Greguri, who prefers the hero Zarya in "Overwatch" has been cleared by Blizzard Korea of cheating accusations. She showed her attackers that they were wrong by live-streaming an hour long game live.

Zarya's real-life counterpart was in tears at the end of her stream and told everyone that the accusation of cheating did affect her.

In the height of the cheating scandal, two Korean professional "Overwatch" players promised to quit playing the game if Greguri was proven guilty. ELTA and Strobe from Dizziness are keeping their word and quit playing.
