Video: Noppo vs Asking Questions

Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

We present you a highlight of an amazing round by Japanese player Junya "Noppo" Taniguchi, that took place during the final of Asia E-Sports Cup between his myRevenge team and Asking Questions from Singapore.

After losing the first best-of-three series in the grand final, myRevenge.jp still had a chance to take first place in the Asia E-Sports Cup due to coming from the upper bracket. A tight schedule at the Tokyo Game Show meant that the second series was not going to be played in best-of-three format, but instead it will be only one map to decide it all.

The deciding map was de_nuke and after an already tight first half, neither team was able to go into a bigger lead after the sides changed either, so the score stood at 10-10. Junya "Noppo" Taniguchi stepped onto the scene at that moment, facing a tough 3-on-5 situation, he pulled off an ace with three amazing wallbangs to turn the round around and seemingly give his team the needed push.

After that round, myRevenge.jp quickly brought the match to a close, winning 16-11 and getting to take the 800,000¥ (~$10,000) cheque home.

Dude this is way way more impressive than the n0thing bang. From now on you can call n0thing the american Noppo
2012-09-24 17:33:03
n0thing's was harder, he wallbanged wherever he wanted to.

noppo wallbanged two spots where he already knew(btw the third wallbang was a stupid move from T)
2012-09-24 17:37:44
why stupid move ? he wanted to take the bomb and plant it in front.. anything stupid in here ?
2012-09-24 17:44:10
if you watch here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF7aikEY1zM&fea..

you will understand that he could and should plant behind the box, but decided to stay in the very same position where his mate was wallbanged
2012-09-24 17:50:48
well if his mate was wallbanged in the site, taking the bomb and standing on the same spot is stupid. He should have take the bomb and try planting it on the left side, but i don't know where the third CT was, so i don't know was he able to do that or not... it's a mystery. But in any case he should have picked the bomb and move from that location, and he had 2 or 3 seconds to do that.

Anyway great move by Noppo
2012-09-24 17:58:38
If you saw the match the other CT pushed from the door and forced him to go for the plant.
2012-09-24 18:19:04
He wallbanged 1 higlight from where you usually wallbang. How is that "wherever he wanted to"?
2012-09-24 17:53:05
+1!
2012-09-24 19:08:54
w00t? n0thing followed the sound. he sprayed down where he heard and killed them all.

but hey, i forgot one detail: noppo's was @lan. hence i changed my mind
2012-09-24 21:44:34
n0thing was @ lan also xD
2012-09-24 21:55:00
sure? i thought i read some guys trash talking n0thing because that was @net

ps. nevermind, just saw it was iem global finals

2012-09-24 22:16:56
Dude what? So n0thing banged so cool cause he heard? :D this was 10000% more impressive cause he didn't hear them don't you agree?
2012-09-24 22:08:43
ok, i'll try to make my point clear:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bAwVBVwg8Q

1st wb: skill. sprayed where he heard.
2nd wb: skill. with less 10 bullets he dragged his spray to kill another guy that he heard.
3rd wb: brain. i mean, an usual spam spot, but he supposed the guy would go there after planting.
4th: skill. great move + aim
5th wb: brain (+stupid T)

now, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF7aikEY1zM&fea..

1st: brain. position advantage
2nd wb: brain. known spam spot, he just hoped to get luck.
3rd wb: brain. T was afraid of the door
4th wb: brain (+stupid T)
5th: brain. T was killing another guy

my point is, he played smart, but i think n0thing show much more skill, which makes it better for me.

ps. damn, i really do anything to avoid studying...


2012-09-24 22:29:59
:D you made the efford

Kudos man :)
2012-09-24 22:37:26

2012-09-24 17:27:42
shitty music ? poles gonna pole
2012-09-24 17:28:43
yeah cus CS was ment to be associated with shitty dubstep music ...CS always had a rock/metal soundtrack then slowly transitioned into tehno/house/trance etc then into shitty dubstep or worse, rap.
2012-09-24 17:49:14

yeh you got the point, really impressive his sense of wat is going on...
2012-09-24 18:17:52
this guy just won a fan
2012-09-24 17:32:13
Why did #6 get deleted? He just said that we'll never see that in GO.
2012-09-24 17:33:36
I also think that for the same reason
2012-09-24 17:37:03
Anything u say towars go that is not how big it will be or how it's going to improve gets deleted. Sad but true
2012-09-24 18:22:08
Because it was hateful
2012-09-24 18:48:07
Huh? It wasnt hateful. It was the truth.
2012-09-24 18:54:44
It was.

So you (or someone else) watch highlight of 15 years old game's frags. And the first thing comes into your mind is that it can't be repeated in CS:GO? Really?

I'm still waiting you to realise that CS:GO and 1.6 can't be compared
2012-09-24 19:08:52
Yes, they can be compared and they should be and thats the reason

1>why j3di from CSS is trying to make the recoil like 1.6 and CSS.
2>People want the movement to be improved to make it closer to CSS/1.6
3>People who participated in BETA gave thousands of feedback to make the game closer to CSS/1.6
4>Flinching was added by Valve to make it feel like 1.6.
etc
etc

Do i need to give more examples or you are too retarded to understand what i said above?

And yes, it cant be repeated in CS:GO and i am sad about it because as you can see in the highlight, it requires so much skill and experience and it makes 1.6 stand apart from other CS titles in a better way.
2012-09-24 19:13:40
"2>People want the movement to be improved to make it closer to CSS/1.6"

So it can be compared to 1.6 for this reason.
I'm really skeptical about education in India...
2012-09-25 11:25:25
Well, you just said yourself:

So it can be compared to 1.6 for this reason.

As per the punctuation used in your sentence(Full stop). Unless you meant something else? Well, in that case i can make a guess about the education level in your country.
2012-09-25 19:36:59
Ahahah, you are n1 tard in this community, no one is even close.

That sentence was lowest level of sarcasm.
And you are educated and smart enough to get it...
2012-09-25 20:21:39
+1
2012-09-24 19:57:10
How hateful could it be? He was just stating a fact about how such shots can't be pulled in GO. So, he was just indirectly praising 1.6 in a 1.6 video and there's nothing hateful about that.
2012-09-24 20:02:30
nice noppo-san!
congrats myR.jp!
2012-09-24 17:33:44

wOw !!!!
2012-09-24 17:54:12
Can anyone explain what this means?

I'm seeing this on top of the Match Page of VG Vs NiP

Voting finished
GeT_RiGhT(25%)
f0rest(21.1%)
Xizt(15.1%)
Fifflaren(2.6%)
friberg(2%)

What do these percentages mean?
2012-09-24 17:55:58
They mean per cent, also known as 1 out of 100. 50% is half, aka 50 from a hundred. Per cent is equal to 1/100.

25% means a quarter. It's half from 50%, easy calculation; 50/2=25. It means every 25 people out of 100.

E: They mean "Man of the match" votes :)

Hey English guy, I got a question for you. :P

When I talk about an expansion/add-on for a computer game, which is the correct term? "expansion" or "add-on" ?
2012-09-24 20:47:26
both are correct.

2012-09-25 12:48:49
nice skill and amazing wallbang :)
2012-09-25 14:41:22
I must be honest here: I was watching this match live, and hardly even noticed this ace. Mainly because noppo, the supposed "star" of myR, was fragging 3rd, 4th, or 5th for most of the time. If you compare this to his performance during the rest of the match, it sort of leads to an overall average performance. On the other side of things, no one seems to have picked up on lurppis' earlier ace on de_inferno, the first map of the match.
2012-09-25 17:23:13
due to the opponents level and to the fact that lurppis teammembers were on the same level as myR.

there wouldn't be any interest if lurppis made a simple ace vs a japanese team.

this performance by him was far extraordinary, this proves that noppo really played for a really long time.

strange enough, noppo have been a star in asian cs since 2007 and havent been that major outside asia :D

but he has some experience from playing below swedish semipro so he definately learned how to play over the years that gone since speeder attended events :)
2012-09-25 21:39:56
it's an ECO ace.
2012-09-26 00:14:09
Oh, I missed that part, lol. That explains why people didn't pay it much attention...
2012-09-26 04:21:53
The fuck did i just see?

Asians and their wallbangs. :|
2012-09-25 18:11:32
what the fuck.. ASIANS!
2012-09-26 01:27:06
WB Level: Asian.
2012-09-26 01:36:18
i had wallgasm.i watched it again and again.
2012-09-26 01:40:11
so multiple wallgasms :D
