so i asked my buddy the other day
tich me lg
tich me ffa
and he gave me this answer,which im publishing now; enjoy

sure: basics: SKILL : buy 120hz monitor with no latency, CRT or some shit like that; get some epic mouse with 1000hz and 800 -2000dpi(no need for more); get nice cloth mousepad for it; get a good pc that will run 250 fps SOLID; some 4gb graphics card for 400 euros maybe; get epic dutch internet, and play on servers where you ping >20. pay attention that your jitter is 0; you dont want to warp; so no wi-fi; or maybe some modern routuer for 100 euros; who knows, did not test
SKILL part II:
learn to strafe jump, learn maps (by that i mean no-life each map 100 times)
though i usually know a map after 1 run
maybe pros are stupid?
skill part III:
use a tranqualizer, some melissa maybe, or relanium, something for concentration maybe adderall
something that will bring you focus
and PATIENCE
you want to be in the game, but totally nonagressive
as playing +frwd sucks in QL
(only move forward when you get a quad
camp RA and lg
dodge when someone shaft you
(fast short dodge)
its called skill
saw plenty following that heurystic
sya, chaos (botz3r); visje, etc
same boring crap shit camp lame ass best hardware ever players
always works
you dont need much more
oh, wait
SKILL part IV:
steal a proper config for your new hardware
so that you can get 45lg EZ
usually takes 2-3 hrs*
sarcasm aside: only real skill here is movement, though right now its way easier than it was in 2010
nothing to learn here
get hardware and internet, play lame => win
there
hope i helped
i am doing fine in ffa although playing vs epic hardware LAMEs; cause i move fast i know where to go and find my kills an di know who to shoot
though if you camp and have good internet/hardware you probably do not need all that
too much effort
i just wrote more to you, than i wrote to all people in QL for the last month (alltogether)
oh, no i did talk to psz about stuff the other day
have a nice quake
