Grand Finals - RAPHA vs RAISY

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

Rapha still playing, still improving, still winning. Man's been on top for so long, it's so impressive!

[@Tier4Jean]

​@@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)

7th QuakeCon tittle for the one and only Rapha... Congrats my man!!! First time Rapha won a QuakeCon tournament I was in my early 20s, now I am approaching the 40s and the man still going hard at it, undoubtably the greatest Quake player of all time.

[@areus19891]

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

[@saudude2174]

Seeing rapha win this Quake con so effortlessly I'm starting to think he hasn't been just venting when complaining about problems with game sensitivity and lags. He clearly showed that in LAN conditions, he performs much better than he usually does during the season.

[@Tier4Jean]

Voice inside Raisy's head when he realized that he was losing the match to Rapha in winners bracket, and falls into losers bracket: - Ah sh*t, here we go again... Voice inside Raisy's head when he realized that he would have to play Grand Finals with Rapha, and when he started losing this match too: - AH SH*T, HERE WE GO AGAIN... Congratulations to Rapha on his 7th QuakeCon win!! And congrats to poor guy Raisy on his fourth in a row 2nd place at QuakeCon (no disrespect) :c

[@eonmark847]

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 ?

[@BBOY.IIMPACT]

I didn't know Mads Mikkelsen was such an fps demon.

[@treschlet]

Rapha is a crowd favorite not just because he's good, but because he's just the ultimate sportsman. Every disadvantage, every weakness, every challenge just becomes a puzzle for him to solve. Not only does that mean that he keeps things constructive and positive, but it also means he can really talk clearly about his mental process and the flow of the game like no one else can. He's both a champion level player and an amazing ambassador for the game; a rare combination

[@AK-mz9yk]

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"

[@draregrevtaam1147]

@@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.

[@treschlet]

@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

[@gopherzorro]

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

[@zuffin1864]

Quake is one of the few games with grassroots esports spanning decades. If it will outlive other esport scenes because of it

[@kaiserwasd]

[@calwerz]

RAISY rocks. Cooller, evil, DaHang, they are legends of the game, yet none of them won a QuakeCon either. They all managed to place 2nd 3 times. RAISY: 4 times. RAISY already etched his name into Quake history. And RAISY is still young, still has plenty of time to even win a QuakeCon. Actually he has the highest chance to win from those who never won yet.

[@John_Johnson746]

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.

[@notturok7841]

Rapha is just the dad of quake and has to school his boys even though he loves them very much and wants them to improve. What an awesome dad

Raisy will forever be the second greatest Quake player. And that's no shade to him. He may not have all the wins, but his consistency as a top force is impressive. He is essentially the final boss.

[@LightingRevenant]

Awesome plays. You guys need to do something about the marketing of this game, I just played it recently after quite some time and honestly, it got great again. Don't let it die.

[@mach1nerose]

RAISY keeps doing the same mistakes through the years, it really sad and kinda frustrating to watch. Flaws: A) picks - Scale on Ruins on LAN with so many champs left? xD Visor on Awoken while Doom still left ? (I realize he might have been trying to take it away from Rapha for the future games, but thats not the way to play this). The WB final were even worse for him. B) Bans - in the WBFinal, he didnt ban Keep. Before anyone says Raisy's keep. Rapha is F** INSANE on that map. He even mentioned it in one interview its the best map of his in comparison to others, bcs there is no rail involved, which can bring some outer elements from the game away.

[@mach1nerose]

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
