CS:GO is recently the center of series of scandals about cheat exploitation in its community. Not long ago, a bug has been found by G2 Esport’s Apex Legend player. The bug let people active in-game cheats functions that are only active when sv_cheats is on.
And this time, a Twitch streamer ‘Tom Black” has been banned from the platform for showing hacks and turn wallhacks on during his stream intendedly.
About the incident
During his stream, a streamer named ‘Tom Black’ on Twitch was banned after intentionally alt-tabbing to his cheat windows and even turning on wall hacks.
You can see the footage in this video below:
As you can see from the clip, in a random game, Tom Black was confidently telling his friend: “Don’t worry, I have a solution. Look at this.”.
It turns out, his solution was a hack tool!
He immediately tabbed his tool on, turn the “enable glow” feature on. The feature allows the player to see the outline of others’ characters even through walls, which is basically a wall hack. Eventually, he decided to turn the option the hack off, but it was caught in sight by many viewers, as well as his friend.
This was clearly not a mistake made by the streamer, as he even telling his friend to check his stream to see him using the hack. The friend was very annoyed when figuring out that his friend is using the hack tool, and questioned why ‘Tom’ did bring the tool up.
However, ‘Tom Black’ responded with a little smirk, disregarding about the consequences of his actions.
As a result, Twitch immediately deleted ‘Tom Black’ channel, and implementing a ban for him for violating the platform terms of service, regardless of his excuse that he didn’t take advantages of that during the match.
CS:GO wallhacks issue
Wall hacks in CS:GO seems to be more and more accessible for the players. Valve has implemented a numerous amount of bans for using in-game cheats. In 2018, more than 1.6 million accounts were banned for using hacks, and that number is unlikely to drop this year.
Twitch has also never tolerant of hacks in history. Although there are some questionable bans that Twitch has applied regarding “violating terms of service”, this time, there is no reasonable excuse for this streamer.
