A Comprehensive History of Cheating in Pro CSGO 

bangor video, never used leetify but thought about using it recently, gives me a good reason to use it now I guess.

i have a cs2 account if youd like to use it

Bro I got a malware warning. Don't visit the page. It's a bitcoin scam.

@@Puxi Its not

Right. Completely missing from this video.

“Comprehensive”

This was initially included in the script of this video, but I cut it in the final product. Not sure why actually, I think it wouldve added a good bit, sometimes i make last-minute decisions like that while editing that i regret later. If you're interested in my take, here is the cut script segment: Recently there’s been a lot of buzz about crowd cheating due to the Rio major and the crowd doing some not-so-subtle things to help the Brazilian teams. The crowd yelling and getting excited when something is about to happen is something that has happened for a long time, and is unfortunately something that is not possible to fix without eliminating an important part of LAN cs. (Rain using crowd clip) It is common now for teams from especially passionate nations to cheat for their teams (Danes, Brazillians, and Russians namely). Nobody ever really gets banned due to this, but there have been a lot of measures to try to limit it. However, I have heard Launders point out that no matter how effective noise-cancelling headphones are, the crowd causes vibration which are sent throughout the stadium, and there really isnt anything you can do to stop that without not having a crowd at all. Which would suck.

@@PenguinCS2All good I get it, thanks for the reply!

Yeah like cheatkindar used the crowd 2 times against apeks on major but it thankfully backfired both times

thats funny

Epic strategy.

😆

Cheating the algorithm with his killer content

Clara?

that's reserved for flusha

And they didnt use it against SK if i remember right

They were part of the meeting (according to the HLTV article "Teams come to agreement not to use "crouch jump""), but this was after their matches against Faze and Cloud9. But after the day when they fought C9, all players came together, ruled against the bug and noone, including BIG against SK, used it anymore.

@@kinasch +1, the video put BIG in kind of a worse light there (idk if it makes a difference, but still)

yea okay but it wasnt any advanced cheats, just simple stuff for DOOM like iunlimmmited ammo

@@MusHrOOmsonaCid the hacker dev didn't put actual CSGO cheats in the tournament PC because they said there was a ethical problem with doing that, instead they put a hack that displayed a red square on the CSGO client just to demonstrate that they could easily do the same thing it was proof that there is zero legitimacy in a tournament that lets hardware brought by players connect to the event PCs

peripherral cheats are indeed an issue. I remember there was a mouse that could be programmed with recoil patterns. And pretty much any "gaming" mouse of the last 15-20 years is able to save macros. Could be something simple like an autoclicker to get the perfect firerate from semi auto weapons, but also something more complicated like a bhop script or name macro. And they're hard to detect, especially when they're saved on the mouse itself and not as driver profile.

@@MusHrOOmsonaCidthat doesn’t mean anything at all. If you can access memory and change memory, you can make whatever cheat you want. It’s called a proof of concept.

Well the video is about cheating in PRO CSGO, as far as we know, that bug hasn’t been used in the pro scene. That being said, I do know about that bug, hopefully it’s fixed in CS 2

@@xLunah_ I'm pretty sure I saw it being abused a couple times in older pro days. On inferno CT and on nuke T. i don't remember which match ups tho

They agreed not to use it before, BIG just weren’t at the meeting

@@Alf763 BIG were at the meeting and agreed not to use it, the clip seen in the video on inferno was the reason why the agreement was put into place

@@3erBMWavg German team

It's not surprising when you consider that he was Indian, the people known for shitty tech scams

indians

damn really? which match was it

anyone can play in open qualifiers by signing up its not considered pro cs

You're right after the meeting BIG stopped using it. I think the meeting was after the second round of swiss and they even won their BO3 against Faze without the bug

What are you talking? You can clearly see at 4:21 that someone from BIG is using said bug against Faze?! @@krabbels2217

I just looked back at the initial tweet Magisk posted of the teams meeting on 17th July 2017. Big did not attend. BIG's 3rd match of swiss on the following day (2-0) was a BO1 on Inferno again. BIG continued using the bug for the entirety of their CT side, see tabseN & LEGIJA POV. FaZe went 0-3 and did not play a BO3. @@krabbels2217

I mean this happened at iBP Masters 2019. There were loads of issues with the tourney but players being able to look at the big screen was one of them

i remember that s1mple once called a tech time out because he could see the in game radar through a reflection when playing on stage

Esl bans really dont matter ewire was a piece of shit

"comprehensive"

why didnt he show it

@@thankyou4328 not sure but it was a boost on the other side of the map you can find it if you look for it

@@thankyou4328 Not one video has ever shown it i stg.

I think cause it doesn't look nearly as crazy as the olofboost. The olofboost only actually broke a weird rule about enemies not being able to see you on the boost while you could see them, that was the only rule they could find actually in the rulebook to use against the olofboost. The boost LDLC used also broke that rule but wasn't as insane looking as the oiofboost

@@joshok7059 no reason not to show it and let the audience decide. it would have helped this video not be the most basic rundown of events possible.

EXACTLY! To group it in with genuine cheaters seems very disrespectful.

Yeah, it wasn't even against the rules.

100% agree. That was never cheating

The fact that Valve put up a sing on the map as memory shows how legendary that moment was.

So how do the drugs work? Like did it make them focus better?

adderall scandal

@@Eric-vs2he that's exactly it. Helps them focus better, makes them more alert, helps them focus at peak performance longer. It's why people abuse these drugs to pull all nighters studying.

Can you summarize what happened in this scandal? (Or send a link explaining)

@@rhemisnip I can't send links here. Essentially it came out in 2015, that the whole cloud 9 team was taking Adderall to improve performance. It's still abundand in eSports. It's an open secret.

​​@@rhemisnipI think he is talking about the fact that lot of if not most progamers are on performance enhancing drugs like aderall in order to stay focused during the long hours of playing on tournaments.

"Ia ou não ia?"

What does adderall do to help you play Cs? Genuinely curious

@Realninja7214 when you do something for an extended periods of time, you begin to lose dopamine and in turn, focus. adderall increases the supply of dopamine a brain can produce and makes you gain more focus and ability to maintain your highest performance for longer

@@s4n7r0 ohhhh ok thanks

this was basic af his worst video

You are absolutely right… sadly… when you know how aim locks work you see it in every game… it’s insane!

i can give you my account to play around with it if you'd like :33

Not from valve events.

Yeah, the admin allowing this does not change the fact that it was still cheating with the community and other players, so much so that players agreed to not use it anymore, as the administration and G2's morals failed.

i guess it's more of a CIS known thing
