FaZe Sway responds to accusations of \u201cteaming\u201d in Fortnite Solos Cash Cup Update 8\/29\/2019 at 3:18 PM ET. FaZe Sway responded to the accusations of cheating. \u201cI was on a call with friends while playing after realizing it was Wistles fighting I chose to leave,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI shouldn\u2019t have changed what I was doing because it was a friend. I never had an intention to team up on anybody so I wanted to clear the air. I\u2019m sorry, I really didn\u2019t mean to do anything wrong but will accept whatever repercussions come my way.\u201d Original story follows. Fortnite pro player and FaZe Clan member Sway has been accused of \u2018teaming\u2019 during a match in the Solos Cash Cup, by fellow competitive player and streamer Sour. The second week of Fortnite\u2019s Solos Cash Cup took place on Wednesday, August 28, as players compete online for their share of cash prizes. As the name implies, these games are played solo, without the help of teammates, but Sour has accused Sway and another player, Wistles, of skirting this rule and playing tactically together. On August 28, Sour claimed: \u201cJust got teamed on by FaZe Sway and Wistles in the Cash Cup. Is this acceptable in competitive? This sort of thing really puts me off.\u201d In his tweet, he included footage of what he argues shows the FaZe player helping Wistles in the fight vs Sour, and then proceeding to leave Wistles alone, rather than engaging with him as would be expected. Just got teamed on by @FaZeSway and @Wistles_ in the Cash Cup. Is this acceptable in competitive? This sort of thing really puts me off. @JTonYouTube @The_FortniteGuy pic.twitter.com\/UySfSGbXAN \u2014 Sour_ (@MildySour_) August 29, 2019 After the clip gained attention on Twitter, another user posted a clip of Sway and Wistles discussing the incident, with Sway stating \u201cthat\u2019s not teaming.\u201d \u201cI was about to literally kill him-\u201d Sway started, before cutting himself off. \u201cLet\u2019s go our separate ways,\u201d Wistles responded. Explaining what went down, Sway went on to say \u201cAll I see is a fucking Whistle Warrior just jumping into someone\u2019s box.\u201d The claims sparked debate, with some arguing that it wasn\u2019t a serious tournament and therefore wasn\u2019t as egregious as \u2018teaming\u2019 in a more prestigious event. Others, however, suggested that teaming is cheating regardless of the situation, and with money on the line, Sour was right to be angered with the situation. Wtf is wrong with these kids replying saying you wouldn\u2019t have won money anyways fucking disgusting \u2014 LG beehive (@beehivegod) August 29, 2019 legit the worst case scenario is that they are in a call and somehow get in the same game and are going for endgame. this isn\u2019t that big of a deal this is probably there first engagement by accident so worst case they said bro get away from me. ppl rlly be trynna ruin careers \u2014 BH LD (@LDFortnite) August 29, 2019 Stop treating this like its anything different from any other cheater. Cheater is a cheater and cheating has actions and those actions shouldn’t be based on how popular you are. Or how well the person would have done if they didn’t cheat. \u2014 Jordan Dove (@JordanDove24) August 29, 2019 Epic Games\u2019 official rules for the Solos Cash Cup state: \u201cPlayers may not work together to deceive or otherwise cheat other players during any match (\u201cCollusion\u201d). Examples of Collusion include the following: Teaming: Players working together during the match while on opposing teams. – Planned Movement: Agreement between 2 or more opposing players to land at specific locations or to move through the map in a planned way before the match begins. – Communication: Sending or receiving signals (both verbal and non-verbal) to communicate with opposing players. – Item Dumping: Intentionally dropping items for an opposing player to collect. – Dexerto has reached out to Sway for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
