Nice t-side, Keyd, it wasn't enough though

But the dream is alive.

That burn

I've been using a G400 for the last 2 and a half years and I haven't had any problems with the chords (I even threw it in my bag without any kind of protection when I traveled for a couple of months and wanted to play while abroad), using it for at least 40~50 hours per week... And I didn't do anything to "fix" it lol

Chrono Trigger
Used to beat that (doing all the 13 endings) like 3 times per year.

TEENAGE MUTANTE NINJA TURTLES IV TURTLES IN TIME
Best beat'em up ever

Sharknado.

You are forgetting about the brazilian sniper with 200 ms carrying the team [VGS]

That's exactly what I said

And, ONCE AGAIN, since the first line of my first post in here I said it's DIFFERENT to play with an AWP and with a Sniper. And I, PERSONALLY, have more difficulty to play with a sniper even though I have much more experience with TF2 than I have with CSGO.

Start reading my whole posts before you reply, god damnit.

Dude, I'm just talking about my own experience, I never said it was a fact that AWPing is easier than Snipering for everybody. In the part of my post you ignored, I said that it's different and why so, and how they can be harder in different ways. What you could say is that AWPing is more about reaction time and positioning and Snipering is more about raw aiming.

They are different as I said in the first phrase of my other post, but in my own experience, I have more difficulty with playing sniper than with AWPing.

They are both too different from each other. In CS, you are mostly holding fixed angles, the enemies are slower and you have a huge hitbox where you can one-shot people. BUT, you can be smoked, flashed, people can one-shot you with an AK47 from distance and you can't shoot while walking.

In TF2 the other classes can't do much against you if you are far enough and you don't have to deal with recoil due to walking BUT you have to hit headshots, the targets are fast and each class run at different speeds and you have to deal with airbourne targets.

In the 500 hours I have of CSGO, I can play better with an AWP than I can with an sniper in the almost 5000 hours I have of TF2 (I main soldier ok).

What the staff might use to prove someone is cheating isn't something deep hidden by the TF2 Anti-cheating staff illuminati, but little things that people interested in it find out and that works until the cheaters and cheat coders find out.

Using an example I gave in my second post in here, some years ago people found out a console command that let you see which key the guy pressed while watching a demo. After it, the coders updated their cheats to bypass it. But people found out later that when you were using a trigger/aimbot, the time the cheat would take to press and release a button would be inhumanly possible (there is a teamfortress.tv thread about it). And once again the coders bypassed it.

Also there was that time that the coder of an anti-cheat that worked serverside found out a breach that would let him take screenshots of the players screen and upload it to the server's ftp (but as it was a breach in the TF2 security, Valve patched it). The staffs at the time in Brazil actually got a cheater with this (and I think there was a case in Europe too).

Those are the kinds of things that as less people as possible know about, harder will be for the cheats coders and users to realize a way to bypass them.

Also, as I said before, sometimes the staff might receive confessions through a close friend/teammate of the accused, and in respect to the one "snitching", the staff shouldn't publicize it.

Now you are just trying to force it...

No method is perfect. When I was in the staff, I didn't even liked the idea to use demos as the only proof to ban someone. If I got some weird demos, I'd try to investigate the guy to find more evidences.

Those evidences might be a close friend/teammate that got a confession, or proof that that guy blatantly cheating in a secondary account in a pug (to find this kind of thing in our scene is easier because the scene is small and everyone knows everyone) is the accused guy through servers logs. Or even console commands that let you see how many ticks the guy uses to press and release mouse1 everytime he shoots to see if he doesn't have "inhuman reactions". Those are kinds of things the staff can't release to the public. As small scenes, both the FBTF and the ETF2L don't have enough resources to create and manage an anti-cheat software so the methods become foolproofs as you sugest.

But, as I said before, no method is perfect. The staff CAN make mistakes (as you said, I believe Powah's ban was a mistake by the staff at the time), but if they release the demos for the community to judge, they would be bombarded by the vocal people that will defend the accused no matter what (and the staff will only be able to ban someone due to VAC Bans and confessions). You guys already trust in the staff when you leave to them to be as unbiased as possible for every league decisions, give them this same trust in the anti-cheating department.

One last thing, before I left the FBTF staff, I had a project to create a secret anti-cheating staff. The project was to call people that I trust, from different teams and social circles and that I know that knows the game well. Nobody except me and the co-headstaff would know who they were (and they wouldn't know who the others were either). So I'd get opinions from different sides and avoid any bias.

Powah going for the 10k.
Also, the third place hasn't been online on steam for more than an year, he would be at 12k+ nowadays if he hadn't quit.

As someone who was the Headstaff for an year in South America, I understand ETF2L. Bans based on demo reviews can be really polemic because if you release it to the community, the guy's friends will be really biased and try to find excuses for what he does. Once I reviewed a demo of someone and asked the accused guy to explain what happened in each play, he found an excuse for each one of them, but later he confessed he was really cheating (also he couldn't explain why he pressed mouse2 when playing scout every time he started shooting someone and then released it after the guy died, because he binded his trigger to mouse2 and I caught that in the demo). Also, sometimes the staff finds a way that proves someone is cheating and doesn't want to make it easy for people to counter it.

Now we are talking.

I'm going to buy one for my awp.

By the way, it feels kinda bad that the 3 teams I'm supporting (Keyd, CLG and NiP) are in the same group :(
