Getting called a cheater when you are actually not is the highest compliment you can get as a gamer.

ok, but who actually take dan m seriously

Lol Dan M ended up being a cheater. Classic case of “if I accuse everyone else, all the suspicion on me will go away”

Geguri is my favourite at #5... She was vilified for aspiring to become a female overwatch pro and spent countless hours perfecting her craft in order to overcome all odds. Insanely talented, no matter what team she was playing with

The take away I get from this is if Dan M is accusing someone, they’re probably innocent

Professional Player: **Pre-aims a choke/active area** Dan M: "As you can see, he is clearly cheating. He knew someone was there."

Mika wasn’t caught cheating by riot but after that clip and the allegations, she went from wicked flick headshots and being in diamond to being in low gold/silver and always being bottom frag

Accusers, when the accused found innocent, should receive significant punishment and a hefty fine depending on the blowout. Damage to reputation, mental stress, and repercussions of bullying are downright stressful. The falsely accused deserve compensation.

CS:GO loading screen: "Hey, sometimes your enemy is just having a good day"

Dan M got VAC banned a year ago btw. That's why he doesn't make videos anymore.

11:00 I admire that guys story who before signing Taimou to the team built him a rig with his own hands and had him demonstrate his skills live and in action. I admire that approach, very prudent approach that can be applied to many aspects in life!

Huge props to riot to publicly clearing the reputation of players accused of cheating instead of just investigating quietly

Imagine being Dan M lmfao the guy called cheats on every pro and then got a vac ban himself for cheating. Absolutely amazing

Me: "oh thats some good crosshair placement" Silvers: "Thats 100% aimbot"

We need more of this! All I see are videos of gamers cheating in tournaments, but it's really refreshing to see a case where players who are accused of cheating turned out to he innocent! What a nice change of pace! 😊👍🔥

Great video, you should look into the story of whitecat the osu player. Accused by the community until the game banned him, met up with the game creator, proved his innocence and then came back to official servers to take the number 1 spot for 2 years

Being called a Hacker is a compliment for me.

"Headshotted me, right in the head" lmao no shit bud.

I had this shit happen a lot from years ago when I played Counter-Strike Source, and lost friends because of the accusations. A lot of people never seem to understand that a lot of those amazing shots that look like cheating are just the player taking a huge risk and getting lucky, but it's luck with experience and steady hand eye coordination which makes it look even better because they know how the other player might act, or how the game mechanics can create many possibilities for crazy plays to be made. When you play video games, any game, for a very long time you start to understand the "patterns" of game mechanics in general. It's hard to explain what it is. It's like the player can read the code of the matrix type of thing. You just know what to look for and how to react. Like that clip of the guy shooting the other player through the metal gate. The shooter knew their was a possibility of a player behind that gate and where they might be standing or crouching because he has played that map probably thousands of times and could guess where all the spots a player could be sitting. Also the risk wasn't that big, he shoots at the gate and hits nothing, not a big loss, but if he does get a kill out of it then that's a big reward for very little risk so of course he would take the shots. Snapping to the head to get a headshot is also understanding game mechanics, well maybe more like understand how character models interact with the environment. If you do something long enough you just start to know where to aim at any distance and any angle or through objects and anticipating someone coming around the corner by having your crosshair right on the corner where their head will be. It comes easier to some but it isn't impossible to learn if you just practice enough. Proving you aren't cheating in a none competitive gaming situation is nearly impossible as I found out all those years ago, unless you can somehow get them to come to your house and watch you play, then perhaps, but then again who really knows what the accuser is thinking.

Back when I played CS:GO, 7-8 years ago, I played on a fairly high level. Global Elite and played in tournaments. I remember I often turned my mouse/reticle towards where I heard sound through walls. Because of how my headset and surround sound works, it was the easiest way for me to determine exactly where the sound came from. I knew it could seem fishy from outside people and was afraid that silvers watching overwatch would report me for it. I was accused of cheating in matchmaking a lot, and that's the biggest form of flattery in a skillbased game. There's also this thing called game sense, and timings. Lower ranked players don't understand this.

“No matter how good you are, there’s always someone better.”

Pro: **Somehow does a very hard shot** Dan M: Let me introduce myself

getting called a hacker when you’re legit is a compliment, getting called legit when you’re a hacker means you suck at hacking

6 years later and taimou's highlights are something that any OWL hitscan can do. the skill ceiling has raised dramatically since then. he was just ahead of the game.

Moral of the story: Dan M is delusional

“I used to watch their frag movies, now they call me a cheater” ropz💯💯

You had me up until the Mika daime one, she’s really sus and she was even terminated from her contract. Her rank dropped after these allegations

ALMOST BELIEVED IN THIS VIDEO. YOU JUST HAD TO PUT MIKA DAIME IN IT 😂😂😂

Dan M needs to do something with their life lmao

missed shaiko, the guy who ACTUALLY got wrongly banned from tournies in r6. got proven innocent, came back and owned

All these CSGO accusations show me is that a lot of people have no idea how to clear a site and/or have never done something as simple as a YPRAC map. Most of these spots are learned after something as short as an hour on the pre-fire parts of the ypracs. Also, their crosshair placement is really good. It's almost like they're the best in the world and get paid to be so...

wuaoo nice video, its always full of who is cheating but i never saw actualiy this stories about false cheating acusation

Moral of the story: Dan M doesn't understand aiming and crosshair control.

being called a cheater in a game is the best feeling ever

Taimou makes a great point here “I want to be a friend to everyone, kinda. But at some point it you realize that that way of thinking is naive. You can’t please everyone” (paraphrased idk the exact words but still)

I never knew geguri had something like this going on. I wish she was still in the league..

The best part about Dan M is that he got banned for cheating himself.

No one took Dan M seriously. Dude had no idea what he was talking about and it shows.

Mika Daime was a legit hacker after that interview and reaction from streamers she seriously stopped from top fragging and being "good at the game"

When you have had games where cheating was clear, that's pain. People get mean when these things happen to them.

No zywoo? I mean G2 literally refused to sign him because some of the players thought he was cheating back in 2017 lol

Beaulo: *exist TheScore: [softly] I can milk you

It is a very difficult problem, where good guys always lose. In 2005-2009 I remember playing on servers, which had great communities, and I loved that. I remember stopping myself consciously from doing certain plays and wallbangs, because "somebody might be watching", "somebody might record a demo and send to admin", and I knew some jealous people were hunting exactly for that, as I seemed to be doing better than anyone else. It literally affects you as a player, you can never feel free. How many times you do a calculated, intelligent guess, and nade or prefire something ? Countless times. Usually - nobody there, or they're slightly somewhere else, even if your guess is somewhat correct. What happens if you do that live, on camera, and it's the finals of a tournament ? What happens if you actually make 9/10 guesses correct, in a row ? Just simply stars aligning, Slumdog millionaire type of thing ? That's it ? You're done-zo, you get prosecuted ? Because everyone knows anti-cheating software is bypassed by anything, and people have to revert to eye-spy method ? There are countless amounts of possible examples here. However, what is evident - the lack of good anti-cheating software and developer support in catching cheaters, and even moreso - PREVENTING cheating from happening, has ruined so many experiences for people its unbelievable. Nowadays, 2019-2022, people are in constant doubt, paranoia. Everyone knows there are hacks for 100-200 dollars, but we hear even about private hacks that are near to impossible to catch, written by brilliant coders, costing up to 5k-10k, which are not distributed. So this paranoia in community creates endless amount of witchhunting, and endless disrespect amongst players, because right now, more than ever - if you're better than someone, you wont get a compliment or anything friendly towards you, you will be cussed, trolled and reported. And really, if you're a game developer, care about your game's community/future, how hard is it to "pretend" to buy cheats, get the forbidden software, analyse it and prevent it. Cheating in many ways is a kind of "theft", simply speaking, a crime in online world, but since it touches real people, real time - often affecting their lives in one way or another...Is it hard for gaming companies to get togeather and fight it ? How ? One way is to get togeather and start pushing through laws. Too harsh ? How about sharing their data on cheating engines, fighting it togeather ? Small global congramerate ? How about - global banning people - if you get banned on CS:GO for hacking, you get banned on nearly every single game out there, in addition to hardware bans ? Would that make people think twice, before doing it ? Some companies have sought legal action, which resulted in cheat developers instantly dropping hacks for those games. So it works. Why are other companies not doing that ? Just pure greed, for returning customer investment ? WHAT IS ITTTTTTTTTT ?

It's sad that whenever someone can't understand a really good player's choices/abilities the cheating allegations come out. I'm a garbage player but was called out as a cheater back in TFC because I practiced how to control my rocket aim after being conc'd.

The title should be: Salty and Lazy Players Accusing Players Who Train Hard To Get Where They Are of CHEATING. Honestly, Dan M should get sued.

Shaiiko is a siege player that was accused of “spamming his 4 key at an i humane rate” subsequently he got banned for 2 YEARS from the game, I’m utterly disappointed he is not on the list.

I used to play a lot of Unreal Tournament in high school. I’d sink a few hours almost every night on Arena Master servers. One night I was popping OFF. One round in specific I had a lightning gun headshot on every kill, and before I got unreasonably banned from the server I took a screenshot that showed I had 70% accuracy on all weapons. Of course I never cheated, but friends on the server always bring up my cheats because everyone who played that night remembers it.

FalleN both being on this list, and also joining in the dogpile on Leaf is a prime example of the fact: Just because you suffered, doesn't mean you learnt anything about it. Call a spade a spade, FalleN's an arse, and was bitter that Brazilian CS 7-1'd itself.

Just hope Shaiiko from Rainbow six siege would join this list one day after getting banned from pro leauge for 2 years with no evidence

Flusha not being on this list is an insult to him. I've watched hours of his gameplay before and after the accusations, no evidence ever stuck, he's just amazing at CS

Mika Daime's "god flicks" disappeared after the accusation. Riot has to step-up because it was the time where Riot recently released anti cheat update.

I remember playing MW2 and quick scoping and lasering people through walls constantly. When you play a game enough, you know where people are without seeing them.

ropz story is just the best....imagine being so good , pros call u cheater , enemy call u cheater and faceit ask u to go in London and play in front of the admins

To get called a cheater: High sense Flicks Knowing Player hotspots

Btw, after the Mika Daime incident, her flicks are gone and did not maintain her high rank at all.

Once you start getting good at a FPS, you begin automatically aiming your crosshair at head level. You also begin to figure out where your opponents are via process of elimination, and you can deduce they'll eventually come through a choke point where your crosshair already is. Sometimes people are just better skilled, more experienced, and smarter than the majority. I'm not great at FPS games, but I am a Monster Hunter fanatic. I can do a lot of tricks that may come across as "cheating" to a casual, and even some pros my raise a brow, but it's because I've put in well over a thousand hours into the series.

i love how flusha isnt here cause we STILL dont know 100%

Is Shaiiko not on this list because he’s never been 100% cleared? That would’ve made a great pointer as well!!

I was called a hacker during a ranking match in RB6 siege. The grounds for the so called “hacking” was because they were playing ranked and never lost till they played my group. Even though they were hoping out windows and doors, being spotted on cams, had terrible aiming, and being loud.

Hold on a minute i know you from somewhere. Are you the guy that do the top 10 creepy video thingies. I recognize your voice and face. Now you do it here now huh 🤠

Being called a cheater when you know your not. Probably the best feeling ever

Me: If Geguri isnt in here i'm gonna lose faith, her accusers literally said they're gonna quit their pro career If shes clean Geguri is confirmed clean Accusers: Suprised Pikachu face

Shaiiko is still the craziest story ive heard. Got banned for 2 years because he clicked too fast for a software and a guy influenced a whole community against him.

Where’s whitecat

Pro player has good crosshair placement. Some silver players: Aimbot

When you're so bad you convince yourself everybody else is cheating XD

The Mika Daime clip isn't too sus for me, as sometimes my crosshair also jumps/skips whenever I shoot, especially with guns like the guardian as when I click I sometimes move my entire hand, not only my finger so it moves my mouse

I cant tell you how many times people have called me out for cheating on siege, since I'm on console with high sensitivity people always think I'm using a mouse and keyboard which is cheating on console as it gives you a clear advantage, they've even accused me of having wall hacks (which is pretty much impossible on a ps4) because of some of the nutty wallbangs I've hit

Me clicking on this just to see if they mention Shaiiko

We all know that Flusha gotta be #1 Nvm.

Hi @theScore esports, After watching the video starting at 5:24, Mika Daime is found to be guilty of hacking. She's not Falsely accused but was a legit cheater...

its funny to include ardis if you know that sage clip where he slows and walls his own teammates off IN A PRO MATCH. hes a great player but can also have the duality of an iron. hes a gem

Dan M himself got banned for hacking. Who takes this guy seriously?

"headshotted me in the head" -Achieved a couple years ago

Does anyone have numbers on how often high level fps players with followings get accused of aimbotting vs how often they're actually aimbotting? It feels like half of these boil down to "this player was so quick with their crosshair placement people accused them of aimbotting"

Some of these feel like people assuming that women can't play games at a competitive level

I love how achieved is one of the most vocal players about beaulo and now they are basically the best team of NA

Beaulo over shaiiko? Man literally got outted just by pengus word and everyone believed it

I love how people call out pre-aiming, game sense, good crosshair placement etc call out as hacking even tho it isnt

Me and my friends got disqualified on a school R6 tournament, the reason is you know where they are coming from, we were like is that even make sense they run to the site or rush to us when we were holding angles, and they even inspected our pc is there any cheats on and they still disqualified us

That guy that accused stewie and cold probably didn’t know about crosshair placement

it's strange that i don't see anyone talking about how shaiiko literally got banned for 2 years when he didn't even use any cheats

Indians searching this list for FORSAKEN.. M

"when the people you idolized call you a cheater, it eventually takes a toll."

Flusha isn’t on this list.. y’all trying to say something?

imagine being so good they literally have to have you come play in front of them at their HQ to prove you're not cheating

maybe one of the aspect that makes pros accuse ropz cheat is because he is using 16:9 with wider fov. he can see and react to the enemy that most pros can't even see because 4:3 stretch

I have a flawless cheat detection system: if someone beats me they're cheating.

That’s one of the best videos I’ve watched in a long time, there was some real effort put into this. Good video guys keep it up 👍🔥

Watching some of Geguri's plays shown here, her tracking is great, but you see that level of tracking in a lot of OW pros, so its shocking that people thought she was cheating

Sometimes enemy might be more skilled and just better?! Good that devs are checking all of this cases to allow real talents shine!

"Nice one" *I want a good compliment* "That was a very epic game" *I said a GOOD compliment* "This guys hacking" *Perfection*

How tf is Flusha no where on this list? Lmao

Yo! Have you seen Mika Daime's new clips? Watch her stream now. It'll look like its her first time playing fps game. And she got demoted from top to bottom. Riot just won't admit that their vanguard is sh*t.

I know another person who got falsely accused, but was never proven guilty nor innocent: Teddynator Know the scaffold hack in Minecraft hacking clients? Without Teddynator, those wouldn't even exist. He's too good for Minecraft games like Bedwars or Skywars, he would have been on equal terms with Technoblade if Technoblade were still alive. The only thing he can't do is his latest building method, Andromeda Bridging, where he could only do 1 segment and loop it to look at what it would look like if he could do it repeatedly. There was also another German Minecraft Player, too good for it's time. In late 2015, fast bridging wasn't public knowledge yet, the player who found out the technique was merely bored without an internet connection for 5 days. Another group of players then claimed to be the real creators of the so-called "ninja bridging" a year prior, they used only for building and not for fights. He got banned from all the available bedwars servers. (Hypixel didn't have bedwars at the time, so he's likely to play there now) It maybe took 8 months until fast bridging was the minimum ability for every German bedwars player to possess and only took 2 weeks to master. (which was around April 2016)

3:05 "how are you able to snap to the same spot like that" *window frame is surrounded by bullet holes from where he over and under shot the window during flicks*

"And you can see here, as soon as he comes around the corner his cross hairs drag down onto the target" Gee, yeah, it's almost like he was looking for the guy and found him or something.

The mika daime drama went on and on even after riot deva claiming that she's not cheating because after she was accused of cheating she was hitting this clean headshots and after the accusations her aim was like headlevel to looking at the floor all round and bot fragging every game

This is a great video

the MikaDaime clip had me also thinking shes cheating. like there is no way someone with that crosshair placement just locks onto someone's head in less than 0.1 second. but hey i've seen some lucky stuff in the game and i might have also misjudged her by the clip.
