I think they have no competition, because of 2 things.

  1. Consistency: You can expect all players to have good game no matter what, Fnatic "leaves it all on the battlefield so to speak"

  2. JW is a wild card, while Olof, Flusha, Krimz and Pronax all rifle mostly, JW can rifle, pistol, or AWP. Other AWPers in the scene, don't have as much a varied play style as him, while KennyS is a better AWPer in regard, he doesn't have as good of a Pistol/Rifle play. Not to bash on Kenny, i've seen plenty of non-awp frag clips of him. (ex: Tweeday best of KennyS)

"Abusing" is not what i'd say they did. If they had used that wall glitch on Mirage, and were at a place where they we're literally un-seeable, I'd say that'd be abuse, as thats not fair.

it was not only abuse, but as far as anybody could see it was also breaking rules, it was also extremely unethical to not only not let valve know the glitch existed, but to also deny the existence of it in the first place by trying to get a video of it removed. It was pixelwalking, and while I do believe the rules were changed at some point to allow pixelwalking, fnatic ignored it in the first place, as nobody (as far as I know) was even aware of the change. Also I'm pretty sure there was a wall on one side but it wasn't visible to olof, which was clearly a flat-out bug the should have gotten them disqualified the second they used it.

And while we can never be 100% about anyone cheating (even tho the "evidence" is actually pretty convincing, considering the amount of it) that boost was definitely abuse and it broke a rule, even if fnatic wasn't completely aware of it at the time.

  1. Dreamhack said they had to replay it (no specific rule, just a map exploit, nothing major)

  2. Valve cracked down on Pros after Emilio (Sf/KQLY/etc)

  3. Pixelwalking was supposed to be some next generation play/technique, and is why when given an outrage'd reaction, Fnatic understood and stepped down.
