CS:GO pro under fire after suspicious tournament clip surfaces Sebastian Ekman \/ CS:GOA Finnish pro Counter Strike: Global Offensive player has been accused of cheating after their Loot Bet match was livestreamed on Twitch. CS:GO is still one of the most popular games in esports right now, despite the game releasing almost seven years ago. Pro tournaments are held all the time, with teams desperate to prove that they\u2019re the best players in the world. Finnish pro player Juho \u2018Juhob\u2019 Lampinen is no stranger to such tournaments, playing with several teams over the years, such as Epiphany Bolt and nerdRage. He recently participated in a Loot Bet event, where eagle-eyed viewers spotted something they thought was suspicious. Why did people accuse him of cheating? In the clip, Juhob is seen firing at a wall that has zero sightline of his opponent, before randomly shooting in circles as though he realized he\u2019d messed up by showing a cheat on stream and was trying to throw off the scent. (Click here to watch the following clip on Streamable.) \u201cOh yeah he\u2019s 100% cheating, even did the typical \u201coh shit I fucked up and shot the guy through the wall so let me start shooting randomly to make it look like I\u2019m checking spots then turn it all the way to just shooting in circles to celebrate,\u201d one Reddit commenter said. \u201cLmaoo the fucking panic after he realized he fucked up only made it worse,\u201d another user laughed. The clip even made its way to Twitter, where even more people were confused by his bizarre actions. \u201cIt\u2019s more sketch that he starts spinning in circles and shooting to hide the fact that he just gave it up that he\u2019s walling,\u201d tweeted one person. \u201cYeah, the stuff he started doing after that \u2018aimlock\u2019 makes it extremely suspicious tbh,\u201d another said. yeah, the stuff he started doing after that “”aimlock”” makes it extremely suspicious tbh \u2014 m (@manletmezi) June 12, 2019 It\u2019s hard to say for sure whether he was cheating or simply just acting erratically for some other reason. But it is easy to see why people could have found his behavior a little strange, especially since it seemingly came out of nowhere. Speaking of cheating\u2026 Popular CS:GO YouTuber \u2018Zuhn\u2019 was banned by Valve back in May, after allegedly uploading two videos demonstrating how he uses cheats in the past. The player protested his innocence though, and tweeted, \u201cWelp. The only thing I can think to say right now is [a] false overwatch ban. It\u2019s obvious I don\u2019t cheat but we\u2019ll see what happens. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on.\u201d Overwatch is a system where fellow players can monitor suspicious behavior on Steam. Zuhn had allegedly been cheating for some time, so it\u2019s hardly a surprise that his actions finally caught up with him. They say \u201ccheaters never prosper\u201d for a reason, and it\u2019s always a matter of time before people get caught out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
