Fortnite Pros Joji and Inspyre respond to teaming accusations
This brings new information to light. As Joji mentions, he knows Aimbotta for the past two years and used to team up with him. He is only making these accusations because now he doesn’t play with him anymore and wants to ruin Joji’s career. Apparently, he even got hold of Joji’s personal Snapchat and DM’ed him his own address. If that’s true, that is creepy and not cool at all.
Inspyre also posted two more videos that seemingly prove his innocence.

But this seemed even more controversial considering he himself was accused of teaming up with Owl during a solos match. Even though it is not cheating to be on the same call during a match, people still accused him of exchanging information with Owl. Even though a lot of people defended him, this statement does seem a little controversial considering he also got a Competitive Warning.

This raises some serious questions about Epic’s way of handling things. Their security failed to detect an actual cheater who made it through the FNCS Semis. He was only banned AFTER he streamed himself using the hacks that he got for just $11. And here the company is handing out warnings to pros based on accusations where they have also provided proof which supposedly proves their innocence. There are some serious issues the developers need to fix if they are to maintain the popularity and the integrity of Fortnite. Let’s see what Epic does to clean up its own mess
