Fortnite has no room for cheaters, especially in the competitive scene. It goes against the heart and soul of what it means to be a competitive player. However, it didn\u2019t stop Kalvin \u2018Kez\u2019 Dam, a former FNCS champion, from using hacks in the Frosty Frenzy tournament. Kez copped the ban right in the middle of a game. He disappeared into thin air, and his items were left scattered across the ground. His teammates, Nanolite and Chris \u2018CizLucky\u2019 Perez, had no idea what happened, but it didn\u2019t take them long to figure it out. \u201cWhy did he just leave?\u201d yelled CizLucky. \u201cHe got banned! What the f**k?\u201d You could barely hear him over Nanolite, who was also stunned and confused. AussieAntics, a Fortnite commentator who captured the footage, was shocked too. \u201cUmmmm\u2026? FNCS winner being struck by ban hammer mid-tournament\u2026\u201d \u201cDoesn\u2019t look good that he didn\u2019t say anything to his teammates after being struck by ban hammer?\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/AussieAntics\/status\/1338273437098250240?s=20 Kez did eventually explain the situation to his teammates after the game. He said he\u2019d been banned for \u201ca very long time\u201d for \u201cexploiting.\u201d It sounded believable, but he skimmed all the important details. Five minutes later, rumors he was using soft-aim hacks spread like wildfire. The Fortnite competitive community exploded in outrage, and he deactivated his social media accounts in shame. Shortly after, CizLucky revealed that somebody messaged him on December 5. They claimed Kez bought hacks and even sent him a screenshot of the alleged transaction and predicted the ban. It looked credible. However, CizLucky didn\u2019t believe it at the time. \u201cI was so naive,\u201d he said. \u201cI didn\u2019t even think for a second he was telling the truth.\u201d It\u2019s understandable since these kinds of messages often turn out to be false, but this one was on the ball. I was so na\u00efve, I didn&#8217;t even think for a second he was telling the truth pic.twitter.com\/QVFvOCrnIm \u2014 CizLucky (@CizLucky) December 14, 2020 The situation has left Fortnite players and fans wondering how long Kez has been cheating. It could go all the way back to when he won the FNCS. He\u2019s also won over $60k, and may have used cheats to acquire some or all of it. Fortunately, that doesn\u2019t seem to be the case. Sebby, who used to play duos with Kez, claims Kez told him he didn\u2019t cheat until this season. Either way, justice seems to have been served, with more penalties expected to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortnite FNCS Champion Kez permanently banned for hacking in Frosty Frenzy Vanguard \/ Epic GamesKez, a former FNCS champion, has been permanently banned from Fortnite after he was caught using soft-aim hacks in the middle of a Frosty Frenzy event.
