Makaveli first made his name in Quake 2 and was a top competitor in early CPLs in the game. He became the unofficial Quake 2 world champion after winning an exhibition series against Shub, fresh winner of the European Duel League in 1999. Switching to Quake 3 saw Makaveli again cement himself as one of the best in the world by placing second behind Fatal1ty at the XSI (Xsreality Invitational) and Razer CPL in 2000. Makaveli would enter the Babbage's CPL at the end of the year hoping to lift the trophy only to be shockingly eliminated early. After that Makaveli would make only rare appearances in offline competition. A last hurrah came qualifying for the World Cyber Games finals in Korea in 2001 out of a very stacked domestic qualifier. In Korea results did not go his way and he left the event with some notorious stories repeated on forums for years to come. Makaveli would continue to play online in TDM, most notably for K9, but his days as a professional player were behind him and any entries were strictly for fun. He would return to the Quake scene in Quake Champions and participate as an analyst at QuakeCon in 2017 and 2018. This interview was recorded on the 21st of July, 2025. ► Time-line of topics discussed: 00:00 Reflecting on his impact 03:35 Choosing to walk away 08:59 Success vs. Shub 15:07 Lineage 18:07 Period after stopping practice 22:09 Lack of opportunity in early esports and Fatal1ty's path 28:04 Legacy 35:42 Practice PC environment 40:45 Success could have ruined his life?!? 45:40 CNN interview 51:24 Fatal1ty influenced to go to Europe 54:33 Top finishes 57:26 Thresh fakenicking in PGL? 1:04:46 Teaching wombat a lesson 1:08:47 Beating someone with hand grenades only 1:12:15 Playing to make the game a spectacle 1:14:22 Process of going back over his history 1:21:21 People not knowing their history 1:27:17 Final words Subscribe this channel to get access to perks:    / @thooorin   ► Check out bite-sized Thorin on my new clips channel:    / thorinclips   ► Follow me on social media:   / thorin     / thooorin     / thooorinofficial   ► My written content: https://iamesports.substack.com/ ► My stream:   / thorin   ► You can discuss this content at my Discord server:   / discord   ► Want esports predictions?
