The Fortnite team has been banned for a major tournament after the player said Epic Exec would be killed

I don’t know much about it Fortnite, but I guess harassing an Epic executive is probably not a winning strategy.

A Fortnite competitor named Wrigley he tried this controversial technique Saturday night, tagging Epic’s creative head, Donald Mustard, in a tweet that said “literally fucking your $ elf” for some undisclosed reason. Several letters were replaced with symbols in an apparent attempt to prevent Twitter from automatically moderating against these threats, but the account has been deleted anyway.

While it was shit in its own right, Wrigley’s tweet came just before he and his teammates Dictate and Userz were scheduled to participate in the Fortnite Grand Final of the Champion Series for the NA East region, an important event for which they had managed to qualify after weeks of competition. When Wrigley was banned from the tournament, Dictate and Userz did the same, leaving the three in the cold while the rest of the field played for a nearly $ 700,000 piece over the weekend.

“I just played all this season for $ 0, oh my fucking god,” he dictates he wrote on Twitter shortly after sharing the Epic email explaining the disqualification of his team.

“I wish we could have a chance at an emergency sub-emergency,” Userz said added. “What Wrigley did was completely out of our control and we spent an infinite amount of time playing the game to have a chance to make money.”

According to the information provided in Polygon, Wrigley has agreed to compensate Dictate and Userz in some way to compensate for the ban.
