VALORANT Cheater Gets Banned While On Air After Deranking ShahZam
Some of them are shameless, aren’t they? After showing himself trying to install cheats on stream and allegedly failing to do so, a cheater got banned live on his Twitch channel. In a now-removed clip, the cheater could be seen to be walking around on the map Bind only to get locked out of his account with an error message displaying that he was indeed banned for cheating, thanking anti-cheat activist GamerDoc for getting him banned at the end of the clip.
The player had been Radiant on North American servers before he got banned and even got into a lobby playing against Sentinels’ professional player Shahzeeb "ShahZaM" Khan, beating him decisively and even causing the pro player to de-rank to Immortal 3.
While ShahZaM wasn’t only irritated by this specific match but a large amount of losses that day, his frustration still manifested on stream.
VALORANT had launched with the ambitious claim to come out with an industry-leading anti-cheat tool called Vanguard, which had received criticism for the intrusive nature of the programme. Here Vanguard appears to have done its job, albeit too late to help ShahZaM.
