Can you reformulate your first question? It's not clear to me what you're asking.

which ql duel top players are not competing in qc?

(hella faggot move to point out my bad grammar btw, but go for it, and also, people say rephrase and not reformulate, stopn tryin ur luck with just using german words, Ruud)

Are the ones that also quit playing QL eligable?

Yea

is RL a tru esport? Truly?

I honestly cannot think of any high level players active in QL in 2014/15/16 who actually did not at least try QC. Everyone seems to have gone for a bit of money so by that standard they have all 'sold out' as it were.

But I think it's worth pointing out that a lot of these players are pretty much just 'memeing' their way through it without putting in too much practice. I think players like noctis and fazz, who know that the game is awful are content to minimise their practice time (to a reasonable extent) and basically do it for lolz and ez money. Correct me if I'm wrong of course but the game is regarded by most high level players as a bit of a joke, in fact I would say they are finding it difficult to contain their disgust with certain aspects such as duel.

some people play because they enjoy competition/competitiveness, not exclusively for money

Ash obviously :)

goddamn horse thief

fox, Z4muZ

Did fox even play QL? thought he has been retired from gaming world for quite a few years

Fox went to prague tdm lan with 4 old men and got second place.

Had to look it up, that was 2013.

Ah cool I thought it had been even longer than since 2013. I miss him he's definitely my favorite quaker of all time. Super cool friendly guy too.

fox was alwyas my favorite player. I have watched that ZTN rape game so many times :D.

Mine too. I still hold a bit of anger towards toxic's lucky draw in that quad damage final for getting q4 twice, fox deserves at least one qcon title in his life :(

This, first two I thought of. Hit the nail right on the head.

appreciate you didnt follow the QC money

I think you could have earned some dirty QC money. from a playstyle perspective QC could fit you.

thank you kind sir - QL is just far more enjoyable for me. I could never be arsed to forcefully invest a lot of hours into a game I don't enjoy

I too respect a man who isn't willing to chase cheese through the grass like some 'slaw snake at the detriment to being bored as fuck whilst practicing for several hours a day, creaming your ball sack off at the prospect of a bite of that Quake Con Cornish Yarg

So what do you do for a living? :)

cheese testing

I think there are a load of talented dudes who just play to play. Nothing hardcore or anything.

Obviously not you. :]

lmao sorry oldschool noob, I wont hurt you again

He was terrified I bet. )

Sup autistic anime nerd, hows life?

Occasionally sneering at german-flagged griefers lovelorn with life. Nothing out of the ordinary.

'lovelorn'

nice word tbh

Don't be tsundere, my pedophile friend, theres no need for that

To be tsundere, I have to like you first.

But I have a dick and I'm two-dimensional, thats right up ur alley isnt it?

Stop with your personal projections pls.

Alright Mr. Denial, surely the 100.000 hours you spend watching little japanese children dont count then )))

I see I managed to hit a weak spot. ))

Uhm I dont watch anime, but nice try with pasting unfitting internet-responses

That totally explains why you use weeaboo vocabulary. )

Tsundere? Thats common internet slang, and it was literally a joke about you. Uhh, that must be awkward for you now :P

Not one bit.

No smoke without fire.

sorry to hijack this thread but does anyone know if czm is still living in switzerland? i feel bad if he is and is still paying full us taxes even though he's totally living and working abroad. i hope he has some plan to move back or renounce us citizenship. it's hard enough to say goodbye to family, but paying taxes to two different countries on top of that must be aggravating.

He's an assistant professor of maths at ETH: https://www.math.ethz.ch/the-department/people.html?u=nelsonpa Unless he gets a position at one of the big US/UK universities, he'd be a fool to leave (from a financial/standard of living perspective).

The average monthly salary for that position in our country pre-tax is 12k$ (twice that of what he'd get in the US), add quite a bit more because he's at ETH (the most prestigious university in the country by far and top 10 university of the world).

lol, professor in math :-), at what age? 34?
found one of his talks:

we should show this vid to all the starcraft, lol players, etc. who think they have superior minds and can be more succesful in academics because they play "strategy" games :-)

what about avek

druglord mastermind + import of footgear, you cant be a nut to do that

he does play qc but he changed his nickname to "Heartlesss" (with 3 "s" , cause sounds like a snake, and the snake tempted eve in the genesis, it's associated with the devil)

He tried, participated in Quakecon

Madball. Still plays Quake Live but I think I never saw him play QC.

Stren-axe just streamed QL but he did look a little rusty. Seems like QC skills do not transfer well to Quake.

le nub

Yea but then again, Strenx was never a great dueler, just a fantastic aimer

This is the moment when he tells you to play against him.

He is a je t'aimer

Pavel has participated on some QC tourneys till the autumn, and he wasn't as good as in QL https://www.plusforward.net/player/836/pavel/20/Quake-Champions/ That might be one of the reasons, as well as his family and lack of time and motivation to practice in QC.
