Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf, at the age of 16 years, claimed the world’s attention due to this success in Fortnite. Last year, as the Solos World Champion, he went home a millionaire. However, with the state of competitive Fortnite, cheating has run rampant. Accordingly, the world champion has just been accused – was Bugha match-fixing?
Cheating in competitive Fortnite has become a massive problem for Epic Games. Let’s look at the evidence.
Seemingly, “Bugha” was harmlessly playing at the online Fortnite Champion Series when a message appeared on his screen. It appeared as follows:
Naturally, he played innocent. Nobody would believe that world champion Bugha match-fixing was actually a thing. However, new updates has it that he was in a Discord with another competitor – Owl. Not feeling too well, Bugha owned up to being in the same Discord.
Then, as you can imagine, a flurry of defensive tweets surfaced from both parties. Twitter user SP has released certain clips which show the in-game communication:
Was Bugha cheating? In the grand scope of things, he could be saying the truth when stating that they defeaned one another in-game. Personally, the principle of having possible communication with competitors with so much money on the line is highly unacceptable.
He needs to tread carefully, or many will disregard his earlier achievements in his career.
