Heartless off probation (11 comments)
Posted by He4rTL3sS @ 05:54 CDT, 20 May 2013 - iMsg
I think that I deserve to be removed from probation level

I mean, I'm a big star now, everybody knows me, I got a lot of fans, and I'm one of the best quake player ever, along with cooller, rapha, cypher and evil. Everyone loves and respect me, because I practiced hard to be at the top, but there I am!

If that happens, I'll probably post more pictures of me and my muscular body, because everyone is a little bit homosexual, especially those who suffer from homophobia. I mean, people like to look at me, because I'm such an handsome guy, people respect me a lot, just like they respect Brad Pitt or George Clooney.

So, pls, heartless off probation!

P.S.: I'm sorry for you if you are ugly and/or fat, but not everyone can be good looking like heartless, I know, life is hard sometime. But as long as you're not a hater, it's ok really, maybe you're a funny guy, girls like funny guys.

Moving again, opinions? (7 comments)
Posted by tbone @ 04:18 CDT, 20 May 2013 - iMsg
After being back in SA for the last 3 years, my bones are itching to move somewhere again. My girlfriend of the past 2 years also wants to go somewhere (She has never been out the country) so we have been discussing different places to move. My brother lives in Brisbane (AU) and has been wanting us to move there too, but the whole process of getting in there is expensive and complicated, especially when I have Italian citizenship and can live anywhere in Europe.

Some stats about me, I just turned 30 (yay.), have no debt and about $10 000 in assets. I am a native English speaker, but also speak Italian and Afrikaans (bastard dutch) and can read a bit of German.

I have about 10 years IT experience, 5 of those being programming experience, mostly specializing in: Python, Javascript, web2py/django, sql (sqlite, mysql, mssql), php, asp, vb, linux, apache, nginx, cpanel/whm setup, bash scripting etc. , git and cannot think of other relevant stuff while I am writing this out quickly.

Anyway, so we've been going through different european countries trying to figure out where we would like to go, and I would like to ask the opinions of other people. A lot of places have been eliminated due to language barriers, including Germany and Italy, because although my italian is functional, it work take me another year or so to get up to work level. I also don't really want to go to England again, but due to ease I have it as an option.

Holland:
Holland has some benefits, because everyone speaks english, and we would probably be able to learn dutch in a few months (90% of the vocabulary is the same as afrikaans), but I get the feeling it will be very crowded, and something else I'm not sure of makes we want to avoid it. Not being able to speak dutch straight away might stop us from getting work. My brother also lived there with his family for a year, and he liked it, but not to live.

England (Not London):
We are specifically looking at Bristol, as one of my girlfriend's friends lives there, and it sounds like a nice cultural, big, but not too big place. Looks like there are plenty of IT jobs, the downside being that it's England, and I've been there, and might feel crappy after living in London.

Norway:
Norway came up as an alternative to Iceland (below), but I'm not sure, because I am thinking it may be too similar to Sweden which I visited, and wouldn't really want to live there, but on paper it seems really nice, haven't really looked into it that much yet, so just want opinions.

The last 2 are our top 2 choices.

Iceland:
It's a pretty weird choice, but it looks like a really great place to live for at least a couple of years. We like the idea of living in a place that is the complete opposite of what we are used to (warm, crowded, poverty, bleh) they all speak english and it sounds like it's pretty easy to get work as a programmer.

Ireland:
Lots of benefits on paper, like same language, IT jobs, nice culture, friendly people etc. Main worry for me is the economy and whether it is too similar to england... and I am afraid I won't be able to understand what anyone says!


So yeah those are the ones we have been looking at. I have a soft spot for Eastern Europe and Germany, but the salaries/language barrier will probably be too difficult to overcome. We will probably go and check out Bristol, Ireland and Iceland on holiday next year.

TL;DR: I want your opinions of the countries in bold above.

Site - vids, vods, guide (5 comments)
Posted by esdf @ 18:41 CDT, 19 May 2013 - iMsg
This started just as a page I could host my ctf guide on and ended being some sort of a hub for ql related stuff.

So, the relevant stuff:

url: http://ql.esdf.in/, http://www.youtube.com/user/supesdf
content: ctf guide, frag movies, tournament vods, demos, configs, huds

the ctf guide is not really finished, latest update being may 10th, but it's 3/4 done, so I'm comfortable with posting here. The front page will get a redesign some time this year, depends when I get the time.

guide is basically all me until may 10th version, when it got heavily populated with raist's contributions (so I've just put the guy as co-author). i suggest you download the pdf or html, as the on-site version got quite bulky (wall-of-text bulky). might give that l2p page a redesign as well.

as far as fragvids go, uploaded a ton, mostly didn't check with authors if it's ok, so if for some reason you find your video being mirrored by me on site and youtube and don't like it, query on irc or leave a comment here, i'll remove it.

in the end, thanks to everyone who uploaded their demos, configs, etc. if there's more people interested in contributing in such a way, leave a comment here or query on irc.

edit: in case you missed it on site, here's a wallpaper contrib to quakelive scene by ahxnxa (nsfw).

justin-player twitch vods without flash (14 comments)
Posted by fau @ 15:11 CDT, 18 May 2013 - iMsg
Another journal entry - another state-of-the-art bash script allowing you to avoid Adobe's excellent software.
Twitch.tv's flash player has been terrible recently - huge cpu load, framedrops and slow buffering.

livestreamer (and the little script I wrote) fixed the situation when it comes to live streams but watching recorded vods was still pain in the a**. Until now.


Here are few ttyshots for you enjoyment:


There are still some features I have in mind but I've decided that it's enough for myself. If you are using it then let me know and I may release v1.1 one day.
There may be some bugs - I didn't test it enough. Please let me know about them.
I enjoyed writing it and learned few nice bash tricks in the progress. I hope you enjoy it too :-)

Its come to a point people get shocked when they realize mr pro isnt this fake mr nice and actually tells them to fuck off. I can picture folk ripping posters off their bedroom walls while in floods of tears when they realize mr pro is just a normal everyday guy that gets fucked off with the constant hounding by little fanboys.

EpicRewind (No comments)
Posted by esdf @ 09:52 CDT, 18 May 2013 - iMsg
http://www.reddit.com/r/esports/comments/1dle...ch_uses_a/


What is EpicRewind?

EpicRewind is PC software which provides "instant-replay" or DVR like video capture functionality to PC games. When running, your gameplay video is continuously buffered in fast System RAM, the contents of this buffer can be saved to a file with the press of a hotkey. Instead of pre-planning a gaming video you can selectively save the highlight moments after they happen. Ideal for MMOs and Multiplayer games where 99% of the gameplay isn't worth sharing and the interesting stuff can happen at unexpected times.
Awesome Performance

EpicRewind is different than other capture software you might be familiar with, video isn't being encoded and written to disk continuously. Instead, EpicRewind simply copies raw video frames into a rolling buffer in system RAM, writing to disk and encoding is deferred until you choose to save a video. This keeps your average system load to an absolute minimum and helps minimize the impact on your gameplay experience.
also, on linux version
from Zugdud sent 23 hours ago

Greetings! We would like to do Mac OSX and Linux ports eventually but first we are focusing on making the Windows version really solid/awesome. Would love to get that done eventually though
seems like a nice tool.

Hey everybody. The SQD Fuel Cup #1 is now over and Guismo12 took the win against dem0n in a great double bo3 series. I encourage you to watch the grand final because it was really entertaining. Guismo12 gave an impressive railgun show, versus a somewhat weird dem0n launching good rockets but failing a lot with rails.

Unfortunately, strenx and Sev3n forfeited the competition early. That cup also allowed us to discover Yojji, the algerian player that performed pretty good.

3) What contribution in championships would you be arranged?

FACEIT announce Points Cups & More (66 comments)
Posted by roychez @ 14:20 CDT, 17 May 2013 - iMsg
Dear FACEIT and Quake followers,

After many months of supporting Quake Live, we had much feedback that you wanted more, bigger and better. We have worked hard to make this happen. What does this mean? More tournaments, more prizes, and more fun.

We will be hosting a minimum of eight FACEIT Points Tournaments a day starting coming Monday. In these tournaments you will be able to win points. After you have gathered a certain amount of FACEIT Points you will be able to exchange these points for prizes in our new Shop, such as hardware, but also special prizes such as a holiday in Andora, Stermy's place of birth, or a FACEIT branded Fiat 500 (yes, a real car!).

These FACEIT Points Tournaments are free to join up to four times per month. The flagship tournaments such as the Sunday Cups and Pick Up Games are still open for everyone and do not count towards the four monthly tournaments.

If you want to play more, you can upgrade your account to Unlimited or Premium. Unlimited will give you access to as many FACEIT Points Tournaments as you wish, while you can play in one Premium Tournament per month. Besides this, you will receive a badge on your profile, stating you as a "Supporter" of FACEIT. This all for as low as £2.99 per month.

Premium users will have all services available to them for as low as £5.99 per month. While they get all that Free and Unlimited users receive, they will be able to play in an unlimited amount of Premium Tournaments. Next to this they will receive a 1.5x FACEIT Points boost, access to Premium Prizes and a badge stating you as "Premium Supporter".

I give you some material to masturbate. Look how pretty she is. But too bad for you she already has a boyfriend. So if you are ugly or skinny and you feel lonely, it's time to fapfap, otherwise go suicide.
I'm #1 at thunderstruck and I have 2 beautiful sisters, I'm such a lucky guy and a real WINNER. So much people there are ugly and unsuccessful at life, but it's ESR.

Does the G100s have a perfect sensor? (12 comments)
Posted by cqc100 @ 05:36 CDT, 17 May 2013 - iMsg
I used an Abyssus for a few months before I had to sell it because of the jitter (This was ~1 year ago). I'm currently using a G400, but I can't get used to how large it is compared to the Abyssus.

Does the G100s have a perfect sensor (no jitter / no accel / no snapping)?

Does the Abyssus mirrored edition have the same jitter problem as the regular Abyssus?

Lightboost with not-so-fast GPU? (4 comments)
Posted by tsipouro @ 08:49 CDT, 16 May 2013 - iMsg
I plan on buying a desktop PC in a month or two. I didn't own one for around seven years and therefore am not really informed, so I will need a bit of consulting.
I planned on getting a medium-priced PC with a GPU around the price/performance of a GTX 650 (I won't play much besides ql and its predecessors). But is that enough to use lightboost to full extent? I read that one should get a 680 at least to utilize lb at 120hz. Is that only true if one wants to play graphics-intense stuff like bf3&sorts or also for ql?
Btw plan on getting a BenQ xl2411t.

SA PUBLIC TDM: xTc vs nDc (24 comments)

A great rivalry 10 years festering… An epic battle for honour and frags…Two of South Africa South Africa’s greatest and most respected Quakelive teams; the Anti-clan [nDc] and /xTc/, bringers of fear and madness, will take each other on in a true clash of the titans.


South Africa /xTc/ M4nimal, leader of Xperts@Total.Chaos: "Our motto is, LIVE UNTIL YOU DIE, which is exactly what you'll be doing"

South Africa [nDc] Disrupt0r, leader of No Damn Clan Quake division: “What will count tonight is not the size of [nDc] in the fight, it's the size of the fight in [nDc]”

Tonight at 9PM GMT +2, tune into twitch/ZA_Quakelive to watch as these leviathans engage in combat all the more terrifying for its cold and systematic slaughter. It’s time to settle a grudge recorded in the annals of Quake history. This isn't a clan match. This is war.

Is the Zowie FK a viable replacement? (9 comments)
Posted by Anax @ 18:50 CDT, 15 May 2013 - iMsg
I have been using the Zowie EC1 evo for a while now and as far as shape goes it is pretty much the best mouse for me and believe me i have tried a lot of different mice. (DA, Xai, mx518, etc)

However the problem is it feels really heavy to me. (97g without the cord)
So im thinking about replacing it for a mouse with less weight....

I've looked at a couple of mice and the FK looks good so far, as it only weighs 85g. What somewhat worries me is switching to a neutral shape after using a mouse designed for right handed players...

Any ideas/suggestions?

OK guys... can you help me out? I have a G400 and a WMO... so far the WMO feels worse to me than the G400 - its DPI is only 400 and even with sensitivity cranked up to 2.5x the normal (10, default is 4) I have problems with undershooting my target... e.g with LG/MG the crosshair often stops just before the target whereas with the G400 everything feels spot on with 800 DPI and default sensitivity.

So what is your verdict G400 vs WMO? Both good mice... but which is better?

Captain Juan Cole strikes again (12 comments)
Posted by ScarletJohansonsFather @ 06:17 CDT, 14 May 2013 - iMsg
So talking about immigration, AGAINNNNN..... bhahaha.
The guys do not understand why I do not want to let 100 Muslim kiddos play in my front yard. Maybe because through other things they will start one day fighting each other while breaking my things in the process and maybe because each part will call for reinforcements and generally I do not want to share my yard with them amyway?

So, here's the point on the matter with his so-called scientific approach on the matter of anti-Muslim Racism in the Netherlands, with which occasion I plead my case on immigration that someone around here talked about:

http://www.juancole.com/2013/05/sanctificatio...theim.html

Let’s just try to think about things without using numbers chronological dates and other pseudo-scientific arguments for a moment, because all it takes in this case is not history lessons but reason. Shall we?
So why would a certain ethnicity immigrate in another country in high numbers? There are two problems here: one is the demographics which if let by it can really overthrow the nation and second it is that because these immigrants all around the world they tend to unite and so they form communities, which are bound very tight by their ethnic and religious connections in a much more strong connection than the nation they put their foot in, because that nation do not feel the urge to unite their people because it is quite evident that there is no urge or danger of disband of their rules and their identity -well at least this is what they think, mostly at the beginning. This is why the immigrants have relative economical success and not because they would be natural or educational wise “superior” -after all, they are not people of great capacity and iron will, but people who did NOT SUCCEED at home. And Europe is in no way comparable to the American model regarding the immigration problem because the US was created by immigrants -and this is maybe the cause why the US became the economical and political superpower that it is today, by those many many different ethnic and religious bounds of various people -not different enough to start civil wars very often, and not united enough as a whole to not make the difference between their groups. This is why Hitler was able to make Germany the superpower that the country was in the beginning of the XX century, not by terror but because whatever his delusions point is that he was able to unite the nation.
If I’d ever decide to move in another country forced by the poor conditions in my country I’d isolate myself if not of all people then most certain I’d isolate myself of my compatriots who’s fault would be for me who left my country behind, and I’d feel ashamed anyway to form packs groups tribes call it however you want inside a foreign country, not ashamed like being driven by feelings of inferiority but by morale matters. But maybe this is just me not having the attitude of a loser.

Idea is not to post the usual long fragmovies or full matches, but instead those single play videos that appear on your youtube subscriptions and favorites, or that are gaming and quake related.

I'm clueless when it comes to any sort of mice modification / opening them up, can't find any videos for the Kana so thought i'd ask here...

I spilled beer over my Kana, fortunately Mouse1/2 is working perfectly still, but the scroll click is stuck and doesn't do anything, mouse 4 is working but noisy and slightly sticky...

How easy / difficult will it be to clean the mouse to get it as it was? How hard is disassembling and reassembling the Kana? Any videos or forum threads that could assist?

Trying to decide whether or not just to buy a new one and save the fucking around.

Here are the FACEIT Daily Cups for 6 to 9 May. All the cups will kick off at 13:30 CDT, with check-ins opening at 12:30 CDT, except for the CA cups, which will start one hour earlier, 12:30 CDT (check-in opens at 11:30 CDT).

Monday will feature the Level 4 and Level 8 duel cups, while on Wednesday the other two levels, 6 and 10, will be able to face each other off.

This week we will be featuring two Team Deathmatch cups instead of CA. On Tuesday the TDM 2v2 Cup will take place, while on Thursday teams of four can get their fix. This does not mean we will stop hosting CA cups, but we will be alternating every week between TDM and CA.

You can create a team in the right top corner (2/4 - depending which cup - players per team max.). If you are already in a team, you will have to quit it. Be sure all players check-in.


Don't forget you can play on the FACEIT QL Ladder every evening from 11:00 CDT till 17:00 CDT!

hi! First of all i dont speak english, so is very bad, hope you can understend me.

So: i used wolfcam since 1 year, i never have any problem (i alwals used linux: debin squeeze till now). but the last week i install debian 7 (64 bits), and a have the problem you can see in the attachment image.
I alwals used the commands r_ext_multitexture and r_enablePostProcess in "1" (the default value) but now i need to turn it to 0 because the r_ext_multitexture affects the general brightness...Other thing: if i have r_ext_multitextura "0" and r_enablePostProcess in "1", the program close...
The command r_ignorehwgamma dont make any differences

I think that i need to install some libraries or something like that...
hope some one can help me!

Enhanced Motion Detection (55 comments)
Posted by kaira @ 01:58 CDT, 13 May 2013 - iMsg
This might concern some of you.

http://www.rochester.edu/news/show.php?id=6332

A hightened sensitivity for motion and other sensual stimuli is linked to difficulties facing social interactions. They call it Autism, but after reading this you maybe get a better idea what this "disorder" is about. One has to filter much much more, this takes calculating time in the brain and diminishes the possibility to react appropriately (or what others would perceive as "appropriate").

Have something at hand for argument. Don't let it be called "disorder", after all, the normal are only a species of the abnormal. They have to deal with it.

Looking for Quake 2: Zaero mod DEMO (9 comments)
Posted by sP1Sp0pD @ 22:36 CDT, 12 May 2013 - iMsg
Zaero is unofficial mission pack, developed by Team Evolve and published by Macmillan Software, which was released in 1998. Original web page is gone, but it was mirrored here: http://www.quakewiki.net/archives/teamevolve/products/

I'm looking for their 44 meg demo (zaerodemo.zip), since the link [fileplanet] is dead now. Ironically enough, full version floats on the net here and there, but I cannot find zaerodemo.zip any more. Exact file size is 45156957 bytes.

Anyone got that and can upload it somewhere? Thanks!

Wheel Mouse Optical 1.1a - Sorely missed (3 comments)
Posted by cacodemon @ 15:19 CDT, 12 May 2013 - iMsg
As everyone knows... this mouse which formerly retailed at £7 has been taken off the market... but why? To be replaced by the miserable excuse for a mouse known as the Basic Optical Mouse v2.0... which although has 800 DPI has extremely poor cursor precision, less then half the malfunction speed and much worse build quality and ergonomics.

So how can Microsoft take a step backwards like this? It just seems like there is no logic... to manufacture a mouse that is massively inferior in every aspect to its predecessor.

I don't think there is a single mouse at the moment that has the WMO shape, that tracks as well... Abyssus has jitter and ripple and compared to the WMO the tracking is shit.

Such a shame... bring back the WMO! 7 years ago you saw like tonnes of WMOs restocked every single day... I regret not buying 50 of them.

Do you pull a lever to rescue 5 people on a runaway trolley, yet in doing so, you will take the life of an innocent bystander?

I'm writing my thesis on moral decision making. Basically, I want to investigate if exposure to certain types of media content can shape certain (cognitive) aspects of decision making, especially when it comes to moral dilemmas.

I was hoping that some of you would have 5-10 minutes spare to participate in my experiment, which involves judgement on dilemmas like the one above.

Recruiting active members for a QL TDM clan

Clan Phenomenon (Phn) - a very old school clan from Latvia.

We don't have enough active members, hence the recruitment. We are mid-to-high skilled individually, but not as a team. For example, I'm rating 23 @ tdmpickup. So looking for players of a similar skill.

Must be active to play at least a few days in a week, usually in the evenings.

To apply contact me by adding as friend in QL (crims), or in skype (crims-).

steelseries kana, similar sensor (25 comments)
Posted by boule3d @ 13:20 CDT, 11 May 2013 - iMsg
hello,

im playing shootmania and i like so much the kana sensor.

the fact is for mini jump, you have to double click verry fast on the jump button, wich i cannot do with the kana.

i actually tried the roccat kova + (wich doesnt give me the same feeling), i tried the kinzu v2 but i cannot do the jump neither.

thats why i would like to know if there is a mouse with similar sensor???

is there any way to change the kana sensor to another mouse ??? or even to change the switch?? (any review??)

anyone tried the roccat lua mouse???

thanks for reading!

Accuracy is proportional to skill? (67 comments)
Posted by cacodemon @ 16:35 CDT, 10 May 2013 - iMsg
OK so I am a medium skilled Quake Live player (I play at tier 4 in FFA, have 20% overall accuracy, 30% mg, 25% lg, 40% rail, 35% rockets) so just your average tier 4... not good but not bad either. I probably win 1/8 of my FFA games... I am a fairly new Quake Live player having only played a month... my only prior experience to playing shooters was Quake III Arena which I only occasionally played online and mostly against Nightmare bots.

If anything I can say fairly certainly in my experience is that accuracy is such an important factor that say a player X has really good map knowledge, only 25% overall accuracy uses different weapons was pitted against player Y who JUST uses machine gun and has 50% accuracy - I think there is almost no doubt that the MGer with good aim will ALMOST ALWAYS win against the player with half the accuracy despite the fact his overall gameplay is better (knows where powerups are, moves better etc...).

In most of the games, with some exceptions, the player at the top of the scoreboard is the one who was the most accurate that game... of course you could say that anyone can achieve a high accuracy by being patient and taking time to aim... but lets face it... most players as soon as they see an opponent they SPAM non stop until the target is dead, moved away or he himself has died.

So that brings me to the conclusion that Quake Live is a game about 'all aim, no brain' and I really like this game... it is addictive its fun and I can play it all day and I really enjoy it. But in my view this game is really lacking a lot of strategy... which of course is less prominent in FPS titles... but nevertheless I am sure most of you people are inclined to agree that if your accuracy % is above the average (in my view 20-25% accuracy is the average accuracy level in Quake Live) your win rate will be fairly good and can expect to dominate most FFA games... for e.g I remember the last game I played on the Longest Yard... I was like 3rd place, my acc was 27% but the guy on top who was literally dominating everyone and achieving a very high frag count per minute had something like 50% and his most used weapon was the machine gun so obviously a fairly skilled player and far above the average for that server.

However, this is something I enjoy about Quake Live... I almost always know why I lost and it can really be broken down, in a nutshell, to a few things:

1) I didn't spam enough shots in a short enough time.

2) My accuracy % is not high enough.

3) I kept switching targets too often.


1 and 2 are THE most important and avoiding the bad habit of 3 also helps. But my point still stands, that you don't need to get anything other than MG ammo if your accuracy is good enough.

C'mon if I was playing against even a semi decent player with this handicap: he can only use MG and I had EVERY weapon ALREADY at disposal I would probably lose every single time.

Btw... the machine gun is a GREAT weapon... its better than any non-hitscan other than the rocket launcher and if your MG is good trust me (I have seen it) you can really own people so hard.

Idea of a game?...dream on pal (7 comments)
Posted by slidrugtanne @ 14:42 CDT, 10 May 2013 - iMsg
Hi all!

To have an idea of a brand new game that you think if it would be created should be a great success, isn´t easy, I can tell you that.

This idea is a result of many impressions fused into one thought, and I can´t let it go. There is one problem though, I have no idea how to make it come true. I´ve contacted Machinegames och Dice. And to contact game developers is like spend the time looking at the wall being older...
I had an answer from Machinegames and the answer was short and to what I believe a very honest one as well. "Get some talent pals and create it by your self"

I guess that´s how it works in this business, and I believe its all about money. Why should they listening to a guy "outside" their own community and take all the credits and.....not all of course but some of their, money, I would probably think the same...

Then the other crazy thought came up in my "so called brain", why not? But how? ...is it even possible? I mean...how are they doing it, Battlefield, Crysis, COD? If you look at the credits of these games, its a very BIG industry, and my thought of this game would require at least this size of crew as well I can tell you that.

So maybe I should get therapy to get rid of this crazy huge thougt...;)

Maybe I´ll tell you my idea to this community some day, maybe not, maybe it will become just a dream, maybe it will be released some day who knows...I spoiled my self to Dice and told them my story, I know, I f*cked up and send them my story....but not the punchline ;)

Thanx for your time for reading this

"Dream on"....I know I will

Alternatives to QuakeLive. (72 comments)
Posted by GreenMeanie @ 14:08 CDT, 10 May 2013 - iMsg
Viable Alternatives to QuakeLive.

Contenders
Wait for Reborn
Warsow
Xonotic
Quake2world
OpenArena + Aftershoock
Ultrono Arena
Cube 2
ES-Core

Current Quake
Quake World Installer
Quake 2 Installer
Quake 3 Installer

Preferably
Open Source
- Gratis (Anyone can play)
- Make the game more user friendly
- Make the game easier to pick up
- No subscription fee
- Don't have to wait on developers to add features
- Can gear the game more towards "E-Sports"

Possible Solution
Warsow without Walljump/Dash.
I know Walljump/Dash is a key feature of Warsow but if you remove it, you basically have Quake.
- It ticks all the boxes that I listed above.
- GTV
- Graphics are perfect.
-> Clean and simple, perfect for playing + watching.

Cooller ELO drop (69 comments)
Posted by jetro @ 11:48 CDT, 10 May 2013 - iMsg
Seems like Russia Cooller has been doing something which causes him to lose a lot of games vs much lesser players lately. He went from 2220 to 1858 in a matter of hours, surely another record for our beloved Quake powner.

Just have a look at his qlranks acc: http://www.qlranks.com/duel/player/cooller

Any wild theories on this?

- Playing with 1 hand tied to his back?
- Grandma Singov trying to brush up on her QL skills?
- Deliberate ELO drop in order to mess up ELO of some of the other top players during upcoming cups?

Hey guys, the paint on my imo 1.1se is really starting to show its wears & tear. The paint on the sides and mouse 1 & 2 are completely faded due to frequent use and I have already replaced the sensors with a regular 1.1. Anyone have one that is in new/good condition and willing to let it go? I have a MX300 that's had little use and a brand new MX500 NIB that I'm willing to trade for it. I have no problem paying for it either. Let me know if you're interested.

Some of the other players are also playing QL at the moment, such as cha0ticz I believe, however, it is nowhere near the competitive scene and as such a comeback could be in order. If Makaveli has made a comeback to the competitive scene and I missed it then he should be removed though :)

Best CPM player in the US a few years ago, he played in the CXG and did really good (he had to play cooller in the WB finals but the even was shut down iirc) then disappeared a few years later and his family came here searching for help.

Lost to cooller in the WB Semi final 2-1 (Won pro-q3dm6 if I recall correctly). Cooller then beat ZeRo4 in the WB Final 2-1 but the event was shut-down before the LB final between ZeRo4 and elp could be played (I think).

I think he was at QLAN2 as well.

the event was shut-down before the LB final between ZeRo4 and elp could be played (I think).
They started playing T4 and when the score was 8-8 between them as network died for good. The organizers didn't care anymore at that point but the players wanted to proceed, regardless of the cash (which was never payed out in the end). So they connected Zero4s computer directly to elpajuo, however, the organizers then proceeded to shut down all power as well, so there wasn't much for them to do.

Hence all three, cooller, z4 and elpajuo are considered tied as #1 for that event.

That's not how I remember it, I'm quite sure they all considered themselves as tied #1 and decided to split all money and hardware.

Why would z4 be ahead of elpajuo when they only played one map which ended 8-8?

The final was to be between cooller and the winner of z4/elp (which was never finished). So how was z4 ranked ahead of elp? Regardless, you are mistaken, the official (and inofficial) results were as follows:

Duel Results:
1 - tied. Anton 'cooller' Singov (Moscow, Russia)
1 - tied. Alejandro 've-elpajuo' Gonzales (Venezuela)
1 - tied. John 'ZeRo4' Hill (San Diego, California)
4. Sean 'Daler' Price (Austin, Texas)
5 - tied. Paul 'czm' Nelson (Massachussetts)
5 - tied. Jared 'cha0tics' Cugno (Boston, Massachussets)
<< Comment #34 @ 06:25 CDT, 23 October 2009 >>
By Imminent_Team iNkind  - Reply to #33
Because z4 was in the winner bracket final and elp was in the semi.

I recall them agreeing to share the money (whether it got paid or not) split 1. qlr 2. z4 3. elp.

But anyway, it doesn't really matter and there's next to no accurate coverage of cXg anywhere and the ESR search function is beyond hopeless.

Whenever I watched him move around, especially on DM6, he would do some things that seemed completely crazy or doomed to failure. They always seemed to pay off, though.

One time he did the standard bridge to rail and it seemed obvious he was going to miss. He managed to air-control himself over farther than seemed possible like it was nothing. Also he would regularly dive down onto players where it would seem they would shaft him to death before he hit ground but it never seemed to cause him any trouble.

I voted for PELE cus I remember watching his old demos and being in awe about his interesting style. Most people probably don't remember him. He played a lot like unkind, just years before unkind was in the scene. Really smart and killer rox.

I don't think there is enough $ out there to motivate most of these people back. When you get older and have more responsibilities, it is impossible to put in the time required to be a top tier quake player. You have to choose to either dedicate your time to a game that nobody follows or do something real with your life.

I would not call a year or two of inactivity, retirement. Even if it is technically retirement, as long as we've seen them not too much time ago, it's not enough to call it in a joy, the great return of the dark knight.
To be more specific, my daughter went down from our bed in the morning, and in the evening she was climbing it again, fully enthusiastic, I would not call what she was doing today, a truly retirement.

now that's odd. i suggest to watch some of the old demos which clearly show that sl1nger was one of (if not THE) the key players in unmatched's (or SK's) success. i always felt that neok was the "weakest" individual player in that team. all in all those guys were awesome together and seeing them again would be a pleasure. especially from a german perspective since we pretty much only have k1llsen nowadays.

I don't really use that account (that was my 1st and only game) as I like to play in peace/quiet and have a good time. That's what happens when you get old... you like quiet, haha! Especially sometimes when I come home in the evening after a few drinks...

I could always play Counter-strike when I had some liquor, but quake, oh boy... all over the place with some alcohol, haha.

I need to get rid of this monitor though... 25 ms response time and only 72 Hz LCD.... hehe -- I don't know how much it is gimping me, but from what I've been told, it is pretty bad.

I am trying to get Unholy, immortal, and some of my other friends to start playing again though.

Because they have been playing the same players and shithouse maps since the creation of the universe. However, I'll agree qw has superior fundamental gameplay and the top players would probably never switch to anything else.

I would go as far as saying that players like dag aren't as talented as some of the top players in QL.

When QW was the game, when it had players like DOOMer, Sniket, oKKun, Lakerman, Kane and so on, dag played at that time as well (I don't know if reppie or def played at that time but if they did they were so poor they weren't even known in the slightest then). However, dag, or dagurra as he was known as then, didn't stand a chance against those players, he was even at a lower level of play than me.

When all good players leave from a dead community, some lesser player is bound to take the #1 spot.

That goes for most of those current QW "stars", such as pietro, locktar, riker, xalibur, mrlane and so on. I do not even think they would disagree with me.

Dude, less talented? QW requires a different skillset altogether. Different strats, movement, weapons, it's hard to compare, even. Also, how can you know if the current "stars" of QW wouldn't catch up to the old masters even, if they did stay in the game?

I'd say, if they'd put in time and effort, some of them could become top contenders in QL.

I'm sorry, but that just doesn't make any sense. As much as I respect the oldschool players (They were the top when I started playing), they simply didn't play the same game as the game thats played today. Saying that Dag wasn't as good, because he peaked at a later stage in the games history - Is like saying that LakermaN was only good, because Thresh wasn't around anymore. But even back then the game had changed alot, from when Thresh was king to when LakermaN won TGI. LakermaN was part of the era where aim, speed, and the ability to do tricks became a major factor in the game, whereas the players from the previous era had relied much more on just tactics.

QuakeWorld have had numerous eras, and different kings for each era. Some have stayed on top throughout most of the game's lifespan, players like ParadokS, reppie, dag and griffin. And I'm sure players like that have/had the talent to be good in any game. Just like LakermaN showed, some people can just pick up a game and instantly be good.

Regarding the players you list as current "stars", only LocKtar and riker is around.

But I would agree, that most top qw players probably wouldn't do as good in QL, but thats more of an age/lack of time thing than it is talent. Also they would be lightyears behind the Quake3 players. If Nabbe had not been moved from the "Participating players" to the "Pending Players" list, for the QL tourney at DreamHack winter, we could have seen what a top qw player could do in QL - with limited practice.

There is nothing suggesting that Thresh was better than Lakerman, DOOMer or Sniket.

Did you watch 9 vs DR? I was there and watched it live and talked to the players. The first time EU and NA actually faced each other in QW/RQ, DR didn't do too well there (they even lost in their games vs IoP, another much less known medium-skilled Swedish team). Of course, while they were here Thresh also played 1v1s, losing games vs Xenon, DOOMer etc.

It's not like these current QW stars werent active at that point. Riker, mrlame, dagurra and so on played quite a bit yet wasn't even considered mediocre players in comparison to the likes of DOOMer or Lakerman.

I even played in the same team as Riker and mrlame, so I do know them as players more than most yet my opinion still holds true, they, just like me, werent as talented as players like Lakerman. It's simply easier to be amongst the best when the community size is 100 compared to 1 000 000, especially if you have a 10 year game advantage on all the new players.

You are ignoring the fact that most of the early star players in Quake were established Doom players. Doomer, Ettu, Lakerman, Thresh etc all played Doom multiplayer and came into Quake already holding a lot of FPS experience. It was no surprise they dominated early on. Just like in Q3 where all the early tournaments were won by veteran Q1 and Q2 players.

No offence dude, but you have no idea what you are talking about. Dag not being top notch when laker was playing doesn't prove anything. Different players have different motivations at different times. Pietro has been out of the scene for a looooong time. The players who have been at the top of the qw scene in recent years are very very skilled and would destroy laker at his previous form. There is no need to make comments when you clearly don't know anything about the subject.

I disagree.

I think if fatal1ty does decide to come back officially he will make sure that he can hold his own among the top players in practice games before doing it.
And I think we can all agree that he is not the type of players who is worse in tournaments than in his practise games.

Duel wise I don't think he has placed top3 in any tournament.

Though there are lots of players that you could argue would have a place in such a poll, Kane is the one that comes closest to mine. However, no matter where you draw the line, the will be cases close to the line that can be argued.

You can also vote on the "Someone else" option for such players though.

Lets see, you claim half of the players didn't place top3 in a duel tournament. I'll just mention one tournament for those I remember. To be fair, I'll only mention lan tournaments.

czm: 24% (79)
#1 QIL4

Fatal1ty: 18% (60)
#1 XSReality Invitational

toxjq: 17% (56)
#1 Dreamhack winter 2005

uNkind: 12% (41)
#1 WCG 2002

LeXeR: 4.8% (16)
#1 QuakeCon 2002

Thresh: 3.6% (12)
#1 Red Annihilation

LakermaN: 3.3% (11)
#1 Lan Arena 4

Stelam: 3.3% (11)
#1 Lan Arena 5

ZeRo4: 1.8% (6)
#1 QuakeCon 2001

Polosatiy: 1.8% (6)
#1 AMD PG Challenge 2003

PELE: 1.8% (6)
#1 RazerCPL Qualifier

Blue: 1.5% (5)
#1 CPL Asia

socrates: 1.5% (5)
#1 WCG USA 2002

DOOMer: 1.5% (5)
#1 Swedish Quake Championships

elpajuo: 1.2% (4)
#1 Cyber X-Games

Makaveli: 0.9% (3)
#2 XSReality Invitational

Sujoy: 0.9% (3)
#3 Ground Zero

cha0ticz: 0.6% (2)
Can't remember any

Blokey: 0.3% (1)
#1 XSReality AMD Cup (this was a duel tournament but not alone though).

Daler: 0.3% (1)
#1 ION Games
As you can see, your claim that "half those players never placed top3 in a duel tournament", was entirely inaccurate. Almost all of them have won at least one LAN tournament.

And so on, i would like to see all those players come back for some great TDM with a lot of teams fighting to be n°1.

Fatal1ty ofc.

But I highly doubt that he would perform a comeback in a broken game and a watered down version of one of his favourite games, which lacks the ability to spawn LAN servers. By now he already must have realised that there's no future for a game as incomplete and undeveloped like QL.

And what else is there for people wanting fast gameplay and compete in 1on1 tourneys? Right, nothink!
