SAN FRANCISCO: Organisers of the Apex Legends Global Series eSports tournament have postponed an event after two competitors appeared to be hacked while playing separate games during the North American finals.
The shooter game, developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts, announced the shutdown Sunday night on social media after pro players were given unwanted cheat hacks as they were competing.
