other 2 days was so much better.

Audio problems aside. Even the video quality is lower than the other days (720p+)..

At least its watchable i guess. 6/10 production which is better than the 2/10 average for qcon.

NEVER SEEN RAPHA SO FUCKING TERRIFIED OF A PLAYER.

That was so fucking insane, just from that dm13 match, he deserved to win the whole thing.

The ultimate +back vs the ultimate +forward.

sooooooooooo FUCKING GOOOD!

I got way more respect for evil's game now, I thought he was a +forward aim fag with nice dodges, but you can see he's thinking hard about traps and item whoring like cooller.

His style is so good and contrasting compared to rapha. I can now understand why Cypher rages playing Evil. Av3k said Cypher doesn't like when people take fights to him and get into his face, and Evil just does that to him. But does it intelligently...

Evil fanboy detected.

Rules were fine. Rapha won winner bracket finals and got the map advantage and choice of eliminating a map. Evil got knocked down to lower bracket and starts with a disadvantage.

Evil did well but rapha remained calm with one map away from elimination and won lost world before destroying evil on toxicity.

Would you rather evil have to win 2 best of 3s as opposed to only being a map down?

Because Duel must prove whos game is better and not who has more luck with starting opponent(Rapha played with all Americans, when Evil never ever played DaHang before for example).

Double elem was the golden standard in gaming and is making quite a comeback, not only in quake. It isn't used in real life sports because of physical endurance and it's harder to follow, but double elem is a by far fairer (not as random) system than single elem.

What's wrong is the way it was implemented on the grand finals. What should have been done is how double elem always works: one bo5 with the possibility of a reset, so if evil wins the first bo5 (from lb) then there's a second one. No map advantages, no benefits for the player coming from wb. The other possibility is having only one bo5 without the reset possibility.

BTW who knocked down evil was precisely rapha, so in single elem this discussion wouldn't exist and in this double elem rapha deserved the map advantage. And it's not like ztn = evil wins.

A lot of tournaments have been run this way. If it was single elimination, evil would have been eliminated by Rapha in the semis and it be a rapha vs Dahang final.

Then we get you complaining about how there should be lower bracket and how evil should not have been eliminated that early on because jetlag etc.

Rapha himself had to be in that situation a number of times, most notably fnatic beat it against cypher and he stepped up to win despite being a map down against cypher from the start. Nobody was complaining about how unfair it was for Rapha then.

lets give the yankees 1 free game in the world series because they have a better track record this or that year.

lets add 2 minutes time to any nascar drivers time even though they won because durring time triald they didnt come in top 5.

Except giving advantage for WB winner is the standard for a double-elimination tournament in most sports using DE.

In "real" sports most often this is realized using two games (WB winner having to win one, LB winner having to take two), not point advantage in a single match. That's why people in this thread were calling for two bo3s.

It's fair in either case.

DE = Double-elimination
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-elimination_tournament

How can you not understand that? Rapha came into the grand final having not yet lost a match. (Besides the groups)
That's why usually two games (bo3s or bo5s) are played if the player of the lower brackets wins the first.
It's only fair, considering that the one in the lower bracket ALREADY LOST a game before.

If it would be one game (bo3 or bo5), with even terms for both, it would be truly unfair for the finalist coming from the upper bracket.

No it should not be. The one team, that won the bronze finals still has lost one game in the cup grid and the other one (winner of WB-Final) never lost a game. So the one coming from LB HAS to have a disadvantage... It could be, that they had to win two sets of bo3 (or bo5) so one team has lost one game, and the other has lost two games. If the team from LB just wins one bo5 they have still not won more games then the opponent team. Simple math if you would not explaine it as complitcated as I do.

Do you know how double elimination normally works?

If this was a real double elimination tourney, evil would have to win 2 best of 3s, whereas rapha would only have to win a single best of 3.

If this were a modern double elimination tourney, it probably would have been 2 best of 5s to get the most games.

In real double elimination, evil gets a giant shit stick shoved up his ass. In this modified double elimination, he loses 1 map. Boo hoo.

If it were toxicity that were thrown out, I'd expect that the last map would be closer, but certainly wouldn't give it automatically to evil.

In fact, I had expected evil to win toxicity, so him losing that badly was a bit of a surprise. It's not like Rapha is bad at ztn. It's not like rapha hasn't beaten Cooller and Cypher on ztn. Yeah ztn is considered Russias map, but the Russians adopted Rapha as you can see from where he puts his keyboard :)

Sigh. I'm interested in configs for many reasons.

A. I collect configs and find configurations fascinating.

I wrote a guide about QL cvars and their use here:

http://www.regurge.at/ql/Lorfa/

B. I like to keep up to date with the configurations of top players since it gives insight into their style and thought process.

C. There are certain trends in configurations that are interesting.

I see configs from a range of players all the time, from newbie to pro and sometimes I see trends in different strength levels. This could indicate certain 'norms' or ranges of cvar values that are good, and it can be interesting to consider a scientific reason why.

Also if I see a certain cvar suddenly in use by all the top players in a recent lan event where it wasn't before it may be worth investigating to find out why. It might be something I'd want to add to my guide.

Really characterizing my interest in configs as "you think you will play better with champion config" is extremely ignorant and superficial.

I mean if configs are not of interest to you that's fine, but you shouldn't hate on people who are interested in them.

I've asked several times but no response. Even roychez said "we're just doing production".

Where's calipt when we need him?

I've got a question for you Lorfa. A long time ago, a cvar was introduced which showed you the exact time you picked up an item. At the time, it was banned from competitions for some reason.

Was it ever unbanned? Do people use it now?

cg_drawItemPickups 4-7 give you a timestamp when you pick up an item.

I heard that it was banned, but not sure how credible that is.

It's kind of ridiculous to ban a console cvar, especially since you can just pick up an item and look at your great big timer. It's actually better to look at the timer because then you only pay attention to one time value on the screen. With drawitempickups 4-7 _every_ item you pick up will give you a time stamp. It's really more of a distraction if you ask me.

Evil should learn how to play Toxicity :).
Anyways great finals, Rapha as usual is a very strong mind player, he allways "delivers" under high pressure.
Well played by both players.

Nevertheless, I think the European level players above the U.S., except for rapha.Sure, if the tournament was held in Europe with a normal system, with strenx, cypher, evil, killsen, agent, etc., in the top 5 would be only Rafa and far in the first place.gg Rafa Andes Evil.

Not when you include all 2013 matches either.

Group stage is a part of tournament context. + It didn't look like `oh, so I'll win Z4 and Dahang, but will lose 0:2 to Evil for lulz because group stage does not matter`.

1. LOL so suddenly winning group stage games HAS some value, hm. Then probably you should know that initially he lost to evil, and only then won other 2 dudes in group stage.
2. I'm sure you meant "he was 2:0 & `won` 2:2", didn't you?
3. and I am sure evil would take those 2 last minutes on dm13 8 times out of 10.

And again, rapha won by the rules, evil - by the maps.
Winning by the rules is important and is rewarded with $$$$, but spectators know what's really up.

No, only whining bitches think they "know what's really up." They all knew the format going into the tournament and I'd like to see how many of you fuckers would be saying shit if Evil were the upper bracket winner and had a map advantage going into the final. You wouldn't. Fact is this format isn't anything new, double elim with 1 map advantage for final has been used in quakelive tourneys before.

once again rapha proves that brain > aim.

living in USA we aren't spoiled with low pings, unbelievable aim, or a plethora of superstar practice partners. rapha showed that even without these resources it can still be done

"rapha was looking death straight in the face." (c)ddk couldn't have put it better. losing OT on t7, losing mappick cure, and even down to that game changing fight @ mega on lost world it looked grim... until that rocket hit evil. jehovah rapha rocket, i like to call it.

come back into shape after months of shiitmania?
lead an underrated ca player + stacey_ aka cl0ck to a team title?
take down the #1 most feared player in europe for the past year?
standard.

-3x quakecon champion
-2x iem world champion
-eswc champion
-dreamhack champion
-first player to win both team/duel titles @ quakecon

A big 'thank you' to face-it for providing a very solid coverage and casting. Also big thanks to colwn (stermy and winz in particular) for representing europe and making it possible for Evil to attend this event. Wouldn't have been an interesting event without any substantial european players for me, and probably a lot of other people too.

Hope the community remembers who do- and do not 'pay back' to the scene.

evil made some awesome job, really deserved here to win next big tournament
why next?
because he lost only with big-stage-experience of rapha
i dont know if you noticed that, but the pressure was too damn high in this one.
if it would be shorter im sure evil would take it, but with every map, croud cheering and winning coming closer - pressure rises geometrically.
its not like evil wasnt skilled enough
he had better or equal aim
he had better or equal timing
both of them surely know the maps backwards
it was all about the handling the pressure of the 'big time tournament'

and now hes got it....

evil will be next champion
rapha has got the title, but its evil who is the real winner

That is utter bullshit based on the fact that you like evil more than rapha.

Fact is that evil was leading 2-1 and rapha was getting dominated and was making a lot of mistakes. Then he turned it around because he's a better player (on some maps). Blaming it on the stage nerves is pathetic.

"That is utter bullshit based on the fact that you like evil more than rapha."

where did you get that from? everyday on irc i was talking about how i dont want evil to win and i dont like him, but how can you know it, right? just like you cant know what i do or do not like.
take a hint, look at my comment above :

"i'm not an evil fanboi, in fact i i hate see him winning"
try to read before you post something

as to "Then he turned it around because he's a better player"

well i believe he is a better player only by experience in playing under these circumstances and not because he has better aim/movement or timing cause on this level its almost the same.
And im sorry but if u think that playing on a big stage with crowd shouting is nothink, then you are simply wrong.

moreover i said:

"really deserved here to win next big tournament"

i didnt say he deserved to win this tournament, or that he should win but usa cheated. i said, he should and probably will win next tournament, because he didnt look to me as a weaker player, only as a player without so much stage experience as rapha, which IMHO made him weaker.

No frags didn't make those 8 minutes uninteresting for me. I have watched this today after decent sleep time and still really liked it. I love the tense that is growing with time when both players try to catch the other off guard, both even stack, both all weapons.

I'm also kinds happy that it didn't go the way t7 went, cause my heart would have been quite challenged if so.

Anyone who watch demos from this tournament betweenj Evil vs Rapha can see that it is quite obvious Evil is a better player then Rapha. If you can't see it then there is something wrong inside your head. Simple as that. Rapha is overrated and doesn't really belong in top 10. Yeah I think I can beat him.

First ever LAN I watched and I'm so, so sure I will be going back to memories I gathered through this event.

Firstly, best maps in my opinion: evil vs stermy t7, evil vs chance tox, evil vs rapha ztn, rapha vs DaHang cure and last, but the best - T7 rapha vs evil in the finals, what a game that was. I'll be glad, if someone add something to that list, I might have missed some great games.

Looking on the rules - I like double elim, but that map advantage was imo OP. I'm not going to say that rapha won because of it, but I think that there were options to do it better. For example, rapha starts with map advantage, but doesn't pick the map which he won. They just go picks or drops both and the last map let is given to rapha.

About what happened in the final hours of this... Much has been said already ;) This whole paranoic stuff, my god, who made this up? I was going to watch the final live, but when I saw 4:00 on clock and there wasn't about to start soon, I gave up.

The grand final beginning mess - I kind of enjoyed this, with the exception for looking at Furious Heights' heights furious. But the sound reversal - watching one pov and hearing the other's sound took me a while to decypher, but when I managed to do it I found it great. I'm fairly new to watching Quake (started in march this year or something) and this mistake helped me to follow both players simultanouesly, which was always hard for me. I even kept my fingers crossed for them not to fix it :D

I cheered for evil so I'm now quite upset that he was this close to win and didn't manage to do it. Nevertheless, it was great to see him play THIS good. Other top4 players also made the brilliand effort there. Can't wait to see the next Dreamhack, with (I hope so) even more great players. CU on LAN!

Rapha still dominant in Toxicity. Altho i find it realy not fair that he lost to evil in groupstage 2-0 and then have a defo +1 map advantage AND that he is the one who decide which map is deleted.

As a spectator pov it was not a real Bo5, disapointing.

Evil is still the best in my heart and on paper.

Loved the games despite missing loads of the top euro players. Evil was on another level! - unbelievable!
Dahang impressed me a lot, Rapha was great but on the day, with the tournament rules and maybe a bit of luck, the 'best' player came second.
Evil showed much more dominance throughout the final over Rapha, throughout the whole tournament even.
Evil - you 'are' currently the best Quake Live player in the world.

Rapha was doing just as well as evil on T7 until evil made a terrific comeback, on cure evil outplayed rapha but on DM13, it was very even until that one fight which rapha won.

Call it luck but rapha took advantage of that situation and nailed evil just before he could take RA leading to his brief control. Evil tried to comeback but rapha played well defensively.

on toxicity, evil was DESTROYED. Rapha didn't even give him any breathing room on that map and evil's famed aggression couldn't even dent Rapha.

All I saw was 2 very even players with rapha performing when it mattered most. You obviously only saw Evil being perfect ignoring toxicity.

That's the thing - he didn't lose, it's 2:2, and I would say Rapha really got lucky on dm13. As for Toxicity, that's where Evil should think more how to play it when out of control.

If we take into account the entire playoffs and ignore the group stages which were pretty much just warmup, Rapha is up 4:3.

The only reason evil was in the losers bracket was because rapha beat him 2:1 in the winners bracket. This matters! This is what is referred to as a 'runback'.

You have 2 options for double elimination from this point on.
1. Rapha has to win 1 best of 3. Evil has to win 2 best of 3s. This is one of the ways that's normally done.
2. Rapha leads 2:1 in maps in a best of 5. This way sucks because that only leaves 3 possible games remaining.

Either way, evil LOST to get where he was. The winners bracket games are important. The winner of the winners bracket is the better player over the entire tournament, not just one day.

If this were a single elimination tournament, evil wouldn't have been there day 2.

I agree in terms of maps won/lost head to head rapha has come out on top this time. It would have been a different story if it had been some other player that had knocked evil down to the lower bracket, but fortunately for the fairness of all this it happened to be rapha. I'm not so sure I agree with the whole thing about rapha deciding which map he wins by default at the start of the grand final. I've never heard that before, but I'm no expert in these things and this might be standard, but still came as a surprise to me. This made the biggest difference to the outcome in my opinion, because if it had been ztn instead of toxicity then I think things would have been very different.

Still fantastic games by both players - it really felt that they had been holding back during the early part of the tourney and were showing their real game in the final, just incredible moves and speed... Mindblowing!

Evil knows PERFECTLY how to play deffensive on tox. He knows it like nothing else, you know? It was just about rapha who did such a hell of a damn good control, and moves that any other opponent he would face in that time wouldn't do shit against him. And that rapha got lucky on dm13 doesn't mean who wouldn't win it if he wasn't lucky, what's more it doesn't mean evil is better.
You're so pathetic guys. :D

I don't agree. I think Evil is not on the same level on Toxicity compared to Rapha, Killsen or Strenx. At the same time they are not on his level on Silence for example. It's just certain maps favor certain styles. But I may be wrong. I don't know too much after all :)

No, by your argument, let's not see DHW.

It sucks, eh? NA players will have jetlag at DHW, just like any euros (if more than 1 came) would have jetlag for Quakecon. There's no stopping it.

Using jetlag as an excuse basically allows the americans to do the same for DHW. Didn't evil show up 3 days in advance? If evil couldn't get over his jetlag by Thursday, then that just shows his inexperience. In fact, evil has never been over the ocean, so he'll know for next time!

This is like when faceit flew rapha over for their season finale and between all of his games, he was sleeping on the couch. Jetlag sucks and can always be used as an excuse, which is why we as fans should try not to use it. I wanna talk about their play, not how sleepy they are :)

I thought all those comments were directed at the quakecon organizers. I know mine were 100% about those people. Such bullshit they can't schedule all these retarded games and contests for earlier in the day. Every year it's almost like they're actually trying to see how long they can drag shit out for until one of the players or someone else gets pissed enough. From Faceit's end, even with the sound hiccups during the final, it was awesome coverage. Seeing as how previous quakecons have gone I'd say they saved the event this year.

I cheered for evil all the way, but I think this tournament is the case when there's no question who's the better player. It's rapha, hands down.

He won against everybody in top4, beating evil twice. Showed great aim and great tactical approach.

They definitely watched through evil's demos and rapha had some moves.

He outplayed evil on DM13 - evil had firm control, but rapha always held a position on the upper square and always knew where evil is.
He totally outplayed evil on Toxicity - evil just had no answer for rapha's control and damage output there.

Also, both Dahang and rapha were spamming like crazy an all maps.
I think they did it to block evil's strong qualities:
- ability to attack by surprise
- mobility on the map

Rapha's win is well deserved and he worked hard to achieve that.
Also, good loss for evil - if he would 3-0 (3-1) rapha in the final. he would be blinded by this success. Now I think he understands that he has to do his homework.
He also has to bring his best aim if he wants to take a tournament.
30% lg and almost no face rockets isn't evil's standard.

The rules were set in place and both players knew what had to be done. Rapha deserved the win, simple as that. Meticulous out of control playing on dm13 and a bit of an rout on toxicity, Rapha didn't give Evil a chance to get going.

Comparatively wise the finals were on par with 2003, quake's at such a high level at the moment.

Was rooting for Evil as I love his style, so good and Rapha should change his name to Method Man, his out play control play on dm13 was about as perfect as you can get.

I didn't like the format, the groups to make seeds and the double elim to the free map in the final. Too hard to make it fair as what would be fair? With the format used Rapha deserved a advantage but was it too much? did it detract a good ztn game? 2 x b05 too much? too many questions left. I prefer normal groups into single elim bo3's and from semi's bo5's. Groups on day 1 good players from overseas should get through and hopefully jetlag will not be a problem in the playoffs. That leaves seeds as the only problem, quake needs to make their own elo system or buy and integrate qlranks.

Production was better than last year, sound fuck up in the finals such a travesty. And the finals need to be before all the bullshit. Finals then the home crowd fun and the car draw at the end. The profiles and map overviews were a great idea, slight echo/volumne difference when they came on? They just need to be improved on. Casters were really really good, ddk excitable (maybe too much) vs a calmer solid scoot. Thought there was bit too much Evil love even though I was rooting him. Sound levels not perfect, you can nitpick all day but all in all they did an awesome job.

Well done to Faceit, DDK, Zoot, Jehar etc for putting on the best and most professional Quakecon coverage I've seen to date. In fact the fiasco of the Grand Finals just served as a reminder of the crap we normally have to put up with which just emphasised what a great job you did when the ID/Bethesda guys didn't interfere.

Thanks guys! Absolutely fantastic. I hope you do Dreamhack too...

And thanks to syncerror for the Doom2 tourney, I spent about 5 years of my life playing the game very competitively, making maps for it, going to lan parties etc and after all these years to be able to sit back and watch 2 top players battling it out on my 40" HDTV is an experience I never thought I would have!

Thanks again everyone! Fantastic stuff and well done to all the players for the great performances! really enjoyed it (would have been even better with CTF, TDM or even DOM instead of CA, but wtvr).

Lmao at all the usa and russia whiners!
In the end, the better player won, plain and simple.
In fact, Evil played even better than how he was supposed to play; but without other strong competitors, Cypher obviously and other greats like K1llsen, Spartie, etc.;
Dahang wins/losses aren't really relevant, because the guy is really strong but has known mental troubles when things get serious (remember last year's Failcon? When he was dominating Cypher until Cypher woke up and dismantled him?)

So, it has been a little, decent, failcon, fails included, but with just 3 players.

Anyway it's getting boring reading all the excuses Evil's nuthuggers are mounting up for someone whose only lan victory has been in a tournament in which both Cypher and Rapha weren't at their best.
Go ahead, keep whining- the quake legends are still others, Rapha, Cypher, Cooller, Avek....

evil having to play another game (the bo5 vs dahang) before the finals was ENOUGH 'penalty' for getting down in the losers bracket

"There is no such thing as dominating a map without getting frags"

obviously false but w/e
I do agree tho that evil fucked up dm13. The typical mistake made by my personal favorite- cooller on hub vs cypher when he couldnt get a frag in ctrl, or cooller vs rapha at iem5 on t7 where he had so much ctrl and/or rapha was very low alot of times yet cooller didnt profit. That's why evil imo succeded where cooller failed, pushing rapha/cypher many times (dh12 or on online cups vs cypher or rapha tbh-faceit finale) showing ballz and getting the win. And now, he loses quakecon for exactly that reason, not pushing when he had ctrl or letting rapha have too much space. I didnt get to rewatch the dm13 demo of the final and i know rapha played solidly and he's hard to ambush but the bottom line imo is that evil didnt do as much as he could have in ctrl.

There's no domination if you aren't able to get a frag.
The term you are searching of is "control" of the map.
And being able to play a map out of control is one of the brightest demonstrations of ability.
And on dm13, the one that got lucky is Evil: prior to Rapha's first frag, he survived a fight with only 5 hp, and being an lg fight, that means that a single lg cell would have sent him to -2 hp, giving Rapha even earlier control of the map.

What's the most embarrassing, the Europe vs USA comments or the Quakecon Minigames/proposals?

I'm wondering whether they stuck to the map picking procedure for the grand final as it is written in the official rules?

The rules say that the WB bracket winner (rapha) has the first and third pick, and the LB bracket winner (evil) has the second pick.

The order was Furious Heights - Cure - Lost World, which appear like they were picked by evil, rapha, then evil again.

So either they didn't follow the rules or evil actually picked Cure (which would be pretty interesting).

edit:
ddk said: "What are we gonna see on rapha's pick Cure?" (http://beta.twitch.tv/quakecon/b/440423483?t=2h47m07s)

That's not what I meant and not what the rules say:

1. The player advancing from the Double Elimination Winner’s Bracket chooses one map that will be declared an automatic loss for the opposing player.
2. The Double Elimination Winner’s Bracket player picks the first map to be played in the set.
3. The Double Elimination Loser’s Bracket player picks the second map to be played in the set.
4. The Double Elimination Winner’s Bracket player picks the third map to be played in the set.
5. In the event of a tie, the remaining map will be used as a tie breaker.

This means that after choosing ztn, rapha should have chosen another map as the first map to be actually played.

I don't think you can read it like that, because point 4 says "(...) picks the third map to be played" and point 5 says "the remaining map will be used as a tie breaker".
This obviously means that the "third map to be played" is the fourth map in the Bo5.

in a row, next after next after next (while rapha was chilling)
on such a high lvl of gaming each game is very exhausting
evil didnt have enough condiction to take them all out.
just look evil's lost world vs rapha and vs other players (he wasnt playing the same)

The only thing to complain about is the idiotic rule stating that the WB winner picks the map he wins authomatically. I've seen many tournaments where there was a 1:0 advantage in a bo5 final but it was always the LB player/team who chose the map.

How is it far more logical? Isn't being 1 map up enough of an advantage? I think it is, you don't but it doesn't make your value judgement "far more logical". If it is far more logical, than giving the WB player a 2 map advantage will be even "further more logical".

Which player was in which position doesn't matter ex post since evil won cure, which he would have probably written off if it were up to him.

Nice dodging. You should become a pro dueler.

Show me, in logical terms, where that sweet spot of giving the WB player additional advantage runs into negative returns. If you can't, I'll just assume that the more logical thing to do is to give the WB player more and more advantage.

Thx for the compliment, but no, won't ever happen.

I don't understand your first sentence but I'm guessing I know what you want to know over all.

So I'd compare it like this:
The "fairest" (if even possible in a double elimination bracket) is that the LB-players has to win a bo3 first to reach the bo5 round, which might just end in 2 maps and is prosumably bad for the spectators. Why? Just because the LB-players has already lost a bo3 and the WB-player did not lose any bo3 matches (in playoffs).

So a bo3 match can end 2-1 or 2-0 (in eighter direction). So the LB-players in theory would be down by eighter 1 or 2 maps (no other possiblities in this system).
So on average he might be down by 1.5 maps. Can you play 1.5 maps? No you can only play 1 or 2 maps.
So what does it mean if the LB-Player can chose the defloss map? He loses one map, but can chose his worst one. This is less of a disadvantage than giving the WB-player to chose the map, right?
Is one defloss chosen by the LB-player bigger than 2-0? No its not, its just a 1-0, but the LB-player loses his best and not his worst map. In other words you could argue that its about 1.5 maps, which can be seen as the average "statistical" (not rly, but you hopefully get the point) disadvantage coming from LB. If the LB-player though can chose the defloss map its (in my oppinion) only a 1 map deficit, because every palyers has a "worst" map and he can just drop it. Considering that the LB-players had SOOOOOOOOOOOO many games to play and is SOOOOOOOOO tired, it might even be better for the LB-player only to play a bo4 (1 defloss) than a bo3 plus a bo5.

I get your argument. It is however, not the more logical solution but an optimal one given the assumption that maps needed to win/allowed to give away are a more important criterion than having one particular map declared as a default win. That's why I maintain that it's a value judgement, and one that I not necessarily agree with.

Draws never happen in Doom 2 duels. It is usually a race to 40 or 50 frags (30 at the Doom Challenge). But, given the time restraints at Quakecon, a 10 minute timelimit was also added for the Doom Challenge. This was to avoid the tournament taking too long to complete, and finals going way over the allotted time (D5M1 games to 50 frags can last 40 minutes). Thus the 18-18 tie between Dev and JKist3 when time ran out.

hmm... The duel tournament in Qcon was called 'doom challenge', right? In oldschool duels in d2 was without timelimits, with fraglimit 50. ok, I understand.
But I saw a draw in the match between JKist3 and Deva, in D5M1 (18-18). Its was tied! Since this was a bo3 and give everyone draws? how this would be resolved?

I get the justification that WB winner should get some kind of an advantage in the finals as he never lost a game and never got a second chance like the LB winner, however it's faulty logic that the lost game/second chance translates to an advantage in a separate match.

even more so - the normal, SANE double elim represents 2 possible game sets for WB winner, thus giving him that "second chance" LB winner already had. I wonder why they've decided to fuck up the most fair play system that is full double elim.

That would be the correct way to do it, yes. However, believe me, every single time it was done (2x bo5) there was an equal amount of whine from spectators who didn't think it was fair.

Logisticly having the system they used is much smarter because you know the game is gonna take 50mins max and not >2 hours in the worst case. Since you can't really say that giving a 1 map head start is favoring any of the players compared to the 2x bo5 version I wouldn't say it's 'unfair' in any way. Especially considering the rules were known from the beginning.

then we are in agreement that the way they did is worse than it could have been, but i disagree about the the unfairness. having 1 map up in a bo5 imo is favoring the wb winner way more than 2x bo5/bo3 + it simply robs us of a 5 mapper final or the potential games of 2x bo5 ;/

all these time constraint things for quake seem laughable nowadays with the advent of mobas into e-sports where games can last up to 100 minutes per match and some are even up to bo7. 2x 50min max for finals, no big deal imo

There isn't really much we agree on. Obviously the loser having to win twice would be what should happen by definition of double elimination. But I don't think that the system chosen at quakecon is much worse or unfair. As a matter of fact it is much better from an organisational point of view. You're delusional if you think two best of fives would take 1:40h max :-)

I agree the WB winner where given to much of an advantage in the finals.

He got to remove the opponents strongest map and "only" had to win 2 out of the remaining 4 games.

Better would have been if:

1: He where given a one map advantage and then they got to pick their maps out of the full mappool (Rapha pics first, evil picks second, then rapha then evil).

2: There were a six map mappool and Rapha got to remove one map and then they played a regular BO5 where Rapha starts to pick then Evil and so on,

The current rules would have made more sense if there were a BO7 finals.

I'm not trying to take anything away from Rapha here he were the worthy champion.

biggest pussy yeah. When Evil took an item on DM13 rapha was always there, if Evil wanted it he could have made more aggressive moves and force the encounter. Instead he gave Rapha a lot of respect and freedom on the upper level.

Tox was everything except +b pussy style.

T7 was an amazing match, with Rapha running on nothing the whole overtime and still going for the items and making risky plays to damage, cut and catch Evil, with no health and amazing speed!

He took slowly some of the beginning of the match but overall you can't say he was a pussy (DaHang was).

The narrative "Rapha isn't as good as Evil" is wrong. Sadly there wasn't the right format to understand who had that tiny advantage this time.

Agreed, qwih.

I don't know where this myth came from that Rapha is a +back player. He's a position player, and he'll be as aggressive as av3k on steroids to gain his position.

I don't know where this myth came from that Evil is a +attack player. He calculates chances and will +back if he feels that his chances won't pay off.

Frankly, I don't know how anyone can consider these two players anything but very balanced players skilled in every area. Sure, they have stylistic differences, but you don't make it to the top if you've got weaknesses in your game anymore.

Well i think that usually Evil favors +forward style while Rapha the safer option, so one can generalize a bit.
My point was mostly that it's untrue Rapha played like he was scared and it's not clear Evil was the better player in the set.
Rapha was on fire and ZTN could have gone either way. As an eventual additional Bo3/5

That's the point, mate - ZTN could have gone either way and it could only be SANE to play the normal, most fair system that is full double elim (bo5 and a bo3 if needed - best way possible).

Full double gives both finalists the most fair chances to win - bo5 for kicking some big time final ass and a bo3 to equalize the playoff bo3 of LB winner, if needed.

How come the orgs have decided otherwise, AND put the WB winner to an even higher advantage of picking the defwin map AND the next map to play. Why haven't they decided to make it a 2-map advantage, I wonder, - it's not like they r aware what fair play is in the first place.

hi av3k,

rapha won the rounds that counted most
rapha won the events that counted most
simple as that

**if we want to get technical, in both major LAN finals that rapha/evil faced off against each other, rapha won the most money

rapha
1st quakecon '13 -$9,000 USD
2nd dreamhack.'w12 - $3,016.29 USD (=20,000 SEK)
=$12,016.29

evil
2nd quakecon '13 - $5,000 USD
1st dreamhack.'w12 - $4,524.43 USD (=30,000 SEK)
=$9,524.43

**i didnt include faceit spring season prizes, because it was online, and more importantly, the prize $ was so small. evil and rapha won $100 and $75 respectively

quakecon'13 1st prize $ = 2x the 1st prize $ of dhw'12

quality>quantity

I've been thinking, wouldn't it be fairer in this scenario if the player who was coming from the looser's bracket chose which map would count towards the other player's defwin, instead of the player in the winner's bracket deciding which map should count towards the defwin?

The player in the winner's bracket would pick 2 maps which would not be available for removing, so that the player coming from the looser's bracket doesn't remove the other player's best map.

That way, both players can still play on their best maps, potential roflstomp map gets removed, and winner's bracket player gets +1 map advantage anyway.

Sound's fair to me :x Currently, player in winners bracket has 2 different advantages which on the surface appear to be just 1: Has 1+ map advantage AND removes other player's best map.

Do they really think they will become more manly this way or will have more brains if their ass and tits are hidden under a cheap bulky cloth? Knowing some "emancipated" women - I wouldn't be surprised if they DO think so. Poor brainwashed babes.

The coverage was awesome! Thanks to everyone who was part of it. Really enjoyed the games that I got to watch live! The final should have been played earlier as we who follow the stream from home know :)

No matter who was the best player before after or during -> Rapha won and deserved it. I get a bit sad reading some of the various excuses of luck, rules and whatever reasons someone did or did not win. Big congratulations to you Rapha for your 3rd Quakecon win! Both you and Evil played on a very high level and have my respect. <3

Pretty much this. I think this was an awesome tournament with a fantastic final. Arguing on whatever rule does not make much sense, and it's probably just people's reaction on the fact that a great storyline (of evil coming from eu + lb and taking the win) simply did not happen. Is this a reason to take away from rapha's win? I don't think so.

I have to say that these players never stop to amaze me. So many close games, so much excitement. I was thrilled watching the entire tournament. It reminded me why we are here and love Quake. Can't wait for TDM Prague and DHW.

Glad rapha won. Cant stand evils rabid fanboys, bunch of idiots. Evil is a great player, rapha shows his genius, so far he is the only player to overcome all of his opponents even those who counter his style. Fox, stermy, cypher and now evil. Cypher has so far been unable to overcome evil. Avek cant beat rapha. Evil have been unsucceful against strenx and cooller etc..

That's the problem. Evil's a very great player but instead of people congratulating rapha, they're nitpicking the rules trying to justify why evil lost instead of simply saying Rapha was the better player.

Evil had rapha's number from dreamhack and faceit summer cup but rapha finally overcame that player boogeyman like he did with the players you mentioned.

There's no shame in evil losing to rapha, one of the greatest players in quake live.

Evil had 2 opportunities to close out rapha but rapha being rapha came back.

edit: if rapha and evil's positions were reversed, i'd be saying the same thing. the rules were unfair and need to be changed next year.

Rapha's traveled PLENTY of times from America to Europe for tournaments and all he did was win a lot.

He still lost in the grand finals because rapha with one map away from losing the tournament beat evil in the next 2 maps with toxicity being rapha owning evil.

There's no conspiracy or people trying to handicap evil. If Dahang or zero4 had made it to the final, the same rules would apply to them.

So you don't deny if the roles were opposite and evil won, you probably will be celebrating and not really thinking of the "unfair" rules for rapha?

rapha had half a day to get rid of a ton of jet lag before he had to play important matches? i doubt that
willing to bet sk did their best to make sure he was prepared and over the jet lag.

edit: listen to what the sk manager says in the beginning

i don't think it's a conspiracy at all, i never said that.
i just believe the rules hurt evils chances and need to be fixed for next year.

if the roles were reversed, i'd be saying the same thing, i don't care if you don't believe me.

map choices matter in CA? ;p

look, expecting people to play important games on thursday was the bigger problem.
who's to say a well rested evil wouldn't have beaten rapha on thurs or friday.
no one knows, but there's no doubt evil would have performed better on thurs if he was rested.

cooke, send evil earlier next time, find someone to take him in that lives in dallas(vo0, fiend, angel munoz ;p)

In the situation you describe, evil wouldn't have the disadvantage in the map-picking, and Blood Run would probably have been played twice.
Nice, flawed argument.

Btw, I don't care who won, it was a fair system. (Although I prefer 2 bo3)

It cannot be put like that because of the maps - both bo3 series would include at least 2 maps where evil would have the better chance to take down Rapha. Actually for Rapha it is one bo3 where he can remove evil's best map. At the same time for evil it is a bo5 where his best map is getting removed. Pretty decent rule, huh?

Let me sum this all up.

EVIL has wiped the floor with each of the top contenders - that's an undeniable fact. They were unable to dictate the game even on their 'home' maps (except for the last Toxicity).

Rafa lost Cure to EVIL, not even remotely putting him off his game.

Rafa also lost the group match to EVIL.

Rafa was shit scared of EVIL all the time, made a smart use of +back button and purely defensive tactics.

On dm13 EVIL could not hear/see his health sharply dropping bcz of lava. That's why he went for the crazy RA jump instead of safely taking +50 health and escaping through tele.

And the final word to the Bible-lovin' Rafa:

Ecclesiastes 9:11: "I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong..."

Evil got kicked out of the winners bracket. Maybe he should have been out of the tourney at that point.

Do you even know what Double Elimination means?

Please don't go full retard on us, I beg you.

EDIT: Also, have you even kept up with rapha's accomplishments?

How many International LAN's you think he's won?
How many has Evil won?

Please stop this retardness now.

Rafa's accomplishments, brackets and et cetera are completely irrelevant. Here's what we have:

Group stage (jetlagged evil)
Lost World // us rapha [1:4] evil ru ololo
Blood Run // us rapha [10:11] evil ru rafa gives in to evil at the end

Winners bracket (still jetlagged evil)
Lost World // us rapha [0:8] evil ru ololo zero score!
Blood Run // us rapha [8:3] evil ru
Toxicity // us rapha [18:6] evil ru no magic MH spawn here

Grand final (evil playing full strength)
Rafa starts out by removing Blood Run and leading 1:0. Why is he so afraid, he won it last time?
Furious Heights // us rapha [5:8] evil ru
Furious Heights // us rapha [-1:7] evil ru ololo rafa loses his map with a negative score
Furious Heights // us rapha [2:1] evil ru rafa had a spark of luck here
Toxicity // us rapha [20:2] evil ru finally, rafa spawns at MH and is able to hold this point-and-shoot map until the clock runs down

So, what do we get at the end? Insane play from evil, cold-blooded and composed. There are enhough frags for a decent fragmovie! On the other hand, we have a +backing Rafa, who barely held his own and even lost a map with a negative score (such a shame). Moreover, Rafa took only 4 maps from evil, while evil took 5 maps in total.

P.S. More interview hilarity! Rapha: "I was just not making mistakes". Does he know that lie is a SIN?

I'm sure rapha's never wiped the floor with top contenders. He's only a triple quakecon champion, 2 time IEM quake live champion, ESWC champion, dreamhack champion, fnatic beat it champion, IEM gamescom champion etc.

Rapha's just some scrub who +backs all day yet aimwhores can't seem to beat him because he probably wallhacks or something. It's not like he's never put in any crazy aim performances. 18% accuracies all times.

Can we stop hating on rapha everytime he wins? Let's see what evil can do at dreamhack with hopefully a bigger talent pool.

I've just scrolled through 15 Flickr pages... it's like the QuakeLive tournaments never happened.

I'd really like to know how they managed to capture a couple of humanity's finest moments, but somehow ended up with 0 pictures of any of the players (apart from a couple of shots of the podium ceremony).

For me, the finals were still an amazing experience, except for the last map where I felt that evil gave upo the win for no reason. I guess thats just evil being jetlagged or sick or something, since u could clearly see at the beggining when he got some playercam time he was saying something and looking ill. Anyways, the best match of them was T7, and the highlights were DDK's OOOOOH RAPHAAAAA / EVIIIIL moments.

Also, was it only me who has noticed that during the CA matches where z4 and rapha played, rapha only focused zero4? :D

europe or russia vs america or whatever has nothing to do with anything, at least not for me

i respect them both, both of their skills are off the charts and nobody in their right mind can't say rapha didn't deserve to win, i just like evil's aggressive style more, it's more fun for me to watch, especially on the top level, where, you have to agree at least in quake live, the slow and calculated (+back) style is dominating, and quake live is more prone to +backing than any other quake before including quake 3 (15 minute games)

but you can't say that evil wasn't under the influence of yet lag, that's probably why he was pushed down to the lower bracket, and had a very significant disadvantage in the grand final, and with all that he was so close to taking down rapha

that is all fine, i didn't mind him being down 1 map in the grand final, but what i did mind i what i thought was very unfair was rapha choosing what map he won.

that is +2 for rapha from the start if you ask me

what i think would be fair is: rapha has a map advantage from the start but none of the maps are out and it's evil choice to pick a map from the entire map pool.

do you remember rapha and his performace in the faceit finals few months ago when he was in europe and yet lagged?

gg wp to both

i just hate that every final has to be fucked by organizers when they decide to change shit up that worked just before, if it's not broken don't fix it, or in this case touch it

so rigged in favor of a US-RUS final it's unbelievable

a triple elim would negate any lucks or chances from this happening :ASD final would be bo6 obviously with the lb wb loser winner having 4 frags advantage on each map

Following Hendrixson's defeat at DreamHack Winter 2012 to Orekhov "Evil" Sergey, Sergey described Hendrixson's style of play:

Against Rapha, you need to know the things he starts his game with. He calculates a sequence of armors (spreads around in a circle within their proximity) and likes to take advantageous positions. He plays very standard, dry game, without special aggressive moves or focus on specific weapon(s). We rarely see him hitting four rails in a row. More likely he will use rocket-shaft combo and play safe. He seems to be like Cooller in this case. This is very effective against weak players, but against strong it is very predictable.[8]

— Orekhov "Evil" Sergey

WHAT UP NOW SERGEY WOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm gonna write a blog some point soon when I get time, I've got some shows and other stuff that's a more pressing priority currently. But I gotta say, this event was the best 4 days of my life and I enjoyed every moment of it.

The people, the interviewing, the casting, the players, the aweeesome admins, going up on stage, working with the crowd, with zoot, with the AMAZING production team, the awesome admins, the super professional and experienced SirScoots, my Italian brothers :D...the feeling of family from all the people who were passionate about Quake and what we do at FACEIT and so much more. It was incredible.

I'm glad we had some great matches for you guys and that you enjoyed the tournament overall. I'm desperate to goto the next QuakeCon already so I hope we get called back a second time around :).

Gotta say, ddk, I was loving you on the stage for the finals. You oozed enthusiasm and your love of the game. It really elevated your casting as well because of it. Also, I felt zoot worked well with you, as usual. Both of you love Quake so much and it showed.

Everytime I went "HOLY SHIT", you guys were sharing the exact same sentiments with every viewer, I'm sure. It was awesome to watch. I just wish more lower bracket games could've been casted. But I know you guys were limited on Saturday to what you could cast.

Overall, Qcon 2013 was a 9/10 simply because of FaceIt.

It really was the best QuakeCon coverage ever. I saw a lot of duels and some CA matches live and it was awesome. I couldn't stay up until 5am to see the Grand Final :) but the VOD did the job.

And its awesome to see that almost every demo is being uploaded.
I noticed that not all of the GrandFinals demos where uploaded. There are only 6 up and there are 2 POV Demos from Evil missing. (The FuriousHeights and Toxicity matches)
Are these 2 demos lost or are they going to be uploaded later?

Big thanks again for everything that you do for this community and I hope to see you at Dreamhack Winter and the next QuakeCon!

what about some ingame screen footage of different players?
like some screens where shown at the twitch stream. I guess it might be interesting for some guys here ;)

like full games from dreamhack 2012 or a full cooller game I saw on youtube with his settings and where he zoomed and so on..

Finally watched the Saturday VODs over the past few days. Awesome games and casting. Fuck you minigames, marriage proposals and audio fuck ups. I had to laugh when the sound went to shit and camera got stuck in spec mode right in time for the Grand Finale. It just had to happen after all the flawless production.
Just a minor pet peeve - I was kinda annoyed that some of the great frags happened out of the POV because it was on the leading player instead of the guy who had to chase (eg. T7 comeback and rapha dm13 rocket).
Impressive play by rapha, hes just so methodical and good at adapting to his opponent.

just watched the whole thing, its really great how vods were recorded by full days with no relevant information at all, so i was able to watch the full event without anything spoiled, enjoyed it like it was live ... and the best of all i was able to skip the minigames and all that garbage from the final day, amazing job by faceit, top notch coverage. About the games i enjoyed evil's playstyle a lot, i really hope he wins next big tournament, and props to rapha, well deserved win, even if (imo) evil was superior on the finals i think he lost the moment he was dropped to LB on rapha's hands.

amazing event !

I just regained access to the storage server that houses the demos for QuakeCon 2013 (they were automatically collected and sent to an on-site storage ftp server).

I just downloaded 5.4gb of demos, screenshots, and CONFIGs.

For all those of you who were worried, we have them. I should get them organized and online by early next week.
