Tfue weighs in after Fortnite player is accused of cheating in World Cup qualifiers FaZe ClanAfter allegations of cheating marred the first set of qualifiers for the $30 million Fortnite World Cup, FaZe Clan pro Turner \u2018Tfue\u2018 Tenney joked that he\u2019ll recruit the accused player to help him secure his own spot. Fortnite player accused of cheating in World Cup qualifiers An aspiring Fortnite player, known as \u2018Dubs\u2019, apparently cheated his way to a 2nd place finish in the online qualifiers, which would give him a ticket to the finals in New York in July. Messages were posted online which appear to show Dubs thanking the seller of said cheats, and complimenting their effectiveness, stating: \u201c[T]his cheat is lethal \u2026 my duo partner didn\u2019t even notice anything.\u201d The messages cannot be verified as authentic however, and Dubs himself has vehemently denied the accusations, explaining on Twitter: \u201cI understand there\u2019s been a lot of accusations about me cheating, but I\u2019m not, and I\u2019m willing to stream future solo qualifiers to show you that. [\u2026] All I have to say is fuck all the people that don\u2019t believe. I\u2019m not cheating and I\u2019ll see you guys at the World Cup.\u201d Fortnite pros react to cheater being \u201cexposed\u201d Because Dubs managed to take 2nd place in the qualifiers \u2013 potentially taking another player\u2019s spot \u2013 many pro players were understandably concerned. Tfue, who has already stated he will be retiring from competitive play after the World Cup, made light of the situation, joking that he would recruit Dubs to be his partner for upcoming qualifiers. Tfue and his actual duos partner, Dennis \u2018Cloak\u2018 Lepore, discussed the situation on stream too, and Cloak also wanted in on the deal. \u201cAlright, you get [Dubs] this week and then I\u2019ll get him next week\u201d, joked Lepore, \u201cand then once we both get there, since we\u2019ll be on LAN, then we can be duo partners.\u201d Other pro players were concerned that the cheating problem may be more widespread too. If players can be cheating without detection by anti-cheat systems, how big of a problem could it really be? With literally millions of dollars on the line, there is an obvious concern that developers Epic Games must address, as CLG\u2019s \u2018WishhYaLuck\u2019 makes clear. I understand everyone is coming for johnny tk and dubs rn BUT HOW MANY OTHER MOTHERFUCKERS ARE RUNNING THIS SHIT MAN I got triple headshotted game 2 and died 26th place. That shit was fishy as fuck. Man fuck this game. \u2014 CLG Wish (@WishYaLuckk) April 16, 2019 Team Kaliber kicked their own professional player, JohnnyK, after it was revealed that he had purchased cheats with the intention of using them in World Cup qualifiers. Dakotaz and FaZe Clan\u2019s Avxry also discussed the issue, with the latter pointing the finger at lack of developer engagement on the issue. I mean when the devs and heads go MIA during the most important event in the games history. What can we expect \u2014 FaZe Avery (@Avxry) April 16, 2019 First place in the solos tournament at the Fortnite World Cup will net $3 million \u2013 the largest prize ever for a single player in esports history. With such a ridiculous amount of money up for grabs, it is alarming that cheating most likely is at play in the qualifiers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
