It's quite common for professional video game players to get so consistently good at the games they are playing that getting the top score becomes more about luck than skill.

Sometimes this causes them to think that a game owes them a certain score/time (maybe they they pass all the hard 1 in 20 RNG events and then a stupid 99 in 100 RNG fails them) and occasionally decide to cheat just to get that score/time.
