it's awesome to see you do these. thinking maybe about playing a bit here and there? I'm a newschool fag, but even i know that polos is rulez and the scene is very exciting and relaxed right now.

I think I could come next QuakeCon if it will be announced... but not sure about weekly onlines... maybe tdm but have no team

tdm is easy nowadays, www.tdmpickup.eu and #qlpickup.ru is the way to get around, then just play with 102 :)

nobody leaves quake.

NOT EVEN POLOS <3

#qlpickup.ru :)

Any relation to Vladimir Tarasenko? :<>

Just wondering, what did you do with all your prize money from the Quake era? :)

Enhanced and English : ]

IS RULEZ, OFC

[++++++]

Polosatiy !

woooo

"In rus we prefer t2 and t4 instead of ztn. Actually I cannot find someone to practice on ztn. NOBODY wants to play it in Moscow."

MIND BLOWN

if was 2000 ;) map has been just released, maybe six months ;)

got it. ztn was the old sinister
=)

.

ye i think pace/balance wise silence is leaps and bounds ahead

silence is by far the worst map from all the new ones. ask any pro

It's mostly due to it's colours

nope, shitty flow and architechture without any sense for subtlety

.

yup, i was suprised aswell

.

Damage through floors. Good ol times. :)

it was prestigious of couse but not a real tournament

.

It was EU vs US show-tourney.

the US team was pretty shite tho

As always :)

well, there were better US players that time, but they couldn't make it. (cba to list them ofc)

Yes i know there was a lot of good players. Zero4 and Chaoticz are two of them. Ending a statement with a :) usually refers to that it is meant as a joke.

btw guys does anyone have rare demos (not AVIs) of Q3 TEST?

like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UsgPdAu-nY

need it for an article

haha lg so op in q3test

You can take a look around here and here for more demos from that time.

its really rare, thank you!

LOX-vs-lobosatiy-q3tourney2-(LOX)

lox its me ;)))

not exactly q3test but might be interesting anyway: http://www.esreality.com/post/2057987

I just added these to http://demos.igmdb.org

I really liked the emphasis on the context of the matches, players, tournaments and time era rather than dry game analysis. This is unique.

there were some pretty funny comments too, "This is where the mega spawns, but not for me."

yeah that too

Yeah, really nice and creative use of english by a non-native speaker. Polos, you sound like a really interesting guy! And thanks for the top-notch content.

This is really good stuff!!!

This is pure gold.

Don't use q3mme, better use wolfcamql(it's compatible with q3)

I think something wrong with my q3... both q3mme and wolf are not working,
can anyone upload "q3 full full package" with stuff working for me? because I've got my version just from internet, just random website

how old r u now? u play ql?

He never plays games, he just owns games :

http://www.quakelive.com/#!profile/summary/Polosatiy

will turn 32 in 1,5 month
not playing ql yet, did account for spectation... but I will play I think, just give me more time to "come back" - just oo much new around ;)

COMEBACK!!!

man fuck quake live go q3.playground.ru:27963

were you hanging at dinamit club in zhulebino like ages ago btw?

what brought you back after all these years?

i suggest you to start focusing on lg, it's so overused (and shit) now in ql :)

Great idea. Really great. Good old times in Quake... Polosatiy, PELE [PK], Pow3r, Demon, Satan, Mikes, evil, Cooller, uNKind, LeXeR, b100.kik, b100.death, Morfez e t.c.

Wanna see some epics from historical clash of titans - Polosatiy vs. Pele. )

polos is rulez

"Perhaps I am yellow submarine"
Amazing video!!

good stuff

watched in russian - excellent comments. also look how less lg was used back in the days, made game look more interesting.

More interesting? The game was awefully boring imo.

newbreed hitscan whores don't understand the beauty of old quake

nostalgic old farts can't grasp the complexity of modern-day quake ;)

That was the beginning of quake III ...
On recent games, you are raped. So be respectful ok ?.

You make hitsu look like Einstein.

I retract my comment.

I guess what they mean is, you can still grasp the complexity of modern-day quake, but appreciate how beautiful and relatively simple Q3 was in the beginning. It all depends whether you started learning to play quake in the early 00s or not. If so, you will have fond memories and will not find it boring in the slightest. imo

edit: I guess ffx has already said it better than I could: " The game has evolved and without a personal connection you don't get that nostalgia feeling."

i doubt 15 year old kids remember watching jordan or magic play, but if they consider lebron and kobe more interesting to watch because the game "evolved", i automatically consider them retarded.

This so true, Jordan is the Pele of Basketball.

What a retarded mentality. Old must be better than new because.... Get off my lawn!

Things that evolve and get better are interesting. Wine, people, games, anything. It doesn't take away from previous accomplishments - it adds to them. Standing on the shoulder of giants, and all that.

Retards are the guys who introduced the "old is better than new" element in a discussion where noone even said it, which is pretty easy to find out after couple of scrolling motions.

thing is this is not modern-day quake ;) its very simple to understand ;) somebody likes retro - he will enjoy games, somebody doesn't - its more than just normal too

is that why the same players are always on top with the newbreed getting 5th-8th place?

Edit: i'm being generous with 5th-8th

Not sure what you're getting at. That actually is a major part of the reason, yes.

The oldschool players learning from stuff like this are the guys who are winning every single LAN in quakelive. Those are the people who "can't grasp the complexity of modern-day quake". Endquote.

If i could make it more simple, i would.

Don't pretend you didn't understand who I meant with "nostalgic old farts". Protip: It's not players who are winning every single lan event.

so the "nostalgic old fart that can't grasp the complexity of modern-day quake ;)" is supposed to be me, while the guy who thinks 2001 polosatiy stuff is crap, while being extremely relevant for the professional quake scene is you?

cool story bro. please don't enlighten me anymore.

protip: i'm ~3 years away from the guys placing top 3

so the "nostalgic old fart that can't grasp the complexity of modern-day quake ;)" is supposed to be me

If you consider matches from 1999/2000 to be more interesting gameplay-wise than games from our current era - yes then it is supposed to be you.

while the guy who thinks 2001 polosatiy stuff is crap

Don't put words in my mouth. What I've said doesn't have anything to do with polosatiy personally, nor did I call anything crap. That doesn't mean, however, that the game hasn't progressed after all those years and become much more balanced and interesting. For the record I enjoyed this video by polosatiy very much (not because of the gameplay).

while being extremely relevant for the professional quake scene

wat

protip: i'm ~3 years away from the guys placing top 3

i hope you're gonna find that written somewhere other than your head. i'll wait.

Continue being stupid.

You've been talking to Jamerio too much, you're starting to make as much sense as him.

Terribly sorry to make you look stupid with quoting something i clearly never said and copy-pasting birthdates from google. Noone forced you to do this, just your choice. So learn something from it.

Thanks for the lesson jam.

proven 0/2

if something so simple makes no sense to you, that's bad news. instead of sincere apologies for being ignorant you write random shit, but hey, that's another way to go.

done.

Boring, let me know when you'll have a point.

Is typing random shit supposed to help you in any way?

I don't have to resort to typing random shit because you have that covered already.

That's fine, just in the future please state that you're trolling from the start, so i don't waste my time reading you making shit up, then ignoring it.

This is why Jam-Jam have been able to destroy you a lot at debates, you always root for the inferior end of things.

Instead of appreciating the advanced play of the newschool era and tend to be stuck in the past living in your "OLD SCHOOL WONDERLAND".

Well I can't blame you, it's fun being the underdog, you get the hero type of feeling. But make no mistake fairy tales don't work on the real world son.

Typical ESR underdog mentality.

Oh yeah btw Rapha is way better than your national(overrated) hero cooller.

"Why go for mediocrity, if you can strive for perfection."

Hi Jamerio.

Doubt that's Jamerio, cause apart from being delusional, this guy presumes cooller is my national hero. Maybe it is Jamerio, after sniffing glue or something.

Maybe it is Jamerio, after sniffing glue or something.

Why not? It's not as if he can afford "real" drugs.

**KEYBOARD ERROR**

Twister isn't a hitscan whore (sick rail, lg lala :D).
He understands the game better than you do or good enough to make such a statement.
People who haven't played/watched that area will find these demos just plain boring. The game has evolved and without a personal connection you don't get that nostalgia feeling.

Example.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YN4dol3D4k

First cs movie I have ever seen. A fucking gem. From todays perspective a mediocre movie with cheesy music but I still have a good feeling when I watch it. Guess the same here applies too. Doesn't change the fact that the play wasn't very high compared to now.

tl:dr

lg rulz

or this vid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYT14fEF8Y8

siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick ( yet they cheated :D)

>People who haven't played/watched that area will find these demos just plain boring.

yes thats a fact. i like it a lot!

i still think the video has something to offer for every newschooler because the commentary rock so much and the match is put in a context and a timephase - from the player himself. i smiled a lot. sometimes it looks akward with all the newer matches in mind.

tl:dr

lg rulz

one hitscan whore, protecting another hitscan whore :D

I wasn't protecting twister. I might be a hitscan whore (my rockets were on today, like real on :D) but twister isn't.

1. i dont belive you :D
2. his weapon of choice is rail.

Twister isn't a hitscan whore (sick rail, lg lala :D).
He understands the game better than you do or good enough to make such a statement.

well now that you write these words, they should be considered a fact.

People who haven't played/watched that area will find these demos just plain boring.

of course, just the same as ali vs frazier matches, classic football matches in 70s / 80s, cause boxing evolved and football evolved so that shit is inferior. idiots don't understand classics. join the club. but don't expect me to approve your idiocy.

well now that you write these words, they should be considered a fact.

Have you ever played twister? I have in the past 2-3 years and from my experience I can tell that he is a very positional player (like the way he engages fights and is hard to hit). Tbh his weaknesses are actually timing and aim (lg and constant rail). And if he doesn't hit he gets very predictable tho he might play completely different vs higher tier players. Anyway what I'm trying to say is that the guy has a very good understanding of the game. So yeah I'd value his opinion over yours kewler fanboy.

of course, just the same as ali vs frazier matches, classic football matches in 70s / 80s, cause boxing evolved and football evolved so that shit is inferior. idiots don't understand classics. join the club. but don't expect me to approve your idiocy.

I have played and followed football my whole life and yet I don't consider classics as interesting :x. I've seen 90s football and still prefer the current football (I miss zidane tho (( best player ever). Same with the 70s. I don't have to appreciate it even tho they were the best back then. Why should I? Game was overall slower, less tactical and not as interesting as nowadays. Same applies to the demo above. And as I said if you don't have a personal connection to it it is quite hard to enjoy it. You probably saw and enjoyed it and seeing it now brings up a lot of memories for you even so there is no reason to get offensive when someone calls them boring.
So either my english is too bad or you are the one who is slightly retarded ..

i don't give a fuck.

Out of arguements, are we? Or realized you were wrong from the beginning? Jamerio much?

See you at the next discussion, when cooller gets unlucky again ;)

More interesting? The game was awefully boring imo.

how about you use that single synapse in your little brain to comprehend a situation where someone's trying to explain to a certain person that they shouldn't have enjoyed something that they did?

when you do, implement my "i don't give a fuck" next to you prefering football of today to football of 70s and 80s, because apart from being too stupid to understand i never said that 2001 quake is "better" than quake of today, i also never said that the sports of 70s and 80s are "better" than sports of today. you and your friend twister just made that one up, or were just too stupid not to realize it wasn't ever said.

now that we analyzed your stupidity to the detail, stop boring me with ignorance. you're wasting my time, and i don't have the time to explain every single thing to an intellectually inferior dude on the internet.

but you sure love to argue.

My last reply on this topic.

how about you use that single synapse in your little brain to comprehend a situation where someone's trying to explain to a certain person that they shouldn't have enjoyed something that they did?

Nowhere have I said anything like that. All I did was oppose cerboz' statement that a nerfed lg makes the game more interesting and expressed my opinion that it made the game boring to watch.

when you do, implement my "i don't give a fuck" next to you prefering football of today to football of 70s and 80s, because apart from being too stupid to understand i never said that 2001 quake is "better" than quake of today, i also never said that the sports of 70s and 80s are "better" than sports of today. you and your friend twister just made that one up, or were just too stupid not to realize it wasn't ever said.

Exactly the opposite actually, you made that up. I never said you thought quake in 2001 was better than today. I actually never said anything about you at all before you started going full retard. I stated that if someone considers the game play in the video more interesting than it is in quake live then said person must be wearing nostalgic googles. Judging by the major butthurt you displayed in this thread I can only asume it applies to you though.

Nowhere have I said anything like that. - right.

If you consider matches from 1999/2000 to be more interesting gameplay-wise than games from our current era - yes then it is supposed to be you. - quote.
if you didn't even presume anyone thinks this, dunno why bring it up in the first place? is that even an argument or just a random line of text then?

nostalgic old farts can't grasp the complexity of modern-day quake ;)
- quote. you presume that people who still enjoy watching polosatiy and lakerman are clueless about the game being 3X more complex today. again - wrong. i don't know when did you get into quake (couple of years even?), but the first i've seen/played was blue and fatal1ty playing t4 back in 2000 which probably labels me as "nostalgic". and yeah, there is nothing about "modern" quake that i don't understand. sorry.

as far as the "old" part goes:
protip: i'm ~3 years away from the guys placing top 3


in your dreams maybe

didn't get this one. dunno if you did.


anyway - you're replying to a wrong post. throwing random butthurt terms is random.

Dunno what makes you think I'm friends with twister. I respect him as a player and that's it.

Oh yeah, you are a superior human. I'm really sry that I wasted your time. Got one word for you. Spast ...

Was very interesting to watch imo, especially through nostalgia goggles. Quake was big that days and you can feel excitement and thrill of players watching these games.

So it's interesting because of the game's context, not because of a lack of lg.

y u heff to be mad?

Bryzgalov is $$$$

Not only context. It's also pertaining to an actual top tier metagame for it's day, rather than just two bad players failing at 1100 ELO.

It's a matter of opinion :D
ql is boring as fuk...

Watched the russian one, was very interesting to hear you. Liked both videos, subscribed! Hope more will come :)

What a surprise this is. I am going to watch this after dinner.

Man, a miss the good old early 2000s. I was poor and stupid, but things sure were a lot more fun. Sometimes I feel like it's time to stop having so much fun with StarCraft 2 and go back to Quake. Maybe I will, though I am already in my pyjamas :D

Good old game here :

Versus the king cooller.

This guys voice... is awesome.

No joke. We need more of this guy commenting videos.

u welcome, I really enjoy doing it
next one is gonna be soon, just need to recover after sickness - my voice is really terrible right now ;)

Next Faceit's guest.
:-)

Too bad faceit don't accept existence of skype. Flying someone from Moscow to Milan will be too costey.

Flying from Moscow to Milan isn't that expensive actually. Make it happen roychez!

This match looks like 1200 elo match of today. :/

i'd totally LG him down

It looks like that, but try to run PC from those days and version of Q3. You will shit your pants.

And ball mouse.

And those fucking mousepads...

and 50ms built in lag

On new map (ztn3dm1 was new at that time).

and the game has been out for a year in 2000

and 60Hz 15' monitor

Ehm? 120hz crt was pretty standard at this time :)

C-C-C-Combobreaker

It depends. I can't remember any of my friends having 120Hz monitor. Eventually knowledge about that was very limited and no one knew it is worth to change refresh rate :). I bought my first 120Hz CRT monitor in 2007 (for ~25 EURO).

not true. I had 85Hz@800x600 15inch crt... and I can't recall many of my friends to have 120Hz one at that time.

I got a shitty 14" in 1999 that was 120hz cabable. All tournaments(at that time that I attended) I was at had 120hz capable monitors aswell.

Maybe people didnt know how to find the info on how to overclock the monitors to 120hz. Cause it really was possible with the right tools(pstrip or other "driverhacks")

what mousepads? :D

Probably 1/4 size you have now. Surface was still good tbh.

Well, that's the next six months of quotations sorted.

"You can build a small house in the plasma room if you want"

Thank you Polosatiy :)

Talk about a blast from the past. :o

"try to damage through floor, today it looks funny. but... not so funny as his failed rocket jump" I died )))))

can't wait to see you playing again polos! if it wasnt for this guy we'd have no cooller!

You can take a man out of the Quake, but you can't take the Quake out of the man.

Roman, aka Polos - have You a some kind of your's POV demos archive? Like HAL9000's 2+GB demos presented a few weeks ago. Don't be ashamed, I think that you have a lot of fans there, and in Russia too. Have You at least a few favorite 1x1/TDM demos non-presented in the WEB?

PS, i'll watch later, 10/10.

POLOS DEMOS!

- I've all of them, since c58 was protoquake site, non cs-only. I said: "non presented in the WEB".

wasn't replying to you

vs

So nice to see old-timers coming back to spend some time on the game again, and remind us that it has a history to look back to. Very much appreciated.

Also, that phrase of Laker "grabbing some rockets to cool him down" made for a hearty laugh indeed. Very lovely commentary.

SHIT JUST GOT REAL.

POLOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I'd spray more jizz than peter north if he starts dueling again

Man, this video reveals quake's true purpose: good friends, memorable stories, humor and balls-out skill/strategy from hard work and practice.

++ Polos' voice has so much character and depth, the flip side of a blues singer who endured real hardships; instead, a legendary player who genuinely enjoyed his victories and could still smile at his mistakes.
Kept it real before anybody knew what keeping it real was.

"bazooka" $$$$$$$

Listenable pop music, jobs, no social media, no spying, no war on terror, and quake in the mainstream. Man I wish I could go back to 2000 sometimes.

Aye!

all spot on

no spying?

It's not like you playing quake in 2000 will prevent terrorism from happening. Think big bro

No Jamerio or ZHU.

His online escape was still safe ;)

faq that!

thx, polos. true oldschool. let's get it on =)

well u cant judge the level of play in this demo by today's standards. the game has had 13 years of evolution - changes in game speed, physics, hitboxes etc., changes in hardware, changes in experience and skill (more game time and more competition yield more skill)

The level of play is already high here :

polos vs aimbot

Resolution is overrated. ;)

Really great video. I liked your colorful commentary, and your ability to admit your weaknesses. Before watching this video, I had never heard of you. It would be really cool to see you play at Quakecon ;)

Do you always play with a blue tankjr?

hello and thank you!:)
Maybe next quakecon, yeah ;)
p.s. I play with tankjr/pm (acid green) but decide use classic color for my first vod

Hello ;)
Blue looks awesome. \o/

A titan returns, hope to see you in the weekly faceit tournaments :)

This is great stuff Polos! Keep it up :)

Polo is back :

http://www.quakelive.com/#!profile/matches/Polosatiy

Already raping cooke (pavel) a lot.
And playing somes TDM games with cooller.
Impressive.

cooke != kook

Lol ok.
Funny team 102 (cooke, kook ...).

Duuuuuude
Cooke is very average russian player and they split 50/50.
What's impressive about playing with cooller?

Polos plays like random noob right now. Give him a few months and he will maybe start having a chance at getting a frag vs pavel.

Looser.

And jealous.

Of whom and what exactly? Why do you find it so hard to accept the truth?

1/

> Cooke is very average russian player

Yeah sure. He won 84 % duel (1,880 wins).

2/

> Polos plays like random noob right now

First games he is playing, and is able to beat a Cooke on many games.

==========
Conclusion :
==========

You are just jealous.
Actually Polosatiy aim is not ok (this is why he loses Eye to Eye games).
He is not a random noob.

This threat is not for you ! so leave now.

The delusion is strong with this one.

Cooke = manager of 102, Kook = Pavel - polos doesn't play him
