In Call of Duty: Warzone there are currently heated discussions about a well-known player who is said to have cheated in the tournament. In a livestream, he is confronted by pro Tommey.
Who is it about? The player Pacesetter is in the spotlight of the accusations. He happily posted on Twitter on January 15 that he had once again broken a world record. 57 kills in solos (via Twitter).
The “Call of Duty” pro Tommey, who plays for 100 Thieves, scrutinized Pacesetter closely. Rumors of cheating had already been in the air. Both participated in the Mainland tournament. After Tommey was eliminated, he could quietly observe the remaining players.
Tommey requests evidence in the chat, gets ignored
This is how it continued: Tommey noticed irregularities in Pacesetter’s gameplay. Therefore, he requested in Pacesetter’s Twitch chat that he quickly turn his camera towards the monitor. He writes:
“Without touching anything, Pace. Quickly turn your camera towards the monitor. So hold it [in your hand] and show us your screen.”
The background is that cheats like wallhacks can be hidden from one’s own streams. You can see them on your monitor, but the viewers on Twitch only see the “normal” gameplay. Tommey suspected this kind of cheating from the streamer as well.
However, the streamer ignored it. Although he clearly looks towards the second monitor and, according to Tommey, thanks a new follower who followed only after Tommey’s message. In the following clip, you can observe that exact moment, which is commented on by Tommey:
After seeing Tommey’s message, he continued playing and was taken out in Warzone. According to his own statement, he then used the keyboard to change his music on the second monitor. But he looked directly at his primary screen.
After that, Pacesetter disappeared from his PC for more than an hour. Tournament admins tried to contact him but failed. They feared that he would delete logs that would incriminate him of cheating. Because he did not cooperate with the tournament admins and deleted his Twitch and YouTube videos, he was disqualified from the tournament.
His opponent from the semifinals said: “The admin says they had a program to check what he deleted. The admin asked him on Discord to do something. Pace then said BRB and didn’t come back.”
Video allegedly shows him cheating
On Erin Reiner’s YouTube channel, there is a video that fits the topic of discussions. It allegedly shows Pacesetter cheating. We embed the clip here:
Pacesetter admits to having cheated before
This is the statement: Tommey writes on Twitter: “Well, there it is. Pace has finally (somewhat) admitted to cheating. He claims it was only on a [secondary account] and he would never have done it on his main (there are clips for that). That settles the matter. I hope people leave him alone now so he can work on himself and move on with his life.”
He also shows a snippet from a stream in which both players can be heard. There he asks him what he says to the accusations that he cheats on secondary accounts. To which he replies, “that’s a secondary account, bro” and admits that he has done it “once.”
This means that Pacesetter at least admits to having had some involvement with cheats. Whether that was the case during the tournament remains unclear.
At least he tried harder to conceal it than other players with their hacks. Because this CS:GO player thinks he cheats completely secretly. But a small piece then gives him away and exposes him in front of all his viewers.
What is your opinion on the case of Pacesetter? Do you think all of this could be coincidences and he just didn’t want admins to scan his PC, or are the videos clear enough for you?
