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.

that's why it was unexpected, i tought i knew what to expect from plazma. What to expect from detrony has never been clear because ZA and his style of play and aiming.. Bpatela has a gamestyle more rewarding in QL LAN environments

How can people vote for phantom when he was high seeded and didn't qualify.

Plazma was among the very few that had a lower seed and did so, therefore he (or the other one or two) deserve the title of best unexpected performance and no one else.

Easy: they are either from SA or suffer from brain damage.

Agree, has to be plazma or geinon, the rest finished where they should have pretty much according to seed, although bpatela may have done better than expected map score wise etc, he did not make it out so ye :P
