Early into the game\u2019s life, an Apex Legends player, Facilitatur, made waves in the scene by reaching the top five Predators on Xbox. He and a duo, Invulnerable, would eventually be caught using hacks, however, they made a switch to PC to avoid it. Despite the ban, the duo still climbed their way to the top five on PC incredibly fast, which caught the eyes of the community. It was eventually found out that Facilitatur\u2019s duo, Invulnerable, had been using hacks as they climbed the ranked leaderboards. Now, years after Facilitatur\u2019s banning, he has again reached the top rank. However, the ban hammer came down again. Rank #1 Apex Predator banned again On August 23, Apex Legends content creator RealLegendJuice posted a video of Facilitatur getting banned while playing on stream. This comes after HisWattson accused the top-ranked player of cheating. \u201cThe current rank 1 Apex Predator has been caught cheating three times. Surely he\u2019s not cheating for a fourth time, right guys?\u201d HisWattson tweeted out sarcastically. He continued to say of Facilitatur\u2019s suspicious behavior, \u201cI\u2019ve played against this guy a lot and I\u2019ve literally never shot him in the back or caught him off guard. They just always know you\u2019re coming.\u201d Wattson would go on post a clip of the player as evidence, seemingly knowing an enemy was coming at him. Wattson went on to explain how important rank 1 Predator is. \u201cRank 1 has monetary value for streamers. He is literally siphoning ad dollars\/clout\/subs from people who actually deserve it. Rank 1 is life-changing for top players. I went from 10 viewers to 200 from being rank 2, then from 800 to 10,000 from being rank 1.\u201d He continued, \u201cMe and ProdigyAces have both had a rank 1 taken from us by a cheater and it is especially painful to see it happen to Luxford, [JamesFearless], Shooby, Zach. It discourages other aspiring pros\/content creators to grind to the top when they see this stuff run rampant.\u201d As of writing, Facilitatur has been knocked out of his number one spot anyways, dropping to fourth. Luxford, Shooby, and Zach, players HisWattson mentioned, taking his spot in the top three.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rank 1 Apex Legends predator banned amid HisWattson cheating allegations Electronic ArtsThe current ranked 1 Apex Legends predator was banned after being called out by HisWattson for cheating.
