24 is a bit whack, other two games are solid

I heard the 3a game is tiptop.

Game of the tournament tbh ;D

Demopack coming tonight/tomo ;)

oki

MMM yummy.

Just FYI, order was 15, 24 and 3a.

When are you going to do commentary on these?

Probably never? lol

That's lazyery.

Not really, I just don't see the demand :)

If this will satisfy, a few things going through my mind before/during the game:

- Hal is a high damage output player. He plays a game where he gets into position just to deal damage. Players make plenty of mistakes against him when they try to directly engage him.
- Hal is a very emotional player and he had just rage quit against gaiia on both maps they played. Hal's game changes drastically when his emotions aren't in check.
- Hal really gets uncomfortable when a game isn't flowing the way he wants it. He likes being able to calmly make flicks and 'pretty' shots to keep up this flow.
- I felt confident in my ability to exploit his current emotional state and on my ability to force him to slow down his game outside of his flow on 3 of the 5 maps (22 and 24 being the exceptions)
- Knowing my deficiencies against Hal (that being the likelihood he would be able to do a lot more damage and that he basically goes up 1-0 from the beginning because of his choice of 22 or 24 for his pick) allowed me to understand expectations early on, keeping my emotions and nerves where they needed to be.

I could hit on a few more points I believe changed the outcome of the game, but this is generally what was going on in my head prior/during the game.

To answer the statement on Hal retiring below, he told me after the game that he was pretty much done with cpm (somewhat verified by his twitch channel being removed). It would be pretty stupid of him to quit in my opinion, because we all have terrible experiences in tournaments. My only suggestion to him is to boss up, don't quit because you lost a tournament or how you lost a tournament, and evaluate your mistakes. Work on it and come back a better player, because there is always room for improvement.

I also 'retired' HAL after knocking him out of the Winter Depression cup earlier this year. Msg'd me on irc that i made him quit cpm. He was playing again after a few weeks, nothing to worry about really :p HAL is an amazing player but he can't seem to control his emotions on big tournies, especially vs defensive/brainy players.

2nd what gelleh said

Youtube plz

hal can lose?

i which i could still [-]

youtoob dat shit!

So gellehsak retired HAL9000?

Nah, but Gaia made him ragequit after 3.5 min on 22 which was amusing.

those demos would also be nice :>

I didn't ragequit. I gged wped and left politely.

Gellehsak too good =]

Don't quit, even when you loose you're still the best to spec <3

Where you at? Still going strong in CPM here :(

the 3a game in this is baller. after a mutual frag Hal gets red and weapons and gellehsak has almost nothing, looks like a sure win for Hal, but then magic happens.

lowered the crosshair size and tweaked the bloom a little bit, so its not that agressive now. dez told me to change the white shaft back to stock, i will check on it. changed the armor skin saturation, red and yellow looks more or less the same, but the green armor looks better.

you da bomb, bra

Sick shaders pack.

Hal = known hacker in QL and over CA bully wannabe

Lol?
