Question: would qui gon have survived?
Answer: If Qui-Gon had survived the duel in The Phantom Menace, then he would have returned to train Anakin as planned. It is possible that Obi-Wan would still have been given the rank of Jedi Knight for assisting Qui-Gon in defeating Darth Maul. ... This is largely different to Anakin and Obi-Wan who were more like brothers.
