Underlined: I did not upload this demo for myself. I am not proud of the game I've been unwillingly crowned as the guy who made strenx retire, without having done anything basically.
I uploaded it because of the high demand from people in the community.
I didn't enjoy the match by any means, nor did I try my best to maximize my result, as I was sure I would get raped.
Strenx basically gave up before the match had even started. What was I to do? Just forfeit myself instead? Nah, I continued in spite of the horrible match it was.
sothis can be proud to beat strenx BUT it is kinda obvious that strenx lacks a huge amount of focus in this game which is his fault cause Sothis seems to be a duel player who will not forgive such an approach, no matter how good.
strenx has complained about sound issues before on his streams. not sure how much it is whine and how much objective truth but in this game he seemed to look the wrong way or caught completely off guard more often that you would expect from such a high caliber player.
sound is fucked up for everybody because sound is fucked up in qlive. This is fact confirmed by id.
(they'll just tell you 3d sound isnt broken because 3d sound does not exist in the code. Well that is about as broken as you can get imo lol, for a 3d dm game...)
OK, thanks for confirming. Back after years of inactivity I'm constantly caught off guard and wondering whether QL is fucked or I'm just totally not used to the sound anymore...
I wasnt in the right mindset to begin with, as I was humbled by having to play strenx, but agreed, its been better. Promise I'll improve on it though :p
Just doesnt feel right. The guy said he'd been dabbling with it for some time. But its not a nice way to retire anyway. The /abort didn't bother me the slightest. But doing it before DH like that is just not cool.
Sothis is a good player so he is, I played him so I did once or twice and I gotta say he's a good player so he is. But that Kevin bai is just as good hi
My aim is crap in this match in comparison to my usual form, so it is, without a doubt an act of adding injury to insult would be to say I'm aimbotting it ;>
populair demand my ass... people are mocking kevin to the bone now, while they achieved pretty much nothing in quake... if this is how the community is i rather quit from this pathetic business... so you like to be the man who retired strenx... for that i cant wait who whipe you from your groupstage at dhw, hope it will be tox
I can't be responsible for people mocking strenx, nor am I responsible for people crowning me as the guy who retired him, which, in all honesty, isn't true.
But it's low to think I "like" to be the man who retired strenx. Sure its a fun thought but I'm not putting much into it, as I wholeheartedly didn't enjoy the match at all, nor am I of the belief that I retired him. He was well on his way to retiring before the match begun, as explained already on his facebook. I just did what I had to, to ensure my own advancement.
And by that I mean that I played through the match to the best of my efforts. I doubt you'd want me to simply forfeit the matches and let him advance; I think it's pretty clear he wasn't in shape and as such, I believe I deserved advancing more than he.
Whatever the case may be though, you've got the wrong idea about me. Read my replies to guard and others above.
And relax, please :) Contrary to those you speak of who mock him, I do not wish to mock him. I have enormous respect for him and also made it clear in my warmup with him; not portrayed in the demo though as it only auto-started as we readied up.
in my honest opinion you dont upload a demo against someone who clearly has problems and had other shit going on not too long ago, and now half of the quake community is mocking him, the guy isnt clearly himself and it prolly hurts him more then anyone else i guess to step back from the things he love to become a better person
In my honest opinion: It is not my responsibility to know beforehand that the guy had problems unrelated to quake that made him retire.
Furthermore; if people demand a demo and I happen to have it, I upload it. I didn't do it for myself, but for everyone else requesting it.
Strenx knows perfectly well that demo uploading, whether it being automatic through QLRanks automatic demo uploader that I use as frequently as possible, is a part of verifying wins or losses if it isn't otherwise on record. If he genuinely had a problem with that, he shouldn't be playing quake to begin with.
I find it hard to grasp that I've been the bad guy in this situation.
Whatever reasons he may have, I'm not involved in it, and I shouldn't be taking the hailstorm from the minority that has extraordinarily high sympathy for him and his personal issues.
I do not like that arrogant little frog. But you are acting here like some kinda champion dancing on the tomb of the little baguette. Its awkward. He did not deserve this.
You're welcome to have your opinion on this as much as you please.
But so do I.
So my opinion about you as of right now, is, that for a solidified idea that I'm "acting like a champion dancing on the tomb of the little baguette", you must know something I do not, and furthermore that you haven't given my posts a read.
But I'll humor you: What part of what I've written and done so far in this regard made you come to this conclusion?
"Underlined: I did not upload this demo for myself. I am not proud of the game I've been unwillingly crowned as the guy who made strenx retire, without having done anything basically."
"I can't be responsible for people mocking strenx, nor am I responsible for people crowning me as the guy who retired him, which, in all honesty, isn't true.

"Contrary to those you speak of who mock him, I do not wish to mock him. I have enormous respect for him and also made it clear in my warmup with him"
And theres more ofcourse.
So, what you quoted me on was a joking remark. Everything else that I just quoted myself on, was in all seriousness.
Did you read it before or is it news to you that I feel this way about it? If the first is the case, then please, do enlighten yourself and read the rest of what I've written thus far :)
Sothis, next time you upload a demo, please make sure that your opponent hasn't been dumped by his girlfriend, hasn't lost his job, isn't an emotional wreck or anything of the like. It's the least you can do. Please!
Bla bla bla is all I hear. You are nothing special in QL and will never be. Strenx is one of the true Quake legends. You can play forever and you will never reach his level of fame and skills in Quake. Facts.
Do you actually see anyone mocking strenx' performance in this demo? I didn't.
Strenx unexpectedly announced his retirement on his FB, less than 2 weeks before a LAN he was supposed to attend, and naturally, people are interested in the last incidents which lead to his decision. Why shouldn't they be?
If anything, he is now mocked *less* because people see in the demo that his current performance is far below his usual level and can better understand why he doesn't want to compete at DHW.
Strenx has been the most cocky dude in quake for a long time.. everyone who acts like that knows that anytime he shows weakness it's gonna backfire imediatly and in good fashion.
So far he almost always had the goods to back up the cockyness.. but don't expect people to be nice to him when he fails. I don't even think he expects that..
You can't compare those two.. maybe you can say cooller isn't the nicest or more social person in quake, and that he reacts bad when he loses.. but the level of childish behaviour strenx has displayed all over, in pubs, private or official games is nowhere near the same level.
I always want to judge someones act myself , and not listen to what others say. But after watching his stream and he is just sitting there and talking about how stupid the other players are, well then rightly served if he get it right back at him .
Well, when we look at you, you are just unable to have any cricticism and or objective opinion about strenx.
Surely it is bad to trash talk on him like that because he lost his GF and all but, in the other hand he is not all clean.
objectively we can say he was a top player, from a very rich family who doesn't care if he dont make studies or work etc. He also was a giant whiner, he made a very bad reputation to france etc. maybe he should go back immigrate to spain.
Yeah ooops! i talked aoubt a tabouuuu in esports. Shhhhhhhhhhhhh! Sociology is so great))
i think strenx went into some kind of psychosis from the flashbacks about the game vs rapha at dreamhack and started seeing the mighty shane bunny hop around toxicity shooting lazery beams
Guys ffs, its a game, Sothis beat Strenx, who fucking cares if strenx's not at top? Why did he even play then. Should we be responsible for peoples own actions?
Get real and understand the crap that alot of you idiots are writing. Strenx's could rape noobs, yell at them and calling people names. If he even gets one demo like this, its ok. Who care's if he's dumped by a girl or not playing well? Its fucking life dudes, deal with it.
Why QL have these z-axis sounds issues? Id has released this errors in some update readme? I hear Q3 have same problems, cuz a3d was disabled in pr1.27g. CS1.6 too. But I know about it in Q1, Q2 or Q4
