Confirmed-Catdog dropped a 29-2 vs ERA yesterday in PC when the servers basically crashed around everyone around 7-9 central

Its was so bad, we were kicked from the match 3 or 4 times before being allowed into the match, and inside, with null cannons firing, neither MCC would lose a tick for 5 minutes at a time

The rest of the world promptly had 5-15 deaths

And no one else in the match touched over 20 kills (Pretty sure)

Hacks? Maybeee

Cheating? Maybeee

Pie? Yes

Preferably pecan

Or maybe he was smart enough to realize that there is a pattern to the lag we experienced and every few minutes between the lag spikes player input was recognized by the server.

I took advantage of those few minutes to get in the speed hacks we desperately needed netting me around 17 deaths, and doge used those few minutes to clear the area with his shotgun of people who were blindly running into the points trying to get the hack or stopping me from getting my hacks in.

When you play this game long enough you start being able to recognize and take advantage of the bugs and glitches that run rampant in this lovely game we play. Not to say I wasnt surprised to see him drop 28/2 but the combination of his skill, map, circumstance and chosen role I don't find what he did impossible to achieve, just very hard to do for players of less skill and stature.

Feel free to continue screaming 'cheater' though, while everyone else is busy making excuses as to why they are inadequate, players like catdog just get better every day. Besides you guys are pumping up his ego with all this, I'd be flattered to receive hate threads but alas I am not nearly as skilled as my dogey :3

Besides you guys are pumping up his ego with all this, I'd be flattered to receive hate threads but alas I am not nearly as skilled as my dogey :3 Here's the thing. He either knew when the lag spikes were going to start and end... or he didn't experience them at all. Sorry, but you don't don't go 28/2, with a 20-something killstreak in those circumstances. Nobody in the match broke 10 kills, and certainly nobody did it while on the ground in the chaos. Here's this guy, that almost always never uses his mic, never pulls off a game that's even close to a 1 KDR, no matter who, what, how, or where he plays. Add that PC, plus the countless other times we've all seen him do things that are just not possible under normal circumstances and he's either a cheater, or literally one of the very best players on the planet and for some reason hasn't been approached to go professional... If he's that good, why wouldn't he be playing tournaments? I hear the prize pools in those things these days are in the $10,000s... My background allowed me to see what the best players in the world play like, and how good they really are. I'm going to firmly believe that nobody can be that consistent in a game that's this inconsistent. We've all been on the receiving end, and we've all said the same thing... "why isn't he taking damage? How is he that fast? How did he shoot me from behind that wall? etc, etc, etc..." Maybe he's not blatently cheating, but obvious he has external circumstances that are giving him a clear & cut advantage. Its ruins the romance of it, to know when somebody you looked up to cheats. People don't want to believe it. People don't want to hear about how Hulk Hogan was on steroids. People don't want to hear how Lance Armstrong blood doped to an almost lethal extent. People don't want to hear about Sosa and Maguire taking roids either... I certainly don't want a friend of mine in this game; someone I respect as a player to be found a cheater. It actually breaks my heart a little the more I realize that he is. If it looks and quacks like a duck... it's a Catdog. Pubs are those pesky things that we need to get our SP.
