"ahh man can't get more shot from behind?!"

/me lols loads at yet another dueller that think's they have some right to not be shot from behind.

No right to shot him from behind ... others ways it is pure luck or because you are too much focus on him.

;-)

/me lols loads at ffa noob hunter

I had fun in the chat this morning, fanboys are the best people you can talk to.

Wait, he still has fanboys?

11 year olds.

lol... dm17 was cringey... overkill was boring... but dm7, lmao. must watch.

ahahahaah, dude definitely has a crowbar or something shoved up his ass, its unbelievable

"Look at all of them focus me, I know what's going on. Whatever..."

Yeah, because it totally makes sense to be winning in a FFA by a large margin and expect other players to not focus you down whenever they get the chance.

haha such a douche

he seems so painfully frustrated, doesn't even seem to be faking it for entertainment value

And the opposition wasn't great. Only "fragged_by" was ok (24 % of wins) :

http://www.qlranks.com/ffa/player/fragged_by

i watched his csgo stream and it was the same there. annoying :|

That dm7 match. I don't think I've laughed that hard in a while.

Best of 3 :

http://www.twitch.tv/fatal1ty/b/536179822?t=90m30s

:=))))))))))

That third one is amazing.

"15 is the quad time".

He waits 4 seconds for no reason, goes for it at 14, misses quad, gets fucked and whines.

If you keep watching he says after "gotta time quad better, that last time was so bad".

http://www.twitch.tv/fatal1ty/b/536179822?t=95m10s

He's up all night to get lucky.

I came in hot for DM17 but stayed all the way to DM7 before i lost it. That rage face! THEY ARE FOCUSING ON ME! :-D

Whatever

when he starts revealing his plans for the upcoming quad... priceless

You know how sometimes you bait the opponent to pick up an item to do huge damage afterwards? That's what he did with quad! I literally and figuratively shit my pants the second he came into the room ;D

haha, thanks for the pointer. dm7 was great!

I was really holding out for a bunch of them come pummel fat in the basement at http://www.twitch.tv/fatal1ty/b/536179822?t=93m0s , but alas it did not happen.

come on dawg, whats the point in flaming him like that? I just think his passionated that's all. Can't you be glad he's getting some exposure for Quake and not playing Camperstrike all the time?

Hes been running prequakecon tournaments too, what have you done for the community dawg?

Yeah, huge exposure. All 30 people watching his stream

I so wanna rape him in FFA. Too bad it's NA..

Yeah too bad...

Yes. Too bad.

Would love to experience some of his 'competitive' whines first hand.

Fuck yeah maaan! You would smash him so hard!

How do you get that much ELO in FFA?
I only play random pubs and I get ~2500 no matter what.

Playing with Bunnye, med1xza, botz3r, hateme and guys like that - who have actually got a solid clue how to play FFA and has solid aim.
Basically, search for servers which has 2600+ elo players on it, win and when you reach 2700, search for 2700+ people (which will really narrow your choices down, sadly), otherwise you will get heavy minuses even for 1st place.
In a nutshell, always look for servers that have players on it who got higher elo than yours and try to win as much as you can.

Seeing his games, good chance for winning a few maps. You're implying that it would require an unhuman feat or something.

My FFA elo is 2748 with 2,5k games @ 70 % win-ratio - I'm not boasting about it, because let's face it, in reality it doesn't mean anything awesome, since it's FFA, not duel / TDM / CTF. I'm not really a great player by any means (let's say around mid-skill overall); there any many-many people out there who are WAY better than me. Also the game mode is considered as a rather casual one - but maybe the number, if nothing else, slightly hints that I might not be as bad as you think (in FFA at least, which we are talking about).

fatality has gone to over 40 lans
you haters haven't done squat w regards to esports
flame on, jelly neckbeards and dweebs

I know only one person who would use "dweebs" =)

Would that be a fellow dweeb and wannabe neck-beard? He's jealous of our neck-beards because he can't grow one.

ouch gg

Too bad the biggest fraud of e-sports is linked to the quake scene :/

why he such a fraud though? I would say the biggest frauds are the "pros" of mobas like LoL and DotA2

actually the best pros of lol are the Korean's scene (OGN) players wich are just amazing personalities.

u trolling right? the korean starcraft players are mostly a bore with a blank expression on their face. is the lol players any different?

I guess part of it is because they cant speak English and we dont understand Korean but yeah

anyway i wasnt talking about personality, Im talking about skill in esports, and those games are a joke in that regard

Korean SC2 pros are great wtf are you talking about. Just because they concentrate while playing the game doesn't mean they have no personality outside of the booth.

I don't think any LoL pros are worth paying attention to, Korean or otherwise.

Dunno I wasnt too impressed by Starcraft players in interviews. Fumbling all over themselves in most cases. Guys like Stephano and Naniwa would be examples of awkward personalities. It could be because they are playing a very dull game, which is like learning the most optimal algorithm for a math problem, that has none of the creative expression that Quake does

With Koreans it's 3 part I think. 1st, the general dude that spends all his time playing Starcraft tends not to be the most flamboyant of personalities so to speak. 2nd, its a cultural thing we're they are generally more reserved and soft-spoken. 3d, most of them speak no English, so all we get is the translators bit, and some body language and facial expressions (or rather lack thereoff in this case), to get a feel for their personality

Also the fact that most of the Starcraft pros are damn teenagers, average age is extremly lower than Quake pros (or rather ex-pros because of lack of tournaments), and in that age most guys are awkward as sh*t, I know I was, and it gets worse ofc in a live broadcast with everyone watching.

All these factors combined doesnt make for great personalities, in fact, it would actually be WEIRD if it did. One of the very few Starcraft pros with a marketable personality is Grubby, who gets fans on a pleasant personality alone. But he hails from a different era were esports were more off the "Wild West" in a sense

You clearly haven't seen Firebathero

Or MC. Or pretty much all the SC2 pros, because all of them have had their chances to be awesome outside of the game.

I believe you are using a very wide definition of the word awesome here. With Starcraft pros, showing any kind of emotion except a blank stare, I guess would be considered "awesome"

I guess to appease your nitpicking, I could use something more like, "very, very impressive". You don't like the game or the players, which means you won't follow the game or the players, and so you'll never see anything to disprove your arguments.

Even if you do, chances are you won't accept it.

i was deadly honest

@anyway i wasnt talking about personality, Im talking about skill in esports, and those games are a joke in that regard

- what "skill" are you talking about? because yeah, mobas doesn't require much mechanics. it's much more like reaction time, counter strategies and overall strategies, moving around the map, being on top of decision making as a team (idk if you realise how much coordination it requires).

you can't judge it from soloq perspective. watch some OGN then play this game with 4 other ppl as a team all on teamspeak. those guys are training so fucking hard, they have all the psychologists, health staff and all that shit and you say it requires no skill. you can't imagine how much work a top8 Korean LOL teams (the ones that play in the best league - OGN) put in the training. it's just unpleasant in soft words what you say. ofc they don't require fucking aim, you can easly play it with trackballs and no mousepads on a 10 years lcd 60hz monitor.

if you compare fps skill to mobas you are just retarded because it's like comparing football to f1 or motocross to mma.

beside that, i'd like to say it again: those people are amazing personalities they are hardworking as fuck and you don't have to respect that but disrespect is totally out of place

if you compare fps skill to mobas you are just retarded because it's like comparing football to f1 or motocross to mma.

Or like football to bowling? It is not directly comparable (in specific skills), yet somehow I feel like most people wouldn't say that there can be no comparison in how hard they are.

why dont u go pro in those games then
ez money if they have no skills :D

It's hard to find so many retards to start a team

Starcraft definitely isnt an easy game, its just mindnumbingly dull, like learning an algorithm for a mathematical problem, and executing it as flawless as possible in real time, over and over again.

As far as LoL and DotA2 goes, I know there are some strategies involved in what heroes and items to pick, and some amount of team coordination, it's just not what I consider real skills and esport AT ALL.

Why would you be on a site like this, or be around eSports, if you think every single one is bad?

I never said I dislike all esports

No, just all of them.

SC2, dota2 and lol are not all esports as far as I know, and thankfully so

I guess there's also CS, but it might as well not exist to begin with.

So you only dislike all the main ones?

Actually if there's such a thing as a cyber sport LoL is the only one, as is the only one considered to be a sport in first place. Also QL certainly wouldn't meet the requirements (if any) because there's no professional scene, just non centralized events (currently one a year) played by amateurs.

As far as LoL and DotA2 goes, I know there are some strategies involved in what heroes and items to pick, and some amount of team coordination, it's just not what I consider real skills and esport AT ALL.

So what constitutes an "e-sport?"

How can you say they don't require "real skills" if you haven't mastered them both already? Just like in qlranks, show your account otherwise you'll be talking out of your ass.

How can you say they don't require "real skills" if you haven't mastered them both already? Just like in qlranks, show your account otherwise you'll be talking out of your ass

While I wouldn't say they don't require real skills, I agree with him that MOBAs require a more limited, capped set of skills. Your whole argument is like saying you can't comment on what kind of skills chess has and whether they're hard if you're not GM yourself.

This "low skill cap" mentality around here when it comes to MOBAs just shows how little u peasants know of the sport! There are certain players who (when in shape) dominate the scene and play on a different level completely. Look at SKT Faker (LoL) or Arteezy (Dota) for instance. Now go fetch me some potatoes!

your familiarity with moba games is disconcerting.

MOBA > Quake, not even close!

I've played and watched thousands of hours of dota 2. But hey, thanks for asking.

maybe your skill cap is just low then? BOOOOM!!

"Bow to the king - Quake" - Tyrone

Quake definitely isnt an easy game, its just mindnumbingly dull, like learning an algorithm for a mathematical problem, and executing it as flawless as possible in real time, over and over again.

No difference. It can be said about any game or any sport.

only if you have no understanding of how Starcraft works in comparison to Quake

Maybe go ahead and point out the differences between SC and QL instead of talking shit?

I.e. explain why strategy in SC is like learning an algorithm to a maths problem and strategy in QL is not like that?

P.S.: I have a good enough understanding of how SC2 and QL work. These games are way more similar than you would think.

Starcraft is primarily about executing a set strategy as flawlessly as possible, theres not a lot of creative freedom there, optimal building and unit compositions are pretty much figured out at this point. there is very little unexpected and hype things that happen in a pro Starcraft match nowadays because the game has been figured out so to speak

Quake on the other hand will never have that problem since its based upon movement and aim. If Quake was like Starcraft there would be endless complaints about imbalanced races, units, buildings, strategies etc, 15 years after release still, which is what you will observe on EVERY Starcraft stream since Justintv/Twitch started. "Protoss imba", "nerf widow mines", "storms op", "David Kim is an idiot" etc etc

First of all there are dozens of different strategies which all depend on match-up, map, player preferences and the current meta game in SC2. These strategies are continuously adapted to the game, just like a chess player would make his moves or as a quake player would adapt his strategy to the current situation.

Secondly, you claim that quake is based on movement and aim. These elements are very similar to SC's micro - i.e. they are in fact execution and nothing else. Good execution (aim, movement, micro) will help you win fights but will only get you so far if your strategies are bad or if you are slow to adapt them to the game.

I don't see a whole lot of unexpected things happening in pro QL matches, do you?

<<If Quake was like Starcraft there would be endless complaints about imbalanced races, units, buildings, strategies etc, [...]>>

We do have endless complaints about the balance of weapons, e.g. the endless whining about LG.

lol now you're really clutching at straws aren't you? you know very well that you can't compare the constant and massive whine about balance in starcraft that clutters up every damn starcraft stream, to complaints about lg being imbalanced. tbh i havent seen this argument put forward on any Quake stream EVER

No, you are the one clutching at straws. Unless you can somehow come up with an compelling argument how the frequency and intensity of balance discussions is relevant to your claims that Quake is not "like learning an algorithm for a mathematical problem, and executing it as flawless as possible in real time, over and over again" while SC is.

Starcraft is the prime example of "fake hype" by commentators, and they know it, there are very rarely exciting moments in a Starcraft game

HELLO EVERYONE THIS IIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSS

H-TO-THE-USKY-HUSKY HERE BACK WITH SOME MORE

STAAAAAAAARCRAAAAAAFT TWO HEART OF THE SWARM ACTIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNN

Lets not forget the fake hype GEEEEEEEEGEEEEEEEEE from Apollo and those guys, cringe-worthy stuff

In what way is it like "learning an algorithm"? How is this any different to other competitive games where there is some best strategy for any given situation?

Did you mean to reply to zerxez?
Because I have been arguing that SC2 and QL are rather similar. :)

by your reasoning all games and sports are the same and we might as well play chess or football, it really doesnt matter which

strawman argument.

tbh I dont think there's a mathematical way to prove that Starcraft is boring, if there is, it goes way beyond my mathematical skills. I do however dont think many people would argue that Quake and SC are remarkably similar games

As you may well know, regardless of my opinion of SC, it will continue to be a vastly more popular game, not based on merits of game mechanics, but because Blizzard were always good at marketing and selling games, and id software were not for the last 15 years

SC2 is successful because the pro players are connected to the community. They stream often, talk to fans in chat, show off their builds and talent. As far as I know Quake has never been this way. If it were I think it could be more popular with casuals. Personally I think that there are many exciting moments in SC2. Like when Jinro was advancing higher than any other foreigners have before in Code S GSL. It was a huge deal for the non-korean scene. It's always entertaining to see stephano, naniwa and huk play because they are essentially the only non-korean players good enough to compete. The metagame is constantly evolving and you never know what sort of new builds will surface or which old ones will reappear. If you like gaming and competition I don't see why you wouldn't like Starcraft.

That the metagame is constantly evolving is not the impression I have been getting, rather that it is stagnant and repetitive at this point. People even say BW was a much better game.

It's funny how the pros you bring up confirm this notion. Naniwa retired cos he was fed up with the game. Stephano also retired cos he was bored with the game, and said it was stagnant. Stephano has since made some appearances again I believe

That is because of the Heart of the Swarm expansion. Zerg unit named Swarm Host makes for extremely ridiculous games. Stephano does not like the expansion and I don't care for it either. I ended Wings of Liberty in the Masters. In Heart of the Swarm I'm stuck in Gold because of these stupid new units. In particular the Widow Mine is cheap and super deadly. It forces a Protoss player to always have an Observer or Oracle with army to show the burrowed mines. Same with Swarm Host. Without detection you cannot fight the never ending Locusts and they don't even cost the Zerg player any minerals and gas. I hope Legacy of the Void is better. This Swarm Host vs. Swarm Host match goes on for two hours. Ridiculous.

Best match ever :D

If you claim that mastering Starcraft only requires mindless repetition in order to execute well enough, you have no clue about the game at all.

It is the same as claiming that all you have to do is play bots again and again until you master aiming, in order to become world champion in duel.

The fact is that both are extremely tactical games that rewards the application of intellect, and of two players with equal executional skills, the more tactically capable one will exceed.

Did you mean to reply to zerxez?
Because I have been arguing that SC2 and QL are rather similar. :)

in that they are both about movement and strategy? come on man, that applies to most things. You have to get more specific.

and they both include different start strategies depending on map, spawn positions and enemy.

In addition both games focus heavily on resource management. When is it safe to gather new resources, which resources to I go for? What is the resource situation of my enemy: are we even? can they bully me, can i bully them? What can I do to prevent my enemy from acquiring new stuff? How can I punish him for being greedy?

And then of course there are some slight analogies in weapons and their usage:
Which situation will favor me according to my weapons and skills?
Long range or close quarters?
Open ground or narrow corridors?
Offensive in their face or defensive and cautious?
Bounce on opponents mistakes vs. overextending.

Yes, you can compare Sc2 to Ql/q3. In theory, you can compare skills in games to skills in real life, cooking to professional bull riding and you'll still find similar mechanics, at least as long as you try hard enough.

Taking it down from 'general' to 'esports' level, you cannot compare the two games because the skill gap difference is too big, which wasnt balanced out even by the number of players that got their hands on sc2.

This whole discussion started out with zerxez claiming that

"Starcraft is primarily about executing a set strategy as flawlessly as possible, theres not a lot of creative freedom there, optimal building and unit compositions are pretty much figured out at this point. there is very little unexpected and hype things that happen in a pro Starcraft match nowadays because the game has been figured out so to speak".

To which I replied, that this can be said about QL as well, which is undoubtedly true. And then zerxez tried to argue somehow that QL is completely different and somehow superior in this regard. I'm not trying to argue that QL and SC2 is the same game, I'm just refuting zerxez ridiculous claims.

People fully figured out quake in 2001. Yet theres no perfect strategy. People have been playing dm13 since 1999, yet theres no perfect strategy.

The variables in quake are constantly changing, players make possibly key decisions several times per minute. While you can play a perfect game against a specific opponent, it wont work against someone with different playstyle, skill sets and personality.
The skill gap (or creative freedom) in each of this game's elements prevents setting the right, general strategy.

This cannot be said about sc2. Hell, this cannot be said even about bw, a million times more complex game than sc2 could ever become.

Both bw and sc2 have the 'right' strategies, the right builds.
And the right counterplays, as you dont counter the opponent, you counter the build, or the units. All that is given and set.

The variables in SC2 are constantly changing, players make possibly key decisions several times per minute. While you can play a perfect game against a specific opponent, it wont work against someone with different playstyle, skill sets and personality.
The skill gap (or creative freedom) in each of this game's elements prevents setting the right, general strategy.

See what I did there?

You (as in you and zerxez) keep repeating the same claim over and over again, but I have yet to see solid arguments to back it up.

Why would we have more creative freedom in QL than in SC2? (no circular logics please)

What is the difference between countering the opponent vs. countering the opponent's strategy?

What is the right general strategy for SC2? According to you, such a thing must exist. Please make sure to be specific, because I could easily claim that 'kill the opponent more often' or 'deal more damage, pick up more key items' is the the right, general strategy for QL....

can't help but laugh at this...

U randoms are just jelly, lets be honest.

Fatal1ty can do what ever the fuck he wants, like any of you hasn't whined at one point in time.
So he isn't on the very top like he used to be after almost 10 years of inactivity. Back in the day he still won more than anybody else, more than many top level players combined.

He doesn't really have "the champions mindset" it seems

Anyone can do whatever the fuck they want, but if you do something shitty, expect to get called out on it.

NO, sorry,

Fataoity promoted himself almost as a spiritual guide to kids
making appreeacens in several schools, magazines, various intervniers, he was crowned as the king of "mind over game"

He was the face of the "champion" - he was untouchable, unbeatabler and just a solid 100% winner.

Even when he lost he held to his beliefs: practice pratice pratice

He was a ROLE MODEL, thats the whole point.

pOple forget that role models make mistakes and are humans too...

holy shji I shoiuldn't drink so much.

tl,dr:::: A famous gamer known for this well temper gets angry, people want their "money back".

you seem to be a pleasant fellow!
and fatal1ty is a poopeater

Cringeworthy.

Ah ha you have been fooled my fellow esrealitians. This was merely a test, a script, to see if such tomfoolery would inspire such a thread.

Once again you have been duped by the king of self marketing.

Seriously, this was hilarious.

Your comment was a test.
You fail !.

"Dude, there is so much luck going on in this game, you must understand the randomness of this game."

What a whiny bitch! :D

But really... it's disgusting

whatevur.

am I the only one who enjoyed watching the vod ?

he's whining, so what ? Everyone whines :p

I thought the only thing you cam rage about in quake is your own mistakes. But getting pissy because people are shooting at you... World champ : ))))

I did too. Not sure what everyone's deal is.

The best part of the stream is the 60fps

just sad.

It's a man who used to be on top and now isn't anymore, haunted by the memories of the old days trying to bring it back getting pathetic while realising he can't even roflstomp an FFA against noobs anymore.

I had the exact same feeling while watching him play. He seemed to think that he still got the same skill-level he had when he left Quake but he was promptly proven wrong in a freakin FFA game. I cannot imagine what would have happened if he played Duel against a semi-decent opponent.

In his defense, FFA is the kind of gametype built to create rage. It is way too chaotic.

Other than that, whatever, there's no reason to flame him. Yeah it is a poor behavior, but he's far from being the only one acting like that.

It totally is. I love playing FFA because I'm decent at it (to be fair, not being retarded is about the only requirement to be a decent FFA player) but the level of randomness is high as fuck.

To me, that means I've got no reason to rage at it because it's just random FFA bullshit - you get lucky sometimes, other times you don't. I don't really care that much if someone else wants to get mad about it though, it's just kind of funny to watch.

Other than that, whatever, there's no reason to flame him. Yeah it is a poor behavior, but he's far from being the only one acting like that.

really? i think ffa is the least frustrating gametype. now duel on aerowalk on the other hand... :D

I know the situation was not really what I am about to say in the case of fatal1ty but if you take a FFA match and put 8 players with a similar skill level, you will enjoy a lots of kill steals, death a second before you finish your kill, map control issues due to random assaults and spawns. You can still observe the same thing with a wider skill range but just because you might be used to play FFA against lower players doesn't change that FFA in its optimal settings is supposed to be very 'random'.

While in Duel, the only thing you have to worry about is your opponent and your own mistakes. In team games, spawns are usually located around the team and you know in advance where to expect enemies just like duel.

Also like others mentioned already, the chat messages and the extra focus you get for having a "fatal1ty" label probably didn't help either.

I don't find it frustrating either but I can see how people would. It can be super random. Not so much that playing smart won't help you place high, but still more random than any other gametype imo. Sometimes you just get shit spawns right on top of stacked players and there's just nothing you can do about it. Sometimes you waste 10 seconds in an LG battle with first place only to have the guy at the bottom of the scoreboard swoop in and kill you both with 10 hp apiece. Sometimes you just charge through the map with a shotgun blowing away low health players with impunity while they fight amongst themselves and you end up winning in 5 minutes. It's just weird sometimes.

Duel in general is really frustrating to me because it's not random at all and so it's easier to blame myself when things go badly.

for me it's the fact that in duel you can be utterly helpless if you lose control, and its especially frustrating if 1hp decided whether or not you got control. Where as in ffa its much more forgiving, you can just respawn and get right back into it.

Yeah I've half given up on ever being a passable dueler. I just don't have the nerves for it. I get anxious and frustrated too easily when I'm losing and it ruins my aim (which already sucks to begin with).

I will certainly agree to this. FFA can be some of the most rage inducing in Quake for sure :>

can anyone list all the highlights of the stream?

i died at "GOOOOD THiS GUYS ARE SO FREAKING LUCKY"

it's always funny watching people trying to bag fatality.

he's won over 400k in prizes and probably lives off the money generated from his brand and doesn't need to work a regular job. I wonder who's getting the last laugh?

who gives a flying fuck if he doesn't compete any more or isn't at the top level, lol.

dude, his clock counts down. fuck this guy.

Notice he plays on QL default config. Later on he switched the timer.

I'm not a fan of unjustified negativity either (though I think most of the fatal1ty-bagging is done in good fun) but the whole "he's richer than you and therefore above criticism" thing is just bullshit.

I'm not saying he's above criticism, I just wanted to point out for all the people who are genuinely hating on him to think about what they're actually doing and how silly it is.

really hope that he has some good deals on his brand.

he only averaged around 50-60K$ a year when he was very active, which is by all means liveable but nothing to sustain him for any years beyond his active years.

Someone make a Dubstep Mix and upload @ Youtube.

ketnar was so proud he proud he won that ffa camping bfg he posted it esreality. sad nerd

Are you guys trying to put down a guy who has made way more money off esports/merchandise than every single quake live player's esport earnings combined?

Looks like it.

What the hell has that to do with his playing skills? Spalding wins the NBA every year, but that doesn't make Albert Spalding the greatest basketball player ever.

play some defense, Dame.

Everyone can have a bad day.

He's absolutely right though. That's why I always lose in duel. The fucking opponents just focus me down.

Anyway, he's not raging. He's just really passionate about Daft Punk.

what :O

Ok then it's settled. Bring Tony motherfucking FFA and let's have a Twtich TV showdown

Focus me more, yeah >:-[ !! (after getting killed by a stray rocket while standing in the middle of dm6 with 20 health)

little pussy (c) fatal1ty

fata1lty is the new athene

people call him out on his bullshit but others come in and defend him with something completely different.

doesn't matter how much money you made from tournaments, getting killed by an air rocket and saying "god he's so lucky" is fucking stupid.

it's the way people defend athene. BUT HE GIVES TO CHARITY. yet he's still an asshole

The difference is that Athene has at least one funny youtube video and more than 30 followers :D AND he does that on purpose.
Fat is some random redfaced faggot tier slaming poor kids and get mad like a complete moron on the most retarded things.

Or maybe he just forgot to eat a gamer peanut :)

His mouse control seems to be fairly good. Maybe with decent setup, cfg, practice, practice, practice he can reach 2-2.2k elo/semipro status within half a year. Too much hate here. He is not that bad as a player. Sure, he was afq for a years, but with a lot of practice he can reach good level.

He is noob in regard of his attitude. Not because of skill. Movements are good/speed, good rail ...

Yeah I wish he would come back to the pro circuit. Qcon ctf tourney would be an excellent place to dip his feet in. Another opportunity would be a new game like Reborn. This whole exhibition ordeal is like a caged wild animal circus act.

it's not about his (potential)skill, it's all about his attitude which i would maybe expect from some 16y/o, but not from 33! y/o "Fatal1ty FPS Champion".

^^^What this man said.

You'd think for all his "accomplishments", and not to mention age, he'd be above raging like a young teenager. Especially when he currently isn't and hasn't been for years playing the game competitively.

He's retired. Why does he have to maintain a super attitude and super skill? Can't he just play for kicks and rage it up? He wasn't talking trash in the chat at least.

If he wanted to actually make a comeback as a top player he'd do what he did before, hunker down, play ~12 hours/day, tweak the config a bit (as opposed to default with sens/accel changed only), and take on a different attitude.

Even so, top players rage too. They're competitive. They want to win. It's frustrating not to pwn. Do you expect total equanimity?

No one is talking about his apparent level of skill. The point is, whether people like him or not, he's been to many lans and won a bunch of money over his career. Even got endorsement deals from it. He's 30 something years old. It's kinda silly, maybe even sad, to see someone with those credentials raging like a kid over some random frags during some random matches.

And since when has raging become acceptable or even the norm? I don't know, I played a few different sports from the time I was really young to a couple years after high school. And I've never come across a sport where throwing a temper tantrum was acceptable behavior.

There are videos of strenx and cooller raging.

It isn't a temper tantrum really, which implies some kind of prolonged episode. Just some temporary frustration.

i find, the reason for this "temporary frustration" is the point that makes the difference.
"temporary frustration" all the time, because someone dares to shoot you in a random FFA game? WTF?

Haven't you ever been frustrated in an FFA before?

It's not about the fact that he got frustrated.

why would i be constantly frustrated, when i win 8 FFA's in a row?

he should play on euro FFA servers in the evening, there he would get a reason for this level of frustration. :D

We'll just have to see your stream then, see how stoic you are :-)

Like no one ever laughed at strenx's rage :D Cooller is his own type and thing.

Wow :)

He sure holds some power over this community. We're lucky he doesn't troll us!

"horrible luck" when a guy went up a jump pad succesfully

"keep focusing me guys" when he had the quad.

"I come into the room and 5 guys focus on me because of my name"



Is he completely retarded?

We think so :-)

If you had read the chat comments sometimes, his viewers were also the reason why he thinks they focus him, people keep saying in chat that everyone focus on him when he plays pub QL because he is fatality, I tried once to say that "it's FFA, so everyone is your enemy..." but then they said "no many times they agree to not kill each other so they prevent fatality to kill anyone, LOOK YOU SEE? Or they go on voice communication to be organized", so this was the last time I clicked on his stream. Because he won many tournaments in many games many people (not only fanboys) believe that he can always be on top in any games, which is insane in my opinion, and if they don't see him on top of scoreboard in any games he plays it's weird and it's kind of hard to believe for them so obviously you can see the reactions they will have regarding to his performance. But I've seen some people who are not delusional and support him, they understand that there is a time you are on top, and then it's over.

Honestly I cringe sometimes when he rages and when I read/watch their reactions (fat and his fans), so I agree and understand how lame this all is, but coming from some people on ESR, it's also laughable when you laugh at him, because when one's favourite duel player loses the amount of excuses you can read on stream and on the forum is pathetic as well, from the players sometimes but more from the supporters.

=D =D =D =D

It's not the fact he rages in a ffa game. It's how he do it. He simply cannot accept being ever outskilled even if just for a shot. And not even that, he rages when he's low in health and someone machineguns him.
Just look the painkiller duel, it's cringeful, he's playing with a complete noob and he takes literal pleasure in writing mean things to him in chat. Laughing like a maniac while two seconds later raging because he took an unsurprising frag.

And regarding peoples claiming he has skills, "c'mon guys" as he would say, he retired from the late scene of q3 exactly because the competition had raised too much for his level. If he had even a remote chance to be vaguely competitive now, we would know.
He was playing ql since his beginning, only that he quickly realized he couldn't even touch the top players.

In those streams he isn't even playing good FFA competition, ffs. Half the peoples he shoots are watching in another direction and keep watching away even when machinegunned in their backs for 5 straight seconds. Running away without shooting. Tier 2 material, he'd get wrecked by good ffa players.

IMO he smoke something or use drug that alter nervous system.

#illuminati

Just look the painkiller duel, it's cringeful, he's playing with a complete noob and he takes literal pleasure in writing mean things to him in chat. Laughing like a maniac while two seconds later raging because he took an unsurprising frag.

If you are talking about the game from the vod linked on top...

...he was playing a bot.

(And yes the bot responds to chat, certain words trigger certain responses.)

Really? That's awesome, i'm not even mad. But who names a bot Ringo? Anyway, why in hell would you rage at a bot while you are dominating him.

Did not notice any rage against the bot, just that he said that the bot hits ridiculous shots.

He was being funny / sarcastic whatever you wanna call it. (Or trying to at least, not everybody has the same sense of humor.) Hard to believe you missed that. He also said several times it was a bot actually. Blind hatred? (Or should I say deaf hatred?)

No hatred at all. I did infact became addict to the quake scene only after having seen "fatality vs aim" on youtube. I know, i know, don't laugh too much.
I don't know why, but that short video was really mind blowing for me at the time. Prior to that i never played online and only against bots, with basic config and without even changing the sens. No accel of course.

That video simply showed me there was a totally different way to play, the long jumps, the weapon switches, the abuse of the lg (that i barely used since with bad cfg was weak compared to rockets and rails), the sistematic item harvesting.
And, i discovered that there were peoples whose main activity in life was pushing the game limits against equally skilled fighters.

I had tremendous respect for Fat, i used my 56 k to download interviews and youtube matches in 240p, watching every single one of them at least a dozen of times.

The thing that most impressed me was his dedication and his mindset. Fatality practiced like nobody else, 8 hours a day with inflexible schedules, he took the whole question even more seriously that many professional athletes. He had absolute self confidence, and a positive and light view of the things.
Blonde, blue eyes, athletic, he was the prototype of the hero.

Medias threated him with gloves, he was *THE* pro player, the guy that started a huge business, always looking forward for the next challenge and without ever doubting he could not have won.

Now his celebrity is diminished, but back then, everybody and their mothers knew Fatal1ty. He had an aura around him. Peoples that didn't even play games, peoples that played other games, unreal tournament, starcraft, warcraft, half life and counter strike, nintendo etc, they knew him at least vaguely.

He could be the single thing that gathered more players to the quake community, ever. He probably is.More than anything else, more than the game itself.
So, we should all be grateful to Fat for that alone.

With more time, and a better connection, i started to understand that his career and his aura were in part fabricated; it was harsh to discover that the reason he prograssively disappeared from the quake scene and migrated to other games was that he simply couldn't top the new raising pro players. Cooller was too much for Fat. Many others, too. And if you watch now his matches, you can easily see why. And wonder how the hell could someone playing like that be at the top of the game, for few years. Terrible aim, slow play, campy, weak timing and questionable positioning, and so on. Makaveli was beyond noob, some of his matches are simply atrocious and probably not even tier 3 of today.

but all this doesn't matter. Fat was a positive role model, a genuine champ with a terrific mindset. Times changes, but some things stay.

This is part of the reason watching those streams is so painful. Those peoples playing ffa, they aren't even skilled. They can't even hit mg, they give him the shoulders half of the time, they don't even turn around when shooted in the back!
And they can't time a motherfucking quad.
It's ridicolous, it's like tier 3 with half of the players coming from tier 2.
Half of the peoples in this forum are well above that shit. This is tierslumming, i don't understand how Fat is even allowed in those servers.

And still, in spite of being easily winning, he rages. It's how he rage. Not even Strenx rages so much for such trivial bullshits. Strenx looks like a cool blooded gentleman compared to him. Strenx, the whiny biach.
"everybody rages"?? I wouldn't rage so much even if someone paid me to do it. I couldn't. And he's genuinely pissed. You can see hatred in his eyes. And how he sneakily looks at the camera sometimes after, well knowing and ashamed. And he's absolutely delighted when he outaims some random noob.
It's cringeful.

I had never seen in my life someone raging for having 20 hp in a open place and being machingunned to death. I mean, what do you even expect? Is this the first time ever you play quake? Because in cod and cs is even worse than this.
And he does that repeatedly.
For hours straight.

I really hope he was on some drugs. Or that he didn't sleep in the previous 2 days. Never seen anything like that. If someone hit a serious airrocket or a couple ones on him, he seriously risk to die of stroke. Not that he risks anything like that in a game where only one of two players are decent.

It's better not to see him playing duel, then. It would be rated PG 18.
And that's precisely the reason he avoids playing duel like plague.

It's just saddening to see how he went full Gollum.

And as others have pointed out, funny if you are in the mood. Some ragers are quickly annoying, but this is a whole new level.

The grandmaster level of rage, pound for pound undisputed number one.

what if someone quad pummeled him, would he have turned the camera off?

Regarding the painkiller video, i'm not a native english, so spoken language is particularly difficult to understand, and i cba to watch it more than a minute, it was boring and i never played painkiller.

Wow, nice post. (Seriously.)

It's always disappointing when somebody you admire acts in a bad way.
For example I like the way Cypher plays, but when he starts acting childishly I cringe.
Which is just one example.

As for Fatality; I'll stick to the one thing that's 100% objective and that's his behavior in that video.

I also think his behavior was over the top. He acted like a spoiled brat from bad parents who's developed a foul mouth. He needs a stern parent to tell him to behave himself. This may sound condescending but that's the best I can put it.

That being said I think the general hatred about him here on ESR is over the top as well. He's just developed a bad mouth, that is all. I don't think he really means everything he says, a lot of it is posturing for his fans as well I think, which is not applaudable either but still. Also people here tend to exaggerate the importance of every word he utters. For example when he cries "luck" he knows well enough that's just part of the game, we all have similar thoughts sometimes when we play, we shouldn't take all overly serious. Then again I don't know him personally, maybe I'm being too optimistic.

i disapprove of the tone of this thread, definitely.

Thanks for your input

lol

i think the whole thing here is the fact that he's ragewhining with a 20 frag lead

TBH, I give him credit for uploading/streaming his childish rage.
Must people would be too embarrassed to share it with the world.

Personally, I rage just as much/more as him in that video.
I think most people do.

I prefer to brick up my inner rage, and let it eat me from inside, until I die from some horrible disease a few years from now!

You rage when someone hit mg on you?

lol, i rage when someone even looks at me :D

that's the spirit!

Ironically, fatal1ty's haters are the ones watching him the most. :P

what? didn't even know he had an own stream(or that he was even still alive), and i guess not many others here either.

dunno why ppl would make a big deal out of this.
if you play FFA even the least bit competitively, frustration will occur, that's just the nature of it. lots of seemingly random elements, like target choice, so you can be unlucky and get focused, have shit spawns, etc.
I curse quite a bit while playing FFA, just to myself, nothing wrong with that.

granted, he did whine in a pretty stupid way, and crying when he made mistakes or got outplayed. :D
dunno what ppl expect though, he's obviously way past his prime, just fucking around. whatever. more entertainment for us.

Less qq more cashew

AAhahahahahahaha

wish his cam wasn't blocking the chat, I want to see the gamer food jokes

speaking of which fragged_by is the most shittiest player i've ever seen on quake

He's on top of his shit though

Don't be too hard on yourself.

Every single person in this thread has had similar thoughts. It's just that not everybody streams their games and says them out loud.

I've watched some current top players' stream and they are just the same. (Granted, some more than others.)

What's really pathetic is that somebody made a thread about it (and this thread in general).

That being said I do think he whines too much. (Yes they "focus" on him, that's what you get when you are famous. Deal with it.)

Yeah top players are playing FFA ... and especially against newbies ... screaming after every frags like this.
Sure baby.

I understand him, nothing pissed me off more than ffa randomness.

haha, maybe he's just really emotional player

This is his face after he fragged Relic in the Painkiller showmatch

that's my face when T1E connects to irc

cute little retarded pigy :3

coincidentally, that was actually fatal1ty watching T1E connect to irc, and not during the Painkiller showmatch as most people believe

inb4 potata = 24

:)

wow that was crazy to watch. what a different world it was back then, and it's only about 10 years ago. the amount of money they threw at esports was just crazy in the time of the IT bubble and before the economy crashed. I mean none of that stuff was sustainable business in the least.

Really makes you understand where Fat is coming from though, he really was the shit back then, and it must be hard to leave something like that behind.

If Jonathan actually cared about competing again he'd do really well I believe. Not quiet good enough to take down evil, cypher or rapha... but at very least a gatekeeper. No shame in that. Truth is there is no incentive for him to return. It would mean wagering his brand and wildly successful history and for what? Lucking out and winning third place hundred dollars? His headsets cost a hundred dollars. Get real.

I agree. There's no reason for him to come back.

1) He probably is very busy with his company, etc. - meaning he doesnt have as many hours a day anymore to practice as much as he used to. And at this point, he would have to practice a ton, because he hasnt played as much the last 10 years like the other pros have.

2) Even if he came back and could be Nr. 1, he would make so little money that it's not even worth the effort. It's just too big of a risk to his brand/status in case he doesnt end up at the top. Heck, him being him, he'd just have to get 2nd at one event and people would flame the shit out of him. Even though players like rapha/evil/cypher/cooller don't get 1st always either... (or in the case of cooller, rarely get 1st). :)

What people don't understand is that most top athletes etc. are very arrogant. It's part of the reason that they are so successful. But with the really big sports, we don't notice so much, because they are trained to act differently infront of cameras, doing image campaigns, etc... And some personalities are just better at hiding their arrogance than others.

Either way, I'm personally not the biggest fatality fan myself, but you can't deny that he was/is smarter than all of these other pros who have wasted a decade of their life and have almost nothing to show for it - other than a few trophies and earning minimum wage type money. Fatality was smart enough to make a brand out of himself and build something that lasts longer than just him placing 1st at some tourny and get a few thousand dollars.

Hes aiming well though!

Cant help but think Fat plays so much CS because it's a lot more newb-friendly, and he doesnt get flamed by the cs community if he underperforms, is there even such a thing as underperforming in CS tbh? the game is crazy noob-friendly

btw, Im not saying Fat is bad at CS or Quake, he seems fairly solid in both games

cs is 70% crosshair placement/gamesense 30% aim

but aim in cs:go is a lot harder to warm up your aim and activate that last 30%, since you gotta aim at the head and instead of the body like scrub game quake, plus you have to compensate for recoil

It seems to me like it would be a lot about reaction speed, a lot more than in Quake. Like when a head finally pops up where you were aiming for the last five minutes, you gotta shoot fast. I would probably suck at this game.

u make it sound like youre actually good at something D:

Do you even know someone who isn't good at anything?

lol yes

Surely you know people good at being bad.

Nobody expects him to do well in CS, nobody should expect him to do well anyway.

I know about this.

Yeah, I figured. I just thought it would fit after your comment since it has some nice shots, some funny stuff, and some really dumb shit. :D

Wow, so I agree that his rage is a bit ridiculous but really, you make a thread to flame him for that ?

What a sad life you must have. He inspired a lot of players to play quake and you should give him some respect for that already.

Retards...

Respect for acting like a 10 years old?

Retard.

Well, if you could read, he said 'respect for inspiring others to play quake'. Not 'respect him for acting like a 10 year old in a video/stream'.

You know, it is possible to 'respect certain aspects' of a person without agreeing to everything he does.

You're not even able to understand what I mean and call me a retard. Nice move

No one fucking cares about him being MURRICA HERO OF ESPORTS AND FPS.
He acts like a bitch he got mentioned in threads like a bitch.

Cheers o/

Well If you found some fun doing that then great for you I guess

He wants to steam. So what is the problem ? i give a link to people who wasn't here.

RETARD.

actually he got mad at csgo wich i think he was right its very frustrating with a noob team. Thats why he act like that at quakelive dont make a big deal about it. btw his railgun skills are still awesome...

yeah the first 2 minutes were nice, i wondered what's so bad about this video... then he got pissed for not being godlike.

Still say fair play to him for making money out of playing video games ages ago. Doesn't he have his own company/brand/sponsors even?

I say kudos to him because a long time ago he saw a sort of gap in the market and took advantage.

Granted he wouldn't stand a chance against the quake elite of today, but so what. Personally don't see any major incentive for some type of come back at this point.

Again, granted, some of his comments during the vod are a bit rage worthy, but not uncommon.

not uncommon? it's probably the first documented case of someone raging 20 frags in the lead

He hasn't got his own company actually. Normally companies provide a service for other companies but in this case Fatal1ty inc is just a name that is thrown as a sticker with a bunch of manufactures that sell shit. So for example Fatal1ty inc does not provide audio chips for Creative, does not manufacture capacitors for power supplies, does not make anything remotely related for ASrock, it's them who ring up the top guy and ask him how would he like to be on their cardbox. In other words fatal1ty doesn't look for promotions, he waits promoters to contact him. He doesn't even go to their headquarters to say "Yes maaate, very, very nice! Legendary hardware" he just goes to a promo events, Quakes on their hardware and gets the fuck out of there. That's why if you watched the whole stream you will notice at one point he said something like "Fucking mouse, keeps playing up". Hence after all this text what I'm trying to say is Fatal1ty inc is riding on a pipe dream from 10 years ago and doesn't make anything revolutionary worth buying. In fact half of his shit is overpriced and there is better alternative else where.

I'm not hating on John either but I wish he puts more effort into these kinda things and back up his promises if he is not going to pro game anymore. Hell even Cooller at one point decided to do some sort of unrelated business with a car dealership.

quake is potat mentioned this point several times in this thread: Whining so much with a comfortable frag lead -- pushing the point further:

He seems genuinely surprised and almost offended when he does get fragged.

Thanks to the cam, you can see a veneer of bloated hyperconfidence on his face, a mask of delusion, colored by past glories and victories, almost stunted in time.
He seems both giddy and disgusted by the retro experience of trying to relive past Quake moments. His play is all about him and NOT about the hilarity, frustration and exhilaration Quake brings to players of all skill levels.

He speaks in the same cringeworthy Missouri dialect ("Gahddangit!") that he always did and reacts with the same and equally cringeworthy "awww shucks!" "geeeWHIZZ!" expressions.
NOTHING about him suggests maturation, a subtle sense of humor/wit(usually correlated with intelligence) or even an ironic appreciation of himself vs. the Fat perception created over the years.

Hard to watch.

hot dang you freakin nailed it bud

His comments were pretty cringeworthy, but I liked his aim and map tactics, but then again even I can look good if I jump onto a 1000 elo FFA server. I can only imagine the rage if he jumped on to a server with other top/pro players who were playing ffa for lols...

Still - even though the viewing numbers were probably low, there still would have been some viewers who watched because of his name, seen how much fun QL is and maybe got them to take up the game, so we shouldn't be too down on him...

One thing though is that I imagine when you start up a stream like this you have to type in the title of the stream on twitch yourself, so when he sits at his keyboard and types: "... Champion FPS Gamer..." does he not feel the slightest embarrassment since he hasn't competed in years? And everyone knows that since he is playing regularly he must have used an alias at some point to duel vs rapha or dahang to see if he could still do it, and realised that he just doesn't have it anymore...

I expected much more flaming from ESR.

Quite in here :)

^ This.

What did you expect. Fatal has his smirk on his face, like he shouldn't? He can't have his own expressions?
He rages, so what? Normal thing. I rage, you rage, he rages, she rages. And even QL rages sometimes when they fuck up the code.

Fata1ty is a legend, that dude paved the way for FPS esports, and yeah I watched him do it. And yeah, he had his share of failings. Like everyone else.

If you don't like the guy just say so out loud instead of finding feeble attempts to jab at a guy that achieved more in his teens that you wille ver achieve in your life.... "Legend is dead" bwahahaha. He's not into esports anymore so he's "dead" in a way, but hes a pioneer and a legend no matter how hard you try to say otherwise.

I do remember how people raged at him getting sponsorship, marketing his own line of gaming accessories, etc etc. Some people are just jealous, that is all.

And to be clear - he's pretty annoying sometimes. Like every other Quaker. The ebtter you are the more you rage at your own errors or errors of others.

Fatal1ty will probably lose sleep over this thread....LOL...

This is about the "progressive" spirit taking over these guys without even realizing it. If fat would have been a member of some uni board together with these nuts they would have probably call to retiring all his accomplishments + send him to the tower to commit penitence for an eternity.

Because, hey, complaining, and especially complaining while still owning is not FAIR or politically fair to the poor lamerbots.

11:43 PM - &#9986; ShadyVoltaire &#9773;: On dust2 he gets the T spawn for the double doors AWP pic.. runs in after flashbang, instantly gets merked anyway by nameless blinded samurai; whines "I get no support"...
11:43 PM - &#9986; ShadyVoltaire &#9773;: What a cunt lol*

* "Cunt" in the Scottish, Irish or Australian familiar sense of the way rather than the American/Canadian way which would bear a negative social connotation.

thx 4 bump m8, many unique lulz were re-lived.

Can you elaborate on the etymology of the word 'cunt' as you describe it?

Say what you will but at least fatal1ty will play on his real account. That is something certain other pros cannot say. Hell, that is something the majority of wannabe pros cannot say. It's sad to be so insecure that you need to hide your already anonymous virtual identity. Especially when it is of no real significance in QL or FPS in general. Take notes testosterone challenged manginas.

So ... how can we prove that Fatal1ty doesn't / hasn't used a fake account? It's not like he's so amazingly good he'd instantly give his identity away, lmao

I did not imply he does not or has not done it. My point is that he live streamed hundreds of FFA/CA games on his fatal1ty name. No aliasing, no quitting and no filter. Just raw Quake.

With zoom, I bet.

+EAGLEVISION

I thought he was still owning noobs on dm17

only when he gets lucky

So he is up all night ?

Had to reply twice that was fucking funny :D

Thank you for bumping this. Legendary moments but shame Twitch account has been deleted. I guess this topic was too much for the champ. Back to gaming food and motherboards I guess.

LOL

He's still streaming on Twitch.

He has a new gaming headset coming out at Christmas (monster?)

I've always been entertained by him to be honest, he is definitely a character in the world of esports, and thats what is needed to try and get esports more mainstream.Which helps us all in the long term as gaming online can be more rewarding than watching TV which is why twitch is becoming more popular.

Relax and enjoy!

One for the black guys.

People with no visible emotions either have none, or don't care about the thing they are doing, or lie about what their outside character is really about, or care more about what someone else thinks of them than they think of themselves.

Whoever you are, you just got algorithm'D Yo!

Ha-ha.Algorithm'D :)
