Phantom dead players appear on the HUD

[borzaka]

Reproduce:

• Have a match with mp_disconnect_kills_players 0
• Some players start to disconnect before the game ends (lost cause scenario, where the team can't win and last round)
• Have another match with different players (and even on a different map) on the same server right after.
• The early disconnected players from the prev match still appear on the HUD as dead players.

Solutions:

• Full game server restart after every match.
• The HUD filter players.

I know about the hide players feature, but these phantom players don't have a steamId, and/or sometimes they just don't use typeable characters.

The status command shows this on the server. Maybe it helps to filter out phantom players from the HUD:

I'am still experiencing this issue. I still have a dead player on the HUD.
I had to hide manually on the config page. The 5th slot was already taken a player in the CT team.
