'Twas a huge ping difference, 120 raphas's vs 70 agent's, but still. Had a strange feeling as if watching a pair of sportsmen who shouldn't even meet in this version of universe. Like, Karpov playing Fisher. Wish a better ping for their future games.

Yeah, it seemed for a moment as a sigh of inevitable agents domination. But the truth is that a great part of his strength are those 100 000 (or moar?) duels he played that keeping his game almost automatical, full based on reflexes. And changing fov so dramatically it seems kicked that pillar of his play off his feet. Tsar simply found out that he actually HAS to play, to invest some of his precious energy instead of rolling his usual sweet routine while sipping Okhota beer. And Tsar is lazy as fuck, so he's back to the one and only righteous fov.
fov puzzled me lately, even though I am sure that the settings don't make the player.
in case of agent, since he has the worst aim from pro players, lowering his fov makes sense for sure (even his "bad" aim, makes sense with such a high fov).
absolutely it would. The only advantage I got when using high FOV was being able to spot player models out of the corner of my eye. Lower FOV wouldn't have seen the model and you can see this when spec'ing other players.
I use 103 or 105 right now, I think. I have progressively decreased it over the years when I had it at 125 in RA3.
I remember once Rapha and agent played each other in an online cup, possibly one of the zotacs when Rapha was over in Europe for some lan event. This was when agent was still relatively unknown, anyways he beat Rapha and typed "gg noob" in the end, so cocky, great games iirc.
Lol, yeah, I remember) they played dm13 and ztn if I'm not mistaken. Besides this troll crap, agent do respects rapha, on his stream before last qcon he was praying rapha's approach, "that's how you prepare to win the tourney" and so on.
rapha didnt won all the games, but doing it even once against european #2 with 120 ping is very strong, considering agent is playng tons of quake and rapha very rarely.
just watch the start on dm13. agent gets ra+mh spawn and still gets 3 frags behind.
Im pretty sure rapha is still the best player and probably will always be :)
