It doesn't help that it isn't particularly difficult to embed these sophisticated cheats into peripherals such as mice and keyboards. Someone could be cheating 1 foot away from you while you watch and have it be difficult to tell.

I am skeptical of the legitimacy of most "professional" gamers at this point. If there is money to be made you better believe people will exploit it by whatever means possible.

It sounds like you think that most pro gamers are cheating. Isn't that akin to claiming a massive conspiracy? Wouldn't someone have been found out by now?
There is 100% cheating and match-fixing going on in professional gaming. It's some interesting reading!
