We Need to Talk About Cheating Accusations in CS:GO - Video

On Monday a CS:GO team called Chaos Esports Club beat MIBR in a hard fought best-of-three series to move on in the CS Summit NA regional qualifier.

Almost immediately afterwards accusations of cheating were leveled against members of Chaos, specifically a young player named leaf, from mostly Brazilian MIBR supporters.

But what’s worse is that leaf then started receiving waves of abuse and even death threats on social media. He’s 16 years old, and his situation has brought to the fore a crucial question that we as part of the CS:GO community need to answer:

How do we address the question of whether or not someone cheated, without enabling harassment, abuse and death threats from angry, unhinged fans?
