CDL pros concerned after several Challengers players appear to be hacking CDL \/ TreyarchVideos have surfaced showing amateur CoD players potentially cheating during the CDL\u2019s first Challengers Cup tournament of the season, and now several Call of Duty League pros have expressed worry about the state of the competitive scene. When the Call of Duty League first announced that PC would be used for competitive play in the upcoming season, many immediately showed concern about the potential emergence of hacking issues \u2013 maybe not at the pro level but certainly in the Challengers amateur circuit. Now, they might actually have something to worry about, as several clips from the season\u2019s first Challengers Cup have popped up on social media showing some players performing very suspiciously. Of course, while no one\u2019s technically been proven to be cheating, the community isn\u2019t waiting for the court to be adjourned; Call of Duty has always been played a certain way, and when some previously-unknown players begin to distinguish themselves as outliers suddenly after using a PC is an option, everyone takes notice. https:\/\/twitter.com\/Serveris__\/status\/1335308872639135744 \u201cLMAO Online PC s**t is a joke with no anti-cheat,\u201d New York Subliners star, Clayster, said in response to the clips above. \u201cApparently this dude dropped 71 kills in control too, ahahahaha.\u201d \u201cBoy dropped 71, 19 kills from winning three rounds by HIMSELF,\u201d said former Seattle Surge starter, Pandur. \u201cY\u2019all thought last year was bad, we in the PC realm now boys. Can\u2019t trust nobody.\u201d Surge head coach JoeyNubzy also chipped in with a similar sentiment: \u201cUseless admins and blatant cheating \u2013 we have to do better to help the Challengers scene thrive and keep players around.\u201d Here are some more reactions to potential hackers in the Challengers Cup, as clips are spreading around social media like wildfire after many top-name players started sharing them for awareness. Guy playing HP Checkmate, comes off spawn, this dude tries to shoot him thru the wall then preaims top tower? I’ve never predicted someone like this and I’m a 3 time world champion.. https:\/\/t.co\/N5jv6MgQZK \u2014 Clayster (@Clayster) December 5, 2020 you gotta be a special kind of herb to cheat in these Challenger tournaments your mom would be disappointed smh \u2014 100T Enable (@Enable) December 5, 2020 Already seeing clips of cheaters in the early rounds of the AM Challengers Cup, we desperately need some sort of anti-cheat or this is could scale and take a very bad turn for the scene. \u2014 JP (@JPKrez) December 5, 2020 What can be done about this? Challengers is meant to be a pipeline for future pro-level players while also giving everyone else an official platform to compete for prize money and recognition. Needless to say, something definitely has to be done about this before the competitive integrity of the amateur division is compromised beyond repair. While it\u2019s unlikely for the league to revert its decision allowing Challengers players to use either PC or console, they could require all those playing on PC to stream their POV, which is currently not the case. Not counting the first Challengers Cup, which is still currently ongoing, there are three more such tournaments scheduled up to mid-January, all of which could definitely lose their validity if hacking & cheating continue to be a major issue.
