Hacked Highs & Lows: Apex Legends NA Finals Postponed Amid Surprise Cheating Chaos

When the ALGS North American finals got “hack-jacked,” players were left staring at screens more hacked than a pumpkin in October. Epic Games says, “No RCE hole in our Anti-Cheat,” but the finals are on pause faster than a scared possum. Stay tuned—this digital soap opera ain’t over.

Hot Take:

Well, folks, it looks like the ALGS North American finals turned into 'Apex Predators' real quick, but not the kind you'd expect in the leaderboards. There's nothing like a good old hacking scandal to spice up an esports tournament, right? It's all fun and games until your avatar starts headshotting opponents like it's possessed by the aimbot demon. And as for Epic Games' "no RCE vulnerability" statement, I guess they're playing a little game of 'not it' with the hacker cooties.
