Call of Duty player tries to prove he isn't cheating, accidentally proves he's cheating
A Call of Duty: Vanguard player accidentally revealed himself to be cheating while competing in an unofficial paid tournament this week. After drawing some suspicion about the legitimacy of his play, CoD streamer Kenji apparently tried to prove he wasn't cheating by pointing a webcam at his monitor and streaming during a 2v2 Search and Destroy match.
Kenji's team won the 2v2 match, but his competitors ImSasukee and iLuhvly decided to dispute the results with the tournament hosting service Checkmate Gaming. While reviewing Kenji's stream, Checkmate noticed something strange. As shared in a clip on Twitter, at one point Kenji's monitor cam plainly shows that he's using wallhacks (a common cheat that lets you see enemies through walls). You can tell by the floating rectangles that appear on-screen—those are boxes drawn around enemy players that Kenji can track across the map.

The stream the clip originates from has since been deleted by Kenji (along with his entire channel), but you can watch his competitors discover his wallhacks in this archive of their stream. Following the investigation, Kenji has been banned from Checkmate Gaming, where he had apparently earned nearly $4,000 since late 2020 by playing CoD. If that wasn't enough, the collegiate league Kenji competed in, the College CoD League, issued Kenji a permanent ban and disqualified his other four teammates representing Grand Canyon University in the league. The league announced its decision this morning on its official Discord server.
«Kenji is permanently banned from the CCL,» the statement reads.
