Call of Duty Streamer Accidentally Proves He's Cheating

gamerant.com:

The Call of Duty franchise is an immensely popular one. There are those who play the games casually, just picking up a controller to wind down after a long day, while others make their living playing games like Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Vanguard competitively. With tournaments that can put thousands of dollars at stake, there's plenty to be won and lost for a pro Call of Duty player, which makes it all the more frustrating when a player is discovered to be cheating.

Cheating is an issue in many games, and it plagues both the casual and pro scenes of a game such as Call of Duty: Warzone, which has seen hacks of all kinds from seeing players through walls to making cars fly. While Activision works to implement Ricochet Anti-Cheat, some Call of Duty hackers are finding ways around it, causing cheating to still exist even as countermeasures are put in place against it. While facing a cheater in a match is annoying, it proves infuriating for pro players who may lose out on big wins due to another player cheating.

Call of Duty: Warzone Player Turns into a Plane Mid-Tournament and Pros Aren't Happy

A Call of Duty streamer called Kenji, who had won thousands in tournaments back in 2020, drew suspicion from some of his competitors. To prove that he wasn't cheating, Kenji set up a webcam to monitor his screen during a 2v2 Search and Destroy match in Call of Duty: Vanguard. Kenji won his match, with his opponents still believing he had used hacks to support himself. When scrolling through the footage of Kenji's gameplay, his competitors ImSasukee and iLuhvly noticed something more than suspicious.

In the footage Kenji posted, a floating rectangle can be seen showing the outline of a player, a common feature of wall hacks.
