Story Of A Halo Pro Caught Cheating 

It’s hilarious to me that his name is Shaady. What’s next? A guy named “X-Ray” is gonna get caught using wall hacks lmao

We definitely should not let him compete. Online competition requires way too much trust and he has not earned any.

Other players should not play with him out of respect for the community itself. How do we know if he is or is not cheating still? We don't. That alone is enough. And the fact that 343i haven't said a thing just proves how disconnected they are from their own comp community...

I'm always down for a redemption arc. However, with a game like Infinite where there is no real anti-cheat, believing someone is being sincere is putting a whole lot of faith in them.

The issue you raised up is "can we trust him". I don't think that we should even think about that. I think that cheating, like he did during online competition should lead to a life ban. No matter if you continue or not, everything has a consequence and I don't think we should allow cheaters to compete. I also think it's morally concerning that the rest of the BH3 players had teamed up with him when Sunriz left. I know they had to find someone quick, but thinking it's normal to team up with a past cheater is mind blowing to me

Beating Optic on LAN can’t be understated

A new HCS content creator? Holy shit, welcome brother!!! Awesome video btw!!!

It's time for Shaady to start thinking about a college major. Great video mate 🫡🐐

Hey I produced the honda fan cup

First video of yours I've seen, it's great. Good editing, I thought it was very well paced and clear. Good voiceover work with supporting video evidence in rhythm.

Cool video. Just so you know your mic sounds like it has a grounding issue. Could be a bad cable or connection. A "ground loop isolator" can eliminate that humming sound or help you troubleshoot the source. Its not super annoying or anything just thought you might want to know.

Great video, it feels a lot harder to keep up with EU Halo than it was in legacy games so these documentary style videos are really helpful, at least for me, to help understand major events that that happen outside of just major event gameplay.

He ain't the only one. Remember Minds getting busted? And he was only banned from that one league. He's still allowed to compete in others. The saddest part about it, is that he was using walls against a team that his squad beat on LAN before.

Awesome first take on this style of video!! I'd love to see more halo videos from the pro scene

This was AWESOME to watch! It’s fantastic to see another HCS documentary channel starting up!

Loving your videos man. Keep up the good work

It is quite suspicious with how fast Shaady was able to rescope to his opponents in those clips provided. Leaves many questions that remain unanswered, just ruins the scene for those who genuinely try to get towards such a level and it ruins, makes matters hard thanks to scenarios like this. 343i and Microsoft really need to up their performance all around with Halo. Great video, @Looney, looking forward to more content from you soon!

Very good video thanks for keeping it to the point and your editing and voice over was good. Music wasn’t too loud or nothing

Good video, didn't even know this was happening but you presented things in a good manner.

Never ever allow anyone to return after cheating. the slightest infraction = permanent ban for ever on all platforms that will ban you. The problem is with the persons values not with their actions.

Randomly got this video to pop up for me Watched, having no context as to who was involved or anything, but since I love this type of thing i was curious Was not let down mate, great work and i gave you a sub Keep up the great work

Great video, dropped a sub 😁 Think one easy improvement you could make if you're planning on doing more of these would be a decent mic and pop filter, but well put together nonetheless

yo, extremely good video man! keep up the content 🔥🔥

Entertaining Video, great job 👏 Still can't believe I was casting that last match before he got "exiled"

I watch a good deal of Halo content and have never heard of this, great job bringing it to light!

Banger video. We all know he didn't need the cheats to perform well but his career was in shambles after being dropped, seemed like no one wanted to team with him regardless of him being a demon, so my guess is he put the cheats on to build up his rep again. I personally would love to see him back in some form for the sole reason of EU needing as many good players as they can possibly get to compete with NA.

“fire style: ruin my career no jutsu!!” 😂😂

great content. this is the type of creator that competitive halo needs

Shaady literally being the definition of his name lol the irony.

I wouldnt have been able to guess this was your first attempt. This was great. On the comment of editting, you'll be talking sometimes while simultaneously showing the clip. I think I'd like "And then he got this" *Clip begins*. Instead it's So what he'd do is *clip begins* use this cheat with descoping and scoping as you can see here *last 3rd of clip finishes* I think it flows really well for moments where you don't NEED to show us, but when you're expressly showing us and not just using b-roll, a call to action to pay attention at that time, and then be seeing the beginning, would be good. Test out uploading a video, say "like and subscribe" and then look at the like and sub button at the time you say them. They light up. This timing is similar to how I think these clips could be timed. Otherwise the quality here is big and great, you did awesome and got my sub.

Quality vid on a topic not talked about enough 👌

I like the content! Keep it up man!

It’s about time someone made a video about shaady, especially when he tried coming back with le hazi

Love the what "ifs" but if youre accused of cheating at a tournament of all things even if youre not found guilty, it still looks bad

This video was great please do more like this even if it is for different games

me and my chat loved this, thanks so much, great upload

I like your channel this video got recommended on my home page 👍

His name is Shady. It's like getting mad at a bird for flying...

You did great on the video man it was easy to consume and i didnt need to try hard to get through it so thats good. It's always sad when the top dog is cheating in all games it happens. Its so weird for me to build a foundation in a swamp and hope it dosnt sink. Just like riolu in trackmania

Really good video looney! I think everyone should deserve a second chance. He did what he did. But no one deserves to be punished forever.

Always wondered where he went. Heard rumors and then he disappeared. Good video.

Great video. Keep up the good work!

Surely he wasnt cheating in comps because you would have seen him nit getting de scoped?

No. Pros should not have to play with somebody who's cheated in the past and have to deal with the mental aspect of wondering if they are competing in an unfair situation.

Seeing this as someone who was there at the beginning of MLG. Shit’s disgusting. No 2nd chances for cheaters. Great vid g, have a good day

wow 414 subs? By the quality of this video I thought you would have a lot more! well make it 415 now tho

death, taxes, and shady halo kids

Cheaters need to be public shamed, so they can go home be and get depressed about their actions, lay in bed a couple weeks and lay a couple tears in their pillow

Shaady is back now in arlington I think. I don't think HCS put any sanctions or suspension on him, not that it matters too much since euro halo is almost defunct now.

The video from Kadaddle/BKap explains how the descope cheat works but did it prove that Shaady was using this cheat? The non-response to allegations is definitely not a good look for clearing your name though. If 343 haven't taken any action there's technically nothing stopping him from coming back aside from finding teammates willing to play with him right? He could qualify for a LAN and prove himself...

Do we know for sure this isn't a theatre bug

At this point we need to fine these people otherwise it is just the norm, there is an NA player that cheated once years ago and got caught in competition and got caugth AGAIN in 2024 and I think it was during the Major RMR qualifiers if I am not mistaken. Ban for life and a fine and goodbye that's how it should be handled.

【Sunglasses Pirates】Cheats, why he should be trusted again and what does he do to to deserve the returned respect & trust?

better than most keep the vids coming brother

Is hard to trust in ranks and stuff now at days tbh, i was playing yesterday Halo Infinite casual on btb and some "heroes" on the enemy team have a aim that did consecutive headshots with shock rifle but not like delayed, literally consecutive And for what history told his, everyone can cheat even someone that have a really high rank in any game, even reputation

There have beem countless players in various scenes caught cheating and then came back and done well. Envoy from CoD comes to mind and he's been on top teams for years (optic, thieves, ultra, etc).

Its insanely ironic how his name is shady

good video you deserve more subs

Sick video. Definitely like this type of content. What about shyway next?

He never was officially banned so no one can stop him from playing again in tournaments The only true response to this is an anti cheat and a real policy from HCS Anything besides this is one’s opinion

I miss the BR starts

Great stuff Darren keep it coming ❤

Being a halo infinite pro is its own punishment lmao

Love the content bruv! Cheaters gonna cheat kick em to the streets.

Awesome vid I sub’d

there's absolutely no way you can say someone is a good player if they were cheating. period.

bkap... a hero... lmfao

Great video... just one thing, I think you need to get a better mic.

Sick thumbnail tbf

Great vid, dude! Well edited, clear and concise.

If he had to cheat he's not Leggend 2.0.

IMO cheaters should get perma-banned; they can never be trusted again and there needs to be a hard punishment to prevent people from trying in the first place. Slaps on the wrist just aren't enough of a preventative measure. Don't cheat or never play again will make people stop and think: "is it fun enough as-is, or do I need to cheat to even play?"

If conclusively proven....PERMABAN

Ahh it all makes since he came from halo 5. Where scumbags would team in free for all for rank 1 because they were so bad

well if that flog monster is allowed to play then this guy should be no exception since tashi and the rest of the cowards at 343 wont make an effort to ban them

Really well done video. I'm on the fence about shaady

there should be a 0 tolerance on cheating he should be banned and disbarred from entering tournaments

What a video thank u I’ll be back ❤

Thanks! Somebody had to start

Finally someone I know doing Halo content

Maybe because i dont play this game, but i dont understand at all what the cheat he is using is? when they showed the cheater POV, and you said thats how it looks like when the cheater is shot, i dont get how we know thats what he saw? Bro im confused 😭

Lifetime ban for known/proven cheating is the standard in multiple much larger and more successful leagues/esports. There are former Pro CS 1.6/CS:S and CS:GO players who were banned for cheating and they aren't allowed to play CS2 competitively in official tournaments. And why would we allow or even want cheaters to play alongside people who don't cheat? Despite popular opinion, stricter punishments can solve the problem because the ones who are willing to break the social norms are punished permanently versus temporarily/put in timeout.

good video man 🫡🫡

Great work!

Anything on PC will be ruined with cheaters

Once a cheater, always a cheater.

Great video!

dope video big fan

"Raw talent in Halo 5" like having raw talent at cutting pizzas.

You’re Mockit Looney right used to play with warlord and co?

Need a story on the cod pro who was cheating

I dont trust Halo Infinite Theater. As an editor, I have seen so many wonky things with that tool that there is no way it is a credible enough of a option to condemn someone who has performed well in live tournaments. IMO

Just why would you throw everything away?Guy was a monster on Lan,had fun watching him even tho i stopped playing infinite.

Great video Looney 🍻

Next video on monster lol

Dang yall remeber when halo didnt have a aim button an u had to actually be good with the BR

The era of integrity skill and passion inside gaming died with streaming its sad but nothing can be trusted . If ur cheating and streaming should be no questions asked bans with proof of course. Especially if ur taking subs and donations thats a fraudulent scam but people just cant resist the fantasized delusion of "i wanna be a streamer content creator " well sadly not everyone is able to but stop at nothing to be infamous but then all of sudden they have sponsors and a following and it creates ego etc cheating is accepted these days and its shameless .

its so sad to actually practice and get good only to use a something as stupid as a descope hack

Once a cheater always a cheater.

Idc how well known he was. You cheat, then stay away from the community. Period! Especially if it involved playing for money. I hope hes never allowed in the competitive scene for the rest of his life. For any games competitive scene.
