Another small thing to mention, is when players use crowd reactions at large tournaments to gather information. Like the famous example where simple on overpass was using the crowd to hear somebody in B construction, and realizing that it was unfair, made a noise to give away his position. Or the radar bug through smoke.

Not sure why actually, I think it wouldve added a good bit, sometimes i make last-minute decisions like that while editing that i regret later. If you're interested in my take, here is the cut script segment: Recently there’s been a lot of buzz about crowd cheating due to the Rio major and the crowd doing some not-so-subtle things to help the Brazilian teams. The crowd yelling and getting excited when something is about to happen is something that has happened for a long time, and is unfortunately something that is not possible to fix without eliminating an important part of LAN cs. (Rain using crowd clip) It is common now for teams from especially passionate nations to cheat for their teams (Danes, Brazillians, and Russians namely). Nobody ever really gets banned due to this, but there have been a lot of measures to try to limit it. However, I have heard Launders point out that no matter how effective noise-cancelling headphones are, the crowd causes vibration which are sent throughout the stadium, and there really isnt anything you can do to stop that without not having a crowd at all. Which would suck.
It used to be common for teams to be facing each other on stage, and some players learned that they could throw a flash into an area and look at the other players' faces to see if they lit up lmaooo
They were part of the meeting (according to the HLTV article "Teams come to agreement not to use "crouch jump""), but this was after their matches against Faze and Cloud9. But after the day when they fought C9, all players came together, ruled against the bug and noone, including BIG against SK, used it anymore.

peripherral cheats are indeed an issue. I remember there was a mouse that could be programmed with recoil patterns. And pretty much any "gaming" mouse of the last 15-20 years is able to save macros. Could be something simple like an autoclicker to get the perfect firerate from semi auto weapons, but also something more complicated like a bhop script or name macro. And they're hard to detect, especially when they're saved on the mouse itself and not as driver profile.

Well the video is about cheating in PRO CSGO, as far as we know, that bug hasn’t been used in the pro scene. That being said, I do know about that bug, hopefully it’s fixed in CS 2
What hurts to see the most is players cheating in online qualifiers, just so they could get on LAN at a tournament and have an HLTV profile to have something to show for themselves. Whilst there is no confirmed case of someone getting away with this, the amount of people attempting this is nothing to scoff at
1:35 its even more supricing when you understand just how shitty the cheat was. Like all the features were really basic and it wasnt even private cheat.
I think it’s important to mention that M0nesy showed his smoke to the tournament admins and asked if he could use it, and was told he could. That wasn’t cheating, just a bad call from admins
Should be important to note that m0nesy's one way smoke was deemed legal when he showed it to an admin. Whether that admin was aware of how it was not a regular one way smoke or not, they did allow it for use and Ilya stopped after he was told to, seems kinda unfair to include it here and deem it as "cheating" but ah well. Same goes for BIG's jump crouch bug, pretty sure they stopped using it after the pro players agreed not to; iirc they talked about it *because* BIG used the bug
There was a team using cheats to win against Bad News Eagle a few days ago, on the IEM Open Qualifier. Their coach, Krystal, did a stream showing how blatant it was, and it was indeed. Sad to see there is still a lot of cheaters out there left unaccountable.
Are you 100% sure BIG used to jump bug after it was agreed upon not to use it? I might be wrong but I remember the players meeting up after the group stage and everyone including BIG agreed not to use the bug.
You're right after the meeting BIG stopped using it. I think the meeting was after the second round of swiss and they even won their BO3 against Faze without the bug
I just looked back at the initial tweet Magisk posted of the teams meeting on 17th July 2017. Big did not attend. BIG's 3rd match of swiss on the following day (2-0) was a BO1 on Inferno again. BIG continued using the bug for the entirety of their CT side, see tabseN & LEGIJA POV. FaZe went 0-3 and did not play a BO3. @@krabbels2217
The funny thing about a cheater naming his cheat word.exe is that Microsoft Word's executable name is winword.exe. This is an artifact from the days when MS Word was made for MS-DOS... there the name was word.exe. Then they made a Windows version and gave it a distinct filename so you could have both installed at once (or maybe they were both bundled together, not sure).
I like the topic of this video, but I feel it fell too short. There's no mention of cases like Jamppi, v$m, or even S1mple's ESL ban, or the time Dosia switched accounts to play in the name of a kazakh player
I think cause it doesn't look nearly as crazy as the olofboost. The olofboost only actually broke a weird rule about enemies not being able to see you on the boost while you could see them, that was the only rule they could find actually in the rulebook to use against the olofboost. The boost LDLC used also broke that rule but wasn't as insane looking as the oiofboost
The whole olofboost thing is so stupid. The actual reason they deemed it unfair was due to a few pixel out of bounds were invisible. It becomes even more stupid when LDLC did a similar boost themselves. Fnatic found a legit advantage and out thought LDLC, but due to them complaining so much they said they had to replay the match, and Fnatic didn’t entertain it. Still the most undeserved major win in CS history
5:18 its worth noting that m0nesy asked if he could use it, and the tournament organiser gave the go ahead. The teams and the people watching were not happy though edit: very good video :D
Yeah, the admin allowing this does not change the fact that it was still cheating with the community and other players, so much so that players agreed to not use it anymore, as the administration and G2's morals failed.
This is a history of people who got caught cheating. Normally 80ish % of cheaters never get caught. You missed the aderall scandal and the workshop hack.
@@rhemisnip I can't send links here. Essentially it came out in 2015, that the whole cloud 9 team was taking Adderall to improve performance. It's still abundand in eSports. It's an open secret.
@@rhemisnipI think he is talking about the fact that lot of if not most progamers are on performance enhancing drugs like aderall in order to stay focused during the long hours of playing on tournaments.
The truth is that the whole pro scene is one big scam. Sadly only a few people have show just how bad cheating is amongst pros and streamers. Most likley the organisations (like esl and mabey even valve) are in on it because money.
idk why but i really liked the post vid outro ramble. little update, little peak behind the curtain, keeps the videos feeling organic imo. anyway great work! well edited, well written, well spoken story
if LDLC made any attempt to find the olof boost before round 28 nobody would be calling it broken cuz you can literally counter that boost with 1 player in T spawn and it takes 4 CTs 30 seconds to set it up. i'll fight anyone on this one. that boost is a once a half gimmick at best if it never got removed.
@Realninja7214 when you do something for an extended periods of time, you begin to lose dopamine and in turn, focus. adderall increases the supply of dopamine a brain can produce and makes you gain more focus and ability to maintain your highest performance for longer

aye, just wanted to say i really appreciated that flashbang transition you did, that was the sort of "thats neat" that makes you exhale through your nose slightly harder. keep it up
You forgot to mention the prevalent use of performance enhancing drugs early in the CSGO competetive scene. Nowadays it is banned, but there used to be no rules about this. Members of Cloud9 have admitted that they all used ritalin in order to perform better. They defended this that they wanted to be the best possible team and they technically did not do anything illegal (other than possibly buying the prescription drug on the black market as they are not diagnosed with ADHD).
@@Eric-vs2he that's exactly it. Helps them focus better, makes them more alert, helps them focus at peak performance longer. It's why people abuse these drugs to pull all nighters studying.
The Olaf boost didnt even utilize the bug that made it illegal. It was illegal because part of what you could see had an invisible wall allowing you to see through it, but that vision was never used or impacted the round, when the other team legitimately used the bug.
Getting a VAC ban mid-tournament is so embarassing. No way you’re coming back from that lol. Just imagine the walk of shame leaving the stage and out the building hahahah
MASSIVE footnote for the BIG jump bug, they were 100% not the only players to keep using the jump bug after the 'gentlemans agreement'. You really think that at map point with all the money and fame on the line players weren't jump peeking B long on cobble, A long on overpass? I specifically remember players on NaVi and some Brazilian players using the bug when things got hairy.
A trend I'm seeing with your videos is that they feel rushed. Like, you seem to be talking about a topic and you expand on it a little before completely dropping it and moving on. This video feels like a prime example of it. You could have doubled the length of the video by talking more about the whys and the hows of the cheats and exploits, or even showing more reactions to it, like you did with the Tarik/JasonR clip. I'm watching this video and I just feel like I don't have time to digest the info you've just given me because you've already moved on. Pace yourself and try to add more padding to whatever it is that you're talking about. I know that it might feel difficult to do so on some videos (like the Canals one) but this one shouldn't have been too difficult.
@@MontySlython this was the most basic a video could be on the history of cheats. it reads like a reddit comment more than a "comprehensive history". I thought I would learn something new, instead he just described at a surface level a few instances of cheating and moved on. He also had numerous facts wrong which is unacceptable considering how little was said in this video. I think people are so starved for cs content that anyone who makes any decently edited stuff is going to be fawned over even if the content is mediocre.
@@thankyou4328 I agree, I mean that and the editing is the entire reason thescore esports even built up any subscriber base despite being wrong nearly constantly and making extremely half baked videos, on top of spouting "insert popular opinion about esport news" . They are by far the biggest example of this phenomenon.
Grouping the olofboost in with actual cheaters and matchfixers really doesn't sit right with me man, especially considering that they unknowingly broke exactly the same rule as other teams during the tournament. People have a jaded sense of history during that time due to the massive amounts of resentment from "the community" purely because of how dominant fnatic were during that time.
I think its important to add that BIG wasnt part of the meeting because nobody asked them to join. After the discussion everyone agreed and BIG went on to beat SK on Inferno 16:14 WITHOUT the jump bug. Otherwise, nice video - keep up the good work!
KQLY was tragic, because he was incredible and succumbed to the pressures of high level play and ended up cheating to guarantee the win because he couldn't deal with the stress. Where as Forsaken was dogshit through and through.
For real the Olofboost was for me one of the most unbelievable things ever. It was clearly stated in the Tournament Rules that such thing was prohibited, yet the game was replayed when in my opinion Fnatic should've been disqualified instantly....that was just unfair und clearly unprofessional
i was honestly waiting for you to bring up cheating through taking performance enhancing substances, but sadly you didn't. cloud9 has done it and i actually believe a lot of pro players are on some kind of stimulant or performance enhancer as they aren't very strict on testing it in esports
tbh selling matches while being a low tier team is somewhat understandable for me, you still need to play a lot to get/stay on that level and youre playing basically with no reward.
a comprehensive history of caught cheaters :P many players had many flick moments and odd things happen, this can just be the game but I think there has at least been another hacker out there yet unmasked
Mannn... I was looking for the VP phone hack... but I can't find the footage, and alas - not mentioned here. Byali (I think) had his phone connected to the PC, then at some point the admins removed the phone and the WHOLE of VP looked crushed - knowing their unfair advantage is now kaput. If anyone knows where I can find that let me know - their reaction was priceless!
I’ll be honest in thinking the side smokes were an intended feature, I used it all the time and was never called out or ever heard anyone get called out.
Thank you for not including the infamous jumping kill from KQLY when talking about him cheating. Makes me cringe whenever I see it while someone is talking about him getting banned
5:50 Monesy's one way was explicitly ruled as "legal" by PGL before valve patched it. The BIG jumping-crouch bug was also ruled legal. AFAIK the "gents" agreement not to use it came AFTER it was initially used by BIG. Both instances are trashy for sure, but saying that they were deemed illegal in the video is plain not true
Seeing how not only all of the former Ibuypower players went to val and had decent careers in it but the one unbanned player from that roster won a major in CSGO. we always talk about how Swag deserved to be unbanned and how good he would be but looking back on it now I think that the scandal was the first giant setback for NA CS. North America has had it rough man

I'm watching this video and I just feel like I don't have time to digest the info you've just given me because you've already moved on. Pace yourself and try to add more padding to whatever it is that you're talking about. I know that it might feel difficult to do so on some videos (like the Canals one) but this one shouldn't have been too difficult.
I disagree
100% agree, he didn't even mention the suspicions about cheating from the online era.
@@MontySlython this was the most basic a video could be on the history of cheats. it reads like a reddit comment more than a "comprehensive history". I thought I would learn something new, instead he just described at a surface level a few instances of cheating and moved on. He also had numerous facts wrong which is unacceptable considering how little was said in this video. I think people are so starved for cs content that anyone who makes any decently edited stuff is going to be fawned over even if the content is mediocre.
@@thankyou4328 I agree, I mean that and the editing is the entire reason thescore esports even built up any subscriber base despite being wrong nearly constantly and making extremely half baked videos, on top of spouting "insert popular opinion about esport news" . They are by far the biggest example of this phenomenon.
No coverage of byali? Surface of iceberg video.
swag ruined his whole career with it. That guy had so much potential back then.
Forsaken single handed killed an entire pro scene in India. sad that it never recovered.
Probably went into a career of scam calling 😅
underrated as heck man, about 100k views is pretty good but you deserve millions
Grouping the olofboost in with actual cheaters and matchfixers really doesn't sit right with me man, especially considering that they unknowingly broke exactly the same rule as other teams during the tournament. People have a jaded sense of history during that time due to the massive amounts of resentment from "the community" purely because of how dominant fnatic were during that time.
I think its important to add that BIG wasnt part of the meeting because nobody asked them to join. After the discussion everyone agreed and BIG went on to beat SK on Inferno 16:14 WITHOUT the jump bug. Otherwise, nice video - keep up the good work!
KQLY was tragic, because he was incredible and succumbed to the pressures of high level play and ended up cheating to guarantee the win because he couldn't deal with the stress. Where as Forsaken was dogshit through and through.
kqly vac ban? really? no… really? no…. really? no…
For real the Olofboost was for me one of the most unbelievable things ever. It was clearly stated in the Tournament Rules that such thing was prohibited, yet the game was replayed when in my opinion Fnatic should've been disqualified instantly....that was just unfair und clearly unprofessional
Forsaken single handedly ruined a country's esports advancement
i was honestly waiting for you to bring up cheating through taking performance enhancing substances, but sadly you didn't. cloud9 has done it and i actually believe a lot of pro players are on some kind of stimulant or performance enhancer as they aren't very strict on testing it in esports
tbh selling matches while being a low tier team is somewhat understandable for me, you still need to play a lot to get/stay on that level and youre playing basically with no reward.
soooooo flusha and the smn cheat pocalypse are getting their own videos....right?
Valve give this man CS2 Access
remember me when you hit 5 mill bro this content is way to gas for a channel with 50k
another notable cheating moment, the clip flex banned on ESEA livestream is now known as Faze Babybay in Valorant
You’ve got that TEKKEN 4 beach music.
a comprehensive history of caught cheaters :P many players had many flick moments and odd things happen, this can just be the game but I think there has at least been another hacker out there yet unmasked
Mannn... I was looking for the VP phone hack... but I can't find the footage, and alas - not mentioned here.
Byali (I think) had his phone connected to the PC, then at some point the admins removed the phone and the WHOLE of VP looked crushed - knowing their unfair advantage is now kaput.
If anyone knows where I can find that let me know - their reaction was priceless!
bro with the tekken 4 music lets go
8:36 while Valve still kept their ban, all 4 ibuypower players were unbanned from ESL in 2017, just 2 years after the ban.
I’ll be honest in thinking the side smokes were an intended feature, I used it all the time and was never called out or ever heard anyone get called out.
you forgot about biggest cheater in world, flusha
Lets pray for less cheat in cs2 !
How did u not crack a single flusha joke
Actually there were no rules at all for the olof boost, that was the rules for 2013 dreamhack tournament, 2014 never had such rules.
Thought this was a self bio at first lol, maybe one day
that's the worst way I've ever heard someone call kqly
Thank you for not including the infamous jumping kill from KQLY when talking about him cheating. Makes me cringe whenever I see it while someone is talking about him getting banned
one ways aren't allowed in tournaments? that's crazy. I was spamming them all the time in matchmaking back in high school hahaha
5:00 small correction. The agreement only happend after BIG used it to qualify. Some other teams also used it but not as mutch as BIG
forsaken rocking 100 aimbot fov
Swear to god if you bring up the spectate coach thing I’m going to expload
You’re goated
9 years later still banned 😝
Cs2 is coming out in 6 days (21 of august 2023)
Love the videos man keep up the great quality.
I play the Royal Game, chess, where there's very little cheating.
Why did you put dev1ce and gla1ve whom are from Denmark for your “CIS player deliberately causing timeout” example?
youre telling me that for years ive been saying kookly and its cali
The player agreement for PGL wasn't until after the tournament started but BiG still didn't say they would but they did stop doing after that.
Dunno if there's actually a quote from a smart guy on this but:
For every criminal caught, there is one other at large
5:50 Monesy's one way was explicitly ruled as "legal" by PGL before valve patched it. The BIG jumping-crouch bug was also ruled legal. AFAIK the "gents" agreement not to use it came AFTER it was initially used by BIG. Both instances are trashy for sure, but saying that they were deemed illegal in the video is plain not true
This video gonna be huge
For the amount of subscribers you have, your content is honestly incredible
A player in one team that has already qualified is one of the owners of their enemies sponsor?
What could go wrong.
what a great video again from penguin
Seeing how not only all of the former Ibuypower players went to val and had decent careers in it but the one unbanned player from that roster won a major in CSGO. we always talk about how Swag deserved to be unbanned and how good he would be but looking back on it now I think that the scandal was the first giant setback for NA CS. North America has had it rough man
I really enjoy your videos man, keep up the great work!
comprehensive list, shroud and others nowhere to be seen
shout out to the most wholesome CS YT creator!
