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.
Greguri was one of the highest ranking players in the game, worldwide, before people started the cheating allegations. According to Polygon, the 17-year-old "Overwatch" gamer was assumed to have propelled herself to the top of the leaderboard through ways that many players may believe to be unfair.
Playing as Zarya in Blizzard's first person shooter game, she began to draw attention when she started participating in regional tournaments.
Greguri, known to play online as Zarya, had a win rate of 80 percent in 420 completed games, making one of those considered best players of the game. She was one of the most admired players until people began accusing her of cheating. The claims against her came shortly after her team defeated popular Korean teams while competing in the Nexus Cup qualifier.
Eventually, in her favor Blizzard clears her of the cheating scandal.
Even if she was cleared by Blizzard Korea she still wanted to prove that she was not cheating. Gregury streamed herself for about an hour while she played the 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.
Now Greguri's happy "Overwatch" playing days back, as she has proven that she is indeed one of the best. In the meantime, Express.co.uk reported that Blizzard has released details about the upcoming new mode, Competitive Play that will soon come to "Overwatch" on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
