I think a really good anti cheating system would be that the non-hacker gets the freewin, meanwhile the game goes on, and without the hacker knowing, the other guy is replaced with a 9k mmr AI that just smokes him until he taps out with just a blank look on his face. A pro player would be most fun, but that’s hard to automate.

1) The opponent scouting sentries immediately excludes stargate builds and phoenix hallucinations are super standard and 2) you can tell by the damage they take that they're hallucinations anyway also 3) opening phoenix does not in any ways imply mass phoenixes or multiple stargates. This basically has 0 chance of making someone fall for it. There is also no need to recall phoenixes anyway unless you're getting attacked at home and you need them fast, so that part is also just weird.

You can't expect maphackers to have the same level of knowledge and nuanced thought process as players of the level they play against with. It's always poor decision making that is included, only reason why some even win is through sheer luck of exploiting counter builds if they have the braincells to do so. I always make it a rule that when maphackers are involved, it's always a level or two down the rank they currently have.

It's so refreshing to see a content creator do a video like this and just call a duck a duck. So many people, especially in the CSGO/2 space, will do this and pussyfoot around what is obvious to anyone watching that isn't completely new to the game. They'll constantly make excuses for the cheater and say how they could possibly be legit and maybe just really lucky. The reason cheating is so rampant in online games nowadays is because everyone is so afraid of calling it out and accusing people no matter how blatant they are.
