Top Counter-Strike Players Embroiled In Hacking Scandal

An anonymous reader writes Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is one of the world's fastest growing eSports, but the community has been rocked by scandal in the last week, with several top players being banned by Valve for using various hacking tools to improve their performance. With the huge Dreamhack Winter tournament taking place this weekend, the purge could not have come at a worse time for the game, and fans are now poring over the archives for other signs of foul play in top tier games — be sure to look out for these tell tale signs while playing.

Look, you glued yourself to a movement forged in pure unadulterated misogyny and now whine about how people accuse you of being a misogynist.

It's like wearing a swastika and getting miffed about all the people who accuse you of being a racist, even though you totally don't mean it that way.

It really does not require any more skill. If hacking were allowed, it would come down to who has the fastest computer and lowest ping to the server.

Playing the game without hacks requires skill.

Sooo .. sorta like high frequency trading?
