Overwatch Cheat Wrecked by Pro Player

If you’re going to cheat at any game – and you’re resigned to being that particularly despicable brand of loser for the rest of your life – the least you should do is try to avoid pro players if you want to retain what little self-respect you have left. If you’re not that smart, please let us know and we’ll get the popcorn. Thankfully, when pro Overwatch player Brandon “Seagull” Larned – a member of Team NRG – utterly owned a cheater using an aimbot, he stuck the video on Twitch for us all to enjoy (starts 01:01:30):

Seagull was joined by fellow pros Brady “Agilities” Girardi and Christopher “GrimReality” Schaefer of The Immortals, CLG’s Nathan “Miso” Lui, plus MoonMoon and DSPStanky. The team soon clocked that one of their opponents, playing as D.Va, was using an aimbot and, after initial frustration, banded together to take that fraud down. The rest of the opposition team, not using cheats, were easy pickings after that.

The cheater will no doubt be banned by Blizzard, a company which has shown great delight in swinging that banhammer. Last month, it banned over 10,000 Overwatch cheaters, many of which were found to be using ‘Nuke Kings’ which target certain IP addresses with denial of service attacks.
