[13-7] Who to look out for

Learn to recognize and counter skilled players in Quake Champions. This guide details player styles and strategies to help you dominate online matches.

Alright, so you're diving into the online arena of Quake Champions and want to know who's who? This section is all about spotting the good players, the ones who really know how to move and frag on the internet. Think of this as your quick rundown on who to watch out for, especially if you're playing in the US.

Who to Look Out For:

• [Zer0]: This is actually the author! They're confident they kick ass, and you should probably expect them to.
• [Novak]: Seriously tough opponent. Novak is a fantastic pattern runner, meaning they'll likely exploit predictable movement.
• [The_Brain]: Aggressive player who can rack up frags fast. If you don't keep tabs on them, they'll run away with the score.
• [Shostakov]: A real potshot and aggressive player, similar to The_Brain but noted as being even better.
• [^Dragon^]: A sneaky bum who's also a good player and a friend of the author. Keep a sharp eye out; they'll try to surprise you.
• [Mynx]: The only girl mentioned on the servers, and she's damn good. She's tough, but often seen teamed up, so it's hard to gauge her solo skill.
• [RIP]: A decent player who's improving very quickly, making servers more challenging.
• [Gooseman]: Likes missiles and is a good player. Expect a lot of gibs if you're on a server with them. No specific strategy is provided yet, but be ready for explosive encounters.
• [SwanSong]: Another solid all-around player. They're fun to frag against and can sometimes beat the author.
• [RomeovioD]: Included for having an ego bigger than the author's! They're looking for a match and claim to be the best darn 28.8 deathmatcher out there.
• [Kill-9]: A very good player, particularly noted for their skill on the Zigguruat Vertigo map.
