A pro and streamer allegedly cheated in Call of Duty: Warzone. So he resorts to maximum transparency to refute the allegations.

The cheater issue in Call of Duty: Warzone is bearing increasingly strange fruit. Warzone pro and streamer Charles “MuTeX” Saouma is resorting to desperate measures to prove his innocence. Allegedly, the pro uses frowned-upon third-party software that facilitates cheating.

But he won’t let that go: Now MuTeX has five cameras running during his stream. He hopes to be able to refute the serious accusations. However, he seems to be getting himself even deeper into trouble with his attempts.

What happened?

MuTeX was previously accused of using the tool “Cronus” by the Youtuber “BadBoy Beaman”, who specialises in cheaters. The software is designed for gamepad players and facilitates cheats by allowing scripts to be integrated. In most competitive formats of CoD: Warzone, Cronus is therefore banned.

BadBoy Beaman claims to have found evidence: This is how Cronus was seen on MuTeX’s packed desktop, as BadBoy Beaman documents in this video:

The accused is now trying with growing desperation to refute the accusations. In a video, MuTeX explains that he hasn’t used Cronus for years – it’s just a leftover from previous LAN tournaments where the tool was allowed.

In another video he shows how he deletes Cronus from his hard drive. In the process, however, the next mishap apparently happens, because in his software directory you can also see the installation date, which is in March 2021.

This would be in direct contradiction to his statement that he has had the software on his hard drive for years. An update is also said not to have been able to update this entry, as the Cronus Pro used has not received a new version since 2018.

Youtuber BadBoy Beaman lays all this out in his second video:

A decision on the question of whether the streamer cheated or not remains open in the end. So far, neither side is willing to row back or admit wrongdoing.

What do you think? Do you think MuTeX is cheating or at least has made a mistake, or do you see no violation just because there is unauthorised software on the hard drive? Feel free to write us your opinion in the comments!
