Speaking of impersonation and cheating, I saw this was kind of funny to me. Dr. Lupo, bro, this guy? Oh, my God. Okay, okay. All right, all right. We got to. This is the most embarrassing fucking shit that I've seen. Is it dirty cheater? Yeah, he's a lion-ass bitch. So what he was lying about is that it turns out that somebody did an investigation into this. And not only is he not a doctor, but he also. He also cheats at chess.

So Dr. Lupo recently was in a chess tournament called Pog Champs. Now, this has been going on for years. I'm not really a big chess fan. I mean, who doesn't like chess? I think it's a nice game. But it's just not something that's particularly interesting to me, right? That's just the way I am. And so anyway, Dr. Lupo, of course, is in this event because he's one of the good boys.

Well, that's what they thought. Anyway, so Dr. Lupo, of course, of course cheated. Absolutely cheated. And so anyway, how did people find out that he was cheating? Let me go back. I'm going to see if I can find this real quick and get it all put up here. Okay, and so Dr. Lupo blatantly cheats and pog champs 100K prize pool by playing every single engine move after hanging his queen.

So an engine, so just so you guys can understand. and make sure that we're all on the same page here. What happened is that, so chess is a game that is effectively solved by computers. And because it's solved by computers, you could have a computer simulate a, you know, like the best move to do and the next best move to do and infinitely many best moves to do in the future, right? Because that's the way that machines work. And anyway, Dr. Lupo saw this and he decided to use it in the tournament. So basically, for anybody who doesn't understand chess to make it simpler, he was aim-bodding.

He was aim-bodied in the game. And it wasn't just like, this isn't like aim-bodying where it's like kind of, you know, there's a bit of magnetism, right? No, bro, this is like like fucking 100% headshot hit rate, you know? That's messed up. Yeah, and this is the guy too. Keep in mind, this guy took a deal from YouTube to stream exclusively on YouTube. And let's take a look and see how that went. I think he's still doing kind of a, man, not really, actually, not really doing so good.

And so anyway, it massively damaged his career. It basically killed it, or at least to put it on life support. And, you know, again, I don't really dislike Dr. Lupo. I don't really hate the guy, but you can't argue with the numbers. This is just what the numbers say. I'm not. What the fuck do you want me to say? And so anyway, Dr. Lupo took a bunch of money from YouTube, and I remember him saying that he took the money because it was old.

He moved over to YouTube, excuse me, I got ahead of myself. He moved over to YouTube and streamed exclusively on YouTube because of the money. He straight up said it, and people said back then, that's respectable that he said this. And I was one of those people. You got to respect it. You know, you just lay it out there and you say, yeah, bro, they gave me a lot of money. I'm going to do it. That's respectable.

But anyway, so that's what happened with him. And so this guy does like money. But apparently he didn't have enough. Because in a $100,000 tournament, he decided to effectively use a cheat engine or a chess engine to perfectly calculate the correct move. And so let's go ahead and let's take a look at some of these clips here and we're going to find out. Is that a crime where there's money? I don't care. What is he going to go to jail?

He's not going to go to jail. We're just like Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, I guess I guess this time Oh no Wait, did he just lose the Wait, isn't that the good one? Wait, so he moved this one

Well, why wouldn't he just move this one up? He should have moved this one What the hell is he thinking? Yeah, duh, like, what the fuck? Why would you do that? Yeah, I don't get it. lose easy. Yeah, he's, he's cosplaying your beard. Yeah, I mean, fuck, you could do like five other fucking things. Like, I don't even play chess and I feel like that was a better idea. But anyway,

you know, we're not going to backseat too much. But anyway, he wasn't thinking that was a problem. Well, why would he need to think? He had the machine to do it for him. So anyway, um, let's go ahead. We'll look at the rest of this, okay. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, I guess. I guess this time. Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, no. You lost your big piece. That's the elite piece. Oh, that's bad. I wasn't paying any attention, man.

Yep. I, uh, I, I have so. He fell for that, dude. Well, that's okay. That's okay. Just turn it on. Just turn it on, man. Turn it on.

Get that guy, get, get this one right here. You just get, use like the castle and get this one. Use rage. Yeah, I'm sorry. Y'all can't really see. Okay, so he's, thinking about it. He doesn't know what to do. I'm flustered now.

And so now basically he got the cheats on, right? He going in and trying to... See it every single time. Trying to go and play with this whole fucking, this engine thing, right? Gotham... A Gotham chest explains it better. Let me see if I can find it right here. Cheating for 100K? Yeah, this is a 100K tournament.

Cheat. Let me see I can find this. Gotham chess. Cheating situation is crazy. And so, anyway, here's what's really funny about it, too, is that he went out and he was saying that he got the moves from his chat. And so I go ahead and I'll read this one and look at this one with you guys too so you can hear what he's saying. Because it wasn't him that was doing it.

It was this chat that was doing it. I really do respect that you owned up to it. Can you comment on whether it? You respect you owned up to it. I mean, I respect if you owned up to it, you didn't just lie again for sure, bro. But the thing is respecting somebody owned up to. It. You didn't own up to it. You got caught red-handed. You had your hand in the cookie jar. Everybody knew it was in the cookie jar. They got you in 4K. Everybody saw you. And you had to own up to it. You didn't own up to it. You got owned and you acknowledged it. That's it. What are you talking about owning up to it? What is this?

engine or not. So when I post on Twitter about it, at that point I come clean. And whether you believe that or not, that's fine. So, okay, so this is,

let me, we can go, we can't get this any farther. And so, so anyway, he went, actually, let me finish this.

Ultimately, the moves, I'm assuming then, came from a cheat engine because if they were 26 perfect, yeah. Ah, geez, where did I,

Oh, wow. I guess, A, who installed this on my computer? I guess it's my chat. And so, oh, geez, dude. Like, what could it be? So you had to be sourced from that. Yeah, I had to be sourced. Yeah, I bet it was.

Yeah, it's just... What are you plan to do as a content creator to remedy this aside from therapy you mentioned? As a content creator, well, I genuinely apologize. And we'll continue to do that because I am sorry. and I'll take care of myself off stream because that's part of me, man. I don't know why you can't just be like, yeah, guys, I had an ego about it, I was a roach, I cheated, it's embarrassing, it's cringe, my bad, yeah, sorry, oops.

You know, why can't you just do that, right? And because, no, it's ego, it is, he's ego maxing. See, chess is one of those games. See, we had this problem in school. So, we did an OTK show back in the day. called schooled. And anyway, a lot of people that join the show, let me see if I can show this. All right, schooled, schooled, Ms. Kiff cheating. Okay, so Ms. Kiff addresses that, that's EE, now, by the way, this guy's a friend of the stream now. Yeah, he did cheat in the show,

but I really like him, so no hate for this guy at all. But the other ones that cheated, fuck them, fuck them. They're terrible people. They're awful. But this guy's fine. Anyway, we had so many people cheating in this tournament. We had so many people cheating. And the reason why is because they don't want to look stupid. That's the reason why. That's why they do it.

Is that chess is a game that people who think that they're, people think is like a smart man's game. So because they think it's a smart man's game, they want to look like they're smart. So that's the reason, right? And it's the same thing with shit like trivia, right? And you saw people like, like Destiny, you know, Destiny, I might not agree with Destiny on a lot of things, but he not stupid. Destiny played school, he got knocked out real quick, right?

And so like people that, and Northern Lion even got knocked out, like, that's just what happens, right? And so it's the people that are, that, you know, they're a little bit self-conscious about being called stupid maybe, right? They're a little bit embarrassed about it. And so anyway, this is what happens. And true, but in reality, it's more of a memory game. Well, everything's a memory game to an extent, but at least all of these things. So chess is a game where you, you know, if you're good at it,

you appear to be smart. Same with trivia. So that's the reason why people cheat in these games. They're not even cheating. Lupo isn't even cheating for the money, probably. I mean, I'm sure to an extent he cares about that, but this is like a second order of, this is like a second order. This is like a second effect, right?

It's beside the point. The point is looking smart. Same with Rubik's Cube. Yeah, exactly. You made the chat for your apology. Someone is wild. Farm views of this conversation. Okay.

Allow me to change that. Oh. I've had it in sub-only mode for on YouTube for forever, but it is off now. Fire away. Uh-oh. This guy says weirdo.

Baba booie. It's clear as a glass of water. You broke my heart. Oh man. Is out here something like a disgruntled ex-girlfriend? I mean, look, bro, like, if you roll out a fucking bot to cheat and, dude, can you imagine how big it would be? Okay, think about it like this. If I join a Valorant tournament and I aim bot in the tournament, everybody would be like, this is the most pathetic, embarrassing shit that,

Nobody's, like, this is insane. It's, it's embarrassing. It's sad. And so everybody would see it. It would be everywhere. Everybody would be talking about this. So, and the thing is, this is even worse than aimbody. It is.

And the reason why Lupo thinks that it was okay is that this is a Dunning Kruger thing, where he knows so little about chess that he thinks that he could get away with cheating on such an elite level. So that's what happened, right? because he knew so little about it, he thought this would be the right option. And I'm not an expert in chess at all. I didn't fucking know this, but I could have kind of guessed. I certainly would have cheated, but there it is. Like the Elon P.O.E. Drama?

Yeah, yeah, it's kind of like that. And anyway, so he's saying that he still got the moves from his chat. And he even goes, and he's saying it on Twitter, too. Let me see if I can find this. Where is it? Um So he says, I fucked up. Okay, here it is.

Here it is. All right, let's watch it. And oh, oh, actually, before I do this, I want to pull up his account itself. Okay. So he says, regarding the chess, uh, the tournament, um, uh, the Paulchamp tournament, I had a ton of fun playing. I decided to drop out of the event to help maintain competitive integrity for those involved. I decided to drop out.

You decided to drop out because you were, you were caught. cheating. You are caught cheating in a tournament for $100,000. Blatently. And you know so little about the game that you thought that you wouldn't get caught. Right, right, as well as the tournament organizers, of course. Yeah, you're helping them out, right? He's trying to help. Guys, you have to understand that he's trying to help out. He cares about the integrity of the tournament, right? And because he cares about the integrity of the tournament, he's obviously going to try to do whatever he can.

Jesus Christ. Okay, anyway, having to mainstream up on my left monitor over the course of the day today, to watch other games being played led me to getting more information that I shouldn't have had for a game. This is intentionally ambiguous. That's on me and no one else. It's my fuck-up. I apologize. You'd think I would know better, but here we are.

Here we are. And so anyway, Ludwig says streets say it was an engine or are the streets keeping at 99. And Dr. Lupo directly lies to Ludwig and says, no, it was anal beads. Bro doesn't realize that chat was giving him engine moves. Oh, I'm assuming that was the case. So it wasn't an engine, but it probably was an engine, and in fact, actually it is.

And so anyway, anal beads drama over and over. Well, no, this isn't anal beads drama. This is like a five-year-old getting caught with his hand in a cookie jar when, like, you've got the nanny cam on, and then you played the video in front of him, in front of the TV, and he's like, that's what this is like. Okay? Like, it's a totally different thing. Yeah, he's caught in 4K. This is 100% different. Perfect analogy, yes. And so anyway, he apparently, let's go ahead. Let's watch this too. Okay, here we go. I always find this stuff to be very entertaining. I know, like, I also want to say, like, I think it's absolutely a roach move for him to do this. And it's definitely an insult to the intelligence of everybody in the community that he thinks that people are so stupid that they're not going to realize that you were using. effectively an aimbot in order to play the game and you were just in fact doing something that

was a little bit different you know like it's just it's so it's so disrespectful to like the entire internet community that you think that people would be so stupid that they would believe your obvious lie but that's okay anyway let's go ahead and listen what he said what ended up happening uh i i betrayed the trust of the chess community i betrayed the trust of my chat. That's what I said. I lied directly to, I lied directly to Wolf. And so if somebody's, you see this, I'm sorry.

I got caught in a fight or flight moment and panicked and doubled down. The reason I'm saying this stuff is not because I'm like, I don't want sympathy. I don't need that. Actually, if anything, I told Mods to not censor anything in chats today because it's the only, I mean, I deserve it. I do. I absolutely deserve it. I fucked up. I fucked up and hurt people that were probably pretty excited to have a big creator in their space.

I'm sure they really appreciate you being there. At least used to be big. I've loved chess for a real long time, played when I was in middle school and high school. Yeah. And I am appalled and embarrassed. It's funny too, because I'm the, I'm the Tarkov guy that's always very anti-cheater, right? And then, of course... Three thousand years ago, there was a Fall Guys Twitch tournament.

And XQC stream-sniped Dr. Lupo in the tournament after XQC got kicked off of the tournament. He lost. If Lupo wanted to report it, there is a chance that he could get banned for it. I just think he's waiting for pug. I think Lupo's too nice of a guy. That's actually kind of fucked up. Wait, wait, what are you guys watching? He's literally holding.

I saw this live. I remember the day this happened. This is where I bust the wide fucking right. Yep. Why? So, Dude, that's. You jump here.

I remember this very well. So. I get it if it's not for money or anything, but like when it's for money? Like, what? Like, what? I know, man. And so anyway, this happened, what was it, four years ago? And I was here.

I remember the day this happened. I remember when he got banned. I remember everything about this. XQC got banned for an entire week for this. He got banned. Like, he, bro, I remember he had to sit this suspension, and he kept posting photos of him just, like, standing in an empty room with, like, furniture looking at a wall for, like, three days in a row until he came back, right? Got fair punishment. Yes, I remember that.

Yes, of course. And it was really fucking funny. But at the same time, and if you go back and you look at this, if there's a chance that, um, streamers reactions to XQC stream sniping and fall guys, Oh, this is me. Okay, so what did I say about it all the way back then? This is fuck. That is unbelievable, dude. Let me see if I could find it. Came into my fucking shimmer.

Oh my god, did you... Did you see... I cheated fall guys? And it's like, listen, I'm gonna be honest. People are so dramatic about it. The thing is like, yeah, here's the thing. Like... Yeah, it's a dick thing to do to cheat in the game and stream snipe the other guy.

But the other guy was getting free wins. Like, they were giving him free wins. And so... I forgot about this. I totally forgot about that. Yeah, he had his viewers queuing in to let him win. I totally... Like, yes.

Okay, so it even goes deeper than what I remembered. Oh, my God. Wrong set of history. Exactly. Yes. So it was inside our trinity. Yes, exactly. What a twist.

Yes. and you look so much like your party is that right and his fans are waiting at the finish line yes I totally forgot about that and anyway I was like okay well this is obviously like you know you had to get suspended for it switches rules right and XQC had to apologize for it and everything so just keep all of this in mind when you're watching this video okay

since the person that's so loud and vocal about it that turns around and ends up doing it yeah it sucks It's bad that you cheated, that's true. I want to make sure it's clear, too. I don't have like a script or anything. This is mostly just me talking about. It doesn't matter if you have a script. Anybody who thinks that making a script for making an apology is disingenuous is retarded.

If you're talking about something that's stressful and serious for you, you're going to want to write it down to make sure that you don't mess anything up because you could be nervous. There's nothing wrong with writing a script for any sort of a conversation like this. My head, because I wanted to make sure that you understood I'm not trying to like, I didn't chat GPT or pre-write something. I thought a lot about it. Well, what if he did, though? What if

because, like, he said he didn't use the engine to cheat in chess. And that was a lie. So, what if he actually did use chat GPT? Because he named a specific AI. He didn't just say AI, right? He said chat GPT.

That's very interesting. He used the apology engine. Yeah, exactly. Maybe he cheated in his apology too. It's very interesting. About what to say, but I don't want to write anything because I want to make sure that you understood that I was being genuine. You could see why they would say that.

You know, and AI would say that. Recognize, too, that by betraying your trust, because I lied to you guys too, you know, the people that watch me, obviously there's be people that are going to be flowing in and saying all sorts of stuff all day. Yeah. I deserve it. It's fine. Let it go.

Right. Nobody that watches me has to defend. I'm a 38-year-old man. Yep. And I, of all the places to do what I did, I did it in, in a tournament for a game that... For $100,000. I very much enjoy. And it was dumb as fuck, man.

So yeah. So he doesn't... I'm sorry. He never even admits... It's okay. Like I said before, I cheated and then lied about it. and paying the price, man. Yep.

We're probably going to take a break out of this. Hopefully, I'm good. Yep. Hopefully, um, there's continues in this game when it comes out because fuck. He did mention he used the engine on stream. Okay, that's good. I'm glad about that.

He just came out with it. He's been accused of cheating. He did not. This is, you owned up to it. This is from yesterday. Um, I really do respect that you owned up to it.

can you comment on whether it was an engine or not? So when I posts on Twitter about it, at that point I come clean. And whether you believe that or not, that's fine. I come clean, right? And you could see, obviously, because he's the kind of guy that lies without lying, right? And anyway, that's clearly what it is.

Let's see. Okay, he used an engine, not chat to sheet. Okay. It sucks that I fucked up. And I, I, I, I, deserve 100% I deserve 100% of what people are saying using the engine to

to because people everybody said like saying that you got the messages from chat is so stupid because everybody can just go and watch the stream and see the chat replay

and so they did and the messages weren't in chat come on fix my own fragility is fucking pathetic. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Yep.

There it is, right? There it is. Cheats is not even about cheating. Surely once you get caught, you just admit straight away, but you eventually enjoy this dream a few years ago, but I didn't follow him for years. Hearing the whole story was kind of sad. Guys, guys, some people take this so seriously.

Can we please just dial this to the fuck back? nobody actually cares about cheating in some chess tournament and a viz it's some fuck of your this just funny like i'm sorry like this is just fucking funny and pathetic like why can't we just have a little bit of fun okay yeah it's $100,000 yeah but he didn't win the money and like yeah no it's bad right i don't know i've had plenty of people like i don't think it's really like oh wow somebody's scamming for money this is the first time it's happened i don't know i just just don't really give a shit that much. But it's obviously bad. He could have, though. That's the issue. Ah, you're right. Okay. All right. All right. You're right. But I don't, personally, I just view this as entertainment. I do. I don't get personally really upset about it. But I do think that he's a fake nice guy. Wouldn't be shocked of his whole persona as a lie. I don't know about that. But like, you know, once somebody and this is what happened, who does this remind you of? You know it. I know it. Everybody knows it. Who does it remind you of? Pirate software. That's right. And yes, pirate software.

And the problem is that once, so this is one thing, and this is the reason why, like, I don't have this kind of a, like a persona on the internet, is that, like, a lot of people put on this, like, kind of fake, nice guy persona of, like, being every man, being reasonable, et cetera. And everybody, you know, always having, like, the right takes on things, you know, all that. And, like, you know, never speaking about a controversial topic until 90% of people agree in one direction. and then making a brave take about, you know, like the fact that you also share the same viewpoint that the 90% of people share. You know, like that's the kind of stuff that people like this do. So the moment that a person like that, there is one crack in the facade, the entire damn breaks loose. And that's what happens with somebody like pirate. It's what happens with somebody like Lupo.

It's what happens with a lot of these people. Because people, and I think this is another reason. everybody fucking hates the you know like goody two shoes I'm the good guy I'm always doing the right thing

you know like you know look at me as the right guy right being lied to also yeah it's like there's just something about that like to me personally I hate it I hate it I hate it and so whenever I see somebody do something like this it is extremely vindicating for me

because a lot of these kinds of people are always the ones that that hate on me, right? Not in this case, and I like, I like Thor. I think Thor is a nice guy. You know, I think honestly, like, I don't think it was really that big of a deal, right, with the, you know, the wow stuff. But at the same time, you know, other people don't view it the same way. I'm going to have a different opinion about everybody. Did Pirate cheat? People said he did in other video games, but I don't know. Anyway, it wasn't, pirate guys, pirate was nothing even remotely as close as bad as Lupo, okay? Not even within one one-100th. Well, actually, here's a better,

example, not even within one one hundred thousandth. And so anyway, so that's what happened. And anyway, he came out, he apologized for it. You know, obviously, you know, it's just, there's nothing else that you really can do at this point. Cool. So when is Twitch going to ban him? So should Twitch ban Dr. Lupo for cheating in this tournament? Unequivocally, yes. There is literally no gray area on this topic whatsoever. Cheating in a tournament. Let me just go ahead. Twitch, TOS, cheating in online game. Twitch's cheating rules. So Twitch's terms of service and community guidelines prohibit cheating as it violates the principles of fair play and can disrupt the gaming experience for others.

Violation including cheating can result in various enforcement actions, including temporary and permanent suspensions, depending on the severity and frequency of the offense. Now, what do you think the severity is of cheating in a 100,000? tournament. I would say that's pretty bad. I would. I'd say that's really bad. I think I don't want him permut, okay? I don't want him permit. There's no reason to perm him. Just give him like a seven day, a two week, a 30 day, and be done with it, right? I think that's reasonable, right? I am the most merciful person. Actually, I can't even meme that. No, I'm not. But even I realized that, The purruban is too much. Yeah, no. That's it.

ExQC got two weeks. He got one week, okay? But same thing, right? He did get, yeah, if he cheats the third time. Yeah, exactly. Give him the XQC treatment, seven-day ban, timeout? Yeah, exactly. I think that's fair. It's equivalent exchange.

And so anyway, yeah, now he has fully admitted to it, and that's pretty much what's happened. It's the drama of the day. I think it's kind of entertaining to see this happen. But he did just, again, undeniably, the rules of the website. There is no gray area in this. There is no maybe in this.

There is no possibility in this. There is no, oh, but what about? No. It is absolutely plain and simple, night and day, black and white, obvious that cheating should get you suspended on the website. Will Dr. Lupo get suspended? He should. He should.

Because he was cheating and that breaks the rules. That's it. That's what happened. if you break the rules. Rules and rules. Exactly. And I, by the way, I don't care. You've got to keep in mind, okay? Do you really think that I care about

what some weirdo in California wrote up as the Twitch terms of service? I don't give a fuck what they say. But I agree with this rule and I think that you need to punish people that are cheating on the website because it's fucking cringe. I don't really care about the rules,

but I care about them when I agree with them. And I do agree with them in this circumstance. So the rules are right. That's it. Yeah, make an example. Exactly. What about cheating in a single player game? No, that's not it. It's an unfair advantage. Definition of cheating. Twitch defines cheating and gaining an unfair advantage in an online multiplayer game. Online multiplayer game. You can't cheat in a single player game. Okay? You can't. Unless, actually that's not true, unless you use summons in Dark Souls. That's the one way that you can cheat in a single player game, but besides that, no. There's no other way to do it.

But, yeah, unless you're doing a speed run. Yes, clearly, right? And what about speed running? No, that's all part of the game. That's normal. And yes, that's it. And anyway, so that's pretty much what happened. I thought this was pretty funny, you know, like funny, a little bit of drama. He got banned from Chess.com. Dr. Lupo's been closed for fair play violation, wish him the best. And there it is, right? You know, sometimes you get it. Sometimes you get God.
