Chinese CS Community Crowns flameZ Intel's Chief R&D Engineer for i18

Description

A dark-background text screenshot (forum/Reddit style, two gray paragraphs) explaining a Counter-Strike community in-joke: 'But it gets better: In the Chinese CS community, fans and casters love to call players "chip engineers" when they get only 1 kill and mutiple deaths. It works like this: a 1-7 scoreline equals an "Intel i7." If a player is currently 0-7, they are "developing the i7." Once he get a kill and hit 1-7, the "i7 is successfully developed, and developing on the i8 begins." If he get another kill and hit 2-7, then i8 is failed to develop.' The second paragraph: 'Because flameZ went 1-18, the Chinese CS community officially crowned him Intel's Chief R&D Engineer(英特尔首席研发工程师) for successfully developing the unprecedented "i18" processor.' The joke maps terrible kill/death scorelines onto Intel Core CPU naming (i7, i9), mocking a pro player's 1-18 game as shipping a fictional i18 chip

    At 1–18, the silicon yield was catastrophic, but the meme yield was industry-leading.

      1-18 KD ratio, -> I18 -> i18 🥴
