What are your thoughts on the situation, can anything be done moving forward or is the series just doomed?

@v8u5jco54ukpYour timing is impeccable. I’ve been looking for cheat related threads to pass up the almighty ladder

@ScarDuck14 Wowzers, that Bahrain bug is absurd. Somebody has me on ignore but I'd be interested on their take on all of it.

The only positive in all of that is Alvaro Carreton's tweet about working with Codemasters/EA to try to improve the situation:

Just from Jarno video yesterday you could quite clearly see and hear just how angry he is. Which from every video I’ve seen off his it way out off character

Because of the videos on the cheat controversy that I’ve been watching. One of the videos popped up was the wiggle that killed tarkov. Despite never playing the game and never will. I liked the title and watched it. Now I’ve got myself properly engrossed in that controversy.

carry on 😁

@ScarDuck14 Yeah i agree. I agree with a point that TRL Limitless made in that these ESports events should really be LAN events on set PC’s rather than using their own equipment.

@Cpayne32 Every sport has independent adjudicators that scrutinise every surrounding whichever sport. If E-Sports wants to be taken seriously as a sport it needs to do the same

@ScarDuck14 Yeah I absolutely agree. It’s why i don’t overall interact with ESports too much
