Epic Games is known for its stance against cheating. However, players teaming up during a tournament asks a lot of questions about cheater regulations. One of these questions included FaZe Jarvis. After the community expressed its hate for cheaters, they stood in solidarity with Jarvis. 

With other streamers and pro players like Nickmercs, Ronaldo, Clix, BenjyFishy, etc. reacting on Twitter, how long can Epic maintain their silence? This sort of problem has happened in the past, but not with this magnitude.

Epic has made tall statements before about fixing problems, but this is somewhere they need to deliver. Their priority is a little unsettling, giving party royale more preference, as stated by Ronaldo.
