peeker's advantage
What does peeker's advantage mean?
Because of network latency, the player swinging the corner sees the holder before the holder sees them move. You get killed by someone who, on their screen, is already standing still and aiming at you.
"I held that angle perfectly and still died, peeker's advantage is brutal on high ping."
Origin
Network-latency phenomenon discussed across Counter-Strike and formalised by Riot for Valorant. Caused by the delay between the peeker's client and the server.
Frequently asked questions
Can peeker's advantage be fixed?
Not over the internet. It comes from latency, so only a LAN with equal, minimal ping removes it. Devs can shrink it but never delete it.
