Vikkstar responds to Warzone Wednesday \u201chacking\u201d accusations VikkstarAfter winning three consecutive weeks of Keemstar\u2019s Warzone Wednesday tournaments, Vikram \u2018Vikkstar\u2019 Singh Barn has now responded to the heat received for a clip that fans suspected indicates hacking. Warzone Wednesdays bring together the biggest Call of Duty streamers from around the world to compete for a $20,000 prize. English streamers Vikkstar and Kacey \u2018WarsZ\u2019 Channer have now won three consecutive weeks and have drawn a ton of attention for the feat. Part and parcel to that attention is the inclination to seek out competitive impropriety on behalf of the winning duo. Fans were initially content with complaining that Vikkstar and WarsZ were either benefiting from unimpressive lobbies in the U.K. or had reverse-boosted themselves into easier ones. But now a clip is circulating in which a quick Vikkstar flick against a wall is suggested to be an indication of hacking. The clip was initially shared by a Twitter user named \u201calfie\u201d who asked \u201cWhat is this?\u201d with a \u201chacking\u201d hashtag included. https:\/\/twitter.com\/alfie93023655\/status\/1261674404905353228 The presumptive concern Alfie may have here is that Vikkstar\u2019s sudden, precise motion denotes an aim hack attempting to lock onto an enemy hidden behind the wall. For controller players, that movement is certainly suspicious. But if you\u2019ve played or even watched any PC FPS gameplay, flicks are entirely standard and don\u2019t engender any second thoughts\u2014even when they are randomly directed toward scouting enemies. Unsurprisingly, when asked if he had ever played an FPS on PC in the replies, Alfie responded \u201cNo, I haven\u2019t.\u201d In order to clear his name, Vikkstar provided a simple clarification for why he flicked to the side of a wall: \u201cEveryone keeps tweeting me this\u2026I was scanning for the rest of the enemy squad on the left, while ADS\u2019d so I had magnified vision.\u201d Everyone keeps tweeting me this\u2026 I was scanning for the rest of the enemy squad on the left, while ADS’d so I had magnified vision. There wasn’t even an enemy where I aimed to. Believe me, if I was a hacker, it would be a LOT more obvious than that \ud83d\ude02 https:\/\/t.co\/93bQIi6ICR \u2014 Vikkstar123 \u2605 (@Vikkstar123) May 16, 2020 If you want to put an asterisk on Vikkstar\u2019s victories because he plays in England or because you believe PC players should not be placed in lobbies with console players, that\u2019s your business. But moving a mouse is Vikkstar\u2019s business and, before you accuse him of hacking, maybe check if that\u2019s just him going to work first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
