A huge shoutout to CS RMRs as there truly is no competition in this category. WP and Well Deserved! Another one for Nyholm's trophy case.

"But hey, this is esports, so no-one really cares about integrity anyway."

No, Richard, a lot of us care. We're just silenced and gaslighted.

Oh look, gaslighting.

Now the inevitable "ban" awaits.

You can outline every method of crime and corruption that goes on within the scene, but apparently a 17 year old with an aimbot is too far gone.

Which 17 year old would that be? Go on, make the accusation so we can skip to the part where it's obvious to everyone you're delusional.

This is the part that I'm not going to play with you. For one, how rude are you?

Calling someone delusional because the scene sits on top of third party online platforms that have been readily bypassed for years.

You won't even have the conversation, yet you'll make statement about what a joke competitive integrity is and "nobody cares."

Feels like hypocrisy.

You've publicly accused me of "covering for" bad things that happen in esports and implied I'm part of some conspiracy to prevent integrity issues from being addressed. Yeah, I'm going to be rude to you because you're a lying delusional asshole. Do notice that I haven't deleted your comments though and have taken the time to respond to you. I bet you don't get that from the other people you spend your time trolling on the internet.

I can't help but notice you didn't answer the question. Just make the accusation and then we can end the conversation because it'll be apparent how out of touch from reality you are.

I'm not going to accuse anyone because that changes the point I am trying to make. My point is that these kids are cheating and getting away with it because the methods for doing so are well known, published and understood. Not to mention you have flagrant aimbot glitching for some players all following a similar style of tracking people through walls, because to a DMA cheat, there is no wall. Everything is just series of coordinates in a 3d box.

I haven't accused you of covering up anything, however you're on record admitting you've lied for the scene before (lied about what I don't know).

So circle back, if you know competitive integrity is a basically non-existent, why are you arguing that nobody would cheat?

Come on man, he is not talking to you specifically. When 90% of fans of all eSprts say: "I WON'T PAY. IF IT IS PAID, I WILL WATCH SOMETHING ELSE" is because they don't care.

If eSports fans cared Richard and all the other real journalists would be hailed as heroes of the industry and not be hated as the worst people in the world.
