@@mart446 it may be distraction for Quake Purity but it's not the real reason why the game is not more popular.

Gotta respect the dedication of QCP, after all the years and the game not doong good, he still provides great QC content, the news, the updates, matches etc. Hats off to you 👌🏻
Pure joy! Thx for all people, who make it happen! Rapha - megaladon! Raisy keep pressure, i hope you get what you deserve next year! Tears of joy! Than you all, god bless you!
I'll never understand why Quake Champions is not more popular. There really is nothing like watching 1v1 Quake. So much fun to watch these incredibly skilled players!
The skill ceiling is so high in quake duel folks these days don't want to put the work in , we all know it sucks to get whitewashed when someone gets total map control 😂
It's not casual friendly at all compared to modern FPS. Casuals do not want to get bullied or slowly progress to get better. The game is amazing if your a Veteran, but for new players it's mostly rage quitting after a few matches. There needs to be a solution for that to bring in new players.
Look at what Q3 had when it launched and what QC has after years of "development". The base game is sub par and the esport scene is not organic. You need a good game, QC is not one.
24:00 "he's not doing damage and running like a scared animal" then he just won the round with an incredible move. This demonstrates Rapha's experience and proves how great he is.
What Rapha seems to have mastered is the ability to play his best in those most stressful moments of a tournament. He can be so focused, confident and deadly
The death of Quake was Match making. I tried to find games, there are none. Part of what made Quake so good was its community and the accessibility of just browsing games with PERSISTANT servers. You would see friends play or foes. Match making was made for consoles and it has killed a few genres and games (Incl. Battlefield now too).
been away from quake for a while now, but wanted to see the final for this years qcon and glad to see you are still uploading :) keep it up Rapha is pure class, what a respectable guy. they say staying at the top is harder than getting to the top and brother has been doing it forever. long live quake
Quake or Quake Champions is one of the most mechanically demanding FPS shooters of all time. I would love to see someone like iitztimmy/aceu or the other best fps players in the world try QC and go up against Rapha, or vice versa in Apex/CS etc.
@@Ldn12345 Agreed, since Quake is extremely fast paced & map-knowledge heavy/spawns/timings etc. It would take a while for other pros to get used to it, more so than Quake players playing Apex/Valorant for eg. Maybe a pure aim game like aimlabs? But then again, that's just aim. It makes me curious to see someone like TenZ try it out.
@@NerdPsychoNot to mention drafting. Quite a few of the matches were basically decided by bad champion picks and every match is at least heavily influenced by it...
Actually Rapha was beaten at QuakeCon 2022 (LAN), where he took only 5-6th place. Rapha lost to Maxter 0-2, and then to Raisy 2-3 ... At QuakeCon 2021 (Online, because Covid) Rapha was also beaten, he took 3rd place. This time Rapha lost to Av3k 1-2, and then to Raisy 0-3 Thus, out of 7 Quake Champons QuakeCons (2017-2023) - Rapha won only 2, last time he won QuakeCon 2020 (3 years ago). If we don't count first 2 Quake Champions QuakeCons (because it was weird game with 5 minute rounds and 3 characters at once, instead of a normal 10 minute duel with one character), Rapha won 2 of 5 Quake Champions QuakeCons In addition, until 2022 there were so-called "Stage Finals" of Quake Pro League, which in status and in fact were almost like QuakeCons. And in these Stage Finals, Rapha was also defeated several times: QPL Season 1 Stage 3 Finals (2020, Online) - Rapha took 3rd place, he lost to Cypher 1-3, and then to Killsen 2-3 QPL Season 1 Stage 1 Finals (2019, LAN) - Rapha took only 5-8 place, he lost to Cypher 1-3 And at Quake Pro League Season 1 Kickoff (QuakeCon 2019) Rapha took 3rd place, he lost to Dahang 1-2, to Killsen 0-2, and to Xron 0-2 ... However, no disrespect to Rapha and his achievements in professional Quake. Rapha is Living Legend of Quake, one of Two Best Quake Live 1v1 players, The Best Quake Champions 1v1 player, and The Best Professional 1v1 player in all history of Quake
Rapha tilted in every game on stream all year "@$%#ing game...just want to play the same as everyone else..." Everyone else "quit whining Rapha...excuses" Rapha tonight "told you so" 😂😂😂
15:20 That whole sequence was so cool and punctuated by a particularly good ragdoll death. 33:35 Getting hit the this while the announcer is talking about mental damage is perfect.
RAISY keeps doing the same mistakes through the years, it really sad and kinda frustrating to watch. Flaws: A) picks - Scale on Ruins on LAN with so many champs left? xD Visor on Awoken while Doom still left ? (I realize he might have been trying to take it away from Rapha for the future games, but thats not the way to play this). The WB final were even worse for him. B) Bans - in the WBFinal, he didnt ban Keep. Before anyone says Raisy's keep. Rapha is F** INSANE on that map. He even mentioned it in one interview its the best map of his in comparison to others, bcs there is no rail involved, which can bring some outer elements from the game away.
Long story short - its really sad, but until he wont realize how to play around picks & bans against particular players, this will be the factor which will FOREVER prevent him from winning :) And rapha - gg's wp'd, such a joy to watch that understanding of the game. :o
Raisy played too much matches at once... he was playing really tired... i don't think thats fair... they should leave the final for the next day(sunday)...
@@dnl2003 , it IS fair. Because Raisy LOST match (with a score of 0-3, by the way) to Rapha before Grand Finals. So Raisy DESERVED punishment (tougher conditions in possible Grand Finals) While Rapha didn't lose A SINGLE MAP (!!!) TO ANYONE before final match with Raisy. So why the hell these two should they be on equal terms?!
@@Tier4JeanPrecesily, the player in the winner bracket is already the player that is the best of the tourney. That player doesn't need 1 free map advantage. Add that the player in losers need to play without a break in the grand finals, meanwhile the player on winner can rest and even watch his opponent games. Will be enough advantage to have first pick and first ban. Other option can be, best of 5 finals. If the player in winner brackets lose, he got a another Chace, do they play another best of 5.
Not just quake. The whole enternaiment industry have turned into a steaming pile of garbage nowadays. Movies, games, and unfortunetaly it has affected quake with it aswell. Thankfully though we still have the classics to take inspiration from, and to study from , so nothing is over. The world just needs talented devs who grew up on the q1-q3 era and we'll be set.
Hi! Your video miniature spoiled me the end of the championship… can you be more careful about that? Or should I unsubscribe to avoid being spoiled on the next one? Now I’ve no point in watching Vengeur vs Raisy in the semi 😭
It is? I play this game for quite some time and didn't notice a particularly large LGBTQ presence, despite a certain number of individuals and streamers but nothing too big

Killsen, Maxter, Av3k, and ... Raisy won Rapha at Quake Chapmions QuakeCons and QPL Stage Finals. And at QuakeCon 2019 (beginning of QPL) - Rapha lost to Dahang 1-2, to Killsen 0-2, and to Xron 0-2
It's really sad that cypher (and the russians) are now behind the new iron curtain. Cypher managed to get his passport right to finally attend quakecon, but he was not allowed after the war. I really think that he could have won against rapha on LAN.

I wish the devs and playerbase of QC were bigger and more active. This is some of the best esports you'll see
QC itself sucks. The ''champions'' and their abilities are a useless distraction. If all players were equal, it would be a different game.
@@mart446 yes, thats the thing. a pure system without that single champion abilities thing. would be much better.

Rapha is the greatest of all time
Thanks for the spoiler
@@gabrielasher8414 Maybe don't check the comments before watching.
Nice to see you here Enders.
Although looking at the player base of Quake makes me even more depressed than the current state of BF.

By far
24:00 "he's not doing damage and running like a scared animal" then he just won the round with an incredible move. This demonstrates Rapha's experience and proves how great he is.
useless time stamp. the zsx quote about rapha just running away happened minutes earlier, at 21:21.
Goddamn!!! 3 years in a row for raisy.. that must be crushing... but again.. rapha is just the best there is... GGs
4 years in a row, even worse :c
Plus Raisy also took Three 2nd places in QPL Stage Finals - Season 2 Stage 1, Season 1 Stage 2, and Season 1 Stage 2
Perfect example why QC is dead, abilities and extra shields and all that crap
35:59 is heart breaking, the pressure rattled Raisy so much it threw him really off
Yeah, that was something...
yeah that was indeed stressfull to watch aswell
SO happy to see Quakecon live again.
