Nate Hill and FunkBomb punished by Epic Games for Fortnite Fall Skirmish cheating incident Nate HillFaZe Clan\u2019s Nate Hill has been suspended from Fortnite\u2019s Fall Skirmish series and FunkBomb has been kicked from the competition entirely following the recent cheating incident. The news was announced on stream by Nate Hill on September 24 when he read out an email that he had received from Epic Games, the developers of Fortnite. The players made headlines during the latest installment of the Fortnite Fall Skirmish tournament when FunkBomb, who was already dead, decided to watch the stream of the game and give information to his teammate. Both players were quick to realize that what they were doing was wrong, and both apologized shortly after the incident, but Epic Games appear to be making an example of them in order to prevent other players from repeating their mistake. \u201cAs the teammate and beneficiary, I\u2019ll be suspended immediately from participating in all the Skirmish trials and Skirmishes until conclusion of suspension, October 11,\u201d Nate Hill explained to his stream. \u201cStill a member of Dusty Dogs club and will remain eligible for club prizing,\u201d he continued. While the suspension is sure to hit Nate hard, it is nothing compared to the punishment that FunkBomb has received. \u201cFunk is kicked out of Dusty Dogs, effective immediately, will not be eligible for club prizing,\u201d the FaZe player explained as he continued to read the email. The only silver lining for FunkBomb came in the final lines of the email. \u201cHe can go to TwitchCon and playing the TwitchCon tournament,\u201d Nate explained. Shortly after getting the news, Nate stated \u201cit\u2019s only two weeks but I didn\u2019t fucking do anything, bro. I didn\u2019t fucking do anything, dude. Like, I\u2019m not gonna argue with the rule, obviously Funk fucked up.\u201d While Epic Games have classed Nate as the \u201cbeneficiary\u201d of FunkBomb\u2019s cheating, the FaZe player and many of his fans believe that the fact that he didn\u2019t encourage it or ask for it should have been enough for him to escape any serious punishment. The Dusty Dogs Club is one of the five clubs introduced by Epic Games for the start of the Fall Skirmish. Players are split into these clubs and earn points for both themselves and their club during tournaments. It is currently uncertain whether FunkBomb will be banned from all online competitions or whether his suspension will be lifted after the conclusion of the Fall Skirmish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
