Apex Legends pros accused of sabotaging PC\u2019s at Preseason Invitational Respawn\/UnsplashA number of Apex Legends pro players have accused others of \u2018sabotaging\u2019 their chances of winning an international event by messing with settings before games. Despite launching to massive acclaim and popularity back in February, Apex hasn\u2019t quite been able to make its mark in the esports scene. Top organizations like 100 Thieves, NRG esports, and Team Liquid all have active squads, but it\u2019s not quite hit the heady heights set by its most direct rival in Fortnite. Yet, Respawn Entertainment and EA are running tournaments between some of the top teams. However, their latest event \u2013 the Apex Pre-Season Invitational in Poland \u2013 has stirred some controversy between players in attendance who have accused others of purposely messing up settings before matches. The situation was brought to light by Team SoloMid\u2019s Jordan \u2018Reps\u2019 Wolfe, who tweeted out a warning to his fellow pros who were in action on the second day. \u201cDouble check all your settings if you are playing today at Poland,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cTeams that are done playing have been changing tons of settings on windows, monitors etc to screw over other teams.\u201d Wolfe then followed up with an explanation of the settings he had run into. \u201cI highly doubt these pro players play on 60hz with mouse accel on and windows sens maxed and with all the monitor settings changed to be all blurry :)\u201d I highly doubt these pro players play on 60 hz with mouse accel on and windows sens maxed and with all the monitor settings changed to be all blurry \ud83d\ude42 \u2014 TSM_Reps:first_place_medal:Poland WIN (@TSM_Reps) September 14, 2019 It wasn\u2019t just Reps who run into the issues, however, as Pittsburgh Knights star Tyler \u2018Sickks\u2019 Clark said that he had also witnessed the problems. He tweeted: \u201cDisgusting. Can confirm though. @turnzgg was on 60 Hz also. Saw it right before we started.\u201d Disgusting. Can confirm though. @turnzgg was on 60 Hz also. Saw it right before we started. \u2014 Sickks (@PK_Sickks) September 14, 2019 Former Overwatch professional-turned Apex Legends player Lucas \u2018Mendokusaii\u2019 H\u00e5kansson noted that he had also warned Team Liquid players about the possibility of underhanded tricks beforehand. \u201cIt\u2019s funny how I went over this exact scenario with my boys and told them to watch out for it,\u201d he said. \u201cWho would have thought inviting 80 teams wouldn\u2019t get the highest caliber teams \ud83d\ude42 Shared PCs are also a huge security risk :)\u201d It\u2019s funny how I went over this exact scenario with my boys and told them to watch out for it.
