"It's cheating…I can see everyone," he explains to his teammates, with the video showing how the game is displaying other players behind walls that he shouldn't be able to see.
Genburten promptly leaves the game.
In another video, TSM's Phillip Dosen, aka “ImperialHal," starts shooting at another player when he realizes that he's been hacked.
"I'm cheating, I'm cheating," he shouts once he realizes what's going on. "I have aimbot."
Aimbot is a cheating software that helps players accurately shoot in a game by automatically aiming at a target.
"Oh no…you've got to leave the game," his teammates responded.
