Thanks to his time as a professional CS:GO player, there are few streamers on Twitch who could go toe-to-toe with shroud on a first-person shooter, as his incredible aim and impressive mechanical skills see him dominate any game he plays. On May 19 though, it was the streamer who found himself being crushed by an opponent, leading to an interesting in-game conversation between shroud and the apparent hacker. Shroud encounters a hacker on Apex Legends While playing Respawn Entertainment\u2019s popular battle royale title, shroud ran into an enemy player, who immediately took the former CS:GO pro down, giving him no chance in the firefight. \u201cThis guy owns,\u201d a bewildered shroud told his audience. \u201cHe just destroyed me, Jesus Christ. Is that guy cheating? Yup. I was wondering why I got owned so hard.\u201d Shroud continued to watch the hacker, as he took down another team with ease, with the streamer musing that the cheater had a \u201cvendetta against streamers\u201d due to his in-game username, \u2018ImaTTVCringeKid.\u2019 What confused shroud the most was why he chose to cheat, with the Canadian explaining to his chat: \u201cThe sad part isn\u2019t that he\u2019s cheating, the sad part is that he\u2019s actually not bad at the game, and he\u2019s cheating. \u201cThis guy could actually have a good time playing the game normally, but instead he\u2019s just aimbotting. He has good movement \u2013 his movement\u2019s pretty fucking good \u2013 if he just played normally he could do pretty well.\u201d Shroud interviews Apex Legends cheater Realizing that shroud was watching his gameplay, the cheater alerted the Twitch streamer that he was watching his broadcast, prompting him to start an impromptu interview with the hacker. \u201cWhy do you cheat?\u201d asked shroud, telling him to draw his answer by shooting bullets into the wall, causing the player to start carving the letters \u201cIDK\u201d into the rockface. \u201c\u2018I don\u2019t know.\u2019 Okay. So you don\u2019t know why you cheat. Listen man, your gameplay is actually not bad. You could probably feel much better about yourself killing these dudes [by] playing normally.\u201d Shroud had one final question for the hacker, enquiring as to what age he was. The streamer and his audience watched intently as he moved his weapon to create the shape of \u201c25\u201d with his reticle. The former CS:GO pro concluded: \u201cOkay, you\u2019re 25 years old. That\u2019s all I needed to know. He\u2019s a 25 year old child. There\u2019s no way he\u2019s 25, that\u2019s a lie. There\u2019s no way a 25 year old would act like that.\u201d While Apex Legends had a relatively bug-and-hacker-free start to life, the game has become overrun by issues and players who use programs to give themselves an advantage over other players. While Respawn Entertainment continue to ban players who are caught cheating, more seem to spring up all the time, either unworried or unaware of the possibility of getting banned from the game entirely by the developers. With hackers continuing to appear in Apex Legends, it seems extremely unlikely that this is the last time the human aimbot will encounter his virtual counterpart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shroud confronts Apex Legends hacker to find out why he cheats Twitch: ShroudMichael \u2018Apex Legends player about why he cheats.
