Player wrongly banned.
Serious accusations happening between a dev, a streamer, and an innocent player getting banned. Mind boggling that a streamer can hit up a dev, by simply texting him, and getting a player banned on ...

@PeterN_UKStop being illusioned. Stats, career, reputation etc. are literally NO indication or evidence about someones innocence and should NOT be taken into consideration whatsoever.
There were a dozen scandals in CSGO alone about professional players cheating despite their VERY livelihoods literally depending on it. Same with streamers. Hell a few months ago over 30 coaches in professional CSGO have been banned and got their reputation tarnished for abusing exploits in tournaments.
Thats like saying celebrities and authorities are less likely to commit crimes. Yet most that didn't turn out to be [Edit - Admin.] are likely involved in tax evasion.
@BigBlackCausticI was highlighting entertainment value of the story. What I am saying is that the result didn't matter as the process was more observed in what happened. Just what seemed to be case with his sudden turnaround.
Funny thing is credibility is taken into account in legal system. i.e. A person's past has bearing when it shouldn't. Police will jump if there is media attention or someone famous are priority, money gives you strong legal representation than appointed one. Not ideal or fair, just the world we lived in.
But I do know both were subject to abuse that is not warranted.
After 22K kills, most likely 1500hrs, he only now gets caught because of a Gibby teammate who was obviously cheating?
Isn't that worrisome in the grand scheme of things for any of you? Cause that sure isn't reassuring for me!
And all this because a streamer had a direct line to a Dev.
Big yikes imo!
- @Gabrielmojo26 That is actually my biggest issue with this. How did this guy get predator twice and play all that time with no one catching him before.
@Gabrielmojo26Or the Gibby * up and became blatant and sloppy. Or he might not be the only cheater he frequently boosted with. Also they had multiple accounts so that made investigation a lot easier.
When you consider how long cheaters go undetected even when being watched live in pro tournaments then no, its not surprising at all.
More worrysome is the Reddit neckbeard hivemind in the Apex community. Over 25k apparently believed that * without a single thought or shred of scepticism, and he just had to say the magic spell "Respawn bad".
Hell if anything its good news for me, i should rile people up on Reddit so my childhood dream of becoming a cult leader can come true. I would have great power and resources with no responsibility, like Jim Jones, David Koresh or Shoko Asahara (who was apparently a Caustic main, go figure). Whats not to love?
