Four of the six scheduled matches were completed this week.

Unfortunately, h3lldown experienced power issues, so his matches against cYpheR and Pavel have been postponed until next week.

🇩🇪 k1llsen had another strong performance, winning both of his matches. The only player to take a map from him was ARSENY, but k1llsen still secured both series victories.

The featured match of the day was 🇷🇺 Pavel vs 🇧🇾 cYpheR.

Pavel managed to take one map, but cYpheR ultimately won the series. In fact, Pavel is still the only player this season to take even a single map off cYpheR.

After Match Day 6, both AGENT and cYpheR remain undefeated. With only a few match days left before the end of the regular season, the battle for first place is becoming more exciting than ever.

Who do you think has the best chance to hand AGENT or cYpheR their first loss?

Their all-time head-to-head record:

• cYpheR: 12 wins

The numbers clearly favor cYpheR, but every new match is another opportunity to change the story. Can Pavel close the gap, or will cYpheR add another victory to his record?

All 7 scheduled matches have been played. While every series ended in a sweep, the day was packed with high-level Quake. It was also great to see LeXeR return to the broadcast as one of the commentators.

The standout performer was AGENT, who played three matches in a row and won all of them without dropping a single map. A dominant performance that further strengthens his position in the championship race.

cherepoff continues his impressive season. This week he defeated SPART1E, bringing his total number of wins level with k1llsen. The fight near the top of the standings is getting tighter every week.

k1llsen also had a flawless day, sweeping both Baksteen and h3lldown.

Meanwhile, cYpheR defeated ASH in straight maps, maintaining his place among the league's top contenders.

Congratulations to cYpheR on another EGB Cup victory! The rivalry between cYpheR and AGENT continues to produce some of the best Quake Live matches around.

Who would you like to see challenge them in the next EGB Cup?

We had the chance to interview 🇩🇪 Marcel "k1llsen" Paul, one of the greatest Quake players of all time and a regular competitor in the 250FPS League.

https://preview.redd.it/moa9g4unbyah1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea8919a173807b55431fa616934befa2d9594cf1

Rather than focusing only on gameplay, we also asked him about one of the most discussed moments of his career.

What do you do outside of Quake?

>

What hardware do you use?

>

Back in 2019, why didn't you shake Cooller's hand after your match?

>

Would you attend a LAN event in Minsk?

>

What advice would you give to new Quake players?

>

Do you still have any unfinished business in Quake?

>

It's always interesting to hear the perspective of someone who's been competing at the highest level for so many years.

If you could ask k1llsen one more question, what would it be?

The preliminary schedule for Match Day 5 of 250FPS Season 5 is here!

This week features 7 high-level matches, and honestly, it's difficult to single out just one as the headline matchup. Every pairing has the potential to deliver great Quake.

Nearly all of the league's top contenders will be in action, and with the season moving toward its second half, every win is becoming increasingly important. A single match could significantly change the standings.

This is shaping up to be one of the most stacked match days of the season, with top players facing off from start to finish.

Which matchup are you looking forward to the most? And who do you think will come out on top?

Match Day 4 of 250FPS Season 5 is complete!

All six scheduled matches were played, and the latest round brought some results that could have a big impact on the standings.

The biggest surprise of the day was 🇷🇺 cherepoff's dominant 3-0 victory over 🇩🇪 k1llsen. It was an impressive performance that moves cherepoff up to 3rd place in the league standings and strengthens his case as a serious contender this season.

Another key matchup featured k1llsen vs Pavel. Last season, Pavel won this rivalry and used that victory as part of his run near the top of the standings. This time, k1llsen got his revenge, taking an important win and evening the score between them.
