hey when u going sweden?

i work 40+ hours a week and i'm not sponsored.

well now hes jumped another level in skill am sure u will too, and get sponsored if u do well at next event/

do u want sponsored? would it be enuff to live the way u are atm, with a 40+ hour job?

So you think Socrates has jumped another level because he beat an unprepared Cooller?

Socrates is a great player, but I don't think anyone with half a brain really thinks it was the real cooller at this event.
I don't know why cuz I thought cooller was a fulltime quaker, but somethign was up.

i think he jumped up a level because he went to swe trained his ass of then beat cooller.

didnt say he is now better then him, but i think its clear for everyone hes better now then he was...

cooller is better then him, if he would train.

Ahh who did he train with. He might well have jumped a level.
Seems like Socrates is very serious about q4.

alot of dudes on this site :)

he seems very serious which is great, with that talent its n1 to see it hit its potential.

Actually I agree with you after wathcing the demo now. He played a really smart game. Almost flawless.
And he's done something with his shaft cuz he's got swede aim now:)

What was cooller spamming in Russian?

Maybe he just shocked

well he said last time he played was that .ru tourny ages ago:/

the spam was on cb match report vs winz check it out there, sumin bout candy sum1 said.


nd yeah b4 the match on irc the swes said his shaft was sick...

I'm no expert at russian but here's my attempt at translation:

'Sveta (is a girl's name - short for Svetlana) you are where my sweets are'

EDIT: I saw another translation on this site and mine was apparently broken. I guess this is the correct one:

'Sveta where are you, my candy?'

How romantic!

sveta sveta blah blah blah moya konfeta

1) it rhymes
2) it is quite innocent

kind of like
nancy nancy you're so fancy

Fancy nancy you make me poop my pantsy


It means, like someone said, "Sveta sveta (a girl who Cooller trained), where are you my honey/candy/sweet?"

Thats what it means literally. But I am giving you a translation of meaning. Its not about sveta being a candy, its more about the rhyme of the bind. But whatever

Do you think cooller is the type of guy that would ever admit to
practicing if there was any chance he wouldn't come out on top?

A legende is back ... at work.

0 $ lol

bout time

I'm glad to see him finally put it together. wtg

Soc did a great job on blip. I figured Socrates would win fleet though. I only wish they had played better maps -_-

real maturity on cooller's part :rolleyes it was definitely a good time to bring him down a notch, gj by socrates

in every one of these stupid demos, the "hyper blaster" elicits rocket explosions.
it fills up my screen with bullshit. it makes very loud, repetitive sounds. it drops my FPS to about 30 for five seconds.
all in all, it is very tedious and annoying.

I actually had the LG acting like a machine gun (except it'd still be the lightning effect but on and off very fast like a machine gun) on the Fleet demo.

for the 1000000th time, demo_enforceFS 1 before you play the demo. that will get rid of the rocket plasma bug

no.

socrates still isn't in his form yet

That would've been $$$ if soc would've said that at the end of Fleet.

definitely. should of went like this

cooller: "do u want more kills?"
socrates: "sure, because i'm not in my form yet"

That wouldn't have been funny at all though....

who said it was supposed to be funny?

Then why bother making a comment which isn't even gloating or whining?

It would have been 100% pointless for him to say such a thing so the only reason for him to say it would be as a joke.

Thank you for your psycho-analysis, Dr. Phil.

I see your outstanding work includes, and extends to, the mentality of videogamers. Please keep us updated with your thoughts because we all honestly do give a fu.ck!

wow. prime example of taking posts too seriously

glm- lmao

wow, looks like u hit the nail on the head, and there for raged them. n1

payback for eswc 2005

It's not payback though.....

no, it's payback

rofl

well its not.

you're obviously ignorant of the inside joke

cooller beat an american really badly on pdm6 (i forget who it was, but thats not important. edit: he was a top tier player thats for sure)

the american goes "wp" "very well played"

cooller goes "no no" "i am not in my form yet"

(not verbatim but you get the point)

Er I do know that it still dosn't make him saying that funny.

No mind is thoroughly well organized that is deficient in a sense of humor."
-- Samuel Taylor Coleridge

That's nice but that still dosn't make that comment funny.

No. It makes you funny.

You are obviously ignorant of the 'inside joke'...

?

I thought it was amusing that you didn\'t know who that toptier player was: socrates :P I think that in this case it is important.

Someone uploaded that pdm6 game on esr recently: http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1038308

That sure adds spice to the cake :)

Or would have, had socrates been as taunting and childish as cooller was.

All the Americans chime in here. :D lol

But really, excellent job soc. :)

this is a question not a request:

Would it maybe possible to get that in avi *cringing*

yeah i request it too

yeah, that'd be nice since the 1.1 patch

lmao @ euros

:p

socrates is all bout the feeling, so nice to watch!

Finally. Haven't watched since my computer isn't really letting me do anything for more than a couple of minutes before rebooting (depending on what I'm doing), but I'm happy some one brought Quake's own mr. Pacman down.

almost sad to see the king go down SO hard even though it was kinda apparent after the initial matches that socrates was in far better shape...

will be interesting to see if cooller will be able to redeem himself after being skooled like this...

Yeah, he was controlled like a girl !

amazing

cooller needs to practice unless he really doesnt care about q4.. he played so badly. i was expecting him to do good..

gg to socrates tho.

well played Jason =)

if you're getting stuttering playback with delayed rails + weird lg flashing, type /net_clientmaxprediction 50

wp by soc, very sad of cooller to spam that bind so much.. weak

That quote is even more annoying if you now what it means :p

What does it mean?

ahh thats the command I was looking for, thanks!

fleet + blip =(

could it be worser?

fleet + edge :))

oh, the horror!

no

Although usually being a Cooller fanboy I must admit that I kind of anticipated and now acknowledge socrates effort. You can't fight the world's best duelers without proper practice.
On the other side, Cooller had to prove he is as human as everyone else is...

Since so many ppl thought he was a atomar space android from planet uranus? =}

well yea.. didnt you see that cooller thread? :>

What i really wanna know is, he was trainin with Fooki & co, how well did he do vs them??? I dont expect much of a response, coz that would give to much away, huh...

"Cooller had to prove he is as human as everyone else is..."

I think it was socrates that proved it.

I won't go into details, but the few practice games between fooki and socrates that I happened to observe were _VERY_ close. I played socrates too and his shaft was just unbelieavable (even with ping 25). I did better than cooller though. On galang we were actually pretty even.

I must confess, though, I am very dissapointed with cooller's performance. Not to mention his behaviour. Very embarrassing. We need players like fooki to represent Europe :/

ah ok ty, yes cooller was dissapointing, but the guy is a bit of a loose cannon, so it becomes v difficult to predict what hes up to, or how much he trains, some one commented on an older cooller demo saying he look sloppy, i think this match shows its gotten worse. Would be nice to see more of Fooki, he seems to have adapted well to Q4 and seems to just get better (poss at the expense of a few broken mice "tilt" ; ) Also how much experiace has Winz got on lan?

Yea, Cooller's a whining bitch. Now he's not even amongst the cream of the crop.

Explain please

Yea, coz placing 2nd in a worldwide competition makes him total n00b.

indeed zeicon =)

FOOKI \o/

"Even with 25 ping"
Since I haven't been able to play a single game on lan and not know how lg works at it, that comments worries me alot :(

"I think it was socrates that proved it."

Indeed.

yayablabla same story last year. eswc and cplsummer here we come.

hahaha that was a good one.

No it wasn't

Cooller's arrogance and self confidence ate him alive. He realised in the first minutes of the final match that socrates is very well prepared for this tournament, much more better than he is. So he just stopped playing seriously. And everybody knows that he could have played much much better, even though he would probably not defeat socrates, because he was too damn good at these days for him. Qler act very foolish by typing "kill" in the console in game which was supposed to be be one of the greates games in the year 2006.

Its just a guess, but there´s still some cash to earn with that game, isnt it? So I wouldnt show my best as well if I know there´s nothing to win for me.

Why not? Hiding skill for what, or from what? :) I just don't understand your point.

After all he was playing one of the best players out there and he should show the best of himself too, to prove that he's truly the best of the best and no. 1 in world. And as you already know, the games weren't even close, socrates just owned totally. Cooller acted like noob imo, not because of lost, but because the way he has done it.

SVETA SVETA TI GDE MOYA KONFETA

what does that mean

"Sveta, Sveta (name of russian female gamer), where are you my candy? " or so

ah, thx.. was wondering all match.

So cooller meets up with this Russian girl to train her for an event. Cooller falls in love. Blinded by love, Cooller completely loses focus on his Quake 4 practice.

A reasonable theory imo... when you start spamming some girl's stupid name in an important tournament like that, you've been owned by
http://images.google.dk/images?q=tbn:jLYKqMwl...amor_1.GIF

btw this is the famous Sveta :)
http://cyberfight.ru/offline/gallery/737/22668/

ahh, now I understand.. that explains a lot :)

holy shit ... she is hot ! :)

ah it IS her then... I remembered those pictures and thought it might be her. Yea, she is not too shabby imo... she could do something with her hair tho... and maybe not wear that horrible orange sweater. But yea, pretty face, those hypnotic eyes probably owned cooller. Oh well...

Yeah man, it would be great if she was completely superficial!$!$twentytwo

I DIDNT EVEN MENTION MAKEUP DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post a pic of your pretty face, and lets see how much make you need ; )

so i guess
http://cooller351.land.ru/mysweet.jpg
is out of the picture

we're keeping track of coollers hos now?

I Watch the demo so laggy, can anybody put some console commands to watch this demos good?

demo_enforceFS 1
net_clientMaxPrediction 50

That command affects the game when not playing a demo?

net_clientMaxPrediction does yea, afaik...

Yeah you must read his (Cooller) personal journal.
Here is a snippet:
"na samom dele podhod k turniru bil so stilem "voobshe pohuy" "
Translate:
I went to this tourney with only one point: IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYTHING TO ME (rus meaning is much more better).

He only went to this tourney for fans. And anyway ... I still love Cooller :>

link to journal?

sounds like poor excuses though :>

Everyone in their right mind knows cooller is a better player than socrates mate. Cooller is best in eu by far, only time an american gonna win one of the BIG events is when people like czm and fatal1ty enter them.

fooki is the best euro player atm imo

fooKi is the greatest! he makes chuck norris looks like pay - very bad!

Oh dear, a little to much brown nosing

hahahahahaa <3

Too bad you are not in the "right mind" yourself

http://www.livejournal.com/users/_cooller/

ty

please translate the entire news post:

na samom dele podhod k turniru bil so stilem "voobshe pohuy"
ya priehal prosto poigrat po fanu..
dage viygral u winza, eto ulibnulo. no socrat est socrat, po4ti mesac v swecii pered finalami.
Dla mena etot turnir - prosto poezdka - trip, ne bolee.
Esli kto to nadeyalsa na mena - sorry.
A tak obshee nastroenie govno - ukrali mobile phone v sheremtjevo-2 :(

= ???????

Probably something like "i didnt practice for this event, I wasnt even trying, , I dont care that I lost, etc"

Sore loser talk, basically.

probably...

in last sentence he says someone stolen his mobile phone, if i translate it correctly :)

hah, it was probably socrates... DOUBLE PWNED!

in fact my aproach to this tourney was "care"
i went there just to play for fun
even won winz, made me smile. but socrates is socrates, almost month in sweden before finals.
For me this tourney - just a trip, not more
If someone put big hopes on me - sorry
Overall my mood is shit - got mobile phone stolen in shremetjevo 2 (airport) :(

thanks :)

I expected it to be worse...

not bad. except the first line is more like:

in fact my approach to thie tourney was in the style "dont give a fuck"

COOLLER OWES ME e$5,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Want to see the real Cooller versus Socrates, playing his best ? :

http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1038308

But Q4 is not Q3, Q4 is not interesting for Cooller.

determination > skill here.

The king has been dethroned. Get over it. Cooller is so yesterday.

It's so funny how cooller always say "I am not in form, I haven't practised". Was like that at ESWC, I haven't practised, czm will beat me then he wins and every fanboy goes "COOLLER IS GOD HE NO PRACTIZ END WIN HE GUDDEST PLAYRE IN THE WURLD!"

I dont say he practise 24/7 but I doubt he play as little as he claims he is.

Of course not. The whole "I dont even practice" routine is something he says so that if he loses he can say 'well, I didnt practice or try, so its no big deal' And if he wins he can say 'Haha I'm so good I won the competition without any preparation.' Its a win-win statement for a guy with a shitty attitude.

exactly, it's all mind games, I was going to describe that to jubei but stopped typing.

What's most annoying is, people thinking if you aint cooller, or fatality then you aint got a chance to beat cooller or fatality.

ye I was going to write that as well but it totally slipped my mind

Pffft, you think he is lying? He can't tell the truth without beeing flamed? How do you know it's not true?

How do you know it is?

The thing is, whether or not its true is irrelevant, since he controls how much or little he prepares. If he chooses not to work hard, its his own fault, and that decision should not be used as a crutch or excuse as to why he lost.

Excuses are lame.

So he can't not practise and tell people that is the reason he lost?

What's he supposed to say? Lie and say that he practised, or maybe ignore the question?

Is he supposed to lie? No.. But he is supposed to act like a professional (which he is) and take his lumps like a man.

I think the overall attitude of Cooller is what really puts me off, and makes me feel like he is full of shit when he makes statements like this. Just look at his history of trash talking and general bad attitude. He has certainly played the "I didnt bother practicing" card before. This guy has so little credibility in my eyes its not even funny.

Whats even more lame is if he IS telling the truth. He isnt just representing himself, he is representing his sponsors, team, and country. And if he didnt give enough of a fuck about the ppl who pay his bills, his teammates, or his country to prepare, thats 50x as fucking lame as just losing like a man, saying GG and moving on.

"The thing is, whether or not its true is irrelevant"

"This guy has so little credibility in my eyes its not even funny."

Anyways..

"Is he supposed to lie? No.. But he is supposed to act like a professional (which he is) and take his lumps like a man."

So how does he do this?

"Did you practise for this event cooller?"
"It does not matter, i take it like a man no matter what."

I'm very teoretical in this discussion; just wondering about how people in some cases might see arrogance where carelessness or honesty is displayed. There is always a fine line.. between the line ;)

just wondering about how people in some cases might see arrogance where carelessness or honesty is displayed. There is always a fine line.. between the line ;)

Indeed. However, based on the attitude Cooller has displayed in the past, I tend not to give him the benefit of the doubt in this case.

If he was the type of person who had always been a classy player, treated others with respect, and had a great attitude, I might be less skeptical about that statement. But then again, if he was that kind of a player, he wouldnt have made that statement in the first place :)

Again, my issue is not whether or not the statement is true, I just object to it being used as an excuse. Its an attempt to take something away from the guy who actually won, and thats poor sportsmanship, imo.

Well he said that he hadn't practiced way before the event even started (In interviews) let alone after the winz match/before socrates_ match. The event started with everyone "knowing" that he had "not practiced".

You say that cooller is a professional? Perhaps he doesn't see it that way, I certainly don't.

The guy is studying law if I'm not mistaken and frankly when you weight up law as a career and playing computer games, anyone with half a brain is going to determine that law is the way to go.

There is a alot of Hollywood hogwash style bullshit about esports. Yes, it is a great avenue for alot of people (unless you live in a country outside the us or eu). Yes it appears to be a whole lot of fun, I mean hey partying and playing computer games, come on! But when you compare it to say, anything else out there it has little to no security, such as a real career can offer you.

I have a rather cynic view regarding esports. It's still just guys playing video games and no matter how much groups such as GGL play it up with player biography's and what not (haha, sorry. I'm taking the piss out of immortal again!) He is at the end of the day just another guy playing a computer game, just like me or you - he is NOT, a pro athlete. As I said, theres alot of bullshit out there regarding what exactly esports is, as far as I'm concerned it's just a glorified hobby.

Cooller is not a pro athlete so he can say whatever the hell he wants regarding gaming, because THAT'S ALL IT IS - A GAME. Which just so happens to have money (big money) on the line, and money does not = respect, professionalism and nor does it make something any better than it is.

If this were the olympics I'd probably agree with you, he should represent his country well and what not. But over a computer game? Hah, gosh get over it.

Well to me actually money does equals professionalism, if enough atleast. And perhaps not to me or you, but in general either we want it or not, I guess it equals respect aswell. Don't want to argue either, just share that opinion :)

Well, the definition of a professional means that they do something for a living (IE, as a profession). Therefore there can be, and are, many pro gamers. Just look at Korean SC players. Whether or not Cooller fits the bill can certainly be questioned, as the definition of 'pro' is pretty fuzzy atm. And as you said, it isnt exactly a steady carreer choice. But saying that there is no such thing as a pro gamer is innacurate imo.

Well, you must be somewhat of a fool to not practice for a match if you're contracted by a clan with fat sponsors, you're ofcourse not flying over the world to lose and ofcourse you wouldn't practice if you'd know you could win twice as much. That and I've heard from one person already that he'd been practicing with cooller, and that he actually does practice.

Socrates > Cooller unless Cooller will show otherwise, just cut the fucking "talent" thingy.

I don't think he cares too much..

If he is lying and does practise contrary to what he says, then that is another discussion..

You might have a point, but cooller just about beat winz and got thrashed by Socrates.
Either everyone has improved since winter CPL and he hasn't or something is wrong.

Either way Cooller should just cut the "didn't train" routine, it's uninspiring.

I hope he doesn't, i don't want no politically correct gamerz :(

i heard from forever that he beat cooller the night before he left for the tansatlantic :>

but then again foreverr > * :)

http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=943312#pid943312
:)
There are people who abuse these excuses but are painfully obious. At the end though, if you don't practise enough to win then yeah, you're not as good. So basically it's not an excuse but an explanation, twisted to blur the end result.

you could tell during his Q3 reign he was a practice machine, just by the way he played. He may has played less coming to the end, but he certainly played a fair bit.

fooKi is Chuck Norris of Quake 4 period.

Chuck norris is nothink compared to fooki! period.

dj wheat isnt either

round house kick is nothink on lan

I don\'t mean to be a dick, but the Chuck Norris thing..it\'s just not even remotely funny anymore. It was for maybe a day or two in early January, but then e-dorks killed it. ROUNDHOUSE LOFLR.

Ok, that\'s all..

so cooller loses one match in a 4 man tourney, that hes been paid travel etc to go to america for a few days, and now everyone says hes shit? and what would he win for beating socrates? nothing... hes shown in the past how he can beat anyone when theres something at the end for him. he still got a holiday out of it.

i await the first proper q4 tourney after this when cooller dominates all, including socrates.

and what would he win for beating socrates?

3750$

er no

that prize money was for ggl, where soc beat chao

Jason Sylka ( Socrates ) 7.500$
Anton Singov ( Cooller ) 3.750$
Jared Cugno ( Cha0ticz ) 2.250$
Michael Bignet ( winz ) 1.500$

not very big przies really...

qlr wants more

please just stop replying i´m getting embarrased on your behalf.

someone needs to find something better to do

OWNED

yeah who would want 7500$
Totally not worth to play a few few extra games

Bigger prizes than WSVG Dreamhack/Bumfuck Kentucky stop.

Those are big prizes in 2006. THIS AINT NOT 2005 CPL WORLD TOUR M8! ESPORTS IS DEAD! GRAB WHAT U CAN GET WHILE ITS STILL HOT!

/end retarded rant
sry :[.

Then perhaps he is spending his time doing something more worthwhile like his law course...

you're either rich or retarded

or you don't understand the beuatiful chav that is skint

It was 1.337$ exactly for Michael Bignet ( winz )

Anton "cooller" maybe got something else to do like work, real life & of course his new ladie.

That explains it. I guess when you're sponsored and have a contract you just don't have time to be a pro gamer.

lool

go to south korea. wait! you dont know where it is! hahaahhahahaha

ps! world is flat, bitch!

uh

i doubt anyone will truly play at their full potential with the world tour not existing anymore..but theres pride, so yeah.

its a shame that cooller and polos spent the last month with their new 'ladies' - they both bought mitsubishi eclipses and it became their new addiction. Anyhow, by loosing cooller hasnt lost anything xcept pride. And he understands that. In his own words: "anyone who knows anything will disregard this 4-player 'tournament', however, the newbs will go wild. oh well, cpl is not that far away"

And moscow girls make me sing and shout, and Georgia's always on my mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-miiiiiiiid!

but seriously that's a retarded excuse. playing Q4 is basically his job and he had plenty of time to practice while having as many girlfirends as he wanted.

i don't know about you guys, but i'd rather spend my days driving an incredibly awesome piece of machinery like a mitsubishi eclipse than raking in the dough playing video games. especially if i could lay back and make excuses about not practicing for events.

eclipseFTL

¦]

ah, all that fame... it just bores me...


- unknown quake superstar

You don't get it, what this does is make CPL Summer interesting :) Nothing more nothing less. That same "i didn't care/practice" excuse won't fly when they meet at cpl summer, and cooller knows it. I really hope they meet in a match, i can't wait or the demos already.

Is fatal1ty ever going to play Q4? I haven't seen him yet. Is he even going to CPL?

i didnt too

Everytime fat plays an important game he has everyone watching and judging him.
As a result, you won't see him until there is a big tourney and he knows he's ready.

so cooller lost .. big deal... in the next tourney expect a very strong comeback from him.. he's a champion, they do come back strong.

please stfu about cooller,

Very well played socrates !

fat will not play q4 mark my words

someone make an avi! :)

e: :O someone did

what really shocked was the terrible movement on blip :)

http://www.mitsubishicars.com/eclipse/

Cooller has a damn cool car.

mitsu hasnt made anything good since the 3000gt, bitches

yeah cooller is dead >:D

son! what about the lancer evo series?

well yeah i guess i'll revise my statement to: mitsu hasnt made any good sportscar since the 3000gt, putas

A friend has a heavily modified Mitsubishi FTO which he imported from Japan. I think it's a super car and great performance and very stylish in black for an old car, which doesn't rust and has more gadgets than the star trek enterprise!. The crazy thing is that importing the car (which is left hand drive too), cost very little and wipes the floor with any car on the road he has put it up against, unless your talking about a ferrari 355!!, but that would only just about pip it to the post :D

Let's hope cooler keeps his eyes on the road while driving the car, and not looking elsewhere at his lady ;)

please get information on importing the fto. i am fascinated with the advanced technologies and am planning on importing one within the next few months. i do need to know how to go about importing it.

email me at [email protected] .... thank you

do these demos run choppy to anyone?

can't even run them anymore thanks to new patch update =(
