Story/Art: ToucailaoCourt is in session! The People call the defendant, Eldridge!Gavel tapsIn your live stream, you fired 27 shells with your 76mm cannon in merely 1 second, which is impossible to do!Also, you obviously took direct hits, yet you suffered no damage at all! Everything has been recorded!Confess now! Did you use any secret "technology"!?
This "case" against Eldridge here is a reference to the infamous "17 rounds in 2 seconds", a suspected case of cheating in PUBG involving Chinese streamer Sticky Rice.
On September 2017, Sticky Rice demonstrated an implausible kill by firing 17 rounds in 2 seconds with an SKS while live streaming his game. He was suspected to be a cheater, while getting involved in flame wars with famous StarCraft 2 caster Huang Xudong, who was denouncing cheaters in PUBG based on his own terrible gaming experience. Huang never named Sticky Rice per se, as he didn't even know the recording he used in his post was Sticky Rice's gameplay. Nevertheless, Sticky Rice and his fans marched into war and blew this whole thing out of proportion.
At the peak of this flame war, Huang invited Sticky Rice to a net cafe for an on-site skill demonstration event, and asked fans of both sides to attend this event, finishing this once and for all. Sticky Rice agreed, but PUBG's developer Blue Hole came out from nowhere and officially declared him a cheater, banned his account and settled the whole thing for now.
Sticky Rice threatened legal action against Blue Hole, and firmly insisted that he never cheated. He allegedly went to Korea and discussed this with some Blue Hole personnel in person. Meanwhile, he also actively attended some other skill demonstration event held by Tencent, Netease, and other online media, but he was never able to recreate the exact "17 rounds in 2 seconds" kill. There were other rumors flying on the internet at the time, such as an alleged "girlfriend of Blue Hole Chinese sector principal" claiming her boyfriend was being a corrupt bastard, selling confidential game data and banning innocent players for a price. Sticky Rice's fans bought into this and believed that their beloved idol is a victim of a scheme.
Blue Hole allegedly did some investigation and fired this "Chinese sector principal", while another popular theory claims that this person never worked for Blue Hole. On March 2018, Sticky Rice was unbanned, and Blue Hole claimed that the ban was a mistake. Sticky Rice went back to streaming, but never reached the same popularity he had before, nor was he able to recreate the same stunt that started this whole fiasco. A new patch significantly reducing the firing rate of SKS was applied soon after, and the "17 rounds in 2 seconds" stunt is now officially a myth.
FYI, famous Twitch streamer Grimmmz tried this under fans' request, and only managed to shoot 15 rounds.
Well...this is indeed the power of a secret technology...The defendant confessed her crime!!The defendant is hereby banished from Living Area! A total of 6 cruises through 6-2 per day will be implemented as punishment!It's real technology!Justice is served, again.The code name of this technological project is Operation Rainbow.
This is also referenced by Eldridge's in-game ability of the same name. 5-10 seconds of invincibility is granted when the ability is triggered.
