So far, the Wild Rift tournament controversy involving a team accused of using map hacks has been buzzing among the game’s community. The real issue isn’t whether hacks actually appeared, but the screenshots used to accuse the team have left many feeling amused and even a bit ridiculous.
Up to now, VNG representatives, specifically the match referee, have spoken out at least twice to confirm that Glory Gaming did not use any hacks. In the official group for teams participating in the qualifiers, when the map hack accusations first surfaced, VNG stated: “Not only the organizers but many other pro teams confirm that Glory Gaming played fairly with no signs of violations. Everyone should look at this objectively to improve together, instead of blaming others. The organizers monitored everything closely, and Glory Gaming fully complied with all requirements.“
Later, on the Wild Rift forum discussing the map hack claims, the VNG referee spoke again: “I’m just sharing this image here. It shows the cam check of Glory Gaming’s screen during the match. If someone was cheating, how could they agree to all the organizer’s checks and monitoring right on the spot? Usually, cheaters try to avoid such scrutiny. Also, Glory Gaming always shows their screen at the start and end of each game on camera. They deserve their current results. Even though they lost to SGP, they remain positive and eager to learn.“
It seems the frustration of losing led the accuser to misinterpret the facts. With the referee’s statements and the clip released by Glory Gaming, it’s clear this match was clean with no signs of map hacking. While map hacking remains a problem in mobile MOBAs, VNG is committed to keeping this major professional tournament fair and clean, ensuring nothing like this happens.
