Professional Cheaters: A History
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ค. 2021
- Hello British discount internet historian here! Are you tired of loosing in overwatch? Perhaps you want to set a new hardcore minecraft speedrun but you dont have a spare 300 hours to get perfect odds well then why not cheat? What about hacking the games files to modify the drop rates of items. What about screen cheating on the worlds stage of an esports tournament or heck what about stealing ingame houses and selling them for profit on Ebay. Anything is possible in the world of professional cheaters who can steal and break any game in existence for their advantage. So discover the fun dubious cheating stories of the fortnite pro who cheated their ways into the world championships and $50k, the dubious story of Dream the accidental Minecraft speedrun hacker and even an incredible league of legends cheat that resulted in the largest screen cheating bust.
So sit back and watch as the spiffing brit does a deep dive into the fantastic world history of professional cheaters and how they print infinite money by exploiting game advantages for themselves!
What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold and infinite money all in a fantastic montage. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.

Title: The History Of Professional Cheaters - Video Game Cheats Are Perfectly Balanced With No Exploits - เกม
Talks about dream cheating and doesn’t get dislike bombed. That’s how you know only intellectuals watch the Spiffingbrit
Spiff just countered it with negative dislikes
Just wait until they figured out
"That’s how you know only intellectuals watch..."
I'll let myself out then...
Hi
Don't worry, they will be here soon. they are like the sand people. they are easily scared, but they will be back, and in greater numbers.
I've always had a rule. Beat the game legitimately first. After that, it's a wonderful sandbox full of cheats and exploits in the name of continuing replayability that I bend to whatever diabolical whims I desire.😈
The rule is single player do what ever makes you happy. Once you join multiple don’t cheat just be bad like everyone else!
Just like real life... Wait, what?
Nothing embodies this like GTA online. Got everything on PS4 legit, switched to xbox one and have glitched tens of millions and am still going.
@@larryjohnson3087 Absolutely. I love rpg's and racing games. Fair is the name of the game in multiplayer for both. I can't say everyone is just as honorable though.
I still use that rule for my games today. Beat them first. Dump shiiii tons of mods and cheats after 😎
Imagine using mods to make the hardest part of a speed-run, that you’ve done successfully hundreds of times, extremely easy…. and then only getting 5th.
Well its not the hardest part at all its just rng and its actually possible to get the drop rates he had but he messed up and had those good drop rates way to consistently therefore making it statistically impossible from his actual speed run alone its impossible to say if he cheated but he messed up by streaming or uploading (dont remember) multiple attempts
@@nebei3740 POV: Dream stan trying to say Dream didn't cheat
@@crocsarethepurestformofwea3122 to be fair, I don't particularly think he did chest on purpose.
I mean you go through the effort to hiring someone to do math, defend yourself vigorously in the public, lash out at others and also make multiple videos denying such cheating.
That's not really something actual cheaters do.
I mean, I've seen them. Cheaters tend to just shut up and let it go under the rug.
This is the internet, people tend to forget shit after a week.
@@eaglestrike6408 POV: Another Dream stan defending Dream cheating
@@crocsarethepurestformofwea3122 personally, I think attacking me as a person is a poor rebuttal.
I also don't watch Dream anyway so, it doesn't apply to me.
Should watch Karl Jobst's video on it, it is quite fascinating.
I just love how you say super casually and plainly that Dream cheated like a total Giga Chad. And that is another reason why I subscribed.
@@chaoslordnicky9723 dream also said himself that he cheated and told people that they should "get over it"
little Beta lured
@@Zenoferrum they never do. Nobody does on either end of it.
@@Zenoferrum yeah, I remember going back to a lot of the videos covering the situation like 3 months after it they were made, and have been somewhat defending him since. He did cheat, but he didn’t notice because for all/most of his manhunts and such use the modified drops. People wanted to pounce on him immediately after he did it (for good reason) but didn’t actually listen to what he had to say until he gave more of the truth. He was dealt a bad hand and he should have been trusted a bit more
@@whyiwakeup6460 no he shouldn't faking his manhunt drops is fine, using those same drop rate mods in official runs, claiming it to be legitimate for months and allowing his toxic fanbase to defend him by any means only to say he did actually cheat and brush it off as nothing is not only completely disrespectful to the speedrunning mod team and their time (which went through serious drama due to alot of them knowing dream) but also to other speedrunners who get faster times than him without needing mods. Dream deserves to be banned and isn't for the sole reason of his amount of clout and his fanbase who isn't shy of sending death threats and doxxing people. Anyone else who tried doing what he did would've been banned on the spot otherwise.
I don't cheat, I just inject Yorkshire Tea into my computer and I automatically win.

Riot: "lets make it super easy for pro players to cheat in front of a live audience"
Also Riot: "Whaaaaa? They cheated? How dare they! Lets punish them and not fix how they were able to cheat"
I feel like they did that on purpose to troll people
Let's put the jumbo-tron where it faces one team only, and then blame them for looking at it. What do you mean; "We're the idiots.?"
They probably did that so they could remove winnings from the game when they want.
Why the fuck don't they switch the giant ass screen around, so the opponent is looking at their own screen when they glance up? Having to turn and look up behind you is a way more of a cheater move, and is more noticeable than just lifting your eyes to see everything

@@pinkyuri5 No, even Casual and unranked is reeking with sweat, salt, and rage for the smallest shit.

I remember when the whole Dream cheating scandal was going down. So many videos from different people doing the maths and showing just how ridiculous the odds were for the drop rates he had (Something like 1 in 7.5 trillion). For weeks he was just denying it, even released his own video trying to "debunk" the original claim he was cheating.
It was a time to be sure
Still don't know how people actually supported him during that
Oh, that debunking video. Apparently the document had numerous errors, that even r/statistics basically tore it to the ground in ways that I could only laugh. That video is no longer available, but the aftermath of people basically stating the errors that were present made my day because I don't expect this stuff to reach this far.
Dream did eventually confess to the cheating, saying it was an accident. I don't know if I believe him, because I know nothing about what he is talking about with client-side and server-side mods, and his wording continues to impress me with how he confuses even my dumb ass. That being said, feel free to decide whether you believe it or not. I personally don't care about the situation as much as his fans did, but more power to them, I guess.
@@thatrandonamedrandy it's impossible for anything to run without him giving it the ok, and even if it was an accident it's still his responsibility to make sure no mods or anything that could tamper with the run are disabled beforehand
@@sword_racer185 Yes, when you are partaking in competition, it is YOUR responsibility to make sure that you are running the vanilla game without any potential mods that could increase luck, but as I said, the apology was weirdly confusing of a read for me. Again, it's because I am stupid and don't understand Minecraft modding enough to say for certain on the idea that it was an accident.
I'm sticking with the neutral, still. Even if it was an accident, it won't change my thoughts, though, because in competition, as you said, you always want to ensure that your game's not been modded to give yourself the advantage. Fact of the matter is, Dream had every opportunity to check his mods folder even BEFORE the streams occured, so the fact that he didn't bother to check is confusing, but then again, I guess reflexes can also be attributed to this, where he automatically assumed that the mod wasn't active or installed. I don't know, I might be busting my own 2 brain cells apart from this.
TLDR; yea, I agree with you, but I am still confused because of my low understanding of most of this.
@@thatrandonamedrandy essentially when you boot up minecraft your taken to a launcher and you can select which version you want to play, modded versions will always come up as forge or fabric as you need either forge or fabric to run mods on minecraft. ive read his apology and watched his video. all i have to say is that dream is full of BS. im not hating to hate either, i gave dream a fair shake for a long time but when he rolled out his apology statement and how it was an accident it instantly screamed lies, the way dream is saying it is the same as alec baldwin saying that the gun fired on its own
No one ever cheated...

@@SmokeSAS LTG, stop switching accounts. We know its you.
Standupmaths did a video on the odds of it being legit and (im paraphrasing) "if every single human played minecraft every single second of every single day for the entire history of humanity, it would happen exactly once"
I recommend the video from Karl Jobst
Oh god lads get ready for the bombardment of rage from Dream stans the second they find out someone said Dream cheated
@@balexbalex815 Nah they know he cheated cause he came out a bit ago and said that there was a mod that could've changed the rates slightly but they are now defending his actions. Look I like his Manhunts and stuff. They are entertaining but if he cheated then he cheated
@@Justacidity personally I don’t think he intentionally cheated like he said but he also tried to cover it up and acted like a tool which makes him a loser
No he said it's still magnitudes off (3 magnitudes off)
With the dream thing: its also important to note that dream was claiming that his mods somehow stayed on, even after switching off of the modded profile. He claimed the mods somehow had edited the base game files...
Impossible on so many levels to the point its painful. Yet people still accepted it as a legitimate reason. The chances of that are lower than him legitimately getting those droprates.
Actually turning off the modded profile wouldn't help because you don't need mods to change the drop rate. Just a zip file with text files in it in your world's datapack folder. You remove the file to turn it off, not restart the game with a non-modded version of minecraft. Changing loot tables has been a vanilla feature since 1.9 (2015).
Dream just doesn't understand what mods are. He thought vanilla customization options were mods.
@@WildBluntHickok Still, datapacks have to be added to that specific world's files, you cant make a new world and it just shows up, which is what he claimed.
Still not possible, and he failed trying to lie his way out of it
From his behavior, he's most likely acting in a way to save as much fans as possible from unsubbing to his channel, he knows how people think and act, especially younger peeps. I recall that he "bragged" or stated that he knew that he was gonna be famous, so yeah he probably purposely cheated.
You realise he probobly has thrown out 100s of runs because he wasnt lucky enough.
@@jerryteel5682 every speedrunner resets hundreds of times due to RNG. Weird how none have ever before or since seen the luck that Dream got.
cheating is ok in a singleplayer setting or in a game that is incredibly unfair and requires microtransactions to have fun

I remember doing the / glitch in siege
Its an online fps game that is coming up on being 8 years old. I would be shocked if the people in it didn't cheat constantly. Although I find the word cheat kinda stretching what people are doing.
@@Kalmaggedon If they kept it in their own lobbies, that would be fine. The problem is, you seldom can join a cheater-free public lobby these days. This may not be a PvP game, but it's still a co-op game. If one can carry like half of Fort Knox on their shoulders while running across the map with infinite HP while spawning in minigun turrets just to fuck your shit up, that ain't fair.
@@toko099o Fair point.
It is not the fact that there are cheaters in an online game that grinds my gears, it's how prevalent they are. Barely anyone plays loud missions on the highest difficulty nowadays, and most lobbies have some form of cheating (edited stats and/or achievements, cheat mods, trainers and paid third-party software). Really sours the experience.

Ok, don't ask why I said that, I felt like saying it for fun.
There was an “exploit” story on a Russian competitive Dota2 scene. In 2013, during one of the tournaments, a player by the nickname “Solo” bet 100$ against his team and did everything he could to make his team lose. And so they did. He basically thought that that game didn’t mean anything in terms of their points, so he took an opportunity to make some cash.
However his deed was found out and he was banned for life from all Valve tournaments.
This whole situation spawned a meme “322”, because he won 322$ from his bet.
He wasn’t banned for life by Valve, he was banned from Starladder for a period. He is still a pro player
People going the length to get esports recognized as actual sports and then think fixing bets isn't a big deal
*talks about Dream for 4 and a half minutes
4:34 "lets talk about actual professionals instead"
LOL sick burn XD
The only time I've ever "cheat" in a game is when playing a single player game just to try out some crazy stuff or a game in private lobbies with friends just to dick around with each other for the heck of it
The best cheaters
Gmod and Minecraft are the best examples of this imo
Man, there's so much more history of cheaters you could go into, all the way back to arcade gaming days.
I don't think he wants to get sued by Billy Mitchell.
@@callmeriggy True, have to worry about whiny little losers who lied and cheated coming to sue you if you want to talk about the real facts of what happened.
Billy Mitchell and Todd Rogers are legendary cheaters at this point. How long they have tried to deny it, 30+ years?
Ah yes, this reminds me of professional players casually "charging their phones" on tournaments which is also a clear sign that they are definitely not cheating...
Right? It's like these esport organizations don't understand that plugging your phone into the computer means you can run code stored on the phone lol
Why are esport organizers THIS stupid? If I even had my phone on me at an exam at Uni, I'd be immediately disqualified. It's like cheating 101.
Alright, you peaked my interest, please explain this.
@@thatrandonamedrandy I want to know too
@@thatrandonamedrandy my best guess is they connect their phone to their computer in order to charge it, but their phone has a program on it that injects cheats into the game
Imagine having your cool little house from Ultima stolen from you just to turn around and see the guy who took your land create a full-time business meant to help gaming companies prevent cheaters from doing exactly what he did all with the money stolen from you without any repercussions at all

I hate Blizzard because of their mod policy. Basically when you mod a Blizzard game, they own all your ideas and are free to steal them. (I think they're mad they don't own DOTA.)
Blizzard is a joke, I don't touch anything associated with their name.
They're big mad that they don't own DOTA. They even tried to make their own that flopped.

I find it amusing that he managed to get away with claiming a time on Atari Dragster that was so good, it can't even be reached with a TAS. You'd think he'd at least try to be a little subtle.
@@heartbeat4atinman Your comment makes no sense in historical context. The real issue has nothing to do with TAS (which wasn't a thing then), but that it is a literal impossibility CODE-wise. The time he claimed wasn't outrageous in that it was extraordinarily faster than the actual record, hence why he wasn't the only one who claimed this time, and why it went uncontested for so long. The man is as subtle as a brick, but more in regard to his stories about obtaining the record (they made no sense).
@@Vykk_Draygo it was brought up because the time he got is literally impossible. This applies to several of his records.
@@Vykk_Draygo dude was not subtle at all, look at lot of his fake record even for points record, game that increase in increment of five has 2 or 3 points at the end, some that increase in increment of 50 has a 30 at the end or something like that, if you want to be subtle you do not make that kind of very obvious mistake, only reason he got away is because himand billy who were both moderator of the website helped each other in their cheating
Well, all of them wouldn't need to cheat, if they just drank Yorkshire Gold Tea
They would WANT to cheat. I mean, look at Spiff. He has built his career in circumventing the rules
I have to admit, when I saw the title, I was expecting you to touch on Runescape's 'Falador Massacre' from '06. Great video as always!
Spiff, there has always been a raid lockout in WoW. You had to wait 7 days to do a raid again. The issue was that, they skipped a bunch of challenging fights to get straight to C'thun. They literally only had to fight the first and last bosses.
But all the bosses drop valueable loot wouldnt that had not been as helpful to skip 8 whole mini bosses
@@chaoslordnicky9723 C'thun dropped higher ilevel loot then the rest of the raid, some of it comparable or equal to Naxx 40 ilevels. I think they did the skip when Naxx was live, and they didn't feel like clearing an entire very long raid just for loot from a single boss.
Was hoping for Spiff to mention Riolu who was one of the top Trackmania players in the world. Turns out he played the game in slow motion and fell from grace harder than the devil himself.
Still find it funny that Dream refused to hand the speedrun board mods his mod folder for weeks, until he deleted everything that proved he cheated out of it. Also his fans sent people death threats for believing he cheated, but immediately switched to “oh we all make mistakes, it’s not his fault” as soon as he confirmed he cheated.
Edit made a mistake: Dream didn’t hand over his mod folder, but if I remember correctly he made his “mod folder” open to the public in his apology video. This “mod folder” I believe had things removed, but I’m not entirely sure.
Dream does not seem to understand what a stan is, since he is positive to people being way too obsessed with him.
Slight correction because i care about details: He did not refuse to send his mod folder and then after a few weeks send it after deleting the incriminating details, he never sent his mod folder to the mods at all because he said he had deleted it.
@@pzyqux6641 ummm. The mods never asked for it when they first asked for some files. It wasn't until the mods asked again, specifically asking for the mod folder, that dream told them he deleted it
@@pzyqux6641 That's because mods didn't want his mod folder when he offered. And even if he did send it, what would it prove? He could easily send other mod folder than the one he was using and claim that's the one.

My personal favourite cheating story was from the DOOM community. In classic DOOM games, there is a challenge called the Iron Man, wherein players are made to play through what are essentially fangames made in the DOOM engine and whoever makes it the longest wins.
One player was a consistent winner, regularly making it to the end of these games. However, looking at his demos (a feature in classic DOOM that records the player inputs and RNG so that they can be played back using DOOM itself), they didn't seem like the demos a DOOM god capable of clearing through entire WADs in one go would make, and some of his demos seemed like they were made by someone who had definitely played that game before. ZeroMaster, a DOOM player who has completed several challenges once thought to be wholly impossible, called the cheater out on this.
The cheater's response was to accuse ZeroMaster of jealousy, actively tefuse to address any of ZeroMaster's points, and his writing style swung between Shakespeare and Twitter.
I like this video. It doesn't pull any punches when describing how truly unfair to any fair and competitive players these situations are.
I would like more videos if you find more cheaters on a professional scale.
I'm really enjoying these minor history lessons, Spif!
OH NO HE'S ANGERED THE DREAM STANS RIGHT OFF THE BAT
Except they somehow haven't seen the video
Mmmmm the good old Star Wars Battlefron on the ps splitscreen
SPIFF: "Including Final Fantasy 11..."
*Shows final fantasy 14*
Love you man.
Let’s gooo history time with spiffing Brit! (*Relevant history time)
I think my fav cheating moment was forsaken trying to delete his hacks live on stage during a CSGO tournament as admins are trying to check his computer
I was wondering why this one didn't make it on the list...
**bats away refs hand**
No.
15 minutes exactly? Aesthetically pleasing.
“LoL, a game for the saltiest beings on the planet to enjoy.” One of the most accurate descriptions of this game I’ve ever heard. XD
i love this kind of videos spiff, excelent work, thank you
11:18 "including Final Fantasy eleven" *shows FF14*
came here searching for this comment 😂
@@linceaerian Glad that I wasn't the only one.
But FF11 IS FF14...Are you guys daft?
It only became FF14 in like 2010 when Realm Reborn revamped the game.
@@belisarius6949 Nope, you are mistaken. FF11 still exists and receives regular content. It did not become FF14.
@@belisarius6949 :O Didn't know about FF11 being a MMO, hence the joke by @The Sipffing Brit, 14 being similar to 11... It was "rebranded" before 2010 thought, the original version that was reworked into "A realm reborn" was already tagged FF14
All hail Lord Spiff of House Yorkshire tea, breaker of games, developers pain, may he forever reign.
I've been dealing with "screen hoppers" since Super Mario Kart on the SNES, and later in GoldenEye64. To paraphrase Jesus-allegory Lion - "Do not speak of the deep magic to me, wizard. I was there when it was written".
I feel educated in the history of cheating. Thank you, Sir Spiff.
Hmm, maybe a sequel to this video on irl cheaters? My man Tigran "Pipi in your pampers" Petrosyan should have a spot
The last one reminds me of Runescape and Deadman mode tournaments. Clans had mules to give gear and supplies to their best players, killed all the other players and died so that only the marked players remained alive.
I think they got disqualified in the end, but it was still a bad day for normal players out there. Well, that and people being randomly teleported to instakill zones.
Watching Welyn deal with cheaters in Rust is always such a delight.
Some days ago I tried yorkshire tea for the first time, it was quite good
Just rang that bell, this is my first time tuning into a premiere (if you can call it that). Keep up the good work, you’ve got one of those rare gaming channels that’s actually special.
1:09 You know, I am fully willing to believe this is truthful and not just a joke knowing how things are over the Atlantic
So, that intro got me.
Well, yesterday I lost particularly badly in CSGO and took it out on my mouse. I'm gonna have to see if I can get my hand x-rayed tomorrow - I'm sure you can fill in the blanks.
Exploiting ≠ Cheating ≠ Hacking
*Exploiting* is usage of unintended ways within the official boundaries. *Cheating* oversteps these boundaries in intended but hidden ways while *hacking* creates unintended ways outside the boundaries.
Spiff becoming the new internet historian
I'm honestly surprised you didn't cover the EVE Online "banking" scam that a guy used to make enough both in-game and real money to buy an expensive house, car, time in college, and one of the biggest and most powerful ships in the game.
Another spiffing video old chap. A raise of the T cup and a tip of the hat, from a fellow Brit. Keep up the good work old chap.
My family has a rule about screen watching in split screen games: It's not cheating, it's a feature. We just make it clear that everyone's allowed to do it, and have fun. Really, why worry about whether someone cheated or not when we can just declare that it's a part of the game? That way, you can't complain that they're screen watching, just that they're doing it better than you are. XP
@Lurch7861 Nostalgia. Also distracting the nieces and nephews when they come over. I get to be the cool uncle with all the mysterious ancient technology and games that their friends have never seen. (Or, at least that's how I like to think about it.) XP
Love watching you break every game I love playing, can trait to see what you do to coh3.
Your comedy is the best! 🤣😈
