Not many individuals manage to form a stain of shame on their related species. I guess he is, indeed, remarkable in that way.
Buying someone else's ball and going home.
I just remembered that Grimes came out defending him on this topic.
Or did I fall for a meme/shitpost?
She said something about Diablo that I didn't understand as someone who doesn't play that game but apparently confirming that, at one time, he was very skilled. Which is absolutely meaningless in a context where he pays people to play for him and then pretends that he did it.
Diablo IV gives scaled advantage for having very good equipment, and you can spend tons of time getting that equipment optimized. If someone else got him max rolled equipment and all he did was pilot it, it might look to someone who is a non-gamer that he is amazing at the game. You'd have to get the honest opinion of other top tier gamers if he is actually skillful.
Some builds all you have to do is keep spamming one or two attack buttons to wipe out all enemies.
“No shit, dumbass…”
—everyone
People need to cheat at Diablo 4?
He needs to pretend to be a top tier gamer to win the affection of internet strangers because he craves validation and attention.
Natural born grifter and liar.
To me the reality of it is so damn stupid, If this were back to lying about quake, that's one thing. He's claiming on games with continual progression however. Of which even if you have amazing skill, it's meaningless without time. IE it would be well understood that if someone is in those leaderboards legitimately, they've been living the NEET lifestyle (IE spending almost all waking hours playing the game), not say... on a nation tour following around a presidential candidate, while also forming a new government consulting group, spending considerable time on twitter as a user... and being a micromanaging incompetent CEO at 4+ companies.

He didn't say "account boosting", he said they share accounts. I don't play PoE, much less competitively, so I don't know if that's true, but let's assume it is. Just disclose it. Like, disclose it publicly before you play the game. Don't deny it after being called out on it and then retaliate against the person calling you out on your platform like a petty manchild, then disclose it in private. If anything, people will respect you more for being someone who doesn't play video games all day every day like it's their job.
Account sharing is against GGG's ToS.
In PoE 1: racers stream their entire race. Once a league Zizaran hosts the Gauntlet (HC/SSF) race event, streaming on Twitch (often with a 4-panel split screen). They sub out different races to highlight boss fights and whatnot. You have to provide proof of any "bounty" you won. There are some cash money prizes, so this is all very strict.
During these races, players often have a timer showing how long they've been going, and it's not unusual to see 37 hours of straight streaming the first day. GGG hosts World Firsts events after XPac stuff, and is mindful of exploits.
That is all PoE 1. PoE 2 is in early access; it's the same people, so it should be the same integrity. I know a lot of Diablo folks came over for it, so I can't speak for them.

I'm sure it is but clearly that doesn't stop anyone.
Ya, but the rest of what I wrote explains that it would be hard to do without the community calling you out for it.
I don't understand what that has to do with this conversation.
You asked if it's common in PoE, I'm saying nope :)
