if tourneys won are the criteria, he fails. if being better than old champion is the criteria, he fails again, cause newer champions are better than him.

Z4 has won the most big Quake 3 tournaments, but many of them were bo1(early Quakecons) or with a less competitive field. I'm not saying he's not one of the greatest players ever -- indeed, he comes in second -- but number one spot has to go to Cooller. A few more reasons:

1. He has the second-highest number of major tournament wins, one fewer than z4.

2. He won ESWC 2003, which was the highest level tournament in Quake history with the fairest tournament system, beating z4 in the final.

3. He won all his games at ESWC 2004, but was denied the overall victory due to weaker teammates. This would've brought him equal with z4 in number of major wins.

4. His period of dominance was the longest in real time.

5. Your lg is nothink on the lan.

If you dont count the "shitty" games (cod, pk, avp, doom, fear, etc) then dkt has probably won more than fat. But if you do count those games, then wombat has probably more titles than fat. Its a pretty close call, and fat might even be the best, by I wouldnt say its "not even close".

I count 37 1v1 titles and 11 team game titles.

Compared to wombats 19 titles 1v1 and team based and dkt's 9, I would still claim it to be not even close.

except you fail to realize that fat is the type of person who lists every 4 people LAN in a village in Montana as a title, and wombat and dkt aren't. (e.g. University of Texas (Unreal Tournament 2003) \o/)

You are also not counting wombat's achievement post 2006.

Fat is better in duel than wombat, but wombat is better in team games.

cooller didnt do shit since 2k5, wake up. he had a comeback in 2008 and failed at every single group stage. that's "group stage". and pls spare me the "he didn't care" crap. we've seen his reaction to cypher's telefrag, he cared, a lot. gamegune = fail. eswc masters = fail. eswc finals = fail. spartie slapped him without problems, while cypher dominated. afterwards rapha won everything. cooller won 2 eswc's, with 2 bo3 losses at each of them. that's hardly domination. he attended wcg, failed. he attended cpl, didn't make it to the finals.

and in the end, 2 majors are just 2 majors.

compare it to the list of zero4, out of which every single tournament is international tournament, except qcon2000, which was held probably before euros became good. don't think polosatiy was that much better at the time than z4's rivals there. everything was bo1 DE for years and years, and its just...well...retarded to call those easy tournaments. check out the names first. especially @ cpl babbages.

and z4 didn't make an attempt at a comeback in 2008? what happened to him then? that's right, this. :)

it all started here and cooller's been better than him ever since. "cooller zero4" gives me about 6 matches on this site out of which zero4 has won... none. (there's a PT4 demo from CXG that z4 wins but cooller still took the other 2 maps)

wow, is that a link to the match where zero4 needed one map to kick cooller out of the tournament, and this being the third and irrelevant map?

you're clearly missing the point of taking "vs" for best ever question.

cypher also has 2 eswc (and both were stacked more than eswc 2k5), and was beating cooller on daily basis since 2k7, so therefore cypher is the best?

sorry.

also, zero4 in 2k8 > quakecon final, irrelevant quakecon ctf title, *2nd* group stage on both masters and san jose.

unlike a certain fascinating individual.

yeah zero4 clearly lost ztn only because it was irrelevant :/ what about all the other times when the games did matter?

nothing wrong in bringing "vs" into the picture when we're comparing cooller and zero4 as they are the only real contenders for the title of best of all time. the facts show us that after cooller burst onto the scene, zero4 couldn't beat him (with the exception of qcon 04 where it was hub only). he was definitely close behind but cooller managed to come out on top.

cypher's not even in the picture. he had one good year. both cooller and z4 had dominated Q3 for much longer than he did.

qcon 08 finals was at a time when many players including cooller weren't even playing Quake Live. that's like bringing up cooller's 3rd place at Dreamhack after z4 stopped playing. the rest of 2k8 was the only year z4 consistently outperformed cooller when it came to tournament placing but even then, he lost to him the one time they played each other. it wasn't exactly a stellar year for either of the two players. both of them have played much better in the past.

its like this.

first, you compare the list which i posted up on one side with coollers 2 majors + qlan (that featured euros only) on the other.

then, you'll notice that they played each other in a FINAL only once, and one frag prevailed.

even last eswc match ended with a 1 frag game on ztn.

fact is, every single matchup they had could have been over after 2 games with a 2:0 score in favour of each player.

then you go back to the notable achievements list.

and if you want to use "vs" to prove something, why couldn't i? the tournaments cypher won were as strong as eswc2k3, and stronger in comparison to 2k5, by far, while cypher seemed much more dominating in his eswc wins than cooller did in his eswc wins. cooller lost twice on each. to that, when he brought his game to the top, he proved to be better than cooller in q3a, every time.

on the other hand, if you don't wanna use "vs", you're left with the mentioned list.

I think the biggest reason cooller didn't beat z4 earlier is the age.

The comparison with cypher is something different and hasn't got anything to do with z4.

Both you are also not considering the different playerstyles. Some players play better against some styles, than against others. For example cooller, being the most internationally successful Russian for some time, but still sometimes having a hard time at home against Russians, who in turn couldn't do much on an international level.

Just the the same when Cypher seems to have tried the same thing at the IEM when he "lost" to qrebo (no offense), so z4muz got 3rd. And now z4muz gets invited anyway and qrebo got the Euros for winning that game :D

i don't really think cypher lost that one on purpose though, xrebzy played really well, it was overtime if i recall correctly. and he owned z4muz in vs 2:0 easily, on the other hand cooller dropped cause he was afraid. and most of the wcg2k2 was t4+ztn afterwards...

qrebo lost his iem match versus z4muz, or are you talking about another match?
He did win one map though, which is way cypher had the opportunity to throw z4muz out.
I don't think I saw the match between qrebo and cypher, but I do believe cypher is the person who would consider doing this. But yeah, it isn't certain, which is why I wrote "seems" in my first statement.

ah ok.

pretty sure I did see the z4muz and cypher game and that it wasn't so easy (6-4 om dm13). Plus it happened not that long ago after z4muz really came back, so there was room for improvement.

I don't know, I just don't really believe that it was a coincidence that cypher lost to a much weaker opponent exactly in such a way that it would�result in the elimination of a good opponeent.

that's a fair statement. still he had like 7/10 spawnkills on that t2 vs z4 so the luck part compensated the lack of experience.

why exactly is Cypher a cunt? seems like a nice guy to me, he's still a kid though, so cut him some slack :)

He probably is a nice guy until he gets owned. Must be tough for him to deal with the fact, that he's not godlike anymore, like he was in early 2008. And it results in incidents like the rage vs spartie in Athens (he said "proud?" and ragequitted) or vs jibo on asus online ( http://www.esreality.com/index.php?a=post&...pid1695427).

I understand that, however, I don't think anyone is immune to rage when they can't perform as they usually do :) I just ignore that.. If someone gets a bit nervous due to circumstances, it doesn't mean he's a cunt :)

yup, cooller wasn't even on the scene when z4 won qcon 2k and 2k1.

so what if it was only one final? they played each other many other times and all of those games were important enough too.

every single match could have been over 2:0 but the fact is that it didn't happen. cooller won most of the times they played each other. "could have" is pointless really. i'd say cooller could have easily won Qcon 04 if it wasn't bo1 and hub. even at CXG, he looked to be the guy on top... beating zero4 (and elpa iirc). too bad they didn't finish the tournament.

as for cypher in 2k8, everyone thought he had the potential to become the best player of all time. too bad he couldn't go on for much longer. it's much harder to maintain top form over many years and that's why i included only cooller and zero4 in contention. imo, cooller and z4 are at the top with czm and cypher just behind them (i'd include rapha but he's won most of his stuff in QL not Q3).

if it wasn't? lol. it was, and it was 50 frag difference.

even at CXG, he looked to be the guy on top... beating zero4

t4 1 frag, ztn 1 frag. and seriously, cxg never finished. if winning wb final means winning the tournament, then zero4 won quakecon 2k4 too.

fact is, new champion is always better than the one before. simple as that, thats why vs is irrelevant to me.

i know it was. i never said z4's win vs cooller at qcon wasn't a legit win. i brought it up because you brought up "could haves".

cooller has still beaten him more times when both of them were playing at their best..

judging by that, luckily for z4, they didn't finish CXG.

cxg had 50-50 chances, just like eswc 2003.

and 2003 wasn't the best from zero4, he didn't do anything in 2002. his best was 2001.

50/50 when he had to win 2 bo3s in a row against someone he's never won a bo3 against? i think not.

also he was playing just as good as 2001 at eswc 2k3.

lets see.

cxg>
1st map: zero4 wins t4 by one frag, could have gone either way.
2nd map: cooller wins ztn by one frag, could have gone either way.

that's not 50-50?

eswc>
1st map: zero4 wins t4 by one frag, wasn't that close though.
2nd map: cooller wins ztn by one frag, was anyone's game.

that's not 50-50?

he went through 2001 undefeated, that's when he was at his best. cpl, wcg, quakecon. that's domination, not these 2 losses per tourney thingies.

lol z4 had to win 4 maps totally to win CXG. wait, make that 6 because he had to get through elpajuo in the LB final first. cooller needed 2 in any 1 set. you're also forgetting the decider maps in both games where cooller won rather comfortably. that's not 50/50!

bo1s with most of the player base far behind his level. not top3, top 8. also less number of maps to win to claim the title. the skill gaps became much smaller in the later years... not to mention the overall skill level of players went way up. rapha lost plenty of games in 2009, even a tournament although it was very very close. nobody denies that he dominated 2009. the same with cypher in 2008.

there's my post somewhere up there which says that every matchup could have been over after 2 maps. decider is irrelevant, if the match is over with 2:0 clean result.

bo1s with most of the player base far behind his level. not top3, top 8. also less number of maps to win to claim the title.

those players who are far behind his level are lakerman, fatal1ty, and alike. players who were on the same level as lets say polosat1y, who was the #1 in russia, and basically taught unkind lexer and cooller how to play the game. those are the legends of quake, not some fucking noobs if you haven't noticed.

the skill gaps became much smaller in the later years... not to mention the overall skill level of players went way up. rapha lost plenty of games in 2009, even a tournament although it was very very close. nobody denies that he dominated 2009. the same with cypher in 2008.

dude, lakerman, fatal1ty and a couple more, those guys were the very top of quake. skill gap between them at the time is probably the same as between rapha spartie cypher in 2008. you act like zero4 was there basically all alone taking titles from noobs.

it surely is a condition, be it some verb or an if clause.

what i thought had happened was that lethe misread the quote and understood that it infact WASN'T hub and bo1, and thus answering:

if it wasn't? lol. it was, ...

but i was out of context and he was just underlining the point he had been trying to make all along.
