Some more context on a couple of things: China's win against Russia could have bern almost unaffected if Fia wasn't there. Her score decided the outcome only on 1 map and even then her absense could have been made up for. Apparently, Chicony(and some other members of the community) actually had gathered a lot more evidence by the time of his "lost to a cheater" tweet but it was only revealed to a small group of people on stream(not even his stream i am pretty sure) and was not discovered at the time of his osu report thread. His position seems unjustified at first, but he actually had reasons to be confident in his allegations

[@sublime_tv]

What's even worse is that the Chinese community had suspected Fia for a long time - hence this "joint performance" by Fia and Rio origins, to deflect a suspicions. In the end, she was accepted her as "innocent until proven guilty." To its own disaster for China team. You say it was an embarrassment for the OWC - what if, for example, China had won a medal and prize money? THAT would have been an embarrassment probably for the rest of the game's existence.... And it was not out of the question - Korea (and later Poland) showed that the United States are not unbeatable. PS. This "mapping in a similar way" was even crazier - both accounts hosted each other's mapsets, gave Guest Diffs to them, succesfully Ranked them.... They even teased each other in comments and discussions about them! And that's all in FEW DOZENS of mapsets! This, by the way, is thought to be the reason for this whole madness - one of Rio's maps was disqualified for Ranked at the last minute for.... copying fragments from Fia. Either he decided to take revenge or he was scared of being caught - so regardless of the reason he decided to leave in style.

One thing was that PinkHeart and Imoutosan/Fushimi Rio as mappers had pretty different and recognizable styles. Something that would probably be impossible to keep consistent for as long as they did before Fushimi Rio got the account (several years of ranked maps). It was definitely a point of debate in the mapping community of what exactly happened here. The player community got its closure when they found out it was all replay submission but as far as the mapping goes we still don't have a perfect idea. The main theory people have is the one presented in the video where Fushimi Rio is doing all the mapping for both accounts but there's still some doubt to whether PinkHeart has no access to the account as Fia had produced some extremely distinctive stuff even after the namechange (Countdown to the Blue comes to mind).

Why are people feeling more sorry for the Chinese team and not all the other teams that had to play fairly against cheaters

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

The account dupe was a wild twist that suddenly makes sense of the avatar of both being the exact same picture, but highlighting the other character that's off-screen. This person *was wagging it around in front of everyone the entire time* and it took the biggest tournament to actually expose that.

[@tarotsushima3332]

Matching pfps is sth a lot of internet friends do so that's not exactly a gotcha. The fact that they share a social media account and Fia only talks through Fushimi was a dead giveaway though

[@Snowiy.]

Oh my lord! This is such a well made video :o Thanks for putting the time in to make it!

[@osu_fishy]

Fushimi Rio vs Fia in a tournament setting be kinda crazy lmao. Playing against yourself.

[@kkasfa1596]

Playing against yourself funnily enough is probably a genuine way to see how much you improved. But in this setting yeah it's kinda nuts 😅

My jaw dropped down to the floor with a speed of 727kmh when it was revealed that both of them were the SAME PERSON

Still feel bad for Crystal

[@phuong4652]

I dont even play osu but this case is wild, the way they figure it out and the 40 page document is nut

[@_gungrave_6802]

Once you said it was a tournament about people representing their country I instantly knew you were going to say China. THeir gaming culture is beyond fucked because the Chinese don't view cheating as being bad. To them using any and all possible advantages is the way to play games. This is why most of the players who cheat tend to originate from China.

[@czaa4120]

This is indeed the truth. But I believe that good gamers are definitely in the majority.The internal game environment in China is really a mess.I hope it gets better and better. Amen😓

[@jervey123]

damn, i can't believe there's such a sizable e-sports presence for a game that was based off elite beat agents, a relatively obscure DS title of all things

[@lordzerkia]

Might be slight bias for lack of better word, but it seemed painfully obvious Fia didn't exist, based on only having seen this video and having no prior knowledge. Like stated in the video, the constant lack of being able to provide basic proof of replays and basic existence, as well as the matching profiles, seemed quite blatant no? Maybe I'm wrong and overthinking, but good video nonetheless !

Great vid dude

looks like osu and geometry dash have something in common

New Sub here. Don't even care one bit about Osu! But your commentary got me hooked. Cheers from Philippines!

[@limelime1140]

I cant handle the fact that he wont stop saying "Ose" or whatever bothers the shit out of me tbh

[@devv.r6s]

the plot twist was crazy 😬

[@suyangsong]

idk why but I realized Fushimi being Fia the moment you said they only communicate through Fushimi. This is _such_ a common thing in the Chinese gaming/esports scene, it really is kinda sad to see how little Chinese teams care about competitive integrity.

Not sure how relevent this is to the current game being discussed. I played against a player ranked in the top 50 in a state for the game Guitar Hero. At the time, I was somewhere between a low end Expert level player and the difficulty below that. What I found was they had practiced at such high speed that at lower speeds they were not as proficient as I was. I would have been destroyed at the highest difficulty no question.

[@d-dayume3146]

but i really cant imagine how someone manage to found out they are the same person

[@ikillufrfree]

they used the exact same replay plays on both accounts. down to the millisecond same plays. so they either shared a computer or were just the same person, kept digging from there and they figured it out

[@Homiloko2]

@@ikillufrfree Yeah but how did someone find those exact replays that are identical? It's still crazy.

[@hoIycow0]

One time in a little player unknown battlegrounds tournament, an entire team of chinese pro players cheated with x-ray vision. I don't want to sound too racist, but considering the vast amount of cheaters from china, especially in fps games, this country is bound be cheating in most games.

[@babyninjajesus2669]

wow china and cheating, name a more iconic duo

[@foreverkurome]

Cheating is the only thing new gen gamers know how to do, it's sad. The osu community is toxic as hell though so what's a bit more drama but anything they desserve.

[@Mr.Potato2900]

This has been quite a Fia-sco

[@kaylemain2006]

I am totally oblivious about osu! tourneys so this whole thing is new to me but as soon as I saw Fushimi's tweets I thought "That's probably the same guy" lol

[@Redhotsmasher]

So let me get this straight, you don't even need to show yourself playing the game on camera? In a massive tournament with actual medals and prize money and shit? So the Osu! world cup literally has laxer rules than submitting a speedrun these days (I think those generally require a hand cam nowadays, right?)? Or am I missing something? (I'm also kinda left wondering what kind of "player vetting process" passes a player who doesn't even exist.)

[@cherryyluv]

no you don’t but they can ask for one at any time which they did but she ended up not having enough time

[@NatiiixLP]

This was the stupidest attempt to cheat in osu! that I'd ever heard of. How anyone, for a mere second, thought that Fia wasn't an alt account is absolutely beyond me. This was the most obvious case of multi-accounting I've ever seen. The bizarre play-style and everything else only made it more obvious, but it would have been clear anyway. It's hilarious that it took so long to figure out.
