He's walling and aimbotting in my opinion.

For the future, please mention which rounds to look at especially since watching an entire demo without some guidelines at least is quite time consuming. Also approximate rank wouldn't hurt either.

Souma would be cool if you updated the OP with players that are "deemed hacking" by the TL community!

I like how he was showing off his wallhack during warmup. Yeah, reported.

Will do!

When someone is confirmed to be hacking, anyone who can spare 30s to report the guy through his Steam profile link, please do so. :> I usually include the demo link in the report as well.

Played vs an obvious hacker in low rank (I'm Silver Elite). No crosshair placement at all and pulling wicked HS and waits/walks at moments he shouldn't.

Name: PS-PL Noob
Steam profile: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198129867305/
League: Gold Nova 1 or Silver Elite (can't remember, how do I check?)
Demo: steam://rungame/730/76561202255233023/+csgo_download_match%20CSGO-rYaet-J6VTE-4pReA-zz4Bb-7PVPA

2:36 - Walks out aiming in the floor and pulls HS on me.
4:15 - Puts a bullet in 3 peoples heads the instant they come out behind red. Moves crosshair too far then pulls it back really fast for HS. When a real player aims it looks nothing like this.
7:55 - Pulls off 2 HS with Scout without even aiming at their heads.
8:22 - Starts walking randomly at ramp when we have planted A when he sees me coming through the wall. Has crosshair aimed at nothing, gets HS on me right as I move out, then starts running again.
11:13 - Sick turning around a corner without strafe into crosshair jerks right to a guys head.
11:23 - Waits for guy behind vent to move out then gets another "jerk-HS" since he never ever has his crosshair in a good position.
19:56 - Deagle oneshots 2 ppl coming out of one vent each.


I could go on, but I don't really think it is necessary.

Wait do reports via steam profile actually contribute to them getting overwatched?

Yeah, didn't have to watch this at length. Second round of the match really obvious aimbot and wallhack in my opinion.

I think you can find his rank looking at your past matches? Not sure though. Otherwise you have to have him in friends I think.

No idea, but it's definitely worth a try. I reported both of the hackers in this thread and in the description put the game and demo link.

To be honest, there are so many cheaters out there that I very much doubt the usefulness of actually trying to build a list of cheaters. The blatant ones will be banned within weeks anyway and its really not worth to bother building a list.

What would be useful instead is to build a list / guide of good practices for overwatching (maybe to teach new people whats cheating and whats not) and have a discussion about what is beyond reasonnable doubts and what is not.

By the way, you are referring to cheaters, not hackers. Cheaters are the ones using the tools, hackers are the ones building the tools.

Whoa buddy, what cat's clawing at your balls tonight?

The point is to not just get blatant hackers, but subtle ones as well. And even if blatant ones will get banned eventually, the point is to get them banned as soon as possible with a higher rate of reports pushing them to Overwatch quicker. Plus, keeping track of who we reported with a list has the added benefit of providing justice porn for when they do get banned.

Also, in the world of Counter-Strike, the word "hacker" has a connotation for those using wall hacks/aim hacks. Believe it or not, a word can have more than one meaning.

You don't have to contribute, but please don't dampen the efforts of those who want to.

We have a team of people that handle reported profiles every day. We get a lot of reports and they take time to investigate. The more unique reports a profile has, the quicker it will be investigated. You may also report such things via Steam Support.

I was not trying to belittle your work or anything.
I was just trying to point out that a discussion on how to do a good job at overwatching would be much better than a thread to vent your rage at you latest MM loss to a cheater.

And on the topic of the word "hacker". Yes I do know that is widely misused in CS world, which is why I pointed that out. We should stop misusing it. "Hackers" are DDoSers and cheat providers, not people turning on wallhacks on csgo. But then again, its only my opinion that we should really try to use that word correctly and you don't have to take it at heart.

I assure you we're doing more than venting our rage, but regardless, people will complain about hackers.

At this point in time, the term "hacker" is not misused, it has evolved to include a new connotation. No point trying to change it now.

That is a very bad hacker lol. But yeah, he's toggling. He hides it decently some times since he's incredibly bad but it's obvious in a handful of rounds.

Just played against a waller. Watch from the second round to the eighth round, and more if you need more proof. He's adjusting his aim through the wall and smoke.

I dont even play MM anymore. It's almost impossible to be sure if a person cheating or not. Valve has failed at caghting cheaters. Also, the servers are very shitty. That's why I play ESEA. No more hackers, 128 tick servers, life is beautiful.

Ouch. If this turns into a bigger flusha discussion, we should probably make a separate thread for it.

I don't have anything against the guy or fnatic as a team and I'm really not the kind of person to just jump on a bandwagon but is there any reasonable explanation for how this stuff happens to him and only him? I don't buy the 'hits the edge of the keyboard' or 'he lifts his mouse a lot' as they are super improbable and also don't explain why this happens only to him.

The observer's paradox idea (that we're all sorta just focusing on him more than on other people) *could* be an explanation but... I don't know. After all the pro cheating scandals in 2014 I'm pretty sure me and A LOT of other CSGO viewers were looking at ALL pros with equal suspicion and it's still just flusha who falls out of line.

As a counter-example: I understand that it was almost impossible to hack at Dreamhack last year and he still had several 'aimlock' moments so I really just don't know. I don't want to rule out that there is a logical explanation for him being innocent but I just can't come up with anything.

Any ideas? (Let's be civil about it please, innocent until proven guilty and all :p)

On a serious note, why would he even be looking there in that situation? Very odd stuff.
