Harosh!

Can we get some old players like eNemy and keep3r?

Awesome!

LeXer? Jibo? What year is it? Mofo legends!

Would've loved if Cooller, Cyber, Av3k, K1llsen, Tox, Dem0n, Noctis, Clawz and a couple of others could've played in this comp.

Either way, I'm happy that this is happening!!

Big ups to the organisers!! Big [+]

I'd have loved to see Cyber too. I haven't checked up on him lately. Hope my dude is doing okay.

Jibo!!!

set the record str8 hun

Why is this major?

I like the idea of resurrecting QL just like the next guy.

But this is a single active decent player who can't go to QuakeCon to play QC (but has made rapha sweat in practice), being invited to a tournament with a cast of 3 players I've never heard about, 1 player I never lost to in publics, 1 player who just got out of prison (and last time we've seen him in competitive duel, he was very promising, top 8 Zotac cups!), and 2 more players who I've also liked, but also haven't seen playing in 10 years.

Yeah, major news. A Cypher showmatch. Let me remind you, before he got kicked out from the QPL, he NEVER made it top 8 on LAN. Major news. EDIT: I meant season finals. ins corrected me. Cypher was #4 on LAN in Lucca. I'm sorry.

It's majored because it's news of an event in the Quake community and someone took the time to post it.

The eternal Polish whine

Hello multiple accounts user

stop measuring skulls and stop decide who should and who shouldn't. Ure not in charge here pal

You're 100% right, but the old farts don't like to hear the truth. It's like sunlight for vampires.

Said Cypher also had to go life and death to beat inactive retarded village idiot Agent in this insignificant cup.

Cypher's quake career is over, but it didn't end in march 2022, no. It ended when he tought trying to smuggle weed trough international American airports security was a bright idea.

That cost him several international LAN tournaments in the latter part of his prime when quake live was still the main quake title.

And then his junkie lifestyle rotted his brain and reflexes leading to him never ever being competitive in quake champions even when all main tournaments were played online and he didn't need a visa.

Cypher's quake career is over, he needs to make peace with the concept and move on like Cooller, Strenx, Stermy, Evil, Toxic and all the others.

He needs to find a job, right now he can barely sustain himself and his drugs addictions only trough people donating him moneys on twitch, while he goes life and death or loses playing against players with names like "luckmeplease" or "furrypride" or "Retaliator69".

It's just sad at this point.

Actually the smuggling thing (I mean, it wasn't smuggling, the guy smokes pot, so he had some on him, but it's still incredibly stupid) happened when he was traveling for some Overwatch tournament, IIRC.

Quake Live was over by that point. More money in being 16th in some new game than 1st in Quake. And of course we don't care if Quake masters play Painkiller, Shootmania, Overwatch, Apex Legends, whatever they can get good at quickly, win some money and come back to us ;) I'm only saying this wasn't really a time when missing Quake tournaments meant anything for this caliber of player.

I mean, he probably already played the QC prototypes/alphas (all the pros have at QuakeCons since like 2015) and knew he can come back for the big tournament... where he was absent, we were graced with guys like Vo0 making a big comeback on the glorious 15 FPS stream, and clawz probably made more money than Cypher's total earning? ;) Cypher knew that's coming and still...

So back to this RESP Classic, I liked swex-Agent and even the grand final. Is it spoilers to say rusty Cypher made it there? Anyways, winning Aerowalk by surviving with like 10 hp in the last second, against someone who I sometimes play in QC and outaim... Aerowalk!

OTOH, this confirms how little preparation he put into this, because he's not so rusty in QC (I already pasted a clip in the previous post). In other words, just a showmatch of an inactive ex-pro, like I originally predicted :)

Quake Champions is a failed game at pro level, and yet only the skills of so many Quake3/QL pro players keep it afloat at competitions. The idea of implementing different characters with different movement speeds and different sizes made it even harder for beginners to get good at it. Because it became even more based on movement and aim.
It is not this or that quake player who is "finished", but the fault lies in this game alone still living like a zombie on the back of a few (not so) active players, while it is still dead.

Lam chill. It's not like we are overwhelmed by the community news. Whatever happens it's major news nowadays. 1000 USD in a prize pool. Did Zotac-s even match that?

Basically yes ($100 each weak in 2009 money is like $1000 a month in today's ;)), but I meant it was a looong time ago since he's played anything. And unsurprisingly, instantly eliminated.

Why are you drawing attention to a Quake cup with great prize pool and lineup?

It's a mystery.

nice more tournies like this please!

Let's go, Jibo!

Cypher, ash, pavel, Jibo wtf!

Jibo lol I wanted to ask on twitch to troll cypher where is jibo and there he is.

ez for Yay0?

ggs

Winner bracket final, lower bracket final, and grand final each had a map that was super close. Fun times.

I'll upload more these days.

well run tournament in every aspect!

Actually a really nice tourney. I think if it was on twitch or youtube, there'd be at least twice the amount of people present on stream.

Where can I watch the full stream?

its a shame cyber did not play this tournament, he is better than agent and might have even beaten cypher.

Would've loved if Cooller, Cyber, Av3k, K1llsen, Tox, Dem0n, Noctis, Clawz and a couple of others could've played in this comp.

Huh, someone is actually insane.

They've implemented the whole of Quake Champions in Quake 3 engine and run a tournament of that, for some reason :)

Not very original after Doom QC Edition, but still I don't see why not do it. Sounds fun. ;)

That Doom was still Doom in the end. Doom speed and craziness with some QC stuff dropped in to make it an even crazier, more fun Doom.

Meanwhile this is a 1:1 remake of QC. Yes, the maps look different, but you can tell someone really put in the work to preserve all the jumps and angles and tiny geometry anywhere it's actionable, all the physics and all mechanics and all rules are the same. It's a remake :)

QC is a "live service", so I guess they're getting ready for the eventual shutdown. But even then I don't see who would actually play it.

It's just another Q3 mod to add to the millions that are out there. Like any other mod it'll fade into the darkness eventually.

And if it helps transition a couple of QC players into Q3/QL, I'd say it's worth it. :)

Joys of playing on early alpha, Agent-Base crashed (signal 11 aka SEGV) when Agent's Sorlag spat on a closing door ;)

Can't have a Quake event without technical issues. ;)

LeXeR, nice.
