live genius

yeah I checked my mail and it said the regionals are on AT 3 IN THE MORNING.

Hey user, how are you doing. I baked you some fresh OC NIGGA.

I'm a QL and QC player, I follow the competition

ARGGGG

...

...

is there some tournament going on?
wheres the link?

twitch dot tv/quakechampions

Nicely done user, here is another one if you feel like meming it up.

So Cypher vs Cooller for EU final?

...

why the fuck do you say this when no one is even talking about reflex
i'm genuinely intrigued

kek perhaps he is so smug because he single handedly annihilated the strogg

How the fuck did Bitterman get that shit on his head anyways? He was just a normal human during Q2, right? Did he get partially stroggified inbetween Q2 and Q3 or something?

Yep.

Yes to what
Use your words niBBa

look mommy i replied to myself by accideent again xddd
brb kms

The fuck you mean B?

You said
>Did he get partially stroggified inbetween Q2 and Q3 or something?
So I said
>Yep.

Okay, but was he still a normal human being during Q2?

Yes. He was a normal human in Q2. He got captured, stroggified, and sent to the Arena Eternal by Q3.

thanks family
let me go take my pills now

Is Rapha NA's only hope? I can't think of anyone else that could compete

don't watch NA much but what about dahang?

>play.eslgaming.com/quake/global/quakechampions/major/1on1-qwc-qualifier-2-north-america/rankings/
Dahang is in the bracket, also an Aussie.

how do the regionals work? how many go to qcon

Learning to speedHUH q1 is fun

>carnage got owned
>Vedmedik against DaHang
>rapha against an AUS

rip

oh man , q1 speed runs ~ those were the days , some of the tricks were insane difficult though, it was fun trying to run maps that hadnt been done before too.

Also, Q2!Bitterman looked like Grunt.

Nice. Which source port is that?

>2nd complete SS run ever
>It's 12 seconds slower than my PB
fug

JoeQuake v0.15 build 5288

Q1 speedrunning may not be in it's prime anymore, but it's still just as fun of a game to speedrun as before (if not more fun due to more modern ports).

also I wanted to add that it's not a source port, source ports have different physics compared to vQ1

...

Nice meme

how is quake champions?

Haven't played since the hotfix, shit still looks wonky as fuck on the regional stream though.

It's not? Quakespasm is pretty vanilla, and it's still a source port.

Why can Clutch see Nyx through his shield?
Is this a bug or what?

Surprisingly smooth.
Rockets don't register 5% of the time. (Down from 20% last patch)
Maps still have minor "invisible geometry" pieces you can get stuck on for like half a second, especially when flying into edges/platforms (being too low to land on them)
The gameplay is smooth and fun.

Don't judge the game from spectator cam on stream. It has serious issues, the spectator feature as a whole is unpolished.

It was a bug in early cbt, and then they decided to leave it in. :^)

4 from upper bracket, 8 from lower.
12 EU, 12 NA, 4 guys from straya and 4 guys that qualify on the BYOC right on QCon.

Qcon is going to be pretty big this year it seems

Quakecon is almost always very busy.

Gonna try and go this year, will try and post anything interesting here

Why am I downloading this patch twice in a row?

Fucking dogshit trash game, shit launcher, retarded devs who play PUBG.

>hiding name

To be perfectly honest senpaitchi desune, PUBG looks like fun, even if it is slow retarded fun.

>vo0 vs cooller

you know sponge is community manager or something

...

Gonna be a good match, hopefully better than Tox getting ass raped

>toxic the aim god
>plays like shit
>gets destroyed

Uhmm, toxtards?
He doesnt' even shoot that good as the other pros. Nothing spectacular.

since when is tox absolute dogshit

since 10% lg
your average overtard hits 12%

and you hit about 23%.
You shouldn't trashtalk people who would absolutely wipe the floor with you without ever putting in a single drop of effort.

It's a classic example of new blood "gitting gud" and beating a quake-dad.

Whats coolers IQ?

not an argument

raisy won because he was better at map control than toxjq.

1045 hp healed vs 340
7 megas vs 2

and more damage
and more accuracy
and tox was shit

>It's a classic example of new blood "gitting gud" and beating a quake-dad.

Rapha destroyed pretty much all "quake dads" and he started to play in Quake pretty recently.

vo0 is so fun to watch shame hes out

...

>vo0 lost

It was a close match, probably one of the best if not the best today!

thanks god

Yeah, it was pretty damn intense. vo0 did some questionable minor mistakes that ended up biting him in the ass. Are there any CPM-dads remaining? They're the only ones who make the game exciting enough to me, along with Q4 dads and that one QW dad.

>-dads
stop it you fuck
you make me feel old and useless

It's okay, I'm at a Quake-dad age too, except I'm still giddy about having learned how to strafe jump quite recently, while my friends are getting married left and right and stopped playing games.

People called good Quake players "dads" back in 90s.
I assume it comes from Russian Quake scene where "oтeц" (dad) means high skilled player.

>ranger is balanced
what a good joke

>na qualifiers

who the fuck cares LAMPO

I assume there are some in NA and maybe some who will try with BYOC, CPMA dudes would know better though.

brains > aim

>brains
>swap to rail while sneaking
pick 1

Dahang is the only human who can use the SNG effectively, is there hope for NA yet?

>SNG
sniggers?

Super Nail Gun, the Plasma not Plasma gun

oh
i fucking hate that gun
cant use it for shti

Literally just played my first three games.

Not too sure how I feel about some of these guns, I'm also probably way out of my depth because it's the first real PC Shooter I'm playing since I'm coming from being a console cunt.

Any tips?

get gud

Good one m8 :^)

Keep playing check how you move and improve.

the main guns to keep track of are rocket launcher, lightning gun and railgun

remap your keys for guns and other stuff like that, read up on strafe jumping and quake movement in general (if you haven't already)

there's a lot of quakedads on the loose, so don't sweat it if you're not doing too well, try to have fun and learn from your mistakes

Thanks dudes.

How's the arena shooter community in general? I'm planning on getting Lawbreakers tomorrow since the beta was fun.

I used to play a lot of Halo 2 Multiplayer back in the day, so I thought I'd enjoy this because of the whole power weapons and stuff. Hopefully I wont be a shitter for too long.

:^)
