One of my favorite tournaments. Thank you for uploading this.

Cypher was godlike at this tournament. Pretty sure this is the one where he got the back-to-back air rockets on DaHang.

[@tangis4338]

Love you, Clau.

[@SarcofagoBlackThrash]

Great game, thanks for the upload.

[@clarus_tx]

Awesome tournament! This game was very good in 2009.

[@aoighwoehg]

Really miss 2GD commentating

[@lukebroughan192]

Always found this to be a challenging map

[@kl3r1k3r-7]

Why are the Items sometimes marked * ?

[@decebal01US]

Its a feature of Wolfcam. It shows which items the POV player took. The items without the * where taken by the 2nd player

[@kl3r1k3r-7]

@@decebal01US Ah I see. Thank you for your responsen.I' ve been enjoying watching all the old vods recently. Thanks for all the uploads. I hate myself for missing all the Quake action eventhough I was around 18 during that time :/

[@karmaduq]

It would be really nice if people weren't talking over these matches.

[@SMOKE-MK]

*In Quake Live No dismemberment of enemies on kill ?*

[@Leo-vg1rr]

No, because when the game was released, it was supposed to be a competite game in which young kids could be able to compete. Thats the reason why gore from quake 3 was removed in Quake live.

[@user-er1kj2wl5y]

Почему Сypher и Cooler так постоянно играют? И в Quake Champion точно также играли: наумирают кучу фрагов, а когда остаётся 2 минуты до конца - начинают героически навёрстывать утраченное, включать тактику и видеть, что противник держит их на расстоянии, выжидая удобную позицию. И очевидно, что из-за того, что заканчивается время - Сайфер будет пушить, ломиться и соответственно - ловить ракеты прямо в лицо, отдавая позиции и айтемы.

[@psholtbi]

Рафа просто хитрее Сайфера.

[@jakinluk2513]

Can they hear the commentators?

[@denisestorm3565]

No, and they can't see the item timings either.

[@lreismann9180]

​@@denisestorm3565 okay now learning this about the timers just made me infinitely more impessed in the players 😳
