FaZe Kalei threatens to quit public Warzone events as cheating crisis continues Activision\/ Instagram: kaleirenayFaZe Kalei has announced that she\u2019ll no longer be competing in public Warzone events and has urged other popular streamers to follow suit amidst the ongoing cheating crisis. Despite more than half a million Warzone accounts being banned to date, the presence of cheaters and hackers in Verdansk has only reached new heights. We\u2019ve already seen many of the biggest names like NICKMERCS and CouRage abandon the title\u2014 often to arch-rival Apex Legends, to boot \u2014 due to the recent cheating surge. With hackers appearing in almost every lobby, even xQc has bumped into a few during his rare Warzone streams. Despite warnings from popular figures, many of the latest Warzone events have still taken place in public lobbies, as the cheating crisis rages on. Now, another huge name is \u201cdone\u201d competing in these events altogether, with FaZe Kalei revealing she\u2019s taking a step back. In a public kill-race format, teams must drop into regular matchmaking. With the prominence of cheaters, this format leads to its fair share of issues. If teams encounter a suspicious player, they\u2019re often allowed to restart and search for a new lobby to keep things fair. Kalei and her team were interrupted by 11 cheaters during a July 29 event. This led to three full hours of constant resets. Admins eventually stepped in and announced no further resets. However, they fell victim to yet \u201canother cheater\u201d in their final game, bringing their run to an unceremonious end. \u201cI\u2019m so heartbroken with what this game has become,\u201d Kalei shared in a since-deleted tweet after the unfortunate loss. \u201cI\u2019m done with public tourneys,\u201d she added. Moreover, she \u201c[hopes] other streamers follow.\u201d The FaZe star continued: \u201cI just want people to understand the current state of Warzone and what us competitors are dealing with.\u201d In order to run more appropriate events, Kalei demanded that private lobbies become the norm moving forward. Public events are \u201ckilling us,\u201d she stressed: \u201cI would\u2019ve stopped a long time ago but my channel grew on Warzone. Warzone is going to get worse if nothing is done.\u201d While Raven Software has been fairly quiet amidst the ongoing Activision lawsuit, it remains to be seen if a more effective anti-cheat is actually in the pipeline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
