Insane Quake Live match: ZeRo4 vs. dkt
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- An insane match in the Intel Extreme Masters American Championship between John "ZeRo4" Hill and Brian "dkt" Flander. This is Hektik, the third and deciding map for first place in the group in the American Championship regular season.
Watched this again and again, it's still the best comeback I've seen, the commentary just adds to the tension, love the game, love the win, love the trashtalk :)
Big thanks to ESL for allowing us (QLTV) to cast such amazing games. Also thanks for promoting our video on your YT acct.
This never gets old.
The reason us people play quake is because it is probably the most competitive game ever made
Get wrekt neckbeard elitist. Their are many other games in the same vein that are just as competitive.
Meh. You are right
It is among the most competitive, I will give you that..
I suppose unreal tournament is up there
There's also Painkiller and Nexuiz.
"that's how you do it."
"that's how you blow 14 points lead. "
but It was 13 point lead, sorry
I have never even played Quake, nor have I ever watched a game of Quake, but this made my heart pound so hard its unbelievable.
It makes me sad that all the comments on this are from 5-12 years ago. This game is eternal, and this comeback was godlike.
when I heard zer0 was sick I immediately started rooting for him
This game gets your adrenaline flowing.
Man, sick and 10 years past his prime and zero4 is still kicking ass.
The comebacks are real.
I never played this game and yet I can see how awesome this match is. Mad skills there!
I've never even played or watched quake live before this video but god damn this owns
quake is one of those thing that soaked into my brain so deeply that it actually defined the structure of it. just too good
THE GRAPHICS HAVE BEEN LOWERED FOR THE SIMPLE FACT THAT ITS EASIER TO TELL THE PLAYER APART AS WELL AS ITEMS IT ALSO MAKES IT EASIER TO FOLLOW
When I had just started to play quake I downloaded the first quake frag video I ever saw which was QuakeCon 2002 Highlights which contained fantastic frags by zero4. When I was still playing he was my idol. It's nice to see he's still playing.
Zero4 lied- it was only a 13 frag lead. This game always makes me happy because I dislike DKT. 11 glorious frags in just over 3 minutes :)
Fanboy.
hellspwanedperson duck off
Zelousmarineinspace be gone you quack.
hellspwanedperson I'd rather you just bill me
Jay Plays I tried watching DKT stream and he seems like a douche. Constant stream of excuses and negativity.
Definitely one of the best matches of the year. ZeRo4 pulled out some crazy rail strings at the end! NICE!
Amazing!
The first Quake video I ever saw. Crazy.
I just downloaded quake, and before playing a game I watched this. I have no fucking clue whats happenings
7 minutes 32 seconds = epic!!!!!!! I live for moments like those!
Yes Quake has bad graphics. BECAUSE it was CREATED in 1999 (btw this is not quake live's 'real graphics' they have been lowered for some reason, most likely for the viewers who play quake.)
Yes Quake is unrealistic but that doesn't mean its less superior in terms of providing entertainment in which a video game is supposed to do.
Yes Quake requires a lot more skill to play than call of duty, any Quake player can play a public game of CoD and get a decent score due to the mindless gameplay mechanics aka killstreaks and grenade launchers. Although this is a one way street because the same wont happen for the cod player.
FPS. Lower the graphics, better the frame rate. It took some pleasure away from it when you felt forced to lower all the settings.
How do i get my quake like this
chris flanger I think it's something called "picmip"
Visibility also factors in
+Jaime Gonzalez this game looks the same if not better than quake3 mate. this is the kind of configuration people use to play more competitively . it doesnt only affect how many fps you have, but actually makes aiming a bit easier for some. quake 3 was like this in tournaments too ;d in game menus dont allow you to get the game like this, the most important command is r_picmip . in this case i think its r_picmip "5". if you use r_picmip "0" , you get full textures like you remember. if you use "10" , you get even flatter untextured walls (wich is also bad, its better to have some references both aim wise and to sense speed) :P . this are the competitive standard graphics

I miss my days of Quake. Is this still popular on line? After all these years?
My eyes were wide open too and I had goosebumps. Zero4 has shown here some real quality playing and long years of experience. Wow, that was something.
hax why is it the guy with the video view mode always wins.
I hope you`re trolling...
they switched between them
Nice to see one of the oldest and one of the greatest players like ZeRo4 back in a shape. Great comeback, both meanings.
Put a Quaker in CoD and he will dominate!
+Razster Put a 9 year old in CoD and he can dominate lol.
im 16 and my dad introduced me to quake 3 and all the games that i actually enjoyed at the age of 5-6. I have to say. Nothing gets close to UT and QUAKE 3, they are one of the best.
Grrrr I hate the lightning gun!
Me to, its overpowered
megajimmyfive it's op if u can use it..
An thats not simple..
megajimmyfive Only if you use it right.
I wish the rail gun as 1 hit kill, because it uses an other worldly level of skill.
megajimmyfive What der hell you talkn about Willus?
It IS a one hit kill.
Learn to use it properly, so git gud
holy fuck, i haven't watch or play quake live before. this epic comeback series make me a fan.
Zero such a bad winner.
He's from the old school, I played with him a lot back in the day, we shit talked eachother nonstop.
Zero has EARNED my respect!...continue fragging my freinds
so good looking game, its so good that we live in 1997 and have these great 3d visuals
Jesus, I used to worship dkt in CS. So glad to see this name pop up in my feed.
@Hodovnik Those are timers that tell you when the items will spawn next. They are only available to spectators.
It's matches like these that really make me want to get into Quake. Thankfully with the new one coming out I'll finally have a chance (didn't actually become familiar with the scene until recently and QL has been basically dead for years, so I kind of had poor timing there)
I've never really gotten into watching sports, but I found myself laugh aloud at that ridiculous comeback.
@CadrinHaverit The appearance in this video is after using a bunch of console tweaks to change the appearance. You can make it look like Q3A if you want, but most people turn down the textures so that it's easier to see everything.
This is an awesome match. I just played a Clan Arena match that dkt was playing in. He did alright but his team sucked. I think I scored 1 point higher then him. Great fun though, glad to see these guys play pubs every now and then.
WOW!! What a comeback!! Almost unbelievable!
Don't worry about it. Part of the game is getting the best weapons for the scenario and then using them correctly. That's why map awareness is so important.
I play love to watch Starcraft 2 pro games, but this is just as intense! Awesome games! I love Quake!
These graphics make the players' skill and the beauty of the game shine. Apparently, other tournaments don't care about those.
That was awe inspiring. Good show.
All games do take skill, but not all games are equally skill based. Quake is one of the most skill based first person shooters out there. It's a staple at gaming competitions for a reason.
This is one of the most hectic things ive seen in a while
Jesus z4 was soooo impressive! Nice clip nice commentary nice frags nice clip"
When you look at this... You are looking at the best players in the world.
Love it with the commentary
I don't play Quakelive but I enjoy this so hard! Now I wanna get it!
omg one of the best comebacks in QuakeLive Quake 3 History.
awesome railing by zero4.
True. That and I have come to love old 3D visuals
Wow this game's skill cap is insane, the movement and everything. I wish games like thsi were still popular.
A sport is, by definition, something fun. More specifically, a game.
I don't get why people hate on this game? o.O I've never even played it but I can respect the amount of skill it takes.
i think its really good how you guys still buzz off a game that looks like it was made in the late 90's.
best match ive seen all year
@sighteyed Actually no, Z4's kill with the lightning gun on 6:18 wasn't a midair kill, they were talking about dkt's rocket which hit Z4 at that moment.
That's why the commentator jokingly says on 6:24 "You may kill me, but I shall air rocket you in the nuts!"
Burger King sells millions of burgers, but that doesn't make them the best..
Quake 3 is probably the best 1v1 FPS ever made.
This match was incredible :)
@Cloud98 Timing isn't too much of a factor in maps like hektik and aerowalk. They did have timing down, but it became a priority for both players to pick up as many frags as possible.
@Hunk412 - Counterstrike, before becoming standalone. was a HL mod. Which was running the Quake 2 Engine. So they did.
Amazing skill!!! Zero4 hits unbieliveable shots...old school rules!
What a great video!! Top stuff
God I was shitting bricks during this.
So much
This is the most skill based shooter I've ever played. It's so fast paced and intense, just how an FPS should be :3
Also the standard you need to be at to be great are insane..... Map knowledge (teleports, weapon/pickup locations, general map layout), accuracy (9/10 if you have better accuracy you will kill them), predicting your enemies movements, strafe jumping, rocket jumping, switching weapons based on the situation etc (all of which are handily shown 8:10 to 8:40).
"That's how you do it" (c) ZeRo4
@Hippyjonnycomics quake live is actually pretty good about being newbie friendly
there are different skill tiers and it puts you into them based on how well you do on a training match
@poopdog007 He didn't actually shoot where it appeared. Quake Live is just like that sometimes. I think it only happens while spectating.
It is. For one face of a block there's about 10 or more pixels..
Wow, that was simply amazing by zero4. Just awesome.
@Dahak753 okay... and you're also saying they get away with it on tournaments that are played on LAN?
Holy shit, that's unparalleled.
I might have to pick this up. It's been a while since I've played an actually competitive virtual game.
you can make it look like that with playing around in the graphic options :)
I think the hud is a custom spectator hud but im not sure :D
John "ZeRo4" Hill, Age: 28 (1984) - Quakecon: 1st Place Duel World Champion In 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2008 - 2nd Place In 2011. ZeRo4 is still active and wons leagues online since year 2001 against progamers players like CZM, Fatal1ty, Daler, Leakerman, Jibo, ToXic, ProZac, Rapha, StrenX, Cooller, etc. - ZeRo4, the most strongest and respectable Quake 3 veteran player ever and still active since year 2001!
@inv1e Thanks so much, really
".....thank Jesus...."
hahahahhah :D Thank you, Jesus, for dislodging this railgun outta my ass...!
Game Settings -> Advanced -> Video Options: Texture Details on Low & Light on LightMapped. I think that'll do the job.
Could someone explain to me what "Extended Match History" means?
ESL Nordic have launched Quake Live section.
We have only one - 1on1 ladder at the moment, to check the activity.
If we will be happy with the activity on 1on1 ladder, we will probably launch TDM ladders, and Cups with ladders too.
So feel free to join and challenge other nordic QL players!
ESL Nordic is currently restricted to Nordic residenced players (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland).
Reminds me of when fatal1ty faced zero4 in some old final on q3tourney4. Sicko rails all over the place :) ggs
I don't even play this game but that was a great watch
Oh snap, now thats bringing it back from the brink!
@Herolake How is this game "easy" when the difficultly is determined solely by your human player opponents?
lol @ 7:48 "benedril just kicked in yo" a solid reference to "Vtec just kicked in yo"
@woodyfly
Okay thanks, is it just for sale in the shops or is it downloadable?
@CadrinHaverit yes its browser, but the graphics are tweaked in settings
@oldeskoole623 it's free. it doesn't require much power. you can turn down the graphics a lot and it's based off quake III which is an old game.
This might be an odd question but, what's the name of this game?
Is it literally Quake Live or is it a mod from Quake 1?
I was referring to quake 3 arena which i used to play when i was younger quake live is basically an adaption for it ,
I'm making something called the Mouse Glove. Why am I telling you this? Because the guy who made this up (HouseholdHacker) played Quake Live using the Mouse Glove. It was awesome. Instead of using a regular boring computer mouse, you use your hand! (Well, a glove) I installed this game and I can't wait to make my Mouse Glove for this!
Look at this goddamn 4d chess level shit. Love it.
IW engine is modified quake engine? I had no idea.
@BrayDONee0 I played all those games and I totally agree (that's why I wrote "At least than new newer CoD games") I've been playing Call of Duty since CoD 1.
arent you the guy that kept posting on the old my gaming edge videos?
Absolutely amazing. ZeRo4 = god. Love how the commentators rulw him out at 11-2.
holy shit that takes skill, that railgun round the corner was FILTHY.
@uzku
Well, every game needs skill to some extent.
To put it more correctly, Quake is the most skill-requiring game compared to most.
Just because other games seem 'easier' doesn't mean they don't need skill.
those rails from 8:16 are just omfg
whats the complete name of this game? it looks awesome !
