maybe, perhaps in an arctic environment the polar bear has an edge, but in the jungle the gorilla wins

tiger > bear
hippo > moose
chimp > troops
pitbull > cub
gorilla > polar bear

Elijah has full intentions to play at the next lan, using all rented or borrowed peripherals, borrowed cfg or no cfg, and a rental PC in an attempt to show that he can perform just as well in that environment as any

yay <3

Underwhelming as usual

He posts the demos publicly in his twitch description (and I linked the drive in my post)

I understand I come from a position of bias here being the guys teammate, but I will explain my reasoning for why I genuinely don't think Eli is cheating.

For starters, Eli has been cooperating with the anti cheat team since before his ban was even over, he streams all matches, has streamed with both monitor cam and hand cam in the past, and provides his all of his pov demos publicly and to the admins (https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1nKp4M6EH-xtf-cSVWu3GfZmhfkAi63N5). Additionally, he streams himself launching tf2 with his task manager open, and streams his executed programs at the end of each stream. Technically I think its still possible to hide cheats with this, but things like the hand cam, streaming every match, and publicly providing all pov demos are things that are not necessary to do and make it significantly harder to hide cheats.

Also, I think that some of the clips posted by Dippidy are weird, but not necessarily damning at all. Especially considering Eli streams at 30 fps, so frame by frame analysis is not very strong. I think if you took any good or even decent player and analyzed a 30fps replay of a stream vod you would find clips like this. I would encourage you to look at his pov demos (that he provided) of each of those instances and see if they aren't at least mitigated by the extra data. There are even points within the clips that Dippidy shows where he says that "oh that last part looks normal" or "yeah guess thats not as bad as what happens next" (paraphrasing). Given these factors I don't think that there is strong enough evidence that he cheats.

Another thing that has sorta shattered any doubt in my mind is that Eli has told me his intentions to play at the upcoming Philly LAN, and has stated that he will use someone else's config/usb and be playing on a rental. Obviously LAN hasn't happened yet and he could go there and beef and not prove anything, but I think that if someone was cheating, they wouldn't be as eager as he was to play and compete on LAN.

Eli was also grinding pugs/dm during the duration of his ban, so when people say "woah he hasn't played in so long/since his ban and now hes goated!!" sarcastically, it doesn't really hold up.

I just wanna end off by saying that before I was picked up for his team I was skeptical and I looked at a lot of the hackusations being sent out and I genuinely was not convinced of them, and I genuinely looked at the ones Dippidy posted here trying to throw away any bias and could not conclusively say that any of the clips were damning. If someone sends a clip that is stronger/more convincing i will leave the team instantly and disassociate myself from him, but I just haven't been convinced yet.

Euro admins mad they get 2piped across the map but are too embarrassed to say that so the excuse they use to ban the loch is that its too easy to spam guns with it (???)

from the logs looks like it was on old metal, but in the video its still strange cus it looks like meyy is also out of blast radius of the stickies but we don't get the best angle from sin karma's pov

Not entirely sure since I haven't looked at the decompiled map but this looks like func_clip_vphysics was used to block stickies for this door and the player is still standing inside the brush while firing. There are some jump maps that do this and the stickies look similar as they do in this vid.

Guy is spitting. Having rgl schedule important early season matches that are influential for seeding one (1) day before they are played is insane.

"aren't you the invite medic that didn't get anything?"

anyone remember when booties meta was a thing for a season
