Being salty when not doing well at video games is a fairly common sentiment amongst those in the competitive gaming community. However, especially when directed at those who run that game, there\u00a0are lines that shouldn’t\u00a0crossed, something one pro\u00a0Fortnite<\/em><\/strong> team has come to learn\u00a0the hard way.<\/p>\n

Epic Games’ popular free-to-play battle royale is currently\u00a0wrapping up\u00a0its fifth season of Chapter 2. The crossover-heavy season brought a wide variety of characters to the island, including\u00a0God of War<\/em>‘s Kratos,\u00a0Halo<\/em>‘s Master Chief, and more. Set to begin tomorrow,\u00a0Fortnite\u00a0<\/em>has been steadily releasing bits and pieces of information, with a unique solo experience kicking things off for Season 6<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Epic Games has reportedly kicked out a\u00a0Fortnite<\/em><\/a> team from competing in the ongoing Fortnite Championship Series, or FNCS. The teamwide boot stems from a particularly nasty tweet from one of the teams players, Wrigley. While the tweet has since been deleted, along with the deactivation of the entire account, Eurogamer managed to view it beforehand. The profanity-laden tweet reportedly told Donald Mustard to go kill himself. For those who don’t know, Donald Mustard is\u00a0Fortnite<\/em>‘s director and Chief Creative Officer at Epic Games. Basically the last person any scorned\u00a0Fortnite<\/em>\u00a0competitor should attempt to call out.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Fortnite<\/em> tournament organizers responded quickly. Teammate Dictate posted a tweet which appears to be a screenshotted email from Epic,\u00a0spelling\u00a0out the team’s consequences. The email says that the team would be disqualified and removed from the FNCS effective immediately due to a violation of tournament rules. More specifically, Epic cited Section 8.1.2, which states, “Players must be respectful of other players, Event Administrators, spectators, and sponsors,” leading to a somewhat similar situation\u00a0of when\u00a0another\u00a0Fortnite<\/em> pro was banned from a tournament<\/a> over inappropriate comments.<\/p>\n
