feaJz - zubich?

it is yay0, seems like he changed his priority from QL to CPM

its fearzz

no

then who?
his challonge account is the same as the one he uses to participate in 125fps cups

impossible!

I would ban him preventively...screw presumption of innocence :D

H A L _ 9 0 0 0

I predict a repeat of last years top 4...

If they're all actually going to play.

I can see fearz causing upsets if he has a good day http://puu.sh/cjL42/ee1f102f66.jpg

pretty solid player, and a cool guy to play with!
glhf guys

Demos or VODs anywhere?

from 102 stream: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL81RL9O...uMEFGS9-uL

Looking good.

Go team ballsak, right there.

I'm flattered to be invited but there's a possibility I won't be able to make it. You should have a sub in mind.

I can sub you ;-)

I got a feeling Fazz coukd take this with 3 days to a weeks notice of practice only cpma.

... and then he forfeits after 1 match to play indie games on his stream.
honestly, he just lacks the motivation.

i think something in his cfg is seriously messed up, at least i dont have the feeling that i hit rails that i should have missed (when enemy is gone round the corner) and vice versa

netcode feels great to me

gl beating gaiia, rokky or memphis after 3 days XD

I agree watchjng gaiia and memphis together can make ur head spinn. Maybe a couple weeks :p

is fazz even playing?

he was supposed to play the last cup, but was no where to be seen

Someone needs to seriously sort out streams for this.

And I don't mean some random people running a stream constantly opening console and fucking around.

I mean proper presentation.

would be cool if ddk could find some time to stream the finals, as he played cpm/qw himself

edit: or zoot <3

ZLive would be fine if they sorted out their cfg, the part of the cup they streamed last year looked like ass.

yeah, last year's cup was really cool with nekon and ddk!

ddk stated on esr he has no internet for the duration of this tourney I think
Zlive has stated they have no intentions to cast CPM in the future because the community wasn't organized enough or something (as opposed to 125fps where everybody plays their games on time and nobody forfeits their games at the last moment ever).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaG5SAw1n0c

Actually stopped casting/streaming cpm as regularly since a cpm event that had a guy in the finals that was controlled by multiple different people throughout the tournament (who may or may not have wallhacked). A deliberately toxic community that obviously didn't care about receiving support. yes yes, what I said here doesn't apply to all cpm players: but if it's not unanimously decided by the small community that they're going to welcome effort, then I'm not bothered about ignoring it.

I'm sorry but this is pure ignorance. Yes, the zoid thing was just embarrassing but it wasn't and isn't nor do I expect it to ever be the norm for the CPM community (in fact it wouldn't even surprise me if 'zoid' wasn't even aware of you casting and if they were I doubt they really cared). Need I remind anyone of the drama of last years' masters cup, simply because zubich was involved? The majority of the community are just guys who love playing CPM. That's it. There is no other reason to play it anymore. The community is too small to act like a dick all the time, so most people just try to be nice to each other (in the duel scene at least). In fact, after two years of playing semi-actively, I can count the number of assholes I've met on one hand.

I can understand plenty of reasons not to cast CPM. Why bother casting 17 dudes play each other irregularly and watch the one who's most sober (or has the best weed :P) win? Why bother putting up with the inevitable backlash from the vanilla community? Why bother finding servers and sorting out configs? Those are all valid reasons, based on the factual state of the CPM community. Yours however, is based on a poorly timed, singular incident caused by two guys.

Well there is another reason why zoot is so butthurted over 2013 Masters.

was caused by more than one guy (at least from what I know). I'm sure they knew it was being broadcasted, and if they did know and refused to care then that goes on to validate what I said. I do know that the community there isn't so one dimensional like you describe (i.e. everyone being happy clappy friends together).

good luck to the cup

'zoid' was zubich and ethad sharing a nick, two guys. As for whether or not they did it to deliberately mess with your broadcast we will never know, but considering they were already doing it before your channel even came into the picture, I very much doubt it.

And I'm sure your opinion on the current state of the cpm community is based on extensive experience interacting with them.

Having played cpm quite a lot and lived with 8bitlobster - I feel as if I have enough of an idea about the community to create some sort of judgement.

lmao touche

as a couple ?

sensitive topic :(

K.O.

Hate that fkn crustacean.

Consider that in last year's tournament, the person holding the funds, entered the qualifiers with a hack. Why would anyone want to be involved with something like that?

^____^

L-2 got invited. LOL.

what funny?

and he is 3rd !

Won't be able to make this one :(

Sorry folks.

:[[[[[[[[[[[[

Well, that is unfortunate. Perhaps there's a little chance yet?

First - change your tone to more respectful. I'm a man and never crying. I can beat anyone on this planet in cpm, remember this. Anyone. =] (c) Vladímir "Lunokhod-2" Putin

Hell yea well put

wp.

its nice to see how a couple of players have managed to one up the skill level of top level duel in cpm, even after all these years.

Remember when the DSG times when gaiia(/myself) was still very much new? :D

that's because there has never been a real scene in a game like this
