strenx? :)

When i watch zotacs, streams , vods and frag videos of QL and play quake, i always think, WTF QL was kicked for from IEM? Why they couldnt leave QL, but make the prize pool a bit smaller, so that stupid LoL would have been added.

World is unfair motherfucker

people outside of the fast fps community hardly know about QL, theres still people wandering around in youtube asking if its Q3 or what and the game being out since 2009 ffs! no wonder...

*2008

tier slumers so new players quit game. QL was popular a lot more when there wasn't pro/premium subscription. Still remeber when there was random ca public a lot players where in spectators. Not anti cheat which is fucked. But QL atleast brought some new players to community. And yeah community seperated when QL came out and when pro/prem subscription came out. The game isn't so popular as LoL which isn't so hard to learn not like quake, but its about player base, its all about money and sponsorship. id software should pay more attention to community. If fifa had more players in zotac than QL it's fucked. Game isnt popular. But like cs it has a lot sponsors and tournaments and a lot new teams coming and play not like every dh cypher in finals all time or rapha its just same and same. When i watched last DH on twitch tw chat a lot viewers said wow nice cool whats this game that just show that no one is publishing game.

CS analogy is actually bullshit. Yes, there are shitloads of teams, the game is popular, etc. but still you could count winning teams on one hand - SK, ESC, fnatic, NAVI, sometimes mouz. Last year only three teams were winning everything - ESC, SK and NAVI - just like rapha and cypher. Although they have a greater player base, they face the same kind of problem - same teams winning everything all the time.

same teams winning every single time is not a problem - its reality...


in 10 yo game its hard to catch up with ppl who are praccing 3-4 days a week for few hours... especially in team based game...

on the other hand i dont see why it bothers you at all

Doesn't bother me at all, just pointing out that CS analogy is wrong.

And u answered your question in your topic "WTF QL was kicked for from IEM? " when u watch frag movies u can see how many views does it have hmm not so much only cooller's frag movie has +100k views. Quake isn't popular as we all want to. And its sad that players who making frag movies making half year or more and they only get few thousand of viewers.

Part of the problem is the style of the tournaments which deter regular players to participate. The most played maps are ztn and campgrounds with dm13 and t7 as distant third and fourth ( my perception at least) but participants cant be sure what maps they are about to play if they sign up.

Tournaments like zotac should have fixed maps each round until top 8 where the pick system is more appropriate. This way new players know what to expect each round and can plan accordingly. This style is used in some other games successfully and I cant see any good reason not to use it in quake.

russian stream please?

All streams are there: http://liveql.com/

Cup hasn't started yet.

any comments kkk about your latest ban?

Casting Zotac now

you gonna steal all my pluses again?

nevahh :)

That's actually quality trolling by kkk :D
Seriously though next zotac please put a min games played restriction of 200 or so.

it wasnt me, but if it was, u didnt mention cypher+strenx(on hub) pwnd:D

Ah that explains. He looked way more skilled than you, decent movement and rather articulate. Also he didn't have your shitty shaking lg hack that you can recognize from 10seconds of watching. So that's yuka having some fun again I guess?

quality trollin' eh? :DDDDDDDDDDD

I love kkk's plasma and rocket.True skill. Not to mention is amazing movement. Prodigy!

Why would you cheat while everyone is watching?

Why cheat period, but that was ridiculous!

because with his last 100 accounts he's never been hiding it?
just shut up

omg they banned Secretariat! D:

YOU BASTARDS!

after he beat strenx on hub:) (tbh, secretariat sucked, I could have done better. best horse tho!)

its funny that the guy isnt even banned here "because its not a quake site" rofl

Do they remove freedom of speech to convicts in Finland ? :D

being able to post here has nothing to do with freedom of speech tho

just tuned in. why is it always the english stream that's totally shit?

"I don't know who I play in semis" (c) strenx

So after winning 45 Zotacs, he's still not able to look at the brackets and play his matches in time? :D

must watch dm13 between cypher & p0ni

agree with both meanings: a required, "must-watch" dm13 match and you must watch that dm13 match!

gggggggggggggg

gratz to p0ni again

VOD

strenx: "I don't get p0ni" Yea, he confuses me too. Kind of like a heartbreak player. He does so many things well, and right when he's stringing together the right combination of shots&strat, the last one falls short. :/

strenx losing and whining about cypher using timenudge... hahhahahah you cant get more pathetic

wp Cypher, i just love how you make frags out of nothing :-)

ggs

strenx clearly doesnt understand how timenudge works, makes his ego-whine more hilarious

;-)

damn, missed it
any chance for vods?

highly likely

http://www.twitch.tv/dubcat_ql/videos

I plussed you, i watched the vod now pls upload damn demos. Demos section is screaming EMPTY and i wonder why noone wont upload any. Tired of that shit. Cant understand why it is needed to mention in the first place.
Or next tournament admin should kick one caster so i can collect demos for all of us cause 4-5 casters cant be arsed to upload them.=!==?!?!?

I just kinda assumed no one would care for demos with followkiller? I could pack all the zotac demos and upload them no problem. actually didn't think this was a big deal.

People will still watch your vods even if you upload demos. Dont be like ACTA !

True, most of the people watch the vods.

uhm, I won strenx, after I won cypher in 3rd round. so gimme my 100 euro

how did u won ?

?

It was funny when that hacker used the cooller smiley and pressed his use item bind loads lol ,trying to frame cooller ? or... LOL

3:0 against strenx nice. strenx plays a lot worse then he is loosing. he doens't lose often, so it's hard to do that for him :DDD
