Apex Legends Streamers Hacked During ALGS Tournament, And The Suspected Cause Is Ironic
The Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) regional finals have been delayed for North America after two players were hacked mid-game over the weekend, and ironically, it seems the Apex’s anti-cheat software may be to blame.
DarkZero’s GenBurten (real name: Noyan Oskoze) was hit first, when he mysteriously gained the ability to see enemy players through walls in the middle of a match. Later, TSM’s ImperialHal (Phillip Dosen) suddenly found himself unintentionally aimbotting.
What is going on!? Apex player Genburten just got hacked mid-tournament and is now able to see EVERY player on the map.

“I’m cheating! I’m cheating! I’m cheating!” Dosen exclaimed in shock when he realized what was happening. “I’m f***ing cheating, I have aimbot!”
