Prior to YouTuber IShowSpeed gets noticed for his toxicity, Jake Lucky, an e-sports commentator and person responsible for highlighting Speed’s behavior, is also under public scrutiny. Lucky, who tried to defend an allegation Call of Duty: Warzone hacker with a lie detector test, has been criticized for refusing to share the results, leading people to question the legitimacy of the larger digital media brand Lucky, Team game.
The catalyst of the situation happened last month, when it was coming Battlefield pro Damien “ShiftyTV” Spirrell accused by former pundit Rasim “Blazt” Ogresevic using aimbot during the $100,000 Caldera Challenge tournament on March 8 (as reported by Dexerto). Some Call of Duty players, including professional Jordan “HusKerrs” Thomasand a TikTok video editor called Judge Jutey, the clips ShiftyTV has posted quickly knocks out competitors with what they claim is impeccable accuracy. ShiftyTV didn’t win, coming in third in the tournament, but he did highest death rate between the participants. Many people have convinced that because his shots are so precise, ShiftyTV must have been hack. To prove his innocence, ShiftyTV downloaded FACEIT anti-cheat system It wasn’t long before the charges surfaced, but his death rate took a hit. The result is, Call of Duty streamer ScummN and others showed off the skills of ShiftyTV.
Enter Jake Lucky, who, after coming across hacking allegations, went directly to ShiftyTV on April 5 to play on supervised PC in an attempt to prove he’s a good Battlefield player without an aimbot. Lucky and his co-host Grady Rains even invited John Grogan, a multigraph appraiser (that is, scam label of the late FBI Polygraph Unit agent Jack Trimarco) and television personality known for appearances on shows like Dr. Phil and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. All these professionals are meant to come together for a purpose”hacking exam“Let ShiftyTV do it live, in front of an audience and perhaps prove its innocence.
While Lucky preceded the show with lots of disclaimers about sophisticated hacking methods and the difficulty of actually disproving everything, the plan didn’t go well. Lucky and Rains, with ShiftyTV playing on their neutral PC, pause their April 5 performance like multigraph examiner Grogan looking at the results of a polygraph test. Viewers, aware of Grogan’s sketchy history, blasted the conversation with questions about whether the results were accurate. The YouTube and Twitch streams were then taken offline and the VODs removed. You can’t watch the entire broadcast anywhere now. So any decision on whether ShiftyTV is a hack or not has been shelved because, as Lucky tweeted later that day, he “didn’t feel comfortable” sharing the test results.
Online discourse explodes, with some Lucky and Rains pardoning “Mistakes“While others recommend them”more research“Before trying prove or disprove someone’s innocence. Some even be censured Full Squad Gaming to act like but not really journalist.
This whole incident is odd, especially when Lucky admits in an April 5 video exaggerating ShiftyTV’s appearance that there’s no way for them to “100% confirm or deny if ShiftyTV is hacking.” He even goes as far as to say that it is “nearly impossible to really make a precise decision on play alone.” Hence, why did they bring in Grogan, who was supposed to be a convict”polylinear parasites, ” To test the courage in speech of ShiftyTV with a lie detector. That way, the line between entertainment and serious journalism and research was blurred: viewers were asked to think of the participants of the live stream as professionals with an asterisk. But if there’s no way to address the authenticity of ShiftyTV’s behavior, what are we doing here? And if the test results are not shared, how do people put their trust in Full Squad Gaming?
