As you all probably already know,

Shane 'rapha' Hendrixson won his third QuakeCon title after an intense five game final against

Orekhov 'evil' Sergey.

Rapha said the following about the final and how he overcame his opponent:

"I think I was able to overcome him this time because I myself was playing better. The LAN conditions felt amazing this year. Part of it also is I started to pickup on subtle things that I needed to be more aware of or could exploit in his game and it definitely helped out. Every game was still super tough regardless of my shape being at a very high level at this event."

Rapha also answered the question whether he will quit competitive gaming any time soon or not:

"I think I'll just look at it like 'hey, if I have the time to go play in a big tournament and can prepare for it, I will. So I won't say that I'll 'retire'. I'm going to always leave the door open. I've accomplished quite a bit in Quake, and to me I don't really look at it like 'okay, I've finally won this now I'm good.' I've always tried to take it one tournament at a time and I'm always looking to win and do more and I think it'll always be that way."
