So, what happens when one of these players are caught red-handed mid-tournament?
Class is in session!
Forsaken (CS:GO)

Jonathan Kosmala (Fortnite)
We have released Johnathan Kosmala from our Fortnite team.
We are shocked to learn that he was cheating during the World Cup Qualifiers.
This violation is serious and we have ended our relationship with him.
The player tried to delete the file on the spot when confronted.Fail.exe.
We apologize to our supporters for his lapse in judgement.
Long story short, Kosmala was quickly banished from Team Kaliber and thrown to the press.
He did, however, go on to receive a refund for the wall hack.
Ah, of course —stream sniping. Textbook play.
How’s that for a bittersweet ending?
Tom60299 (Hearthstone)
Ah, of course stream sniping.
Take stream sniping, for example.
I mean, the blame partly lies with Riot for that god-awful stage design.
Like, $12,000, to be exact.
And that’s just for coming dead last.
How’s that for embarrassing, eh?
Although not cheating exactly, it is a tad iffy.
One sour action, unfortunately,canlead to a blizzard of extreme consequences.
It’s a butterfly effect in motion, really.
SEMPHIS (CS:GO)
Although not cheating exactly, it is a tad iffy.
But it wasn’t through the usual run-of-the-mill hacks or cliche stream sniping, or anything like that.
It was actually, disgracefully, all thanks to a little prescription drug called Adderall.
And although the guidelines failed to outline Adderall, the act did still spark debate in the Esports domain.
So, not exactly the storybook ending Friesen had banked on.
Tired of cheats?
Had enough of eSports?
