depends on where you make the cutoff I would say that ah and naymlis don't play religious enough to be at the top of their game.

I beg to differ with your opinion, in terms of context. Naym actually played very conservatively, running a familiar pattern given pb's defensive style. Dealing with each adjective separately:sloppiest: Naym molded his rdm2 (and much of his q2 dueling) style on Scandie players who traditionally dominate this map. His jumps are crisp, his movement efficient. In fact in this demo, he displays a professional textbook offense[used correctly here since he's previously played Quake for money]on this map. Which leads into the next rebuttal...spammiest: Chastity comprises two large areas, cornered by YAs. When controlling the map you necessarily spam the YAs from the near-mega position with rox and intermittent slugs -- again, a textbook offensive style when controlling. In fact, I would say Naym fired no more rox than any first-tier regular euro/scandie rdm2 dueler. I've repeated this truism before in other demo threads(and very much on display in this pov):"Your primary goal in a duel is to whore and gather armors, health, weaps and ammo in exactly that order of priority. If your opponent gets in the way of that objective AND you're prepared to frag 'em -- then go for the point; the 'win' will take care of itself."p.s. Orudie for taking the time&effort getting q2 out to the broader entertain'osphere -- reTRO gamAHZ!
-- but you would have to admit there is far too much spamming at openings and lazy play[/size]( not cat and mouse just plain non aggressive) and for players of this calibur there should be at least something extraordinary[/size] . maybe I am just spoiled by Damiah's unmatched skill on this map
doesn't say much for NA does it
