Death Row

Legendary american Quake-clan who dominated the America Quake-scene between 1996 and 1998.

History

With players such as Reptile, Unholy, B2, Frick and of course Thresh the clan won almost everything they took part in.

The era went to an end when most of Death Row switched to Quake 2 or became inactive. Death Row did return for an exhibition game against Clan 9 in Stockholm (Aug 1998). Clan 9 won 8 games to 2.

It was later said by a member of 9 that they intended to win 9-1, so that they could say "9 won, 9-1".

The exhibition games were later seen as the coming of a new era to quakeworld. Clan 9 exploited various bugs in the game that were completely unkown or viewed as worthless by Deathrow. These include wall hugging for additional speed and the jump across RA on DM3.

An anonymous source at the event said that Thresh confronted Xenon after he saw him do the jump across RA on DM3, telling him "You can't do that". After many failed attempts, Thresh managed to do the jump - which can be viewed in Thresh's POV demos. This was the first time anyone on Deathrow saw this jump done, which is a testament both to how long they had been out of the quake scene prior to this exhibition match, and how much the quake scene in Europe had been progressing.
