Le joueur de CS qui vient du futur #gaming

A Counter Strike player suddenly stops in the middle of a match as if something is wrong.

Five seconds after stopping, the player abruptly turns around and fires into empty space.

What just happened to him and why is he behaving this way?

Examining the server's perspective to understand what actually occurred.

The player experiences such severe lag that from the server's perspective, he is completely frozen because his computer sends no information.

• The player's computer continues running on information received 30 seconds before the lag hit • The player can still see the map and locate enemies in ambush

After 5 seconds, the lag stops and communication between the computer and server is restored.

The server corrects the player's position by placing him in the right location, but he has already seen what awaits him around the corner.

The opponent will never know he just lost to a player who could see the future.

The lagging player had access to future information thanks to the desynchronization between his client and the server.

The duel was not fair because the player had already observed his opponent's position before they traded shots.

The poor opponent literally lost to a guy from the future according to the temporal perspective created by the lag.
