    Ok so i was playing CS source today and there were two guys who had like 150 kills apiece (in a instant respwan DM) and only like 20 deaths. Now there were 16 players in both teams. We tried attacking one of them like 5 guys at once but he smoked us all in abt 2 seconds. Now this server was an Valve anti cheat secure server and all.

    I asked them how they were so good. One of them said they were Cevo.
    What is cevo? and can someone really be that good to kill 5 decent players at once? :confused:

    pay to play league, but there are still different division (bad, good, best) But it's competitive and players practice it like a sport o_O

    Valve's anti cheat is not that hard to bypass

    I still don't get the purpose of cheating at all. Why play?

    why would you devote that much time to CS:S? I don't even think it's that fun.

    lmao I love anchor arms... bought a pair for mother's day :p.

    Players who are dedicated and skilled are masters at what they do. Watch pro FPS players on Halo 3... they have great instincts and reactions.

    Cheating is a different story.
