Warzone pro Aydan cleared of hack accusations by \u201c$900 headset\u201d defense Twitter, @aydan \/ ActivisionCall of Duty: Warzone pro Aydan was the subject of hack accusations after a play even he said looked mighty suspicious. But after fans noticed he was using a \u201c$900 headset,\u201d people seem convinced he wasn\u2019t actually cheating. Aydan is among Warzone\u2019s best players and highest earners for a reason. The former Fortnite pro has gun skill, movement, and game sense for days. But sometimes he can look unnaturally skilled and that understandably results in concern. During a 2v2 Gunfight with fellow Warzone pros and Call of Duty League star Shotzzy, Aydan pulled a play off that immediately caught a spectator\u2019s eye. Blazt, a former CDL pro himself, was watching the game and jokingly claimed he was about to expose Aydan for cheating. Once everyone saw the clip, it was obvious why it looked so suspicious. Not only does Aydan perfectly read the first kill but he then centers on the second opponent through a wall. Aydan accused of hacking after 2v2 Gunfight clip Did @Blazt catch @Aydan red-handed? \ud83d\ude33 Need a link to his headset asap pic.twitter.com\/NZ19m7adYy \u2014 Dexerto Esports (@DexertoEsports) November 2, 2021 In the clip, Aydan jumps to challenge a prone Shotzzy near the point and then, while capping, his crosshair seems to sit exactly where Stukawaki is. You can see all outlines thanks to Blazt spectating, making things look even more unnatural. Watching it back, all players involved laughed \u2014 but even Aydan said \u201cthat looks so bad\u201d and Shotzzy reacted with confusion: \u201cThat s**t looks insane, what the f**k?\u201d To explain, Aydan\u2019s teammate IceManIsaac rightfully pointed out that they had already cleared half of the map so there weren\u2019t many other spots to be wary of. And Aydan added that he heard Shotzzy, which surprised everyone. Aydan cleared of hack accusations thanks to superior headset In the replies, many pointed to Aydan\u2019s headset to explain how he was able to hear what no one else could. Multiple people referenced a $900 pricetag for the headphones he\u2019s believed to be using: the LCD-GX. One person put out a poll asking if Aydan was cheating or simply \u201cbuilt different,\u201d which resulted in a large majority \u2014 69.2% \u2014 believing it was all fair play. This is likely a testament to the belief in his headset, his experience running Gunfights, and the lack of concern from those he played against. Overall, it\u2019s a classic example of why suspicious-seeming clips need context. If you watch the whole VOD (timestamp around 11:57:30), you can see that Aydan was caught by surprise on maps he wasn\u2019t familiar with and did routinely hear things that others struggled to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
