If you, like us, are in high ELO in Premier (8000+), you’ve probably seen your fair share of cheaters. Don’t worry, though, you’re not alone.

You really thought we were going to say “don’t worry. It’s being fixed.”, didn’t you? Sorry.

It turns out cheaters aren’t just an issue for the layperson. For every very important 200 ELO we’ve lost to a wallhacker, a pro team has lost in a qualifier for a big event.

We’d say that’s about equal.

JW was complaining - quite fairly, in our opinion - about playing against cheaters by the name of KamKom, which even sounds like a bad Chinese knock-off video game console. He not only alleges they cheated, but they also got banned.

Except - after the game with EYEBALLERS, who were already out. Which doesn’t seem very fair.

Devilwalk says the same happened to his team a year ago, and zipeL too. It’s a real issue, and one that TaZ thinks is to do with admins being afraid of making the correct decision.

If you’re still unconvinced about the cheating problem, watch these clips from Team Secret IGL Maze on a different team.

Cheaters are everywhere, and Valve - and the TOs - need to do something before it ruins the game.
