The Leet World

The Leet World is a Counter-Strike-based Machinima which follows the exploits of two teams of four Terrorists and four Counter-Terrorists as they compete against each other in a Reality Show. However, it soon becomes apparent that this is no ordinary TV show, and the two disparate teams are going to have to put aside their differences and make friends... or, as the creators put it, "we see what happens when they stop being noobs and start acting leet!"

The Leet World is now finished. The series is known for its comedy, compelling underlying story, well-developed characters and great original music. The Leet World is made by Smooth Few Films, and can be viewed on their website here.

 * Defeat Means Friendship: The Domination Guy, after being beaten by Cortez.
 * Disability Superpower: Cortez and his killing-people-without-eyes schtick. Note that while he does not, in fact, need eyes to kill a man, he does completely fail at Marco Polo.

 * Jerkass: Cortez and Player, though Cortez mellows a bit to become more of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold and Player... has an excuse.
 * Lame Excuse: Chet's "condition" in episode 2.8.
 * Last Stand: The finale.
 * Leeroy Jenkins: Played straight with Ahmad (running out in the open) and Player (team flash), even though the MMORPG-playing Leeroy is named after him (probably).
 * Leet Lingo: Player can only speak through text chat at the bottom of the screen, and does so exclusively in leet-speak.
 * Meaningful Name: The creators are based out of Houston, Texas. Montrose is the name of a street in Houston known for being inhabited by homosexuals. Doubles as a Genius Bonus.

 * Mexican Standoff: Round One of the first challenge ends like this; there are others, including.

 * Ratings Stunt: Or, the Producer's excuse for the ramped-up challenges in Season 2.

 * Robotic Reveal: While his Artificial Human status had been hinted at since his introduction, and confirmed just moments before,  was the final confirmation that he definitely wasn't human.
 * Running Gag: Many, including Leeroy's 'online social life,' Player's ass, and the ski-masked Ochos Muertos continually getting their names mixed up between them.
 * Shut UP, Hannibal: Player and Chet to the Producer in the season 2 finale.

"Cortez: "I know that your mother would not like that her son is as much a whore as she was.""
 * Son of a Whore: Westheimer's mother was a dear, but she was also kind of a slut. Referenced in the second season by Cortez.

"Ellis: "Those CTs have crossed the line! Next time I see one of those BLEEPs I'm gonna BLEEP the BLEEP out of their rat-BLEEPing hides with a BLEEP that's BLEEP 200 feet long!""

 * Tourette's Syndrome: Ahmad after his stint on HAX leaves him with brain damage.
 * Verbal Tic: Cortez and his apparent obsession with buuuurros.
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: Ellis and Montrose in the latter part of the first season and in the second, very much Type II. Particularly during the series finale, plus right after Montrose insinuates that Ellis likes farm animals and Ellis threatens to pee in his bed:

"Westheimer: If anything happens to my soldiers I'm gonna come after you myself, challenge be damned. Mendoza: I would hope for nothing less."
 * Wham! Episode: Episode 2.7, and then again shortly afterwards with episode 2.10.
 * Worthy Opponent: Westheimer and Cortez, albeit begrudgingly; the Domination Guy and Cortez; and, oddly enough, Mendoza to Westheimer.


 * Your Mom: Played with, Montrose responds with an insult with Your Dad. And it was actually good, so he followed up with a remark that became his Catch Phrase.
