  • Thousands of Fortnite World Cup people banned for cheating

    The high profile Fortnite World Cup got underway last weekend - and already Epic has banned thousands of participants for cheating.

    The World Cup online open week one tournament saw a huge amount of interest - no surprise given Epic's putting up $1 million each week for online open qualifiers.

    In a blog post, Epic detailed over 1100 accounts were banned from competitive play for 14 days for circumventing region locks and playing in multiple regions through the course of the tournament. That number includes just shy of 200 prize winners who have had their prizes forfeited.

    There's more: 48 accounts were banned for account sharing - a figure that includes nine prize winners. Eight accounts were banned for teaming (one winner will forfeit prizes for teaming). Teaming is when multiple players get into the same match and coordinate their efforts, for example working as a duo against a map packed with solo players.

    One account was banned permanently from Fortnite for using cheat software during the semi-finals. (This account played for less than five minutes in the tournament before being banned, Epic said.)

    And one account was given a 72 hour competitive ban for intentionally disconnecting to avoid giving points to another competitor.

    That's good. If people aren't going to play fairly for money against others, boot their asses. Either get good or GTFO.
