The skill level of all players in these finals was insane. Really good show and also kudos to the casters doing an awesome job making this very entertaining to watch. 😄

Everyone thank Rapha for existing. He keeps quake alive. Otherwise who will represent America? Such a domination fron Eu. Would love see Rapha play in Europe. Great season final

[@sleevzfps]

HUGE shoutout to raisy - being one of the youngest in the roster and that too coming from a counter strike background. you're indeed an inspiration to newcomers.

[@BOZ_11]

he's been a top player for 3 years now man

[@thelaw3536]

Raisy played godlike this series!

[@thelaw3536]

@Daniel Rumbacher I think it's hard to prove that when he was playing so well. It was generally very close and he was well in control overall.

[@gillbates35]

@Daniel Rumbacher Being able to be calm under such high pressure is a part of what makes a champion and rapha has always been on another level when it comes to mental agility/stamina.

[@Nutmegp]

@Daniel Rumbacher yeah it's nothing to do with Rapha having almost 20 years of experience and Raisy being quite new lmao

[@billbrasky1651]

At this point the only thing that can beat Rapha is carpal tunnel syndrome.

Hes such a good role model because hes very aware of that actually. On streams he mentioned how important it is keeping his hand and arm healthy.

[@megaslayercho]

@dr4kz0r True,age matters in games with nearly infinite skillcap on speed and reflex like quake and starcraft,getting old sucks. This is why I love watching rapha play,I see him getting often mechanicly outmatched by some oponent with insane aim,yet rapha is like batman fighting superman,he wins with experience,good tactical play and stone cold mentality.

Very close and well played both - a worthy final. As others have said, if only there was no DK...we would have had a classic final map and it could have gone either way. I have a feeling it could be these 2 guys again in the next final. Great season!

[@TheRealFaceyNeck]

Incredible. I won't spoil who won the final, I'll just say that both Rapha and Raisy played some absolutely amazing games. Props to both, there were a BUNCH of nail-biting moments in this one.

[@naturecollision]

just finished watching...this was impressive, I don't even have the game, but I used to play lots of Q3A. damn impressive. excellent esports. I was like "f-me" 5 times each map...the shots, some of them so out there...

[@robology1388]

Great series that didn't disapoint

[@LazarheaD]

That Death Knight, man. Too sad.

[@davorbrijacak]

I hope he gets a buff/rework. He probably should get air control to match the Quake 1 flavor and since there's no medium air control champs, but that would make him too similar to Sorlag. In that case I'd remove damage from spit and instead make it reveal champs who step on it, but make its duration both on floor and champs longer and size bigger to make it like a zoning tool, also flavor wise it's great since Sorlag is a hunter who uses it to track her prey. As for DK passive it's way too niche but it's flavorful.

[@addlemm44]

It was a perfect end.

[@LazarheaD]

@@davorbrijacak I would make the fire wave half as long as the acid spit, but player is unable to heal when on fire. It would turn into a great denial skill.

[@grain2854]

I think raisy only picked dk because he didn't expect himself to make it that far, he would've won with a good champion pick for sure.

[@anxietysucks4660]

@@davorbrijacak DK should have the ability to use lava or fire as a healing “blood pool.”

[@gloatsticks]

Good duel, I was rooting for Raisy, but still a really good series!

[@srdjanhulak]

GGs both! I must say something: Raisy had a rail-day-of-his-life. If it was just a "standard day" it would be sth like 4:1 or 4:2 in games at max. Rapha on the other hand is getting so emotional at times, so frustrated which is untypical for him? He looks a emotionally drained. Strange finale but awesome to watch! Raisy with nothing to lose and Rapha with his opponent having a rail-day on his hands in the final. Shame about DK pick but respect to Rapha! GG glad the zis is Rapha won :fanboy: :D

50:45 what happened?

[@alexgrenlie862]

Fortylions really nailed the Groucho Marx look.

[@phid]

I see a lot of complaints about DK, but Raisy had to have known he had last pick on that map. If he didn't want DK, he should have banned him instead of Scalebearer and then he could have used SB instead (or Eisen if Rapha chose SB on Ruins). Raisy had to of been able to guess the matchups of the next three maps when doing the ban. For better or worse, the pick/ban phase is a part of QC that shouldn't be glossed over.

[@rowolta]

What happened to the cnz Vs toxjq in the looser bracket? There are no win loss ratio in the chart. Walk over?

[@chuckgraham527]

Toxic was taken out by Garpy from challengers

[@rowolta]

@@chuckgraham527 ok, but the question is why they rendered toxjq (vs cnz) in the looser bracket when he did not play in the looser bracket. Flaw in the implementation of the scoreboard? See here: quake.pglesports.com/

[@rowolta]

e.g. it looks like he was eliminated by cnz.

[@Trivialdm]

Raisy was much better than in the last finals against Rapha! But... he doomed himself with picking Death Knight vs. Keel on the last map. Come on, you see any realistic chance to beat Rapha with the lousy Death Knight? Sorry, I do not. However... respect to Raisy. He improved his game. The future belongs him.

[@MxDOOM]

Only DK was left for last pick

[@Trivialdm]

Rapha had Keel for last pick, Raisy only Death Knight... hmm.. a bitter taste.

WTF is a shotty pippin?

[@eD8yGames]

GGs !! But why does the guy coming from Winners Bracket get one map win by default?? That makes no sense & does NOT happen in any other sport ! Keep it fair !

[@jtjdrums]

It's fair. He played at a level which earned him that map. Raisy could have won the bracket and achieved that one map buffer, but didn't. He was lucky that this particular sport allowed him another crack at Rapha with a loser's bracket. Clearly there should be a reward/ advantage for the player who has won the upper tier, otherwise it's only a bragging right.

[@calwerz]

@@jtjdrums RAISY played 3 BO5 against BaSe, cYpheR and k1llsen, while rapha could rest and analyze his playstyle. Rapha also had the seed advantage. Why it is not enough of an advantage?!

[@jtjdrums]

@@calwerz Raisy put himself in that position of having to battle up hill all the time. All credit to him, but more credit to Rapha for his almost flawless performance in his bracket. He deserved to have the advantage, obviously, because he'd played the cleaner tournament overall. His loss-to-wins ratio couldn't illustrate that any more clearly. It was unprecedented.

[@calwerz]

@@jtjdrums Yes, which was already a (deserved) disadvantage. My question: why it is not enough?

[@jtjdrums]

@@calwerz because if the loser gets a deserved disadvantage then there has to be recognition for winning the winner's bracket, other than bragging rights.
