It was recently reported that the famous Quake 2 player Shub_Nigga had returned to esports in the Russian team pstarZ. Now it has been found out that known cheater Yuka was faking as Shub_Nigga.It didn't take long after the return of Shub_Nigga had been reported until the claims of it being a faker surfaced. On the Swedish site Rakaka a lot of the comments claimed the player calling himself Shub was unable to understand Swedish, a language very close to the real Shub's Norwegian native tongue.
After requests from the community, SyncError the community manager of Id Software decided to IP trace the player and was able to find out that a player called Yuka was faking as Shub. Yuka is a former player of the TDM clan k1ck and a known cheater, his account has been banned.
When Esreality asked SyncError how he was able to confirm the situation they received the following response:
This scandal all happened as Yuka was somehow able to trick everyone in the team pstarZ, who's line-up includes the famous Russian Anton 'Cooller' Singov. It is still not sure what will happen to pstarZ in EMS, but it is clear this violates several rules and according to the rules at least one major penalty point should be given out, which also means pstarZ game against LLL should be forfeited.

When Esreality asked SyncError how he was able to confirm the situation they received the following response:
"Several players (around a dozen) had reported shub_nigga in the past few days. Claims that he neither knew his native tongue and that his play style was different. They believed him to be another player who was already actively playing on another team.
I looked into the claims and after following a few trails from the account information found that yuka had obtained a new ip address and registered the account 'shub_nigga' on Nov 2nd. I then spoke with yuka on irc and he confirmed that he was playing under the alias. The account is currently banned."

No but it's a dumb action of him ofc.
Did this guy get banned for using someone elses nick, and not actually for cheating?
If he has been cheating in the past on one account, it shouldn't mean AUTOBAN on the new account unless there is evidence. lol
Yuka was and still is a bad player, but he suddently came back to Quake Live with magic skills beating some really good players.
He was terrible on Quake4 and QuakeLive. He was only "good" on quakelive, where he was found to be cheating, put the pieces together pal.
Stop sticking up for cunts from your own country for the sake of sticking up for them, he's a shit player and always will be. The fact that he deceived to get into a position of trust again only to CHEAT again proves that he cant keep up with the good players.
Theres a difference between a good player who has been caught cheating (see SombrA) and a nobody like yuka who cheats to give the illusion that he is good. He also cheated on previous games as stated by ex clanmates over on ESR (this i didnt bring into the argument due to me not knowing anything about what past games hes cheated on). I'm purely speaking from experience so its not something i don't fucking know about.
Give an average player an aimbot/wallhack and yes he can perform to the level of a pro, especially on Quake Live as it is a lot slower. Aim and prefire make a massive difference on Quake Live.
The attitude of "eSports is a joke" is a fucking joke comment in itself, he fakes a nick to play with top players, cheats to compete in ESPORT COMPETITIONS? Sounds more like a fucking freak with a neurological problem to me, If he didnt care, why play? You can polish this turd all you want, hes a cunt, always will be a cunt. Why? Because he finds fun in spoiling other peoples fun. I hope the next party you have someone spikes your fucking beer (or smirnoff ice, you do seem the type), then think back to how much your fun was spoilt because you passed out while everyone drew dicks on your face.
Then you might wake up with some real context.
You can still live in your pathetic world of eSport if you dare to deny that eSports is a joke. I won one graphic card in my entire eSports career, I knew I'd never see it. The more I played Quake, the more I realise how shit the community is, how low the tournament organisers are, and how much sponsors and teams leaders can be vultures. And don't be a kid, ''spoiling other peoples fun'' is one of those stupid constatations from which I tend to respect more, as you mentioned, SombrA /ugh?/, or Yuka then all those idiots like you commenting on forums and saying stuff which isn't true. Go live your fairytale, I'm done here. Thanks for flame, you deserve to be the last to comment here with how much shit you said here.
btw average is bad in quake :)
die cheaters
why are some ppl so stupid :F i don't understand them
JOKE BY THE WAY. =]
edit: and please find a more flattering picture of me ;)
