Quake Live: CAN I STILL FRAG WHEN I'M 40 AND OLDER?

Fatal1ty a 12x FPS World Champion and Esports Hall of Famer takes on one of his longtime gaming buds, Prognostic. Here you'll see Fatal1ty play Q3DM6, Pro-Tourney 4 & Pro-Tourney 2 in Quake Live (Quake III Arena).

[@Fatal1tyTV]

Always a favorite to go back to one of the games I started my professional career with. 👊

[@ttully]

Nice upload, thanks for the content 10:30 nice rails

thanks for the content! I've been following you since the 2000s!

More Quake we need :)

[@dannyevans3884]

I have to agree we need more quake, i havent watched u in a long while and this randomly popped up for me and im glad it did good watch, will be waiting for more 😁

[@gopherboat1375]

Can still see you have the basics and theory down well, if you played and got mechanics on board I sure you could compete again

[@NoName-st6zc]

Fatal1ty playing quake? That's some next level nostalgia.

[@dakota1216]

No way you would remember this. But I met you at Quakecon '01 and got to play you 1v1 on Quake. I got a tee-shirt that you signed. I spent the next few years explaining who you were to all the other middle schoolers. Glad to see all is well with you bro, never stop frag'n

[@stun71]

I'm 52 and still at it. Frag on!

[@unclerhombus]

Heck yes 💪

[@Anonymous-iw4hx]

oh yeah!

[@Venserql]

I remember watching your demo and seeing you jump from bridge to rail backwards during a competitive match. That was the coolest shit I saw in the early days.

[@huaweiideos3779]

i remember !

[@npmvl]

Man seeing this after loosing the family member who showed me this and told me about you.. hits hard. You're a legend and never forgotten! Love it that you're still active and fragging along. Keep it up @Fatal1ty :)

[@le4therf4ce]

Fat, with QL coming back, I hope you decide to come back with some of the legends. Would be amazing to see you get a month of practice in and show these young’uns how it’s done. You look so happy playing this again.

[@entreri76x]

Same , won 10 one v ones in a row the other night . God I miss quake. started competitive multiplayer with doom 2 in 1995 right after graduating high school and jumped into quake one in 1996 . I mostly play 2042 and cod now and still lead the leaderboards in the majority of my matches at the young age of 46. Honestly, still playing at the same level when I was 19. Probably a little better because I’m more patient 😂

Great video. Quake Live is so much fun

[@MrRaZ13L]

Nunca serás viejo para Quake... Fuiste mí inspiración para jugar y mejorar en Quake 3. Me da muchísimo gusto verte jugar QUAKE nuevamente. Espero poder jugar contigo, un 1vs1 algún día. Saludos desde Argentina!!!

[@gprn3]

Dont care u have more than 40, u'll always get fun with this game.

[@Wahinies]

The only difference now is the advancements of mice and polling rates of 1KHz with LCD monitors that only a few years ago caught up to CRTs with refresh rates greater than 60Hz

[@fragba1t]

The backwards bridge to rail! I'm lucky if I can do that forwards still 😄

Same. ^^

when you start practicing using the main ledge and not the little side edge that's a little lower, that's when it starts gettin real inconsistent 😅

nice to see you back mr wendel sir, i remember qcon 2k highlights and the comeback vs All*Aim on dm6 that leaded me to train dm6 and later on pro-q3dm6 so hard :) alot changed so far and evolved you play very oldschool fashion i love that so much. hope u get into it and deliver us hardcores and anybody else nice content with q3/ql :)

[@iwasthere236]

Movement Rapha, Aiming Fatal1ty no arguments.

[@JohnDoe-ip3oq]

Doing regular streams of this might single handedly bring back quake popularity. To this day nothing has surpassed quake 3, IMO.

[@radosawweidemann4944]

Really nice to see. Give us a showmatch between you and Zero4.

[@Zenixmoo]

The GOAT back in the arena.

[@user-jd1mq8gg7e]

lol cypher, evil rapha were next level. he is a dinosaur who lived before real GOATs.

[@razorm3127]

​@@user-jd1mq8gg7e , Rapha is next level indeed, but he is next level comparing to ANY 1v1 Quake player Ever in Entire Quake history Cypher is better in Quake than Fatal1ty too, because more Top results in Multiple Quake games, than Fatal1ty But Evil is Much Lower level than Fatal1ty. Cause even in Quake Live, Evil was Top 3, he was A Lot weaker than Rapha and Cypher. Also Evil won Big (tier 1-1,5) Quake tournament only 1 time (DreamHack Winter 2012) While Fatal1ty was Top 2 in Quake 3, and he won tier1 Quake 3 tournament (Razer CPL 2000), and two tier1-1,5 ones (WCG Challenge 2000 and BattleTop Universal Challenge 2000). Also Fatal1ty won Big tournaments in Doom 3, Unreal Tournament 2003, and other shooter games (Painkiller and some "Aliens versus Predator 2" game)

[@user-jd1mq8gg7e]

@@razorm3127 evel much lower than Rapha and Cypher? lol evil beaten cypher and rapha many times. you dont know what u are talking about

[@razorm3127]

​@@user-jd1mq8gg7e , unlike you, I know very well what I'm talking about Evil Much worse than Rapha and Cypher. Because even in Quake Live, "the indicator" of the best player - is the number of tier1 tournaments he has won. And Evil won only 1 tier1 tournament (DreamHack Winter 2012) And here are tier1 tournaments, that Rapha won: 1. QuakeCon 2016. Rapha defeated Evil in Grand Finals 2. QuakeCon 2016. Rapha defeated Evil in Grand Finals again 3. QuakeCon 2016. Rapha defeated Evil in Grand Finals too 4. DreamHack Summer 2012. Evil is defeated by Cypher in Quarter Final 5. QuakeCon 2011 6. IEM5 World 2011 7. DreamHack Winter 2010 Finals 8. ESWC 2010 Finals 9. IEM4 World Finals 10. QuakeCon 2009 Also Rapha won $127000 Prize money in QL, while Evil won only $47000 So Evil is still one of the Best Quake Live players, but not even close to Rapha level

[@razorm3127]

​@@user-jd1mq8gg7e , and now time for Cypher. Tier1 tournaments he won: 1. QuakeCon 2014. Cypher defeated Evil in Semi Final 2. DreamHack Winter 2013. Evil was defeated by Rapha in Semi Final 3. QuakeCon 2012 4. DreamHack Winter 2011 5. DreamHack Summer 2011 (general prize pool is maybe like tier1,5 , but prize for top1 is still big enough). Evil died even during group stage here (and he lost group stage match to Cypher) 6. UGC 2011 (close to tier1,5 too) 7. DreamHack Winter 2010 8. QuakeCon 2010 9. IEM4 European Finals 10. QuakeCon 2008 And Cypher won $114000 Prize money (vs still $47000 by Evil). So result is same as with Rapha - Evil is A Lot lower than Cypher's level * * * * * So as you can see, in the most important tournaments (tier1 ones, with biggest money prize and prestige) - Evil almost always lost to either Rapha or Cypher, constantly remaining only one or two steps away from first place Yes, Evil still won both Rapha and Cypher during DreamHack Winter 2012 (tier1 tournament, where Evil won top1). But it doesn't matter much, cause it is like when you won only 2 rounds and lost 10 in boxing match

Always best to see Quake Live. You forgot com_max 250 and you don’t like to play with lightmaps where it removes the map textures so you get clean white look?

Hi Fatal1ty the oldschool quaker #1. back in early 2000's when at the top of your focus, would you say your reflexes were around 170ms or even closer to 150ms? with them 125hz+ monitors back then?
