NICE ! thanks Thorin this was awesome one to do, was awesome to hear he was a Quake 2 player and it was so easy to relate to his Quake 2 being first love and having its own special feel, and the trickjumping passion. Didn't know you were an oldskool Quake player either. My respect for you has grown :D Congrats to TL for winning Dreamhack Denver Sacrifice ! DaHang was god tier in his role and rapha being the well rounded and intelligent, straight up wise dude he is, it looks like they have a serious upward trajectory. Really looking forward to seeing if they can win Sacrifice at Dreamhack Winter
Epitaph/Unit3d/Weenis here, used to play with Dahang in Q2, real nice guy and great player. Q2 had an awesome community, the people there were just awesome. If anyone that sees this from Q2 that knows me - Hi - and I miss playing that game!
Reflections with Vo0 would be dope! Especially, as we heard the painkiller story out of Fatal1tys view, it would be interessting to hear Vo0s thoughts.
quake = the best fps from the early days of q1 to now with qc, Thooorin keep up the great job with this & ppl keep playing the best fps multiplayer game ... it needs us to spread the love by sharing =)
@Thooorin it looks like Tim "DaHanG" Fogarty chose to withhold some facts in this interview. To answer your repeat questions about how he mysteriously arrived into the esports scene, it was because I noticed his improving performance on quake4 servers and decided to sponsor him under the team: 50 Calibre gaming. Several thousand dollars, of pay including digitallife, LANWAR, quakecon, hotels and airfare, was spent to help him get to the next level. It was because of this personal sponsorship that EG was then able to notice his performance and continue to offer stipends.
"People might think that but to me you're not an oldschool player!" Yeah, Thorin, that's because you've been arround the e-sports scene basically since they put up Stone Henge ;p!!
FUCK YEAHHHH !!! DAHANG THE DOUBLE CHAMP DOES WHAT THE FOOK HE WANTS !!!!!! Congrats DREAMHACK WINTER DUEL AND SACRIFICE CHAMPIONS DAHANG AND TEAM LIQUID !!!!!!!! Fucking amazing tournament the semi final with STACKED and 2Z last round was the most insane shit ever, complete chaos for ages at 99% vs 99% lol.. a must see
I agreed at the time and in a subjective sense, of course.. but the whole CONTROL grip after first advantage from first big engagement is also a bit questionable. The amount of 10-0 wins and losses is at least some relfection of it. But yeah, it was such an addiction, even straight DM was worthy, the game felt so good
Listening to any talk of ctf that isn't from quake2 is not only pitiful, it's hilarious. 30sec power ups, no grapple. 2 simple reasons (among hundreds of others) is why ctf was so poor and unpopular after quake2. Q2ctf is unparalleled
jeez, I wonder how hard they bit into their own asses after dropping OW for a shitgame like QC that has a playerbase of like ~500, LOL. It's like investing into AOL instead of Bitcoin these days.
Reflection with toxjq next
Amazing interview, thank you for still covering Quake.

Q2 teamplay THE BEST!
49:05 cooller said: let the midskilled players play for top
get cooller.
Quake 2 had the best 1v1, Team DM, and CTF. Anyone who says otherwise simply hasn't played it.
agreed

What a shit reason.
Absolutely, what Q3 really needed was moving slowly up ladders
👌👌

Q3 CPM CTF was pretty good tho
