Nobody plays Quake, bro. Even among the people who still bring it up, most of them have likely never played it at any real competitive level. You can't add it to the list when it's status as the ultimate competitive FPS is everybody else literally just taking your word for it. There's also a point where the game itself doesn't even matter as much if the playerbase isn't there because the playerbase is a big part of what drives competition and raises the skill ceiling. You wouldn't recognize any of the top Quake players if the game had millions of people trying to improve like other games do.

facts. most the top quake players like rapha cooler etc got owned in overwatch/csgo or any other game they tried to convert to. The talent pool for quake is super small so whoever plays the most is usually the best. Reminds me of all the old cs 1.6 pros who still grind hours of csgo/cs2 and are barely faceit lvl 10

you mean the 40 year olds that retired from pro play 20 years ago? What a dumb comment you know of plenty of 1.6 and css players that had great success in go

the majority of them didn't and there are ones who still play actively and have 15k+ hours. I'm not saying they should still be pro, but they are struggling maintaining faceit lvl 10, they aren't even like 2.5k elo let alone 3k. Don't get me wrong some of these old school pros like elude for example only has 800 hours and is just as good as someone like cuz1h who has a billion hours and plays a shit load. I'm just using example that talent pool matters. Some people learn faster than others, or cap out on learning or getting better at a certain point.
Why do you think rapha and all of them couldn't do shit in overwatch?
Cypher failed to get into csgo when it was still new in like 2012
These top quake players are mostly the best because of a small talent pool like >>2306074
said. If they were CS players they might be one of the thousand kids who have 15k hours and are stuck in 3k elo. These kids are practicing hard too, with many of them transfering over to coaching on youtube after their failed pro career.
