Tap strafing has, for the longest time, been a somewhat controversial mechanic and topic within the Apex Legends community. If you\u2019ve been living under a rock, tap strafing is a movement mechanic where you can make sharper movements in gunfights, making yourself harder to hit if you pull it off in the correct manner. Combine it with a controller on PC, and you\u2019ve got a pretty powerful combination that can really annoy keyboard and mouse players. Well, that\u2019s what happened to ImperialHal when his TSM trio clashed with Call of Duty world champion Shotzzy in a Ranked lobby, as some accusations of cheating got tossed around from the Apex Legends pro. ImperialHal &#038; Shotzzy clash in Apex Legends Ranked The interaction between the two FPS stars happened on September 10 as they come across each other on Kings Canyon. Hal\u2019s trio appeared to get the jump on Shotzzy at first, but the OpTic Gaming star managed to twist and turn his way around the shots, downing Hal in the process. Despite his team ultimately eliminating Shotzzy, the TSM star wasn\u2019t pleased. \u201cI just realized, that motherf**ker just\u2026 mans already cheating, swaps from CoD to Apex and the guy is tap strafing on f**king controller!\u201d he exclaimed. \u201cThe guy is f**king using his Steam config, you little b*tch. That was definitely a f**king tap strafe.\u201d Shotzzy responds to ImperialHal\u2019s \u201ccheating\u201d claim Naturally, Shotzzy was informed about Hal\u2019s frustrations with the fight and had to seek out a clip of Hal\u2019s POV. The CoD star couldn\u2019t help but laugh as he watched the engagement back, but questioned if tap strafing is considered cheating. \u201cIs this sh*t actually cheating? I don\u2019t even know,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s funny. If it\u2019s actually considered cheating then I\u2019ll definitely take it off for sure, it\u2019s just so funny to do this.\u201d As Shotzzy admitted, he doesn\u2019t play a whole lot of Apex Legends, but he\u2019s got that natural skill that comes with being a top FPS player anyway. With the CDL in its off-season, he\u2019ll probably grind his way through Apex a little more. Though, if he runs into Hal again, he might not want to tap strafe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ImperialHal slams OpTic CoD pro Shotzzy for tap strafing in Apex Legends TSM\/CDLApex Legends pro Phillip \u2018ImperialHal\u2019 Dosen clashed with Call of Duty star Anthony \u2018Shotzzy\u2019 Cuevas-Castro in a ranked game, with Hal accusing the CoD champion of \u201ccheating\u201d by tap strafing.
