Cheating in Warzone is one of the hottest topics in the game\u2019s community right now. Between methods allowing players to get into so-called \u201cbot lobbies\u201d to people accusing other streamers of using said methods, one thing for certain right now is that cheating is on the minds of a lot of more-competitive Warzone players. Now, popular Warzone streamer Nickmercs has commented on the drama, stating in a clip from a recent livestream that he knows people cheat using a bunch of different methods. Explaining why that\u2019s part of the reason he won\u2019t play in competitive Warzone tournaments anymore. \u201cThere\u2019s a reason why I don\u2019t play in these tournaments anymore,\u201d NICKMERCS said. It has nothing to do with skill. The only reason I don\u2019t play is because they\u2019re dirty. The f*cking tournaments are dirty. They\u2019re all dirty. I\u2019m not saying everybody playing in them is dirty, I\u2019m saying there are people that are allowed to play in these tournaments that are dirty. I don\u2019t wanna have anything to do with them.\u201d The streamer does levy some pretty strong accusations, he doesn\u2019t mention by name exactly who is using these methods or just cheating in general, due to the fact that he \u201cdoesn\u2019t care enough\u201d to \u201ccall out everybody\u201d. Beyond that, the streamer also complained about \u201capps\u201d that provide unverified statistics, more than likely referring to the number of unofficial Warzone companion apps that started cropping up in recent weeks, which have also gained some notable traction within the community. \u201cThere\u2019s no verification, the math is wrong, they\u2019re not doing it right,\u201d NICKMERCS said. Nickmercs says that he doesn\u2019t play in Warzone tournaments anymore because some people allowed to play in them are \u201cdirty\u201d He also went onto say his team talked to the new SBMM website, and they\u2019ve admitted they haven\u2019t done things accurately SPICY SPICY pic.twitter.com\/VPZn3p4BDA \u2014 Wicked Good Gaming (@WickedGoodGames) January 11, 2021 All in all, it\u2019s understandable why the streamer would be frustrated by these \u201cdirty\u201d tournaments. If certain players truly are cheating and using methods to circumvent SBMM, then that should be dealt with appropriately. While some YouTubers have been more willing to call out certain players for cheating, until we get a longer form breakdown by a big streamer, it may be a while before we have any answers regarding how many people use these methods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NICKMERCS explains why he avoids Warzone tournaments due to \u201cdirty\u201d players Activision\/NICKMERCSIn a recent stream on Twitch, Nickmercs explained that he avoids newer Warzone tournaments because they are \u201cdirty\u201d, claiming that he knows of players who \u201cdrop their K\/D\u201d and use cheats like special routers that allow them to get into lower-skilled lobbies.
