ALGS regional finals suspended due to hacking

This whole thing is an absolute embarrassment to EA, Respawn, and Apex.

Instead of shrugging their shoulders, EA/Respawn should of taken the game offline until further investigations, which would of determined if the game was safe to play, and to patch out any issues that they come across. (Which, they should of taken action months ago, especially when the hacker was giving pros a bunch of packs, and was even opening it on their accounts). This should of been a MASSIVE red flag that it needed to be looked into.

Also, from what I can tell, understand, and gather, Gen really didn't notice they had aimbot, and I didn't even notice they had knocked a different player until I saw the one who I thought they knocked still shooting at Gen, which at that moment the cheat GUI popped up, and Gen had to leave.

Hal on the other hand, noticed the hack, told his team, and yet stayed in the match and kept playing despite being told to disconnect. A few of the other players were even shot down by Hal while the aimbot was active by the remote hack. This to me is still considered to be cheating even though Hal didn't install the cheats.

Also, why wasn't the match ended the MOMENT the hacks were discovered? Why was it allowed to keep on being played out? The ALGS Twitter had announced afterwards that they're postponing the event due to the tournament's integrity. WHERE was that concern when Gen unknowingly had aimbotted another, and found out they had wall hacks too? The event should of been instantly ended right then and there, especially when it became clear that it wasn't Gen's fault.

I really hope they fix the game, get a better anti-cheat, and perma ban Hal for using cheats they knew they suddenly had, and for refusing to maintain the game's fairness and integrity by staying in the match, but I won't hold my breath.

For those of you who think Hal shouldn't be banned, he literally shot players down after staying in the match, which was after saying he "just won't shoot". He understood he was given cheats, and yet didn't do anything to stop them from being used like how Gen did. This should NOT be overlooked.

If I was Hal, I would of instantly ALT + F4'ed without hesitating, told my team I got hacked, and notified the admins. NOT stay and abuse the cheats.
