In addition to his usual work of cracking down on cheaters, he has been accepting video evidence of encounters with cheaters and banning them if they are confirmed to be using cheating tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though Ford has been fighting against cheaters at the forefront, the fact that Ford is seemingly the only person handling user bans has been seen as a problem. SweetDreams, a member of the eSports team NRG criticized the lack of staffing back in June (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sweetdreamsh1\/status\/1409606705575612419\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">related Tweet<\/a>).

And in August, Ford reported that new members have joined the team. Apparently, Rin Matsuoka is one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">APEX\u30d5\u30a1\u30f3\u306e\u7686\u69d8\u3001\u30a2\u30b8\u30a2\u30b5\u30fc\u30d0\u30fc\u306e\u30bb\u30ad\u30e5\u30ea\u30c6\u30a3\u3092\u62c5\u5f53\u3055\u308c\u3066\u3044\u308b <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RSPN_ShikokuInu?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RSPN_ShikokuInu<\/a> \u3055\u3093\u3092\u662f\u975e\u30d5\u30a9\u30ed\u30fc\u3057\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\uff01<\/p>&mdash; Kai Layden (\u30ec\u30fc\u30c7\u30f3\u9b41) (@KaiLayden) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KaiLayden\/status\/1434312990069641224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 5, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>*Tweet from Kai Layden (the Japan Mobile Community Engagement Manager) introducing Matsuoka to Apex Legends users in Japan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment have set up various points of contact for reporting cheaters in <em>Apex Legends<\/em>.
