Dendi suffers from a new kind of cheating by a streamsniper

Esportsman Danil 'Dendi' Ishutin, who also owns esports organization B8 Esports, has come across a new kind of cheating on a recent stream. Streamsnipers are accused of using unknown software.

Using the cheat leads to disconnection from the server of the opponent's team or allies. Previously, similar problems were not noticed. Dendi has already complained to Valve about this problem, but a solution has not yet been found.

Streamsniping is a targeted tracking of the actions of the opponent, which he broadcasts live. For example, on Twitch or YouTube. In the gaming community, an extremely negative attitude has formed towards this type of activity, since it is regarded as dishonest play and fraud. Also, among the popular types of fraud, bets on your own team or the opponent's team can be noted. For such actions, players receive serious punishment.

An example is the case of Alexey 'Solo' Berezin in 2013. The player bet against his team and earned $322. For this, Solo received a lifetime ban from StarLadder tournaments.
