Thank you so much for uploading this! it's really sad that QL isn't at IEM anymore, maybe a new arena shooter will emerge and we will be able to enjoy this kind of excitement again :)
idd, it's a very brilliant move getting a 10 frag advantage, running away for the last 5 minutes of a duel and getting brutally owned in comeback by socrates
if you know how to play T4 (Vertical Vengeance), you'll know what you probably should try to do on any map. CZM said it best, you want to try and maintain position in the upper areas. The two biggest reasons for that is that you can get to any item on the map, deny weapons and also drop down for ammo. The second reason is so that any fight you take, you have the intuition of being able to fight for more hp and armor and not just die if you lose. I guess it also kind of shows you how easy it is to die even when you're stacked, so you become more reliant on positioning and cover to survive.
@QuakeInceptrix had no idea fatal1ty was that hardcore. COD and Halo arent as technical as Quake... didnt even know they had competitions for those games.
Judging by what you said he may well be but there's alot of hidden talent on quake live and there guys who play it for fun and do something else with their life instead of proffesional gaming. Rapha is a brain player/ tactical player who uses his head to get frags and catch people out whereas there are others who use aim to get kills and some who use movement. I'm a Tier 4 player and i can tell you that the top tier 4 players have different tactics and playstyles which is why they are at the top
all of the top players play the same actually, they just use their aim to manage situations that aren't usually controllable. Cooller and Rapha are positional and they both know that positioning is what guarantees more damage. T7 is one of the maps that shows the strategy the most imo, both players try to punish escapes and movement around the map. Cypher was the best at it I think, he would silently enter rooms and punish a player when they were in a bad spot while they dropped or started to move to the next item or what not. The rails and lg are precalculated, they know where and why they use the weapons. At the end of the day, all of the players must aim well, even if their head on aim is weak. You cannot expect Rapha or Cooller to favor face to face attacks over picking stack off. They play the game smarter, and it gives them better opportunities with less incoming damage.
for people seeing this years in the future, a lighter mouse is generally better. You can definitely get results from a heavy mouse, but a lighter mouse makes micro adjustments significantly easier in higher level play.
@Gaaranarutol Russian thinking about girls first, afer PC games ))) . thats the difference and maybe why he lost )) but Coller ftw , he is da best . He doesnt spend all life to be nerd .
@QuakeInceptrix There is people that only play ql 24/7 Because fatal1ty is focusing on being the 'best fps gamer' in general, he is not nearly as good as some of the players in ql, fatal1ty will keep making a shit load of money with the products and not support the community that made him famous and rich. Typical, eh?
LMFAOO, you got it exactly, in quake Fatal1ty would get his one frag and play deffensive for the rest of the game, in todays quake he wouldnt stand a chance
ROFL compare ANY of the old pro's matches circa 2003 to the latest quake con and they ALL would get owned. It's like comparing a Ford Model T to a fucking Veyron. Your point being? Ten fucking years is a hell of a long time to improve, for the likes of CZM and Zero4 and Rapha, not to mention Toxic and Fox. Fact remains, back in the day, Fatal1ty was untouchable, and he has earned MILLIONS from a multitude of successes across different games. So yeah he made the right move. Whats your point?
