This Is NOT How You Defend This Point In TF2 

"it's hard for spy to trick good players but when he does" - lazypurple

But he really WAS cleain!

Maybe worried about a lagswitchy kind of situation? I don't really know like that, but I suppose I could see why he might be worried about it

cheating with high ping, so they get to headshot people on their screen when a higher ping wouldn't be able to

My guess is that it can be multiple things, and hard to say any which one it is, but it's probably good to have it investigated either way

Basically it gives advantages in certain situations for classes like spies and snipers ever wondered how u got shot around that corner by the sniper? It might be because he has a higher ping than u

common cheats also mess with ping. one cheat will show a high ping while u have lower ping when u check in console

Elim? Elim???

it's called frag you pleb

Rate this elim on a scale 1 to 10

@BlackMesaEmployee 7. The Sniper doing a full turn-around because of the forced-uncloak sound, /in/ Phish's direction, not noticing, AND having his back turned for a backstab. Probably a 7, though I see it being an 8.

As Soundsmith says in his video about the Big Earner, that -25 health is VERY impactful, I think Salty is good enough to the point where he can just use stock. Besides, some of those kills he gets an instant before dying wouldn't be possible with the Big Earner, because, again, -25 health

Looks like he listened

@@Ninjaberry17my goat

They were already at a player disadvantage, having a ping disadvantage was too much for the organizers

Plus since they were pretty close to the servers, it was a sign of internet issues

im pretty sure fake ping is a thing done by cheaters as a way to excuse their weird headshots and hits

@@astyurrakureat real ping itself actually benefits 2 of the classes, and the people who were lagging were playing those classes Pyro benefits because flamethrower jank And spy benefits because melee hit detection is client side. If an enemies position is only updating on your screen ~10 times per second as opposed to ~60, it’s a lot easier to hit a backstab.

They were at a player disadvantage. Having a ping disadvantage on top was too much for the organizers

​@@wingdinggaster6737 I dont think thats the case, "they're both at exactly 150 ping, thats intentional"

Not only is that really high ping so its already a little odd (for reference me playing from new Zealand to servers in the US reaches about 130, so south America to North America servers really shouldn't get that), but the fact they had 2 people sitting on EXACTLY the same ping for an extended period and it just happened to be on the classes where high ping actually helps (sniper and spy). There's a decent chance of someone using a lagswitch or having other cheats that also affect ping. So yeah basically just a "ok this is a little bit suspicious, let's just take a moment to check if everythings legit before this starts proper".

if ur in NA, try newbie mixes! it's 6v6 only unfortunately but from what i've heard (from here in the eu where it's impossible to get into comp, lol) its a great way to get into the competitive scene in a low-stakes environment with an experienced coach to help u out.

No, they were already down on team size, being behind in ping was too much disadvantage according to the organizers

@@wingdinggaster6737Oh that makes sense

I haven't played comp HL in like 12 years mind you, but if the meta is the same, it's common practice to either give up first or light hold first because the distance from first to second point is short for offense but long for defense, and the rollout to first just takes too long to be worth trying to defend. If you're wiped or something defending first, you basically are guaranteed to also lose second point and even if you didn't wipe, if you keep losing too many players, the staggering of spawns would make it hard to defend either point. It's just not worth the risk. In 6s, it was less of an issue because everyone rolls out pretty quickly.... But also 6s players hate payload so we rarely had leagues that would have swiftwater in the rotation

what? No? It stands for Big Time sRush

better then salty

Hell yeah, gotta get that big team suck
