Hello there and welcome to the 166th edition of the Run Of The Week!

Featuring: shNz
Map: mto_greencave
Realtime: 02:32.06 (-00:03.02)
Moviemaker: WeMeRA
Previous holder: Selhouette333

Good night ladies and gentlemen,

Today we give you another ROTW about our beloved game Counter-Strike 1.6!

This edition we are proud to give the spotlight to the new Number One on the Top 5 of World Records, shNz, our sincerely congratulations. And what run could be better than his demo on mto_greencave? None! Like j2s_westblock, this is another kreedzer's arena. If youdon't remember, there is one man who is still active that used to own this map, that man is your russian star, Selhouette333 (aka ShoCk)! Oh what crazy demos he had in there and we would say he did so well like he did on one of his favourite maps: kzse_valleycliff! And seems like shNz is not happy about Selhouette333 having those maps so he beaten both of them, honestly we hope Selhouette333 can do something about it otherwise this will not be as fun as it used to be on mto_greencave between players like himself, again the swedish machine LEWLY, pruno and of course koukouz! Let's pray for Selhouette333 to give shNz some good fights in there, we certainly need them.

Who is better than WeMeRA for such kind of runs? His unique style to edit ROTWs is so pleasant and simple, it turns a simple and magnificent run into something aesthetic and gorgeous for our vision. We will not bother you with anymore words because the ROTW speaks for itself.

With pleasure, here is the ROTW #166:

This ROTW covers the WR Release #682.

I knew this was heading for a rotw! Since the day I started to closely follow competitive scene on XJ and there was his name, there have always been people adoring this guy. Not just because of his crazy ass records but also because how aesthetically awesome he does that. shNz was there when I joined the community and to a present day he remains as an active player and throughout all these years he is keeping the mark but also keeps improving and sets the pace for others. But in that specific demo, the movements he is doing there, that is a whole another level, even for shNz. He seems to have sharpen his skill to an incredible level and to the point that when you look at him playing there's that neverending amazment feeling close to as if you were watching your favourite film over and over again. shNz has a perfect feeling for kz, and in my eyes, possesses of perfect combination of skill + aesthetics. That's in my opnion what differs him from many others and he never leaves us. My endless respect to you shNz.

^^^ im speechless

My thoughts excatly dude! This demo is too good. His style is just awesome on this demo. When i first watched lows clip on YT, this is exactly what this particular demo made me think. Blew my mind! Good job shNz and WeMeRa!

18/10/2015 12:08:00

Damn... You know, I'm not sure whether you were being entierly serious or not when you wrote this, but reading it actually made me feel more than ever recently that I'm doing something more here than just wasting my time making demos that no one (including me) really gives a shit about. Because if there are still people like you who can appreciate the beauty of this old-ass game in such a way, then for me it was absolutely worth the efforts trying records like this one. I think it would not be far from the truth to say that we are facing the final phase of our existence here at the 1.6 KZ arena, because although there are still people who enjoy visiting this community and even playing KZ, it somehow feels that to them it is just a routine at this point, and I'm sure we could all relate to this feeling to a certain degree. It seems like we simply ran out of true, childlike passion for this game, thus making it harder for other people to fall in love with it the same way we did a long time ago. But now when I read your comment, it makes me think that WE, as a community, and I'm not even talking about xtreme-jumps here, but about all the guys who can still see the aesthetics and feel something beautiful for this game, are truly ENDLESS. Thank you ShoCk, and all of you who enjoyed this run. I think most recorders would agree that making truly good runs is actually a rare thing nowadays. It requires a lot of efforts and dedication, for which your kind words and appreciation is a wonderful reward. You know, right after I became top 1 I decided to try this map as a last records, because throughout the years I've always loved this map, but I actually never felt good enough to make a world record on it. I figured that the day finally has come and I must be able to do it now, so I thought it would be a worthy ending to a long journey, because the map itself really is epic. Most people would find this stupid, like being so serious about some game is ridiculous etc., and maybe they have a point, but knowing for a fact that there are people who can still understand the value of these things is priceless, so once again, thank you very much, fellas, you truly are amazing. <3 P.S. I hope you don't mind me calling you by your previous nick. It's just that I will always be remembering you as ShoCk, man. I even think you should be using your selhouette333 alias everywhere else on the Internet, but here, at xtreme-jumps, you just gotta be ShoCk! Oh and I should be thanking you twice, actually, for that fail on the HJ block, which pretty much made my record possible, so thank you very much, my man!! :D P.P.S. Very enjoyable edit WeMeRa! The music fits perfectly and creates a great, relaxing atmosphere, which is just the right fit for this run imo. Keep editing, man, it's nice to see you around! =))

18/10/2015 20:16:00

Hehe :) of course I was being entirely honest, it's a rare case that something, in this case - run, makes me want to say all these words so thank you as well for the good emotions. And of course I don't mind being called ShoCk, that's the nick I grew with and by which people know me, selhouette is just an interface name. Hope yoy changed your mind about this demo to be the last of you.

very inconsistent for him and doesnt save much (max 1-2s)

17/10/2015 17:19:00

Thanks

17/10/2015 21:10:00

Great work both ! In my opinion sharpness was a liiiiittle too strong here.

18/10/2015 03:36:00

Btw the newspost can be improved, I don't like the word "selhouette333" being repeated so many times, you can say the russian player, the previous holder. Nice job anyways zythh!

18/10/2015 15:43:00

So saying 'the Russian player' is better than calling him by his name?

19/10/2015 08:36:00

You have to understand that writing a pharagraph requires diversity of substantives to refer to the thing you want to talk about, and that thing is selhouethe333.. You can mention his name twice, but writing it 4 times in a newspost is kind of repetitive. Therefore, what I suggest is, after you mentioned him 2 times, it's necessary to call him with another word, in this case "the russian player", or "the previous holder". That gives the post more vocabulary.

19/10/2015 13:26:00

hey im not a thing :-'(

18/10/2015 17:54:00

Not enough mentions of ShoCky imo !

18/10/2015 19:52:00

GG shnz!

19/10/2015 05:30:00

20/10/2015 08:58:00

20/10/2015 23:56:00

20/10/2015 23:10:00
