I played occasionally on a counter strike source server years ago and despite being a scrub would often get 10+ players spectating me to figure out if I was cheating. I wasn’t even playing well (and never have played cs well), it was just a really casual server.

Baseless accusations are thrown around non stop

I found quake live didn’t have cheating accusations back in the day, everyone had more understanding about how much worse we all were than the pros we watched in tournaments. A half blind snap shot or tripwire shot exploiting an angle in the map is just par for the course, if you can’t make those you would have a 0% win rate in duel (my duel win rate was still under 10%)
