This is the final game of the First Official C9 Invitational Double-Elimination One-On-One Quake Tournament Extravaganza, a small tourney for C9 players and a few other locals.  It features me (lemurboy) against the Mighty Mighty Xris.  Neither one of us has made many demos publicly available (for different reasons, I can only assume), but -- lucky you! -- here is a demo showing the game from my viewpoint.  It's from back in February, so feel free to assume that I've gotten a LOT better since then. :-)  Anyway both X and I show some flashes of competence in this game, don't worry.

For this final game, we decided to pick a map that neither of us had seen before.  We had plenty of time to study it, but I don't think either of us had ever played a human on this map before this game.  To watch this demo you'll need the map ZTNDM3 Blood Run, available at

This map rocks, and I believe this demo shows a lot of the reasons why.  One can only imagine what two really good players could squeeze out of this map with some practice.

Other format notes: to keep our live audience happy with plenty o' bloodshed, we used deathmatch 3 rules.  Over my protests. :-)  To keep _us_ happy, we disabled the Quad powerup.  20 minute match as usual, using the ClanRing mod.

I hope xris won't mind if I mention that he was the prohibitive favorite, so I guess we were both feeling a bit of pressure.  Bets were rumored to be circulating as to whether or not I would end with a positive score.  I think that I can objectively say that a pretty good match resulted...  hope you enjoy it.
