The Legend of Valorant’s Stupidest Cheating Scandal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лис 2023
- With some big names coming from CS:GO, everyone expected T1 to be a top North American Valorant team.
Instead, the team essentially folded because of the two words that their coach supposedly accidentally typed in all-chat - "help sewer."
And they never heard the end of it.

No matter if its Counter-Strike or Valorant, Steel is always involved in some cheating scandal
once a cheater, always a cheater.
once a liar, always a liar.
@@kudohlol9379 ive honestly always thought this. i get it, its been almost ten years since the IBP scandal happened, but it really seemed as if people brushed it off really quickly. its also really weird that he just so happens to be involved in this one.
People usually dont change, they just learn when to be who they really were in the first place. @@emilianorosario5935
@@emilianorosario5935People brushed it off so quickly because the same incident happened in Dota, but they reverted lifetime to 1 or 2 years around the same time of the IBP bans.
It sucks, but they still deserve it. If anything, the only person that probably should have gotten a second chance would be swag. But still, they made their bed.
What do you expect from jews?
Imagine sullying the name of T1. Just about everyone in Esports knows Faker and T1, it doesnt matter what game theyre playing, and to cheat on that organization? Their coach definitely needs help after being thrown in the sewers.
I can't tell if this is a joke or not cause I've watched eSports for 10 years and never heard of either...
really? faker is probably the most player in all of league of legends esports and ti is the team he plays for@@evelynsahoe8896
@@evelynsahoe8896 then you're a poser who only probably watched because of hype. LOL
@@tenshinryuu6584or, and hear me out here, he doesn’t watch lol? 😂
@@tenshinryuu6584 they have a League of legends and Valorant team... if I don't play those games why would I know who they are 😂😂😂 TSM, Fnatic, Cloud 9, Team Liquid, NIP, etc all have way more teams and tons more name recognition.
the funniest bit about this drama was T1's tweet about it being tweeted out on a damn iPad
theres so many small things that made this so much funnier, steel streaming after it and everyone making jokes, steel somehow being involved, the T1 apology tweet being from an IPad, the community jokes that strung up, the fact that all dude said was Help Sewer and TSM players crying about it on twitter as the match was happening, T1 falling so hard after. sad for a few players but an almost comedic show to look back on
Wait, why does the coach even have access to all-chat during the non-timeout parts of the match?
The more important question is why he's able to access team chat too
You've never played customs in VCT format, have you?@@ahmedbenlahrech5352
Everyone, including coaches, can still type in tournament mode. In my experience, coaches can type in all-chat to call for tech pauses on their end or something like that but it's reserved usually only for emergencies.
some things don't change. When you come from CS, some shit comes along and stays.
Old habits die hard.
NA will always be NA

I watched this comeback half-wasted at 6:00 AM on a Sunday.
We were partying on a Saturday night at my friend's. Tho I kept myself sober to watch the match which started 2:00 AM in our time. I had a bottle of brandy during the first 2 maps, so when FNC went 2-0, I already let myself fall asleep on the couch. After a while, I've been woken up by the sound of the crowd and casters as Loud goes 9-3 on Icebox. I was astounded that it went to Map 5 and accepted that FNC was about to lose. My head aches and fell asleep for a couple minutes but the casters are still going at it. So I wondered what was happening... I opened my eyes to an 11-6 score and Loud's eco were crashing! I immediately stood up and got a cup of coffee while witnessing history.
The way shouldn’t even be named T1, they tarnish the demon kings name.
good old days when tsm started to fall off😭😭 and the memes were hot
Funny that it was wardell who posted the infamous tweet now too. Like the curse was handed off to him or something. Now hes broke from a NFT/crypto scam, washed from any relative teams and scandaled up for stream sniping radiant/immortal lobbies.
no way
wonder what the team chat logs are like
Crazy that you guys found my "help sewers" cellphone video hah
HELP SEWERS!
The irony now of Wardell making that tweet, considering he just got called out for streamsniping Tarik.
Back when wardell actually cared about cheating
Now he queues with cheaters XD
damn, these ads in the beginning hurt physically
Sad that this team had like my favorite players. seven, curry, and steel
THE END CARD LMFAO
Do you know what would have make things easier to figure out? A replay system Because oh my god how long are we going to have to wait to get one
The technology just isn't there yet.
@@Ljrobisonyeah, and the game is made by a small indie music company
@@Ljrobison most other esport titles have replay systems?
@@mushovers3006 Cs:go, league, r6 siege, these all have replay systems.
@@mushovers3006 I hope this is a joke lmfao
Where "twitter from ipad" moment tho
Moving Like internet explorer
I'm surprised that the team members weren't permabanned from ever playing Valorant as well... I thought that Riot would safely assume they were all in cahoots with the coach and be punished accordingly
Yeah why is the coach the only one getting the stick here? Shouldn't the players of the team be investigated? If he sent one message on the all-chat who knows wtf they were talking outside of that.
They probably investigated it and found there were no messages in team chat outside timeouts. That was probably what they had tech paused for. This was my first thought also
@@Tizzer123boya That would be fair enough, but in cases like these, it wouldn't be unusual to make a follow-up investigation to the rest of the team
The desperation of Valorant to bring in scum to play in PL will be its downfall. At this point it wouldn't surprise me if they allowed ex Optic India's forsaken, seeing how they're fine with having the second most notorious professional CSGO cheater play in the VCTs. And even after this scandal hes still allowed to compete.
@@hc32313are you talking about f0rsaken
Its so good seeing josh again
When you ran out of content, you milk old content
Man I miss seven
Video starts at 3:58 guys.
ran of out content lets bring old ass scandal LMAO
God I miss icebox
It already back with some modifications
once a cheater always a cheater
Press F to help sewers.
did the head coach clarified what did he mean by that chat? cause he made his team dq'd for something that looks like totally unrelated to the match. 😂😂
sewer is a callout on split (the section that connects mid to A main)
It's a location callout on the map Split
oh ok. thanks for the info. not really a valorant player. 😅
why bring this up now
Because it's content? You don't need to immediately make a video about it when it happened. Anyone can make videos about anything regardless of time.
@@Drae_mon
how long all yall gonna milk this for
its old new tbh what you guys smoking bro
BUT CS2 CHEATING IS WORSE THAN THIS
considering this series is called ‘worth’, this story was definitely not worth telling 👍
the only W wardell has ever has was that 1 tweet other then that hes a trash human
im confused about how you make this whole video and don't actually explain the cs references for those of us who weren't around then
Lmfao Steel never change bruh
where is the cheating?
yo
vaLOLrant..
Riot esports have always been a joke. They play it way too safe for advertisers, and it makes the experience bland because its too "squeaky clean". They forced a coach to sit out of a finals because he flipped off the other team, and they lost to a 3-2 comeback because the coach wasn't able to reset the teams mental.
That's fair enough. It's still a professional setting, and they get paid to do these as their jobs. Coaches fault, gotta deal with the consequences. The want esports t be considered an actual sport, then their has to be a sense of professionalism that comes with it
@Tizzer123boya thats just wrong. 1. It ruins competitive integrity to remove the coach, and 2. Shit talk is the blood of esports. Why do ufc and other fighting sports get to do it, and esports can't?
@Evan-xs8ts I think you are right in the sense that maybe they could have fined the team after the games as opposed to removing the coach for the match. I'd say smack talk is fine, it's good even. I think the extent to what they allow and disallow is because the target audiences is probably something like 13-30 for esport as opposed to something like combat sport. It's why stuff like football is so tight with their rules on swearing and gestures, even mouthing things that can be picked up on camera.
@@Evan-xs8ts There are teams sports that do not allow this behavior at all. Regardless. You flip of, or act disrespectful to teams, referees or anyone else while representing/working at a event. You are not allowed back for a certain amount of events. E.g. Rugby. This is not unusual, its is the norm in most sports. Repeated infractions can lead to bans for years. This has happened at world cups which only happen once every 4 years.
Im quick
first! :D
Stop asking me to like subscribe and ring the bell less than 60 seconds into your videos
I'm surprised I didn't make the video. I held up a Help Sewers sign at LoL worlds that made the broadcast for a full minute. Sounds selfish, but I was expecting a return on my investment lol
Quit asking for subs/likes BEFORE you give us any content. Do that at the end.
No the stupidest cheating scandal is Riot penalizing people at random for using a self boost that's easy to learn and doesn't feel like exploiting to use instead of just fixing the self boost so it doesn't work.
wow seven really dont know how to speak huh
This kind of stories are the only thing that makes Valorant even remotely interesting. Won't be surprised if they are all manufactured to make it seems like the game is not a snooze fest used as an excuse for Tencent to run spyware on people's pcs
Why tf you guys covering this now? You guys that dry for content feels bad man
Ppl think because valorant run on a kernel anticheat they think you can’t cheat at all on the game which just isn’t the case there’s a lot of undetectable things like auto hot key triggerbot and color soft aim basically making impossible to get banned by the anticheat since auto hot key is used for disabled people to re bind stuff ect it’s literally all comes down to a manual ban which rarely happens unless you’re vsing pros and being blatant funny enough theirs probably like 3-6 t2-t3 pros cheating as we speak in prob like every region don’t get me started bout gamechangers lmao don’t get me wrong if it’s not blatant cheating it’s ppl changing genders for the sheer fact that men are better at games simply because not only do they put in more time but their simply more competitive don’t get me wrong the theirs some really good gc players like mel ect but that tournament is just extremely exploited and all though it’s good to see females get opportunities to compete ppl just ruin it for all of them (don’t give me the non binary thing) I would say 99% of trans/ non binary people in that tournament are literally converting just to be able to play in that tournament against less skilled players for good money keenc really just exposed himself and alot of others without intentionally doing it
Also alot of private cheats are undectected for the sheer fact that theirs little to no keys to the cheat being distributed so it’s harder for riot devs to narrow it down and detect said cheats
I wouldn’t say valorant has more cheaters than csgo but valorant has significantly more closet cheaters than some might expect thing is you don’t get banned if you don’t get reported so majority make it look legit when in reality their probably esping and probably soft aiming on the lowest settings so it’s less sus spectating
A lot of games are getting riddled with cheaters and my question is why??? In valorant lans/tournaments you’re gonna get caught I can understand in a game like Fortnite since their tournaments are ingame barely any LANs and have money involved
But I don’t understand games like valorant csgo r6 since their either LANs or streamed games and don’t have money involved to the last grand finals and it’s basically impossible to go all the way to finals without getting detected wheiter that be by the tougher anticheat that LANs have or spectator feature where a few have gotten banned Through
God forbid if you cheat in a game for a rank you need genuinely psychiatric evaluation some grass touching and parents in there life
Kids don’t realise it’s only a rank beside ur name you’ll never make it anywhere with a rank nor would u get any statisfaction getting the rank whilst cheating
Pretty sure Esports as a whole is a joke. Every year someone scams, on multiple titles. You pretend gamers insult competition and whoever invests in this phenomenon is a joke Pro's have to cheat, someone has to cheat. Just face it, pro's kind of suck.
We need more of you in vids tbh.
