Pro players accidentally cheat mid-match

The North American Apex Legends Finals have been postponed after hackers appeared to cheat competitors in the middle of tournament play, in an unprecedented attack on a major esports event.

The Apex Legends esports X account said the decision to stop and postpone the event, which took place on Sunday, March 17, had been made "due to the competitive integrity of this series being compromised."

Official comment on the incident ends there, but clips circulating online showed players suddenly getting cheats like aimbots and wall hacks while matches were in progress.
