Is this for real?

Yes.

it was deleted because it was requested that the parent post be deleted as demo upload didnt work orso and was reposted.. so any replied went along with it :)

zero4's mum requested it :<<

how long ago was this demo?

last night

thanks for posting, z4's still got game !!

sum1 spoil plz?

One of them wins.

rapha's game is tight, z4 looks rusty as usual.

score was pretty close. too bad z4 doesn't have beast aim like these newschoolers.

dunno about that. i'd say his aim can match up to anyone when it's on but he's probably rusty as fuck right now.

Ok, so he's been rusty for what, 3-4 months now...?

u mean hes playing 3-4 months now since a loong break?
u think its enough ?

how long of a break do you think he took?

2-3 years

unfortunately for his fans, that isn't the case. i know for a fact that he's been playing on and off at least since 2005 when i left europe and returned to the US. and now, he's been playing regularly (again, one of the most active west players) since at least december; perhaps even earlier, but i only returned from my own hiatus in december.

with play i dont mean 2-3 games a weak

like i said, he's one of the most active west players; this implies that he's playing almost everyday, and for 2 or more hours each of those days.

oh zero4 <3<3<3

nice stuff from z4

hope he shows up at eswc

When this game went down, rapha had already beat ZeRo4 something like 16-11 on ZTN - and then again on T4.

There were 16 of us spectating this, and most of us didn't know who "dro" was at the time. Inbetween the ZTN and T4 games we urged dro to take a seat. Thats when rapha played walter and those two had one of the best matches I had ever seen ( I posted that demo on here right afterwards ).

In my opinion ZeRo4 was the best of the best ( and he had a track record to prove it ). However, I know hes gonna have to tweak his config up a bit to be up-to-date with these "newschoolers".

doubt its abt config or anything but you see in q3 you just cannot come after 2 years of hibernation and beat the top players (unless you are czm and q3 is all math for you :P), I mean zero4 is still good (as it shows in the demo) but he is a human being , not a robot !! and cannot just take rapha down right away, but with two more weeks of practice who knows !

Agreed.

did z4 say something or does he join a server, play a couple of hours and go? no irc talking or smth?

he's just talking to ppl who have a "name" as it seems ;)

and i hope he'll play some more games to get in top-shape ... he seems always to be a bit besides the games when playing. he doesnt recognize the enemy from times and seems to be surprised, or he reacts too slow when the enemy is next to him.

What? Why would he chat while he was playing? He did a bit during warmups and quite a bit while he specc'd.

i didnt say anything else. he only did during spec-time.

on which server they are usually playing?

sorry man, but i didnt saved the ip's/server-names. also i dont remember them.

cpma.team-empire.com is where most czm/zero4/chaoticz sightings are

czm was never inactive

zero4 aims is total shit when his aim gets better i see heads rolling
still so nice to watch just intelligent and not brainless aimgame

you've got them backwards. czm is the one that shows up for 2-3 weeks at a time to play then disappears until the next tourney. zero4 has been highly active for quite a while now.

he also did only train 2-3 weeks before when he won quakecon/cpl?

a few months prior to cpl '06, he was practicing almost every night for about a month. then he stopped playing online completely. he resumed the same regimen about 2 weeks prior to the event. he's shown similar patterns prior to past events as well, so yes.

he'll be back! and he'll rape everyone at ESWC.
.


















but cooller will prevail as usual

agree with the back part, not quite agree with the rape part, and after having seen some euro beasts not even sure abt the cooller prevailing part..remember cooller is also human :)

if cooller really wants to win, NOBODY can stop him... not even 3 of those euro beasts combined.

height of fanboyism :D

height of truth :D

agreed.

who would you say are the best euro players atm? i haven't seen a fojji duel in a while , tox seems unmotivated for q3, noctis and k1llsen seem ok... I haven't been that impressed by the poles so far (although i might be biased after the noctis/av3k game)

q3 amateur game

cooller would roll most people on everything bar aerowalk tbh :)

1. No, this was before ztn, t4 and dm6.
2. No, z4 won on t4 19-9 or something. Of course you wouldn't know cause you disconnected before the match started.
3. Most people knew who he was but we were just fucking with people that wouldn't stop asking. Noone "urged" him to do anything. They just didnt /callvote restart in time so whoever wasnt speconly joined and eventually specced until walter.
4. ROFL, yeah it's his config. Get a clue.

Lemme space this out a bit so people can try to get the point this guys trying to get across:

Unread iMessage sent @ 16:04 EDT 31 Mar 2008 - p.w.long is online (idle mins: 22)
(Reply, Quote) From p.w.long

z4 is a much better player than rapha and you z4 haters don't understand that. I spectated the t4 game and z4 won so don't lie. So ROFL, yeah try to get a clue about stuff before you talk about it. ROFL again, his config is just fine. You don't know me but I know you and you're a moron... I watch you because you're so stupid. I SAW YOU LEAVE THE T4 game before it started. Stop posting demos of pros while trying to provide your own commentary. Are you that much of a noob? z4 is probably stilll best, who are you to judge anyone. Now I "urge" you to retaliate so I can findout what your ip address so ROFL my WOFL bitch.

...

Wow..

Alright, now: Don't MSG me.

If you're really rolling on the ground that much, then you're probably infested by the fleas who jump off of your mom to get away from her.

... who ever the fuck you are.

EDIT: You know me but I don't know you.. thats real comfortable ( I have a gay fan ). You sit there and watch when I go in and out of games too?

*Covers self and puts up a big shield to help fend it off*

Are you actually saying I sent that?

u have that t4 demo. right?

Yes?

its old now m8, posted long time ago.

somebody needs to mail z4 a ms wmo with "cg_xerpclients 1" written on it.

exactly. noone prolly understands that he wouldnt look so rusty even after all this years if his xerp wasnt 0.

I really hope that was a joke:D no I'll just assume that was a joke.

bad asumption. just watch the shaft battles vs rapha, maybe then youll understand. but i doubt that you will.

Are you saying he is aiming 'bad' because he doesn't have xerp set to 1?

He most probably never had it on anyway but now that the cvar is in the centre of attention all of the sudden that is why 04 aims bad? Haha.

he is not close to his old aim, but he is far from aiming bad. i just say that he would do a lot more damage with 1, obviously, and not with trying the osp shaft aim.

can someone upload the t4/ztn game plz

His aim is off, his movement is off, but overall I'd that say he hasn't lost his game.

movement is cpmas fault though.

Nah, it merely shows who has sloppy movement to begin with.

e.g walter moves very well despite the "85 fps physics" (rofl @ term)

he's already getting better! cuaght a few matches today!
