Cheating accusation during VCT Indonesia Split shocks gamers
A player named “Mica” has been accused of using cheats during the Valorant Challengers Indonesia Split Open Qualifier. The revelation was done by Indonesia caster Rere “Bredel” Bintoro.
Bredel shared a video from Mica’s PC, where a file named Netflix.exe was sitting in a folder named Fantech Audio. At first, the name sounded like some generic audio peripherals. However, a Netflix executable file inside that was suspicious.
More revelation on the matter
Another caster, Antonius “Son” Willson also dived into the matter and revealed a text file. The file contained an instruction to disable Riot Vanguard, the anti-cheat for Valorant. Furthermore, the file also had instructions to make use of the Netflix.exe app in the folder.
Cheater comes in various forms like wall hacks, aim bots and many more. This gives an unfair advantage to the user and can lead to a permanent ban from the game by the developers.
Responding to the accusations, a representative from Tokyo Revengers released a statement revealing that the files were indeed cheats. Mica himself confessed to the fact. However, he claimed that the cheats were not used during the VCT matches.
Riot Games has yet to issue a verdict
The developers of Valorant at Riot Games are yet to release an official statement on the matter. While Mica cleared the anti-cheat requirements before playing matches, having someone who cheats is sure to turn heads.
Even if Mica did not use the cheats during the game, the use of the cheats, in general, is prohibited and against the terms of Valorant.
A similar thing happened in the Indian esports scene
While these are just accusations for Mica, a similar occurrence also happened in the Indian esports scene. Nikhil “Forsaken” Kumawat was caught using cheats named Word.exe in a Counter-Strike LAM tournament.
After that, the teams were disbanded and the Indian esports scene took several steps back as Optic Gaming left the Indian CS scene.
