Apex Legends has postponed the North America finals for its Global Series championship over concerns that hackers have compromised the “competitive integrity” of the game.
Two professional players from major teams were targeted while livestreaming on Sunday by an attack that forcibly applied advantage-granting cheats during competitive gameplay. The cause of these attacks hasn’t been officially verified, leading to speculation that the hack may have been delivered via Apex Legend’s anti-cheat protections.
“I’m getting hacked,” Genburten said, while raising his hands to show he was no longer in control. Genburten noticed he could see other players through walls and promptly abandoned the match. TSM’s Phillip “ImperialHal” Dosen was also targeted, with admins shutting down the game lobby after the player realized an aimbot had been applied to his account.
