Have you ever met someone in a random Overwatch match and been absolutely certain that they must be cheating, that no one is that good? That’s exactly what happened to a 17-year-old Korean player who goes by the handle of Gegury. Only she wasn’t in a random match; she was playing in the qualifying rounds of a championship, and she was reported by her opponents, who were certain that she was too good and had to be cheating somehow.
As it turns out, no, she didn’t have to be cheating. She was just that good at playing Zarya (you can find that out in the video down below). Gegury has been cleared of any allegations of wrongdoing, although not before some of her accusers threw tantrums, harassed her, and ragequit when it turned out she was just better than they were. [Update: Apparently, some of her accusers, including the one who threatened to knife her, have apologized and left the e-sport.]
We all eagerly await when the South Korean government gives her a stompy robot in the video-games-as-training-for-war scenario that would be deeply fitting under the circumstances.
