Dozens of coaches were found to have used an exploit that broke the game, unbalanced competitive play, and led to them getting banned.
And one man uncovered it all.

Big shoutout to Steve Dudenhoeffer who spent countless of hours with me to get this all uncovered!
Thanks for what you did for The csgo esport scene! I dont think me or anyone else can thank you enough. Good job and gl in The future!
We thank u guys
Hey, it’s the guy!
Legend!
Thank you 🐐
This guy sat for hundreds of hours watching demos for free because he loved the game and cared about its integrity. The example of how everyone should be, massive respect for him.
@You have been Hacked i guess but theres at least something in any persons life that they are willing to put this effort towards like its not limited to video gaming...could be a job someone enjoys a sport anything really i get that this is a video game channel and all but its really not limited to that dedication pays off in most anything!
well we only need ONE like that :)
@One Guy Named Ivan Yeah a moron who also made thousand of dollars from this whole thing...
@@jerkkub Thousands for 100s of hours ain't a good pay off.
@You have been Hacked not just a game but an esport as well
Bro this guy deserves a fucking medal for everything he did.
At least some cocaine and hookers.

_Gets rid of the coaching position entirely_
Only for online matches, so when covid ends theyll be back
Although the statement is factually incorrect but funny anyways :)

Yes
At highest level, cause he always plays high stakes😂
The coach knows exactly where the enemies are
If Val ever gets agent skins (pls no), Cypher's first has to be a 'scummy coach' skin.
I know exactly where you are

Michal Slowinski: What if coaches at the highest level of Counter-Strike was cheating?
Bruh xD
Same thing really, only difference is well he can pin point with the Information he has how he can impact something that has meaning to him
In all seriousness though, the biggest impact you can leave is your relationship with others. Don’t ever hesitate to press into that or underscore its significance! Have a good day y’all.

This dude put in so much work he's nearly bald, gotta respect his dedication
this comment made my day
He's not bald he's just taller than his hair.
One punch man level effort
You can see he has longer hair but it's pulled back under his earphones, as seen by it spiking up right behind where it's pressed down
Hes not bald its just his balls were too enormously massive that hair migrated to there to not leave any bald areas down there.
2 men, with nothing to gain but upholding competitive integrity. These dudes are legends.
This dude can honestly write "gives 120% to job" on his resume. What a champ!
Guys let's support this guy on the crowdfunding page. That's sad that he only received 7k. If every one of us sent at least ONE dollar that would've been a huge amount.
Just commenting so this gets noticed.

Hi
Wow this is a great idea!!!
Algorithm notice us now
Valve should pay this guy.
The effort he put to this thing is absolutely magnificent, and should be paid for it. He cares about players and fair play, unlike Valve. Big props to him 👍.
Thank god its this guy, and not the guy that throws his hand like he's in a rave.
@Cheerio Box for sure
Who’s the guy who throws his hands?
@Cheerio Box lol yea getting the same vibe 😂😂😂
@Cheerio Box imo I like dmitri and David rosen
@Cheerio Box oh ok 😔
The fact that he did so much more work to be sure he wouldn't crash someone's career is amazing

@@challengerjj9760 No
these guys should have skins or something like stickers/patches made to celebrate them with a cut of the earning from the items sold going to ESIC to help them with the awesome work they are doing
YES. and they should get some of the profit
This would be a solid idea. I'd definitely get some ESIC stickers, and I bet VAC stickers would be popular :D
Anyone who's got talent making stickers or any of the idea's I thought of can please comment and we could try to make this real and get it up on the workshop
Imagine a BIRDS EYE or VAC sticker
Add a security camera on banana lmao
imagine getting banned for a good cypher’s cam spot
This is why csgo and valorant are completely different games.
LOOOOL
@@xyzen9673 I dont play either game, but I thought the main difference was that csgo is popular
@@kasperdjerns2865 I play csgo and id say that viewrship wise, its sad but valorant is usually more popular. Its just valve being lazy

@@cucuawe465 yup, he got VAC banned
Lol irrelevant Dan m.
After the coaching bug scandal the streamsniping scandal is so underwhelming....
I never played csgo, or watch any tournaments on csgo, but seeing the dedication that this guy and his friend had, damn that was inspiring as fuck. If developers and companies had even half the dedication these guys got, we will have a lot more better esports scene than we have right now.

i dont even play cs go and this is enterntaining
@Jaime Estevez i have it but dont really play it. its kinda hard to look at cuz theres not much color. im a valorant 4 life
Slightly less entertaining if you actually care about the pro CS scene.

gaben net worth is 5.5 billion dollars and he is doing nothing to fix this game and yet the only people who give a fuck are fans but i am very dissapointed to see something like that and honestly if we can get steam to stop this game in order to teach gaben a lesson then i would call it justice
@@katakurithecalamity9840 its all gaben’s fault ig lmao
@@prettyboytwink yeah i just can't believe that no one is blaming him directly for this mess i mean this guy made over 400 million dollars from the game and god know how much did he make from selling cases
@@katakurithecalamity9840 Gaben is just the CEO the last game he actually made himself is Half-Life 1 the rest goldsrc games were mods that valve bought.
@@1atem i am not saying that he made a bad game all i am saying that he needs to use some of the 400 million dollars that he made from csgo to make the game playable and the reason why i am saying that is because any 5 years old kid can go and download free hacks for csgo and if they were a bit smart they would not get banned and if this game is trash to the point that you can get hacks from the internet soo easily then that makes me wonder what has he have provided to the community, the last map update and glitch fixing was released was when valorant came out of beta the same fucking day
The score is uploading so often. I LOVE IT
This guy is a legend and passionate for true esportsmanship. 🔥
when you get there so fast the thumbnail is broken
Why isn't even mentioned that the coach of one of the top tier teams, Astralis I think, upon finding out he was also being punished, tweeted that he reported this bug back in 2018 ? Any research done on the topic ?
If you cant even remember something like that and it’s not mentioned here it probably just a rumor bro.
lmao Zonic didn't use the bug. He reported the bug but never used it
He never reported the bug. Just like Robban. Robban got the shortest ban at 5.5 months for finding the bug but not using it and staying completely silent about it forever. Zonic may have been a same case as Robban
@@truongsonbui5972 I remember reading the news on Dexerto and afterwards seeing in a video his and his team's tweets where he explained how it's unfair since he reported it 3 years ago and Valve ignored him, just to punish him now, even though he didn't abuse it (according to his own words). And Astralis took position to defend their coach. It's not a rumor, it's a real thing.
@@anirudhsubramanian5578 Yep, thanks for reminding me that it was Zonic!
However I want to put focus on the fact that this big has been reported 3 years ago, yet it wasn't addressed back then - my question is why is this being shrugged under the rug?
Where is vitality"s storyline streamsniping astralis? Maybe many times before too
don't forget mibr against OG at flashpoint
There is nothing to say about it lol
Too big to tackle.
The funny thing is they still lost to Astralis
@@haleefhanif5508 That's what cheating does to you, it dulls your game sense and leave you helpless against teams who have sharpened theirs without cheats.
True legend is one who puts 120% into their job, who make everyone's life better... This guy is the real hero❤️ stupid valve just making money for shit, will die soon if they continue to be ignorant
cs is already ded 80% of the pros in cs moved to valorant
It's not soon it's almost years.
I'm not a CS:GO player so I'm a little bit confused as to how this can be used. So the coaches can gain a view of the enemy team, but are the coaches allowed to talk to ingame to the rest of the team members and give them information of where the other team is? If not then how can they use this bug to their teams advantage?
I'm sorry for my ignorance but I mostly watch only competitive league where the coaches are only present during the pick/ban phase so this is very confusing to me, if anyone could enlighten me I would highly appreciate it! :)
the coaches are usually only meant to spectate from the view of the players i think. also the coaches are in voice chat with the team members so having information from the sky during a match like that is game breakingly powerful.
The coaches use the bug to see only one part of the map. The coach can then relay to their team during the game whether or not the enemy team is there. It basically narrows it down to either the opponents are at that location or they are not. If they are not at that location then the other team would know to not watch that area of the map and concentrate on areas where the opponents would be. Hope this helps.
@@Dontatmebr0 Thank you guys so much for your replies. It's crazy to me how coaches can even talk to the players during the match, I think that shouldn't even be allowed, it's essentially another player with a full POV, seems kinda wrong.
It shows where the enemies are playing and the angles they may be holding.
@@Zona3885 well coaches are supposed to educate and improve the players by interacting with them ingame. Well thats how coaches is supposed to do.
this man trade his hair for competitive integrity. i respect
If CSGO didn't give this man a tribute or something, that's sad.
That was simply the fastest notification RUclips have sent to me, the world is not the same...
I got the opposite I got it 2 minutes late 😂😭
See this is the reason I’m subbed. For crazy/inspirational stories of pro teams and insider info from the ranks and GMs. Not for twitch drama involving fed and poki, not for internet drama clout chasing that you’ve done the past year.....
I must agree. This is real reason why do I watch this channel :D Esport is love, esport is life
So this is why Heroic suddenly blew up after being a borderline tier 2 team
Yeah they should've banned the team aswell for knowingly going along with it. But atleast the infamous cheater hunden got a ban.
I've been playing/watching cs for almost 20 years. Cheating ruins the game every time, no matter what it is. Its also always obvious, might work for a while but eventually it will bleed through as players become dependent on the cheat/exploit/glitch. If you struggle to compete, study your opponents, work on your technique, then get back at it.
Thank you for finding this and doing what was necessary to uphold the integrity of the game at the competitive level.
They should have a money reward for catching cheaters like this similar to when a white hat hacker exposes a security flaw in a company's system.
War owl has the perfect voice for news broadcaster. Actually he juat has an amazing voice
You know it's a good video when War Owl's in it
The CS:GO esports scene is rotten to the core. From matchfixing to cheating, the ones that are caught are a tiny minority compared to the hundreds of players that go unnoticed. The fact that coaches at the top are willing to cheat means they feared no repercussion at the time. The most some of them got is 6 months, when matchfixing one single match has gotten the players permanent bans. We now get investigations that are discontinued over "integrity" of the game with the streamsniping scandal (another scandal that affected top teams), citing supposed under-funding as the reason.
I really don't get how people enjoy watching CS when there's a likely chance that at least one of those T1 teams you're watching are currently cheating with a as of yet undisclosed new exploit.
Really thankful for upstanding folks like this guy who put the work in to keep the integrity of the game. Big ups to you!
Im early to some thing for once in my life.
You forgot depression
Down bad today are we?
Almost forgot. Thanks for the reminder.
you know it’s bad when there is that 1 kid who disliked lmao
defo a silver 4 hacker
He must have felt like Mr Incredible finding out about every super death
This man should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize or something. Despite being on vacation and spending his time relaxing and enjoying himself, he did the noble thing and uncovered one of, if not the biggest, cheating scandals in CSGO competitive history. The honor of this man. Respect
I remember watching pro CS and saying “how do they always clear the right corner” this is how
De_cypher cam2
The heros we got, but didn't deserve
temporary bans? They are literally stealing from other teams and fans alike.
Lifetime bans, for everyone involved. Coaches and players alike.
Wanna know why CSGO got through it and seems even bigger now? People like drama. They just do. This stuff is peak drama. As long as not all grand finals are 90% haccusation 10% gameplay, people will eat it up.
I knew heroic were cheating. It was just too good to be true.
I am confused about something. Arent there voice comms for the big tournaments so that the coach can be heard giving info?
Coaches are not allowed to talk to the players during the round. Info gained with this bug could be used during timeouts and half time when the players leave the booth.
Coach could talk during online game
@@Tinskap this makes it more confusing
Excuse me for my lack of esport knowledge but I tought the coach mic was muted during round? So what exactly is the benifits of knowing we're the ennemy we're last round? The only thing I can think of is to spoil straits for certain spot?
The main issue I have with this whole coaching bug scenario is that I still don't understand how the more edge cases were decided on, as it's been getting no coverage. Sure, everyone has talked about Hunden who admitted to exploiting the issue and got banned, but what about a case like Dead's (as far as I remember), where he was found to move his camera on a single round in a single game? Was it intentional, and did he give away information to the team that they shouldn't have, or did he get there by accident, amd kept quiet? Is it even possible to access this bug by accident anyways? I've seen many, many videos on this subject and I still haven't gotten a clear answer.
Leaving out astralis from investigation but not realizing their magic win streak has vanished along with the bug
Csgo and cheating, name a more iconic duo.
But the game continues to survive (20+)..❤❤
even the pro is cheating, i dont even know anymore
Valve and 3
Competition and cheating. Humans will cheat on Rock Paper Scissors
Maybe that’s how flusha shoots through walls and smokes
Video should be renamed, 2 Guys 1 Exploit.
Nice, but this still doesn’t solve cheating in cs. All the time and how easy it is...
Sad
Finally some esport news.
Seeing stuff like this is so bitter sweet. Love to see cheaters get punished but it is such a let down that guys like cadian were probably in on it...
The last time I watched Heroic games, I thought "are they cheating?, How did they know someone position without any info"
"its stronger than before.."
*looks at valorant
hmmm
I’ve definitely seen clips in Competitive CS:GO that I swore the shooter can see the enemies around corners and objects..Their movements and reactions were TOO Flawless💯
Players didn’t see em but know they were there. CSGO gameplay is so weird to watch. Like they have more info than what we see. WEIRD MAKES SENSE NOW lol
Great video as always, love these stuff
This guy deserves way more then a few thousand for the selfless work he did
4:50 Wow
I have always assumed that every CS:GO eSports has been cheated - that’s why I refused to play it. This proves everything.
Also, please do a video on TF2’s bot scandal?
this dude is the BAMF of CSGO, keep it up dude. Your a role model for how this should be handled.
1. sentence: "he was on Vacation when he realized CSGO had a cheating problem." that's exactly the humor I need :). well done
I haven’t even watched the video but you guys are spittin facts
@Cheerio Box Not that deep, he could be talking about finishing watching the video. You are so quick to criticize someone its insane.
First of all this "cheats " has been going for years, second is up to Valve to fiz, and not ban coaches from coaching just because the bug. OFC the coaches who cheated must be punished.
That's how Cypher's camera works...
This makes me think "should I still be playing competitive games?"
“Where is everyone hiding”
Next 3 sec
“I know exactly where you are”
Now we know how flusha cheated, lmao! He was given info by his coach.
The only thing that was better than that guy uncovering the cheating was everyone going "Thanks dude! Here's some money as a reward!"
this is a proud moment to be part of the cgo community, the fact that voulenteres search 15 teabites of demos is inasne mad respect
I’m so early that there’s more likes than views
imagine if Astralis did this they would have 16-0‘ed everyone
never heard of this. there were much bigger scandals back when csgo lounge was around
I want to see people who dare say or think that there were no cheats on the professional scene 4 years ago when I quit playing tournaments.
Imagine it takes years to make people believe what Dan M and couple more guys have told the CSGO community
Who every sees this God bless you and your family
i selled famly for conterstreik
@@frank-hiyah yes very good my friend
Respect for both guys btw. Not only did they spend ages looking through the demos they actually got solid evidence before pointing fingers at people. Especially with a shit ton of people just accusing people these days I respect it.
And there is one even bigger yet unveiled.
In this world, i tought people with flawless a moral compass heading the good way were inexistant, thank you Michau for making me believe in people dedicated only to good still exists.
Forsaken:Hey thats my throne!
If Valve just fix their games goddamit this game is years old already yet there is still bugs like this.
Daniel, i don't think i have ever seen u blink
Honestly, is anyone surprised? Pro counter-strike has always been about who can cheat the most without getting caught.
But the important question is why did they let coaches spectate in such a way?
It's like a cypher cam which is indrestuctible
An old RUclipsr that's been at it for 10 plus years once told me "nothing in your video matters as much as mic quality. People will watch 360p crap if you sound good."
I am now passing that advice onto you. Get a DAC and a used XLR mic dude. $100 altogether.
This guy is a man of focus, commitment and sheer fucking will
7:35 thats why I dont watch any csgo matches anymore for years since flusha
cheating in normal match making: no efforts at all to do anything about it.
cheating in tournaments: people spending their own time not getting paid to do something about it.
gaben net worth: 5.5 billion dollars and still hasn't fixed this stupid game for the last 8 years and still wondering why is there a lot of criticism towards it and honestly if a 5 years old kid can download cheats for this game for free then this is far more than fucked up because valve is just telling us to deal with this bullshit on our own but still suck our wallets with selling cases
someone at valve purposely informed coaches of this glitch and profited in the billions. hilarious how the person that gets in trouble is NEVER the true person that did wrong. every single human when given an advantage, will use it. just a fact of human life and history. more of this corruption will happen in the future because the true person responsible is NEVER punished or found.
TheScoreEsports is the best channel. No cap.
CSGO coaches had cypher mains before val was even out
This is bigger than the forsaken thing
Ahhh so this is why I lost against Heroic in the early qualifiers.
