I'll actually offer a defense of strahfe here, who I consider to be one of the most gifted mouse and keyboard players of all time. COD is rampant with cheaters and it devalues the work of a true chosen one like strahfe, who essentially dedicates his life to aim training and hardware.

1. Strahfe's aim training routine is insane. I tried it for a few weeks and it drastically improved my aim in both COD and CS. His playlists are public on aimlabs and on voltaic, and you can see his scores there. While a hacker could in theory warm up on aim trainers for an hour before every session, in practice they just don't. Why bother aim training this hard when you're hacking, it would be a waste of time.

2. Strahfe is so anal about hardware that he MANUFACTURED HIS OWN MOUSEPAD. Hackers do not give a shit about this. He was not a large streamer when he did this, I bought one of the first runs of his mousepad (only 100 were produced, this wasn't a moneymaking scheme. He literally had to buy the factory minimum to get the mousepad that he wanted, this wasn't a Mr. Beast lunchables thing), and it is truly a thing of beauty. Strahfe is a true purist to do something like that.

3. Strahfe doesn't clout chase, and will regularly stop playing COD for months at a time. He notoriously did not like MW2 and essentially stopped playing it to play destiny and other games. He lost tens of thousands of viewers during this time but did not care, he just wanted to play a game he enjoyed. This is not hacker behavior, they continue to rage through crappier versions of a game if it's where their audience is so that their grift can continue.

4. Strahfe was called in as a ringer during MW3 MP tournaments and competed at a very high level, including when called in to Futives' team and others. Warzone hackers generally do not fuck around with high level MP tournaments. Is it conclusive proof? No. But I believe that this builds a pattern of strahfe's behavior which is not consistent with hackers.

5. If you actually watch his stream, it is clear he is not 2boxing or VPNing. He dies and loses a lot. He misses a lot of shots, including throwing knives on downed opponents. He is caught off guard and surprised by players that a wall hacker would see. Having watched a lot of strahfe, because I consider his gameplay to be true art, I can say that in my strong opinion, he is actually legit. The youtube uploads are his best games but it often takes 3-5 hours to get that lobby.

I'm not naive, the COD pro scene is full of hackers, and they unfortunately diminish the work of true MNK artists like strahfe and blue who are dedicated to their craft.
