Grand Finals - RAPHA vs RAISY 

eh? it's been 3 years since his last QC win

​@BOZ_11 and he's done it again

@@maddoxsane4946 really? Captain obvious

​@@BOZ_11 , actually 2 years and 4 months. Because until 2022 there were also so-called "Stage Finals", which were essentially the same QuakeCons, except that they were slightly lower in status. And the last such tournament (QPL Season 2, Stage 2 Finals) - Rapha won at the end of April 2021 And it is precisely taking into account Stage Finals of Seasons 1 and 2 of QPL (because there were no Stage Finals in Season 3 and 4) - it is clear that Rapha significantly outperforms all the other Top Pro players in Quake Champions. Because Rapha won: 1. Quake World Championship 2023 (LAN) 2. QPL Season 2, Stage 2 Finals (Online) 3. QPL Season 2, Stage 1 Finals (Online) 4. Quake World Championship 2020 (Online) 5. QPL Season 1, Stage 2 Finals (LAN) In addition, Rapha took: 3rd place at Quake World Championship 2021 (Online) 3rd place at QPL Season 1, Stage 3 Finals (Online) 3rd place at QPL Season 1 Kickoff / QuakeCon 2019 (LAN) . . . For comparison, here are the results of the rest of the most successful pro league players. Killsen won: 1. Quake World Championship 2022 (LAN) 2. QPL Season 1, Stage 3 Finals (Online) 3. QPL Season 1 Kickoff / QuakeCon 2019 (LAN) In addition, Killsen took: 3rd place at QPL Season 2, Stage 1 Finals (Online) 3rd/4th place with Cypher at QPL Season 1, Stage 1 Finals (LAN) Poor guy Raisy took 2nd place at: 1. Quake World Championship 2023 (LAN) 2. Quake World Championship 2022 (LAN) 3. Quake World Championship 2021 (Online) 4. QPL Season 2, Stage 1 Finals (Online) 5. Quake World Championship 2020 (Online) 6. QPL Season 1, Stage 2 Finals (LAN) 7. QPL Season 1, Stage 2 Finals (LAN) Vengeur won Quake World Championship 2021 (Online), and took: 3rd place at Quake World Championship 2023 (LAN) 3rd place at QPL Season 2, Stage 2 Finals (Online) 3rd place at Quake World Championship 2020 (Online)

As much as i hate it that he's like the given number 1 all the time it's incredibly impressive too.

Getting good is one thing staying good is another consistency is key, you don't always play at the same level every game especially high stakes when the championship is at stake, the pressure was on both of them, but rapha seemed to pull it off and not crumble under pressure, the psychological game is huge as well.

cool spoiler bro

man this guy is the limit !!!!!!!!

Thanks❤

Not on Sarnath

Me too 🙏🏼

Es como el valioso oro: pocos lo tienen.

insanely high entry level, u must be insane to go in there(i do)

Same lol Great game to watch, depressing af to play

​@@beri4138it's awesome in ffa. 1v1 is insanely frustrating and consuming imo. 10 minutes of quake duel feels like 1 hr of work to me

Es cuestión de práctica para mejorar. Nadie empieza ganando. El videojuego te permite partidas de entrenamiento.

Hah I feel you bro,I am bronze league hero myself and I often get absolutely ravaged by some people on the ladder. But if you stick it out it's totaly worth it imo,I just played 5 duels straight and 3 of those were breath takingly awesome(the other 2 were fine aswell just not breath tacking,no bad duels tonight).

Точняк, смотреть классно, но играть боль, зашел первая же бронза тебя уничтожает, как последнего нубаса )))

Have you ever joined any of his streams on twitch? He whines and complains about every single thing. Sometimes, refuses to give any credit to his opponents outright. Watch his match vs Maxter in QPL this season to see his "sportsmanship". He's the goat of quake, no question about it but he's not some "ultimate sportsman"

@@AK-mz9yk I've watched it and yeh I found it annoying to watch and it sure irritated me. He has an easier time complementing his opponents when he's winning. He certainly has a certain arrogance, but it can not be denied that he's one of the best Quake players ever, if not the best. His game sense/decision making is probably the best out there. He is so capable of knowing when to attack and does not seem to run into rockets when he does like most others do. That's a skill, not luck.

@AK-mz9yk tbh not much,, so this is certainly valid insight :P I mostly have seen him just talking about gamecraft in interviews, some helpful videos, and generally just watching him play and how he analyzes a situation. So yeah that's a bit of a bummer

He is american playing in home soil, of course he is crowd favourite.

Was this the last one?

​@@峯悩瑠the official quake twitter account announced that qpl will be discontinued in 2024, not sure whether there will be another quake tournament on quakecon

Sad

​@@QtaroKujo3Sadly there isn't it seems, maybe next year hopefully. Quakecon needs Quake tournaments, maybe they can still happen between fans that go there no problem i am thinking , before the Pro Legue was a thing . But now that it won't happen this year at least , for whatever reason, i hope Ratpha and the others still have a job , they do still play i assume QC right ?

if rapha is the father of quake, i guess toxjq is the grandpa 😆

Факт, рано или поздно Rapha будет сдавать из-за возраста, уже не та реакция. У Raisy есть все шансы стать новым чемпионом. По стилю игры видно в нём кипит энергия. Рафа вытягивает на опыте, но уже запал на исходе. Всё же это опыт против молодости, в итоге старички уступают молодым, такова природа.

buffalo bills

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

they literally, i mean like the EPITOME of being opposites. you are comparing 2 games that are absolutely nothing alike

Can't really compare the two. And I love my Quake games.

More like better than valorant. Lmao

Quake is one of the best fps games but the pro scene is unfortunately, quite stagnant

@@AK-mz9ykjust a very hard game to get new players into. I got into quake a few years ago from watching old q3 and quake live tournaments. People are lovely and helpful when I play, but there’s always going to be a multi year skill gap there which is hard to close. It takes ages to even feel competent, unlike other games where you can do ok from your first match

@@ethanbenson overwatch player tried quake and had a problem with jumping. We've known jumping since super mario bros 3 but going back to homoerectus.

@@user-ib6sq3fs9v to be fair, strafe jumping isn’t easy when you’re new to it. An overwatch player probably wouldn’t know to do things like bind jump to the mouse

Soymale needs his blankie.

He's a roman emperor. gaming edition.

Ye, Rapha won 7 QuakeCons (with Quake Live) While Raisy took FOUR 2nd places IN A ROW (!!) on all QPL QuakeCons (2020-2023) + Three 2nd places at QPL Stage Finals (Season 2 Stage 1, Season 1 Stage 2, and Season 1 Stage 2)

Me encantaría aprender a jugarlo

You can watch the replay of main stream in 4K btw

Becaus3 he could =) but in game you have NP chanse to exploit that.

@@TobiasBlefors-js2rxknowing where your enemy is or if he charges into mega health or Armor?

Quake pro league has been canceled man :(

@@MaliReborn oh shit, didn't catch that! That socks!

KeenCon is what it is called now

Come on, no one?

Also add a lot of blank space at the end of a video, because when it was 2-1 for Rapha and noticed how much time was left I also knew who had won.

He got one map advantage for winning the upper bracket final. That map was not played.

@@calwerz oh thanks for explaining

yes

gdmn for real? It didn´t change for the whole match.... he clearly could, what a shame! Rapha would win anyway though.

it is just for caster/ spectator.. well come to the most difficult and later most enjoyable game of all time !! good luck..

@@huaweiideos3779 thanks for clarifying! cheers

rapha is using dav3 with a hien mid

Same as always

it was still born

Thousands of hours of playing those maps and knowing by heart where every item spawn, player spawn and teleporter are will do that to you.

What are your complaints about the Russians? Dolboeb ti ne russkiy.

rapha

The 2nd part contradicts the 1st
