Little did he know that a hacker was about to project something completely unexpected onto his screen: a cartoon chicken. All was going well in the match until a still image of a cartoon chicken floated onto the screen, causing Athieno, unfortunately, to be eliminated in the match. However, according to a tweet Athieno later posted he didn’t seem too pressed about the matter. Warning: the following video contains profanity.
It can be difficult enough playing the game whenRainbow Six Siegeis one of the few games that take into account friendly fire. But when a random picture of a giant chicken floats into frame and obscures one’s view, that will make the game downright impossible. Even though it is surely frustrating to be surprised like that in the middle of a match, the clip Athieno posted on his official Twitter account shows that the streamer took the hack in stride, laughing at the ridiculousness of it all.
