Pro strat: If you want to win in the Gulag, just pretend you're AFK until the enemy lets their guard down. 60% of the time it works every time.

It's a bold move, but Tim is very confident when he announces he's going to do the AFK Strat, a strategy I wasn't aware existed before seeing this clip, but a very effective one, apparently. "This is going to work," Tim says as he prepares himself to...sit there defenselessly.

His opponent, the unwitting Artivo (RIP) starts the match by chucking a flash and a grenade into the opposite corner, indicating he has some idea what he's doing. Had those grenades come flying towards Tim instead, the AFK Strat would have been an utter failure. Tim maintains his composure and continues to stand motionless, waiting for his moment to strike.

Artivo comes flying around the corner, running straight at Tim, and takes a shot that misses by a wide margin, indicating that maybe he doesn't actually know what he's doing. Tim continues to wait patiently like the devious snake in the grass he is.

Artivo pops back into Tim's FOV, now directly to his right. He aims down sights, realizes Tim is "AFK", and lowers his gun to run at Tim. This, of course, was his fatal mistake.

Tim sees his opportunity to strike and, with an instantaneous ADS and flick of the wrist, lines up the shot and takes down Artivo in one shot, winning the Gulag. Tim slaps his desk and cackles like a madman in celebration of pulling off the AFK Strat. Who could blame him? The plan worked flawlessly.

As Artivo returns to the lobby, you have to wonder what was going through the poor lad's head. He had every opportunity to win that fight, but he willingly handed the W to Tim. Missing his first shot on a stationary target is embarrassing, but it happens. Lining up his second shot and then deciding instead to run at Tim for a cheap melee kill is inexcusable.

The saddest part is that Artivo will never know he got baited. From his perspective, it appeared that his opponent was actually AFK, but returned to the game just in time to take the shot and win the game. In Artivo's mind, he got outplayed by someone who wasn't even actively playing the game.

We salute Tim for his brass balls and quick reflexes in the Gulag. Do we recommend trying this strat yourself? Yes, because I reckon it will help me win more Gulags is everyone starts doing this.
