What if a pro team cheats in online events?

LCQ APAC will most likely be online due to covid.
Aside from ping issues, what if an Indian or a Chinese team actually cheats since it's online?
No offense but possible

I mean vanguard literally checks your computer for cheats so it’ll have to be under powerpoint.exe to be able to somehow bypass the vanguard so I doubt tbh. Riot mostlikely also requires computer access to check for cheats themselves for tourneys(I hope so).

No offense but cheats are so normalized there. Indian gamers are notorious in pubg mobile and that one word.exe guy ruined the reputation of Indian esports tbh. As for China, cheats are pre-downloaded in internet cafes so customors go to internet cafes with better cheats

I think the word.exe thing blew up because of the memes. Cheaters are equally distributed and there are a fair share of NA/EU pros being caught cheating both in CSGO and Valorant.

Forsaken for some reason named his cheats word.exe and had to resist the admin catching him.

Memeing up something really blows something out of proportion.

Literally just happened in this event

https://www.vlr.gg/event/662/lvleague-japanbrawl/group-stage

Blue Bees were disqualified because their player "Jayder" turned out to be a known Japanese cheater called "okinawapex" using a fake name and voice changer (as people in JP scene were recognizing him). Not a big tourney or anything but pretty crazy.

Also there are undoubtedly cheaters playing in VCT open quals but dont make it far enough to be featured. I get the notifications that people i reported have been banned for cheating every once in a while in mid immortal. No doubt it happens at higher levels of play
