Cooller is waiting up till 3 AM just to come on, so show some love. I will take some questions from these comments, so leave them here and the most [+]'ed ones will get asked. Except all the troll bitches who shit-talked me during the event.

Thanks!

would like to know what plans he has to prepare for the world finals, but that will prolly come up anyway

i want more emo slasher rages on air...gogo

shut up, you're just a number!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dird is definitely a Dird

<3

Basing the quality of questions with [+]s on esr where cooller has so many haters isnt a smart idea. See Lave's 1st question as example.

Whats wrong with lave's questions?

"do you think you would have won the t4 game vs strenx without the lags occuring and all that?"

Enough smalltalk on that issue already to waste more time with cheap drama, also "if this or that" questions are zzzzz cause nobody can even know the answer, what is is and what isnt isnt.

cooller haters and my first question? actually im a huge cooller fan since the time of his rivalty against zero4...

that question aint insulting but provocative - and theres nothing wrong with giving a little pepper to an interview by that + i really would want to know, if cooller thinks the game would have run the same way without all thos ruckus

k maybe was a bad example :x

Pretty sure Cooller has more love on ESR than anywhere else that has ever existed in space or time.

So all the people who don't like your casting have to be trolls?

Are you this deluded?

edit: Just realized you had called yourself the 2nd best quake-playing shoutcaster. Nevermind.

They were about to unpause, and thre was a power failure in half of the city... i think this was a combination of bad admins + some unfortunate power failure... nobody to blame, between the players, just the admin. and at the end of the day, it was strenx failing on mega timming, he said so in a french vidfeo interview, that is why cooller took it.

For cooller:

Did you bang any of the razor bitches? And how many at one time?

but av3ks not on the show.

(can someone photoshop Cooller taking away av3k's girl?)

maybe avek and him gangbanged the dark haired one. ex soviet block style baby

man - what do you think they were both looking at on that screen?

hint: http://www.esl.eu/eu/ems/season4/q3/relegation/player/4061525/

For cooller:

How much cock did you suck to get to replay the last 27 seconds in the strenx match?

I had to laugh about this since he is the one that always gets a blowjob, but anyway nice try

For cooller:

Why did you stop using the WMO? Do you prefer aiming with the Abyssus?

I believe the issue was that he had sensitivity issues with his WMO and Windows 7.

Perhaps someone can confirm this?

They say that, but he uses XP on his home setup afaik

you dont play world championships from home

No shit sherlock, but Cooller used a 125hz WMO on every machine he used, so you can't really say it was W7 that was fucking it up :|

after someone had shown him how better an overclocked wmo performs(like a year ago?) he always overclocked it

the "is your new setup with keyboard on table and new mouse any better, or was it just to bring some fresh air and motivation for you?" question is better worded tbh, what is he supposed to say? "the sponsor forced me and i think it sucks"

This. I want to know why he changed his mouse and how he got used to it so quickly - i know he had sens issues with his old mouse. also tell him to share his cfg for all the cfg nerds outta there.

he updated his cfg today at http://facebook.com/Cooller

bind mwheelup "+button2"
|]

|]*

1) he wanted to change devices/cfg/etc after dreamhack since he was kinda bored of his old ones and wanted some fresh air
2) overclocking wmo at lans is annoying + sens always felt different for him
3) he changed his setup because with the old one his hands(and more importantly shoulders) were on different height levels and it was kinda tiring
4) he wishes he had started using abyssus earlier(yes he LOVES abyssus itself and it's 'setupless' particularly)

"do you think you would have won the t4 game vs strenx without the lags occuring and all that?"

"is your new setup with keyboard on table and new mouse any better, or was it just to bring some fresh air and motivation for you?"

hi slasher

"no questions on esreality" right here

damn ... 1.00 - 3.00 CET ... harsh stuff.

... i see my productivity will fail at work tomorrow.

For cooller:

1. Did you have a safe trip home?
2. If you get to the grand final match at the world finals, who would you want to play?
3. Are you planning to prepare for the world finals differently? Do you feel that the long hours that players, such as avek, put into practice really pays off?
4. Do you feel that Cypher losses was him playing badly, or his opponents playing well?
5. How do you feel about the map dismemberment?

he just gave a 3-hour-long interview on cyberfight, u nerds gotta learn russian

3 hour long?

You gotta be a serious Cooller fan to go thru that.

well it's just like a podcast so you can do whatever you want while listening to it, some interesting stuff he said there :P

make subtitles?

yeah, thankfully you posted the link, i've been listening to the whole show - great stuff

"Where is Joe's pen?"

this!

Cooller:
You said in an interview during the event that you hadn't really yet achieved your best aim with the Abyssus. Was that really true and if it was did you feel like you got competely comfortable with the new mouse for the final matches?

prolly said it on the 1st day when due to usb3.0 mobos or smth else resulting in sens feeling higher so that he had to adjust it(prolly noctis or some other iem player posting here can say more about it), NaVi told they had to lower their sens like -0.5 or so for it to be close to what they are used to
but on the 3rd or 2nd day that effect somehow vanished(or he got used to it?) and he started aiming better
as for abyssus he likes it in every way more than wmo and thinks he aims better with it

Cooller now that you finally won your championship in QL how do you think your motivation will be in the future? Will you try even harder to keep a winning streak? Or do you see yourself losing motivation from now on if u get a bad placement in upcoming events?

Would u prefer t9 & Battleforged in the map pool in stead of Hektik & Dismemberment?

to slasher: in your honest opinion when you casting games, your thoughts adds up to the entertainment or rather detremental?

1.) Do you think that strenx might be seen on the top place in future tournaments?
2.) I have seen some nice cars on your blog that wasn't updated for some time, what are you riding now?
3.) What do you think about current map pool? Do you find hektik as decent duel map? Would you be happy to see phrantic or dm1 (gothic rage) in next tournaments? Do you think that converting galang from q4 would be good for competition?

1) yes he thinks strenx could become top1 if he gains some stable self-confidence, which is basically the only thing he lacks. Also admits and respects his progress throughout the last year

it was more like refference to the statement that he made in his interview after 27s match when he claimed that loosing to strenx would be "biggest epic fail in his career"

he ment losing that situation, not the whole match itself

hm, propably you're right :A

some additional questions :
4.) What do you think about current gameplay model in quake live? Do you think that the way that it favors more defensive play and lower-scored games comparing to cpma vq3 is good or not? Would you like to see rockets beeing a bit slowed down to the old-q3 fashion?
5.) http://www.esreality.com/?a=users&user_id=35075 <- is it your real esr account or some1 is faking you?

http://www.esreality.com/?a=users&user_id=27082

afaik thats his real account

"Do you still live at your folks' house?" (boy I sure hope he's not a basement dweller =) )
"Who is YOUR favourite quake player of all times, and who do you fancy in QL?"
"Are you waiting to hit a certain age to stop playing quake, or do you aim to acquire a certain amount of money before quitting?"
"Any hard feelings between you and stermy since DH?"
"Why did you ditch the russian style you were famous for?"

Nothing wrong with living at your folks house.

Ask what he thinks of ql tdm and would he play in the possible tdm tourney at Dreamhack.

ask cooller did he time the terrorist attack in moscow.

time -> dodge

a question for cooller:
why did you sign up with this fake nick?
http://www.esl-world.net/masters/player/3965928/

To Cooller : Did you smoke weed during the event ?

Awesome!

Question: Are you going to quit smoking sh1t before smoking sh1t quits you? After his response recommend him watching the documentary "The Union:The Business Behind Getting High"

Thanks. A conscious fanboy.

"Were you considering stabbing Joe with that pen?"

thanks for spoiling gsl...

dumbledore dies

LMAO I had to laugh :x

was/is the feeling you get by wining a big event like this/looking at your own gaming history/rep worth the effort/time/dedication you spent on it?-> are you satisfied? what are your personal plans?/any other non-pc interests?

cmon intervie cooller faster so i can shut this thing off

Cooller: How does it feels to be the most consistent quake player ever? Collecting 1st's since 2002 :D

OF COURSE <3

BWOOOOOOOOOO

buh my table :D

"punch wall" :D

Seriously those guys are a joke, how old they are?

lol @ 2girls1cooller

2 GIRLS WITH PER-FECT ASSES = money !!!

2 girls 1 cooller

so the whole conversation is about cooller with girls, av3k with razer girl and asses

i like

FU Lo3, provide audio only!!! What for do you have the link up in the site for? buffering non stop here, who cares about video this isnt IEM. Basics first this is supposed to be a RADIO SHOW

:/

Not even a small response on this issue? Funny how wheat bashes esr but fails hardly with the very links on Lo3, you know like the AUDIO ONLY ONE :D

Cooller keeps growing offcourse :)

controlling his emo

It's stupidly, just because of styles.

rapha wins cypher 100% sure

its pretty interesting what anton said.

the style conflicts
cypher > cooller
cooller > avek
avek > cypher
rapha > cypher

is this true 100% of the time ?

cypher > cooller
rapha > cypher
avek=cypher (avek has slightly better ratio)

And most of the time avek > cooller (not this time though)

beat me to it :D

"most of time avek > cooller" what?

didnt cooller beat him twice before and avek also twice? and now with this win cooller takes the lead

oh nvm polish flag explains it

read post below you cunt.

Post below is wrong, and if you count the dreamhack winter 2009 game (cooller was back for like what, a month into quake?) then you're an idiot. So, as you have now edited your post removing the avek > cooller most of the time, I guess I take the crown for this internet argument, cheerio

while i also think there is something to
cypher > cooller
rapha > cypher

but the rest is bullshit, cooller > av3k?

u can add k1llsen < cooller ther ;[

k1llsen has some interesting matchups, he also seems to do considerably better against cypher than he does against others

cooller won twice at the world championship, avek didnt beat him there.

one of the reuslts was mixed up, still stays at 2:4

well yeah, but I kinda don't really count coollers 2 first events, granted he did look pretty damn good at dreamhack winter and even dubai, but he looked so much stronger later on (IEM eu/world 4, and then sucked at ESWC)

Anyway, it's not "complete bullshit" as you said, cooller never said he will win avek always (like cypher said about him), he just said he has a good chance to win with the two style clashes.

hm hm hm hm ,,,,,,,,,,,, hmmmmmmmm

CHEGO? One more time, please.

lol at cooller saying "wat?" to slasher in russian

lol cooller throwing games in 2006 too haha :DDDDDD

:) nothing special, he just told a story at russian stream about noctis asking him to lose their game this IEM since noctis was promised some bonus cash by Reason for beating Cooller x)

hahhaahah^^

So this is that special motivation noctis talked about on stream! Sneaky australian.

bind mwheelup say CHEGO

slasher: "i went to esr and nobody asked good questions"

Didn't you realize this was Slashers' elaborate scheme to back-troll ESR after the love fest he witnessed during IEM? :D

He wasn't trolling but was right. What he still has to realize is that nobody wanted to share their good questions with him.

There were a couple of decent questions in here imo. I still call trolling haha

haha

yeah slasher really knows how to alienate his target audience.

I wonder how long it will take him to realize that between him and the community it is pretty clear who has the bigger stick :P

u been looking at slasher's stick? o_O

do you really want me to post the picture again? ;)

once again f u slasher :C

cooller (about quakecon and america):

i like the tournament, the city, the weather

djWheat:

.. and the girls

cooller (after a short pause)

no way :D

cArn next? cool, more crates |_|

What russian stream/interview did he reference?

And I guess wheat might be casting at least SC2 at the grand finals, he kinda clammed up when Cooller asked.

http://cyberfight.ru/site/news/74309/

CARN >*

wheat sounded like he wanted to get rid of cooller as fast as possible :/

too bad, there should be whole lo3 for cooller, since he wants to talk obviously :)

and czm part was just unbelievably epic :)

you nailed it. cooller minus everybody else would have been great. those fake laughs don't even work as a backdrop.

cooller in the end was like cmon did i stay up to 3night for this?

too short :/

Open phonez? :(

When will people realize that when one's talking with Cooller should he use as simple English as possible? :x

kinda agree, but then his english is getting better aswell so

At a quite slow rate tbh. All these years you'd think he would improve more. Just look at Av3k.

tru.dat
av3k is on a level where he can cast matches already.

it's not the vocabulary he occasionally seems to be struggling with when trying to understand people. rather the speed and sloppy articulation. and everybody who's ever learned another language knows that it's one thing to understand your teacher speaking in class, and a totally different thing when a native speaker comes babbling at you.

totally agree, been learning german for like 6 years in school but when i went to germany after few fails at understanding native germans just switched to english ;)

Yeah. On top of speed and colloquial language there's also all those dialects in Germany, a good deal of which are really hard to understand. In my experience, you learn a language really only when staying in the respective country some time (and do not take the easy way out by resorting to english ;))

vod ?

considering its still running... :p
lo3 vods usually are up soon though

cliffs?

omfg cg_fov "90"

Cooller too? what is up with fov 90 ://///////////

easier hitscan

Easier shooting, and those pro guys already can predict where their opponent will be quite well, so they don't really need big fov to look around.

not 4:3 i guess, makes fov 90 looks ok (like 100 on 4:3)

i saw him playing 4:3 -_- also i know the effect that low fov has but i still cant get used to it :D is there a way to keep the sens you have right now and just recalculate it to a lower fov? I tried it but it still feels weird.

inb4 link to weird math post from czm

no need we have a mouse calculator now :D

fov doesnt effect sens at all, i could tell you how to make it 'proportional' so the xhair 'pixel speed' is the same but that would be totally different sens and feelling will be even worse
if you had really wanted to switch fov you'd have got used to it(and actually saw how inaccurately you aimed with bigger fov)

orly?

seta cg_fov 10
try to make 360°

seta cg_fov 150
try to make 360°

same huh?

Just tried it, seems about the same (maybe 1mm off)

I'm not inaccurate, you are. xD

:P
well every highsenser seems to be unable to play with low fov somewhy, aiming feels more difficult to them when they try it

shit you kinda nailed it :/ got the same problem. rockets are fine but shaft (especially) and rail are meh.

Nope, he does use 4:3.
Don't know how he can play like that though :p

edit: ischju beat me to it : (

rockets and plasma feel better in my opinion at least, also can help with hitscan providing your sensitivity is low enough as the lower your fov is the less smoothness you have with mouse movements so a lower sens is what you would need to mimic the mouse feeling with a higher fov you can check phoon.us/mouse to check the needed DPI and try to mimic it with a lower field of view for a similar feeling

SLASHER LETS PLAY SOME DUELS!

a relaxed cooller is very refreshing. direct. simple. honest. clear.

what i particularly like is that he has fully recovered his ambition. no more compromises or mental preparation for having to settle with a second or third place. aiming straight for the top, and publicly acknowledging it. that's how it's got to be.

been a long road for him though. you can tell that it uplifted his spirit.

iirc he claimed already at gamescom that he's aiming straight to the top1 but he didnt made it, also I think that on other past tournaments he made that statements, but the other thing is to say that on interview, and other to have proper mindset to achieve this, and I think this is the change.

Well, the phrasing usually goes like: of course aiming for first place, but it will be very tough etc. And a couple of days ago he still seemed defiant when claiming that he could beat anybody. But right now, he's saying the same thing with confidence while not playing down the opposition.

With this attitude and when he's in shape, it'll be very hard to beat him I reckon (just think of how beastly his rail is when it's on - the abyssus might help there too - and a free and confident mind is just so much more likely to be creative and "lucky" ).

I wonder what these dudes do with most of their time. I mean they pretty much play hardcore 2-3 weeks before an event, but what about the rest of their time? just mackin hoez? Cooller is 24, what does he want to pursue in the long run?

lying on the beach between two girls.

with perfect asses ;) this is all fine and dandy, but i remember him mentioning that he's helping his pop's with some game years ago. I'd just like to know a little bit more of cooller's personal life/ goals for life, opposed to everything quake with cooller. I get it, he wants to win tournaments, but there is a lot of smarts underneath that skull cap, and I want to know what he wants to push outside of small purse gaming events.

poker..

at least he is making income playing a computer game hardcore like that, and he can use that income to supplement whatever he wants to do after gaming. better than most that play games all the time and definitely don't get income from it.

the thing is, the income isn't that much. thats why im curious as to what these guys are doing for extra cash/ what their plans are for a stabilized career.

http://novosti-n.mk.ua/auto/download/?id=242
he posted it on his blog : http://users.livejournal.com/_cooller/ ,
and seems like he wanted to share that he just bought this in 2k9,
I can presume that he's doing fine, and as long as he does it's enough for me, dont want to stalk his IRL doings, imo he's not like jameiro who thinks that he has still something to proove on esr, because cooller just doesnt give a fuck, and its allright for me.

Pretty shallow that you just care that he plays, his persona is why you even know of his blog or whatever. I think I just miss carmac's in depth interviews is all..carmac do an interview man lol D:

lmao, I really like his personality and general attidute, im just saying that I respect his private life, cause outside of beeing propably biggest baller on quake scene he's a person who wants to have his personal life just like everyone else, besides of all that no-names that want to be internet pimps.
Edit : also Carmac tried to asked him in some "in depth" interview at iem about his life and I had impression, that Cooller gave him clearly to understand that he's not there to confess before x nerds watching the stream.

in cooller's case, i bet gaming has opened more doors than limited him.. he's the exception though, and i'm sure he makes enough to support himself (or has rich parents)

I thought Cooller was studying law along side with Jibo? :-] He plays not that much I guess, only putting much hours into game ~1-2 week before event and still I think he play less than most of the 'amateurs'.

I mean I can assure you that 99% semi/pro-gamers of eastern European have a backup plan for life. Most of them learn or study something for their future (or have plans to study) since it's actually kinda impossible here to make a decent life without education if you don't have any serious connections. I mean look at FX the top CS polish clan - they all study and try to maintain pro at the same time.

I mean it's all of those western europeans+scandinavians who can sacrifice their life for doing literally anything/completely nothing and still have a chance for a decent life. It was always kinda hilarious for me that scandinavians play most of their time and at the same time doing really nothing with their life ;-]

Seems like after high school in western europe you can do shit for so long and still have a decent life afterwards.

simply put: you cant
what you can do on the other hand is to start your study a few years later

Yeah you can wait in Germany and other western countries because higher education actually means something :)

Here most of young (not-dumb) people study right after high-school. They get a master degree in 5 years and still often they can't find a decent, well-paid job. And even if they will, they start from the very bottom of the "structure". Getting promotion is not a normal, natural thing (which I guess it is in western countries) because it's often so hard to climb up even if you're well educated. It's often a long, long process; in most of cases you can't even be promoted. So either you stuck forever and get nowhere with your career or you can search for a new job :o

Master degree actually means shit in most of the cases coz it's standard, it's nothing special now days, it's like having high-school education in western countries ;]. In Poland we have an infinite waterfall of people with m.d, it's a plague (good thing you'd think huh?). Of course I'm generalising the whole thing but I have so many friends with higher education and still they work for pennies, or in a different occupation which has nothing to do with what they graduated, it's laughable. Eh.. it's becoming a wall of text so..

Just one thing. I have a cousin in Germany, he finished high school and meanwhile got a job in Tengelmann as a seller. Now, after some time (2-3 years?) he's becoming a head manager of the whole store - without any connections and without higher education. He was just a good worker and got promoted from time to time. It's so impossible to do such thing in Poland ;]

You people have an easier life out there, just admit it ;-]

So much opportunities and to have a decent, wealthy life you don't even have to study ;] - and if you do, you have almost a guarantee to have a great future.
