Over the weekend, Brazilian Apex Legends<\/em> pro Alefe “Feu” Santos was accused of using wallhacks in recent South American Pro League matches and confirmed to Dot Esports on Monday afternoon his account has been banned.<\/p>
On Saturday, Brazilian player oPESADELO tweeted a gameplay clip of Feu he believed was suspicious<\/a>. oPESADELO tagged another pro player, Jackes “Stalizy” Cardoso, in the caption, writing in Portuguese, “that’s it lol, one more to add to your collection.” Stalizy, who plays for Xen, had previously made videos accusing Feu of cheating. <\/p>
The clip drew substantial attention from the Apex<\/em> community, and other pros were quick to chime in. “This guys walling his ass off,” wrote G2’s Tyler “Dezignful” Gardner<\/a>, in a comment on the clip. FURIA’s Will “TeQ” Starck, wrote<\/a>, “It\u2019s scary knowing that this SA player who is blatantly wallhacking is still competing in pro league. I don\u2019t get how it can be this obvious & there being zero action taken.”<\/p>
The ALGS, which still plays in an online-only ecosystem, has experienced a dramatic increase in discussions about cheating recently. The same person who accused Feu of “blatantly wallhacking,” FURIA’s TeQ, has repeatedly insinuated<\/a> that Esport Arena’s William “SkittleCakes” August, one of the best players in Apex<\/em>, is engaged in “not so obvious” cheating. In APAC North, Korean player Cinap wrote he was being accused of cheating<\/a> by his peers and called for EA to clear his name: “I want you to inspect my Apex<\/em> account, and say some official opinions like, ‘We didn’t found any problems from his account” or like ‘He’s not cheater.’ Thanks for your help.”<\/p>
