Treyarch respond after Nadeshot and Priestahh highlight specialist \u201cglitch\u201d at CWL Champs 2019 Instagram: Nadeshot, Priestahh\/CWLTreyarch Gameplay Designer Tony Flame has responded to a debate surrounding Ruin\u2019s Gravity Slam in Black Ops 4, after 100 Thieves were the victims of a bizarre incident at CWL Champs 2019. 100 Thieves were playing Luminosity Gaming in the Winners Bracket Round 1, in a clash of two juggernauts that many expected to see later in the tournament. At 2-1 down, 100 Thieves had their backs against the wall in Frequency Hardpoint. The game was tightly contested, but a controversial moment dominated the immediate aftermath, as a Priestahh Gravity Slam failed to kill any Luminosity players, despite seemingly occurring in a packed room. Luminosity were 219-170 down, but secured the map\u2019s second hardpoint, as well as spawns. 100 Thieves looked to break around Priestahh\u2019s Gravity Slam, but the specialist ability failed to kill any of the Luminosity players. Luminosity held the hardpoint to perfection, cementing the map (and series) win, sending Nadeshot\u2019s organization into the Losers Bracket in a surprising upset. However, many were quick to question the incident, arguing that the game glitched and Priestahh should have got numerous kills. OpTic Gaming\u2019s CEO, Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2019 Rodriguez, tweeted that he didn\u2019t understand how it failed to pick up a single kill. \u201cI would like an explanation on that Slam from Priestah,\u201d he said, \u201ceven if behind the table, the people to the right weren\u2019t safe\u2026 thoughts?\u201d I would like an explanation on that Slam from Priestah, even if behind the table, the people to the right weren\u2019t safe\u2026 thoughts? \u2014 Hector Rodriguez (@OpTicH3CZ) August 16, 2019 The 100 Thieves player in question, Priestahh, was incensed about the situation, asking \u201cwhere the fuck did my slam go??\u201d. The organization\u2019s founder and CEO Nadeshot, formerly a professional CoD player himself, also claimed that the game \u201cglitched out, 100%\u201d. The confusion was shared by other community members but Treyarch Gameplay Designer, Tony Flame, responded to try and add some clarity to the situation. \u201cThe Slam spot did not reach the hallway, if it had, they woulda been gone,\u201d explained Flame. \u201cLooking at the mini-map, it looks like enemies were behind the wall, then jumped out after the slam.\u201d Essentially Flame is arguing that the game did not glitch, but that the table, paired with clever movement on Luminosity\u2019s behalf, prevented the Grav Slam from connecting. It’s hard to know a 360 degree radius slam from a limited 1st person viewagle. The Slam spot did not reach the hallway, if it had, they woulda been gone. Looking at the mini-map, it looks like enemies were behind the wall, then jumped out after the slam.

The match saw 100 Thieves fall into the Losers Bracket surprisingly early on, but they remain in the $2 million tournament after an incredible reverse sweep of FaZe Clan. They kick off their Saturday against a team currently in the Winners Bracket, while Luminosity start against Team Reciprocity, the roster that knocked FaZe Clan into the Losers Bracket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
