An Apex Legends player complained during a live tournament that his game had been “hacked” and that he could see other characters through walls, then others followed with similar reports.

When people say they are being hacked, it’s usually related to some kind of personal information they could lose after their system has been compromised. And it generally doesn’t happen during live matches.

According to a Eurogamer report, a few players reported during the Apex Legends Global Series event that they could see through walls. Another player said that he had an aimbot installed. The general theme seems to be game-compromising events so that players would be banned. After a few incidents, the entire tournament was shut down.

“Due to the competitive integrity of this series being compromised, we have made the decision to postpone the NA finals at this time. We will share more information soon,” said the organizers on Twitter.
