Epic Games Makes Fortnite Tournament Cheater Post Apology Video and Donates His Winnings to Charity
Epic Games has brought the gauntlet down hard on a Fortnite tournament player who was caught cheating during the FNCS (Fortnite Championship Series), by making them post a public apology video and donating their prize money to charity. The Fortnite developer took legal action against Morgan Bamford, better known as RepulseGod, after they fraudulently qualified for the FNCS 2023 Global Championship that offered a $4m prize pool. The online battle royale sandbox was first released in 2017 and boasted seven different game modes for players, including Save the World, Creative, and Lego Fortnite. FNCS is an annual esports tournament and one of the top-rated gaming competitions in the world. Fortnite recently confirmed Chapter 6 Season 1’s end date and Season 2’s start date, leaving players just a few days before Lawless rolls in, and 2025’s FNCS tournament began in tandem with Chapter 6’s launch back in January
