Elysium vs FlarEZ 1 v 1

[DaHanG]

Neither player can fairly be called a "newb."

What happens when you pit a FFA Grandmaster vs a DM Grandmaster? LOL Here's the answer.

Excuse me, but shouldn't we be more focused on the primary issue? Sure we have reached agreement but there's much more to do.

he's definitely not taking that loss to krez well. he hasn't posted in days (new record).

Agreed, but it will take a good 5 months for his average posts per day to move more than a few decimal points.

well if you take just NA, or mexico whatever. i don't think there's any players better than flarez
dahang -
you took six months to learn how to play the game strategically well
so your can win the most right now
flarez just messes around, and is infinitley more fun to watch
so to me flarez is the better player, as he could probably practice for a couple weeks, and possible beat you on three maps, as well as having some style that is entertaining

i've also played against no other player than can be so hard to play against.
if flarez rushes you and guesses good, there's no way you will win

and esylium is a very good player, but obviously flarez is better
i posted a demo where i beat flarez, obviously he's better than me

flarez is also one of the only players i've seen beat good european players fairly consistantley
look at his match vs purri, he lost in ot

[reaper]

my point being -
it isn't that much of a joke to call him a grandmaster
and christ it's just a game, a frickin video game, and eyslium is pretty darn good at ffa

[haunted]

reaper, whether flarez is joking around or not I used to beat him every single time on 220 ping with relatively non-defensive play. Just because he jumps around aimlessly and has good aim does not make him the best in NA. When flarez tries in 4v4 on a select few maps he is a beast. I will go no further than that, dahang is by far > than flarez gg.

i think reaper might have had one good point there, but i forget it. probly cuase i took too many klonopins. flarez could not beat dahang any time soon on rage/chas, thats for sure.. others idk wtf i'm 

[reaper]

i was trying to mention, that dahang took the game real seriously over the last year, or however long.  that's gonna make him a lot better a duels at the moment

[paradisel0st]

DaHanG is simply a much smarter player. That's about all there is too it. I honestly don't think it would matter if Flarez took things more seriously, as I still believe DaHanG to be the smarter player regardless. The only thing that makes Flarez a challenge is his movement and the fact that he's hard to predict at times. For players that are aware of his style though he isnt much of an issue. Also, DaHanG focused much more on Quake 4 than he did Quake 2 this past year.

[reaper]

god damnit!
hehe
nothing against dahang, but he's not super exciting to watch
and as for my opinion, i stick with it!

For starters I used the term "Grandmaster" in reference to Ely and FlarEZ with more than a little lightheartedness. Certainly you can't talk of top 10 or  20 FFA and DM players in NA without those two names being included. Nevertheless I used the title for fun.

Secondly, I made this demo one day when FlarEZ couldn't find anyone to 1 v 1 with and he was tired of pounding me 70 - 0. (The other players in the server at the time didn't want to play him)  At the time I hadn't been playing Q2 very long (maybe a month or two at most) and was curious to know how a strong FFA player would fare against a strong DM dueler. So fortunately I found Ely playing elsewhere and asked him to come play FlarEZ. He was nice enough to accomodate my request. *Thanks again Ely*

Anyways, it was all just to satisfy my curiousity and I thought some others might find it interesting as well. That's all.   

Thanks for all your responses.
