Dueling in Quake: Aggressive vs. Defensive

Having learned from the skills of many professional players, including the likes of Fatal1ty, ZeRo4, Dkt, Rapha, Strenx, Evil, and Cypher, I know one thing when it comes to Duel: when to play defensively, and when to go full-on aggressive. If you want to learn a thing or two, please read the post below!

Defensive
Defensive play in Duel centers around fleeing and avoiding confrontation, all while trying to build up your gear. You should play defensively in three major situations: (a) when you have respawned after getting killed, (b) when you have survived a confrontation and lost a good portion of your health/armor in the process, and finally (c) when you have a significant point advantage and you want to avoid damage at all costs.

Aggressive
On the other hand, go fully aggressive when you have achieved full armor, so you can maintain map control and continuously frag your enemy. Use brute force to dominate the power positions, and constantly chase after the fleeing player to rack up some quick kills, allowing you to add to your point advantage or simply catch up to your opponent.
