A Widowmaker professional faces off against a cheating copycat in Overwatch. Who wins the duel?
There are a handful of Overwatch players who really have it down. Every shot hits perfectly, every ability is optimally placed, and provides maximum benefit. This brings these players attention from viewers and the occasional tournament. It’s no wonder that some less skilled players want a piece of the attention pie and try to grab the crumbs in unfair ways.
Such was the case for professional player Kephrii last week during a livestream. He is one of the best Widowmaker players in the world with phenomenal reaction times. In a match, he faced off against an opponent who had taken the same Battle.net name and also played Widowmaker. The problem: He was obviously using an aimbot and a wallhack. In the death cams, it can be clearly seen every time how the crosshair perfectly sticks to the enemy hero, even when they are moving quickly and unpredictably.
An exciting match develops, where Kephrii duels the cheater-Kephrii and consistently comes out on top. You can watch the entire game on the Route 66 map in this video.
Even when the cheater switches to Tracer to ruin Kephrii’s day, the team remains calm. “One needs to switch to McCree” is the calm announcement, before even Tracer has to bite the virtual dust again and again.
The satisfaction at the end of the round is evident on Kephrii’s face, but it also gets a bit vulgar in the chat. But what can you say? Someone deserves it.
Once again, it has been shown that even with cheats, you can’t hold a candle to the professionals.
In Overwatch, the Doomfist has been stolen – is the next hero coming soon?
