History
Death Row was originally founded by friends from two top west cost teams, 4 members of the Legends Clan (Thresh, Cross, Spear, B2) and 3 members of Xtreme Prejudice (Unholy, Geiger, TwistedKiller). Shortly thereafter they were joined by LittleDragon and Orion, also from XP, as well as Reptile and Da5id from Clan Postal. Handiman was the last member added to the roster while the team was active, during the closing ceremony of PGL's Season 2 Championship where Death Row not only won the team event, but Thresh also bested top Q2 gunner Immortal for the PGL Q2 1v1 crown. Later Makaveli & Immortal, long time friends of DR, were added to the roster while considering competing in Quake 3.
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.
