HandCams

Easy

>$1000

HandCams can be an obvious check to whether someone is controlling the movement of the crosshair or not, and it has been before in at least 2 cases. One of these cases was with German player kRYSTAL who tracked a player through a smoke here:

Popular YouTuber Tweeday was filming at the event and coincidentally was recording kRYSTAL at the exact moment, showing his slow hand movement.

Another example of how this could be helpful would be when NiKo went over a player model on Inferno.

This was a weird clip, very odd because it is to my understanding that clients do not even get information from players that far away. However, another coincidental hand cam was on him showing what he was doing.

This could clear up a lot of accusations and maybe confirm some. I don’t see a reason not to have them.

Fresh Equipment

Hassle on the players

Cheap

Another way to not have to check hardware that could inject things would be to force players to use new gear every time. The new mouse/keyboard could be provided by their sponsors every time, or paid by the host. For publicly attended LANs they could make the cost back by having the player sign it, selling the keyboard/mouse to fans for the same price or even auction it for more. The two issues with this are that some players like the grooves from wear in the gear that they do use, and that some new gear needs some breaking in. The second issue with this are players using old mice or mice that aren’t readily available today. A couple players to note that could have this issue would be coldzera & ScreaM(neither of their mice are readily available for purchase.)

Blocking USB Ports/PC

Super Easy

It’s sad that we hear this measure is actually not taken already, it’s incredibly easy to lock off players from plugging things into their computers. Yam and Semphis have both talked about how easy it is to do it.
