Tim "DaHanG" Fogarty, former elite Quake Live and Quake Champions dueler and now retired, is the star of the 407th Episode of 'Reflections'. This is episode two of two about DaHanG's career.
DaHanG came from the Quake 2 scene and made his name in Quake 4 playing on the duel circuit of 2007 most notably. Very quickly he was a top prospect and even played in a WSVG final against toxjq, the dominant force of that time. When QuakeLive came around DaHanG moved into it and played for many years.
In late 2009, DaHanG won the IEM American Championship, beating rapha in a Bo5 reverse sweep final. DaHanG would routinely make play-offs of events but his deep runs were more here and there. In late 2010 he made the final of Dreamhack Winter where he was beaten by Cypher. He lost to Cypher again in the QuakeCon 2012 final.
In 2013 a loss to evil denied him back-to-back QuakeCon finals appearances. In 2014 DaHanG again made the QuakeCon final and in familiar fashion was beaten by Cypher. Outside of the biggest champions in the game, DaHanG stood as one of the better players and who could contest seemingly everyone.
In Quake Champions, DaHanG had some success early on. He finished fourth at QuakeCon 2017 and won Dreamhack Winter to end the year. In 2018 he played in the Bo1 format QuakeCon duel championship and finished runner-up to clawz. DaHanG would manage some top four finishes in early Quake Pro League finals.
As well as his duel success, DaHanG was invested in team modes and was part of a dominant Sacrifice 2v2 line-up with fellow countrymen and Team Liquid team-mate rapha. DaHanG's last result was a top eight run at QuakeCon 2021 and he has since retired from competitive play.
In part two, DaHanG discusses the differences between Quake Champions and past games, his win at Dreamhack Winter 2017, the QPL era, why he chose to retire and if he ever dreams about Quake.
This interview was recorded on the 25th of May, 2024.

Great interview! Good to hear from DaHanG. AFPS content is always appreciated. ty
good stuff, wish quake got the viewership it deserves
thank you again big dog. the kids need to learn about quake
Loved watching that period of 2v2 quake with rapha and dahang! Absolute legends, hope Quake makes a big comeback at some point
Great interview sir! Quake is the originator of E Sports, it is very important to do this kind of videos. Thank you!
These Quake history videos will be a significant part of your legacy, Thooorin
"If quake 4 came out tomorrow" 😮😮😮😮 tell 2gd to add crouch sliding to DBT
QC2 on source 2 published by valve. That would end world hunger.
Btw guys, I've been out of Thorin content for some months now (and didnt stay tunned at all) and I was asking myself if he doesnt do any desk work or anything at cs2 events, or any other game? Thanks beforehand ^^

Change that title man, come on.
Change your life.
why? it told me everything i needed to know to want to watch the video or not.
loved these interviews...but hearing that he bootcamped with 2gd, played dbt with them and then had to be payed to play diabotical later...i do not think him and rapha really love quake, I think they love competition, and quake happends to be 'good enough' for them....
also of course people say clawz was 2018 duel champ or w/e year it was. he wont more money than you and rapha your whole careers in one tourny...
