What I'm saying here is, when you have an audience consisting almost solely of males that want to see females in this field, getting females to cast, cosplay or just stand on the stage looking good is business. Its about money, you want those people to attend/watch your events again.
The practice scrims that Rapha did last week are vastly more watchable and informative than anything that's been done on the stage
Prior to the assessment of the brackets, what a clusterfuck again, how is it that Rapha and Dahang ALWAYS get the easiest brackets, playing against scrub teams that have ZERO chance?
Where our EU comrads, like EVERY quakecon or quake competition end up having to play grueling top tier games to knock each other out?
Mentally that's fucking hardcore, it honestly drains the players, where the American Liquid DUO get an easy sweep of matches against teams they can honestly just auto-pilot on.

Like, straight staring and tracking trough walls
Plus his aim constantly sucks except when he "turns it on" for the matches that matter and starts hitting absurd flick rails
Also the fact he constantly jokes on stream about having to turn on/off cheats, what are his favourite ones
how he avoids lan because he can't cheat there, etc.
Plus the admins of the cups are russians so he can do what he wants and they'll defend him.
Being a champion of QC is not something to be proud of?
So because the game doesn't have a good netcode and there are abilities it means it's easier to beat the other top Quake players who play it 2 years in a row?
Just because you hate the game doesn't mean the winner of its tournaments shouldn't be proud or should even feel embarrassed. At the end of the day they play for the money not for your recognition.
If it's so easy to be good at it how come the majority of the best QC players are the exact same players who were best at the previous quakes?
No Q3 or QL event ever had the viewership QC has. That's a fact.

Achievements not only include amount, but quality as well. It's both things.For example rapha was the clear best in QL because of winning Quakecons and the two ESL grand finals ever hosted. But if we go by quantity then strenx was the best Quake player ever, and no one thinks that.
Quakecon today is the most important event in Quake, and clawz won it two years in a row. In terms of winning more important tournaments, clawz has already surpassed cooller's top achievements. It's only a matter of time until clawz wins more tournaments (quantity) and overall surpasses cooller as a player.
(Tournament starts tomorrow)
