How do I check if a player has left the server?

The PlayerRemoving event of Players fires when a player leaves and passes the player who is leaving. The trick is, it fires just before the player actually gets removed from the game.
local connection
connection = game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
if player == p1 then
-- your code (if player is p1)
connection:disconnect()
elseif player == p2 then
-- your code (if player is p2)
connection:disconnect() -- These prevent connections from stacking on top of each other and causing very bad lag.
end
end)
EDIT: Edited code to match explanation in comments.

I have a round script, and the players names are p1 and p2. I was trying to check if one of those players have left.

I edited the code. I assume it's within a called function, so I added a disconnection to it, too.

What's the point in disconnecting?

Disconnecting stops it from having supreme lag when it's connected a couple hundred times.
game.Players.PlayerRemoved:connect(function(player)
print(.. player.Name .. " has left the server")
end)
This will tell you if someone has left and print their name in the output.
You would check if the player is nil, for example:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
wait()
if player == nil then
local h = Instance.new("Hint", game.Workspace)
h.Text = player.Name.." has left the server!"
wait(2)
h:Destroy()
end
end)

This will not tell you when a player leaves a server. This only works if the player leaves the second it joins.

You could check by using the 'PlayerRemoving' event, if you want me to provide an Explanation, just let me know. :)
Please do.
