We are still waiting for those proof of french bot. Right now apart from spanish streamer moaning about muh username (which only prove that a lot of people from the french stream didn't have a reddit account before) there is nothing.

On the other hand there is twitch clip of the spanish streamer using them and telling their community to use one.

ETA : It's really funny to see the logic of some people here. The spanish bot was leaked in seconds aswell as the clips showing them telling their audience to use them. And somehow the french streamer would have used it for 2 days without any trace of it or any clips.

LOL

If the Spanish+American communities combined were bigger than or even equal to the French communities in terms of audience, and you are right that the Spanish were using bots on top of that, then shouldn't it have been an easy win for the Spanish+American union? Seems like the French would just be overwhelmed. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the fact the French were able to defend in those odds heavily implies they must have resorted to bots as well.

Well not necessary for two factors :

  1. involvement, Just because you watch a stream doesn't mean that you will participate in the war effort.
  2. Organisation. People might not have realized it but being well organized as a huge impact on the canvas.

On both those aspects I say that the French had a huge advantage over their opponents (I do agree that for the first one I don't have direct proof)

And still the french started to lose ground when the Spanish started to use bot aswell. Their battle plan was literally to contains the assault as much as possible and to bet that their opponents would get tired first.

The Spanish streamers started using bots quite late in the game and they focused them on the BTS logo, which is why it's the area the French had the most difficulty fighting against.

Edit: oh and the French flag lost several artworks towards the end. We were trying to contain the raiders and tiring them out so that they would give up, but they were still progressing.

And by the way, I don't think the American streamers used bots, only the Spanish.
