Yesterday, Charlie “MuTeX” Saouma, a Call of Duty The Twitch streamer with over 600,000 subscribers broadcast an unusual livestream. While he was playing Call of Duty War Zone, as he often does, this time he had set up five different camera angles, each pointing to different parts of his game setup. All of this was done to combat recent rumors and accusations that Saouma cheated in Call of Duty.
Saouma, who has already played Call of Duty professionally, was accused of cheating by YouTuber BadBoy Beamen in a video posted on July 7. In the short video, BadBoy Beamen points out some evidence that he says proves Saouma uses a Cronus, a device that uses a specific program to load scripts that alter controller inputs. This led more and more people to claim that Saouma was cheating.
Saouma rejected against these claims via a short video on Twitter where he admitted that he actually had the software on his PC. But he claimed it was a leftover from the days he played Call of Duty: WWII professionally. According to Saouma, many other pros used the Cronus device during these tournaments because they offered a better controller-to-PC connection than the devices provided by the event organizers. He also said that Cronus devices have a “tournament mode”Which disables features that provide an unfair advantage, like the ability to perform blazingly fast drop shots or activate sticky aim.
However, in another video from BadBoy Beamen downloaded yesterday, Saouma has faced more accusations of cheating and lying. BadBoy used images and screenshots from a recent feed where Saouma showed himself removing the software. But during this stream, as BadBoy pointed out, you can see that Saouma had Cronus installed on his current PC this year. This seems to contradict Saouma’s claims that the software and the device were a remnant of his. the Second World War pro days. (VSall WWII duty was released in 2017.) This new video has led to even more people pressuring the streamer to cheat in War zone.

So to fend off all these cheating allegations, Saouma set up a five-way camera. live broadcast late July 8. The angles of five cameras showed his PC, controller, face, monitors, and the overall layout of his office. He also spent nearly 20 minutes at the start of the stream showing off his setup, explaining how he plays using a PS5 controller, and refuting claims he recently installed Cronus. And for some, it was enough. For others on the Internet, it was not. Maybe 10 cameras could do the trick?
