I can confirm that @Igor does in fact do the spectating thing, as he offered to do it just so I could play if there wasn't a free spot when I first joined his lobby. Unfortunately there was a spot for me, and I ended up getting a beatdown. We need to get him relaxing more, as I die much less often that way.
A while ago I suggested a tip of staying near the centre of maps. Igor wasn't too keen on this and said he always stays near the edges. I got to see this in action when we played, and given how good he was, I died most of the time when I tried to attack him near the edge as I was thrown off a lot.
I will now revise my tip to this: "stay near the centre of the maps if you're rubbish, like I am."
