🔥 Meet the newest participant of the 250FPS League Season 4 — the legendary 🇺🇸 Shane “rapha” Hendrickson!
💪 A true Quake icon returns to the arena! The American esports legend, known for his incredible precision, composure, and ability to stay five steps ahead, is back in action.
Rapha has been training hard, regaining his Quake Live form after his time in Quake Champions — and he’s already been sparring with some of the top players from the previous 250FPS season.
🏆 His esports legacy speaks for itself — Rapha always plays for the win.
Now he’s here to conquer 250FPS Season 4 and add another trophy to his already stacked collection.
🤔 Who do you think can challenge him?
His arrival will definitely make everyone prepare a lot harder for the upcoming battles.

Remember everybody - Battlefield is a casual FPS, not an esport. The game is insanely mechanically easy regardless of what they do with the movement. At this point we should all just be hoping for not a buggy mess.
I can’t believe Battlefield of all things was the game to (finally) bring the movement debate into the mainstream
Now that it’s here:
NOT EVERY GAME NEEDS MOVEMENT HOLY SHIT. Stop shoehorning it into everything
No, movement doesn’t automatically make your game better. Faster pacing doesn’t automatically make your game better. Movement games aren’t automatically more skillful than games without it
There are so many different ways to create high skill gaps with fun, interesting, complex mechanics beyond making you faster or adding more ways to move your character. Movement is easily the most boring, oversaturated “skill gap” there is
For all the people who constantly advocate for movement, claiming a game is worse without it, or say “lol you’re just bad” towards anyone who dislikes it, here’s a truth nuke for ya
You secretly rely on it as a crutch because any other game mechanic that requires actual brain power and strategy would be a REAL skill gap. Hop off the movement dick and realize there’s more possibilities out there
Movement CAN be fun and rewarding. Not all movement games are bad, but thinking all games need movement is. Let Battlefield be Battlefield

I think one of the coolest moments from my pretty meh esports career was getting to tell vo0 while walking around DHW 2017 that this video was a huge reason why I wanted to go pro in Quake. He may not even remember it but damn that was cool.
it's even better in practice, from a video as old as the song teapaw.org/ddkesports/status/1884…

Suddenly, all the “no new wars!!!” crowd is just fine with their naked emperor threatening to take Greenland by military force, seize the Panama Canal, and potentially annex our NATO ally, Canada.

Ironic of Elon quoting this. My “For You” tab is basically Tim Pool, Tucker Carlson, Scott Adams, and a bunch of other extreme right wingers despite rarely ever engaging with such posts. It’s an unusable feature per the propaganda.

"Look at the stars..." ✨
Today, we look up at the stars and remember the great James Earl Jones. As Mufasa, he reminded us that those stars will always be there to guide us.

It's 5am that I'm writing this, and I wanted to share my thoughts after taking a minute to think about the end of qpl, the timing of it, and for the players. Please enjoy my thoughts...

I think John was right - these are some of the best gamers in the world. I'm sad for my friends. I hope this isn't the end for Quake and I hope someday I have the privilege to give new players the opportunities and chances that were given to me.
