Professional Fortnite Player Caught Using Map Hack after Cheat Maker Turns Snitch
The Fortnite World Cup has a $30 million dollar prize pool. That's more than enough to tempt anyone to cross over to the dark side. Player Johnathan Kosmala, a professional player representing Team Kaliber, did just that.
Kosmala was caught cheating using a maphack during the first week of qualifiers for the Fortnite World Cup in July. The cheat enables a map hack that highlights player locations, even through walls.
Ironically, it was the creator, known as CBV, who actually turned in Kosmala. According to CBV,
“[Kosmala’s] intentions were not to cheat in the video game, and you know, have fun, looking for a stream, stomp pubs — but to win money and scam other players who are playing legitimately,”
Team Kaliber released the following Tweet after the incident:

But in case you're wondering, CBV did issue a refund to Koamala for the amount he paid for the hack. This cheat maker certainly has very strong moral code!
