I find this game to be so pleasing to watch compared to other esport games, I have never played quake besides quake 2 MANY years ago on the PS1, but it's really easy to understand what's going on anyways :)
Tox is undoubtedly one of the top all time Quake players needs not be said but I did notice a long time ago he seems somewhat depressed and that can obviously affect your game. Even when he played Fatal1ty, he was totally un-stoked he won and when asked what he was gonna do with his prize money he sounded really unhappy and sad. I don't know, those are my impressions of him from watching him play all these years.
It's my second game I see toxic play and I already see why he loses. It's obvious. He "overmoves" it. All those slides and jumps look incredible, but sometimes they work against him. To understand what I'm talking about, look at Rapha's movements. He jumps only when he needs to. He moves "regularly" when he needs to. He even walks when he needs to. That's how a pro plays. p.s. Look at 9:30. Rapha knows toxic is low hp and armor, look how he walks to that armor pickup and watches it, for toxic to come out and pick it up. And then look at basically any moment of Toxic's. Random jumps all over the map w/o any plan.
Tox is probably my favourite quake player but he just has these days where he either dominates or falls flat. Overall Raph is still probably a better player but we all know Tox can still do better than this.
he seems to play best when he is aggressive, it's a bit of a shame to not see it. the other time this match up happened, toxjc has rolling rapha. swooping in and out of ever fight with extraordinary levels of damage, but on the contrary it is actually interesting to see rapha playing aggressive. his aim has improved so much since that other match up.
rapha seems to be the the best at everything atm, which is both cool and kinda boring that noone really can challenge him to the point of beating like he does to others. the only one that rivals him is ofc coollerz, but even he loses out in adaptability many time in 1 vs 1. claws are good but still to inexperienced, and again the rest usualy doesnt stand a chance really
Fortnite sucks if you like fps. Even PubG is a better. Fortnite is a fps for the masses that don't havr the skills to play fast pace fps. Quake being the fastest ofc, followed by CS, Bf, Ow and Cod. Same goes with rts games like Starcraft and Lol. Most gamers don' have the skills for those game either so games like Heroes of the storm is played instead. Dota 2 is somewhere inbetween I guess..
Bah. 15% rail on BC says it all. You can't find a single game in a single QC game where he's been that low. Clearly an issue with his PC or mouse. Obviously when this happens the opponent will just take advantage and gets all the momentum.
Or he just wasn't focused. If it was a technical issue wouldn't you think he'd be aware of it right away and put a pause on things while he tries a new mouse or something? Nobody wants to see a high level event like this where one player's mouse is glitching out on every rail shot. I think he just couldn't find his groove.
Yea, tox getting caught with his pants down is probably PC issue, being overly defensive and then going for a major item the worst time multiple times can only have been his mouse bugging. I have nothing against toxiq, I respect his skills, but he got schooled this time.
Wouldn't surprise me. I wish they would slow down the tournament schedules. Expecting players to be performing for so many hours and so many days, at this level, is very close to encouraging drug use imo.
@@brainrot5656 My comment is more about the tournament schedule than anything else. I don't think Rapha uses performance-enhancing drugs. Also, drug-induced god-tier aim is just not a thing. I see two kinds of drugs having a positive effect on performance in quake tournaments: 1) Beta blockers (e.g. propranolol) to block physical effects of feeling nervous, and 2) Drugs that help you concentrate for longer (ranging from caffeine, modafinil to adderall, etc.). Studies show none of these will improve your performance directly, in activities similar to quake, but they can counteract nervousness and fatigue and reduce the negative effect of those factors.
@@brainrot5656 I tend to lean more towards scientific peer-reviewed studies when trying to find the truth of a matter. They don't show any improvement in peak performance, nor have I found that to be the case in my personal experience when measured objectively (which is of course anecdotal and of little importance, but anyway).
I remember the q4 days when NO ONE could win toxic, and he kept winning every tournament he entered
av3k was one of them. He was the youngest champion (15 years).

Its just his personality. He has a very flat emotional range and doesnt express himself much at all.
Was never a fan of commentaries in Quake but these guys add to the match as a whole. Spot on. :o)
PS: Rapha is a GOD.
Win lose etc. tox is my fav.

I'm not really a quake player... but toxjq's movement looks incredible
seeing his keybinds make it seem even crazier
download, start playing, you wont go back!

Consistentcy
Consistency is the biggest hurdle that Tox faces. If he can pin that down, I don't think many in this world can beat him
Rapha is just a mastermind
I feel like Tox could have done a lot more sorlag setups, blocking paths with the spit, like TP exits and doors.
You guys laugh at Tox right now, but blowing into the NES/SNES cartridges used to work.
18:38 Wtf? Why tox just keep running into this room?
"iNCREADIBLY DOMINANTLY" ? 2-3? YOU DUDES ARE DRUNK?
hahahaha blowing his mouse sensor
Might be more like a comedian saying into the mic, "Is this thing on?" than an actual mouse issue. lol
Depends, usually doesn't make a big difference but tiny amounts dust does get in front of the sensor and therefore affects tracking.
Tox with more strategy and calm maybe could be the best player in the game. He movements are so agresive.
I feel old because I would prefer this over fortnite

11:38 how did toxjq die with that much health left? he just picked up heavy. I dont understand
Low health. Armor takes 2/3 of the damage, the remaining 1/3 is health
Think they will come back with excessive? I remember toxic playing in the servers on quake 3
Sometimes people just have off days. Maybe there was something wrong with his mouse but who knows. It's a shame either way.
I am the fly.
34:20 rapha dont get dmg from toxjq tribolt
LMAO how
Damn Toxjq. Something wasn't right. I've not seen him blink that much in any of the games I've spec'd. :/
Agreed, a true pro never blinks
The caster has an epic beard
jc , they look like they are druged out...
rapha is always so fucking lucky, its unreal!!
:D "lucky".
you can see toxjq smile on the last round of blood run cause he got the starting spawn by rocket 3 times in a row.
They should have backup mice in case their's malfunction
i mean it might not be one suited to their hand size and grip style, making them play even worse
@@ashhadnaqavi well they could just have the same exact mouse for the backup
Токс не считает по ходу вообще
That's one majestic beard 15:00 . -_-
Toxjq play on his own PC with 240hz Screen but in the comptititon all Screens are 144hz for that he lost
Those BenQs are 240hz and the industry standard for eSports. Probably the best monitors on the market. I own one :)
ooh im early! 360p army!
rapha is high af

Dude. 360p? Really? It's nearly fucking 2019.
that last round in coventant... nehh come man! Rapha playing like raisy?
Is Rapha cheating ?
Yes. He uses brain.exe, experience.exe and hardwork.dll
Yes, i know this kind of cheats, no software can detect it, it called 10k+ hours of experience
great players, but u know the game is shit when is free to play...
rapha is on a whole other level compared to this rando
you fucking what mate
