Rapha vs Evil - QL Duel, Grand Final (QuakeCon 2016)

[@MaitredeDieu]

This is Quake duelling at its finest: smart play choices, impressive endurance, almost perfect execution, epic comebacks, the two best players pushed to their limits, hysterical commentators, public on their knees. Historical e-sport. Both players deserve to win.

[@johannsmith5697]

the only reason why they didnt both win, is because someone has to win

That's the greatest thing i've ever seen, I'm crying. I truly feel sorry for everyone who doesn't play quake and can't appreciate this masterpiece.

[@glallalalal]

Even if you hated gaming and were aged 74 you would still love and appreciate that game

[@TOCS94]

And almost nobody I know cares or even know about the game. I once had a discussion with a few people at a local LAN about how I thought the FPS scene was boring and casual compared to just 10 years ago. It's all CS:GO now and it just doesn't compare to the skill and mindset you need to do what these two just did in that grand final. They heavily disagreed and thought Quake was a boring game for spectators -- I should probably just show them this. One of the guys even said he didn't think Quake was very fast-paced... and he even watched the pro scene for a while and used to play Quake II years ago.

[@RESPBROADCAST]

don't be sorry! it's like hard rock (quake) and pop music (overwatch).

[@unfinest]

Well, if we go by mods like 'CPMA' then 'Q2-RO' aka 'InstaGib' destroys everything. The Hook is just lightning! So dunno about that "cpm is a bazillion times faster than" .... ;) //Former World Champion and best friend with Purri's mother. XOXO *FniZZ* ;) .. [URX]/[CyC]

[@jmm00702]

***** instagib was a casual shit mod, just like extreme, and cpm is still fuckloads of times faster. I`ve got several world records on defrag in many different maps and both physics, have played q1/qw and over 30 mods in both q2 and q3, and cpm maps require yourself to handle movement and land a plasma gazboost at 5k ups while timing it with a fucking farshot double rox. Instant weapon switches added to the depth of combined strafejumping+air control+clipping+gbs+obs and all its variations+fbs makes cpm insanely fast the better you get, and is to this day the holy grail of the fps elitism that killed the genre off, having an uncapped skill ceiling that throws any newcomer off

[@algo2957]

This was the last Quake Live tourney to be had at Quakecon (2017 onwards was Quake Champions). What a treat this final was. It was like Quake Live's swan song.

I can't believe how fucking perfect this final was! Man, if Evil had just a few more seconds, there's no telling how this would've gone. Incredible! Rapha and Evil are such amazing players. Great job not giving up at any point, guys. Truly down to the wire!

[@seanbradford8193]

Quake is the most entertaining spectator eSport.

[@SarcofagoBlackThrash]

This has to be the absolute highlight of how professional and extremely high skilled the Quake pros really are. This is the most intense Duel finals I've ever witnessed (been watching them since the days Fatality was still around) and I have to say it's really appropriate how the series was left behind, given this was the last Quake Live tournament, it was a legendary showdown. Legendary plays from both players. Mad respect for this match.

DDK and Zoot the OG casters. Love it. What an absolutely banger of a final.

[@gmannumerouno]

I've said this on an old Qaukecon video.... I'm a noob to the Quake games but I truly love watching these tourneys. The meta game is so amazing, it's something other shooters just doesn't have. I have to give credit to Rapha, Evil, Cooler, Toxic for truly showing the game at peak performances. I love this game and the community.

[@AlexeyFilippenkoPlummet]

Cypher definetely deserves a credit too

[@gmannumerouno]

Alexey Filippenko yes yes indeed. There are a few others as well I just forgot some names.

[@zambo6453]

Dahang was always my personal favourite; cypher and cooler edge him out for game and rapha for strategy but his playstyle is so fun to watch and balls out. there are almost too many excellent players to mention. Zero4, the guy who mentored Rapha, had some insane duels with him on vertical vengeance back in the day.

[@XSFlanger]

This was the most intense fucking final, I've ever seen! I wish this game had the same amount of players CSGO does. Would be the best thing in the online fps ever :D

[@KARTIKEYA007]

"pro"cod and csgo matches look a pile of shit in comparison to this masterpiece.

[@StephenChapman]

There's no flashiness in those games. Movement and physics are much more sterile, allowing for very little expression like Quake allows. That alone makes Quake such a superior game to play tactically, and to watch! I mean, props to pro CS players; I support gaming and e-sports across the board, but nothing touches a pro Quake match, especially between the likes of Rapha and Evil!

[@Thereal13aL]

cs is more about slow paced tactics while quake is fast paced and takes more solo skill in aim, timing and esp. movement

[@RESPBROADCAST]

dunno about cod, cs:go is a good game, but it's really weird that eveyone forgot who is grandfather of esports, it's quake!

[@nerdstrangler4804]

Quake takes more skill in everything. CS initially got popular because it was a casual friendly alternative to quake and UT at the time. Thanks to the de-emphasis on reflexes and the added emphasis on camping.. or "slow paced tactics" as you like to call it. CS was the original dudebro shooter.

[@KARTIKEYA007]

Boner Patrol still CS atleast requirs some skill(even though its mostly camping, but still need skill to aim atleast), but cod is just a playground for horny teenagers who dont even come to play. Just name yourself a girl and see the obscenity those shitheads spew out, it's sad that quake champions want to attract little shitheads like that. I just hope it will be a REAL quake, not some dumbed down BS.

[@robyn9901]

Wow, what an amazing final! There is nothing else like Quake.

[@davideandroid1254]

This is one of the most stunning finals I've ever seen...many congratulations to the perfect executor Evil and to the True Quake Champion rapha. Cooller, Cypher, where were you? Without them Quake has a different taste... However, if this is the last great QL lan, then this final can be considered a beautiful epitaph of a deep, pure, beautiful game.

[@yrrahyrrah]

Cooller already made his comeback in 2015 I think. That was truly amazing, watching him perform in the smaller leagues and going so far in quakecon. Story of that year. Too bad the format kind of ruined it.

[@davideandroid1254]

harrythedevil that's true. Cooller already made his comeback. Now that the professional e-sport history of this game is ended, watching these matches of QL from an "historical" point of view make me think how high Rapha, Evil and Cypher set the skill ceiling. But Cooller adapted himself to 4 different Quake games now, he was and still is a top contender in every one of these games, always battling in finals and in the later stages of tournaments, long after the moment he was the undisputed number 1. He became a top contender in Quake 3 in 2002 and still is a top contender in Quake Champions in 2017, after being Dreamhack champion of Overwatch, after many, many finals and victories in QL, Q4, Q3. Rapha and Evil reached an incredibly high level of QL in this final, but still I'm similary impressed by Cooller's ability to adapt to different games and play at the very top level in each of them. That said, I'm convinced that none player in history has accomplished what Rapha has. 5 Quakecons, 2 IEM world championship, ESWC, and so on...

[@Keksigrilli]

I have a really large screen and your comment popped right in my face when the page loaded. This is basic stuff and even advised, you should know better

[@AlexeyFilippenkoPlummet]

Absolutely fantastic finals. ddk's and zoot's emotions after that plot twist on the 9th overtime were immense, histerical, brilliant. And you know that they are not forcing themselves to emote like many other commentators do, Quake commentators are genuine in that regard. Ddk's breath was literally taken away, he became red as a tomato after that epic moment lol P.S.: evil deserved to finally win QuakeCon and earn Russia its first QuakeLive world title. I feel like this time rapha was simply considerably more lucky. Look at how many times he ran away with 10 hp, crazy. Although evil made a couple of painful mistiming mistakes on the last map. Close amazing games. But after being home for top level Quake for so many years, we and evil still don't have the title :(

[@mrbdzz]

I feel for evil. He has certainly the best combat skills IMO, and he's long due the title. But it's no coincidence that Rapha keeps winning him, as he did in the winners finals and in the group stage. Rapha just plays it tactically better. With a little better discipline, Evil would be absolutely unbeatable.

[@simovihinen875]

Commiserations! I think Rapha just has a few more real strengths as a player. It may have looked like he got lucky running away, but at the same time if he had been fazed by the situation, his reflexes etc. may have slowed him down just those extra 10 hp. Evil reminds me of Tox. A machine. In the interviews Rapha shows emotions at least. That's why I have a difficult time cheering for Evil as opposed to someone like Base or Cooller. Also why do we have to make it about nations? That's so gay, but I know nationalism is a big thing in Russia. (and to be exact Russia has titles in TDM) But yeah best finals ever...

[@SUNSPYtm]

Yeah rapha has always been the most complete player IMHO. His positional play has often got him out of tight situations and gotten victories over slightly superior aimers. Agree with you guys though, sad there can only be one winner

The cerimony in the end should have been: k1llsen walks on stage, gets his third place cheque, walks off, then evil gets his second place cheque, then finally rapha gets the trophy and gets to say his piece. This way rapha would have had time to breathe and relax after the tense matches.

Quake was big part of my life from quake 2 to quake 3 cpm and ra3 to quake live. I don't play games anymore since my values have changed over time, but that's life... There is no other game or sport that requires such impeccable skill. I have never had that admire to any person but the pros in quake scene. Even though my field of work requires a lot dedication.

[@davideandroid1254]

The first map here was crucial (not that the others were less important), Evil was playing some sublime Quake and had everything under his control because score was on his side, he was leading 2-0. He should have secured that map and tie the series on 1-1. It's the only map in this series where the result was for a lot of time mainly in his hands. But at 11:35 (4:57 in game) he should have gone aggressive and finish rapha who was very low in stack. Red was not respawning anytime soon and Evil could have taken the Mega after the kill or heavily damage a rapha without weapons if after the eventual frag he respawned in that area and stole the mega left by Evil. In most cases the result would have been 3-0 for Evil with a very high chance to mantain full map control. Instead he has gone for the secure and passive choice and that was the first serious error in my opinion after 4 minutes of excellent play. And then at 14:37 (7:55 in game) he failed to deliver a lot of damage to rapha who stole the Mega and then got full map control very easily. After that Evil went too passive and rapha had the possibility to pull of the miracle and he succeeded. Evil simply shouldn't never have left that possibility to exist. I know that in Elder something similar happened at inverteded sides but in that map no player had full control of the situation for 8 minutes. In the last three maps both players had more of less their chances, but the first in my opinion was lost by Evil after that start, with that couple of errors. And this is why rapha was so strong in this game. He punished errors like no one, he was capable of using the most little things to his advantage. The greatest mind to ever play this game, along with Cooller maybe.

Watching Evil's play and rail connections is lovely but at the end defense gets the title as Rapha did most of the times. Rapha deserved the championship but that does not stop me enjoying Evil'e play much more.

[@StupendousMand]

If someone failed to understand the meaning, Italy is playing defensive long ball crap, where The Netherlands is playing offensive football. Rapha is defensive, running and hiding all the time, where Evil is more like The Netherlands, attacking like a boss.

It's the exact same game except you don't have to install a thousand mods to play competetively, and it makes approximately 200% more sense for newcomers. The only reason to hate on QL is it splits the AFPS playerbase even further, any other critique is just utterly petty.

[@martintuskevicius8084]

I'm confused about the format of the grand finals. I thought this was a best of three. rapha won for first map, the evil won the second two, so I thought that was the end of it. However there was a fourth map. Why? How did rapha with when the score was 2-2?

[@NicolasSzymanski]

It was a best of five. Prior matches were best of 3, but usually you can expect a 'grand final' to have a few more games in them. You already answered your own question-- There was another map after 2-2, that means there were a total of 5 rounds, it was a best of 5.

[@martintuskevicius8084]

But if it was a best of five, the winner needs to win three of the five matches. However, the video showed rapha winning two matches, and evil winning two matches. No one won three.

[@NicolasSzymanski]

I've skimmed through the video, and the first map begins with Rapha actually having one point to begin with. This is likely due to him having come in from the Winner's bracket. Some games/tournaments will give winner bracket folk a point, sort of how like in Smash's EVO, the losers bracket finalist needs to essentially win the first bo5 for a reset into the next bo5. So, there's an earlier video where Rapha beats Evil in a bo3, so I assume that's the case. I was confused at first, because for the first few minutes of the first map it said 0-0.

[@NZyoutube]

I think Evil must've come from the loser's bracket? And would have to win 3 to make up?

[@martintuskevicius8084]

I think you guys are right about that. Admittedly, the casters could have clarified that a little bit going into the match.

[@jackhammer5683]

What map they were playing on?
