Apparently, an Australian Quake player with a ping time of 272ms made it into the Quake World Championships. This was not Daniel “dandaking” De Sousa first attempt as he is a Quake veteran and made it past the second round of qualifers dominating several other players. He qualified through the U.S regional finals. The prize up for grabs is $1 million and will be held at QuakeCon later this year.



Having seen the Australian carve his way through the first online qualifiers, players were infinitely more wary of him the second time around. That bore out in most of the matches, which were defensive, pokey affairs, with players keeping their distance and trying avoid needless long range fights.

But with one champion left in the brink of sudden death, Pit made a brief mistake with the timing of an armour pickup – creating a situation where the two players found themselves within inches of each other, with the Australian having the armour advantage.
