Plehxify also went into depth about his journey in the critically acclaimed franchise, before apologizing to his peers. Although the blatant hacking was caught live on stream, the player addressing the same, adding:

"In the clip you can clearly tell I just had got the cheats, I was very naive with the software/hacks. As most of you know you're allowed to hide the boxes off your stream if you're a good hacker."

Interestingly, despite getting caught and the criticism, Phehxify claims to have achieved the "#2 in ranked legitimately."

In addition to the TwitLonger, the player attached images of the purchase order as well as proof of him registering for the cheats as "proof of the registration and payment."
