This is a video ScrubLEL and I produced with the hopes of reaching a broader audience, while still aiming to be interesting and engaging to even someone who already knows most of the information here. If we can do that, we might be able to bring some new eyes to the bhop community, and make the rest of the community forget it isn't exactly dead yet.



If you want to see the reddit post, you can find it on the front page of /r/GlobalOffensive. Please try not to leave junk comments if you want to comment, it can hurt the post. And reddit will 'delete' votes from ppl who haven't interacted with the content at all so you have to at least open the video from the reddit page. Reddit is epic like that.



Shilling aside, I sincerely hope you guys enjoyed this video. I had 0 experience making something like this and neither did ScrubLEL. Some speech ended up a bit awkward paced in the beginning but that also might just be me nitpicking. Thanks for checking it out!


Also if someone wants to share this announcement with the SourceJump discord/community, that'd be cool.

Hi guys, Forest here. I'm looking to help reinvigorate this community and bring widespread attention to it, perhaps an attention that extends even beyond the counter-strike community alone. With this end in mind, I've been working with an editor on a video for quite some time that is intended to appeal to someone who may know absolutely nothing about bhop, as well as appeal to those who do. I'm letting you know because this video needs everyone's support! Truthfully, bhop and faste hops only got as popular as they did because of a community effort to call attention to the videos we were producing. The video is rendering now and could be posted as soon as tomorrow as long as we don't find any issues in one last quality control pass.

I made this video because it's incredibly disappointing to see modern runs getting less views than runs from 2014 despite being of significantly higher quality. I want to honor the runners who have continued to progress the game forward. If you guys care about continuing the growth of our community, I'll be posting another announcement soon with some twitter/reddit links as well as the link to the video of course. Please help me call attention back to autobhop. The runners work too hard to go unacknowledged.



As an aside, a topic that has been brooding for a while now has been that of newdun's cheating. Something very obvious to me was that he refused to stream his runs live when I asked him about it, citing various excuses. I think streaming should be a requirement for modern runners, and that we should not accept runners who don't have at least a significant history of doing runs on stream. I mean, it's not asking too much. aimer streamed ivy, junichik streamed aux_a9, roger streams everything, makmak streamed quite a few of his modern runs, and so on. This obviously isn't bulletproof but it should serve as a bare minimum for our community to accept a runner as valid. It's a standard in every single speedrunning community at this point. Is that something we can agree on? I would like this to become a standard for us as well, because quite frankly this is embarrassing.

Thanks for reading.
