Could people just plus me because let me save you all some headaches and some time:
Disclaimer: I don't play Reflex- well I did play it but I stopped playing it same time all the other normies did around last two weeks of March of 2017.
I am disclaimer a guy who has played Doom II, QuakeWorld, Quake II, Quake III, OSP, RA3, CPMA, Defrag, Quake Live, (skipped Quake IV), Warsow, (can't afford Quake Champs),
And here I am seeing some guy called "Czm" in tournaments but didn't sign up for the U.S. tournament and I try to Google "czm" "is it real czm" "czm Reflex fps" and I get like no results. So I'm like wtf... probably some European fake nicking like some Russian inz fake nicked as our ESReality favorite ins. Nope. He has American flag shown in some informations like Results page.
Sure, everything could turn out great, like CZM being a professor in Switzerland, or fatty turning a few victories a thousand years ago into a brand, but you could just as easily have thrown away a high school diploma, a college education and work experience for absolutely nothing.
I do some more research. I find him doing a legit lecture on some ambiguous math topic sure enough in some Swiss University.
Sure enough it is the same Czm.
How in the fuck did Czm even hear about something so ambiguous as Reflex I have no idea. One thing I will say, thankfully the man is as pure souled as ever. He isn't playing the "pop culture," "snapchat," "instagram," fake bells and whistles culture-cesspool of mediocrity "Cake Champs." And somehow, somehow... he heard about Reflex, a new modern spin on CPMA (which we know he has played in the past).
I did some more research, found his Steam Profile eventually, the guy is very busy, and very smart, but when he had a few hours to toy around with he would own noobs in 16 player FFA's and get that easy 1st place a few times last year. But mostly he's been playing Reflex when he gets some downtime. Now, I'm one of those promode and quakeworld USA players who autistically plays against the same 1-2 dudes most of my life. But I have 100000 times more respect for czm for playing Reflex than for cypher cooller and strenx for playing the utter monstrosity that is Quake Champs. I just can't even.
People run for money like rats and give up on their dreams: wanted to do "x" but it barely pays, so now I do "y." Meanwhile czm is all like, nu-uh, I'm doing me, gets a killer job in a foreign country, academic no less (this is like winning the jackpot), and the guy is seriously smart, did I mention he's seriously smart. Honestly, as an American, I sort of hope he comes back, we don't need to be giving Europe our best and brightest.
But now... to summarize:
tldr; Yes since there is like little to no information on this, this is the real Czm, he is in Switzerland now. He plays Reflex when he has downtime from being busy. He is not a stupid sell out like all the other players.
My own bias: Czm, why don't you upload Quake III Arena to your computer download some CPMA 1.50 (though I think that evil myT and TerriblFire and Fearosawyer probably created the devil's update, probably literally pedosto's children, erad banging with Reflexers' 0ro's daughters fml... smh... facepalm please...) that way he can play against HAL, gaiia, Duel Dogder Terifire, and everyone else who has some skill. Could say the same to Rama but honestly he's found his perfect game, I doubt he wants to move.
