Each morning, the creators of the biggest games on PC rejoin their ceaseless battle against cheaters.
The Olofboost isn't isn't some common hack you'd find on a sketchy Russian site, but an undiscovered ace card that was played at the highest echelon of Counter-Strike—a Major tournament. In 2014, this piggyback maneuver shook the Counter-Strike community and altered the result of one of the biggest esports events of the year: was it a dirty cheat, or a brilliant exploit?
It's not uncommon for CS:GO teams to reveal newly-developed tactics in big tournaments, but no exploit pushed boundaries quite as much as the Olofboost. At Dreamhack, Swedish favorites Fnatic trotted out a triple boost on de_overpass where players stood on each others' shoulders in order to achieve a towering, above-the-map view well beyond what the designers had intended.
Fnatic achieved this advantage by"pixelwalking," stepping along some invisible geometry they'd discovered within the map. It turned out to be a desperate move—pixelwalking"where the textures, walls, ceilings, floors become transparent or penetrable" was banned by Dreamhack. Tournament organizers initially struggled to make a ruling in the midst of the match, but under community criticism and official pressure, Fnatic eventually forfeited the match.
Then things escalate: a green-haired player pops up riding piggyback on his character and repeatedly strokes his neck. And as soon as he starts to run away in fear and confusion, green-haired clones start popping up behind him and giving chase. Somehow it only gets stranger from there. The hack is bizarre and wildly entertaining to watch, but the real joy is listening to Breckon narrate exactly what happened to him with the panicked confusion we'd all feel in that situation.
