The Biggest osu! Cheating Scandal

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.พ. 2025
- What was anticipated to be one of the most exciting osu! matches of the year quickly turned south, when a huge accusation against one of the match contestants dropped on twitter. In the early hours before the highly anticipated match would commence, a top player (badeu) would post a tweet, outlining an investigation that they and two other top players (Zylice and GRANDMASTER/na1g0) took part in. It questioned the legitimacy of one of the most celebrated players in recent time (worst hr player), and made three core points to substantiate their claims. If these claims were true, it would have big implications for the state of the game.

I got a boner from it
They really said 4 years ago "This dude is cheating, lets find proof"
Then 4 years later made up proof
ikr it's stupid
It's the equivalent of having an exam for next week yet studying the night before
@@土星猫 no seriously lmfaoo
@@土星猫don’t we all do that
you forgot to mention that their biggest proof got debunked in less than two hours by an osu! player recreating the same settings as worst hr player, replicating the exact same cursor behavior, and posting it to youtube.
add insult to the injury: it was some guy with 3 subs lmao
thank you for mentioning that he was an osu! player as that would have never crossed my mind
i talk abt it, i js didnt mention 2 hours.

if you spend 4 YEARS only to get that shitty cursor teleport google docs you need to get help
Yeah
my friend got that random cursor teleporting to the left of the screen after he got a new tablet and he is only using a laptop screen and he's 30k
im curious why they are so dedicated at this.... i mean 4 years? why man why? ur not even osu staff right

he played himself
didnt zylice:
1. rent an e girl
2. trying to make osu content based on the e girl
3. without consent
4. lied about it when confronted if hes recording her or not
5. big twitter thread
6. acts like nothing happened the next day
??? im probably thinking of another player, but iirc was zylice(so dont take my words on this 100%)

it was zylice
i made a lot of typo lmfao(fixed)

Guess the guy is still a weirdo
aryn getting his revenge
lmaoooooooo
deserved
sry i'm out of the loop, can anyone explain the aryn zylice thing pls ?
@@CXLP aryn posted video "osu is a waste of time", to which Zylice responded with his own short clip. AryN responded with "you only post this bc you made it, avg player will not". Then Zylice posted (now deleted?) video named sth like "most wholesome osu community moments", and a LOT of people sided with Zylice.
@@thatavocado_boi thank you for taking the time to answer sir :D
something i just noticed, zylice never tagged forum in his twitter post. talk about foreshadowing LMAO what a pos
Which twitter post?
cuz forum's twitter was deactivated and zylice didn't know about the burner one
As a once caught cheater, I 100% believe that this player Zylice should be banned for cheating offline as it not only supports the makers of the cheats, but also the way he used them is just a bitch way.
cheating offline is actually have no harm unless hes cheating in online
@@uruedosudroid It does tho. You pay for subscription that the makers of the cheat earn money from for wider advertising and longer-term support. Why would you just not play relax on a private server? Why must you buy a cheating software it's just as harmful as cheating online
@@dotnetphonk its peppy's job to actually mess with this, i didnt said "people **should** buy cheating software"
you can actually go search "osu timewarp" and find ton of cheats for "free"(you pay with your privacy smh)
i think you understood what i tried to meant when i wrote the first comment
@@uruedosudroidi got banned nearly 2 years ago for cheats that I had in my pc and I didn’t use them xd
i find it hilarious that “Not Like Us” was playing in the background when you were exposing Zylice for being a hypocrite. great vid 👏🏼
No way AryN was always right about Zylice ... is he the chosen one?
aryn revenge arc
Bro did 4 years of research only to backpedal IMMEDIATELY, research my a$$, its jealousy and greed. Zylice jumping on the wagon is a sad attempt at content farming and if there is a proof of him buying the cheats, ban him, dont care if he used or not, he is literally supporting the cheat devs. We cant just allow them to apologize for trying to ruin someones "career", people WILL abuse that. Ban them ALL.
jealousy and greed, yeah we can't let people abuse their power like this. I say get him banned!
Banning for cheats they didn't use for cheating is stupid
@@Hinodei Lmao that's like saying people that just buy drugs are fine, trash take. Unless you want to develop an anticheat, you have no reason to own cheats.
@@UltraProchy Even stupider take
its like banning someone from a sport for using performance enhancing drugs because they tested steroids on a pet mouse.
Why do they ban people from using performance enhancing drugs? Because they give an unfair advantage? Does owning give an unfair advantage? No. does using? Yes.
It follows that ownership shouldn't matter, only use.
Also buying drugs to test whats in them isnt bad, unlike using.
What makes drugs bad huh? Side effects and addiction. If you dont take the drug then the danger isnt there.
If you think "its bad because blank is harmful so its bad in every situation" then your living your life on autopilot not thinking for yourself or caring about nuance

Good news: Forum did NOT cheat on his wife and is NOT the father
Good news: Forum is the wife 😮😮😮
6:17 Zylice doesnt feel ashamed of saying continue to livestream his entire career after ruining someone's career??? He doesnt deserve to have this osu thing career after all these bs
i really hope zylice get the repercussion he deserved
laughing at all NAT or GMT's that took down all Filipino Maple maps, including mine, imagine caring more about a beatmap than a group of players witch hunting xdd, good video !
yeah they're cringe, thanks!
Bro pulled out the Not Like Us instrumental just to shit on Zylice ☠️
Zylice: spreading positivity in osu community video
And they said that video is gone private too.
It's Zylover...
thank god
that cursor bug happened to me when i accidentaly forgot that 2 hdmi cables were connected to my pc even though i had only 1 monitor, it took me a month to realize what it is
bruh im tweaking i thought u were talking about worst hr player and suddenly someone called forum came out. i forgot worst hr player was forum
not like us playing during the zylice sentence this man is a special grade HATER
No matter when you read this
Zylies has never FCd Cold Green Eyes.
I think Grandmaster and other people who were involved in this investigation into this should be banned from participating in any future tournaments and the online leaderboards.
The whole thing about the cursor jumping, that happens to me a lot with my wacom. It's because I lift up my stylus to re-position my hand on the wacom, and then usually the cursor is in a different spot. Makes no sense
im surprised zylice was a part of this, i remember being in his stream a year ago or so and he said something about him knowing people who hacusate worst hr player but he at the time was acting like he def wasn't agreeing 💀
nah aryn going on his revenge arc now
Teleporting the cursor does not prove that the player is using third-party programs or cheats, this is explained by the fact that when you understand the pen until the tablet detects it and then suddenly moves closer
And then you sharply bring the pen closer to the tablet only in another place (further than the bridge from where you picked up the pen) and your cursor teleports TADA no magic
YOU WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG!!!!
Don't know if u saw the osugame reddit but Mrekk actually got silenced for releasing Fillipino Maple. Wow 😂😭
This pretty sums up the video by the most overused iconic quote "they hated Aryn because he spoke the truth"
and here I am getting banned for setting 200pp play with 100 hours, then getting my emails ignored, recording a live play in the same day doing the same map, ignored again and those fucking top players have all the privilege in the world
this staff is a joke
This whole thing is stupid chronically online osu players will always amaze me
The only time "he's improving too quickly" would work is if a player got 10% on a map and then got 100% with hr and double time right after
Also using cheat software to prove someone's cheating is like burning someone's forehead to prove they have a fever
completely deserved, all bad people get outed eventually, hopefully this can clear up your reputation a little bit aswell, great vid as always
bro that's so pathetic he was on some bullshit case for 4 years trynna find proof for someone cheating but just ended up making shit up, 4 YEARS MAN seriously get a life😭
"the imporving too fast is cheating" line is complete bs i have friends with 100hours that are ranked 500,000 and can barely do 4 stars i have 40 hours, i started on 3 stars, went to 5 stars in 2 months and am ranked 100,000 difference is i have more hours in tactical shooters than them and aiming in osu isnt much different to aiming at someones head. its not a good argument at all.
Semi-old player who was active 2014-2018 here.
I am glad that this community has long moved past its era where cheating accusations were thrown around like it's candy and that people generally take this kida stuff more seriously now. I am also glad that people are generally more relaxed and don't try to witch hunt players, desparately combing for cheaters anymore. I for one remember a slightly clickbaity video a few years back called "The biggest problem in osu", and its thesis was essentially "it's the cheaters and people just ignore them". Super cringy stuff, seeing as I believe this was either during or just after the era I am referring to, and that you hinted at in the video.
I am of the opinion that cheating accusations need to be taken very seriously, and any false ones need to be debunked ASAP. I also do believe that the ones making ultimately false accusations need to be called out and take accountability. This however, is where my contention with this video starts.
Holding people accountable is very important, but much like cheating evidence, you also need to be very careful with this kind of stuff. I believe that the way this video tries to hold the accusers to account is very careless and much more vindictive than it really needs to be. The way that the 2nd half of the video plays out really feels more like a hit piece than a documentation of events. Do the investigators deserve to be criticized? Yes. Do they deserve to have this incident held over their heads for the rest of their lives? Well, if they already learned their lesson, then no. This video actually does document some evidence of them learning their lessons. You may not like their way of wording their apologies, but as far as I can tell, they know they screwed up. Ultimately, this is also a conflict between worst hr player and them, not the community at large. The only one who really deserves an apology is worst hr player, not the community. As such, it is not up to the community or content creators to keep any of this conflict going. This only leads to more shitflinging and public drama, which will hurt the mental health of the investigators further, a punishment that I do not believe fits the crime.
It even goes as far as making some seriously outrageous and harmful claims. At 7:38 you say you believe that the three investigators "purposely put [the report] out in order to ruin [worst hr player]'s mental in preparation for the grand finals". This claim was not substantiated much, if at all. Much like how you need high-quality evidence to conclude someone is cheating, this claim of malice on the part of the investigators also needs high-quality evidence, which much like in the investigation, is very lacking in this case. Why should I take your word on it?
My interpretation of the whole situation is closer to a cautionary tale than anything else. I believe the investigators were genuinely suspicious of worst hr player's scores, and looked into them for weird details as such. They may have found weird details in his scores and added them to the evidence pile, but forgotten to check for if any of it was high-quality or if they had other explanations. From there it may have simply snowballed, and as fallable humans, they may have lost their sense of critical thinking, letting emotions and social pressure take hold. In regards to this video, Hanlon's and Occam's razors apply. You mention a discord server. Was their original intent to destroy worst hr player through this server and were celebrating his downfall because they thought they would get away with falsely accusing someone of cheating? Or is it more likely that they just made a discord server to compile evidence and it accidentally became an echo chamber over time? Did they really accuse worst hr player of cheating to ruin his career? Or did they, once again, genuinely believe they had high quality evidence and that they had come to the conclusion beyond reasonable doubt?
Drama content is very fun and the strongest human emotion that there is is rage. It is also fun to see people experience karma. There is no denying this. What you really should be careful about is letting "exposing" someone get to your head. You should be careful about what unintentional harm you yourself may be causing. The community does not need to continue any dogpiling on anyone. Both parties in the conflict and the community around it need to heal and move forward.
I will end this essay with something I told someone I suspected of cheating Touhou scores recently. I later cleared this person of any cheating, because I could not conclude beyond reasonable doubt they cheated:
"I do not care to expose anyone. I care only about the cold hard facts.
"exposing" someone is not very far away from cancelling someone. cancel culture is a bad thing and I wish to avoid this as best I can.
if any of this leads to even the slightest dogpile, then I have fundamentally failed.
you have a fundamental right to explain yourself."
Gyat my man wrote a thesis I ain’t readin all that
i didnt expect that “rabbit hole” part turned to be an osu score
how embarrassing for these guys, great video tho, feels good to be on your side again aryn
Bro this is like the spaceuk exposal
Absolutely not?????
@@valenxizaw245 ok ig
you just gotta feel bad for forum, wish him the best and hopefully he continues to enjoy the game despite this.
tbh Zylice should probably private his accounts and possibly not stream anymore because after pulling that stunt i couldn't imagine the amount of backlash he'd get from the community. it just sucks cuz he seemed like a cool guy that just got roped into an ugly situation. hopefully he will recover from this.
nah fuck that guy, very quick to ruin someone's career (trying to get worst hr player banned), he should get no sympathy.
He was never a good guy, always a crybaby asshole acting like hes a wholesome chungus but hes a superficial trash
@@arynosutrue and real, guy's a PoS through and through, fake ass posturing shithead trying to garner attention to further his career, mid ahh content creator, together with his also fake asf internet friends like mr kieg. I really am praying together with you on their entire group fallout and downfall ngl
fuck him lmao, i hope he don't recover from all this.
zylice is a clown fr
I hate when i see someone get jealous over something like skill. Like, it's my entire reason why I am as good as I am. I love watching people better than me because it really motivates me to be greater than them.
The fact that people are just realising that people who don't go outside are toxic is laughable to me. I remember being Top 50k back in 2016 (nothing impressive I know, I let the game go and am a 6 digit now) and people being toxic was all over the place. Peppy and osu! mods are pretty toxic too, if not the worst perpetuators.
Trying to get into osu! again and my gosh it just seems not worth it. Thanks for reminding me why I left.
the only good thing about the doc is that it ended up creating one of the coldest owc intros in owc history
If cookiezi got banned for ‘cheating’ i think zylice should too. Its only fair, its why they banned back then
Will preface this by saying I personally do not having any stakes in this beyond personally preferring any sort of discourse having all information available to discuss. This isn't meant to defend or condemn any players in specific but simply to make anyone watching in future aware and able to come to their own conclusions.
To add further context here since this video has come out:
Zylice created a doc where in he does publicly address the situation, in it, he makes a few statements.
- He claims to have had no involvement in the writing of the doc or the timing of its release
- He claims to have only been involved specifically to test the maple cheat, as no one else in the group was willing to buy it or publicly use it, (basically claiming he was not a lead contributor like grandmaster or badeu, but rather of similar levels of involvement as a player like yip)
- He claims he was confident that he wouldn't be banned for the use of maple because there is a precedent set in the past, where Tournaments have been able to publicly utilize replay submitters for the sake of showcases. He states that using the cheat offline for utility purposes such as this has long been considered perfectly fine, and consider the example video that was used to be in the doc to be for utility purposes only, not for cheating purposes.
finally, he states that the takedown of the positive osu community video is purely temporary, since it was used a conduit for people to spread negative comments about the drama, which goes against what the video is about. (will interject with a little bit of my own opinion for the first time here and just say I do actually agree with this, because imo I don't mix art and artist and I think the video still stands by its merits; it would also be a *really* bad look for the osu community if the one video talking about how its actually really positive was swarmed with hate comments)
There are maps that I have had a 20 miss count improvement in a couple months, does that mean I am cheating?
the fact that top players have such huge egos they will pray on other players downfall this much just to get slapped with a reality check is both hilarious and sad, man osu community is actually so toxic when things like these happens
wow actually good AryN video wtf, he be making a comeback with this one?!?!?
AryN out with yet another banger he just can’t miss
my goat aryn on top never doubted you for a second
skill spikes can easily be explained by graduating, being between jobs, a breakup, anything that suddenly gives you more hours to practice. not an osu! player but didn't succeed in my game of choice until i got sober. are players going to have to disclose their entire personal lives to stop getting hassled lol
Just bc someone ten times better than u does not mean you should file out a whole meaningless discord party to get them banned..
Once you open badeu's profile you see 27 'lost first place' in span of 4 days 🤣
Not even a cheating scandal.
And even if that would be so - it wouldn't be the biggest by a longshot.
"We've been investigating for 4 years" if you actually spent 4 whole years trying to expose 1 player your the biggest loser even if they are cheating
dude. im so happy, u finaly spoke out for aimbotcone and zilice. just a mental revenge after "osu is a waste of time".
The guy going on about how much respect he had for the community and how offended he was at you shitting on it shat on the community by cheating
What a joke
right i ain’t been in the community very long but throughout most of the other games i’ve played i don’t think i’ve seen something as disgusting and scandalous as this some ppl need to grow tf up
don't wanna sound evil, but i'm glad you got a chance to have sorta revenge on zylice
The community has fell off hard...
not like us instrumental on background is wild
btw i JUST recreated the off screen cursor weird ass bug by just... dragging my pen outside my tablet......... then back in.......
Their "pride" got hurt when someone better appeared. I'm dissapointed, very dissapointed.
Why is the community so weird about this? In every other game, using “cheats” offline for the purpose of documentation, research, or experimentation is completely fine because you’re not impacting anyone but yourself. It’s actually the only ways you can really learn to find cheaters is by understanding the cheating tools that they use and how it looks when they’re being used. Do people just really hate this Zylice guy? Or is this a sentiment held by the majority of the community?
people who have used cheats offline in the way zylice did have been banned before for a prolonged period of time. As you mention cheats are basically the only way to find other cheats. There are replay analyser's to see whether cheats have been used or not. Them making up some random excuse to use cheats when it was clearly a replicable tablet bug doesn't make any sense to use it in the first place. nlike the others Zylice was able to continue playing the game legitimately as an already established and trusted figure in the community.
I improved from 3,5* maps to 6-7* maps in 1,5 months after I stopped smoked zaza and started playing osu daily
people who are the loudest about their morals often have the worst actions when given the chance
How did anyone think that document was unironically good proof 💀
the first thing i thought of when seeing this drama was that zylice was in a witch hunting group after clowning on you for not thinking this community is great lmfao talk about hypocrisy
Bro put Kendrick music in the background… You must really be happy about that Zylice shit 😂
What if forum is actually cookiezi and it is fia situation
the cursor thing happens to me it happens when u take ur pen out of ur area then when you put it back it in glitches out a bit
there is NO RULE in osu! that states that if you cheat offline you should be banned.
obv zylice is in the wrong here, but the fact he's not getting banned is okay.
"Fuck this guy is too good, how about we spend 4 years to compile some flimsy evidence that was probably made in 37 seconds and upload that to the public. Seems like a good idea."
I think people are misunderstanding the whole 4 years thing, they said in the document that GRANDMASTER tipped them something dating 4 years back that led them down a "deep rabbit hole" so I doubt these idiots spent more than like 12 minutes on the whole document, no wonder it got debunked in like two hours.
forum proceeded to get first s-rank and almost fc on sunny side beach in 7 years as part of the badeu snipe arc
can't help but admire the sheer level of spite behind "ok, now that everyone's clowned on you for your hackusations, i'm gonna be casually setting one of the most brutal aim plays of all time just because fuck your #1 score"
the only way zylice gets banned is if he uses it on bancho cause maple is detected rn
i for one have never liked zylice and felt he was quite fake and egotistical, even when he released the beauty of the osu community video i felt like he was clout chasing and white knighting. finally i have a valid reason to hate on this clown
I'm not really involved with the osu community, but I like watching this channel from time to time, and damn from the videos, I can tell this community sure does look friendly and positive.
this is best community i have ever seen, it's just whenever something happens people make a big deal out of it
@@SixDigitOsu If you say so. Maybe it's just this channel that focuses a lot on dramas so that's why I don't really hear a lot of positive stuff about the osu community
@@ItsCakes7 yeah this guy likes to make negative videos a LOT
can't blame him tho, since it brings views
I'm not part of the osu community or anything but I cant pass up on a good cheater exposal video
no one cheated tho
osu try not to have drama impossible challenge
to think that top players get this privileged status and not receiving punishments for things a "low rank" / casual would receive just baffles me. staff has always and will always be corrupt, no matter what. ggwp ig?
Yeah we got to make a point to the staff, shit is too corrupt nowadays. Maybe one day they'll change.
What the hell did I just watched? FOUR YEARS. all that time I was having a life while these no lives did everything to try and break someone down and it work sadly. Thankfully these people were exposed to be pieces of shit and I wish worst hr player the best, even though I don't look at osu! standard content as much because I'm a mania player. But still none of this should've happened at all and very disappointing to see.
if zylice doesnt get banned, then all hope is gone. the system is ruled by the top players. fuck this shit.
worst hr player isn't a cheater, he's just korean. case closed
Bad time having Badeu and Forum as your favorite players
Off topic from the video, but i watched like 50% through originally then thought
"Wait, haven't i heard this script before?"
Only to realize that i watched this video YESTERDAY
damn i thought jay would also get exposed for all the shit he did behind the scenes in the degens group.
I play gd not osu so why did I watch this lol. Anyways funny how this has happened in gd as well. False hacking accusations ruin it for everyone. We had our biggest hacker ever go hacking one more year than he should’ve because the one true accusation with proper evidence against him got drowned out in a sea of false accusations with baseless proof. A shame how the dude got his chance for a win at the tournament ruined due to it ,hope he wins his next one man.
i don’t play osu whatsoever, but my absolute best guess is the cursor bug coming from the pad he’s using to play 🤷♂️
