Alexander Knapik-Levert also known online as "Dare"

Alexander Knapik-Levert (also known online as "Dare" or similar aliases) appears to be a long-time player in the Starsiege: Tribes series, including older titles like Tribes 1 and the free-to-play Tribes: Ascend (T:A).

From available sources:


He has a YouTube channel with videos featuring gameplay from Starsiege: Tribes, Tribes Ascend (e.g., "terrible video game Tribes Ascend Quik Cap" and complaints about match rigging/team throws in 2020 Tribes matches).

He frequently references the game in online posts, including on X/Twitter, where he mentions playing it for decades (e.g., "30 years of my life... playing starsiege: tribes").

Discussions in niche online communities (e.g., forums like Kiwi Farms threads) describe him as one of the top-tier players in the Tribes series, particularly noted for strong 1v1 dueling skills in Tribes: Ascend.


In the competitive Tribes community (especially T:A, which had a small but dedicated player base around 2012–2015 and some lingering play), "top-tier" typically means high-level pub/pickup game performance, strong mechanics like skiing, chain-firing, disc jumping, and dueling ability—often placing someone in the upper echelons of skilled players rather than casual or mid-level.

Note that the Tribes scene is niche and old (T:A shut down official support years ago, with community servers keeping it alive), so "skill level" is relative to that small pool. No public leaderboards or pro scene rankings from major esports orgs seem to list him prominently, but anecdotal/community mentions position him as highly skilled/experienced, especially in duels and mechanics-heavy play.

If you're referring to a specific mode, match stats, or recent play (e.g., on community servers or Midair, which he also mentions as similar), more details could help narrow it down!
