Draw your own conclusions.

Is it probably just a lucky random shot? Or is it more likely he's using cheats on stage at a LAN event?

lot's of luck going around in the CSGO scene

Are you kidding, lucky random shot...the odds of misfiring while jerking your mouse around and perfectly hitting an invisible enemy by accident are astonomical.

Those little accidents happen a lot more with CS pro players, even on lan.

Yes of course it is much more likely they actually cheat on lan and those are accidental wrong use of their cheats, rather than random accidents bordering on unbelievable.

I don't watch/play CSGO, but the commentator said he knew s1mple was hurt in the smoke. And "perfect" is not the word I would use to describe. The smoke was between two box stacks, there was a narrow area where someone could be crossing and open to fire, and it was a body shot, not a headshot. Plus, CSGO hitreg is nutty (in my limited experience) and with weapon spread, just seems like a fluke to me. Flukes happen.

The nile.
Not just a river in Africa.

Yea, you got me.

The commentators knew what was going on. When big money is involved, many people close both eyes because losing those star players, teams even when they are cheating ON FUCKING LAN would mean negative publicity and risking the money flow to dry out.

Same with valve actually. Does anyone think they couldn't possibly have better cheat detection/prevention? No, they did expose some cheaters before and saw how it negatively influenced their cash flow, thus decided to lay low with the effort, I'm sure of that.

100%. After that big detection wave that shook the pro scene, they decided it's better to never do that again.

Vac is shit now, it doesn't detect anything now, at every level of play in cs there are vegetables that can barely walk around yet flick AWPS like top pros, shoot full auto ak with no recoil at any distance, etc.

If 14 years old kids are allowed to do that with free to play accounts, that tells how hard it is for pros paying high level programmers thousands of dollars per month to code them the good shit to pass undetected.

And comentators would never dare act weirded out even if some pro actually turned on a spinbot in the center of the map and soloed the enemy team.

I remember trying Counterstrike. It was shit.
I remember Counterstrikers on LAN as the loud guys with alcohol in their breath that would disturb me when I was playing the Quake tournament. They are shit.

Everything about this game is shit. And if you're even interested in it, you are too.

Camping is the major part of the DNA in this game regardless how people try to reframe it ... like « defending an area » ... and then they stay half minute or longer at the same spot hoping someone runs in their crosshair

Gotta hold the angle while toggling wh :^)

You should've punched the primitives in the face

Too many of them :(

@50 seconds

I thought it was impressive and really different from Quake or fast paced FPS.
