Was reading an article about Titanfall when I saw some familiar names. I'd seen some of xalox's stream, but hadn't followed the tournament too closely. Glad to hear TF2 players recognized for their talents:
"For many PC players, playing against talented controller users backed by aim assist sometimes feels like struggling against a player with an aimbot, a cheat in PC games that uses the computer to aim for the player.
“I underestimated that shit,” Justin White, a player on the team Free Refills, said about aim assist. White's team faced off against Exertus in the tournament.
But is White just underestimating console players, and specifically the best? Aim assist can easily obscure a player’s skill."
The best-of-three series would end in a tie amid controversy. Exertus took the first map, Smuggler’s Cove, a large open battlefield with lots of sightlines that the console team abused to maintain map control.
On Angel City, Free Refills took a quick lead with a fast flag route before titans became available. Exertus fought back to take a lead using superior positioning and titan play. But Free Refills would pull off a ridiculous last minute flag run to tie the map.
That left Colony, a city landscape filled with buildings perfect for quick movement and parkour. The PC team ended up winning 2-0, but the first capture was scored at the start of the match, when one of the console players had disconnected due to lag. After the second capture, Exertus left the server and forfeited the match. They were apparently angry that Free Refills wouldn’t restart the game due to their player disconnecting for a few minutes, despite a rule indicating that’s how the situation should be handled.
So in the end, the debate was never really settled: Both sides were left with a bad taste in their mouths. But the match did show a number of interesting things about the differing styles bred from the two communities.
“[Exertus] just understand the game way better than everyone,” said Brandon “Seagull” Larned, a player on Free Refills. “They play titans one-hundred-percent and play off that completely and put a LOT of time into it."

Console players want to compete with pc players but then use auto aim :]

I am confused do the rules dictate that the match should be restarted or should not be restarted in the event of a disconnect?
