“The recent allegations against me are all true,” Hunden said in the official statement. “I will take full responsibility for my actions during the Dreamhack Masters and Home Sweet Home Cup 5 tournaments. CSGO in the top arena is very competitive and I know it was wrong, but I still did it and cheated. cheat in the game to benefit.”

This spectator bug has been present since the trainer feature was introduced into the game. This bug was originally supposed to be fixed three years ago but has recently resurfaced in tournaments. hunden explained that he regretted cheating and decided to contact Michau Slowinski – admin of ESL to point out that the bug is still present in the game.

You hear more about this now simply because all matches are being played online nowadays.

Don’t worry though – it is not undetectable and there is a way to check if someone has abused this glitch. And if you did – it’s probably as bad as cheating, so good luck 🙂
