The NRG star has claimed that Tfue cheats in Fortnite and uses macros to gain an edge over opponents against the FNCS rules. FNCS are the Fortnite Champion Series Invitational, a competition for the best players worldwide. 
In a tweet now deleted on June 8, Zayt claimed that he would "unmask all professionals who use double- motion macros ". With these bindings, keyboard and mouse players can move and sprint in one direction as if on a controller while looking in the other. This can be a huge advantage, especially in professional games, because you can not only avoid the storm coming closer, but also enable you to watch exactly what your opponents are doing without having to change direction. 

However, this is completely forbidden in the pro scene because the use of macros violates the FNCS rules. Zayt had apprehended in a tweet, which he has, however, now deleted, that he expose "all professionals to harsh accusations against a colleague. He had evidence that Only stream r  TFUE macros used and this would make public soon.

Fortnite: Epic Games sees macros as cheating - Tfue remains silent

Zayt had previously accused not only Tfue , but also five other professional players. Zayt has since withdrawn these allegations . In a statement to Fortnite Intel, he said that "there is currently no evidence that anyone [cheats] other than Tfue ."

Epic Games itself is relatively strict when using macro keys and even cites this as a reason for fraud. For example, the use of macro keys in the rules and regulations of the FNCS has been clearly prohibited by Epic Games in North Carolina . As an example of unfair behavior, the rules say "Using macro keys or similar methods to automate in-game actions."

Tfue has not yet commented on Zayt's comments . He has been accused of fraud on numerous occasions in the past, but all of these allegations have since been withdrawn. In Zayt it is not the first time that he about other players Fortnite scolds. Zayt had previously complained about various Fortnite players who violated the FNCS rules in professional games. For example, the player has seen some professionals "teaming" or players who have accepted "gifts" from others. 

Reminder that controller still is busted and requires no skill

As long as no official investigation results from Epic Games have been announced, the allegations remain open. Even though macros are not allowed at Fortnite , there is another cool trick at Fortnite. Ingame.de shows how you can build flying bombs at Fortnite *.
