Summit1g loses it after worst lag ever ruins Tarkov match with shroud Twitch: summit1g\/Mixer: shroudTwitch streamer Jaryd \u2018summit1g\u2019 Lazar completely lost his cool with tactical-survival shooter Escape from Tarkov, as a horrendous lag spike saw him eliminated in a fight he clearly should have won. Despite releasing the beta nearly four years ago, Battlestate Games\u2019 Escape from Tarkov has experienced a new lease of life on streaming platforms, as a host of the world\u2019s biggest entertainers flock to the tactical FPS. Among the streamers who have transitioned over is summit1g, who has been one of the streamers of the decade \u2013 thanks to his versatility and willingness to play whatever titles his viewers want to see. Despite Tarkov\u2019s popularity, it is not immune to server issues and lag, something which became clear on January 31 during Lazar\u2019s Twitch stream with shroud. The 32-year-old pushed into a narrow corridor and was quickly faced down by an enemy. The gunfight got off to a good start for summit, who promptly found the opponent with his crosshairs. However, as he was about to get the headshot and win the gunfight, the game freezes for almost a whole second, and resumes with summit eliminated. Understandably, this doesn\u2019t go down too well with the streaming veteran. \u201cOh I f**king chugged [lagged],\u201d summit screamed. \u201cNo way! He was dead! Dude, I had this guy so dead.\u201d \u201cI fat chugged bro,\u201d he continued, trying to explain the situation to shroud. \u201cI had his head tapped. He was tapped. I had like 18 shots to tap him with, and [it] full-second chugged.\u201d The two speculated whether the opponent was cheating, but it wasn\u2019t particularly clear, especially given the absence of killcams in Escape from Tarkov. \u201cWith the way he just killed me \u2013 he was full blind, and just snapped on my head,\u201d shroud explained. Regardless, summit knows that if it wasn\u2019t for the very unfortunate lag spike, he had the enemy dead to rights, cheater or not. Shroud actually thought the laggy server may have also worked in their favor at other times, possibly saving their lives in an earlier gunfight. While the game is still technically in beta, issues like these are to be expected, but the timing on this one couldn\u2019t have been worse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
