Warzone pro Tommey accuses world record-holder of cheating during tournament Activision \/ Twitter, @TommeyIn the midst of a Call of Duty: Warzone tournament, 100 Thieves\u2019 Tommey accused a World Record-holder and tourney foe, Pacesetter, of cheating \u2014 investigating the evidence live on stream. With over $80,000 in earnings and a contract with 100T, Tommey is more familiar than most with Warzone and, understandably, concerned about competitive integrity. After being eliminated from a Mainland Gaming tournament, he decided to watch the rest of the games (as he usually does) and honed in on Pacesetter (who has been subject to numerous hacking rumors). Growing increasingly suspicious about the new streamer\u2019s gameplay, Tommey eventually went into his chat asking for a monitor cam. That quickly snowballed into Pacesetter leaving his stream for over an hour, being disqualified for refusing to cooperate with tourney admins and deleting both Twitch and YouTube VODs. Pacesetter has competed in tournaments, wagers and broken a World Record, but that recent success could not derail Tommey\u2019s investigation. By the end of the evening, the 100T streamer had exhaustively examined Pacesetter\u2019s gameplay (including from deleted VODs) live on Twitch for thousands of viewers \u2014 resulting in the entire CoD community hailing the Warzone pro as their very own anti-cheat. Although originally reluctant to dub Pacesetter a cheater after receiving clips from people on social media, Tommey paid more attention following his loss in the tournament. Noting subtle signs of cheating (suspicious centering, perfect awareness of enemy positioning), he then decided there was enough reason to demand a monitor cam from the upsurging streamer.

This becomes a nail in the coffin, as inconsistencies in his rationale lead tournament admins to request an anti-cheat process. Suggesting that he was using the keyboard to play music (which never began playing and would have required attention to the monitor he doesn\u2019t seem to be facing), admins requested access to Pacesetter\u2019s PC logs to find out if he had quit a hacking program. In response, the upcoming streamer apparently left for over an hour, causing admins to grow suspicious that he was cleaning out the logs, leading to a disqualification in the semi-finals. Ultimately, it is impossible to confirm with full certainty that Pacesetter was cheating \u2014 as he uses XSplit, a streaming software known for the ability to hide hacks on Twitch. Nonetheless, Tommey\u2019s in-depth investigation into the gameplay and subsequent responses to accusations proved damning enough for the CoD community.

But people that cheat deserve to be told they\u2019re wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
