surprises me how some of the tactics thresh came up with on this map is still used in high tier duels from all of the new games. his positioning was really good for this being one of the first competitive FPS games. they must have played this so much when it came out. the same kind of positioning is pretty critical to keeping map control, and i can see it with the RA. but then i saw him convert map control once or twice by going up through the top area to RA. since he still had a clean red armor, and had just picked up mega health, he made the smartest decision to push from highground to avoid excess damage, and then just gets control again. i highly doubt many players were this methodical.

Good ol Quake was the best. Especially CTF, Rocket Arena, and Hypnotic.

It is worth mentioning though that in 1997 when this demo was recorded strafe jumping and bunny hopping were not widely utilized in deathmatch by most players. Although there were a few high profile players began utilizing it throughout 1998 it wasn't until late 99'/early 00' that it really became an essential part of the meta.

No duh? Quake and Doom both had *demo files*, which you could record and upload online. It was a lightweight alternative to screencapture, which wasn't really a thing at the time. Files were relatively light, too, only being a few KBs in size(and when the internet was still at KB/s, this mattered. Most source ports of the game allow texture mods and obviously resolutions above 640x480/800x600. Said source ports also allow for playback of demo files, which is what is going on here. It is a demo file being replayed back in a port of the game which allows for texture mods and high resolutions. So technically, this was RECORDED in 1997, but it's not direct capture of the original game being played.

This was the highest level of quake at the time. Remember that there was no strafejumping yet, playing on CRT's, no 3d gfx cards and using ball mice. He was the best at the time, by far. If he had kept on playing he would obviously have improved like everyone else did. Remember that alot of the guys that became a top player in quake, like CZM and Fatal1ty were actually playing quake at this time as well but they were not in the top yet. It might seem like low level, but so does Muhammad ali's old boxing stuff compare to today's fighters. And remember, Thresh literally changed quake, John Carmack said that he made quake 3 easier for noobs because of Guys like Thresh.

"Playing on CRTs" sounded like if a proper model weren't more than adequate for the highest level play possible - even today. Voodoo (1) was also available at the time. Ball mice generally suck, but there were some kinda "decent" options, even back then, like the original Microsoft IntelliMouse.

@davelister9755

Mechanically they were good for playing on a keyboard or track ball, they had no mice for gaming afaik. They have a firm understanding of positioning and item control though. The only thing I think is required of MikeJ that Thresh was doing good at is taking back control. Of course Thresh has the lead most of the match so MikeJ had to leave good positioning on Red Armor to try and tie the game, which threw control away eventually and Thresh just locked it down again. They were really smart players, not to be underestimated.
