Who owned you the hardest?

Is there any video about this technique? Sounds crazy!

my favorite it is getting permanently banned from whole rtcw discord server by crumbs after i used the word "cunt"

Hmm can't remember any specific situation in ET.

But in QL I faced a few people that amazed me with their rockets+movement in close range.
Like Seiya who seems to be able to smell when you are about to shoot a rocket on his feet so he will jump in order to minimize the dmg while also not getting pushed back.
eeeee, mmmu and ROFL were also always nice to play against and to figure out that there are actually people who can beat you consistently in rocket vs rocket if you don't adapt your playstyle.

1v1 mxt0r

playing 6vs5 against dsky with w!ngs(?) (razz, tropic, mindless, etc) and they won without much effort :/

w@co vs reload (shewie, ganon, mika & co) We were at the top of the benelux ladder uncontested, team massacre was good back then but I think we still beat them. Reload joined the benelux ladder and destroyed every single team in such a fashion we stopped playing benelux ladder after that.

Had no clue who the polish 'cheaters' were back then, but we had been warned they were a good team. Even though we took one map, they destroyed us.

As an ETPub mod gamer joining my first 'ETPro' scrims with teams and finding a whole other 'world' of ET with on average way better and more specifically smarter players. Getting 'low/mid tier' ETPro gamers doing things that I had never seen before and basically just not getting to shoot at people because my fat public ass had no idea what was going on or where people where.

I'll post something about 6v6 later
but in 3v3 the one time I felt absolutely helpless was vs rong, sungi, lordi

individually insane play level I'd say kresti
aside from that no matter what I did I could never get edit flag pls phyzic :D

Playing 3on3 against xPERIA, motif and mize

-_-v (aka bui) from warholic :(

3on3 gnajda braundorf :)

tax office irl

everyone above premier division level tbh, we never had the required teamplay

back in 2002 me and my clan use to rank really high on some score saving website, we use to normally have at least 5 of the top 10 each week and top3 most times as well - we thought we were the shit. It was all based off of public server 'scoring'.

We then got challenged to a scrim by some random team that played in TWL and we played them on beach which is where the majority of us played 24/7 and most of the time it was war room camp to save docs to get more points. I made strats for everyone and they were pretty legit... unfortunately they revolved 100% around the war room and not how to actually how to get there in the first place.

We got spawn raped for the entire attack and demolished pretty quick on our own def as well. Unsurprisingly allowing a full team of 6 players into the war room that worked together did not work as well as randoms on publics.

I think I worked out pretty quickly from this game that defending as far forward was one of the best strategies to have, so tried my hand at spawn killing and didn't really look back.

Back in 2005 or 2006 I played a scrim with a mixed team against the Western Europe selection close before the EU Allstar Battle. The guys I played with where pretty decent but we got our ass kicked so hard, it still hurts.
I remember how they fullholded us on Oasis and we couldn't even get the CP ...

can't remember any specific team, as there were a lot of good teams back in the days, so playing vs TLR or similar teams was always pretty hard and almost impossible to achieve something. Most of the players from top tier teams were godlike, but I do remember some individualls who were obviously out of their league when playing in med+ team, like LudA in 3on3 scrims. I was sure this guy was cheating, because he completely destroyed us everytime we decided to play them - I cannot remember the team name (if he played in any tbh?). In 6on6 I would say uNDEAD from Belgian Fraternity team. We pracced a lot with them and he was always destroying everyone.

After I quit ET I came back couple of years later when Quake Champions came out - I played beta a lot and I thought I'm pretty decent due to all these ET years. Then I got myself into duel with Cypher - he totally owned me and it seemed like he wasn't even trying.. ;) I literally stopped playing after this, because the skill gap was so huge :P godlike

Ever had that moment when you thought you're hot shit, and then someone puts you in your place? For me that was sniping on a public in 2007 when someone I had never heard of, nicknamed Finland SERIMESTARI teared me a new rectum on Germany Fueldump and Anonymous Seawall Battery. He fucking sprinted and jumped with scope, using the binocular technique which looked like fucking cheating. No matter where I went he two or three-tapped me with insane speed and accuracy. It's a shame he wasn't interested in clan play.

Met him on a pub early on in my ET life too (2005? 06? sometime early) and had the same experience. Never seen anything like this in my life, he was literally unbelievable. Glad I'm not the only one to have experienced SERIMESTARI!

aphesia

Back in the day i would get rolled in 3o3 by finns, the olbaa club. No matter how hard i tried, rhey would always be one step ahead.
Was so happy when they ragequit after we menaged to fh them on grush

Then ff 10years, we get a random irc funwar, rong connected.
Whenever i faced him in a duel i would slowly loose a part of my soul how badly i got raped. But my excuse to this day is, meh, finnish hitboxes.

So yeah, raped hard by finns and bacardi-team arnold & co

Then ff another 5years... and u got mxtor asking me for 1v1, i remember how i felt when i was connecting to the server "lets go easy on this guy" tell you what, i had my ribs broken twice many other painfull fractures and teeth pain.. never once i shed a tear, i almost cried after he beat me, its not.. cuz he beat me... but the way he beat me...


Ps.. come back to disco

playing vs Lordi, Rong and Sungi

Obviously first time playing ETpro.

Also first time playing a 1v1 at ESL. Thinking you can aim so 1v1 should be easy. Well... never played 1v1 again after that.

mASCULINE_MANS in EC finals. Unstoppable legends

https://www.gamestv.org/event/13121-northern-europe-vs-western-europe/
This team west was actually unstoppable

For the rest the usual suspects, butchji mAus mystic Azatej Mztik teKoa etc. My solution was just play with them instead of against them, worked pretty well for me most of the time...

KRP in OC DIV 1. Unstoppable legends
https://www.gamestv.org/event/34536-keskus-rikos-poliisi-vs-jacks/
Got on my laptop, revived some old players just before this grand event, got to final and KRP had to win twice, but we got owned.

I have some bad memories getting *** ***** just to mention few of them:

SERIMESTARI

God damn.. it's been 15 years and I still remember this guy from pubs, I had already forgotten his name but that's him alright. Never saw him playing anything else but covert ops with a garand. Or maybe with a sten few times(?).

sniper against this vanhis guy was pretty hard

also squalli

bozar

aphesia and freeze.

in 2005 i played 3v3 official against parodia and getting out of spawn was tough, actually impossible if they didn't let us to :(

I remember one fullhold at tank on goldrush vs gifty. he was getting a 5man spree/clutch every few spawns.

I am (was) low+ max, I always got owned :(

Lol it was definitely you :D We had similar techniques but you actually knew how to aim - I could not reach med skill so... Also had a potato PC, nowadays my accuracy is much better - still bad-ish.

Played against Panker too but I didn't find him as amazing as you said he was. But it was later than that time, maybe he had declined in the meantime.

I got owned a lot, most memorably probably by riCo in a 1-day cup. Guy was playing with 400 ping and still fucking me up everytime he lagged into my view.

One match in particular was Clan-SoF vs parodia in clanbase OC. Never got past first stage Oasis. Got owned by "Playboy". No idea who he was at the time :P

Mostly KRP and masculine mans...

In 3v3 i'd say crod. Never won a 1v1 against him I think in any scrims.
In 6v6 i'd say that one time against Team Rockit with sqzz mAus olBaa and all, I remember goldrush being a nightmare we never managed to get past 1st barrier and that was quite mental.
In Jaymod there was a guy called ChosenOne who played on BBA server. He always had a lot of kills each maps and winning a duel against him was near impossible. Good times tho

6vs6 vs masculine mans or in NC vs .fi

Still hurts :(

No idea of the teams name or players but being absolutely destroyed on Oasis.

It was 2006, we were playing really well on all of our Med/Med+ IRC 3v3 games and all of a sudden a Med+ team just came out of nowhere and arranged a game. I believe aiming and movement used to always be my strong points and I’ve never been completely destroyed 1v1, except against this random team. We were playing games with top teams, top players from Sweden etc... but these guys, wherever they were from, humiliated us. I never liked to accuse people of cheating but they just instantly made me believe they were cheating.

Looking back, I think I had just met my match.

I haven’t had that experience since, and I’m glad.

After that day, Oasis was no longer enjoyable, even today.

SinfulSebastian on 2.55 back in I don't know when

I wish I could say it was a fun time but I'd be lying

The most overwhelming feeling of getting crushed must have been playing against loder and sutiii / p3nss3li on a public server. Eventually I got my skill level above theirs and even though I got owned against many other players later on, still playing against these two at public servers gave me the unique feeling of helplessness that I felt deep within.

I don't remember their names anymore, but I do remember that they were french.

French are literally the worst.

The only player that stood taller than the rest was hullu Maza. He probably had raw talent above anyone else and dedication willing to put it work. The aim on that guy was at the highest possible level, i might even puke just thinking about it, you could put him in any spot... even alone, that guy would always deliver. You could trust him to make it work anywhere. Only time he would probably fail was if his teammate is thinking he is in too much trouble and would change his position to help him. And even then it wasn't his fault. The player that came to help him was prolly more the issue than him, even if the enemy got through there. He could have made it work for him and for the team. Just for the sake of the obj and the clock, someway somehow... Trust the talent. :)

It's surely a rare thing to find a player good as him. He could do everything you could, only a little better, even the little things like pushing someone down the stairs at key moment not to get the flag. He was everyway a perfect player, but it don't always come down to a raw talent, so it is also about the time you are willing to put it into practice.
Every level in game takes dedication to get there, but you also gotta know what you doing, or else you will not get there.
