What is cl_interp and is it cheating?

[John]

Today I saw a skilled spy that was doing a lot of trickstabs, some guys started calling him hacker or saying he used cl_interp, but I want know what is cl_interp?

[some one]

c_interp is a command that creates false lag

[brawler]

cl_interp is a setting bad spies use to abuse controlled lag to get easier backstabs.

[doll]

changing your interp to a high number only makes you worse at spy

[Good for nothing]

a cheap exploit that you should stay away from

[((]

Those who say that they have bad Internet or they are just bad in this game and envy the player

Damn y'all answered so quickly.
I have a question: how can lag be beneficial for the player?

Basically, cl_interp lets you play one second behind everyone else. Enemies can't hit you directly, but you can hit enemies from where they were previously.

I'm really bad at playing spy, I barely can do backstabs because i'm trash but i'm thinking to use cl_interp but that would be for losers.

It could still be difficult. You would deal with bumping into their invisible frames. In compact areas, it would be unfavourable.

CL_Interp doesn't do anything. Laggy spies are using a hack called fake lag.
