In Call Of Duty: Cold War, the up-and-coming pro yyyunggg was caught cheating live. He wanted to prove his innocence due to earlier accusations.
Who is he anyway? yyyunggg describes himself as a “Cracked” CoD player who has been around since 2007. He was considered a rising star in the pro scene.
What happened? Due to previous allegations, yyyunggg wanted to show in a stream that he does not use cheats. Additionally, he intended to show his task manager to prove that no hacks or cheats were running. However, something went wrong, and a second, modded view of the game showed enemies visible through walls.
This did not go unnoticed by British esports commentator Alan Brice, who posted the clip on Twitter: “Imagine being so weird that several people notice you using wall and aim hacks. Then you deny it, try to get away with it, and accidentally show everything on stream…”
In the clip, you can see an additional image in the upper left corner of the screen, where players are shown with red outlines and green health bars, even through walls.
This was probably not planned
This is how the streamer reacted: yyyunggg probably envisioned this differently. Initially, he removed all videos from his Twitch account. Then he also deleted his Twitter profile.
Apparently, he created a new Twitter account and now thanks Twitter for the attention. In a reply to @Bricetacular, he writes:
I feel personally attacked… wait, I don’t… Cheers for the free press!

He certainly doesn’t seem to take the accusations seriously. In a reply to a user, he claims that most of his CoD idols would do the same.
On his newly created Twitter profile, he thanks again for the attention and extra viewers: “I got angry free press last night, over 2,000 viewers because of it… some even post my gameplay online. Thanks for the shoutouts, guys! I appreciate the help!” (via Twitter).
CoD has been struggling with cheating issues for a while
What kind of problems are these? The case is part of the numerous issues that Cold War and Warzone have been facing for a long time. At the end of January, a cheater boldly boasted about his hacks and that no one gets caught. Also, on TikTok, a cheater with openly displayed hacks was incredibly successful.
One of the biggest CoD YouTubers, Vikkstar123, announced early February 2021 that he would quit CoD. There are simply too many cheaters and hackers. He criticized the poor state of Warzone.
Is nothing being done? By the end of 2020, over 200,000 cheaters were banned in Warzone. However, many players feel the measures are not enough.
Are you affected by cheaters yourselves? Do you think not enough is being done against them? Let us know in the comments.
