Cookiezi's Return and other Spectator Events 

Even when cookiezi turns 60 he'll have triple the amount of spectators he has now.

cant believe i have seen cookiezi unban and his return both live

for alot of us cookiezi has been part of our teenage years so this was one of the highlights for gaming to me

when he streamed, osu became from just thousands to suddenly 13-15 THOUSAND LIVE VIEWERS

he started streaming right after this video got uploaded LOL

Cookie has the power to hype up an entire community with just his presence True legend

I remember spectating whitecat's fc on sound chimera, that was pretty cool.

Nice history video as always. I remember spectating vaxei coming back from break in 2020 (after winning usc i think) and the chat going at rapid fire pace as he passed Caravan

I will never forget watching Freedomdiver setting his 900pp score, the only spectator event I’ve been apart of.

Cookiezi comeback was so hype, I've never spammed chat so hard in my life LMAO

Merami could read the osu chat when Cookiezi was playing

Do people consider -GN’s unforgiving Fl FC a spectator event

I remember getting into osu in 2016 after seeing clips of shiges plays and then getting to meet him at COE2019. truly special times. and even though I don't play osu actively anymore I'll never forget the good times and memories and friends made over the years

Reddit,discord,skype,chat and the most important of all. Zoom

Cookiezi remains a legend that inspired me to just go ham on all ranked maps. I dont even play osu! anymore but still wonder what he's up to

well that's why he's true #1, no pp record can surpass him

For myself, and I'm sure many other people. I was introduced to osu by a friend, and then that famous cookiezi big black play cemented my aspirations to become amazing at the game

cookiezi's chat is moving faster than speed of light

Great vid Willy!!

It's good to finally be able to say "I was here".

that's nice, tho it seems like he won't play for a long time again

chocomint's Made of Fire HDDT 98.54 full combo. Without a doubt, one of the most impressive plays ever set in osu! history, but one that takes some experience to appreciate fully. In the 12 years that this map has been ranked, chocomint's score remains the ONLY DT FC, and there's much more to unpack about this score. While some maps easily convey how difficult they are through the raw aim, or speed requirements, Made of Fire is much more nuanced than it may seem at first glance. To help illustrate just how difficult this play is, I would like to break down and analyze aspects of the map and the play itself. Right off the bat, we get a sense of the density of the notes, and the reading difficulty associated. With DT applied, the map becomes around 243 bpm, and approximately AR 9.67, a higher note density than most players are used to. Still, this should be manageable, but adding to the difficulty is the constant rhythm of, and spacing of the patterns which continues for the entire map. These would already pose a significant challenge to players' rhythm sense, reading, and finger control, but with hidden, the reading becomes MUCH harder. This is all bread and butter to someone like chocomint, who plays maps with similar patterns all the time, but everything we've gone over is just the beginning. Ask any top player what the hardest part of Made of Fire is, and they will all say the aim control. Many of the patterns in this map are continuous with strange velocity and angle changes, which need very fine adjustments in a player's aim to hit. None are more apparent than the various zig-zag patterns, which appear in the highest spacing sections. These require a player to aim to each note in a 1/4th beat time window, while potentially changing to an almost opposite direction. This is where chocomint shines, as almost no players have the level of aim control which he does. Bringing it all together is where the magic of this play really lies. DT alone makes the aim control barely in reach for any other player, but adding hidden makes these highly control-intensive patterns nearly impossible. Following the rhythm on such a map can be hard already as well, and trying to keep high accuracy, given the layout of the patterns, becomes ridiculous too. The real challenge is diverting focus between the aim aspect and the tapping aspects of the map, while keeping your reading in check as well. Keeping up with the map the entire way through to such a degree is exactly why chocomint's play is so astonishing. It's hard to put into words how much skill goes into a play like this, but to get an idea, I recommend trying the map for yourself. chocomint's HDDT score truly is in a league of its own when it comes to the aspects described earlier. Just over 2 years after it was set, some players are now approaching DT FCs, but not with nearly as high accuracy, and the majority lacking hidden. For now, it will remain a dream play for every top play, and a reality for chocomint. Hopefully this video has given you some more insight into, and appreciation of, one of osu!'s best plays of all time.

Man is straight goated

Ah yes rrtyui gangsta, I was there 3000 years ago.

i was there and it was on my birthday and i was drunk as hell and i only realized what happened the next day lmao

Man never rusts

i think i first watched cookiezi play back in 2015 or 2016 playing wonderman bare noize remix. 700 spectators, it was crazy. I hope that we see another spectator event soon

Cookiezi made Osu players stop breathing

osu420 is a constant mini spectator event :O

Dude i took a week long break from osu and right in the middle of it cookie-mothafucking-ezi comes back, im mad i missed this

cookiezi atm is probably the biggest twitch streamer who doesn't use a mic

We know why he's back to Livestream, because Cookizie need money for whaling on Genshin

i love cookiezi itl take him a few weeks tho to get all his skills back

He litterly beat whitecat until he choke himself Its like a epic moment in anime moment :0

Never forget Freedomdiver pp record spectate event.
