Hey guys, what's up?
Here's guerri, FURIA's CS:GO Head Coach
I came here to talk about the video shared today at september 2, 2020
by Michal (@michau9_)
which is the admin of championships games we participate
but before speaking about the video, which we are going to do a lot
I want to thank Michal for everything he's been doing for CS:GO and the community
This guy is doing an insane, terrific job
he's putting his personal life apart
3 weeks working 12h hours a day to analyze more than 1500 demos
So, we need people like him on our environment, on esports in general
so we can have fair competitions during the pandemic we've been through and can't play on LAN
so, before starting the video, I want to say that I support the work he's been doing
Thank you Michal!
Guys, you are going to realize I’m pausing the video for a few moments, since I’m doing this alone
I don’t want to rush it and say anything stupid, you might see a few cuts and think “He could’ve edited that”
But no, it's just me pausing the video so I can pass the information clear to you, ok?
Another thing I want to say to you, I don’t think is right or ethical to commentate about any other case regarding the bug
I’m here to simply talk to you about what happened in that week, because I’m going to talk about 2 games
18 of March of 2019 versus LG in the ECS Week 2 where it happened for a little bit
And also I will talk about the shared video that happened in Mirage versus complexity, on the 20th day of March in 2019
I’m here just to talk about me and will not comment about any other case, ok?
Well, now I’ll talk about what I’m going to do in this video, for you that doesn’t want to watch the whole video
I’ll let you know what I’m doing here, I will grab our recording from the games, with our comms and the whole game
Which is an unusual thing, for me to provide the whole unedited video, so it stays clear what happened that day
My communication, if I told anyone about anything, so you will have the whole video
If you don’t want to watch me, you can go to the description and watch the unedited video
Here I’ll go point by point, I’m going to pause and explain what happened, I’ll give a more detailed explanation
If you don’t want to watch everything you can visit my unedited pov, which is linked in the description below
So, let's go to the video!
Wait a second guys, before we go to the video I have a few more things to say, sorry
If anyone has any question, any companies, websites, my DM is open and I’m willing to talk about any question you may have
So please, contact me because I am willing to clarify everything and leave it transparent
Because this is how I believe it’s supposed to be done, I’m an extremely honest person
And you will see what happened in this video
Well guys, another important thing I want to explain in this video is: What is the coach bug? That everyone is talking about
The coach bug is basically that randomly I’ll stay in a position on the map where I can move my camera (hi cypher mains)
And have information about my adversary which I can share with my team, that’s the bug
When I’m coaching in game, I can only see my players and I can’t see random parts of the map
That’s why it’s called a bug, because it is something that should not be happening, ok?
Another important thing that I have to address to you, it’s the Alt Tab function which I will talk about it, because I use it a lot
What is Alt Tabbing? I’m explaining like this, because this video might reach people that don’t play CS and are not used to use PCs
If I’m on the game screen and I Alt Tab I’ll go to another screen, which can be anything that is open on my PC
Since it’s something I used a lot in the games because I didn’t want to take advantage of the bug
You will see I lose the in game sound, when that happens, it’s because I’m Alt Tabbed
The bug is when my in game camera sits randomly somewhere on the map and I can’t watch my players directly
And the Alt Tab is me pressing the keys Alt + Tab to exit the game screen, and not watch the game
The bug is a problem from the game, but what you do with it, it’s a much larger problem
Because it turns into an immoral, dishonest and unfairness actions
What I’m going to leave clear on this video, is how I acted when this bug happened, because I didn’t know what was happening back then
Lets go to the video, I’ll take you step-by-step so you will understand what happened during the game
Now let's go to the video, I changed the scene so I can show you.
This is the video I recorded during the game, my point of view, ok?
This is right in the beginning we will have sound here, and I will be explaining point by point as things happen
(guerri ingame) Let's go guys!
this is when the knife round started
Knife round is used to determine which side the teams will begin
This is the bug, and I shouldn’t be able to see this, I should be in one of my player’s point of view
And knife round will start in 10 secs. I thought something was weird so I Alt Tabbed, you can see my cursor in the screen
I no longer have sound of the game, only my player’s comms
You can see I’m Alt Tabbed because the players are moving slower than usual, and you'll see that again and again
Knife round will begin and my camera is stopped, I’m going to fast forward a little bit, knife round will be done
Yeaaaah! VERY NICE VINI, YOU BIG SAUSAGE
VINI makes a joke about we picking T side
And now the game begins, and now the communication of the game starts
I’m still stuck here but I’m Alt Tabbed, ok?
I’ll fast forward a little bit, because I’m still Alt Tabbed
They rushed Palace and I can’t listen to the game
Pistol round is going on and I’ll fast forward a little bit so I can show what happened to me, the “sensitive” part
And I’m still out of the game
Right now, I don’t know if it's a bug in the game. I think that it will return eventually
I’m Alt Tabbed so I don’t have any information, and I hope when I return to the game, I’ll see my player’s pov again
I believe it’s right now when I’ll start moving my mouse, fast forward a little bit
Here I can watch the game, you can see I heard the window breaking
Now I’m back and I’m thinking “What happened, it’s still bugged? It’s still weird, it’s really a bug”
So I Alt Tabbed again, you can see my cursor and the lack of in game sound, I can’t see anything else
I realized there was something wrong and I can’t stay watching this screen anymore
because I’ll get unfair information that could harm the other team and hurt the competitivity of the game
I’m no longer in the game, and the comms continue
Just so it stays clear, this video will be shared in its unedited version, so you will be able to see everything and draw your own conclusions
Here you can see the characters are really laggy and I don’t have in game sound, this means I’m Alt Tabbed, I can’t see anything
I return for a brief moment, I pressed Tab and Alt Tabbed again
As I said previously, I’ll pause for some moments and explain point by point, because there’s a lot to talk about
Keep in mind that I like to stand behind the players, you have seen this multiple times in multiple streams
When the bug happened, I Alt Tabbed and went to stand behind the players thinking
“I’m not gonna ruin the game, I’m going to stay behind them and won’t let them see my screen" that’s why I Alt Tabbed
So, that is exactly what I did, since I coach behind them, I didn’t stay at my computer, I just stood by them
This doesn’t change the fact that I made a mistake, I could’ve disconnected since the bug is going on for so long
But, at that moment, I didn’t realize it was a bug, I thought it would come back
You will see in the game versus LG, where I had the bug in the beginning of the game that it fixes itself after a short time and I return to my player’s POV
I didn’t know the bug would keep going, that’s why I Alt Tabbed and went to stand behind the players
But this doesn’t change the fact that I could’ve disconnected from here, ok?
Since I have done multiple times with more experience where I realized the bug wouldn’t go away
And that it would continue leaving the possibility to gather information about my adversary, that in any other way I wouldn’t have
I would instantly ask for a tech pause and disconnect from the game, which Michal (@michau9_) congratulated me
Where he watched multiple demos to look for people who were unfair, and I disconnected multiple times
But back then, one year and a half ago, I didn’t have enough experience, did not know what was going on
And I didn’t know the bug would stay for the whole map, I thought it would fix itself after a while
I wanted to make these points clear, because when I’m Alt Tabbed, I’m not on my PC
My coaching style is standing behind the players and this happened multiple times after these games and I made the right decision
The decision I should’ve made in these two games. But when I realized what was going on, I did not use it unfairly
As you will be able to see the whole unedited video, which is in description below
And here I’m showing you point by point and you will be able to hear through the comms that I didn’t use anything, ok?
Going back to the video now, the screen is now stopped
Look, there’s the player, see that I have his information? And that he’s laggy and I don’t have the game sound
Now I returned, see the difference? I came back from alt+tab and left at the same moment thinking its not fixed, I already left
And then it was 1-1
going to jump a few moments so this doesn’t take so long, cause the video is probably long already
here I’m going to go back for a bit, I’m not in game here, see I don’t have sound? I don’t have it
I’m still out of the game
"hey, it's a gun round, gun round" (guerri's voice on the game office)
That is my voice saying it’s a gun round, because I know it
Here's another moment that I turn my screen
I’m gonna let this round play out, I know it's tiring but I’ll let it play out
See how the sound returned? When it returns it's because I’m no longer Alt Tabbed and I’m back in the game
Now I’m like, “Am I still seeing this?”
I Alt Tabbed again because I realized it was still bugged and I left
You can see here that I could tell arT something, take advantage of information so he wouldn’t die
Round was still going, it was 3v3, I could’ve said something, but I didn’t
I wasn’t even in the game, I wasn’t here. I was behind them, ok?
So you can see how the advantage of using the bug would be for me to talk
If I say: "arT there’s a guy on bench" or "watch out there might be one guy bench" or something like that.
Would mean that I would be using this bug, something that the game presented itself, which I didn’t know how to react, and the reason I alt tabbed and left my pc
But what makes the bug dishonest is me talking. So, lets continue to some more important moments
KSCERATO is saying “2 underpass”, arT died and said there’s 1 in bench
than KSCERATO says “I’m deep in apartments” and then I say “KSCERATO has full control of B site”
This is my screen as a coach, how do I know KSCERATO is deep in apartments if I’m here? Because I’m standing behind him
I’m communicating to yuurih, which currently is in A site
So here it demonstrates perfectly that I’m not at my PC, and I can’t even see because I’m alt tabbed, on another screen
and I’m saying “KSCERATO has B”, I reinforced what KSCERATO said, I usually do that, which helps the whole team
So again, I’m sharing internal things, strategical actions that my adversaries can now see
because that’s how we work here @FURIA, make everything transparent for you, because I wasn’t being dishonest
The bug just happened and I didn’t know how to act at that time, it was a lack of experience
then after, when I understood the bug was really really unfair, I disconnected and with more experience, I just disconnected because it happened multiple times
so, here was another important point to show you, that I’m behind KSCERATO. I wouldn’t be able to tell "KSCERATO is in control of B" from here
Now I’m gonna fast forward a bit. Again, I’m jumping forward but the full video will be in the description below
Fast forwarding just a little more, it will happen something like what happened to KSCERATO
I’m in game, bugged, which I could be taking advantage and arT is going to say something
See, there’s a T passing here, and I could say we have an AWP in middle, "watch out for catwalk" (said in the official comms) cause we have no one there
And now arT says:
(arT) "stay A, stay A, stay A"
He’s saying to stay A because B is his, and then I reinforced "arT has control of B"
That means I’m behind arT
And again, you are not listening to the in game sound, see? We can only hear the communication, because I’m Alt Tabbed, how I said to you a couple times before
Let's fast forward a little bit more
This is the round 3-4, arT gets first kill
Round communication is going on
Communication still going on, normally
VINI died to the T in underpass, he was a little crazy KEKW
KSCERATO is saying he has control of B
(KSCERATO) Can they go through catwalk?
“Can they go through catwalk?” KSCERATO asks if that could happen, look what is going on in my screen
If I was abusing the bug, if I was being dishonest. What would I say?
arT says they can’t go catwalk to B, look here, they are going catwalk to B
yuurih dies, and I’m not even seeing anything, you can’t hear any sound (because he was Alt Tabbed)
KSCERATO says he has control of B, and thats it
You can even see here (ingame chat) yuurih saying VINI needs to pay attention
OMEGALUL
There’s one more important point here
18 (minutes)
I listed everything here, otherwise I would be here talking for a whole hour
Here a T will go to connector, he went in connector
This T will take us by surprise
KSCERATO dies in B and there’s a T hiding in connector
look, yuurih is asking for flash connector
And the T already surprised them, I didn’t say anything
I could’ve said he went in connector and he would take us by surprise, but that didn’t happen, because yuurih dies, ok?
I’m going to fast forward a bit, but just to remember you, the whole unedited video will be in the description below and you can watch it without my ugly face (liar) talking here with you :)
Something that happens a few times, I’m not going back to my screen, you can see its not moving because the last time I tried to see anything, and it was still bugged
So everytime I come back now, I do it so I can press Tab to show the scoreboard, so I can see our team’s economy
It's going to happen now
See? I pressed Tab. When that happens, it means I’m in game
but it was on freezetime, see?
And I’m out again. See the cursor is popping on the screen? It’s because I left
I pressed Tab again and I will leave again
(guerri ingame) “They won $1.900”
I’m talking about the economy, see?
I think this is the last part I want to show you, and then you can see the whole video the way you want it, analyse and draw your own conclusions
It is in our T pistol when the half is over, and I communicate
we are going A
Watch the radar, I’m gonna pause here
I repeat a lot of the comms from my players to help them
(arT) Ticket Booth
(VINI) catwalk
“Ticket Booth” (ingame comms) and VINI saw someone in catwalk
(guerri ingame) Two on respawn
“Two on respawn” See that I can see two CTs on the radar? Two red dots
that means there are two on respawn
I’m communicating for KSCERATO and arT, which are respectively the yellow and purple dots
But in reality there’s 2 window, and the CT in window killed VINI, he wasn’t expecting it, 2 CTs there
So, this shows, yes the bug happened, I was punished by it. I could’ve disconnected which is where I made a mistake, ok?
But as I said it to you, the bug is something from the game.
It happened to me, and I thought it would return to normal, like it happened on Train vs LG, which I will show you next
But, it didn’t return to normal, and as I saw I could use information I wouldn’t be able to get in any other way
I Alt Tabbed and didn’t use (my PC) anymore. I only returned to my PC, so I could see the scoreboard and check the economy
So I wouldn’t have to go into a player’s computer and press Tab
Since I watch the games standing behind them, I’m always watching and reinforcing communication
There’s not a single moment of the whole unedited video you have access to, that I used any information from the bug
After that, I realized it wasn’t going back by itself, and I’m thinking “There’s something wrong with this”
So I disconnected, which it’s what I did every other time, ok?
Here I want to conclude the part I’m demonstrating and talking about everything that’s happening in this game
And I will also talk about the game vs LG, which was the first game that this happened
I started talking about this game (FURIA vs coL), because it was the one that Michal (@michau9_) talked about on Twitter
Now I’m gonna talk about the game vs LG, but this video will be available in its unedited version so you can see and draw your own conclusions
Hey guys, let’s see the game vs LG, the game happened 2 days before the game vs coL, and it was on Train
(guerri talking about his biceps workout)
Here you can listen that I’m not on my computer, when I’m on the server as a coach, I’m not on my PC
I’m talking to them outside of my PC, you can hear through an open mic
(game comms) “Rush B, yuurih you are going to smoke”
yuurih you gonna do that and I’m talking
Remember you will have this whole unedited video too
I'm going fast forward, ok?
I stopped talking and the players are on their PC ready to play
Here we will have the knife round, when I got into my PC, I don’t understand what’s going on, I press Tab
(arT malding)
I thought it was weird and we have the knife round as soon as it happens
We lost the knife round, and the game is live
Still not out? I thought it would fix by itself, thought it could be a bug in the knife round
You can see I’m a little lost, maybe when the round begins the round... I don't know
I have in game sound, see that I can hear it? I’m like “What? I can hear something”
And then I instantly Alt Tab, you can see we lost the in game sound
Also, imagine if I were to use this information in my favor
The game just started and we can’t see any CT in this region, and my team is going B
This means we are heading right into a stack in B, where everyone is, because if there’s no one here
I could easily have said “Guys go pop dog to A, there’s no one there” “Maybe its a B stack”
I’m not saying anything, I’m not even in game anymore
I Alt Tabbed and thought “I’m not gonna stay here, what if something goes wrong, I’m not gonna do that”
And we went into the B stack
This part of the bug will also be available in the description below, and I’ll fast forward a bit
(guerri ingame) Technical Pause
And then I say, please do a tech pause
(guerri ingame) Just do a Tech Pause, Technical Pause, I’m asking
And you can see I’m a little desperate in my voice, Tech Pause please
And then I quit
(guerri ingame) Gonna quit and return because my CS is frozen
I didn’t want to say anything to the players, because not even I knew what was going on
And here I’m rejoining the game
See, when I join the game, I’ll even return a bit
When I joined the game, I don’t know what's happening, how can I see the player in 3rd person
This is going to go back to normal, there’s no way
When I see this is happening, when I see it’s not going back, I’m Alt Tabbing to see if returns, I don’t know what’s happening
When the round starts I Alt Tab, you can see there’s no ingame sound again, why? Because I saw something was wrong
I could not be watching the game like this, you can see the screen is not moving
(ableJ) they are rushing b ramp
"they are rushing b ramp"
And there will be a situation, 4v3 for them, we entered the site, one more died 4v2 now
One of them died, yuurih died and we have 3v1
Here I returned, you can see the player is moving differently and the sound is back
I’m still like “What? It’s not back to normal yet?”
When I got to here I thought “I could receive unfair information” I’ll Alt Tab again
I Alt Tabbed and you can see there’s no more in game sound
Look at what’s happening, he’s planting and I can see the guy from ivy, funniest thing, it’s actually HEN1
Today he plays with me, he’s one of the FURIA players, I’m not saying anything, there’s no information
After this round, everything will be back to normal. Out of nowhere, everything is normal again
This is the connection I wanted to do, this was the first game that the bug happened
That happened in my whole career, I didn’t even know this was a bug, and it returned
When we were on Mirage (vs coL) and the bug happened again, I was focused in the game
I didn’t disconnect, which again, I take full responsibility for not doing it
But since on Train it got back to normal, I thought on Mirage the same would happen too
But you can see and you will see it for yourselves, since the unedited video is in the description below
That I did not use any information from the bug to get my team the victory, the bug just happened
And I acted differently than I should have, the right way would be to act like the new times that this happened
Where I disconnected every time and left the game
Since this was the beginning and I thought it would return to normal, I didn’t disconnect from the game
So here, we got through 2 games, the Mirage game vs coL and the Train game vs LG
Which happened close to each other, but then it didn’t happen any other time
This is where we finish the part of this video where I’m explaining to you my thought process on the games with you
Showing and explaining the video shared today on september 2, 2020 about me
Saying I used the bug to our advantage so we could win in a dishonest manner
I’m not dishonest, I’m incredibly honest as I have been praised about it several times
Which I get nothing more for being honest, I have to be honest, it is my character
It’s not affecting FURIA, my players, It’s affecting me, so here I wanted to clarify everything
The bug happened, but I did not use it to my advantage, I was fair even though I didn’t know how to react to it back then
Guys, here I’m ending the video explaining my view of what happened
Where I showed everything that happened on the game versus coL, and what happened with LG where the bug took place
One more time, I will release the unedited version of the game vs coL because it happened during the whole game
And I will share the beginning of the game versus LG, because that’s where the bug happened
Simply because there’s too much technical and tactical information, it is precious information for us
And I want to leave all of my social media and DMs open to anyone who wants to talk to me
I probably won’t be able to answer all of you, but on the last days I have been trying to talk more with all of you
Listen to the critics, bring it internally so we could fix it, it’s available and I want to clarify every question you may have
Thank you that stayed all the way to the end and wanted to know our side of the history
We still have a lot of games, ESL Pro League started today and we started with a victory today
There’s more games to come next week, and the work will go on
This video is the answer to every FURIA fan, the whole CSGO community
Because it's clear I did not use the bug as an advantage for my team
And if any admin has any question and wants to contact me and talk to me to see what happened on any round
I’m available to talk and provide with any information you might need, because this is how we work at FURIA
Transparent and Honest
Fine?
Good bye! <3
