Ztrider wins Jolt PCZone

Ztrider just won the PC Zone Jolt Painkiller tournament. He beat Jabb0r from the UK in two maps.

  • Sacred: Ztrider 17 – 15 Jabb0r
  • Absinthe: Ztrider 30 – 1 Jabbb0r

The game was played on 1.61, and i think they had some fps problems in absinthe.

GG to both.

Bluefoot and Shadish did not play, and share the 3th place.

PK 1.61: A step backwards

GotFrag? posted a article concerning the problems with the new 1.61 patch.

A snipet:

“Easier movement isn’t exactly “easier”, it seems almost more sloppy and random instead of tight and controlled.” said Flander. “I can’t even play online anymore. People who play out of control and just run around are going to dominate online; it’s not going be about aim or skill”
