A streamer is at the center of a cheating debate after a 1v1 against Twitch’s golden boy. Numerous shooter fans, including well-known content creators for Rainbow Six: Siege, are convinced: he is cheating.
What is the debate about? Twitch streamer Ahmad “mooda” Hallal is accused by numerous shooter fans on social media of cheating during a 1v1 against “Jynxzi” – which he won – in Rainbow Six: Siege.
Nicholas “Jynxzi” Stewart is something of a golden boy on Twitch and, with over 90,000 active subs and an average of over 45,000 viewers, he is one of the largest streamers on the platform. He has spent thousands of hours in Rainbow Six: Siege and reached the highest ranks there. Recently, he has also increasingly played other games like Apex Legends and Counter-Strike 2.
At the time of the 1v1, mooda supposedly had just about 28 hours in Rainbow Six: Siege. He is primarily known for Valorant and is distinguished by his above-average aim. This eventually led to his Twitch channel recording steady growth since 2024. In 2025, he had an average of over 4,700 viewers.
When mooda was confronted with the cheating accusations during the stream, he denied everything and responded with the words: “Your game is ez af!”
Shooter fans are convinced something is off with mooda
How the discussion evolved: Many users shared clips of scenes that are supposed to prove that mooda is cheating. There were situations where he aimed through walls at Jynxzi before he was visible, or even shot through walls at his opponent.
But that was just the beginning of the actual discussion.
The topic grew and many viewers, as well as other content creators, entered the discussion. In the following days, more clips of suspicious gaming situations outside the 1v1 against Jynxzi were posted. Additionally, shooter fans presented various “evidences” that were supposed to further link mooda with the cheating accusations. A thread on Reddit summarizes many findings.
Over days, a significant collection of indications supporting the accusations came to light:
- He allegedly tried to buy cheats for Valorant in 2021.
- Screenshots are supposed to show that he even sold cheats in the past under the pseudonym “ChaosCheats.”
- He wanted to buy spoofers to prevent hardware bans.
- Moreover, his Steam account has already received a VAC ban, and he is also said to have been banned for cheating in Apex Legends and Rust.
The various accounts on the cheat websites were connected to mooda through a Discord user account.
Streamer admits to cheating but downplays accusations – still gets banned
The truth behind the accusations: mooda has repeatedly responded to the accusations and partly admitted to cheating in the past.
Initially, he said that the last time he cheated was six months ago offstream in Rust. He swore on the Quran that he had never cheated while streaming in Rainbow Six: Siege and other games where he is competitively good, and that he would never do so, as he feeds his family with streaming (via X).
In a conversation with Twitch streamer ohnePixel, he later added that as a teenager he also cheated in Roblox and Minecraft (via X).
While the discussion on social media was still raging, mooda was permanently banned by Ubisoft in Rainbow Six: Siege (via X). However, this was probably not a ban for cheating. The reason given was a “link to a banned account,” which means that Ubisoft connected him with another account that was banned in the past.
Experts examine PC to bring the truth to light
This is the current status: After the topic boiled over for nearly 2 weeks, even Jynxzi was no longer sure whether mooda was playing honestly or cheating. For a stream on Monday, April 20, 2026, Jynxzi organized a PC check by experts to either catch mooda cheating or prove his innocence.
Among the experts was former e-sports coach Eric “Fettuccine” Tong, who won the Manchester Major of Rainbow Six Siege in 2024 with the team “Beastcoast.”
The experts checked not only if cheats were currently installed on the PC but also if mooda had attempted to cover his tracks. They emphasized during the stream that they would have seen if he had removed and deleted a connected device on which cheats were installed.
During the PC check, it was revealed that mooda definitely had not used cheats on the PC in the past 2 months.
Nonetheless, mooda does not seem entirely innocent. Although he continues to insist that he has never cheated during a stream, he has already played hundreds of hours of Rainbow Six: Siege in the past and also installed cheats for the shooter in 2019. For example, he got himself caught by saying that it was important to him not to be permanently banned from a game where he had cheated 7 years ago.
“Fett,” who thoroughly checked the streamer’s PC, is convinced that mooda was banned in Rainbow Six Siege because he cheated 7 years ago.
Not only in competitive games like Rainbow Six: Siege do streamers face accusations of cheating. In the shooter hit ARC Raiders, there are similar discussions, for example, around the streamer Mason “Symfuhny” Lanier: Thousands are convinced that the streamer is cheating in ARC Raiders, but others say: Those who really think so aren’t looking closely enough
