Rapha is so good at describing the whole mental aspect behind Quake ! Makes it sound as strategic as high level RTS or even higher.

:D how raphas smile just drops after the interview says "this time you didnt win"

i think straight up round robin tournaments are not a good idea because some players may throw away games

[ikkenienwel]

weird that he's so strong if he rockets so much....

he probably plays very very fast .....

[chris berard]

I would understand why unreal tournament players will give a run for the money in shootmania.

[chris berard]

He talks about evil. He says evil is extremely aggressive, but not like av3k. Evil rocket jumps a lot.

It's subjective yes. I would argue my opinion that it is more strategic, as strategy thrives in situations where simplicity is present. Playing starcraft I'll have a strategy, but it's more or less something I've decided and thought through ahead of time, as I know I'll need my brainpower for micro/maco. There's some reactive stuff happening, sure, but in a 1v1 fps matchup like these, they're more free to focus on out-thinking the other player.

Rapha vs evil on hektik doesnt explain how rapha lost this tourney.
