Re: Esports drivers quitting competative and the cheating allegations fiasco

Would it honestly make any difference if Thomas put out a tweet saying that he wasn't cheating? The only response from him that actually might make any difference to the current situation is if he admitted that he was cheating.

I don’t condone online abuse in any way shape or form.  Find it disgusting. I won’t say anything online I’m not prepared to say to someone’s face.  In fact I’m more civil to people online than I am in the real world. 

However…. I can’t help but enjoy spicy racing and loved the France race in particular.   This could also explain why Ronhaar isn’t doing so well now.  As every driver is now going to extreme lengths against him wheel to wheel.   Every driver he tries to pass at the very least squeeze or push him wide

This is true but there are ways that he could have helped the scenario. For instance, it's well known that he has come from Xbox, if he still has the platform he could post time trial laps that come relatively close to the world records he's set on PC. He could show races on that platform. Yes, there'll be certain factors that may not allow it but some sort of effort to do something is good for optics.

Even just acknowledgement of the issue is better than silence as silence can make someone look guilty, whether they are or not.

Edit: Besides, some sort of explanation regarding his telemetry would go a long way. If he is prodigious and he may be, that it does appear that he's doing something that isn't technically possible to do in the game without an aid and also isn't setup related. Just a hint of how he's achieving would allay suspicions. Obviously eSport drivers are unlikely to give away secrets to why they're so fast but bending the game as he's doing in some instances must be noted. With Otis/Elite, we could see how he was able to get on the throttle so quickly etc

I agree. If I had eSports Champion qualities like Ronhaar I would show them on Xbox, PS or even NES if needed! And I would have done that a long time ago. Then I know it takes all kinds.

However, it is a serious problem for the game, for its popularity (and even for the huge prize pools in eSports) 😞

Or or… He maybe a big fan of the royals and seen how they dealt with the Markles.   And thought yeah lets keep silent and carry on 😂

I love how Ronhaar is just continuing to mind his own business through all of this and is still doing league races 😂😂 But he is in a pretty bad spot now, he could come out with a statement and a detailed video explaining all the "suspicious findings", but would anyone believe him at this point🤔Here's Ronhaar replying to F1's twitter about Alonso's uno-reverse penalty and see the replies:

I don't think this thing with Ronhaar will ever go anywhere - ever, but, hopefully this has created a big enough of a fuss so anti-cheat gets implemented and then there will be no doubts moving forward 🙂

Read w/ a pinch of salt ofcourse

Alex Gillon just posted an interesting video.  Don’t post the link on here as I think it may get deleted 

@TotosHeadphonesJimmy has just posted another one. Just started watching it. He’s reached out to Ronhaar who declined to talk to him

Apparently Someone from Codemasters said something interesting 🤷🏻‍♂️

Marduk and limited man have just posted videos now.   It’s going off 😂

Another question I have is why Haas and R8G which are both run by a former F1 Driver, RG, I can't remember how to spell his name but he was the guy on fire awhile back.

Why he would risk his reputation on this makes little sense to me. RG has also tweeted he feels bad for him because of all the accusing going on which would suggest a in-house investigation.

My position is innocent till proven guilty. 

The guy who developed the cheat says 70 percent of Esport drivers are cheating that means ONLY 6 guys on the grid are LEGIT!

He also said EA is going to have to pay up for REAL anticheats and pretty sure if they do we will have to pay for it, still better than F1 Life I guess🤔

@BadMayh3mI don’t believe any of the alleged cheats use hacks on every track. More likely they use hacks on tracks they are weaker on. and most likely on qualifying. To avoid being stuck in a train.

That’s how  I would do it if I were to cheat. 

As @mariohomoh  has said they are mainly kids.  Who want everything now.  So would not surprise me if many are cheating 

Apparently Ronhaar puts some quick laps in on Xbox this week.  But only half dozen or so  tracks….   Did he pick those tracks because those tracks are where he is strong….  🤷🏻‍♂️.   If he does every track then I may be alittle more convinced off his innocence
