> I discovered that some were playing Q3 at ramped up physics speeds in single player. When going back to playing at regular speed, it feels like you're playing in slow motion.

That's amazing, like training at altitude but for e-sports.

it's not actually that helpful because a lot of the skill comes from muscle memory and that's not just for aiming but mousemovement also has a significant influence on movement

for example there's something called a circle jump where you use precise mouse movement to get the most efficient angles so that your movement speed is maximized from your first jump

Quake 3 was really all about map control. If you can get the cadence down to run through the map and grab all the goodies you will dominate in 1v1.
