Greetings XJ,

Since the last release,

shooting-star

still continues in his jumpbug madness, and the only triple jumpbug record on XJ got beaten.
Not only doing three jumpbugs in a record is insane already, the whole run is very quick and enjoyable to watch. Beating the previous record by 8 seconds, he deserved this ROTW. Although the WR was beatable, and beaten using only two jumpbugs,

shooting-star

decided to go full on this one, and make a nearly unbeatable run.

While doing this edit, I took some advice from Nubz , and I believe it increased the quality of this one. I also went back in time, and inspired myself by my own work. When I ran out of ideas, I noticed the grid texture applied to the floor, and based the whole edit on it.

News: Looking for 2 new demoadmins

Hello community!

I've been running the demo section of this community alone for a while now. However I believe demochecking should always be done with a team. That was one of the things I requested when I first took this position. I believe multiple pairs of eyes and different points of view are always welcome when it comes to demochecking. So now we're opening up 2 positions for new demoadmins for XJ.

Requirements:

- Years of playing the game to know how things work
- Experience with at least the demo tools available for everyone
- You must be active, logging in on Steam once a week isn't enough for this
- Able to communicate in English
- Unbiased point of view towards all players
- Legal copy of CS on Steam

You don't have to be an expert at everything related to the game, demochecking is a continuous learning process for everyone.

Anyone willing to step up for this position can contact me on Steam. You can also find me on the XJ Steam group admins. Start by adding me or telling me why you want this position and why you would be good at it.

Yours,
XJ

News: Release #744 Review

Dear XJ,

The WR Release #744 was remarkable for several reasons and in our opinion deserves more attention. Recent ROTW post speaks for itself, incredible performance of

g-Lp

magnified by

blackelf

's edit definitely belong into XJ's highlights of the present times. If you haven't checked it yet, do it now. However, ROTW is just a tiny little highlight of the last release. To give you more, we asked the main stars to find out more about these demos.

With 8 WRs in WR Release #744,

round

not only has the most demos in the release, but also has boosted his WR count by 200% and improved his time on kz_synergy_x2 by FOUR(!) minutes. We asked him to describe his way to this achievement. Although

fykseN

is streaming for a while now, he's beaten some WRs during what he calls to be the best streaming session so far. Read more for stream clip and his words.

Furthermore, XJ's longest-lasting record on kz_giantbean_b15[1337trees] (9 years, 6 months, 16 days) has been beaten. Full journey explanation to be read in the extended newspost!

Huge thanks to

blackelf

who immortalized the new run in a beautiful clip:

Good evening XJ,

It's a fact that choosing the ROTW is not easy, especially in releases like this one. However, this time it's claimed by the climb mastermind himself -

g-Lp

. We are talking about an outplay here, a little French comeback with a huge improve on an iconic map. It has been 7 years since the last record and the style evolution is perfectly visible.

g-Lp

makes it look smooth and easy by reforging the record as a whole.

The feeling of oldschool is empowered by an edit from none other than

blackelf

. The song choice will probably take you back to 2010. Calm and collected strafing with signature doubleducks solidify the illusion.

Embrace the vibe, enjoy the clip!

Use THIS FORM to apply for the position!
Remember to pick "Development Team" position, regardless of the roles mentioned in this post.

Make sure to mention the spectrum of your language skills. Every applicant will be contacted shortly after. Details surrounding the project will be revealed as well.

Hey everyone,

Today along with multiple other entries, we're announcing a new world record.

memek

has managed to beat the 274 block with a double countjump. Thank you

en3y

for the video highlighting this amazing jump. Congratulations for the new record and to all the jumpers for their entries!

We also recently asked the community if XJ should extend the LJ tops to 10. With over 80% of the votes supporting this idea, the tops now have 10 positions each. We ask for patience with future LJ updates since we assume the flow of demos will be quite overwhelming at first. You're allowed to submit older demos for the tops too.

But enough talking, here are your new entries:
