Abstract

Soft play is a form of cheating where players deliberately play easy against each other. We evaluate different methods for detecting the players engaging in soft play in shooter games using data generated with synthetic players. These methods are used when analysing the hit matrix of the game.

Keywords: cheating, collusion, community detection, e-sports, graph clustering, multiplayer games, principal component analysis, soft play
