Red Foxes Hit with Second Cheating Controversy in Squad Esports

The competitive Squad scene has been rocked by another cheating scandal involving the Red Foxes, marking their second such controversy within just two tournaments. The latest incident emerged during the Titan League, hosted by 44th, and has resulted in severe penalties for the team.

Investigation and Findings:

The controversy began when an admin from the Titan League raised suspicions about a Red Foxes player. In collaboration with the tournament hosts and Red Foxes an investigation was launched to examine the allegations. The findings were damning: the player in question was found to be using ESP (wall hacks), providing them with an unfair advantage by revealing the positions of enemy players.

Further scrutiny revealed that this player was operating on an alternate account, as their main account had previously been banned from Squad due to similar cheating activities. The main account’s appeal had been denied, confirming the player’s continued attempts to circumvent the ban.

Consequences:

Following the announcement by 44th, the player has been permanently banned from all Titan League tournaments. In addition, Red Foxes have been hit with a significant penalty of -150 tickets. This penalty proved decisive, altering the outcome of their match against Iron Warriors, resulting in an Iron Warriors victory.

This incident is a major setback for Red Foxes, tarnishing their reputation in the competitive Squad community and casting a shadow over their recent performances. The team will now have to work hard to rebuild trust and ensure fair play moving forward.
