DaHanG vs Cypher - QuakeCon 2014 (GRAND FINAL)

[@Alby911]

The best of the best. No other FPS can compare when it comes to the skill set required to master the quake games.

[@notaras1985]

ut biatch

[@Tuxcz]

Forgetting about Call of duty, lol

[@ElGentoo]

True, neither UT, neither CoD can compete with that level of skill. It's jsut amazing. Best duel FPS game ever.

[@Tuxcz]

Maxime Gilles I played both, Quake and UT and I think UT requires more skill, it's bit slower than Quake but more dynamic because of dodges(HLDM is another good example of skillful game). Hitting headshot in UT was a lot harder for me than rails in Quake. But that's the game mechanics which you can see on public. I've never played Quake or UT professionally so I can't tell which game is more skillful, because it's not only about aim. But I still agree with you on one thing, also for me, Quake is no.1 duel FPS game.

[@THETOASTYTOASTEROMEGA]

Tuxcz lol call of duty is a disgrace to fps games everywhere now

[@HelderP1337]

16:00 holy shit, dodging a rocket by crouching, this man has incredible reaction skills.

[@Alby911]

16:01 - Cypher ducks a rocket. Ridiculous, really.

[@Ghork1]

that crouch, wtf

[@Falcrist]

Ghork1 NERF CROUCH! XD

[@arekhee]

wow, godlike. cypher is a beast, if not raging

[@pamanes7]

WTF!

[@P1kaChuuuuuuu]

Yeah, that gameplay was totally sick, firs time I see something like it in quake history

[@MoahGentle]

15:55 & 16:01 He ducked under 2 rockets within just a couple of seconds. Impressive.

[@attractivegd9531]

Thanks for the highlights.

[@Oblico1Morale]

These games should be recorded at like 4k60fps. You know, for the history records!

[@MsHoaxx]

***** let me know if you know some sources, I would love to create site with all available vids

[@tobyzxcd]

+Александр Ложкин how is it with it if the games only like 480p lel

[@MajkaSrajka]

+Александр Ложкин Dont they have in-game replays quite often? Mby even ddk/Zoot can have some of them privately - or know more about the subject. You could even cut the voice from the casters and combine it from video from replays to have both casting and basically any quality you want.

[@attractivegd9531]

4K (but not 60fps) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3_VYZicgZyKsJo

[@konstantinsokolov4072]

Although all the series were brilliant, but that dodge at 16:00 is unbelievable.

[@chewie481]

> 30-minute video, ok it's gonna be 3-0 > 1:15 Aerowalk is the first map > gg cypher

[@Wuselol]

Cyphers just on another level...

[@Zombjkee]

As belarusian Im proud as fuck for him. I was amazed with his rails. Great games.

[@Phezt09]

Im not a belarussian, but im happy for Cypher like i won quakecon :D

[@truckcompany]

They keep missing the first few seconds of the game. Those are one of the most important moments of the game! :(

[@guggenheim5364]

A top class tournament with almost all the top players and Cypher sweeps 3-0 in the grand final? Now that's a sign of a legend.

[@i_am_ergo]

The c-u-next-tuesdays chanting 'USA! USA!' kind of make it difficult to root for the birthday guy. Still, DaHanG is my favorite American quaker. Good games by both. 22/29 rails is out of this world.

[@ud2hb4]

It was funny that they couldnt find Cypher first, when he arrived he looked like when some1 woke him up shortly before. The Finals? On my way..Where is the damn comp?

[@cricio93]

dahang full stacks gettin pwnd 21:58

[@Achmeron]

As esports are getting more and more popular, old school shooters have a chance to do a comeback :D Fast paced, quick reaction games are the ones more challenging and entertaining to watch specially when played by experienced people Please Unreal Tournament 4/Quake Live, BE THOSE GAMES

[@CubeHsiao]

MM that may be a good idea! :DDD from hypercube2 which is my id of the quakelive :DDD

[@TocsiCS]

***** true, go sucks

[@Smittz]

you just don't want to move on and let go of your shitty old games. grow up.

[@CubeHsiao]

............that's really an old comments since I have quit the game lol

[@CubeHsiao]

don't follow the comment chain anymore!!!! I will not leave any commetnt on it and I won't also see your comment on me from this chain!!!!!

[@uhmasonni]

Was nice to see how fast Cypher found his game shape when looking back earlier 125 FPS and FACEIT vods. Beast.

[@beckdee2023]

Такое ощущение что сайфер каждый бой поддавался в начале : )

[@pdevine999]

This was Quake at its best ! along with a few other rapha vids , but it really doesn't get better than this. hand eye coordination, skill, strategy the lot!

[@GoodMan3d]

Congrats to Cypher - from Belarus!!! Alexey - always great to watch ur games.. This was best aimed lan-final of Q3 QL I`ve ever seen! k29 rulled ))

[@bobenchorben]

Wow what a game on aero. Simply amazing.

[@klaurent02]

75% rail in a grand finals match... godlike

[@stalkerchen]

klaurent02 dahang was totally destroyed

[@LAZLOWEYO]

29:25 - 75% rail and never missing a shot in a same breath

[@Tipzyyy]

u rush too much =)

[@davideandroid1254]

I have a lot of respect for DaHang, and I know that Cypher was unplayable in this series and was really hitting EVERYTHING, but seriously there were a lot of moments where DaHang should have played smarter and safer, controlling the map and locking the advantage, instead of "rushing too much". The only thing that can work against this kind of Cypher is frustrating him with a safe and intelligent defensive play, and in all three of the maps DaHang could have played in many moments more in this style, given he was in a significant advantage in thr beginning of all the maps. I know that this is easier to say than to do in game against this beast of a Cypher, but it's the style that rapha and other players (cooller) used to mantain Cypher "human" in maps like dm13. Surely (probably) this Cypher would have won the same, but I'm sure that with a smarter play in some moments, dahang could have taken a map or maybe two. Howewer, lots of respect for him and for this Quake God called Cypher.

[@q3dqopb]

Cypher's performance is absolutely amazing. Congratulations!

[@trendr1der]

cypher's aerowalk game was legendary

[@v1ccedd]

Cypher absolutely magnificent play.. just insane quake skills

[@terryallen4883]

Where is the player's cam? I was pleasantly surprised with the player's cam (dual POV) from the SEMI's and Bronze finals and somewhat disappointed not to see the players during the Grand Final.

[@nosycatUK]

16:00 NICE !!!! dodges like Mike Tyson!

[@headsupfiction8582]

My God, Cypher was sick in this final.

[@ORBrunner]

SOOO Agressive and fast paced game. A feast for my eyes. I have long seen anything like it and it's just wonderful! I am without regret watched this entire QuakeCon. P.S. I am also very glad that Cypher became yet again the triumphant of arena. Good luck for him on new QuakeCon!

[@janjuhalol]

Amazing final. Sadly that only 3 rounds... 5 rounds of that play would be great. Someone knows about Cooler? Will he participate in next years?

[@violentinstincts]

cooller is selling cars

[@grabisoft]

cooler died a long time ago, goku's spirit ball .. you know

[@lukaszachoval969]

Honzo, je to Cooller a hrál teď na Moscow Lan. Mrkni na dema/videa.

[@mikeistp5736]

And today Cooller is in quake again, lul )

[@SUNSPYtm]

10:00 Should've mentioned LG.. thing is slightly OP in QL and he uses it so well in those close-mid ranges. It should do slightly less damage and have slightly less reach IMO and the game would be perfect

[@im50yearsold]

***** git gud

[@SonSukka]

***** Go play Xonotic, no LG there.

[@DisfigurmentOfUs]

[@L1ghTx]

"You rush too much" gg grand final disrespect :D

[@adem4ik]

imho, it is not about disrespect, but about making a show. Cypher wanted to make a nice action for the people's pleasure and expected Dahang to play better and smarter. But...

[@ark333]

thanks for these video streams, I really liked them

[@drugstoremarc2]

Give us Aerowalk back in Quake Champions

[@nimce4u]

To watch the game: 2:220

[@MAarshall]

From 0-6 to 10-6 in 1m44s, beast mode activated.

[@ElGentoo]

Cypher and Dahang were definitely derserving that final game. Amazing play and yeah, too bad we didn't get 5 games of these ;)

[@free4fire]

I would have given the win to DaHanG too but I am still glad he lost, because amaricans might be bad loosers but they are even worse winners and hearing the crowd get shut down by Cypher every round so hard was just priceless! :D GG Cypher you did good boy!

[@H4mmerfall]

Competitive fps gaming peaked with this game

[@bidbkb8070]

Great games!!!

[@STaRBG4405]

Im surprised that everyone is taling about the rocked dodge at 16:00 but no one seems to realize thats the 2nd time he did it jut look at 15:55. Also I love how every map there are some USA chants that quickly get silenced

[@xlizi7623]

Can i ask a question? It is Quake 3 arena or Quake Live?

[@OlegTar]

Quakelive

[@RockinEnabled]

THAT dodge! (after 16:00) ...Just WOW!

[@bigcunwalking]

what sensitivity these guys use ?

[@cruz1ale]

cypher around 30cm with some accel, DaHang 20cm no accel IIRC

[@ssuuppeerrbbooyy]

16:01 that crouch :D

[@taipoxin]

And 15:55 as well. Dude's not human. Fastest reaction time I've ever seen.

[@cruz1ale]

taipoxin to be fair, you can't judge from that how fast his reaction time was. He heard and saw the rocket being fired way before the rocket filled his screen up, making it easy to predict that it might hit him and thus prepare to duck just in case.

[@taipoxin]

crucci I can't judge? The time between the rocket firing and it appearing was not "way before" it was a split second (I'll say about 25ms). I was there in front of the stage where I could hear and see everything myself. There is nothing easy about his ducking skills and I've not seen one other player who does it as often and as well as he does and I've watched dozens of his live games since going to Quakecon every year since 2007.

[@cruz1ale]

taipoxin What does it matter where you personally were when the game was originally played? We have video footage, we don't need memory. If an opponent is a few meters away from you and fires a rocket, you hear a sound of a rocket being fired. You don't need a visual cue, you can already react to the sound cue. Before you even see the rocket, you're already dodging or preparing to dodge based on an estimate of where the enemy might have fired it. That gives you several hundreds of milliseconds of a reaction window because QL rockets travel roughly 30m/s. Average human reaction time is 250ms, which gives you about 7-8 meter firing distance for the average person to be able to react to the rocket. Competitive gamers tend to have well under 200ms reaction time. I'm not claiming it is easy to dodge rockets like Cypher does. All I'm saying is that 15:55 doesn't suggest his reaction time is out of the ordinary.

[@taipoxin]

crucci I don't know why you're so set on arguing the nuance of something that I never even implied in the first place which misses the point but regardless, me being there = watching the entirety of all games he played so I know how he reacts to many situations similar to this one. I've seen him do many amazing reaction shots over and over and over. He wasn't already crouching just from auditory projectile noise of the rocket. The auditory fire didn't inform him that it was headed straight for him and he should know to duck. Hearing it and registering in his mind takes time, so it was a combination of hearing it to have awareness of the area it's being shot *from* and where to focus his view then to crouch as soon as the rocket appeared. You also don't have to tell me about competitive gamers as I have been one for over 15 years and I have proven myself with extremely good reaction time. I know someone with extraordinary reflexes when I see it. And it's not 'easy' to do it like Cypher does, nobody else does it as well as he does. He's a freak in a very small percentage of people. He thinks and reacts faster than the competition, besides aiming incredibly and this has pushed him to the top can kept him there for years.

[@zuulone]

what resolution is that?

[@mjollner23]

Congrats Cypher! It would've been so amazing to see Tox in the finals. I'm sure Cypher would've still won, but it might've been a bit more entertaining. .

[@DimitriPappas]

Can't believe they displaced this on the schedule with a CTF showmatch. I had just enough energy left in me to stay awake for this duel finals and then the CTF showmatch troll surprise. Fell asleep :( hate watching replays....

[@nitrousn2o]

where can I get the demo of this?

[@KC4K]

Такое ощущение, будто у Цифера вообще фанатов нет. Только и слышно, как все DaHang'a поддерживают :\

[@babymonster32ify]

But daHang got beaten

[@KC4K]

remmy tennie anyway, it looks like Cypher doesnt have fans :C

[@babymonster32ify]

I'm his fan now the way he plays is just amazing

[@VivaLaRazsa]

***** They play against other top level duelers of their region and play online/local tournaments.

[@VivaLaRazsa]

***** There still are a few in europe, but for quake only tournaments it looked pretty bad in the last few years. Kinda sad when considering how important practicing against strong opponents on Lan is.

[@antoniomora1906]

Excellent work from the commentators too, let´s not forget that.Good job guys!

[@WassylAldais]

Cypher crouch hax, report plz.

[@volchonokilliR]

[@ondrautk]

[@EscCtrl4452]

[@ulosen]

EscCtrl just look what happened to quake 4 :(

[@EscCtrl4452]

ulosen Remember Quake 2, they need to make it like that.

[@ulosen]

That would be wonderful, but it would be targeted at console market, capped at 60fps with shiny useless graphics. That would be the most profitable game for them. Best scenario would be a slightly better version of the original released in quake live style. But I guess there is no money in that as it would split the quake live community :(

[@Koljuchiy_Ogurec]

15:57

[@syncmode]

crouch button completely overpowered *lal*

[@JerehmiaBoaz]

+Sascha Sadat-Guscheh The whole point of quake is that everything is overpowered, it's an old school arcade shooter intended to make you feel like a superhero, not like a soldier. Though everything is overpowered, it's all in perfect balance, from the insanely powerful weapons, the crazy body armor, and the olympic record running speed and jumping hight, up to the crazy amount of damage your body can take (15 or even 20 machine gun bullets without armor before you die). The time it takes to crouch and get up again, as well as the time it takes to switch weapons, are about the least overpowered things in quake (3/live).

[@syncmode]

+JerehmiaBoaz i think it was a good joke (and also meant like one) :)

[@JerehmiaBoaz]

+Sascha Sadat-Guscheh Okay, I assumed really believed what zoot was saying. Successfully ducking rockets while on low ground doesn't say much about crouching but more about the opponent's aim :).
