What are your favorite id 1v1 maps?
DM1, DM2, DM6
What map do you think you're best on, with respect to duelling?
I believe it is DM6, although others think it is DM2.
Are there any tricks or tips for any of these levels? What mistakes you see people make?
New players tend to make lots of unnecesary noise giving away their position. This allows veterans to connect with prediction shots, and or execute appropriate strategies for counterattacks. Also new players too think in 2 Dimensions. Being cunning, and unpredictable is the key to suprise, which is the key to victory. Lack of aim can be surpassed by great strategy.
Is there anything else you would like to add; have you have won any tournaments? Do you want to mention your clan's webpage? Do you have an arch-nemesis on-line? Or anything else that springs to mind...
I've entered the quakeworld dm scene really too late, and tournaments were obscure in my time. Despite this fact, I have participated in a couple of tournaments that turned out with favorable results.I was a member of two significant clans and those were Execution EX-, and Clan KnightMare ]km[. I dont have an arch-nemesis, but I will mention two players that really got me where I am. These two quakers taught me the fundamentals of deathmatch and the key to winning. They are Retro, and Wang.
What has been your favourite match (that you featured in)?
The most gratifying match i can remember is my victory in a QuakeWorld-DM 1on1 DM6 vs Wang. It was my first and only win against him. I came back from a deficit of 15-6 to win 18-16 in the final seconds.
How long have you been playing Quakeworld?
I've been playing just about two years.
What's your favourite speech bind?
