  Banned from Fortnite for sharing accounts to qualify for the tournament…

  “I won’t ever cheat in Fortnite again.”

  Seems like he didn’t get the message.

    He’s not wrong though. He won’t cheat in Fortnite again.

      Cheating in Fortnite gets you banned.

      Cheating in Diablo gets you a White House consultant position.

      I’m getting mixed signals here.

    It seems he wasn’t banned from Fortnite, just from participating in tournaments. So he may very well cheat in fortnite again, as his account wasn’t banned.

    Being said, nice of them to donate the winnings to charity, half expected them to just keep the money.

  That seems kind of shitty, if he only cheated to qualify but otherwise won the prize without cheating

    Cheating to qualify makes his participation invalid imo. Someone else could have taken his place and changed the entire thing
