The Biggest Cheating Scandal in osu! History Just Happened 

Rip Crystal. He popped off and went crazy just to get disqualified

I don't know what is more insane, the fact that a single cheater ruined the entire Chinese team, or the fact that if chicony wasn't suspicious and didn't researched more he probably could get away with it. What a world we live in

I feel so bad for Crystal, he's such a consistent and all-rounded tournament player

I remember when everyone was clowning on Chicony but he turned out to be right 😭

I can't describe how much daunting it is to play against a cheater In our match against China. Fia had a 2.9 match cost, fced every single one of the 6 maps we played, playing against a team that gets 950k average by default from one player is a nightmare, not counting the fact that crystal played absolutely incredible. I just feel kinda sad for the rest of the team who wanted to play the tournament, and could've possibly placed top 12 even without Fia

I feel kinda sad for all the teams that got eliminated by China before China got banned and the other Chinese players who were looking really good Fia pulled down her own team and other teams as well

Imagine making a collab with yourself 💀

That ending was the plot twist to end all plot twists. I thought things that insane only happened in fiction

marking a true end to this whole "fia"sco :tf:

Some more context on a couple of things: China's win against Russia could have bern almost unaffected if Fia wasn't there. Her score decided the outcome only on 1 map and even then her absense could have been made up for. Apparently, Chicony(and some other members of the community) actually had gathered a lot more evidence by the time of his "lost to a cheater" tweet but it was only revealed to a small group of people on stream(not even his stream i am pretty sure) and was not discovered at the time of his osu report thread. His position seems unjustified at first, but he actually had reasons to be confident in his allegations

"You thought it was Fia, but in reality it was ME, FUSHIMI"

I had my suspicions of Rio & Fia being the same person based on personal experience online. I used to have an online friend, who blocked me after I asked if the gf account was also him. Had another friend who'd only communicate through someone else

What's even worse is that the Chinese community had suspected Fia for a long time - hence this "joint performance" by Fia and Rio origins, to deflect a suspicions. In the end, she was accepted her as "innocent until proven guilty." To its own disaster for China team. You say it was an embarrassment for the OWC - what if, for example, China had won a medal and prize money? THAT would have been an embarrassment probably for the rest of the game's existence.... And it was not out of the question - Korea (and later Poland) showed that the United States are not unbeatable. PS. This "mapping in a similar way" was even crazier - both accounts hosted each other's mapsets, gave Guest Diffs to them, succesfully Ranked them.... They even teased each other in comments and discussions about them! And that's all in FEW DOZENS of mapsets! This, by the way, is thought to be the reason for this whole madness - one of Rio's maps was disqualified for Ranked at the last minute for.... copying fragments from Fia. Either he decided to take revenge or he was scared of being caught - so regardless of the reason he decided to leave in style.

I don't even play Osu and found this story crazy and interesting to follow. And what a plot twist at the end there!

I feel bad for the China team for losing their accomplishment, because of Fia.

Most people rejected His message. They hated Chicony because He told them the truth

feel bad for that dude that carried them due to the cheaters blunders felt like his carrying efforts went in vain coz of that disqualification

i'm sorry, why did it take them so long to realize they were the same person? that was literally the first thought i had when i heard she communicated through a friend.

Imagine having the balls to risk going down in history as the first cheater who got caught mid game in the Osu world cup.

19 minutes ago i tripped on the asphalt with my mcdonalds tea and now i have a broken ankle. frick you whoever made this road so long.

Fia is such a disappointment from our country

In China we have a saying goes like”一颗老鼠屎，毁了一锅粥” which means “A little piece of turd could ruin a whole pot of soup.”

How nobody was suspicious beforehand that they are the same person is beyond me.

most 5Head cheating scandal ever

The Fushimi Rio & Fia being the same person was so obvious lmfao.

after this, I think *one of* the solution is to require all players to livestream the tournament either publicly or privately to the tourney mods. (with regulated sufficient quality & framerate) I don't know if it's practical or not, but for me that is surely one of the best solution I can think of

I don 't get how these online tournaments don't require handcams.

dear tournament streamers: you can save a player's replay from the results screen by clicking their window and hitting F2 this may be somewhat relevant to the general topic of this video

This is why we always get nervous when 视频游戏黑客 joins a match

rip to crystals man that save was immaculate to watch and just one guy had to ruin it

"just happened"

I feel bad for the other 6 people in china team that have nothing to do with this and getting disqualified. Damn if I were in they place I would be mad AF at rio for cheating.

After watching this I honestly wonder how many other players like this are out there doing this. That’s just crazy

Remember that we can't just say that an entire country is bad just because of 1 person

Ohhhhh. I remember seeing that 44 page thing and since I am not really into osu tournaments, drama etc I had no idea who fushimi rio or these were and what it even was all about. Thanks for this video it really cleared out things that I had already forgotten about lol.

i feel really bad for the china team, they played so well especially crystal, only to get shafted by a cheater. also hell of a twist with fushimi, cant escape your cheating also chicony being moderately salty and butthurt made people look closer and actually find the truth, the guy who called him toxic did not look good lol, sometimes people are gonna be sore losers dont be that guy

I heard this story before, but wasn't aware yet that Fushimi Rio and Fia are one person. Wow, my mind is blown away

Why are people feeling more sorry for the Chinese team and not all the other teams that had to play fairly against cheaters

i honestly dont get why people would cheat in a tournament. Like the moment someone gets suspicious youre done

Bro that one with remembering where to put your mouse, is the wildest claim ever. Osu! Players just don’t need to remember it, for some other games it’s optimal to and other things with remembering things for different kinds of maps or something or other, honestly. I guess it all worked out though 😅

that plottwist was insane

I dont know what the fuck this game is, but i like seeing cheaters get punished

My jaw dropped down to the floor with a speed of 727kmh when it was revealed that both of them were the SAME PERSON

buying 3 different laptops, and replay submitting in tournaments with 3 multis to take over the tournaments, see you soon

Things like this is exactly why games even chess require people to be on live webcam for any competitive setting and I believe OSU will eventually have similar requirements of a live hand cam at the very least an unfortunate circumstance for individuals who actually struggle due to computer speeds.

Fia and Fushimi Rio being the same person is like predicting a plot twist that i knew it was comimg

just happend?? dawg this was 10 years ago 😭

Kudos to Osu for not protecting cheaters unlike Activision in Warzone. 😂

-1000 social credit

What I truly feel sad about is the fact that the rest of the Chinese team trusted each other. Seeing them winning gave them that “false hope” that their hard work is finally putting in good use. To find out this whole time you were carried by a cheater ? Must really make one hopeless. I also feel bad about Italy and the UK, getting beaten by a cheater must’ve been a hard pill to swallow. I hope they get at least a chance to play again but I doubt it.

Me: Never even heard of osu before Video: "Player Caught Cheating!" Also me: How dare they sully the good name and integrity of this game I know nothing about!

playing on two different accounts during a tournament is crazy

i dont play this game but SURELY layering the teams ontop of eachother is better than forcing spectators to try and look at 8 extremely fast pace games at once?

"osu lags if I connect to bancho" That was SUCH BS, I've played osu on a dual core system with a 1mbps connection and have never suffered "lag" while connected. Why is it that every time I read "cheating drama", China's somehow involved? Chinese players have even cheated on non badged tourneys, like WTF? Shame. Context for my rant: A Chinese team cheated during the "4Digit Mania World Cup" and got perma-banned from it IIRC, we faced said team (I was livid when I found out)

10:30 true end to this whole "fia"sco

I feel so bad for crystal and the other China members tbh.

I think OSU should make it mandatory to have cameras pointed at the players and their desks like every other eSport/game tournament. It would not only give more evidence but act as a deterrent as well.

Fia's identity was obvious before the reveal, but glad it got confirmed.

When you think about it, the best cheater in the game has yet to be caught 🤔

looks like osu and geometry dash have something in common

Don’t watch osu but Fia vs Fushimi Rio must’ve been crazy

Feels bad for the rest of them especialy Crystal, there are genuine og good player there but this incident and after that the situation in China is not so good the other consequence of this incident is also give legit offline player a bad name. At this point when I see a player boasting about their gain, goals or bla bla bla personal life I end up put them on red flag list before believe they are legit player.

Every time someone comes out as " I know this popular yet unseen by anyone internet guy who made an oopsie but they're really sorry I wish I could tell you" I immediately know it's them all along.

Enforce required cameras on at all times during play and require all replays to be submitted after each session. You need to approach tournament play like Chess does when it comes to anti-cheating measures.

That username readoff was the most awkwardly predictable string of names I could have thought of Especially "Joseph Joestar" jfc I feel called out by myself lol

I saw the title and m brain thought it was spaceUK related

I predicted the "this person is Fia" twist the moment it was stated Fia only communicated through them as a proxy.

willy: finally, it's over. me: nice willy: ONE WEEK LATER me: oh shit here we go

I cant handle the fact that he wont stop saying "Ose" or whatever bothers the shit out of me tbh

why does this kid wanna cheat in osu yikes he must feel insecure

the fushimi rio being fia thing is honestly so sad if I were them I’d end it all after that stinker dropped 😂😂😂

wow china and cheating, name a more iconic duo

There have been 2 Cheaters in Taiko World Cups before 2018 and 2020 which were caught and got restricted

And in "most obvious twists of the century" Fushimi Ria was, in fact, Fia. I mean it's not even subtle they literally changed the username to an abbreviation of their _own username_ too.

wtfff the plot twist caught me so off guard. This is one hell of a story.

Still feel bad for Crystal

Anyone who ever played an mmo can't be one bit surprised by the "plot twist" at the end

Oh my lord! This is such a well made video :o Thanks for putting the time in to make it!

i've never played osu, but man i was never expecting this twist.

Might be slight bias for lack of better word, but it seemed painfully obvious Fia didn't exist, based on only having seen this video and having no prior knowledge. Like stated in the video, the constant lack of being able to provide basic proof of replays and basic existence, as well as the matching profiles, seemed quite blatant no? Maybe I'm wrong and overthinking, but good video nonetheless !

Once you said it was a tournament about people representing their country I instantly knew you were going to say China. THeir gaming culture is beyond fucked because the Chinese don't view cheating as being bad. To them using any and all possible advantages is the way to play games. This is why most of the players who cheat tend to originate from China.

Cheating is the only thing new gen gamers know how to do, it's sad. The osu community is toxic as hell though so what's a bit more drama but anything they desserve.

my favorite captain chicone

Holy i did not know osu had a comunity this big

i love how you picked forsaken as your intro

I dont even play osu but this case is wild, the way they figure it out and the 40 page document is nut

Dude, imagine being a super good player, verified and all. To then be basically told to go eat dirt because one of your teammates cheated. I'd be LIVID.

Fushimi Rio vs Fia in a tournament setting be kinda crazy lmao. Playing against yourself.

Gotta love the casual racism in the comments.

Osu version of spaceuk

the plot twist was crazy 😬

One time in a little player unknown battlegrounds tournament, an entire team of chinese pro players cheated with x-ray vision. I don't want to sound too racist, but considering the vast amount of cheaters from china, especially in fps games, this country is bound be cheating in most games.

bro has a osu channel but doesnt know how to pronounce osu

Great vid dude

This has been quite a Fia-sco

The account dupe was a wild twist that suddenly makes sense of the avatar of both being the exact same picture, but highlighting the other character that's off-screen. This person *was wagging it around in front of everyone the entire time* and it took the biggest tournament to actually expose that.

My biggest claim to fame is taking part in an osu! world cup. We came 4th so I didn't even get a badge :(

This is truly coincidental since not many days ago, the biggest Geometry Dash ⏹/\/\/\/\ cheating scandal happened.

but i really cant imagine how someone manage to found out they are the same person

This was the stupidest attempt to cheat in osu! that I'd ever heard of. How anyone, for a mere second, thought that Fia wasn't an alt account is absolutely beyond me. This was the most obvious case of multi-accounting I've ever seen. The bizarre play-style and everything else only made it more obvious, but it would have been clear anyway. It's hilarious that it took so long to figure out.
