Epic Games has already banned more than 1,000 cheaters in the Fortnite World Cup, including one player who was caught using cheat software. The developer is taking the fight against cheating seriously, especially as players are competing for a $1 million prize pool in every week of the qualifiers.
The Fortnite World Cup is just underway, but Epic Games already has its hands full with cheaters who are trying to get away with an unfair advantage over other competitors.
Epic Games revealed in a blog post titled Fortnite – Competitive Game Integrity that in the first week of the Fortnite World Cup, the developer has already banned 1,163 accounts from competitive play for 14 days for bypassing region locks and playing in multiple regions in the tournament, which are against the rules. Out of these banned players, 196 have already won prizes, so their winnings were forfeited.
