Controversy is arising in the Fortnite esports scene as content creators FaZe Sway and Wistles have been accused of cheating during a recent Fortnite Cash Cup. Streamer "Sour_" posted a video to Twitter claiming that the duo teamed in a solo tournament.
Sour's video claims to show FaZe Sway in replay mode using a launch pad to go to an area which would make no sense to randomly glide to, and waiting outside a 1 by 1 to allegedly assist Wistles in eliminating Sour. The video also shows Sway then leaving Wistles without attempting to fight him.
Just got teamed on by @FaZeSway and @Wistles_ in the Cash Cup. Is this acceptable in competitive? This sort of thing really puts me off. @JTonYouTube @The_FortniteGuy pic.twitter.com/UySfSGbXAN
