He Got Kicked From a $100k CS:GO Tournament...

Getting knifed in CS:GO is a pretty rare thing. So last weekend, when one player got knifed not once, not twice - but five times during the ReadyUp Invitational, many began to get suspicious.
With $100,000 on the line, there have been accusations that two opposing players, Gale Adelade and Kephrii, were actually teaming up to get their hands on the prize pool.
FACEIT has made a ruling on all this - but it’s not one we saw coming. Let’s dive in.

Lol It’s also pompous of the entire community to accuse him of cheating with zero awareness for who he is. These streamers make ridiculous amounts of money if they are popular, why does he need to cheat in a CSGO tournament for $25k? It’s a valid argument. With that said, he 100% cheated. The clip on Mirage sold it. There is no way someone with deductive reasoning capable of being in the FBI can genuinely fight someone in palace, spot tetris, and then try to run off site with his back turned to where he KNOWS an enemy is. You can’t claim to be intelligent and then make a play like that under the guise of (im just bad). It’s too obvious and any one who is actually smart and plays FPS games for a living would never turn their back to a location where they spotted an enemy.

Yeah right buddy, they planned it. They are not that dumb. They are nowhere near silver. This is so obvious and I only watched two of the knives. Kephrii is such a shttr, and Gale too know.

[@FRANANGELICOONA]

He was definitely feeding kills. In case cat pushed up or someone peeks from market he should pull out pistol. AND IN CASE SOMEONE FROM APTS PUSHES: you should back the fuck up so your back isn’t exposed. But he moves up so that his back is exposed and his barrel is sticking out from the corner.

[@Melody_ow]

I only watched this because its something to pass the time with, being an ow player, not surprised Keph reacted the way he did, there arent many players i dislike, but he is definitely one of them

[@Cl0udWolf]

I think the system was bad. If they tried to feed kills that abusing the system but it’s a terrible system. Because players know knife kills r worth more points both teams probably intentionally played stupid trying to get knife kills, and they can always just argue they were oblivious

[@DarkForceUbz]

​@@Suspect002 Tazer is actually OP if you're half-smart. I don't know why people don't use it more, maybe pros don't use it much, and the flock follows. I wish I had stats for it, but I bet that 75% of the times I spent 200$ on a taser on an eco, I came back with an smg or the other side's main rifle. I buy that instead of any pistol for an eco everytime I'm feeling fresh. Tazing 9 times in a game is kind of weird tho, he's either smurfing or bought the game on discount (without the walls). If an average SMFC plays against and with genuine silvers, that number is totally possible, but it just doesn't happen on any gold nova 3 or + average game, only silvers fall for the same shxt more than 5 times, and you sometimes gotta change target for a few rounds to let them 'forget'.

[@JaminHere]

Faceit and Heaven Media rushed their "investigation" in the matter. They were fast to respond to put out any tension or possible drama from the accusations and didn't take real care into looking into the history of Kephrii's skill in shooters. Kephrii is self admitted to being a former Global Elite player before he moved to Overwatch, and as someone that is in a similar boat... You don't just lose game sense especially when you play other Competitive shooters to the top level. Individuals went through the footage themselves to find if Faceit's and Heaven Media's findings were accurate. Most of the situations where he was knifed were around B, and he was deliberately ignoring Apartments allowing Gale to knife him. Comparing that game to a previous game on the same map from the previous day, Kephrii isnt against Gale and is playing B where he isn't being deliberate to ignore Apartments. I 100% believe this was a planned knife reed for Gale. They're good friends, they duo Overwatch a lot and are friends outside this. And if you know of Kephrii's history in Overwatch in the slightest... You'd easily come to the same conclusion.

thats what I was thinking also ... and players that dont immediately realize that thats probably what she is doing... are terrible players that require a teammate to clue them in on the map situation all the time... because they must never look at the map ... if you never look at the map, you just arent a great player and will never be a great player .. and why should we listen to the criticisms of someone that cannot ever be great?
