Yeah, now I'm nostalgic as fuck. Good article!

Yes, he cheated and got banned for 18 months. But the story is much more complicated than the one told in the video. The video is heavily biased in Boshy's favour, and basically exonerates him as a reformed person. But the video creator did not reach out to the people who spent many hours investigating him to counteract this bias. Sadly, there isn't (yet) a video that describes this event well enough, not all infirmation about this case is in the jump forums

One thing to note is that Boshy has a history of lying for personal gain. Most notably, he posted an initial apology where he promised that he never cheated any courses (this apology is omitted in the video). At that time, no cheated courses had yet been proven, and it was only later that it was proven that he also cheated courses. Of course, his new apology was then that he cheated only bonuses and courses, but no maps. Given that he lied in his previous "apology", any sane person would question whether his new apology is really genuine, but the video just takes his new apology at face value without question. I personally think he lied in his first "apology" to get away with a lesser ban.

His playstyle was so unique and memorable. RIP

Sorry for off-topic but that video is poorly researched at best and cheater apologia at worst.

Honestly really enjoy these interviews, lots of good memories throughout the years. Thanks for uploading

you can fundraise £250 by placing top 3 in the tournament

When you play back demos at an extremely low speed, you will just see interpolated mouse movement (as trippa stated previously), and you won't see the actual recorded angles in the demo file itself. Literally 99.99% of what you see is interpolated mouse movement and not the actual data, so this type of evidence is inconclusive.

If you want to see the actual recorded angles, you have to go through a POV demo tick-by-tick while paused.

EDIT: One more thing, you can just check the angles within cl_showpos 1 while paused. Much better method than drawing lines on a video.

Sniper limit 0 on product is the way to go tbh.

The forward spawn on 2nd needs to be fixed. Right now, you can spawn inside the trigger that opens the door, which will instantly kill you with no way to avoid it if the demo sticky traps forward.

As an observer, every cheatfeed solution I have used required me to keep track of two screens at the same time, which is not optimal because observing TF2 requires you to pay close attention of what happening in fights. If you want to observe well, you have to make split-second decisions on who to observe in team fights, otherwise you will miss important parts of the fight (that don't show up on the cheatfeed). With the cheatfeed, you may be able to show more big plays, but the game overall will become harder to follow for the viewer because the observer is distracted.

The best solution to this problem is the approach we had in RCADIA, which is that the technical director just keeps an eye on the cheatfeed and tells the observer if something big is coming up. That way the observer is fully focused on the game but can still capture all the big plays. However, this requires two people to pull off, so obviously it's not feasible for online production for the most part.

honestly considering how they butchered the two swedish characters (one of which can't even pronounce his own name) it's a good thing to not be "represented"

edit: wrong thread

Adysky brings up a great point on gambling websites. I actually think this topic deserves its own thread. I checked the TF2Easy site and I saw numerous red flags:

• Missing contact and legal information. There is no information on who is running or operating the site, or what country the site is based in. The only contact information I could find was an the e-mail admin@tf2easy.com in the TOS. Who is really behind this site? Are they hiding behind anonymity to escape legal action?
  
• Potentially targeting children. Only in the TOS, which is linked in the bottom of the webpage is it stated that users have to be 18 years or older to use the site. The user does not have to confirm that they agree with the TOS when they register, nor to they have to provide any kind of evidence that they are actually 18+.
  
• Aggressive advertising. According to their about page, they take 10% commission normally, but only 8% for users who advertise the site with their Steam name. These are very high commission rates and they use a very unethical method for advertising the website.

Casting orgs and leagues should not give 18+ sites any kind of promotion, especially not sites that are as questionable as TF2easy. There are many minors in the competitive TF2 scene that could be influenced by top teams promoting gambling sites and start to gamble themselves. Since there isn't an age verification system on TF2Easy, this is even bigger of a problem.
