Aqua accused of stream sniping in Fortnite FNCS tournament

Right from Game 1, the trio of aqua, Rezon and Noah was already way ahead of everyone else. Within the first 4 games, they had managed two 1 place finishes wherein they confirmed their spot in the finals. And just then, in Game 5, Benjyfishy and his squad accused aqua of stream sniping in Game 5. By game 6, aqua and his squad weren’t a part of the lobby, either because they had all lost connection or, more likely, had been banned.

MrSavage also put out a couple of tweets suggesting that aqua was indeed stream sniping and also called for him to be banned.

Benjyfishy also had his own defense, where he mentioned how aqua was watching his stream and even typing in his chat.

This is obviously a huge deal. The players involved are some of the biggest names in the Fortnite community. Both sides have made their arguments for now. Nevertheless, aqua is still banned and won’t be able to compete any further. Hopefully, a decision will be made soon and the competitive team will review this matter as soon as possible.
