"Crap graphics" is just for clean view so you can focus on your opponent and not on high resolution textures. Every graphic settings are tuned down just to minimize distraction during the game (low resolution textures, simple items, no weapon model). These are settings for professional gaming..

Quake Live was so fun… I had so much hope for esports and Quake back during these times.

I used to write articles for SK gaming it was reallly insane to have rapha appear. American who wasn’t interested in fame as much as others and was very distinguishable in terms of his personality and his attitude towards how he approached gaming for a living. Rapha was and still is a true hero to me.

interviews: 00:05 players on stage: 02:14 match: 12:16 Part 2: watch?v=cNFGYch-qQQ

lmao when they walk with those girls....

Rapha's song at 02:14 is 'Sick Puppies - You're Going Down' if anyone's interested, because I certainly was.

end of era here. rip skill based fps

For all that's asking Cooller's intro song is Insomnia (DJ Polex Night Mix)

What a beautiful playing!!!

starts @ 12:25

Cooller must be.. the only e-sport player on the male side that I actaully enjoy watching. Everything he says is like a funny moment and I can't get enough of him!

Cooller got so much hotter cheerleader girl lol

29:41 thought he was going to suck his cheek all the way in lol

i cant believe how calm rapha stays after cooller ties it up, he didnt react at all

What you see is the commentators view, they lower the graphics so they can stream it faster =] But a lot of pro players lower the graphics to make it more easily distinguishable between the environment and the enemy, don't want to be wasting time wondering if a wall is your opponent lol.

shoutcaster's voice is way too loud and the game audio way too soft, i can't hear the footsteps which makes this whole video pointless :/

even though i play everyday, i still don't know how they play so calculated. i mean, they know how much damage they need to deal, they know the borderline of overcommiting and playing it safe. pretty much every moment of that match, you would see them make a wise judgment. i need to learn this so i can play smarter lol

Someone know the title of the song that plays when cooller is called onstage?

I miss those days...

Finally, thanks. It's a shame tho that ingame volume is barely hearable. You can't even hear properly how much 'blind' rocket damages the opponent :X

because you can concentrate more on whats happening and gameplay than on the unneeded graphics.

Track for Cooller starting at 2:55 ? Someone has to know. I really need to know

is it normal for rapha to look like he's just smoked a bag of pot?

game starts at 12:22

My 2 favorite guys :)

Love how czm perfectly predicted this match.

i remember watching this on IEM :)

why thank you. you saint.

@kalbaaro The "headset" are pure noise cancel, they are not allowed to hear the crowd and the commentators for obvious reasons, and it's what they need to focus

Quake + Dream Theater = best thing ever.

@TheSeventiethSeven What's surprising is a lot of people don't devote their lives to it. My first roommate in college was ranked very highly in Warcraft 3 and had mad thousands of dollars from it over the years. I didn't even know until after we graduated, my roommate had never told anyone because he was so embarrassed by talking about winning money from a game. It was sort of a shock I never noticed anytime where he sat in our dorm room practicing for hours or something.

This match is super intense!

Die Piefke Komentare in den erste droi Minute tut mir Weh

I think it probably has more to do with having clear streaming during the IEM, actually. Don't think anyone streams the QL tourneys on KZfaq, videos just get put up later

does this deserve a competion

@6kubix9 its sennheiser's helicopter headset, dont know what model

what is the Name of this song

yeah, I hear ya

bloody hell, this shit is fast paced

Where can I get tickets to the next year Inter Extreeme Masters???

@ziielu Reduced lag and increased visibility

Because the picture degrades due to artefacts from youtube's compression

yes

DREAM THEATER

16:42 commentator #1: "awww, cooller dropped down, that could be a big mistake" commentator #2: "really nice move by cooller" :x

What the song name at 2:55? Anybody knows?

truly amazing gameplay.

I miss esports so much...….

Pause at 3:05 and you will know why cooller lost LOL

This game should be played in ones and zeros

why do they play on the lowest graphics? does it help or smth?

A nice match.

Hahaha you are so right!

How do i get my lighting gun like that?

@kalbaaro I believe it's the reason why BW pros do the same. to remove more noise but I could be wrong though.

That was a fantastic explanation :).

Oh boy!

mantap gan tonton dulu gan

The beginning feels like a scene from a SyFy movie called COOLLER VS RAPHA

What's the intro song called?

How do you make the textures all smooth like that? please reply.

I want see unreal tournament99 on cebit!!!!

TEXTURE SETTINGS PLEASE

6:00 "As I am" loop intro??? lol

how do they stay so emotionless? it's like

name of their headsets?

and rapha always looks like hes about to fall asleep

oh boy!

3:04 Cooller was like "Man... I'd rather be spanking dat ass...!"

how much did he win for 1st?

IEM, Y U DROP QL FROM THE ROSTER??

where can I get that config?

rapha is stoned look at the beginning how lost in space he is ,and those eyes ..:))

Same shoutcaster for league of legends right?

Love czm's prediction.

I WANT THE INTRO MUSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that last one made me alol.

uh oh... oh boy... i mea... i mean...

Johnny was here

2:55-3:45 Musik name plz

czm loves rapha

Also he looks like Miles Crane, which is worth it's weight in gold. But in truth, if CZM had never stopped playing, he would be top still. The guy is a fucking genius.

Who is the commentator that sounds like Matt Damon?

YEA RAPHA!!!

please don't tell us the final score in the comments. I wanted to watch the full game with a surprise who wins.

Sick Puppies FTW

SKILL!

But from a spectator's position, why not at least put picmip up and have decent textures? Not bloom or anything silly, but damn, id did a great job polishing up the graphics. Wouldn't kill any of us to watch these games with decent graphics. Think this guy curtis makes a legitimate point.

what do you mean? look at his face

2:55 whats that song?

This is what I am calling a real FPS game - I feel so fucking sorry for kids which play CoD game series (especially modern genres which SUCK totally, old school CoD1 and CoD2 were stunning!)

cooller angry = sheldon cooper (the big bang theory (lol))

Gotta love CoD4 Promod though. You need just as much knowledge to compete in LANS as for Quake! Trust me!

cooller looks like hes about to get wood when that chick is holdin his hand

Comantators?

I'm going to post a comment, oh boy!

y is she shouting? its not loud there

Man... that commentator sure does RAMP IT UP A BIT WHENEVER SOMEONE LAND A RAIL!

lol rapha's smile 29:43

How do I make the game look like that?
