clawz (Nikita Marchinsky) — Quake Champions Professional Player Settings and Gear
About clawz
Nikita 'clawz' Marchinsky is a Belarusian Quake Champions player who won the QuakeCon 2017 Duel championship, defeating rapha in a stunning upset that established him as one of the game's elite competitors. His victory was particularly significant because it came during the transition from Quake Live to Quake Champions, proving that young talent could challenge the established legends in the new game. clawz's playstyle is characterized by exceptional aim — particularly his railgun accuracy — combined with aggressive timing pushes that catch opponents off guard. His Belarusian heritage connects him to his countryman cYpheR, continuing the nation's surprisingly strong tradition in arena FPS games. clawz's use of the Zowie FK2, a small ambidextrous mouse favored by many Quake players, suits his precise aim-heavy style perfectly.
