Kpoluk deserves to be on the KZ hall of fame alongside edark and others, great work.

Very nice smieszneznascki, there’s not a player alive that can take ivory without struggling hard.

wp hamma and colcol! i'm slightly dissapointed you did the cj on cobkz_rush_race because I wanted to see a god run :D

Regarding the rating system. Overall it is vastly improved from before, well done. I hesitate to give my opinion as it might be seen as criticism when that is far from the case of what I want to do, and obviously it's easier to say something then do it so I really respect the work you guys have put in and the ratings seem a lot better than to what it was previously.

I want to draw the attention to the player jobenz, who is 6th in the rankings (this is not meant as any disrespect to the player whatsoever, his record list in relation to his ranking is simply a good example to elaborate on). Every single top 1 run of his, whether its pro or nub, is a lot slower than the world records of the maps. Furthermore, nearly every single map that he does have a top 1 on, it is clear that from looking at the map rankings there is no competition from any "strong" players, and in the very few cases that they are in the map rankings, it also clear that their time is not up to the standard that they would have if they were to actually spend even a little bit of time on the map. Another point to elaborate on is having nub1 on an easy map that people do pro runs on (which jobenz has) is vastly different from having nub1 on a hard map that very few - if anyone - complete without cp's.

Perhaps a solution to the above would be to rate certain maps more strongly. A suggestion I would give would be to rate a map stronger depending on how many people have actually completed it, as these are usually highly contested maps within the top chain of players, and are popular for a reason. Also, if it would be possible (I don't think it would be viable but just to give an example) to rate maps stronger depending on the level of caliber of players that have actually completed it. Just as an example and from my knowledge as I have a good time on this map, fu_extreme has pretty much the who's who of all hard-extreme map players on the rankings, it should be fair and accurate that one's ranking on this map should be valued very high compared to any other map, as it is clear that if someone can do a great time on a contested map like this, they are also capable of getting a good ranking on any other map of a similar difficulty and similarity as far as what type of map it is (whether its a bhop map, climb or slide map). This could be mis conceptualized by exactly how long a player has spent on the map in relation to the others but I think in general it is a good approach.

Finally, I want to draw the attention of what really makes one consider a player to be better over another (whether in general or in the kz rush rankings)? As an example I'll just name one player of the top of my head, g-Lp. I believe if we were to battle in easy bhop maps he would beat me 10/10 times, yet if we were to battle in easy climb maps with minimal combos, whether its a short or long duration map I am confident I would also beat him 10/10 times. If that was the case, how would we decide who is generally the better player? If we take our abilities on other map difficulties out of the equation, it is a tough question to answer, and so perhaps having separate rankings depending on either the type of maps, and or the difficulties would be most idea.

Sorry for the long text but I have free time and this does interest me :) Everyone should give you guys a big thanks for what you're doing for this game.

thanks hamma. your demo is awesome too

2023 topo mythical creature of kz

Buddy you’re talking about 20 second maps, any good bhopper can geek them and do the same thing

F for FykseN

Democheckers should be more transparent. Evis is an idiot and he calls everyone a cheater but a broken clock is right twice a day. I don’t like accusing anyone because the way he plays is a way someone naturally good at the game can play too, but these multi accs are fishy, hiding your identity and of course getting banned previously. Maybe skarp can elaborate.

very nice runs all gz. who is david38 this guy is better than me

patchouli who? topoviygus who?

who else can do a 50 demo release, which would be 100% if not for corruption of demos outside of his control. There is only one GOAT of this game and his name is avivVv.

talantt my friend very pro!!!!

Sexpeare u have to stop smoking weed it is frying your brain. Trust me

And a player most won't know about but I spectated yesterday Zimok is an absolutely insane player, I won't be surprised if he wins the whole thing.

ahaha, dont worry joca i will go easy on them :) but no there are some very strong players in this tournament, I don't like my chances but either way I will be very excited to watch gorbachev's stream after I get knocked out the tournament. toffifee, sekai, tuf, outside, brokoly and the dark horse okazyz might surprise everyone. Should be very fun!

I'm in just to beat medvded.
