Fortnite Streamer Caught Cheating During Super Bowl Tournament
During the recent Twitch Super Bowl tournament, a streamer was caught cheating to get easy eliminations. NickEh30 cheated with his partner by landing outside the tournament area to sneak past enemy teams and only receiving a warning from tournament officials in return. Given that the winning team had to choose a charity for $500000 in donations, cheating here is a bit more disturbing than your average Fortnite game. Fortnite is available for free on PC, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Mobile.
Clips from the Twitch Super Bowl tournament showed NickEh30 leading his partner into the restricted area cheering them on and saying, “I'm fine; we get a warning. The charity event featured well-known streamers like Tfue and TimTheTatman and NFL players like JuJu Smith-Schuster and DK Metcalf who teamed up to take on others like NickEh30. Fortnite Reddit fans have been expressing their annoyance at the cheating during the event since the tournament and NickEh30 is unlikely to be asked back for the next Twitch charity stream.
Fortnite tournaments like the Super Bowl Tournament are a great way to bring together big names in streaming, sports, and more. to publicize charities and esports. Epic has done a great job of spreading awareness, including a recent crossover event with the Red Cross. We hope big charity events like these aren't continually marred by cheating so that the right people win and donate the winnings to the charity of their choice. Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 starts on February 20, bringing with it several changes to the battle royale, including the Unreal Engine Chaos physics system.
