Ukraine is basically US colony and they still don't want them, LuL.

Fuck that. At least quakecon will be shit with QC anyway.

Cypher is from Belarus.

Awww shieeeet.
That sucks even more...

Did Poland became a German colony since 1991?

Poland is a german-russian condominium under jewish management.
Similar to Ukraine but less obvious and with some sovereign makeup slaped on.

That level of conspiracy mean that USA ruled by jews too.
Do you know that Judah in deep hell made suicide, and his soul not exist anymore? - That mean end to jewish devil seed. They all are doomed.

That level of conspiracy mean that USA ruled by jews too.

There's a giant jew under the temple who requires dirty socks to smell with its giant jew nose.
That's why jews spread out and wreak havoc everywhere. It's a distraction to steal dirty socks from everyone.
That's why the power went out at atlanta airport

they were smuggling dirty socks again.

now you know where your missing socks went.

- Its all true! I'd saw them:

Makes you wonder if he's gotten in trouble for something... That or he's filling out the paperwork wrong.

The less-obvious things they often demand from citizens of 'suspect' countries when they apply for a visa are:

- being employed / have ongoing local business they make a living from (attending university often counts same as being employed, but not always)
- owning real estate, preferably one they live in

Cypher likely has none of these.

If he's sponsored, he's employed, no?

Nah.

Fairly sure the money he's made from gaming has enabled him to own a property in a Belarus...

Doesn't need either. Visa access has always been random/problematic to get particularly for sport competitors.

That way usa try to trim down competition.

It's pathetic, but then again, the pathetic definition applies to most usa behaviours.

If that's true, then how do all the other players not have visa issues? Plus, QuakeCon is not the only esports tournament happening. There's CSGO, LoL, Dota, OW, etc., happening all the time in the US.

If it's random, it seems Cypher is extremely unlikely that he's been singled out twice in a row. Rumor has it he got in trouble in the US the last time he was here.

Nah, he's right. President Obama signed an Executive Order which banned Cypher from the US. Trump loves rapher and so it remains.

USA!

USA!

USA!

trierd to rape one of the Razer ho's

If you get denied the first time then it's harder to get a visa later. Technically it's just at the discretion of the interviewer, people need to prove they're not at risk of overstaying, etc. Being mid 20's with probably no work history besides something you can do online from anywhere in the world doesn't really demonstrate ties to your home country.

It happens all the time, in any sport category. They just avoid troubling the most popular international competitors, just to not make it too much blatant what they're doing.

Nice conspiracy theory. The US have stopped Cypher from coming because they want to maximise their chances of winning a QC Lan trophy. Makes complete sense.

I don't understand, why clawz can go, and not him?
did he do something wrong last time he was on US?

btw, i'm very sorry, this is very sad :\

i bet something like they forgot to give him stamp into passport when he was leaving usa last time

dont do drugs kids?

dont do QC

QC = Krokodil of games

I laughed. have a plus

dont do QL

Ye, in worst case, you might end up having some dignity.

Or maybe just waste your time on an 8-year old remake of an 18-year old game, alongside an average 300 other peeps also wasting their time.

They don't give a fuck about what does he play. But he's an athlete from a former soviet country. They'd ban they all if they could, and they pretty much do.

1. He's not an athlete.

2. No one gives a fuck about who wins a quake tournament let alone the US government.

Nice ninja edit

Meanwhile QC-time is MEANINGFUL, right?

:'

I don't see why you divert this onto QC.

No one is claiming that QC will give you some dignity, however that's what you're saying about QL, an overplayed dead game with no money and barely anyone playing it anymore that everybody was bashing until they found a new scapegoat with QC.

Because you diverted it onto QL.

Guess, actual gameplay fun (and the game BEING QUAKE) doesn't really matter to you.

I never bashed QL btw.

Unfortunately "actual gameplay fun" gets affected when there is poor activity on the game with barely any public servers other than CA and only a few pick-up games (if you're lucky) played by the same 40 players over and over.

Don't get me wrong, I much prefer QL to QC and I don't like the whole champions and abilities thing on QC or even the netcode compared to how smooth QL is, but wishing for the death of QC - and by liaison the death of the quake franchise altogether - doesn't make sense to me.

At least on QC I don't need to queue on a pick-up channel for ages before being able to play a TDM game. Now the game has close to 6,000 average players which is slightly higher than the 300 average players on QL who pretty much all just play CA. I know it probably won't last but I'm enjoying it while it does.

I really dont understand whats so hard to grasp here: the more this qc abomination is successful, the bigger the chances we're getting the same in the next quake game. More gay graphics, more kid abilities, more lul scrolls. And the idiots who have been ruining this franchise for the past 12 years would get a raise.

No. Let this "game" fall hard so the next quake title actually feels like a quake game. And yes, there will be a next quake. Bethsesda will be milking doom, quake and wolf in the upcoming years, thats why they bought id.

In the meantime, you can keep reminding us that the devs are doing us a huge favor when theyre trying to sell a product and that a 19 years old title that costs 10 bucks has less players than a free game that had a 1mill tournament last year. The latter wont last long though.

Even if QC isn't successful you would be silly to think that they would then make a new quake that will resemble the old quake games in terms of graphics and gameplay.

They tried that with Quakelive to revive arguably the favourite quake game of all time and it was a financial catastrophe for them. You can tell me that the reason is because they did mistakes and because there was nothing new, just a revival, but to me that's proof enough that the old quake games will not be successful games in this day and age which happens to be the main reason why they will not go back to the old quake gameplays, and simply try new things to please a wider audience at the risk of alienating some of the old quake fans.

People were calling for and predicting the death of QC after the 1 million tournament last year. Today, 1 year later, the game has 10 times more players (average and peak). I know this hurts to you, but this is reality.

Quakelive wasn't a "rework" "remaster" or 'new iteration of quake', it was just Q3 runnig in some fkn awesomium window inside a window.

Hence why I said revival of Q3 and that there was nothing new and not a "rework", "remaster" or "new iteration". Can you read?

Yeah, well, in QC, you just have to wait in the menus for minutes to get a decent bot game. : D

There are no bots in Ranked games, and I usually find a game within 2 minutes or less even with filtering down to 2 server locations.

Good for you I guess.

Should you only play games that have 'money' in them then?

To be fair there tends to be more happening in a game that is financially backed by its creators with new developments, patches, updates, etc. and even tournaments with cash prizes to maintain a "pro scene".

I don't play games just on the principle that there's money in them (otherwise I probably wouldn't be playing quake games but rather something like CS or OW), however you can't deny that it's a big positive when it comes to the activity, development and overall life of the game.

But things are getting awkward when the ONLY thing that keeps a game alive is the money in prize pools.

Whatever keeps it alive doesn't matter as along as it's alive. QuakeLive is more like QuakeDead at the moment.

"Whatever keeps it alive doesn't matter as along as it's alive"

Here's where the fundamental difference between us lies.

Probably.

You'd rather choose for quake to die and you not being able to play it at all rather than having an hybrid of quake available and active which granted isn't like the older quake games.

Glass half full, glass half empty.

B O G O T A C to replace cypher?

qc...

OpieOP

cicken says hi

Hellsy says hi

I would pass it on but i am not currently residing in the RTP channel

Levels of respect for the paco have fallen to an all time low but fear not hellsy mate:

I will soon be conducting a seance with paco

his respect has been lost lately in the channel

i will ask him what he wishes for his memory

i am hopeful that he will provide us all with a stone tablet with the rules in which one would respect the paco written upon it

i have high hopes

i need to, as the respect levels for the paco in recent times has been disgusting

You will be summoned in due course hellsy.

To the Paco Inquisition.

tweet @realdonaldtrump

Trump will hook Cypher up with the free visa pass

russia hasn't been payin him for nothing. hook em up

Maybe Zero4 and Sync can put some effort in and help him? That would be nice from them...

they can't, even virtus pro, last year they try, but nothing..

gay

oh well, the competition will be mediocre at best without him. He was the only worthwhile player to keep an eye on in the tournament.

RIP competition.

....covfefe.

Yes, that's what the constant negative press does to a man.

Happy Covfefe day my dude, be sure to drink all the covfefe all u want!

Ye, the most powerful person on this planet surely is a poor sod.

*cyphephe

hahah

"...Yes, its nothing but a witch hunt against a great, great, tremendous player. SAD!"

Aint it the other way round?
America first! No potential winner allowed from shithole countries!

Are you discord yellack?

No.

they still mad over catching with smoking pot in the us 2 years ago? it's not like he killed someone for fucks sake...

it's legal there and shit too in some states, what a retarded country tbh

california - legal, texas - no

Indeed. I'm in California at the moment and it's just like popping to the shops. Brilliant.

So's sleeping with horses, don't make it ok...

dirty drug addict gets what he deserves

hang the bastard

lol

Do you have any source about him getting caught smoking pot, or did you just make that up?

no, that was official somewhere on his twitter replies when he was denied entry the first time

maybe another reason why he teamed up with av3k who was convicted of drug dealing in poland? Is Av3k by the way allowed entry to the us?

"Somewhere on some twitter reply" Might as well have never existed outside your mind. I'm not saying you're necessary lying, you just sound like you made that up on the spot and went with it.

You can't just claim something of that magnitude and then say "it's probably real, but maybe not hehe"

So far, there is no proof whatsoever that Cypher did anything that could have troubled him.

And one doesnt need to do anyhting.

The vast majority of visas get denied for no particular (apparent) reason.

the guy was caught smoking pot in the us and that's what happened, i honestly don't give a fuck about what you think about that and i especially ain't gonna go through his year+ old twitter posts (which he may have deleted anyway) to prove that to you. it wasn't even quake related, he was originally denied visa to attend some overwatch tourney, then he got denied visa for quakecon afterwards. virtus pro was well aware of this when they signed him so there's that.

And again, you just repeat what your opinion on the issue is without giving any proof.

It's okay if you can't be arsed, who has the will to waste time browsing for proofs, just say you won't post any proof instead of repeating the same made up story over and over.

It won't make it real without evidence backing it up.

And maybe it happened, but it's a pretty heavy accusation to not back up, so he's innocent until proven guilty.

You don't need to have a criminal record to be denied a visa for no reason.

Has anyone considered, y'know, just fucking asking Cypher if that happened?

I remember seeing a Tweet he posted about it, so Lethe is correct - However after he was signed he went on a delete spree with his tweets.

idk man.. maybe you shouldn't fuck around with drugs when you go abroad? does it sound hard?

he a good boy ))

:)

All this pedo stuff on ESR just has to stop.
