The reason for these cheating players who have been blocked for two weeks is not new, but the “6-player bug” that happened in January this year, which means that cross-platform play was closed, and then a group of team players took advantage of the loophole in the matching mechanism , in order to achieve the purpose of more easily hitting the field and washing points, according toForeign media reportsthis wave of blockade lists even reached the top hunting class of the arena.
With this wave of blocked lists coming out, a cheater found Conor Ford, via Instagram
Send a message to plead, hoping that Ford can lift his ban, in exchange, he is willing to shake out more cheaters in exchange for his account, which makes Ford dumbfounded.

Perhaps this is another example of “recovery of the French Open, but not omissions”, but this incident also highlights that the “6-player loophole” has not yet been resolved, and the fundamental problem is still too few players participating and cross-platform teaming. cannot be solved perfectly.
