Meet #Geguri. She’s 17 and very, very talented at #Overwatch. She’s so good that after beating rivals during Nexus Cup qualifiers, other players accused her of cheating.
[…]
According to PC Games N and Redditor Calycae, two pros said they’d quit if she wasn’t cheating. And after Blizzard reportedly said she wasn’t, they did just that.

As tipster Sang points out, the whole thing started when an Inven forum member named Ping Ddak posted that Geguri might be cheating, because it looked like her aiming was sticking too precisely on enemies. After that, members of the team Dizziness began saying that Gerguri was using some sort of cheat.
Via Inven (translation by Sang), Dizziness member Strobe is quoted as saying, “If this problem is confirmed as a hack, it would have caused a problem to our career and reputation. How will you take responsibility for that?’ Strobe is also quoted as saying, “If there is a problem with our sponsors and such, I may visit Geguri’s house with a knife in hand. I am not joking.” In addition to Strobe, the other Dizziness accuser was a player named ELTA.

In ELTA’s apology, he writes that Geguri’s play was at a level that it was so good, it was unbelievable. He says he blames himself and that he simply thought she was cheating. ELTA added that he was truly sorry and added that he’s not only quitting the team but also leaving the Overwatch scene.
And finally, Strobe posted his apology. He admitted to making the knife remark, which is deeply troubling. He also said he was incredibly sorry he could not control his anger and very much feels responsible. Strobe said he was leaving the Overwatch scene forever.
