Dr Disrespect calls out Activision & Warzone tourney admins for hacker drama Instagram, @drdisrespect \/ ActivisionFollowing scandal over a disqualified cheater in a Warzone tournament, Dr Disrespect is calling out Activision\u2019s lack of an anti-cheat and Twitch Rivals\u2019 lack of a formal process for investigating hacks. In hours of drama that rocked the competitive Call of Duty: Warzone community, a smaller streamer, \u2018Metzy_B,\u2019 was accused of cheating during the $250K Twitch Rivals Doritos Bowl tournament. Prior to the final match of the event, his team was disqualified by tournament admins and stripped of any chance at tournament earnings. Twitch Rivals have remained relatively quiet on the issue, practically ignoring it during the broadcast and offering up a minimally worded explanation over Twitter. In their explanation, the admins simply explained that Metzy \u201cwas ruled to be cheating\u201d and subsequently \u201cremoved from the event.\u201d With that lack of transparency, rumors and accusations flew. Former Call of Duty League pro, one of the highest Warzone earners currently, Thomas \u2018Tommey\u2019 Trewren spent hours interrogating the accused and having a friend take control of Metzy\u2019s PC to dive through his logs for any proof of hacks. This all leads to Dr Disrespect asserting that, with or without an Activision anti-cheat, tournament organizers need to do better. As shared by \u2018WickedGoodGames,\u2019 the Two-Time has a clear perspective on this issue. If the developers can\u2019t institute an effective anti-cheat, then every single tournament must \u201cdefine a process in finding out if he is [cheating] or not \u2026 obviously outside of the whole Call of Duty not having an anti-cheat kind of software built in.\u201d The drama was obviously divisive, as most participants in the tournament believed Metzy (and others) to be cheating, while others weren\u2019t so sure. With no one knowing precisely how Twitch handled the situation, the community was left to investigate themselves. As Dr Disrespect has heard, the \u201cpurple snakes\u201d disqualified Metzy based on \u201ca couple suspicious clips\u201d and without asking to check his computer. This is echoed by the accused himself, who has since commended Tommey for trying to figure out what the admins had failed to. I talked to the mods of twitch rivals and they based the dq mainly off of one clip and I specifically kept asking for someone to jump in a call with me to go through everything. Tommey put his own career on the line for this situation and he shouldn\u2019t have had to! Much love \u2014 NCGD ___________ (@METZY_B) January 22, 2021 That account goes directly against others, as fellow competitor BobbyPoff reacted by alleging that Metzy was, in fact, originally reluctant to display his task manager logs. what i dont understand is why he couldnt just open his task manager and show us what he was running?!? If youre not hiding anything then why not show us lmfao \u2014 BobbyPoff (@BobbyPoff) January 22, 2021 While the truth may be impossible to find at this point, as Twitch Rivals have given no explanation of their process and any number of files could have been deleted by the time Tommey got access, Dr Disrespect\u2019s point is proven by the drama. If Activision can\u2019t deliver a functioning anti-cheat and tournament organizers don\u2019t have a strict, transparent policy for hackers \u2014 then community infighting over a \u201cgrey area\u201d is unavoidable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
