spartie above noctis?

i hope youre doing it so that 1st vs 4th seed meet & semis and 2nd & 3rd do. that way the best of spartie/noctis will play rapha in final instead of noctis meeting him in semis

Cant grasp how you can feel its a mistake to seed the QuakeCon runner up above someone who has only won an online cup. Spartie's event was even with players from all over the world and not just Europe.

first of all get it right. it was players from europe and NA. secondly IT WAS 10 DAYS BEFORE QUAKECON, it contained many other competitors who were going to quakecon (e.g. fox, spartie & k1llsen) and so will have been in good shape due to their prac. The only reason noctis didnt finish above spartie in quakecon is because he didnt go to quakecon.

They'll meet in the semis and youll see anyways. Prepare your [+] when im proven correct.

You dont know for a fact that he would have placed higher than Spartie. The fact is tho that Spartie did place second at QuakeCon and noctis didnt. Else we can use his absence as argument for him deserving a seed above rapha as well.

Doesnt work...

both players are even, noctis escaped twice with 1 health on t4 and spart1e didnt even had his own gear, while noctis also was more bothered by the ambient sounds around the gaming area.

I expect if you let them play 100 maps it would probably end around 50-50 for each and what does it matter who is better? This time noctis won, there will be tournaments in the future and we will see again wo will be better. From tournaments before the Quakecon tournament had a higher level of participatns and reputation than ESL TV invitational, so spart1e was seeded above him. You first posting also doesnt make sense at all, even as no 2 seed he wouldn't have met rapha in the semifinals, for that he would have been no 4, which obvious would have been wrong.

i know 2nd would have...wasnt sure if it was gonna be 1st vs 4th & 2nd vs 3rd or

1st vs 3rd & 2nd vs 4th

if the latter then it would have been rapha-noctis in semis. this is less likely (or never used in gaming?) but tennis tournies use either sometimes so was seeing ;p

Ehm think you have misunderstood something. You should even have figured that out from my comment to iniii above. I havent said anything about who was gonna win. I said that you should seed from actual results and not from how well you think people are gonna do.

Your "logic" is stupid imo.

1. he's lan proven already.
2. he beat spartie (and fox) online one week before the biggest quakelive tournament of the year where spartie & fox will have been on/near their peak

and by the looks of things my assumption has been proven correct.

No, it wasn't "correct"

The fact is Spart1e just took 2nd at QuakeCon, if noctis gets seeded higher than him because he did good online, that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Does that mean spartie is BETTER than noctis ? No... it just means he recently did better at a "Major" lan that noctis didn't attend

"the results" is an ambiguous statement. this isnt sprinting/jumping where you have some figure to compare against.

i could say based on the players and "the results" that the online tournie was good enough to be rated for seeds.

fact is that competing for a couple hundred dollars aint gonna motivate a large bunch of the players (avek etc)

I would much rather see all the Quake games too, but I guess the ESL stream is reserved for all the other 'spectacular' things going on over at GamesCom, e.g. FIFA, DotA, WC3, CS, you name it. And on top of that they're streaming their stage show most of the time. And since nobody (but us) is interested in seeing Quake... :(

If I'd only knew that there will be no stream at all, I would go to the HSTV studio myself to cast those games on a proper stream. Due to a coincidence I even have the passwords for their servers ;x

But, that's the second time that the ESL is giving the Quakers informations much too late. Firstly, with the invitations, and now with the lack of a proper stream.

FFS :X

And, as usual, [sarcasm]you're completely right, ID. Why would we even need a GTV?[/sarcasm]

Nop, it keeps "flashing" all the time

added all results and matchlinks, there should be demos available for all games, but sometimes cg_autoaction 3 failed and didn't record any demos.

sorry for the bad streaming, we just got greenlight for non sponsored streaming late last night and it wasn't possible to manage anything better. Thanks to Hawr1ks for trying, QL TV should have VODs, they couldn't live stream as well, I hope the fast demo upload gives us a little credit. :-)

Sitenote on spart1e his gaming gear was left in amsterdam, I think the flight company missed to get it on the the same plane as spart1e, so he had to borrow stuff.

I hope you all will follow the final tomorrow and I really expect some great games (I hope five maps again!) on stage, Joe and James will be casting, of course.

The green light for a non-ESL TV stream has been there all along. I have been trying to get through to QL.tv for some time myself. I emailed a certain American friend of mine asking for help as well but the unreliable fucker failed me.

I finally got in touch with them with the help of xou, but unfortunately it was a bit too late. At least we did our best to get the demos out in asap mode.

i had the same problem! try manually starting the plugin yourself.. you should see the octoshape icon appear next to the windows clock.. then go to the esl stream website (if it doesnt work, try this a few times.. with firefox process off, then with the firefox process on) you can even try to uninstall the whole shit. and restart pc and try again.. x)

not much to explain, before the bug noctis fragged rapha and was stacked to do more of the same.. so playing 3 mins with the spawns they were is pretty damn harsh... presumably due to ESL and their female counterstrike needing to be streamed.

the other maps were great to watch and that map could of gone either way so your comments pretty much warrant me calling you a mong.

well played both players good games to watch

Rapha beat noctis on his best map qdm13. Rapha also played smarter and timed better. I think that the pressure fucked up noctis gamestyle in the first few maps, normally he plays much stronger..

i don't give a fuck about who won, i just say that people should stop sucking rapha's dick so much, cause besides t4, where he was clearly better, he had LUCK on ztn, from the LUCKY grenade on the start which removed the mh from noctis , towards the LUCKY spawn after the 3 min restart which was pretty much gg right there.

yeah he did win 3:1, with that shitty restart that gave him the game, and without 2 best maps from noctis.

hey party ppl.

The decission to play 3 minutes by admins would of been forced due to schedule, unfortunatly running a tournament at a trade show. its very difficult. I personally would of liked a rematch.but honestly it wasnt an option!

Also, sorry for commentry, very stressfull when alot of things dont work just before the game starts, was having to talk alot while fixing things. multitask skills :D . but still great games. and gj john, exelent analysis.

Also the coverage wasnt great earlier on, we know. but quakelive was added to the event very last minute! (also wasnt in our hands) and we had no time to fit it in the tv schedule. hopefully some wonderfull people got you guys demos.

this is just the start for quakelive in ESL, were be back with more bigger and better things.

peace

rapha got disconnected while going trough the rail portal on ztn. There were about 3 minutes left and noctis had map controle. The score at that moment was 4-3(right?) in favor of rapha.

The admins decided to match would continue by playing a new round of ztn with a timelimit of 3 minutes.

During this new map rapha had the spawn advantage spawning SG where noctis spawned GL. The new game ended in a 1-1 score so the total score of ZTN was 5-4.

some notes:

- sometimes, 2gd didn't seem to hear the hit sounds, which is no surprise since he had no headphones and the area was noisy. This problem could be solved, if id implemented a flashing crosshair like q4 had. Another nice side effect of the flashing crosshair is that the viewers can turn audio off, which is needed when the casting is horrible (hello ql-tv).
- often, you would hear sounds coming from the other player. this problem existed at quakecon, too, I dont know if its ql's fault or the fault of the shoutcasters, but something should be done about it
- stream quality should be a little better, i know there is a premium stream, but the free stream is barely watchable (my impression was that the quality was better at the esl razer invite tournament)

also congratz to rapha, he deserved the win

It were fun games allthough obviously a bit anti climax ending, but I think 2GD explained why and I can understand it, but it doesn't change the feeling it left in the end. Atleast it's something ESL and other tournaments should learn from.

About the games. Well rapha totally owned t4. Rapha upset noctis on dm13 where noctis really screwed his usual dm13 game imo.
T9 was a classic match. Fantastic, really starting to love that map.
ztn was a great match until the bug happened. Noctis had the upperhand, but that doesn't mean he would have won.
Anyways the new start on a 3 min timelimit screwed noctis really bad with the starting spawns. He did some great stuff at mega killing rapha making it 1-1 and almost making 2-1 with rapha getting away with few points of health.
Great games and imo a deserved winner allthough I would've liked to see otherwise :)

it is clear that you root for rapha. I tell you one thing. Let's see how he performs when real world duties step in his way. Let's say... after september. But I do agree. He mainly outsmarts his opponents, and I think that is a key hability

after watching the final demos and the games at qcon id say noctis and spartie are pretty close to that level if not there already just a few small things deciding those games. noctis looks like real talent lets hope a big team gets behind him and he continues his motivation to play if big events come around. gratz to rapha.

The way rapha won his maps are really impressive and with huge scores mostly. Even Spartie himself said no one is close to rapha at the moment.

As I said "ATM". rapha is definitely beatable, once the Euro's can get as much practice in as rapha has had, I think he won't have an as easy time as he had so far.

"Wtf I'm talking about here" is that rapha has had more practice (quite obvious, if you can read) than the players that can match him, as I heard that from some players. Though I think if Spartie had his own gear, I think he could have come very close.

I was merely pointing out it could have been a different story if Spartie had his own gear. As a former "UT pro" you should know how much of a difference your own or someone else's gear can make.

Yes, I'll swing my magic stick and I'll make sure we go back in time, pick another airline and then win the tournament! It usually takes a few days to get your stuff back so nothing can be done.

you are an idiot. i dont know how he does it, but Rapha is the best while not having the tough opponents needed to reach a high level. The same cant be said for europe where you can find all types of styles and skill levels. RAPHA SHIT ON YOU. I hope RAPHA would bootccamp over in Europe. Then we would see the huge gap that stands between him and stinky euros

agree, rapha raped everybody on every match he played, on this event and quakecon as well
if spart1e said that than I crown him with the title "idiot of the year"

Don't have to rape to be on another level. I remember Italian club football in its glorious days. They only won their matches with 1-0, but at some point it were 3-4 Italian clubs in the semi finals of the Champions League. They were, without a doubt, on another level, and so is rapha.

1) "Even Spartie himself said no one is close to rapha at the moment."
we have the mentality of a winner here, hands down (off my daughter, of course)
2) "I also dare to say both are sports in my opinion"
you don't have to squeeze into deep analysis, the answer is much closer to primary school, compare rapha performance at quakecon with cypher @ eswc 2008 event where he did not lose ONE duel, and you have the meaning of the different level, quakelive don't enter into the tiny overtrained to the bone category, yet, where every subtility marks the leap, if so rapha would not lose his goddamnit first two maps on quakecon, to the extend of almost losing the title, and we all know it was just the smell who saved his ass, pretty much different than the x creature from another world u are singing about
3) make the connection between the reality (point 2) ) and spart1e statement, and you have the real cause of rapha the saint

God.. you seriously don't understand it..

1. You can have respect for others, and train to beat him. Rapha is the number one. I have heard various of teams and players say Fnatic.CS is #1 this year and are on a different level. Are they unpro? No they are not. I have heard football players say Barcelona have been on another level, are they unpro? No, they are not. They just have respect and try to beat them at the next event/year and be that player others respect.
2. Yes, cypher was on a different level that event, that doesn't mean rapha isn't? I think you see "another level" as a gap that no one can overcome. I'm just saying rapha is THE best at the moment and if he stays on his form he is now, and the rest do too, no one will beat him.
3. Make a connection between the two points, and you will understand.

Anyway, I'll stop replying as you will never WANT to understand what I'm saying. As I said earlier, you are arguing for the sake of arguing.

They should implement a server feature where you can get a demo, go to a certain point in time, and let the players start playing the match from there.

I had the impression that Fatality noobified his comments a bit too much. I understand one adapts the commentary to the audience, but it was strange to hear 2GD making precise remarks and fat answering vaguely. Nevertheless good show dudes!

That was my vision too. You could focus on specific things (control keeping, mid-game vs end-game comeback, quad run, ecc) instead of hoping to get the same situation in the next match. The only situation you can focus train at the moment is the match start. This thing would allow for the next level of training. Would be great :)
