1. Need to realize he had been auto’d by the server, I know personally I NEVER notice at the end of the round, and then when I spawn on the other side of the map I think to myself “oh, I got switched”, but assuming he saw the little message in amongst the chat messages he would then have too2. Move his mouse to aim at someone’s face
3. Click to fire a single shot
4. Locate his next target
5. Move his mouse to the next person’s face
6. Click to fire again
Each one of those steps must be retrieved from Long Term Memory in your brain, placed into Short Term Memory, have the motor program executed, and then the next step can begin. All of those things take time, now I’m no Computer Scientist, but I would think a program would have no trouble at all executing something like that in a very very short time frame.
We were somewhat close, but certainly not lined up for him, and he definitely had to turn and fire, they were single shots with a deagle, I don’t believe that the AMX mod thingy gives any kind of indication or warning as to who is about to be switched in an attempt to even the teams out, it just switches them correct?
I think maybe you are thinking of something else, I am talking about at the very end of a round when the server switches someone from one team to the other in an attempt to even things out.
I never intended for this to resemble any kind of witch hunt, I was simply letting people know what I saw and why I thought it was suspicious so that the Administrators could keep an eye on things. I don’t have any cal experience, but I had a friend who used to play competitively, he used to play lots of LANs where they would always inspect everyone’s machine for hacks to ensure things were fair, and he did quite well, I used to sit and watch him play and thing he was hacking, but I knew he wasn’t because when I went to play on his machine I would suck just as bad as normal
. Heck, if he is totally legit, banning him might be good for him, if he does in fact have this super human response time he could and should be making MILLIONS elsewhere, not playing CS…
Anyways, the Admins say they are watching and that is all that can really be done and that was all I was asking for in the first place.

I have avoided this topic a on purpose to see if it was POSSIBLE to kill someone during this time.
Earlier in the today I was playing with raven in italy and noticed he was switched to ct. I proceeded to jump on his head and try to knife him. I missed, but I saw the reality of the problem. There appears to be something of a 1 – 3 second window before the round restarts. I’m not gonna get into reaction time because all I know is our brain is as fast as, if not slighty faster than, a 3ghz processor.
As far as how long it takes for something to register it varies from person to person and has more to do with experience and focus than just pure reflex.
There are scenarios of mom’s lifting cars to get their child out from under it. Adrenaline does crazy things to the body.
On to some of the better points:
1. Is it possible to see a switched player? Yes
2. Is it possible to shoot at this person? Yes.
3. Is it possible to kill this person? Unconfirmed but I think yes
4. It is extremely easy to become Cal O but its harder to claim anything more. Skill has everything to do with focus and reaction, as such while everything must be taken with a grain of salt, it is fair to note that some players display certain characteristics of skillful play, especially in this case.
5. Closely grouped players make for easier kills.
6. I personally think KeM DL’ed his skill 
But, we’ll see
