xQc Reacts to Piers Morgan vs Hans Niemann (And His Lawyer) 

💀

anal beads vibrating him out of existence slowly

Both of them. I keep juggling with the theory that Hans and his army of lawyers are robots inserted by aliens to prepare an invasion of the world, logically starting with the world of chess, perhaps to analyze our military prowess and skills at strategy and tactics. 👽Several times during the video his 'lawyer' clicks on buttons on his legs to switch programs or mute him. :P

lmao, thats spot on

Piers Morgan would probably say something like "But you have to drink a lot of times to be considered an alcoholic but you would only have to cheat once to be considered a cheater, yes?"

@@TheOmnipotence Once cheating online, always cheating.. also OTB?

Sorry, bad analogy. A more accurate one would be that he *claims* he only *relapsed* twice in his life. But depending on the relapse, judging him for it and staying passively suspicious can be warranted. Furthermore alcoholism is something that does not necessarily hurt other people, although it often does. But still, there are much better analogies, like cheating on a partner, embezzling money from your company, evading your taxes, beating up your partner or children. As he said, in the world of chess, cheating is the worst crime (I think?), so it's not like it's easy to just sweep under the carpet as if it meant he may 'just' have a bottle problem but only claims to have gone drunk twice in his life. It's more like he admitted to doing something really horrible twice, first for money professionally at age 12, then for ELO (ie fame, and by extension fortune, prestige, life opportunities, etc) at 16 in full awareness of how serious and dishonorable that is, and then we have to take his word (and his dubious half-assed apologies/justifications) for it that he never did it again and would never do it again... even though to him online games are meaningless and his sole goal seems to become the best chess player in the world: a goal that would incidentally be definitely easier to achieve by cheating successfully (just sayin).

bros an echo

common sense tells me that you just got all of your information from this interview and have no idea about anything related to chess. If your common sense is jumping from accused to caught you need help

@@danmacsound you’re a naïve moron if you think cheaters only do it once or twice. Touch some grass, sweet summer child 🐣

Agreed, he claimed they were mistakes but frankly he seems at peace with what he's done: "I was young", "it was only a couple hundred bucks", "rated games online outside of tournaments are meaningless". He didn't explain what happened to make him realize cheating was evil. He keeps saying we must give him the benefit of the doubt but frankly his discourse isn't that of someone who has repented and is seeking forgiveness on the basis of that change of heart, it's that of someone who wants to be forgiven on principle and 'for free', because he simply doesn't wanna face the consequences of his past (and potentially present/future) actions. It's may I add a typical narcissistic/psychopathic trait to feel victimized by anyone holding any grudge against you no matter what you did to them regardless of whether you genuinely expressed sincere remorse for your past actions. Not to say the situation is not more complex here ofc, but his attitude, his reaction to the situation, is that of the classical gaslighting asshole who says you're the one ruining the relationship by not forgiving automatically any wrongdoing perpetrated in the past (which is every wrongdoing as soon as so much as an hour has gone by). Every day is a new them, they claim, even if they relapse time and again. But that's not an apology, that's a magical eraser, it's a fallacious attempt at making people feel guilty about reacting negatively to the shit you put them through and for which you're clearly not particularly sorry about.

magnet truly is a pepega clap

quite interesting that its always people who know zero about chess that have this take

@@deejn3642 what was his exact method of cheating in that otb game? Elaborate please

@@plarysafeasibly there could be a couple of things. All he would need to know is when to study the position for key moves. At Super GM level what matters the most is knowing when to take your time in a sense, or when to search for important moves. At that level the big difference between Super GMS and stockfish (AI chessbots) is that humans are bound to make errors and miss practically non-human moves to see in games. Considering the time controls, Hans would just need a tip from someone or something to know when to truly study the position for certain types of move. I think the bigger issue is his explanation of why he did certain moves were quite lacking afterwords. Most GMs I have talked to have thought of it as quite fishy. Honestly, regardless of whether he cheated in that match or not, the fact that he's cheated at least twice over an online format should be reason enough to cast doubt on his OTB games.

@@plarysa no clue

nah broits completely normalto justbeat magnus and then when saked to explain your moves say that itwas obvious.

Carlsen made a mistake and has too much pride to admit it. Just take at look at his game vs. Niemann. Of course it's still GM-level play, but Carlsen really didn't calculate the Endgame through like he normally does

How is that nerd?

@@piyush2465it’s extremely nerdy to say your lawyer is also your friend. You hired him dude… he provides a service and that service is not friendship

​@@GeneralBlorp Do you know Hans, his laywer, or how they spend time together? No. What if they spend a lot of time together and trust each other?

@@GeneralBlorp this is late but Hans never hired the lawyer, the Lawyer was paying Hans to let him represent and then Hans later gave that money back when the case was dropped out of good will. The lawyer was always working pro-bono

@@jordanious7711 if that’s the case then that’s cool but I will die on the hill of that phrase sounding nerdy 😎

Do you want a medal mate😂

🥇 people in this reply, are manchild(except for me) heres your medal.

@@kimchikin94minmin says the manchild 🎖

Cheating doesn't matter if it's a video game/online? League of Legends is also a video game but has a competitive field, does every game not matter there? The games Hans was caught cheating in online weren't random casual games, they were part of actual prize money events.
