Plus comment down below if you've ever cheated while playing a video game and make sure you
guys stay all the way until the end because you wont believe what level of cheating had
to go down to deserve our number 1 spot.
Now lets jump into todays video of the Top 10 Times Pro Gamers Were Caught Cheating.
#10 Aimbot Kid x Nothing could be worse in the gaming world
than getting caught cheating while using an aimbot.
Most gamers will come up with a ton of excuses and reasons for why it looked like they were
using an aimbot, but in Kid xs video hes not even trying to hide it.
Kid X is a top-200 Overwatch player on a Korean server and while doing a public live stream
his aimbot was just hanging out in the open.
The games company Blizzard doesnt take kindly to cheaters and immediately found out which
resulted in the Kid getting his account shut down.
Thankfully when it comes to cheating Blizzard is on top of things and lets gamers know they
have a zero tolerance policy for cheaters.
As such his ban from Overwatch is permanent.
#9 Match Fixing Ever since the dawn of gambling on sports,
match-fixing has become a common way for people to well fix the match and have the turnout
work in their favour.
ESports are no different.
In the finals of the Major League Gaming 2012 Summer Championships two teams absolutely
stunned the crowd.
Team Dignitas and Curse NA had coordinated before their League of Legends battle began
and decided to split the prize money no matter who came out on top.
The way they set this thing up was by deciding to play a game of ARAM.
This is an all-random, all-mid game where players choose a champion at random and both
teams stick to the middle of the map.
It didnt take long for the cheaters to get caught and as a result, both of the teams
were disqualified.
#8 Game and Switch Now quite often people will play on their
friends accounts, either just because your at their home or to help them boost their
score, which is cheating, but well get to that.
In this scenario rookie gamer Diablo found out just what happens when you boost in competition.
During a sanctioned Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare competition a pro team called Fat
Games attempted to cheat in a more obvious way than even screen peeking.
Diablo had not played COD long enough to qualify for competition based on the rules of the
league, but FatGames decided to ignore this.
Instead of finding a qualified member, they gave over the login details of the person
who Diablo was subbing in for.
After getting caught for this, Stat the member who gave over the details and Diablo were
both banned for a 6 month period.
On top of that their team received a big deduction in points.
#7 The Gambler Back in 2013 Russian gamer, Alexi Solo Berezin
was a member of the DOTA 2 team known as Rox dot Kis.
At the time the team was attempting to prove they could break into the ESports world and
become a force to be reckoned with.
While unsuccessful in the Star Series Season 6 that year, Solo and his team would go on
to get obliterated in a match against zRAGE.
As much of an easy win as this one appeared to be, this game turned out to become one
of the most infamous matches in Defense of the Ancients 2 tournament history.
Going into the match Solos team was actually favoured to win.
After nearly half an hour of poor in-game decisions by his team and giving up 50 kills
evidence arose that showed Solo threw the game.
Solo had bet 100 dollars that his squad would lose and being heavily favoured to win meant
Solo would receive a payout of 322 dollars.
After the tournament officials discovered this Solo was banned for life with his teammates
receiving a 3-year ban.
#6 Boost Me The team Philadelphia Fusion is quite possibly
one of the most successful franchises in the Overwatch League.
However as successful as the organization was during their regular season run a massive
scandal with one of their competitors plagued any accomplishments made.
Kim Sado Su-Min an 18-year-old high school dropout was suspended from the league before
the next season could even begin.
Claiming that the games professional system had failed him, Sudo turned to more nefarious
means of getting money while playing Overwatch.
Evidence came out that Kim had been boosting players Overwatch accounts in exchange for
cash which does not sit well with Blizzard.
After being caught cheating Sado was suspended for 30 out of 40 games in the regular season.
Which is absolutely insane, but hey rules are rules.
#5 Stream Snipers At this point, you probably understand that
Blizzard Entertainment is a no-nonsense company when it comes to bending the rules.
Following an incident with 2017 Hearthstone World Champ Chen Wei Lin who was stream sniping,
Blizzard released an official ruling against accusations of cheating in the game.
Chen who goes by the gamer tag Tom 60229, was caught cheating against his opponent Samuel
Sequinox Chan.
During the Global Games event, Chen and his team were watching the broadcast by their
opponents to gain extra information of the moves they were planning to make.
The level of stupidity and carelessness on this one is ridiculous.
The team wasn't caught until they themselves uploaded a video of the tournament where you
can clearly hear them talking about their opponents moves before they make them.
As you can imagine they were promptly disqualified from the tournament.
#4 League of Losers If the last one didnt boggle your mind, this
one sure will.
How anyone could think they could get away with screen peeking at a major gaming event
is beyond me.
While its obvious if you look over at your opponents screen, its almost more obvious
if you turn to the giant screen beside you showing what your enemy is up to.
This video clip perfectly locates the moment Azubu Frost players turns to the big screen
to find out where their opponents are and then turn to the teammates in the game to
make them aware of their location.
Check it out During a break the other team reported Woong for looking at the big screen
for which he was fined a cool 30,000 dollars.
#3 Forsaken Teammates You'd think to reach the status of pro gamer
you would of course have so much skill that you wouldn't need to cheat, but here we go
again.
During a Counter-Strike Global Offensive game Nikhil Forsaken Kumawat of OpTic India was
caught cheating red-handed on a Twitter video, check it out In the video you can see a tournament
administrator examining Forsakens computer and even having to hold him back as Forsaken
nervously attempts to delete the hack he installed.
The incident occured at the Extremesland CSGO 2018 tournament that had a whopping prize
of a hundred thousand dollars.
The team was promptly disqualified and then further investigations began on the team which
found that Forsaken had cheated again during the ESL India Premiership 2018 Fall Tournament.
#2 Cheater for Life In 2013 the Starcraft 2 player known as Life
had been absolutely dominating tournaments.
He became the youngest person ever to win a GSL tournament and then was the MLG champ
back to back years.
However in 2015 a deep-seated match-fixing scandal in the Korean Starcraft 2 community
found Life and many others coming under investigation by not just the Korean e-sports association,
but the Korean law enforcement as well.
Going as far back as January of that year, Life was found to have recieved money to fix
matches and would even place bets on them.
Following the investigation Life was arrested by the Changwon prosecutors office on charges
of receiving money for match-fixing.
This scandal shook the SC2 community once learning about Lifes deep involvement.
He was sentenced to 18 months in jail and a lifetime suspension from any Korean E-Sports
tournaments.
#1 The 2 Million Dollar Cheat Perhaps one of the largest e-sports competitions
ever was hurled into anarchy after more than a dozen pro gamers were caught cheating in
a competition with a prize of 2 million dollars.
While competing in the game PubG high level players were caught using a radar hack to
discover where enemies were moving during competition.
The cheaters utilized a virtual private network or VPN for short to read their opponents data
incognito.
The data picked up by their system then moved to a game server where the complex program
unpacked it and streamed the information to the players phones.
The organizers of the competition referred to the cheating system as severely damaging
to the integrity of the game.
For the curious among you wanting to know who it was, the accused were Christian Narvaez,
Liam Tran, Tyler Sti and Mark Formaro.
And that has been the Top 10 Times Pro Gamers Were Caught Cheating.
