"
Wadu Hek" was not only a catchphrase, but the name and entire vocabulary of a famous
PUBG player known for
stream sniping Shroud from 2017 to 2019.
The term "
wadu hek" itself is a degradation of the question, "why do you hack?" Poking fun at the constant cheating allegations
levied against Shroud during his rise to fame.
Wadu quickly became a fan favorite in
Shroud's stream for his wholesome sniping, creative antics, funny appearance, persona, and ability to find bugs/exploits. He would go on to be the subject of several YouTube videos uploaded by Shroud throughout 2017 and 2018, and would regularly play with Shroud and his friends.
Wadu gained a sizeable audience on his own Twitch and YouTube channels, where he showcased impressive talent as a PUBG player, singer, and content creator.
Sadly, Wadu has been mostly inactive since Shroud officially announced his departure from PUBG. On September 13 2019 Wadu uploaded a video titled "Wadu Hek - Hallelujah (memories)" commemorating his appearances on the stream and bidding farewell to Shroud.
Since then, it is theorized that the enigmatic individual behind the Wadu character operates online under a different identity.
