He Got Kicked From a $100k CS:GO Tournament... 

When someone says “I’m wearing 14k”, that shows how pompous they really are

“If I wanted to cheat you would never know” rich coming from a guy who cheated on his wife LMAO

Lmao, he went from "I suck at csgo" to "She didnt clear lower and gave up mid control" real quick.

Anyone who follows Overwatch knows that Kephrii and Gale are buddies. With that being said I haven’t met a single person who genuinely likes Kephrii. He hackusates almost everything in sight and even got bullied out of the Valorant community when it came out. he’s always been problematic and after watching all 5 clips when he got knifed, there is no way this was not already planned out. “cheating advocate” my ass bro couldn’t even stay loyal to his wife

Homie said “I’m wearing $14k, I do not care about money” and expected us to believe he did not care about money

His reaction to the accusations just make him sound like a bozo. He basically said "I'm richer and smarter than all of you. None of you would realize I cheated because I'm such a genius. Masters degree btw"

Both of the accused are top 500 in overwatch and both also played valorant when it came out. I highly doubt all that game sense goes out the window in csgo.

The whole tournament format basically encouraged the cheating. The whole "They aren't pros!" argument might have water; but goddamn, I don't think so with how some of those knife kills scream baby's first game, not streamer/pro/someone trying to win real money.

His analysis of the other player on d2 shows that he was aware of how he set himself up to be knifed on mirage smh

"you think i want money? Look, im materialistic! That proves i dont want money" ok lol

From what I've seen Kephrii got Global in cs a few years back. Sure your aim can get pretty bad but you just don't lose map/game awareness like that, keeping your back exposed, not watching the correct angles etc. The fact that he places acusations on other people just shouts "I did cheat, but they are cheating too!"

5:45 For a person with "a master's degree in intelligent studies and analysis" it is astounding how unlikeable he makes himself in 30 seconds. Implying "$100,000 is nothing to me", "I'm the guy from the navy seals copypasta", and "I'm smarter than all of you" are not things that get people on your side. This is coming from a guy who's never heard of this guy till now.

How about Twitch stop running these dogshit tournaments where they make every game about individual play and not teamplay. its fucking CS, one of the most team-based games, ffs.

“I’m literally wearing 14 grand right now” might be the worst response i’ve ever heard to allegations of match fixing for money.

This whole tournament format was such a good way to make everyone suspicious if anyone got a knife kill especially after the original accusations which just makes this so funny to watch to see if we can guess if anyone is cheating in the first place

To be fair, I would expect knife kills to be more common due to the scoring system compared to even regular games. Most people would probably just shoot you instead of taking the risky extra seconds to knife. However, that also means there's a very easy way for people to abuse this system and it shows.

First time eSports players beat soccer players in acting...

There are two answers to this. Either it was 100% cheating or the player is legitimately one of the dumbest people alive. No other possibilities. I'm dogshit at CS and you would never knife me that many times in a single game. No chance someone who's supposed to be better than me and more knowledgeable could be that oblivious without either cheating or being one of the dumbest people alive.

I’ve been GM/TOP500 in Overwatch. I’ve played with these dudes, nonstop. I mean like all day, some times weeks. Gale and Kephrii are basically best friends. They duo non stop, even off stream and on Smurf accounts in plat and I would also find them there. You’re telling me, they are on opposite teams, and if you get more knife kills you’d win $25K? Yeah right buddy, they planned it. They are not that dumb. They are nowhere near silver. This is so obvious and I only watched two of the knives. Kephrii is such a shttr, and Gale too know. Never liked Kephrii, now gale is basically the person.

The analysis on dust 2 is crazy, “off monitor off monitor, why is she jiggling”. Meanwhile hes blatantly refusing to look at angles he knows someone is at on mirage

"I spent an absurd amount of money on fashion accessories" is in no way proof you don't need money. Many, many people flaunting luxury brands are deep in debt. Because they bought expensive useless junk.

Tournament format was a major issue here this was a terrible idea for a tournament but cheating isnt right either.

It’s crazy how he accuses other people doing the exact same thing as he did. The only difference is he had 1 example and others had 5 examples on him. It doesn’t matter if you suck at csgo you play FPS you check your corners and you keep your eyes where you literally know enemies are.

Well, who the fuck thought it was a good idea to give extra points for knife kills ._.

The "I have a masters degree" argument was really solid. And I'm wearing 13k, sheeeesh. That's just embarrassing. 90%+ of cheaters doesn't get caught, you have to be a total idiot(read forsaken) to get caught.

So you're telling me the shlub who cheated on his wife ALSO cheated in a video game??? shocking

The “if I cheated, you guy’s wouldn’t be able to catch me” is truly the most insane defense you can have for GETTING CAUGHT CHEATING. Like what are you even saying??

My guy said he had a masters degree in whatever and worked in the cia, fbi or whatever then proceeded to make the dumbest fucking plays I have ever seen. If you are bad at a game you tend to tunnel vision on a player that you know is there so him completely ignoring several people that he knew was close by is suspect at the bare minimum. This logic works at almost any skill level.

I guess it's kind of a plus that a wider community gets to see how much of a douchebag Kephrii is, rather than just the OW scene being aware. Wait, maybe that's a net negative for humanity...

The fact that he is a former spook is what convinced me he 100% cheated.

The "I am so rich that I don't care about money, and I am so intelligent that people couldn't see it if i was cheating" justification with this condescending tone is pure gold. And btw, even for a gold nova these plays would be suspect, and Kephrii is a PROFESSIONAL FPS PLAYER, even if cs:go is not his game he was 100% cheating, there's no debate here, just look at the clips. It's pathetic tbh. $100k litteraly wasted to trolls, cheaters and noobs for what was nothing but a shit show.

“Since I'm such a tech genius if I wanted to cheat you would never know” Would never be able to prove it maybe, but being able to cheat without being caught in CS is more about your knowledge of the game allowing you to camouflage your cheating and all the master degree in science in the world won't help him with that.

This guy's highest rank is GE, there's absolutely no way this shit wasn't intentional. Anyone with any semblance of how CS is played knows knife kills don't look like this. I mean even for an avg player, avoiding knife kills is pretty easy. You're in denial if you think this wasn't pre set up between those two

I used to watch Gale and Kephrii but honestly can't stand either of their super prestigious attitudes especially gale

"He's cracked" Proceeds to hit no arrows, uses ULT then finally lands body-shots that can be spammed like a machine gun.

“Would never get caught cheating” Also he: Don’t hear the second loudest sound in the game by sides the old start sound of the game

He was definitely feeding kills. In case cat pushed up or someone peeks from market he should pull out pistol. AND IN CASE SOMEONE FROM APTS PUSHES: you should back the fuck up so your back isn’t exposed. But he moves up so that his back is exposed and his barrel is sticking out from the corner.

"Im wearing 14k right now" Yeah, that's basically were you made the situation even worse lmao

Kephrii at it again 😔 He's like the JasonR of overwatch

5:46 crazy how you can make yourself so unlikeable in 20 seconds 😂😂

I feel like Tiffany getting knifed by nick in lower tuns was normal since her teamates was near lower tuns and she prob thought they cleared it already

"im begging you to pick up b" I love the excuses, teaming 100% even admits he would never be caught. The way he was playing when he got killed he is either so bad at video games that its unreal, which we can see from his OW clips that hes not.... or he is intentionally letting his buddy kill him. He know she is cheating because he is aware how undetectable ones work. Using webcams to capture game footage to run cheats on another PC

Their excuses are the biggest confirmation that they teamed. Textbook worst reaction Out there

I only watched this because its something to pass the time with, being an ow player, not surprised Keph reacted the way he did, there arent many players i dislike, but he is definitely one of them

After years of watching these two in the overwatch community these accusations seem 10000000% possible and probable they’re both shady and are have horrible reputations for doing things like this in community made events

Trust me when i say that us Overwatch players hate Kephrii as much as the rest of you.

8:40, honestly in this clip the other guy had to check the corner since Gale had to plant

"I'm wearing 14 grand right now" ah yes a perfectly well crafted masters degree in intelligence studies response to an accusation. FBI job never backed him into a corner it seems because mans cracked like an egg.

Loved his two attempts at flexing. "I'm "literally" wearing 14 grand." So... half a Rolex? And "literally" working for all the government agencies with three letter acronyms. Hope you enjoyed your time cleaning sewers and carrying around tree branches, champ. 🤣

Faceit and Heaven Media rushed their "investigation" in the matter. They were fast to respond to put out any tension or possible drama from the accusations and didn't take real care into looking into the history of Kephrii's skill in shooters. Kephrii is self admitted to being a former Global Elite player before he moved to Overwatch, and as someone that is in a similar boat... You don't just lose game sense especially when you play other Competitive shooters to the top level. Individuals went through the footage themselves to find if Faceit's and Heaven Media's findings were accurate. Most of the situations where he was knifed were around B, and he was deliberately ignoring Apartments allowing Gale to knife him. Comparing that game to a previous game on the same map from the previous day, Kephrii isnt against Gale and is playing B where he isn't being deliberate to ignore Apartments. I 100% believe this was a planned knife reed for Gale. They're good friends, they duo Overwatch a lot and are friends outside this. And if you know of Kephrii's history in Overwatch in the slightest... You'd easily come to the same conclusion.

"I'd never get caught cheating" but you did and made a clown of yourself

All I'm gonna say is that in 1000 hours of csgo, I've never seen more than 2 knives on the same player by the same player before EVER

That last clip where he was calling out that streamer. Everytime he said looking off the monitor, did it not cross his mind that there is a mini map in the top left corner. Also the first Noko clip is very valid why are you not looking up when you teammate just died from up there lmao. Either the single most stupid player or blatently throwing.

Nobody talking about the guy looking straight at the other one through the bench in the first clip ? Like, he looked nowhere but there... Also, you dont need a master's degree to understand that when your teamates are looking mid, you don't need to look short. That's silver level shit from someone who plays shooters as his job. I just find it weird we even discuss whether or not they're cheating. We saw 2 clips of knife kills only and they were more than suspicious.

with a tournament structured like that, whats stopping everyone on both teams from agreeing to knife mid every round?

The reasoning where they say "I'm rich so why would I steal or cheat to get money" is so funny LOL!!! remember that the biggest thieves in the world are not those people who don't have money but those rich greedy people that loves money....

I'm never going to forget that time BastionMain was high after getting his wisdom teeth removed, got into a game with Kephrii, and Kephrii just muted bmain for sounding different.

In the ow community Kephrii is pretty well known for being a general scum bag in and out of game to the point where hating on him for all the things he’s done has just gotten pretty redundant, honestly not surprised to see him in this spot and his response is even less surprising :/

the bigger question I have is how would he have known who was attacking him? you cant see his name.

“If I was gonna cheat as an individual with master's degree in intelligent studies and analysis, a former FBI analyst, having worked literally for all of the fucking 3 letter agencies, 4.5 years active duty army,” Said all of this yet still can't avoid knife kills, stated that you're a ‘genius’. Why don't you use that brain to be smarter in-game? Or is it you wanted to cheat? Telling all of that still doesn't prove your innocence.

We all know as CTs in Mirage, you defend B from advancing Ts by staring at market and window, nothing else… By the way he called that girls game he knows how to play. He walks backwards into palace, shoots at an enemy, retreats then turns his back to that enemy’s position, pulls out his knife and starts to walk away is an absolute blatant throw. You don’t have to compare him to pros, even comparing him to amateurs and by his own calling ability, he was throwing.

7:37 Why would he run away that carelessly when he just spotted T at palace seconds ago? You don't need to be pro to understand this. And the audacity to drag nick and tiffae at dust 2. There are 2 T at upper tunnel. They didn't check lower and didn't communicate it to tiffae. That's a common mistake for pubs ( as in unorganized team ).

kephrii really whipped out the navy seal copypasta to defend himself lmao

"he's definitely cracked" *proceeds to show the least skill hero in overwatch*

I am smart af I could fool you all! proceeds to get knifed multiple times

One thing this video fails to mentioned or bring to light is that the Tournament Organizers tried paying Kephrii 5k to drop out of the Tournament before DQing him.

"Remember sometimes your opponent is just having a good day"

Cheats on wife cheats in tourney

2:47 being cracked at OW is like being cracked at Tee Ball. Doesn't mean jack. He wasn't feeding kills. He just blows ass at CS. No one who plays OW is good at CSGO. It's just facts. You can't be good at a game that requires skill if you main a game that doesn't.

Easy solution, you get knifed, you’re out of the tournament. They shouldnt award knife kills, but instead, deduct points from players who gets knifed

"I'm wearing 14k" How to get jumped next time you go anywhere.

Ive been playing CSGO for 10 years, if anyone says "If I were cheating youd never know" or "Id be the first one to call out a cheater", they're probably up to no good.

"I'm literally wearing 14 grand right now." Seems like you've got an expensive lifestyle that you'd like to uphold there. I'm sure he wouldn't resort to anything dodgy in order to maintain a lavish life.

The looking off the monitor to another monitor from tiffae is just her looking at her mini map, I see a lot of valorant/ csgo streamers do it during casual games. Its hard to accuse another person if you yourself is not knowledgeable enough to know, please just stand up for yourself and try not to drag someone with you lol.

From the idea of winning the tourney with most kda and knife kills allready sounds no brainer when you played a game called CS

ummmmm hes sooo smart he wouldnt get caught cheating but soooo smart to get knifed 5 times LOLLLL

Anyone who has heard of kephri isn't surprised by this, which is extremely telling.

He’s right that no one would know. And here we are where nobody knows.

"literally crucified" Oh boy...

TIFFAE WAS LITERALLY LOOKING AT HER MINIMAP ON THE TOP LEFT OF HER SCREEN!!! SHE IS NOT "LOOKING OFF HER MONITOR"

9:10 is probably the most cringest reaction ive ever seen, everything she done was fine and he thought that he was the smart one lmao

the nickbunyun knife is explainable, sometimes cts will smoke doors to get to lower tuns, in this case doors were smoked so he could make it to lower without being detected, and having teammates in tuns is why she didnt clear it

Kephrii: "I'm literally wearing 14 grand...". Yeah and the Emperor's new clothes probably cost him a pretty sum, but he ain't the sharpest knife around.

bro said "hes cracked in overwatch" and then showed a clip of him missing every single arrow

Funny that he critized others poor gamplay, when he said he has no idea about the game... Even if he didn't cheat, he's not a good person in my own opinion.

“If I was gonna cheat I’d do it better than that” and “I’m too rich to scam/cheat for money” are two of the most common phrases that come from people who later are proven to have been cheating

"PLEASE TAKE B, I AM BEGGING SOMEONE TO TAKE B" Such a bad actor lmao

Even silvers wouldn’t get shanked 5 times in MM, and he expected us to believe that BS? So much for an ex-FBI analyst.

I have never heard of any of these people.

Np way he is that bad. My friend was diamond in ow and came to cs after never playing and was nowhere near that bad. I haven't even seen a brand new player sit van like that. Clearly teaming. Not even remotely deniable

"If I want to cheat you would never know." said by every single cheater.

This situation is so weird because it was a tournament with brand new people to the game but then that dudes response was horrible and made him sound guilty

The first Kephrii clip is well.. stupid holding cat from bench when two of your teammates have mid and then not hearing gale drop since gale doesnt know how to silent jump from apps. The tiffae d2 mid clip is more understandable nickbunyun already crossed before she went to throw the smoke so looking away wouldnt have helped him cross and not knowing the timings in general is understandable especially with the d2 changes.

Having master degree doesn't make you clever in everything. You just become better in certain field...

9:47 I know he doesn’t play the game but it is so obvious to anyone who’s played cs or Val that she keeps looking at her map for intel. He even says that’s she’s an immortal coach so what else would she be doing

In the clip, you hear the guy drop down off of B apps, doesn't clear cat, doesn't clear market, fails to clear ninja looks straight to bench and just happens to see the silencer. The guy sitting bench clearly heard him, stops moving once he knows the knife is coming, dies and immediately looks off of his monitor. At least try to hide it a little better. I love how a failing streamer, playing a failing game also brags about his money that he definitely has.

It's kinda insane that i know more on the story then this video cares to share.. Long story: First correction, it was 4 knife kills on Kephrii by Gale, yes it's suspicious that it was the same player, but when you go back in the vod, you can see That Gale Said at the beginning "Guys i just learned that knife kills gives you 5 point, so imma be trying to knife people today" and so he did, He "CHOOSED" B Side, While kephrii was "Assigned" the B side, both solo attacking - Defending. So it's only natural that the two will have likely high encounters. As for how Gale pulled it off on kephrii, 2 was a bad call out from his team mates, 1 was because he was slow - he fucked up. The last he didn't hear cause the moment Gale dropped behind him - was the moment Kephrii spoke to his teammates thus he didn't hear it. People say how unlikely for this to happen. But Gale Had only 4 knife kills, Tiffae had the same if not more knife kills, She got double knife kills in two seperate rounds - making it 4... Everyone was trying to knife people. At one of the occasions one of the "knifed" even said "She didn't even make Audio" Here comes the Ugly tho, So how come this was the result of all this ? Why was it so hostile... It all started with Gale just being a beast of a FPS gamer, If you don't know who gale is, he has 10k hours in OW, Consistent Top5 DPS hitscan player, Used to play Cs as well some years ago, very well known in the OW community, never had a accusation. But Psalm didn't think so, he accused gale of "Ghosting" - aka Looking at chat for information, but he wasn't, he even turned his chat off, kept his eyes on the Game monitor, That didn't work out so Came the Aimbot accusation > Admins went ahead and checked vod + Demo and said hes clean, Psalm didn't like that and Raged about it for 1.5 hour in a call with one of the admins. Then tweeted on his personal account saying "I can't believe this is happening.." THEN Came the "TRADING" accusation with kephrii cause he is "buddy buddy with gale" + the knife kills gale got off on kephrii.. First of, they are friends, the others were business associates tho.. Many of the others come from the same organizations. That was the moment that started out kephrii's side of the story, Kephrii soon noticed people don't react or respond to his questions or comms, later he randomly gets a warning from a admin (because of the knife kills) that one of the players have complained, So he asked to switch sides from B to A... He was kept being ignored, He had to keep going to the point he was assigned to secure. Turns out, Tiffae and many other have muted him or ignored him on purpose since the accusations they held against him and his buddy buddy gale didn't go down with them well, this created this "Hostile environment" Wich in turn resulted in drama, His team muted him entirely - AND ONLY THEN he muted them too. (Wich made him play better more focused ironically) The admins said both players are clean, no foul play, no hostile behavior. But still proceeded to Remove kephrii.. What nobody knows.. Is that the admins offered kephrii 5k$ to leave the game quietly :).. He refused, so they just kicked him with no money.. While gale the accused "Cheater" stayed in, wich is weird even tho He is clean it does have a weird image in your head doesn't it.. Gale the person that got 40-50kills Only ended up 2nd place, while Nick the guy that barely moved a finger won.. Because they fixed the match, He was running a scout, and comming with his team "I have tagged, you can kill" Since Assists earn more points then kills.. Psalm the NFT scammer, and Nick the Cs Lotto scammer.. In a fixed game where they have abused every possible rule and score system.. It's believed that, Tiffae and Nick were Stream sniping, or at least gaining information off of their monitors, nick would Suspiciously look, turn his entire neck to his left, and have a amazing call out out of nowhere and that repeated every turn many times.. It's not far fetched to say, that they didn't know who Gale was and what hes capable of, and invited him without knowing anything, but he started spitting into their plans so they started throwing allegations.. I was there when i watched Gales last match, and it was low key thrown by Noko and the others on purpose. There is a lot more in between stuff. Like how nobody really knew about this event, or how it turns out Cs Players avoid the organization for these reasons.. Or how the third price gets 5k 2nd 15k and third 50k a massive jump.. And it's not team wide, a single individual gets this much... Kephrii Argued with the admins to change the rules, the score system, do something about the knifings, the assists etc... but they said "It's just for a fun tourney so casuals can enjoy too" Even players said "bro it's just fun" while hard sweating to share assists on the scout.. How kephrii was bribed to take money and leave, like would you pay someone that was guilty ? Or how Psalm and Tiffae Dropped the info to Jake Lucky that "gale and kephrii are cheating" 2 hours after the admins have already cleared both of them in their private discord chat... I'M sorry, but somethings are just not short or simple.. If you were to piece it together this shit could've been a legit documentary.

Kephrii just lost his fan base. People hate when you talk about your money. They hate it.

"i didnt cheat im wearing 14k right now" people with money always want more money, just look at where 90% of the worlds money is

1. Don't say you can get away with cheating cause no one else would know - not something someone smart would do 2. I would think someone who claims they're so smart they can get away with cheating would at the very least rotate to B while looking at palace *after having seen someone there* instead of running with his back turned to it. Real genius move there.
