I, like most people i assume, really enjoy watching demos of particularly good players. From different styles of play to tricky clutch plays to sneaks ive learnt the most frim watching demos than actually playing the game.
My question is, who is your favorite player to watch?
I came up in 1.0 and was bad as hell. But i remember watching the anthrax, tayituux, all of w00p just destroy mofos.
When i started playing again in 1.1 i didnt get that same vibe until i played an inter with undead. With me being noob and in a group hang of noobs, i think it was the first time i had an interaction with a player that knew a lot about the game and was sharing that information (albeit brutally) i took the demo and watched every move, why he made those decisions. Was it a mostake or was it deliberate.
As time moved on and i started to understand the game better, i loved watching harrek play. Sort of super aggression. Then i got into some of the more sefensive players like newbie, ech0, larry.
Probably the most recent influence ive gotten from watchin tape is watching s!ck play. When watching the demos it hard to say whether their tactic was deliberate as it can seem random, but as ive starte to analyze it more patterns arise.
So who's your biggest influence, mine would have to be players from |oNe| past and present (<3 wolf) and w00p. When i first started playing it was my dream to be in one of these clans.

harrek - super agressive
haittah - very clever
undead - smarts
sanzo - because he actually moves with his sniper
sick - tactics

I don't have a specific player to watch, but some games were played in the past (the past, when the strategy was stronger than the AR) and those games were just amazing.

Undead's montage is one of my favorites. Sanzo is also dope.

In 1.0 I used to watch a lot of demos especially when there was a cup; I would download the matches where pros played and keep watching it from time to time and each time from the view of a different player. From what I remember, I'd say my biggest influence are the players from w00p. Specially ech0 and then tenshi and Drakas. ech0 has/had a really sick aim but his tactical awareness and decisions in matches are what stood out to me, tenshi for his incredible defensive play; how he moved, etc, and Drakas for being a well rounded player that could play with most weapons comfortably, it was just fun to watch :)

None of them, because most skilled players are assholes and most of all I won't get that good at anytime. :(

im not searching für demos of specific players, but rather watch tournament demos. sanzo is probs the one i spectate most of the time when hes in it, since i like how he is able to play badass matches with only ARs surrounding him (and not whining about it). other than that i spec great AR players like undead, depends on the situation and the teams.

Not every player competitively is an asshole. Its just trashtalk most of the time.

I enjoy watching (in CTF, obviously) any player for whom the enemy flag is a magnet; every spawn is a race to get to the flag, regardless of the difficulty or remaining health. I think this is because you can almost feel their relief when it comes off against the odds.
Because I don't play CM's or inters, a lot of the elite players I only ever see in demos, but Benson is probably the person I've enjoyed spectating most, followed by Woolly. I really couldn't say why.
edit: That serenity HS brings back memories, Exo.

In no particular order:

- Waffles
- Sanzo
- Harrek
- Horus
- Redbull
- Milandrag
EDIT: Marti, Krayce, Lucas shotgunning.
I always used to love watch MeLonE, Benson and ech0 play when they were around too.

I like to watch myself play tbh.
Other players which i think play really uniquely, and thus enjoy watching in demo, include: sanzo, undead, cogu!! and as much as i hate to say it, melone back when he was good.

ElCrema: Extremely aggressive, and accurate. Makes for a lot of "holy shit!" moments. Quickknife master.
Montana: Smooth and relaxed. Tons of headshots. Frenchy.
sanzo: I hate him.
Undead: Hate him.
Everyone else better than me: Hate 'em

Xenon for his sick shotgun, and Undead for his sick gema skills in official maps.
