The second day of the FNCS won by BenjyFishy was unfortunately marred by suspicions of cheating. Well-founded accusations or innuendos from unqualified players?

The identified concern of the “soft-aim”

Fortnite’s competitions have not been spared by cheaters. Players like Kquid or SerpentAU have even been found guilty and punished, proving that no one is above the rules or above temptation. It must be said that the sporting (qualification) and financial (cash-prize) stakes are extremely high. Recently, the phenomenon of “soft-aim” has spread and raises questions.

The soft-aim is a slightly different version of the classic aim-bot. It is less visible and blatant, but just as effective. To put it simply, you just need to shoot close to the enemy (especially their head) to hit them. With hindsight, the travel time of the bullets, and the shift in the image you have a chance to go incognito. Recently Team Liqui player Cented had pointed out this increasingly widespread concern that plagues Fortnite competitions.

This soft aim shit is actually so stupid it’d be cool if epic actually looked into all this and made a statement and started banning some of the people cheating

A salty tweet which however reveals the extent of the problem.

Charges against specific players

In the last round of the FNCS, raised on social networks actions at least … questionable. We let you make your own opinion on the videos. In any case, the reactions of the other French-speaking players are rather unanimous and go in his direction.

So what do you think?

A second clip from the same player.

L1nk’s case is all the more complicated as he finished the first to qualify for the last FNCS in 3rd place, thus offering him a ticket for the Grand Final in addition to $ 3,500. He has been playing competitions regularly since 2019 and while accusations of cheating are true, his presence calls into question the competitive integrity of many other events. The suspicions are all the more weighty as we have little information on this player who is not affiliated with any structure. We only know that he is Russian and that he is very active on Twitch.

Another player under fire.

The other player currently in the limelight is well known. It is Daniel “Dub ” Paul Walsh, a member of FaZe Clan. In the video clip, several suspicious actions are shown, during which he shoots and kills enemies through elements of the scenery with devilish precision. Cheater or instinctive gamer? In any case, we hope that Epic Games will clear things up very quickly.

Dubs had already been badly talked about this year. He had been banned for 30 days after having team-up in competition. If he is found guilty again, we can imagine that this time he will receive a much heavier sanction.
