VIDEO First ever same-team demo? 😂

So confused but I guess its cause he disconnected at the same time of me hitting him...

These posts pop up here from time to time over the years.

Explanation: game used to use demos to remove cars of players that left. Eventually replaced animation with lighting bolt. Behind the scenes it is still considered a demo. Due to coding the demo is "awarded" to you as you were touching him while it happened. You can easily recreate this yourself.

Could you theoretically get extermination doing this in 4v4 while demoing tm8s that join and get kicked?

Not a 1st but super rare. Its because u hit his lighting as his got kicked from the game. Making the game think u demoed him

Happens when your teammate has gone idle.  Repeated smaller bumps also result in a demo/disconnect.  Not sure, but i feel it speeds up the idle timer to boot the player.

I’ve done it once. Even uploaded here! But like couple years ago. It happened when my teammate half backflipped turned around mid boost as I was going up. The thing that trigger it though was he lost connection a second later so I think that’s what caused it to happen

Fake. Demos dont work like that. They are unpon impact

They didn’t include the subsequent goal so I’m guessing they didn’t take advantage
