Reflections with Makaveli: Changing my narrative (8 comments)
Posted by Thorin @ 13:56 CDT, 28 July 2025 - iMsg
In the 500th episode of my "Reflections" series I interviewed United States of America Victor "Makaveli" Cuadra, elite dueler and Quake legend.

Makaveli was one of the pioneers of the professional Quake 2 duel scene in the late 90s, along with friends and rivals United States of America Thresh and United States of America immortal. Players like United States of America Fatal1ty and United States of America ZeRo4 have credited him with inspiring their approach to pro play. He became the "unofficial world champion" after beating Norway Shub in an exhibition series after the Norwegian had won EDL.

Makaveli discussed his recent recontextualising of his playing career, the reasons he chose a life without esports and how archiving his past has changed his perspective.

proZaC has promised to perform if he qualifies to the Intel Extreme Masters World Championship, so he had better!

good thing they get two spots, then, cause I don't think anyone stands a chance against jibo.

uNleashed vs. proZaC should be interesting, imo.

he has a website with his achievements here. http://unleashed.jp/?page_id=4

He's been gaming for a while, playing for last dinosaur is a nice feather in his hat, but he doesn't have the experience in competitive quake that jibo/prozac do.

can't really judge the asian players apart from jibo, but im guessing prozac is better than them.

if that's the case tho, i'd say ez win for him, cause players like spartie/k1llsen/zamuz are way better.

but then again, i guess you could say the same for vo0...

euroean quake is simply the toughest competition as it seems

I have to say, offering two spots here seems a little pointless. I'm all for geographic representation, but there have to be players actually able to compete.

With Rapha already qualified, there should only have been two spots at the US qualifier (though if this number was set finally before Dubai, I understand), one spot at the asian qualifier (no excuse here), and the top eight from europe (which, by the way, is comprised of far more countries than are represented at the US and asian qualifiers combined).

I know they wouldn't have made it anyway, due to the group stage results, but it really seems a loss to have Vo0/Prozac going over spartie/noctis/killsen.

:/
<< Comment #18 @ 22:01 CST, 29 January 2010 >>
Don't underestimate vo0. He needs more brain to his game, but he can dish out some good shit. And NEVER underestimate prozac, I mean this is the original G, the one before fox/tox that destroyed TDM teams and raged CTFers, prozac is no slouch.


Also, i hope unleashed is good. Like up there with the best, I want to see some kung fu quake. (or whatever the fuck japan does for fighting in quake style)

unleashed is good but i don't think he's anywhere close to the top americans or europeans and understandably so, because you don't get too many good players in asia to practice with.

when i spoke to prozac, he told me he was playing on a netbook or something. he also looked a bit rusty imo,

i was comparing unleashed to the likes of cooller and rapha.
