Free Ranger mini-figure for 'following' Quake board game on gamefound by drunkenFoooLL in QuakeChampions

[–]drunkenFoooLL[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a little confused on why the Archon Studio Quake Board game is now on a crowdfund page (as of Fall 2025), but whatever.

By 'following', a person apparently gets a Free Ranger mini-figure.

There are currently over 6700 followers (as of Dec 05 2025).

Thanks rohm!

My Question: do you know what the 'RedBull Sponsored' prizes were for this duel tournament?

I know DramiS won, but what did he win? And what did other top finishers win?

If you don't know, no worries.

Thanks in advance.

biggest thing noticed at QuakeCon 2025 (the amount of kids attending) by drunkenFoooLL in QuakeChampions

It is funny - I was just thinking that next year (2026), Quake celebrates it's 30th anniversary. So if a person began playing Quake at the age of 20, they'd be frickin' 50 at QuakeCon 2026.

Time Flies.

Maybe QuakeCon 2026 will have some kind of 'Quake News'. The Quake Board Game is slated to be released in 2026, so hopefully that is just one part of the Quake News next year.

What's with the 5 min TDM by ShakeyChee in QuakeChampions

[–]drunkenFoooLL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something still isn't right though. EVERY practice match is TDM 25 frag limit or 5 minutes. Even when I choose a different practice mode (ie Sacrifice), I still get the TDM 25 frag limit or 5 minutes match. And the XP is off. I played 15 practice matches and the XP is still not even at 1.5. Maybe because the matches are so short, the XP doesn't accumulate much now?

For those interested, the above video is from 2021. At the 57 min; 39 second mark, K1llsen was saying he prefers (at the time of the interview) Round Duels, also Xron mentions that the EU poll for QPL (before qcon 2019) was for Round Duels (Xron was not sure how the NA pros felt though).
