The Completionist’s charity accused of failing to report donations following controversy IG: thecompletionistThe Completionist’s charity organization, The Open Hand Foundation, has been accused by Karl Jobst of failing to report donations. This comes after initial allegations that the charity was withholding funds. Jirard Khalil, known better by his internet handle The Completionist, has recently come under fire for his involvement in suspected fraud. The Open Hand Foundation, a charity organization run by The Completionist and his family, was the target of an investigation by Karl Jobst and SomeOrdinaryGamers’ Mutahar. In their investigations, both Jobst and Mutahar alleged that The Completionist’s Open Hand Foundation was withholding over $600,000 in donations. The donations in question were raised for Dementia research, primarily via The Completionist’s famous IndieLand charity stream. In a new video published on YouTube, Jobst has reported that “the situation is much worse than we previously let on”. He investigated another revenue stream for the Completionist’s charity and is now accusing The Open Hand Foundation of failing to report donations. The Open Hand Foundation’s charity golf tournament In Jobst’s video, he reveals that Open Hand hosts a charitable golf tournament in which proceeds are stated to go towards Dementia research. The golf tournament has been running since 2003 and has garnered major sponsorships from companies like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Monster Energy. According to Jobst, this golf tournament “pulls in tens of thousands of dollars in sponsorships a year”. His video included a graphic showing sponsorship packages ranging between $750 to $10,000. The publicly available data collected by Jobst showed that this golf tournament raised between around $30,000 and $60,000 annually in the years ranging from 2014 to 2017. “The interesting thing about the money the golf tournament raises is that it seems to disappear,” Jobst alleged. He went onto explain how this related to his earlier investigation on The Completionist and IndieLand. What does this have to do with The Completionist? Prior to 2018, this golf tournament was the only event raising money for The Open Hand Foundation. When The Completionist’s IndieLand charity stream began, the charity found its second source of donations. Jobst notes that with the increasing success of IndieLand, and the stable stream of donations from the golf tournament, there should be a tangible impact on The Open Hand Foundation’s filing of charitable earnings. This impact is not seen in Jobst’s data. “All of the filings from 2019 onwards show the same pattern,” he explains. “Almost all of the revenue raised can be attributed to IndieLand, and hardly anything seems to come from the golf cup. Despite photos clearly showing it has multiple massive sponsors paying up to $10,000 each.” “Certainly, tens of thousands of dollars at least in donations every single year are going missing,” Jobst claims. “The question is how and where.” He also gives evidence that he believes suggests this was happening before The Completionist established The Open Hand Foundation. “The golf cup was taking in donations without contributing any of the money it raised long before Indie Land even started,” Jobst asserted. “When Indie Land came along, it did the exact same thing. This doesn’t happen by accident.” “I think at this point, I’ve uncovered enough to confidently say that something very criminal is happening with the Open Hand Foundation,” Jobst said before directing his audience to the appropriate authorities for reporting fraud. Both The Completionist and The Open Hand Foundation have yet to publicly respond to Jobst and Mutahar’s initial accusations. While these most recent allegations are quite fresh Jobst claims “they’re burying their head in the sand and ignoring the situation, hoping it blows over”.

The Cleaning Addict Taking Over the Internet | Aurikatariina – Dexerto
The Cleaning Addict Taking Over the Internet | Aurikatariina DexertoAuri Katariina Kananen is famous for cleaning some of the messiest homes on the internet — and her obsession with cleanliness has made her an icon both online and in her home country of Finland. You may have seen some of Auri Katariina Kananen’s videos while scrolling through social media. The Finnish influencer is known far and wide for cleaning up some of the messiest houses out there — without charging her clients a single penny. Kananen’s videos have garnered millions of views across multiple social platforms, showing the creator clearing out nasty homes with stunning results. The before and afters make the houses she cleans look brand-new, but it’s the stories behind the grime that leave viewers feeling truly satisfied. Kananen told us what kickstarted her cleaning journey and why she cleans homes for free in an exclusive interview with Dexerto, showing off just how much of a famous figure she’s become both at home and abroad due to her efforts. Click here to watch the full interview. How a cleaning “obsession” led to international fame Kananen says her path to viral fame first started after she recorded herself cleaning the home of one of her Tinder dates as a birthday gift. The video racked up 5 million views almost instantly, with Kananen gaining 100,000 followers after uploading it. Since then Kananen’s social media following has skyrocketed as a result, with folks across the internet wanting her to clean their homes, too. She’s now “addicted” to cleaning, saying she wants to “find dirtier and dirtier places” to clean. She’s even been conscripted to clean homes all around the globe, saying she’s cleaned in the U.K., Switzerland, Sweden, and claims she has plans to clean in France and even Miami, Florida. How cleaning helps a mental health crisis But what made Kanenen so obsessed with cleaning? To start, she told us that her life wasn’t always the ‘squeaky clean’ success story viewers see today. In fact, the influencer said she was severely depressed as a teen, but after getting better with the help of a therapist, she realized she wanted to help others who were struggling with their mental health just like she had. “When I was young, I was depressed,” she told us. “My life just sucked. Like, I thought that I would never live this long, like never ever. Or, I hoped I wouldn’t live.” After volunteering for a suicide hotline, Kananen began cleaning houses for depressed people who were struggling with their condition so much that they couldn’t keep up with their own housework — something that’s a major theme in many of her videos. “I can understand that you can be a completely different person,” she explained. “You can do things that you normally wouldn’t do. Like you can live amongst filth, but if you were normal or healthy, you wouldn’t do that.” Aurikatariina explains why she cleans homes for free That’s not all; Kananen does her work completely for free. Knowing that it would cost thousands to clear out some of these homes, Kanenen claims that her videos rack up hundreds of thousands of dollars, allowing her to clean without charging her clients and further adding to their stress (while still making jaw-dropping amounts of cash). “Some people would want to pay me, but I don’t accept any money,” she said. “They need their money more than me.” Aurikatariina wins awards for viral cleaning videos Kananen’s videos are some of the most satisfying content out there, and it’s clear that people love watching her transform dirty homes into clean abodes. At the time of writing, Kanenen boasts over 19 million combined followers thanks to her hard work; more than three times the entire population of her home country, Finland. Kananen has also won multiple awards in Finland as a result of her viral cleaning videos, including Iltalehti Magazine’s Breakthrough of the Year. “It’s nice and it means that I have done something. I have shown the whole world how fun and easy cleaning is, so I feel like this is the reward of that,” she said. Kananen loves her job and helping people in need, saying that cleaning up dirt and grime is the “best feeling.” With plans to clean up even more homes abroad in the future, it’s clear that her “obsession” with cleaning is benefitting many people and even inspiring folks to clean their own homes, too.

The Completionist returns to Twitch for a “new beginning” following charity fallout – Dexerto
The Completionist returns to Twitch for a “new beginning” following charity fallout The Completionist | YouTubeThe Completionist has returned to content creation following a massive scandal in which he was accused of charity fraud. In a now-deleted Twitch stream, he outlined his plans going forward. In November 2023, popular YouTuber and Twitch streamer The Completionist was embroiled in controversy after investigative reports from fellow creators Karl Jobst and Mutahar alleged he had committed charity fraud. Jobst and Mutahar’s claims extended to accusations that The completionist withheld over $600,000 in donations to the IndieLand charity stream and even failed to report other income. After apologizing, The Completionist threatened legal action against his accusers before they released damning audio of the streamer begging not to be exposed. A little over two weeks after the most recent update in the saga, The Completionist has returned to Twitch. Despite the stream being deleted, archived footage was posted to The Completionist’s Subreddit where he briefly addressed the controversy and announced plans to continue creating content. During the stream, The Completionist revealed that he was forced to lay off a large portion of the staff for his company That One Video Gamer (TOVG). “TOVG as a company has downsized significantly. I decided to basically close up shop for a majority of the team,” he explained. “There’s still a team that’s with me but it’s much, much, much smaller, and now individuals are looking for jobs,” he continued. Following this, The Completionist went over the decision to return to content creation. “I’m rebuilding, that’s what it is and if people don’t like me and don’t want me to be around, that’s okay. I’m sure some folks do,” he argued. Despite returning to the public The Completionist mentioned that he would refrain from going into detail about the charity fraud controversy. He briefly insinuated that there were legal reasons that were preventing him from discussing the matter further. “At this time I’m not gonna talk about anything going forward just because of the fact that there’s a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes that I can’t talk about.” When queried by his chat about whether or not they would get any answers from him related to the charity fraud allegations, The Completionist alluded to the potential of more discussion about the topic. However, he also expressed that he wanted to “move on from it”. “One day I’m sure I’ll provide more concrete receipts and clear things up but as of right now I’m just dropping it where it is,” he finished.

The Chainsmokers reveal truth about Benny Blanco & Charlie Puth TikTok ‘feud’ on IMPAULSIVE YouTube: ImpaulsiveMusical duo ‘The Chainsmokers’ have revealed the truth behind the viral TikTok ‘feud’ between Benny Blanco and Charlie Puth on an episode of IMPAULSIVE with Logan Paul. Alongside the growing pool of TikTok creators going viral every single day are a variety of mainstream celebrities, with a large amount of them being musicians using the app as a tool to promote their latest release. Two of those creators are Benny Blanco and Charlie Puth. Benny is an award-winning record producer and according to him, he probably wrote your favorite pop song. Charlie gained viral popularity as a singer after teaming up with Wiz Khalifa for the song ‘See you Again’ as a tribute to Paul Walker. While Puth was promoting the impending release of his song ‘Light Switch,’ Benny started a ‘feud’ with the singer on TikTok that fans all over the world believed was real as it received millions of views across all of the videos. On a March 29 episode of IMPAULSIVE, The Chainsmokers — Alex Pall and Andrew Taggert — revealed the truth behind the viral videos, stating that they heard about it from Charlie Puth himself. The Chainsmokers on the viral TikTok ‘feud’ While the group was talking about how Logan and KSI put themselves out there for the release of Prime Hydration, the topic shifted to an interaction that George Janko had with Benny Blanco. George revealed that he told Blanco that he loved how he kept “s***ting” on Charlie Puth – which then brought up the topic of their viral TikTok feud. Alex turned to Andrew and said: “The Charlie Puth thing was not real, it was all just a joke right?” Seconds later, Andrew replied: “I don’t think we can expose that here.” (Topic starts at 48:20 in the video) However, Taggert went on to explain: “Okay, So Charlie told me it wasn’t real. He said they’re close friends.” The Chainsmokers are one of the most popular electronic musicians in recent days and just released their latest single ‘iPad’ on March 11, 2022. At the time of writing, the YouTube video has been watched over four million times.

The Boys spinoff Gen V faces backlash over PewDiePie comments – Dexerto
The Boys spinoff Gen V faces backlash over PewDiePie comments YouTube: PewDiePieThe Boys spinoff show, Gen V, is facing backlash from PewDiePie fans after a character in the series made a divisive comment about the famous YouTuber. Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg is the second most-subscribed creator on YouTube. He’s been making videos on the platform for nearly thirteen years and has accrued over 111 million subscribers. Although PewDiePie is now enjoying a quiet life in Japan with his wife Marzia and their newborn baby, Bjorn, the YouTube star has endured quite a bit of controversy throughout his career — namely after he used a racial slur during a live stream back in 2017. In the months that followed, the YouTuber came under fire for his content, with critics accusing him of racist behavior. Since then, these accusations have seemingly died down… but the sentiment remains, as seen in a line recently used in the show ‘Gen V,’ a spin off of Amazon’s ‘The Boys.’ Gen V’s PewDiePie line sparks outrage from fans Gen V follows a group of college-aged superheroes attending a university to hone their superpowers, based in the same universe as ‘The Boys.’ In one scene, a character (who is an influencer and boasts a YouTube channel) calls herself “kind of like PewDiePie without the **** stuff.” The line went viral on social media, with many fans of the YouTuber seemingly upset about the comment. “Instantly not watching now,” one user wrote on Twitter/X. “Terrible writing.” “Can they be any more out of touch?” another asked. Can they be any more out of touch? pic.twitter.com/XJ6evNo3XE — Katie Roome (@RedHedgedragon) October 9, 2023 “I just watched this first episode of Gen V and it was good. Well, except for that line. It was cringe. But hey, PewDiePie’s mission right now is being a good father to his kid. God bless him for that,” another said. I just watched this first episode of GenV and it was good. Well, except for that line. It was cringe. But hey, #Pewdiepie’s mission right now is busy being a good father to his kid. God bless him for that. — Nelson Guerrero (@Kizaru7Twilight) October 10, 2023 PewDiePie himself has not publicly commented on the line at the time of writing, and continues to upload vlogs showing his daily life with his new family in Japan.

The British royal orchestra covered popular Blackpink song and fans are freaking out Youtube: BLACKPINKOutside Buckingham Palace, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra performed a cover of Blackpink’s “DUU-DU DDU-DU,” and fans are losing their minds. On November 21, Global sensation Blackpink was invited to Buckingham Palace to attend a state banquet, which honored South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and First Lady Kim Keon Hee. During the event, K-pop band members Lisa, Jisoo, Rosé, and Jennie were also awarded honorary MBEs (Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) for their advocacy of environmental stability at the COP26 Summit in Glasgow. Blackpink joins the ranks of such previous honorees as The Beatles, PJ Harvey, and Adele. They are the first non-British artist to be honored. The British royal orchestra reinvented a Blackpink song As an unexpected treat, the royal orchestra took to honoring the group with a horn-laded rendition of Blackpink’s smash “DDU-DU DDU-DU.” Outside Buckingham Palace, the musicians ripped into the song and delighted fans both in-person and online. Fans were quick to take to Twitter/X to express their excitement. “That’s a royal performance! BLACKPINK’s energy reaching Buckingham Palace is truly a global sensation.

The Black TikTok dance strike: Why creators are refusing to create new trends – Dexerto
The Black TikTok dance strike: Why creators are refusing to create new trends Instagram, @theericklouis / TikTok, @hayleealexisssBlack TikTok creators have made waves in the platform’s community by going on a “dance strike.” Reacting to a lack of credit, some creators are refusing to make dances as proof that the platform depends on their creativity. With TikTok continuing to be one of the highest-reaching, fastest-growing social media platforms, there has been concern over the lack of credit and exposure for Black creators. As is popularly noted, while white creators find tremendous success with dance videos — the Black creators behind those dances go relatively unnoticed. Notably, TikTok stars like Addison Rae have come under backlash for profiting off of dances they did not create and failing to credit those behind them. Now, some Black creators are striking in order to prove that other, particularly white, creators will struggle to come up with dances without their help. Started by TikTok’s Erick Louis (@theericklouis), Black creators are refusing to make dances for Megan Thee Stallion’s “Thot S**t.” A Twitter thread from LeslieMac shows just how hilarious some of the results have been. https://twitter.com/LeslieMac/status/1406630859596259329 As LeslieMac notes, there’s a new trend in which Black creators refuse to make a dance for “Thot S**t” in order to see what their white cohorts will come up with. And now, seeing what people did come up with… the point seems to have been proven. With a song about hands on knees and shaking ass, the most popular dance videos seem to involve arms raised high. Unsurprised, Twitter is reacting by 1) laughing and roasting, and 2) noting how much TikTok influencers rely on Black creators. A popular TikTok in response involves a white woman, ‘xosugarbunny,’ agreeing with the second point: “I don’t ever wanna hear another f**king white woman say that TikTok dances and TikTok trends aren’t entirely stolen from Black women.” This the one! Crazy how this randomly came down my FYP pic.twitter.com/cA0J76ohlg — LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!! (@TheRealJayCee__) June 21, 2021 Contrasting the song’s hands-on-knees lyrics with the arms-raised-high dance attempts, sugarbunny brutally roasts those who refuse to credit Black creators for TikTok trends. The issue over credit is rightfully earning its shine, as it has existed for the entire platform’s lifespan. When Addison Rae was criticized for profiting off of dances she did not originate, the star agreed that it was “hard to credit during the show.” Well, it seems like TikTok influencers should start figuring out how to credit the originators behind their dance videos. If not, the strike may continue and the platform’s choreography will struggle.

The best musicians to follow on TikTok: Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X and more – Dexerto
The best musicians to follow on TikTok: Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X and more Instagram: lilnasx, Charli XCX, Britney Spears, Charlie PuthBillie Eilish, Joe Jonas, Joe Jonas, Britney Spears: Here are some of the best music artists on TikTok right now helping their songs blow up, providing us with some good quality humor and content. The new test for any music artist right now is building up a following on TikTok. With millions of users worldwide and an algorithm that quickly allows content to go viral, a viral song can raise your career profile. Two good examples of this are Olivia Rodrigo, whose career blew up after her songs ‘deja vu’ and ‘drivers’ license’ became viral trends. The second being Charli XCX who saw a rise in popularity after an old song of hers became a viral dance challenge. To compile this list, music artists like Dua Lipa have been left out as a lot of their content hasn’t specifically with TikTok in mind featuring clips from music videos and concert performances. Famous TikTokers like Addison Rae, Dixie D’Amelio, and Bella Poarch who have ventured into the music industry after gaining a following have also been left out. Charli XCX British singer Charli XCX is one of the most active users on TikTok with 78 videos posted since January 2020. These have ranged from jokes about having to sign douches for fans, dancing in a green spandex suit, to dancing with Addison Rae and Charli D’Amelio. In November 2020, one of Charli’s songs ‘Unlock It’ went insanely viral on the app. Since then, her following has only increased with one of her latest videos getting over 13.5 million views splicing together a promotional video for her new album with a clip from the horror film ‘Hereditary’. Charlie Puth One unexpected star on TikTok is ‘See You Again’ singer Charli Puth who regularly posted content though largely unfiltered. His videos have come in the form of duets, putting his own spin on trends, jokes about large male genitalia, and his life as a single man. A recent video of his that has over 17.3 million views has Puth breaking down the creation of The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber’s new song ‘Stay’. Lizzo Lizzo has long been one of TikTok’s top music stars posting videos of her doing dance trends, dueting with herself, and much more. She also uses her TikTok to promote self-worth and self-love and isn’t afraid to be sexual. One video of hers that has received over 16 million views just shows Lizzo eating a variety of vegetables throughout her day including a long eggplant. She’s also been heavily promoting her new single through her videos using a call with Cardi B to tease the new song as well as using a viral sound from the app. Since receiving hate for her new song, Lizzo has sought to amplify positive voices over the negative. Joe Jonas Despite releasing the odd single in the last few years, you’d be forgiven for thinking Joe Jonas no longer existed in the spotlight. However, he’s very active on TikTok with 96 videos and 4.1 million followers. He often duets with fans and other users and is also not afraid to poke fun at himself. A recent video of his with over 11 million views where Jonas videoed himself looking all moody as he walked down the street. He’s wearing a wig reminiscent of his days in the Jonas brothers while a 2007 song by the Jonas Brothers ‘S.O.S.’ plays. Read more: Love Islander goes viral for playing the piano “like a six year-old” – Other recent videos include Jonas videoing an animated giant duck outside his balcony and showing off his gymnastics skills to Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘traitor’. He isn’t the only Jonas brother to be a hit on TikTok either. Doja Cat No music artist has mastered the art of going viral on TikTok more than Doja Cat (Amala Dlamini). Many of her biggest hits from ‘Candy’ to ‘Say So’ to ‘Streets’ came about after featuring viral challenges and trends on the app. Most of Dlamini’s videos on her TikTok are just offering her thoughts of the day, often appearing makeup keeping her account personal and casual for fans. https://www.tiktok.com/@dojacat/video/6962003001947081990?lang=en&is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1 With catchy melodies and iconic lyrics, it’s not too surprising that Doja Cat’s songs have gone viral on an app where that combination is bound to start a trend. A recent single of hers, ‘Kiss Me More’, was the latest to start a trend and has been used over 2.8 million times. ‘Say So’ is nearly 14 million. One video featured Doja mocking another user on the app when they claimed “hot girl summer does not exist“. The video went insanely viral getting over 50 million views. Olivia Rodrigo Olivia Rodrigo, like Doja Cat, is another music artist who has managed to crack the code for getting her songs to go viral. Her debut single ‘drivers’ license has been used more than 2 million times and her follow-ups ‘good 4 u’ and ‘deja vu’ have been used 3 million and 1.7 million times respectively. The videos on her TikTok have all received at least ten million views. Her most viewed video that has been seen more than 60 million times is she discussed the journey that ‘drivers’ license’ took to becoming a single. The song has sold more than 3 million copies in the US alone. Britney Spears The world’s chanting #FreeBritney from CorpseHusband to Elon Musk but did you know that she had a TikTok account too? A lot of the videos show Britney showing off her latest outfits as well as seeking to be empowering to her fans. One recent video of hers was captioned “We all have our own ways to work on our bodies and I respect that cause we all should.” One of her most popular videos is her wishing her LGBTQ+ fans a happy Pride month. Billie Eilish Just ahead of Selena Gomez, Billie Eilish sits at number 3 behind BTS and Jason Derulo for music artists with the most followers. Eilish posts relatable content from her eating bread to using funny filters like the time warp scan. https://www.tiktok.com/@billieeilish/video/6983923555671035141?lang=en&is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1 One of her most viewed videos is a reaction to a TikTok featuring a person talking about a stick her deceased dog used to love. Other posts by Eilish include using the viral Time warp scan as well as promoting her new album. Lil Nas X Lil Nas X is no stranger to going viral with his account blowing up when he recently teased a new single by making out that he was going to jail. The strategy worked with the song ‘Industry Baby’ becoming a smash hit with over 80 million views on YouTube already. Lil Nas usually claps back at haters in his videos, sharing his tweets, and jokingly teased an uncensored version of his music video. Camilla Cabello Having posted 46 videos in her time on TikTok, Camilla Cabello is no stranger to going viral with some videos of hers getting more than 20 million views. One viral TikTok features both Camilla and Shawn Mendes staring at the camera while a filter plays with their mouth and nose. She went viral a few weeks ago for a body-positive TikTok after she showed her belly out in public while running.

The best memes reacting to Olivia Rodrigo’s new album SOUR – Dexerto
The best memes reacting to Olivia Rodrigo’s new album SOUR YouTube: Olivia RodrigoDisney star-turned pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo released her highly-anticipated debut album, SOUR, on May 21 – and it’s been a huge hit with fans. In the 24 hours following its release, SOUR has been streamed over a billion times on Spotify, making it the second-most streamed album by a female artist this year. It has also been announced that 18-year-old Rodrigo has even surpassed Taylor Swift – who co-wrote the song ‘1 step forward, 3 steps back’ with Rodrigo – to become the #1 selling artist on digital platforms around the world. With her heartbreak anthems, there is no doubt that Rodrigo’s new album is a cultural reset, so her army of fans decided to show their appreciation in the way every Gen Z should – with a string of hilarious memes. Joshua Bassett was the focus of a lot of memes Although it hasn’t been confirmed, it is a common belief among Olivia’s fanbase that ‘Driver’s License’ and SOUR as a whole is inspired by the alleged relationship between Rodrigo and her High School Musical the Musical The Series co-star Joshua Bassett. With Bassett since starting a romance with fellow Disney star Sabrina Carpenter, fans have long believed that the three have been embroiled in a love triangle and are taking swipes at each other through their respective music careers. Naturally, with SOUR bringing more insight into Rodrigo’s alleged heartbreak, several memes about Bassett have gone viral. the rest of the hsmtmts cast when olivia rodrigo and joshua bassett are writing music about each other in between scenes pic.twitter.com/WYuuF2fmGK — sm🦋 (@smhcharu) May 21, 2021 https://twitter.com/strwberrycaro/status/1395612268096860160 olivia rodrigo after seeing joshua bassett move on with sabrina carpenter #SOUR #SOUROlivia pic.twitter.com/Rh15mIAImR — discount dakota johnson (taylor’s version) (@k__d13) May 21, 2021 joshua bassett may need to go into the witness protection program i fear — bri (@bribrisimps) May 21, 2021 Other fans couldn’t get over how relatable the album was Moving away from the Joshua Bassett drama, some fans found themselves reconnecting with their high school selves. They shared awkward memories of their own teenage romances and joked about how the pop-punk elements of Olivia’s album made them dramatically change their whole personality. Other fans, even geriatric millennials, were shocked at how relatable some of the lyrics of the album were, as well as how fast the album switched between bad girl vibes and tears. https://twitter.com/SaintHoax/status/1396131995089051651 https://twitter.com/ooclivrodrigo/status/1396133668725288962 Sour by Olivia Rodrigo really came and attacked me today, huh? pic.twitter.com/ieXEiei3ll — Nora Dominick (@noradominick) May 21, 2021 https://twitter.com/ayeshachair/status/1395410053482663939 https://twitter.com/sourxmanova/status/1395603811545190402 https://twitter.com/ASTRONAUTCASSI/status/1395743489476943872 me before and after listening to “brutal” by olivia rodrigo pic.twitter.com/SmuSjPHII1 — keaton bell (@keatonkildebell) May 21, 2021 Ultimately, as a lot of fans on Twitter pointed out, it looks like it’s going to be a “SOUR girl’s summer”.

The Beast vs the Mountain fight postponed as Eddie Hall suffers horrific injury – Dexerto
The Beast vs the Mountain fight postponed as Eddie Hall suffers horrific injury Instagram, @eddiehallwsm, @thorbjornssonThe highly anticipated boxing match between Eddie “the Beast” Hall and Hafthor “the Mountain” Bjornsson has been indefinitely postponed due to a horrific injury sustained by Hall. Many were excited for the matchup between rival strongmen, the Beast and the Mountain. Aside from exciting nicknames, both men are professional weightlifters who, themselves, weigh over 300 pounds. Unfortunately, the matchup has had to be delayed. This is a serious disappointment for both fans and the fighters, especially considering how shredded Hall’s training had helped him become and how confident Bjornsson’s preparation had him feeling. Around two months before the scheduled fight, Hall revealed the devastating news on July 25. Apparently, during a recent training session, the 33-year-old strongman suffered a detached bicep while throwing a punch. As Hall explained, he’s already gotten surgery for the injury and things are looking up. While the fight will, understandably, need to be delayed, he is confident that he’ll be back in form soon enough for a reschedule. For the timeline, the Beast laid it all out on the table based on the doctor’s orders: “Two weeks I’ll be back training, three weeks, four weeks, I think about six weeks I can start back boxing. And then it’s the comeback.” Past that, he made sure to mention how this affects his bout with Hafthor — and toss in some trash talk: “It’s not the end of the world and yes, it gives Thor an advantage, but he needs all the advantage he can get so I’m not that bothered really.” https://twitter.com/Dexerto/status/1419399240644759552 Later, footage did emerge of the uncomfortable injury. Just as he explained, Hall goes to throw a right hook and immediately reels in pain. It definitely seemed like a painful injury, but — on the plus side — Hall appears happy with his surgery and confident in his recovery timeline. While the fight was originally scheduled for September 18, 2021, this detached bicep situation certainly clouds the schedule. It appears that Bjornsson will get to fight someone else, as scheduled, but fans will need to wait for an update on the rescheduled bout between Mountain and Beast.

The Avengers 4: Endgame – Trailer, release date and everything we know so far – Dexerto
The Avengers 4: Endgame – Trailer, release date and everything we know so far One of the most highly-anticipated film trailers ever might be about to drop. *Update: April 2* Marvel have released a new ‘special look’ teaser trailer to co-incide with the release of tickets for the highly-anticipated blockbuster. *Update: March 14* Marvel have released a second full trailer for Avengers Endgame. In addition, a new poster for the film featuring the central stars has also been released. *Update: February 4* A second look at Avengers: Endgame was revealed in a TV spot for Super Bowl LII. *Update: December 7* The Avengers: Endgame Trailer is here. Poster The first official poster for Avengers: Endgame has been revealed. Release date Though originally slated for a May 3 release in the United states, it seems the film will now be released on April 26, the date that was already set for some countries such as the United Kingdom. *Update: December 5* Several supposed release dates have passed, and still no trailer for the next Avengers film has appeared, resulting in an increasingly tortured fan-base. Nevertheless, there are currently reports of two potential options for the trailers release, and both suggest that it is imminent. After the trailer failed to appear between November 28-30 as previously expected, reports surfaced that Marvel were planning to release a new trailer for Captain Marvel on Monday December 3, and the Avengers trailer would arrive on Wednesday December 5. The Captain Marvel trailer did in fact release on December 3, but since then further reports have suggested that the Avengers trailer release date might have been changed once again, but that the new date – Friday December 7 – was final. Regardless of which reports prove accurate, it seems Marvel fans should keep an eye out over the coming days. Original article, November 26: The trailer for Avengers 4, the as-yet-untitled sequel to Marvel’s record-breaking Avengers: Infinity War, is expected to debut on November 28. Avengers: Infinity War was the first of a two-part story that technically ends “Phase Three” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but in reality it’s the culmination of the more than 20 films across over 10 years that have created the cinematic behemoth that is the MCU. Fans have been clamoring for Avengers 4 news ever since the stunning ending to Infinity War, but so far Marvel have been silent, not releasing so much as the film’s title. There was initially speculation that the first trailer would drop on Black Friday, November 23, but instead Disney – who own Marvel – released the trailer for the Lion King remake on that day. Now, reports suggest that the trailer will be released online on November 28 or 29, either just before, alongside, or just after an Infinity War screening and Q&A that directors Anthony and Joe Russo will be attending on Wednesday November 28. The timing would coincide with last year’s trailer release for Infinity War, which happened on Wednesday November 29. That trailer became the most-watched trailer in a single day of all time, viewed more than 230 million times in the 24 hours after its release. The Russo brothers have previously confirmed that the trailer will be released before the end of 2018, and a prelude comic is set for release on December 5, so the trailer will almost certainly be revealed before then at the very least. This story will be updated as new information becomes available.

The Bachelor’s Clayton Echard responds to TikToker Sasha Narang’s cheating claims – Dexerto
The Bachelor’s Clayton Echard responds to TikToker Sasha Narang’s cheating claims Instagram: claytonechard / sashi14Bachelor star Clayton Echard has denied claims that he cheated on his partner with influencer Sasha Narang, after her accusations picked up traction on TikTok. Sasha has since revealed that the man she met was actually pretending to be Clayton. 28-year-old Clayton Echard was the star of season 26 of popular dating show The Bachelor, where he met his current partner Susie Evans. On April 9, TikToker Sasha Narang, who has over 170,000 followers on the app, uploaded a now-deleted video with the caption, “um so I think I just ended the bachelor’s marriage last night (i had no idea) (wtf).” She claimed that the night prior she was in a dark bar when she was approached by a guy who started talking to her. “So I’m responding, we’re kind of flirting. Then he proceeds to ask me, ‘do you watch The Bachelor?’ And I go ‘no,’ cause I’ve never seen it before.” Topic starts at 0:44 She went on to say that after he explained he was on the show, she ended up hitting it off with him. “He was very, like, sneaky, meaning he was very adamant about being quiet. Right when it was time for me to go he made it very clear I couldn’t stay over.” Sasha went on to claim that she messaged Clayton’s partner explaining what had happened, and sent her “the only evidence” she has, a picture of the Uber that he called for her with the address on it. Clayton responds to Sasha Narang’s TikTok Shortly after Sasha’s TikTok started picking up traction, Clayton responded to her claims on his Instagram story. “I can’t believe I’m addressing this, this is ridiculous. But let’s just make this as easy as possible,” he said, before he showed his location from the night before in his phone settings. In the caption, he wrote: “People that make these false accusations should be held accountable. Trying to gain clout by ruining a relationship is embarrassing and extremely immature.” In a DM conversation with Sasha, she doubled down on claims that she met him in NY at 2 am, to which Clayton responded: “Ok, well my video shows I was in an AZ gym at 8 pm MST, which is 11 pm EST (your time.) “So even if I hopped right on a private jet, I wouldn’t make it to NY until 3:30 am EST (flight from AZ to NY is 4 1/2 hours.) So that disproves you saw me at 2 am EST.” Sasha went on to respond in comments underneath her original video writing: “Reality Steve has the proof I have and we’ll prob do a live tomorrow and explain. Again I was not expecting this response and I have no reason to lie.” “I’m waiting to get a lawyer who can help me respond properly. I will explain everything with Steve’s help, he is being fair and hearing me out.” Sasha’s original video garnered over 280,000 views in just 14 hours. Sasha Narang releases apology On April 10, after deleting the original video, Sasha uploaded a new video to TikTok in which she apologized, and explained what really happened. “I want to start by saying I am so sorry to Susie and Clayton,” she began. “I was genuinely under the impression that I was with him. And after getting camera footage, Reality Steve was able to confirm with me that it was not him. The footage was from behind, but it doesn’t seem to be his build. He would know much better than me, but yeah. Between me, him, Susie, and Clayton, we are the only people who have access to this photo, and it is not him.” Click here if TikTok doesn’t load “Everything I said in that video was clearly a little impulsive and I shouldn’t have been so assertive, and just assumed it was the truth without investigating maybe further, and that’s totally on me.” She claimed that the man she met knew personal information about Clayton such as his birthdate and hometown, and revealed that he kept up the act the entire time. Sasha went on to say that she’s attempting to get more footage of the mystery individual in order to try and figure out his actual identity, saying that his “face looks scary similar to [Clayton]” is a “similar height,” and “not as muscular.”

Twitch Streamer NICKMERCS Hilariously Attempts His Best Ninja Twitch Prime Plug Imitation Last night on stream, NICKMERCS humorously botched an attempt to plug Twitch Prime to his viewers. Anyone who spends countless hours on Twitch will recognize that Twitch streamers have been plugging Twitch Prime to their viewers to varying levels of success. Twitch Prime gives viewers a free subscription to one streamer every month; viewers with an Amazon Prime account have a free subscription. Twitch Prime plugs have become a staple in the Fortnite and Twitch streaming communities as the subscriptions support streamers and allow them to continue to entertain fans. More: Ninja Goes Off For Insane 23 Kill Round Against FaZe In KEEMSTAR Friday Fortnite $10,000 Tournament – Fortnite, as well as many other games, release exclusive Twitch Prime content to gamers who link their Twitch accounts to their gaming accounts. Ninja has set the gold standard for plugging Twitch Prime to his audience by periodically reminding his viewers to check and see if they have their free Twitch Prime sub available and to click the drop down to find out. Often times the plugs are done flawlessly by reading them off a card, but recently streamers have taken to free styling the pitch and the results have been varied. NICKMERCS stumbled his way through Twitch Prime ad during a Thursday night stream and the pitch was far from what you might expect.

The Act Man responds to YouTube demonetizing his channel over satirical doxxing tweet – Dexerto
The Act Man responds to YouTube demonetizing his channel over satirical doxxing tweet The Act Man (YouTube)The Act Man recently appeared on The Philip DeFranco Show, addressing YouTube’s decision to suspend monetization on his channel following a satirical series of tweets. The Quantum TV vs The Act Man saga began on April 10, 2022, when Act Man uploaded a video titled “The WORST Elden Ring Hot Takes.” In this video, Act Man dissected Quantum TV’s review of the popular RPG Elden Ring in which Q gave the game a 0/10. Quantum TV then filed a copyright claim and takedown request on the video. This caused The Act Man to launch his own investigation into Quantum TV resulting in a second video titled “Copyright Abuse on YouTube – Featuring Quantum TV” an expose of sorts with the intention of getting Quantum’s channel removed from YouTube. Fast forward to June 2022, and both creators have released a series of videos regarding the situation. YouTube didn’t punish Quantum TV for abusing its copyright system but has instead taken actions against The Act Man. His recent hour-long video titled “The Dark Days of YouTube” was removed and his channel has been demonetized indefinitely. Act Man responds to YouTube demonetization On June 8, The Act Man announced that his channel had lost monetization without providing a reason for YouTube’s actions. Various YouTuber’s also reported that mentioning “The Act Man” in the title of their videos resulted in the videos being demonetized. With content creators and viewers furious with YouTube’s actions, Philip DeFranco used his platform to help clear the air by obtaining a quote from a YouTube rep and presenting it to The Act Man. “[The demonetization] is connected to a tweet of yours, that has since been deleted, where you threatened to doxx and harass the families of YouTube employees,” DeFranco read. The Act Man went on to describe the tweets to DeFranco before reposting them to Twitter. Act Man stated that the tweet in question was part of a satirical series of tweets poking fun at the YouTube guidelines he claims Quantum TV violated. “I pushed the boundaries on the third one. I’ll fully admit that” Act Man stated, “But I did take the tweet down, and I don’t think that anybody thought that was a legitimate threat.” He went on to discuss how his family was doxxed over a month ago when Quantum TV called The Act Man’s mother. “YouTube took no action against that,” he stated. The Act Man did state that the tweet was irresponsible and was made out of anger for the lack of action on YouTube’s part. He also stated that he believes there are good people that work at YouTube, but claimed this situation makes the site as a whole look bad. “I feel like YouTube has made the wrong decision at every point in this,” Act Man shared with DeFrance, “YouTube has had 1,000 opportunities to do the right thing, and at every turn, they’ve chosen the opposite.” At the end of the story, DeFranco added, “I will say one thing. It does feel like the tweet in question was very obviously a joke and satire.” However, he did touch on an incident at YouTube Headquarters in 2018 where an active shooter wounded three employees, leading to YouTube taking threats against its employees much more seriously. In an interview with Dexerto, The Act Man was asked whether he thought the demonization of his channel was called for since he openly stated the tweets were “pushing the boundaries.” “I would very much say that it was unjust because my [YouTube] partner reached out to me and said ‘hey, you should delete the tweet’,” Act Man answered, “And so I did, and I thought that would be the end of it.” It’s worth noting The Act Man posted the tweet in question on June 6 and deleted it five hours later. His channel was not demonetized until June 8. “If you add in all the other weird stuff that’s been going on, it feels like something else is happening,” stated Act Man. In May, another YouTuber Ethan Klein made a satirical bomb threat joke against the NRA on his podcast. Despite receiving a community guideline strike, monetization on the podcast channel remains intact. “I don’t think he should be demonetized or have his channel taken down for that,” remarked Act Man, “A strike is probably good enough for now for Ethan because those comments were bad.” He went on to state that in both cases, one “mistake” shouldn’t result in being de-platformed.

The Act Man still baffled by YouTube’s “extreme action” over channel strike – Dexerto
The Act Man still baffled by YouTube’s “extreme action” over channel strike YouTube: The Act ManYouTuber The Act Man is still waiting for YouTube to reveal why his channel was demonetized, following a dispute with fellow creator Quantum TV. Kelly ‘The Act Man’ Van Achte previously went to YouTube with evidence against creator Quantum TV, purporting that the latter has broken YouTube’s community guidelines. This back and forth between the two initially started due to a copyright strike invoked by Quantum TV for an Elden Ring video, with The Act Man seeking to claim that the footage he had used was within fair use guidelines. Following a series of satirical tweets levied at YouTube, the YouTuber was soon demonetized. Two months after Dexerto’s interview with the YouTuber, he is still unsure as to why YouTube took away his demonetization privileges. The Act Man “doesn’t understand” why YouTube demonetized his channel In a YouTube video captioned ‘So My Channel Was Demonetized… Here is The Aftermath’, The Act Man explained to his audience what had happened behind the scenes to his channel. Despite gaining the ability to monetize his videos again on July 13, 2022 – the YouTube still has received any semblance of clarification from YouTube. He explained that “given my history of not being a problem, again its all the more puzzling why the most extreme action was been taken against me.” (The Act Man discusses the topic at 9:30) “I mean besides just outright deleting my channel, demonetizing it is the second most extreme action you could have taken, I still don’t understand it.” Moreover, the YouTube claimed “what scares is me I still don’t know the exact reason why my channel was demonetized or why ‘The Dark Age of YouTube’ video was taken down and given a strike.” “I still have no idea, I can only speculate,” continued The Act Man. ‘The Dark Age of YouTube’ is a video that saw the YouTuber, alongside other creators, speak against Quantum TV’s behaviour. It still remains removed from The Act Man’s channel, though others have sought out to reupload it.

The Act Man demonetized on YouTube after criticizing platform – Dexerto
The Act Man demonetized on YouTube after criticizing platform YouTuber Kelly ‘The Act Man’ Van Achte has had his channel demonetized on YouTube after he criticized the platform for failing to enforce its own community guidelines against creator ‘Quantum TV.’ A back and forth battle between The Act Man and Quantum TV has now led to The Act Man being demonetized from YouTube entirely – all of which stemmed from a YouTube video back in April, in which The Act Man used sections of Quantum TV’s Elden Ring video. In response, Quantum TV threatened to issue a copyright infringement notice, despite The Act Man claiming the video was fair use. Ultimately, the copyright notice was rejected by YouTube. However, Act Man pursued the termination of Quantum’s channel, under the grounds that he abused and issued a false copyright strike – which can result in a channel being shut down, according to the platform’s own rules. Quantum TV tried to takedown my Elden Ring Hot Takes video claiming “”copyright infringement”” Unfortunately for him, YouTube actually knows what Fair Use is and rejected his takedown request. Get fucked, nerd. Stop being such a cunt pic.twitter.com/PPExM05aKt — The Act Man (@TheActMan_YT) April 19, 2022 Quantum continued by “seeking other options” outside of YouTube to have Act Man’s video removed, which spiraled out of control over the last few months when Quantum allegedly threatened Act Man’s family with doxing and violence. The YouTuber supposedly even reached out to Act Man’s mother saying, “We wouldn’t want families to get hurt or involved in this.” On May 9, Quantum requested the removal of “all defamatory posts,” claiming he’d threatened Act Man’s mother with violence and doxxing. The creator then alluded that the police are investigating criminal activity that Act Man had made against him, and suggested that his mother would be dragged into the lawsuit if it went to trial. A series of leaked Discord messages on May 19 revealed Quantum admitted the whole situation was blown out of proportion. However, he continued by saying he wished the “most painful death on everyone involved in this massive smear campaign.” Quantum TV wishing death on everyone that doesn’t like him. Classic Quantum TV Moment. pic.twitter.com/Fyn4aYNxtf — The Act Man (@TheActMan_YT) May 19, 2022 Despite the evidence that Act Man collected and provided to YouTube, which supposedly proved Quantum had breached multiple community guidelines, the platform’s support team confirmed that YouTube’s specialists “did not find any violations.” Furthermore, Act Man’s YouTube video discussing the verdict on Quantum TV’s actions and criticizing YouTube for not enforcing its rules was removed from the platform. On June 7, the creator provided a screenshot of the community guideline strike he received, which was in breach of nudity and sexual content. Other videos from Act Man then followed, with two more in the span of an hour being demonetized and age-restricted. The popular creator with over 1.5M subscribers was then contacted by his YouTube partner, who told him he’d eventually be entirely demonetized. “My YouTube partner just reached out to me to inform me that at some point I will be removed from the YouTube Partner Program and my channel will be completely demonetized,” Act Man wrote in a tweet. My YouTube partner just reached out to me to inform me that at some point I will be removed from the YouTube Partner Program and my channel will be completely demonetized. I am going to continue working with my partner on this matter. All video plans will be put on hold. — The Act Man (@TheActMan_YT) June 8, 2022 A day later on June 8, Act Man revealed he’d officially been demonetized from the entire platform, with all of his videos unable to make revenue, prompting the #JusticeForActMan to trend online. However, YouTube’s response clarified that Act Man’s suspension from the platform’s partner program was due to a now-deleted tweet where Act Man sarcastically threatened to dox the families of YouTube employees & creators. While Act Man noted his mistake, he hit back at YouTube, claiming that common sense would suggest being a victim of doxing means he would never wish it on others. as discussed, your YPP suspension followed your now-deleted tweet threatening to dox the families of YouTube employees & creators. we don’t take these decisions lightly & want you to know we’re taking your concerns just as seriously. we’ll keep working with you directly on this pic.twitter.com/BTuWcrxQP0 — TeamYouTube (@TeamYouTube) June 9, 2022 Despite repeatedly telling his audience not to attack anyone involved, including YouTube employees and Quantum TV, Act Man is now left questioning the future of his channel now it’s been demonetized.

The Act Man Interview: Silenced by the platform he’s fighting to make better – Dexerto
The Act Man Interview: Silenced by the platform he’s fighting to make better Seemingly scorned by YouTube, The Act Man lies in creator limbo awaiting the verdict on his channels monetization. But how does one come back from being deplatformed by the company who signs their checks? Before tens of thousands of Twitter users would post #JusticeForActMan, before YouTube would choose to remove monetization from his channel, before a community of creators would band together to oppose the platform’s actions, before the critique of an Elden Ring review would launch a two-month investigation, The Act Man was a creator known well-enough for his comedic game-oriented video essays. In April 2022, The Act Man launched an investigation into the online actions of fellow creator Quantum TV. Becoming frustrated with YouTube’s lack of action despite the evidence he provided, the creator took to Twitter to post a series of satirical tweets, including one where he mentioned doxxing the employees of YouTube and their families. This tweet ultimately resulted in the demonetization of his channel. Now, as a result of The Act Man’s intense investigation and emotional attachment thereof, he stands against two adversaries: the subject of his scrutinizing investigation and the platform that seemingly refuses to hear his pleas. In less than a week, Act Man went from being one of YouTube’s most-watched detectives to having his main source of income stripped away. So, how does a highly-praised creator continue moving forward despite several major setbacks? A forced hiatus for The Act Man Following the removal of monetization on his channel, The Act Man announced he would be taking a break from making videos because of the potential risk of uploading. In an interview with Dexerto, he claimed a lot of “strange things” had been happening to his channel as well as those of other creators. “I had two videos that were age-restricted that were completely unrelated. Reaction streams to the video were taken down or demonetized. Asmongold’s video was demonetized. Review USA had a stream that was taken down. Another channel was actually totally suspended for making two videos,” The Act Man shared. He even claimed a friend of his tested video titles with various key phrases like “copyright abuse”, “false flagging”, and variations of “The Act Man” — all of which were demonetized. According to him, these actions are striking fear in the hearts of the greater community. “It’s not just me getting screwed,” he stated. “There are people that are afraid to show a blurred image of a guy with poorly Photoshopped cucumber. Because they don’t know if that’s okay, if that’s considered nudity, if they’re going to get taken down for that.” But beyond the fear of what YouTube might do, The Act Man expressed how demoralizing it feels to be silenced by the platform. “I don’t make videos for the sole reason that I make money, but I have to. If I can justify the time to make these videos, then I have to make money on it. And I just, I can’t really focus on just normal game content or go back to that at this point in time.” Is moral support enough? While facing the Goliath that is YouTube, The Act Man has captured the attention of some of the platform’s largest and most influential creators. Now, these creative titans have become allies in his fight for platform justice, but is the solace of their support enough? “It’s really cool that I got to talk to [Philip] DeFranco and Keemstar. A lot of great content creators have reached out,” Act Man said. “But then I hear from some guy whose channel was suspended for talking about this issue. I go back to feeling depressed and the reality of this situation.” Through this experience, a number of creators have “crawled out of the woodwork” to show their support for The Act Man, but this situation has already caused irreparable damage. “The trauma of what has happened… I don’t know if YouTube is going to fix that. Are they going to f**k off and pretend this didn’t happen?” “If you get fired from your job because you brought a cucumber to work and you’re fighting to come back – and you do come back – you’re like, am I really safe here?” There’s no going back now Dexerto asked The Act Man if he would change anything he had done up to this point that ultimately led to his demonization. Unsurprisingly, the creator stood his ground. “I don’t think I would because, you know, I really went hard trying to expose the terrible things this guy has done,” he explained. “Maybe a tweet here or there, but I think everything happens for a reason.” Despite feeling unwelcome if he were to return to YouTube, The Act Man also thinks a perfect resolution is still possible. “At this point, a lot of things need to happen.” The Act Man listed the following changes he’d like to see from the platform for a perfect resolution: Reinstate monetization of his channel – Both videos that were age-restricted be unrestricted – YouTube needs to launch a real investigation into Quantum TV – Clear concise rules for what copyright abuse really is/policy reform – A public apology from YouTube – “A public apology for mishandling the situation from YouTube I think could go a long way and that would make me feel very good and vindicated that they understand that they messed up,” the Act Man responded. “I think it’s important to take accountability when you mess up.” Is the war with Quantum TV over? Some would see the demonization, along with YouTube’s not-guilty verdict, as Quantum TV winning this feud. But Act Man isn’t ready to throw in the towel just yet. After being asked if he’d be willing to give up his pursuit of Quantum if it meant he’d be remonetized, Act Man replied he wouldn’t. “No. What he’s done is so f**king terrible, like the number of content creators he’s harassed… He’s not going to stop doing these terrible things until he’s forcibly removed,” he explained. As an example, Act Man referenced 16-year-old content creator Mischief, who’s been involved in the situation from the start. He claims Quantum TV is still harassing this creator. “I would rather YouTube be a better place without me than a terrible place with me.” What happens in the next act? While the masses appear to be on The Act Man’s side, it’s still YouTube’s call on whether or not he can continue making money on the platform — which is his main source of income. So, what happens if The Act Man’s indefinite ban extends beyond 30 days into oblivion? “What I will say is thank God I made a twitch account,” he responded. If his channel does get remonetized and he feels comfortable on the platform though, he said he wants to return to his roots and make more gaming content. While he does feel there’s a space on YouTube for “watchdog” channels that look out for copyright abusers and harassment on the platform — however, a series like the investigation into Quantum TV won’t be his normal content. A number of users on Twitter have advised Act Man to take legal action — something he’s already considered. “I’m not super familiar with the laws, or what exact laws have been violated,” Act Man admitted. “I’ve briefly talked with a couple of attorneys and I may continue talks with them in the future. I can’t say for certain, but it’s something that I think I have to consider.” Beyond his worries for the future of his career in content creation, he also explained how this whole situation has instilled a fear in him, and his family, for what could happen. The Act Man’s mother was even contacted by Quantum TV after he had found her personal information online. This roped her into a situation the creator believes should have stayed online. Act Man said his mother keeps close tabs on the situation and often references videos from other content creators he hasn’t seen yet, “It illustrates the kind of invasion of privacy this has been.” While he carries a strong persona online, often sharing memes to his Twitter followers, it’s apparent this situation has taken an emotional toll on The Act Man and those close to him.

The ACE Family reveal why they’re finished having kids – Dexerto
The ACE Family reveal why they’re finished having kids YouTube: The ACE Family[jwplayer mgzBNoPb] The ACE Family has finally decided to stop growing their ranks after the birth of their son, Steel McBroom, in late June — but some fans aren’t too sure how to feel about this sudden decision. The ACE Family is one of YouTube’s most popular family channels, boasting over 19 million subscribers due to their humorous videos that follow their daily lives. The family is comprised of five members: Father Austin McBroom, mother Catherine Paiz, daughters Elle and Alaïa, and newborn son Steel McBroom. After welcoming their newest member in June, the ACE Family has decided to put any further additions on indefinite hold, as told in a video uploaded on August 11 that has divided some viewers. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDXEGGhBMfh/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link In their video, Paiz revealed that she decided to receive an IUD, rather than McBroom undergoing a vasectomy, as Paiz’s healthcare physician claimed the ACE family patriarch was “too young” for the procedure. Although Catherine claimed she “really doesn’t think” she’ll want to have any more children in the next five to ten years, she isn’t completely ruling out any future plans, stating that “life is full of mysteries” and “surprises.” “So, pretty much, ACE Family, this is the end of our having babies journey,” McBroom explained. “We have a full, big, complete family now, and we couldn’t be any happier.” (Topic begins at 8:05) However, some fans are divided as to the couple’s decision, with commenters expressing dismay over the toll having three children may have taken on Paiz’s body in four years – as well as her taking responsibility for the birth control. “I can’t even count how many times Catherine says SHE is done bearing and birthing children, yet everyone around her is throwing around the ‘what ifs,’” one user wrote. “Let this woman have say of her own body and mental health.” “It’s not fair that Catherine had to take one for the team yet again,” another chimed in. “She just gave birth, and now this.” “I feel like Austin loves his kids, it’s just he is always counting on Catherine for everything,” another viewer expressed. “I believe it going to take a horrible mental toll on her if he doesn’t step in.” Despite fan concerns, the couple appears to be happy and welcoming of their big change as they focus on raising the three little ones they have already brought into the world.

The ACE Family is one of the most popular family channels on YouTube, with over 18 million subscribers on their vlog channel where they show parts of their daily lives to their many fans. On March 19, though, they uploaded a video titled “The End of The ACE Family on YouTube” in which they revealed that they will no longer be regularly uploading in 2023. “This is the last year that The ACE Family will be on YouTube,” Austin said. “So, let me explain. We actually wanted to make this video a year ago, and we wanted a year ago to be our last year, but we just can’t seem to stop doing what we love to do, which is creating videos for all of you guys. “But this year we’ve been talking about how we’re going to make this year, 2022, our last year on YouTube because next year in 2023 we wanna do a lot of traveling with the family. What I mean by traveling, I mean probably traveling for like half the year. And we wanna go to like 10 to 20 different places.” They also said that they not only want to travel, but also work on some big projects that they’re “super excited for.” Catherine also added: “We’re not saying that we’re gone forever, we’re just saying that we’re not gonna be as consistent anymore. But we really enjoy what we do, we really love what we do, like this is so much fun to us, we just love filming.” She continued: “I feel like the pressure that we’ve had has just been really unhealthy, and I think traveling and spending time with our family, doing all the things that we really wanna do, the things that we wanna focus 100% on, I think that that will bring us a lot of joy. And I think that when we do film and make our video you’ll see and feel that energy, and feel good when you watch us.” Austin emphasized that they’re not going to be gone “100%” and that they still may post here and there, but they’ll just “see how it goes.”

The 15 Biggest Concurrent Viewership Peaks Ever Reached on Twitch – CS:GO, League of Legends and Ninja – Dexerto
The 15 Biggest Concurrent Viewership Peaks Ever Reached on Twitch – CS:GO, League of Legends and Ninja ELEAGUEWhat is the peak viewership record on Twitch? Has a stream already exceeded one million viewers simultaneously? Where is Ninja and his records on Fortnite? Here’s the answer to all these questions. Twitch is an online live video streaming platform owned by Amazon. Its roots go back to 2006 when the site ‘Justin.tv’ was created. In 2011, they launched a video game category, under the name Twitch. Finally, Justin.tv is shut down in 2014, shifting all of its activity to Twitch. The success was almost immediate for Twitch, which is quickly became the leader in video game streaming, attracting interest from huge companies like Google and Amazon. Ultimately the latter bought the site in August 2014 for $970 million, bringing Twitch into a new dimension. Today, Twitch draws tens of millions of users every day on dozens of different games and broadcasts live the biggest esports events around the world. The platform has thus become a symbol of the growth of gaming and esports in general and streaming in particular can bring together hundreds of thousands of people simultaneously, overshadowing some of the most popular television shows. Unfortunately, Twitch very rarely communicates about statistics and so it is necessary to go through third parties to have a get a real idea of the audiences of certain streamers or events. Gamoloco, recently published the ranking of the 15 biggest viewership peaks of ever seen on Twitch. Of these, 13 (or 14 depending on your point of view) were esports events and 2 (or 1) individual streams. In the first eight places in the standings we find CS: GO events, whose record-breaking simultaneous audience on Twitch is also one of the most recent, namely the ELEAGUE Major of Boston in January, which reached 1.13 million viewers during the final. In ninth and eleventh place is Tyler “Ninja” Blevins who during his Fortnite tournament at the Esports Arena in Las hit 667,000 viewers, beating his own previous record of 630,000 viewers in his stream with Drake and Travis Scott. Finally, League of Legends is the third and final game in the ranking, all its best scores having been achieved at the Worlds 2015 tournament. For the moment, CS:GO remains the undisputed leader in terms of peak concurrent viewership on Twitch, but its most serious rival could well be Fortnite, once the esport aspect of the game is launched. You can find below the ranking of the 15 biggest concurrent viewership peaks ever reached on Twitch, as compiled by Gamoloco. 1. ELEAGUE – CS:GO – 28/01/2018 – 1,130,000 2. ELEAGUE – CS:GO – 29/01/2017 – 1,030,000 3. ESL – CS:GO – 23/08/2015 – 788,000 4. DreamHack – CS:GO – 01/11/2015 – 684,000 5. ESL – CS:GO – 01/11/2015 – 678,000 6.

The 15 most brutal jokes from the ‘Roast of the Sidemen’ – Dexerto
The 15 most brutal jokes from the ‘Roast of the Sidemen’ Sidemen (YouTube)Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji and co. upload weekly content as part of ‘Sidemen Sunday’, and their video uploaded on October 13 sees the British collective receive a verbal roasting from various guests. We’ve summed up the most cold-blooded jokes from the skit. Each member of the Sidemen has had their time in the spotlight in some way or another, from infamous diss tracks to internal feuds, the seven-man group all have a history which can be nitpicked. Callux, Calfreezy, Jaackmaate, Lozcast, StephenTries, and TrueGeordie were among the YouTubers who all took punts at members of the Sidemen in a savage skirmish of slurs. Here are the 15 most brutal one-liners from the video, in descending order. 15. Lozcast played the race card Laurence ‘Lozcast’ McKenna carefully tip-toed around Tobi ‘Tobijizzle’ Brown’s race: “Tobi… Tobi Brown. How could you have the whitest name in the Sidemen? Tobi… You’re like most people’s first attempt at drawing KSI.” 14. Callux came in hot on Tobijizzle Callum ‘Callux’ McGinley was the first to step-up to the podium, as he poked fun at Tobi’s (or perhaps lack of) love-life: “Tobi is the only guy that I know that could pay for a prostitute and still end up in the friendzone.” 13. True Geordie let loose on Vikkstar Fresh from the KSI vs. Logan Paul 2 press conference, Brian ‘True Geordie’ Davis listed a series of jokes that worked on each member of the Sidemen, before chiming in on Singh ‘Vikkstar123’ Barn one last time… “As for Vikkstar, imagine being the nerdiest member of the Sidemen. That’s like being the f**king fattest girl at Weight Watchers isn’t it? Jesus Christ!” 12. Stephen Tries to get under Vikkstar’s skin After a pause of laughter from his last joke, Stephen ‘Stephen Tries’ Lawson paid homage to Vikkstar’s content demographic, which seemed to go down well with the live audience: “My favorite member of the Sidemen is Vik… Or to give him his full-name, Victim. Vik really has the it factor, and by that, I mean he’s a clown that likes the taste of kids.” 11. Lawson showed no mercy with Zerkaa Evidently not holding back, Stephen proceeded to include his grandad’s death in a pun directed at Josh ‘Zerkaa’ Bradley: “The Sidemen love hide-and-seek — maybe next time they can try and find Josh’s personality? I’m not saying Josh is dull, but I haven’t seen six people carry someone so lifeless since my Grandad’s funeral.” 10. Calfreezy likes hide-and-seek… Callum ‘Calfreezy’ Airey frequently collaborates with members of the Sidemen. Announcing his love for their videos, Airey let out a series of one-liners before throwing shade towards Behzinga for his lack of father figure. “I love all of the Sidemen videos, particularly the hide-and-seek ones… I couldn’t help but notice, though, how good Ethan was — suppose he got it from his Dad.” 9. KSI’s only roast? Stephen Tries rolled out a series of jokes with no filter whatsoever, as he kicked things off by initially jumping on the KSI bandwagon… “Ah, KSI. Given what happened last Christmas, this might be the only roast that you’re invited to this year.” 8. The Olatunji family feud and Deji Jack ‘JaackMaate’ Dean was also keen to exploit the family feud which transpired between the Olatunji brothers and his family: “What does Simon’s girlfriend have in common with Christmas Day at the Olatunji household? JJ has probably ruined them both… And Deji probably claims he has.” 7. JaackMaate had done his homework Having evidently done his homework, Dean moved on to Behzinga’s social media while referencing Harry ‘W2S’ Lewis’ alleged previous involvement with cocaine: “In 2018, Ethan tweeted… ‘As of today, I’ve lost 30 kilos’ — now I don’t want to cause any shit, but have you checked Harry’s bedside table?” 6. Behzinga gets crushed by Callux McGinley weighing in on Ethan ‘Behzinga’ Payne’s absence of a Father figure, while simultaneously mocking his Mother’s social media presence: “Unfortunately, after seeing how f**king annoying Mummy Behz is on Twitter, I’m not surprised your Dad left you.” 5. Lozcast silenced the crowd with Epstein pun McKenna began by throwing out some rib-tickling quips before turning up the heat on Vikkstar’s “boring” content: “Vikkstar was what Jeffery Epstein played to the kids on the plane to get them to sleep.” 4. Callux didn’t hold back with Avicii pun After making his way around the houses, McGinley worked on Vikkstar’s love of EDM music with a unexpected twist: “As you guys know, Vik has tried to suck the d**k of every EDM DJ in the World… Last week, I even caught him trying to dig up Avicii.” 3. Lawson takes a jab at KSI’s past Lawson was quick to reference JJ’s history of abortions with his past girlfriends, in-light of the rivalry between KSI and Logan Paul… “The build-up to KSI vs. Logan has been intense. JJ hasn’t threatened to end a life with a hook since his ex-girlfriend got pregnant.” 2. JaackMaate doubled-down on W2S and Vikkstar Dean found a shrewd transition into his next joke, by combining Harry’s history with a play on Vikkstar’s race: “I hate how people treat different members of the Sidemen… I mean if Harry pulls out a bag unexpectedly, it’s party time. Yet if Vik does it… Someone call the bomb squad!” 1. W2S takes a “Total Whiteout” on the chin During the mid-section of his skit, Stephen Tries referenced WS2’s history with drugs with a savvy play-on-words in reference to British TV shows: “Harry struggles with two things: video ideas and staying sober. So I thought he could copy the Sidemen and rip-off a TV show. Why not try: Total Whiteout, Dancing on Spice… And of course, Come Down With Me.” It seems that Behzinga, Vikkstar and KSI took the brunt of the verbal slews, while Simon ‘Miniminter’ Minter and Zerkaa got off somewhat lightly. Uploaded on October, the comedic roast of the Sidemen has gained a lot of traction on YouTube, having accrued over 4 million views in less than 24 hours.

That’s So Raven star says she has “weird” psychic visions in real life – Dexerto
That’s So Raven star says she has “weird” psychic visions in real life Instagram: @ravensymoneCan Raven Symoné gaze into the future? The That’s So Raven star just revealed she actually gets psychic visions. Perhaps one of the most iconic Disney Channel shows to date is That’s So Raven. The show focuses on a young teenage girl as she navigates high school with her two best friends. The twist? She is psychic and consistently has visions of the future. The titular character of the Disney show is played by actress Raven Symoné. And apparently, all of those psychic visions she pretended to have on That’s So Raven weren’t so far-fetched. Is Raven Symoné from That’s So Raven psychic? On July 24, Raven uploaded a new episode of her podcast with her wife, Miranda Maday. During Episode 3 of the podcast, the two discussed psychic powers in the real world. Unexpectedly, the Disney star revealed that she has visions of her own. She said, “I do have moments where I really will just stare, and I will see a scene that is happening to me or that is going to happen to me in another dimension, and I’m like, ‘Yo, this is weird. There will be a time when I’m walking and I’ll trip over nothing.” The popular actress went on to admit that she doesn’t believe people who advertise as professional psychics. Raven added, “Now if you sit me down and somebody’s like, ‘Look into my crystal ball,’ I’m gonna be like, ‘Give me my money back.’ But I do believe there is natural auras that hold the experiences of all of our people, totally.” The actress is still currently playing the iconic psychic character on TV, this time in Disney Channel series Raven’s Home.

TikTok bans multiple Vegan Teacher accounts after alleged community violations – Dexerto
TikTok bans multiple Vegan Teacher accounts after alleged community violations YouTube: That Vegan TeacherNotorious TikTok vegan That Vegan Teacher has had having multiple accounts banned on the platform for allegedly violating several community guidelines. That Vegan Teacher, real name Kadie Karen Diekmeyer, has clocked up around 1.5m followers on the app and is known for her very firm vegan beliefs, which she frequently preaches on the app. She’s also had several run-ins with other top names — including, notably, Minecraft sensation 16-year-old TommyInnit, whose fans bombarded her with hate comments after she suggested someone help him feel more comfortable around girls. Now, after rumors that she had been arrested in January 2021 (which was proven false), she seems to have been banned from the app almost altogether. Why was That Vegan Teacher banned on TikTok? At the time of writing, there’s no clear explanation as to why That Vegan Teacher has been banned on TikTok, with neither her nor TikTok coming out with an explanation. Read More: Addison Rae shuts down rumor she quit TikTok – While the reason hasn’t been confirmed, a disclaimer on her main TikTok profile suggests it’s due to multiple Community Guidelines violations. This could be any number of things, so it’s impossible to speculate on what exactly the violations could be, and we’ll have to wait for official confirmation before reporting it. According to TikTok’s guidelines though, her misdemeanor could fall under any of these categories: Violent extremism – Hateful behavior – Illegal activities and regulated goods – Violent and graphic content – Suicide, self harm and dangerous acts – Harassment and bullying – Adult nudity and sexual activities – Minor safety – Integrity and authenticity – Platform security – That Vegan Teacher has in the past had her videos reacted to by top celebrities such as Gordon Ramsay, who didn’t seem her biggest fan, and Russell Brand for her divisive takes. That Vegan Teacher responds to her TikTok ban A short time later, That Vegan Teacher created a video response to the situation, which she uploaded to YouTube with all comments and likes/dislikes turned off. In her video, the controversial TikToker accused her critics of being “scared” of telling kids “the truth” about veganism, and alleged that her ban was the work of “veganphobic” users. In her video description, she also alleged that her home had been “attacked” by critics, who left “dead animal parts” on her front door and – even purportedly doxed her personal information. That’s not all; TikTokers believe That Vegan Teacher started using multiple new TikTok accounts, although these rumors have yet to be fully verified at the time of writing. One account which came under the username ‘that.holocaust.teacher’ has also now been banned by the platform, however, people believe there are several more accounts that belong to her. Accounts including ‘thatvegannurse,’ ‘theveganteacher,’ and ‘thatmeatteachermisstofu,’ have all been banned by TikTok so far, but TikTokers report more and more popping up that are yet to be removed. Previously, she has drawn comparisons between animal cruelty and atrocities such as the Holocaust, which is likely a large contributor to why TikTok users would report her and the platform would ultimately kick her off.

That Other Hannah quits social media after Torrid TikTok drama goes viral – Dexerto
That Other Hannah quits social media after Torrid TikTok drama goes viral Torrid/Instagram: That_Other_HannahPlus-Size clothing brand Torrid has come under fire for their response to TikToker ‘That Other Hannah,’ after she criticized the appearance of their latest fashion line. While TikTok is one of the best places to go for short-form media consumption with its viral trends and videos, it’s also home to its fair share of drama between creators and companies. In the case of fashion-focused plus-sized TikToker ‘that_other_hannah,’ she went viral after criticizing a video from Torrid, a clothing company with a focus on “trendy” plus-sized clothing. Her video immediately gathered attention from fans of the brand, who decided to harass the creator. Torrid and Hannah TikTok drama Hannah duetted a video, posted by the CEO of Torrid, who was showing off some of their fashion options. In her response, she appeared visibly disappointed with the style of outfits with a caption saying: “This is why we can’t have nice things at Torrid.” Checking out some of the comments on the video, it appears that fans of the creator are in agreement. TikToker ‘Toni Ann’ stated: “So now we know the entire collection is based on only one person’s style.” https://www.tiktok.com/@that_other_hannah_/video/7017090510716243206?is_copy_url=0&is_from_webapp=v1&sender_device=pc&sender_web_id=6996829777869768197 A few days after her original post, Hannah uploaded another video. This time, the creator explained that Torrid decided to turn off comments on the video she had duetted instead of making an effort to fix things. As time passed and more people viewed her videos, fans of Torrid allegedly called the creator’s workplace and claimed she made several inappropriate jokes. Leaving social media On November 1, Hannah posted a video stating she was leaving social media for a while: “I don’t know if I’m going to come back at all.” She says the calls didn’t land her in hot water, and her boss is just concerned for her safety due to people wanting to cause issues in her life. https://www.tiktok.com/@that_other_hannah_/video/7025726787690794246?is_copy_url=0&is_from_webapp=v1&sender_device=pc&sender_web_id=6996829777869768197 Shortly after the video about leaving social media, Torrid posted a statement on their Facebook page. The TikToker decided to make one last video regarding the situation. She stated that the public statement made by the company makes her feel like they may have been involved in the call to her workplace, despite not having concrete proof to back that up. Whether they were involved or not, toxicity on social media is a real issue. If Hannah decides to return to social media in the future, fans will be hoping she won’t have to endure this sort of thing again.

TGFBro reveal how Vikkstar got their YouTube channel back from crypto hackers – Dexerto
TGFBro reveal how Vikkstar got their YouTube channel back from crypto hackers YouTube: TGFBroYouTuber duo TGFBro revealed on the Happy Hour Podcast how Sidemen co-founder Vikkstar helped them retrieve their channel back from crypto hackers. When you’re crafting a YouTube empire, the last thing you want to experience is losing hours of hard work. Hacking the accounts of content creators has, unfortunately, become commonplace these days and TGFBro’s found this out the hard way. Comprised of duo Jamie ‘Jay’ Swingler and Romell Claudius Henry, the pair woke up one day to a barrage of messages explaining that their YouTube account had been taken over. Now, the duo have revealed how Sidemen co-founder Vikkstar aided them in claiming their account back. TGFBro reveal how playing Minecraft comprised their Twitter accounts Appearing on the Happy Hour Podcast, Jamie and Romell shared the difficulty and stress of getting their channel back from hackers. “Just two months ago I woke up, with about 50 text messages…it was a Russian hacker,” Romell began to explain. The pair were forcefully logged out of their account and rebranded as ‘MicroStrategy’, with content focused on crypto-currency uploaded on their channel. “It was so awkward because we couldn’t get hold of the channel and they kept uploading their own like videos…we lost 80,000 subs in one day,” Romell continued. Despite several attempts to get assistance, the pair turned to an unexpected ally: Vikkstar. “I messaged some people I’ve not spoken to on Twitter,” said Romell before Jamie added more context: “Bro I was DM’ing Vikkstar, I was just desperate. I was like ‘do you know anyone?’ He’s a tech wizard bro.” Thanks to establishing contact with Vikkstar and more, the pair were able to alert key figures at YouTube to rectify the situation. Since getting back into their account, the pair have ensure every form of security is in place to prevent another breach in the future. The pair aren’t the only ones crossing paths with the world of crypto-currency either. Kim Kardashian has recently completed a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, following a complication with the star promoting Ethereum Max.

Thai Twitch streamer tells off strangers for making racist remarks toward her – Dexerto
Thai Twitch streamer tells off strangers for making racist remarks toward her Twitch: ppimThai Twitch streamer ‘ppim’ confronted strangers who made racist comments toward her in two separate instances during her travels in Brussels, Belgium. IRL streams (short for ‘in real life’) are known for capturing some of the internet’s most jaw-dropping moments as they play out in real time. For instance, several streamers have caught crimes happening in real time — such as when a thief snatched a woman’s purse in Paris — or have even been victims of crimes themselves, like streamer Reydempto, who was chased by a man threatening to “kill” him in a public park. However, many streamers traveling abroad have also, unfortunately, been victims of racist behavior, shocking their viewers. Thai streamer hits back at racist comments during Brussels trip Thai streamer ‘ppim’ is one such broadcaster, who sharing her trip in Brussels, Belgium when she was accosted by strangers who made racist remarks to her, saying “Nihao” to her — the Chinese word for, “Hello.” “I’m not from China,” she explained. “You stop saying ‘Nihao,’ okay? That is very f*cking racist.” The strangers (who appeared to be possibly inebriated) shot back at her with more racist comments, and another reached out to touch her shoulder while saying, “Nihao.” “‘Nihao?’ F*ck you, I’m not from China! I’m from Thailand, man!” she shot back. “You [need to get f*cking educated]. Not everyone’s from f*cking China!” This wouldn’t be the last instance of racism she’d deal with that night, either. When she came into a hotel, ppim was also greeted with a ‘Nihao’ from the front desk clerk. “Yeah, you can say ‘Hello,’ not ‘Nihao,’” she said to the clerk. “But maybe you should read more about racism. Maybe you should know.” The clerk seemed to balk at this, saying, “But you look Chinese.” Judging by ppim’s reaction, it appears the clerk motioned to his eyes — something ppim also reminded him was offensive. This is far from the first time a traveling IRL streamer has endured racist behavior from strangers during their journeys. Recently, a woman’s chess stream went awry after a stranger went off on a racist tirade toward her and even knocked over her camera.

Tfue’s original lawsuit vs FaZe Clan dismissed by California judge Tfue/FaZeFortnite star Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has had his original complaint against FaZe Clan dismissed in California, yet, the esports org’s counter-suit is still moving ahead in New York. Back in May of 2019, Tfue stunned the internet when it was revealed that he was suing FaZe Clan for over an “oppressive contract” that allegedly restricted his business opportunities and claimed that the org took up to 80 percent of his earnings. Since then, the two parties have gone back and forth between cases in both California and New York. In March of 2020, a New York judge dismissed several claims in the case – including FaZe’s argument for “intentional interference with contract,” given that Tfue had allegedly encouraged other players to follow in his footsteps and leave the esports org. However, in the newest update to the ongoing cases, it appears as if their dispute will be settled on the East Coast and not in California. Per Hollywood Reporter, on Friday July 10, Californian Judge David Cowan issued an order dismissing Tfue’s claims that the case should be fought on the West Coast. Tfue’s side had made the argument that FaZe violated the Talent Agencies Act – which would help esports athletes fall under the same banner as actors and other artists. FaZe Clan’s chief legal officer, Philip Gordon, said, “We are very pleased with Judge Cowan’s decision to dismiss Turner’s case. This is one of many moments throughout this legal process when the courts have ruled in our favor. We haven’t wanted to argue this in the press because we don’t want to attack Turner. We care about him and our gamers who have been hurt by this process. The reality is we support Turner and invested heavily in his career — we simply want an outcome that is fair. We look forward to continuing the N.Y. case and feel confident in its outcome.” Tfue’s lawyer Bryan Freedman said, “Given the court’s favorable findings on the rulings on summary judgment and the upcoming hearing in front of the Labor Commission concerning illegal procurement, there was no need to have the proceeding in state court. All issues will be resolved in the trial in New York and in front of the California Labor Commission. My client is very confident and looks forward adjudicating these issues.” While that side of the argument has been put to bed in the state of California, the Fortnite star does have one standing issue on the West Coast in the form of a complaint to the California Labor Commissioner regarding the TAA. All the other arguments in the case will be moving forward in New York, however, as the argument inches ever closer to a court trial. However, it isn’t likely to be resolved anytime soon. A start date for the trail has been penciled in for October 5, though, things could change in the weeks and months leading up to that point.

TGF details how controversial driving test video nearly ended their YouTube career – Dexerto
TGF details how controversial driving test video nearly ended their YouTube career British YouTube duo TGF have explained why they’ve not uploaded on YouTube for the last six months, revealing they went through an exhausting two-and-a-half-year-long legal battle. Known for their foolish videos, childhood friends Jay Swingler and Romell Henry make up the TGF channel. From cementing their head inside a microwave to burying themselves in concrete, the iconic duo have put themselves in a lot of danger throughout the past decade — and amassed a loyal following along the way. One video got the duo caught up in a two-and-a-half-year-long legal battle, with recording equipment being seized and court dates being rescheduled that left them unable to upload videos. TGF details lengthy legal battle In March 2020, TGF uploaded an ‘extreme driving test’ video, during which they purposely drove badly, crashed into a prop vehicle and ultimately flipped the car onto its side. The 14-minute long video, which has since been deleted, caught the attention of the local authorities. As explained in an October 2 video, a week after uploading their extreme driving test, Swingler’s house was raided, where recording equipment valued up to £15k was seized by the police. According to the two YouTubers, what should’ve been a straightforward case turned into a lengthy battle, as the prosecutors couldn’t decide whether to charge them with driving without due care or dangerous driving — a much more serious offense. Ultimately, the two pleaded guilty to careless driving and were fined £1,000 with five points added on their driving licenses according to the Shropshire Star. Swingler claimed the two appeared in court eight times during the lengthy battle, with dates constantly being rescheduled. Romell added that it interrupted their filming, as they’d go to court only for it to be canceled on the day — making their life stressful. According to the 27-year-olds, the exhausting two-and-a-half-year-long legal battle also impacted their families, as they were pestered by the police for their address and phone numbers. The YouTubers stated that having to watch the video in court in front of a judge was the most awkward experience of their lives. While they’re still yet to get their seized equipment back from the police, the two assured fans that they’ll be back with more videos soon. However, we doubt they’ll be as extreme as before.

Tfue’s new $3500 custom Fortnite keyboard revealed – Dexerto
Tfue’s new $3500 custom Fortnite keyboard revealed Epic Games/UnsplashTwitch streamer TaehaTypes has revealed the completed version of Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney’s $3500 custom keyboard and it looks pretty perfect for Fortnite. When it comes to playing games competitively, it helps to have a set-up where you feel comfortable and have the tools to perform at a peak level. Now, you can rush out and splurge on a number of expensive products but that won’t necessarily always help. However, when you’re someone like Tfue and your in-game skill is matched by a swag level that is off the charts, it doesn’t hurt to splash out on some brand new peripherals that are going to set you apart from your fellow professional players – even if they don’t exactly give you a leg up on the competition. The Fortnite star commissioned TaehaTypes to design a new keyboard for him to play with and it’s pretty special. The smaller keyboard, which many Fortnite players opt for instead of normal-sized ones, has a completely vibrant color finish to it. The color of the brand-new keyboard was matched with the keycaps used as well – with a custom finish that has some Japanese lettering underneath the usual English lettering that you find. To really make the new keyboard personalized, it even has Tfue’s tag in the top-right hand corner. Of course, some viewers may question just as to why a keyboard costs $3500, but the answer from TaehaTypes was simple. It comes down to all the custom parts used, as well as sending it off the coloring, and a number of other manufacturing costs. Just when Tfue will debut the keyboard of his Fortnite streams remains to be seen, but if it does help him climb the competitive mountain and get back to his early days of dominating games, it’ll have been worth even penny that he’s shelled out.

Tfue’s lawyer explains why FaZe Clan lawsuit is “an absolute gift” – Dexerto
Tfue’s lawyer explains why FaZe Clan lawsuit is “an absolute gift” Twitch: TfueThe lawyer of Fortnite star Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has explained why FaZe Clan’s lawsuit of his client is “an absolute gift,” and noted how he was close to celebration when he received the complaint. Ever since May, Tfue and FaZe have been stuck in a very public legal battle over the Fortnite professional’s contract. Tenney pulled the first punch when it was revealed that he was suing the esports organization over an “oppressive” contract. Said document was reportedly leaked a few weeks later, giving everyone an inside look and why he was making a complaint. The two parties have gone back and forth, with FaZe Banks making an emotional 20-minute long video giving his side of the story. While things went quiet for a little while, FaZe returned fire in early August by counter-suing Tenney for ‘betrayal’ and breach of contract. Yet, that counter-complaint has been seen as an absolute gift by Tfue’s lawyer Bryan Freedman. Speaking to theScore esports, breaking down the latest filing in the case, Tfue’s representative explained: “The real fact is that FaZe Clan asked the labor commissioner to try and delay that case – to try to avoid responsibility for violating California’s talent agency act by operating as an unlicensed talent agency. “They’re trying to avoid judgment day in the state of California by picking a jurisdiction of New York that has nothing to do with anything other than to allow them to violate California law.” Freedman also added that FaZe claimed they wouldn’t try and collect on money owed to them in the contract and now he was confused that they were coming for that cash. While if that wasn’t enough to sell his side of the argument, Freeman also noted that he was close to celebration when he discovered that the counter-case had been filed in New York and not California. “After I read the complaint, I actually had to check the date on the calendar because I thought it was Christmas – I thought someone had given my client a present,” he said. “This complaint filed in New York is an absolute gift.” Whether or not Freedman gets his “absolute gift” still remains to be seen as the two parties have not yet appeared in court and there have been no further updates since the start of August. As ever, when things do change on that front, we will keep you updated with all the latest news.

Tfue’s lawyer reveals shocking new details about FaZe Clan lawsuit – Dexerto
Tfue’s lawyer reveals shocking new details about FaZe Clan lawsuit New information has been revealed by the lawyer representing Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney in the ongoing legal battle with FaZe Clan, suggesting the organization offered his client illegal contracts. On May 20, Tfue officially filed a lawsuit against the team he represented over a contract which he believed to be “oppressive”, with the organization allegedly taking an 80% cut from his revenue on brand deals. The three year deal was branded as “horrible” by FaZe co-owner Ricky ‘Banks’ Banks, who was left hurt by the allegations as he considered Tfue to be one of his closest friends, but was adamant that plenty of new lucrative deals were offered in order to keep the 21-year-old on FaZe. However, in an interview with theScore Esports, Tfue’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, revealed that while his client did receive better contract offers, they were illegal. “Those contracts provide for illegal procurement without a talent agency license,” he said. “Even worse, those contracts attempted to get Turner to waive the California Talent Agency act. No one could possibly sign something like that because it would be so illegal.” According to Freedman, FaZe Clan are acting as a talent agency without the required license to do so. Tfue’s legal team has already filed a petition with the California Labor Commission, alleging that FaZe being unlicensed is in violation of the state’s labor laws. Given his enormous popularity on both YouTube and Twitch, it was suggested that the lawsuit was simply a way of Tfue terminating his contract with FaZe, potentially allowing him to earn more money by working with other brands. However, Tfue’s lawyer disclosed that the streamer had actually counter-offered FaZe with a contract that he would sign, but it was rejected – contradicting the claims from Banks that the organization would do anything to retain him. Freedman added: “FaZe Clan was presented with a contract that Turner would accept. It was as close to a legal contract as you could get. But that wasn’t good enough for them, they got rid of half of it and made it illegal once again.” Finally, Freedman admitted that one way or another, Tfue was getting out of his contract with FaZe as the initial contract will be deemed to be “void”. FaZe Clan were contacted by theScore Esport to add their side to the story, but they refused to comment. This definitely won’t be the last we hear from the ongoing battle between Tfue and FaZe, so be sure to stay tuned to Dexerto for all the latest developments.

Tfue’s controversial FaZe Clan contract reportedly leaked amid legal battle – Dexerto
Tfue’s controversial FaZe Clan contract reportedly leaked amid legal battle The contract which sparked one of the most-talked about controversies in esports, leading to Tfue suing FaZe Clan, has reportedly been leaked by a ‘non-FaZe member’, amid litigation over its validity. Having joined FaZe Clan in April 2018, Tfue rose to stardom on Twitch and YouTube thanks to his Fortnite Battle Royale skills, as well as representing the organization at major tournaments. On May 20, Tfue and his team shocked the esports and gaming community when it was revealed that he was suing the organization over what he called an “oppressive” contract. That contract was private, save for a few details which FaZe Clan chose to disclose in response to the allegations, which included the claim that they took up to 80% of Tenney’s earnings. FaZe co-owner Banks admitted that while it is stipulated that FaZe will take 80% of sponsorship deals which they secure for Tfue, that clause had never been acted upon, and that they had taken only 20% of two deals, at a total of $60,000, throughout Tfue’s entire time with the organization. Tfue responded in a short video, where he demanded that the contract be ‘released’ to allow for more informed public opinion, to which Banks said he would if approved. However, a leak acquired by TheBlast may have gotten the contract out ahead of Banks. A breakdown of revenue split from the leaked contract – FaZe claims they never acted upon these clauses. The contract appears to support Tfue’s claim that FaZe Clan take 80% of sponsorship deals, when the deal is brought to the ‘gamer’ by the organization – however FaZe say they never took this money. FaZe Clan’s ‘Matching Right’ The contract also appears to back up Tfue’s claim that he was restricted in his options to join other organizations, as any offers made to him by another team had to be brought to FaZe Clan’s attention: Gamer shall be obligated to provide the Offer to Company and the identity of the party providing the Offer, and Company shall have the right to match such Offer during a period of fifteen (15) business days following Company’s actual receipt of the Offer (the “Matching Right”). It also states that if Tfue was made an offer within three months of the contract ending, FaZe must also be informed, and if they chose to match the offer, their exclusivity right would return. The ‘exclusivity and matching right’ detailed in the leaked contract. The contract also states that ‘in-game sticker money’ – which will refer mainly to use of his ‘creator code’ – is split 50/50, and that income generated from cash prizes are to be split 80% to Tfue, and 20% to FaZe Clan. FaZe, specifically Banks, denied taking this money, but if the leaked contract is accurate, it leaves Tfue in a perilous position where, without warning FaZe Clan could start demanding the contractually stipulated splits. Obligations upon termination Another peculiar clause in the contract, under Obligations Upon Termination, states: “In the event of termination for a Gamer Material Breach, Gamer shall be prohibited from playing video games publically or professionally for a period of six months.” You can read the contract in full below. Blast sources believe the entire contract is invalid, for a handful of reasons. They argue that FaZe Clan is operating as a talent agency, despite not being licensed, and that the contract violates anti-competition laws. These non-compete regulations are stringent in California particularly. Tfue’s attorney told The Blast “This is the most unfair contract I have ever seen in almost 30 years of practicing law.” Update: Banks has responded following the contract leak, admitting that Tfue’s initial contract was “horrible”, but labelled him a “selfish asshole” over the legal move against FaZe. DramaAlert host and YouTuber Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem explains that according to Banks, the organization had made efforts to rectify the issues and offered Tfue a better contract, which was refused. Even tho the horrible Tfue & FaZe contract is real. FaZe claims they have offered better deals to try to fix this & its was ignored. @FaZeClan ‘s Last offer to @TTfue according to @Banks was $1M a year & faze collected no rev at all from Tfue & it was declined #DramaAlert pic.twitter.com/ws85NKbgFH — KEEM :popcorn: (@KEEMSTAR) May 23, 2019 Last updated 12:02 PM EST, May 23.

Tfue’s dad plans to make ‘millions’ by teaching Chinese women how to stream – Dexerto
Tfue’s dad plans to make ‘millions’ by teaching Chinese women how to stream YouTube: KONCRETE / FaZe ClanThe father of popular Fortnite player Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has unveiled his next business venture, which involves bringing Chinese women to the United States to teach them how to livestream. The Tenneys have a strong presence in the world of gaming and social media, with Tfue dominating Twitch as the biggest streamer on the platform, while his brother Jack runs a successful YouTube channel named ‘JOOGSQUAD PPJT’, which boasts 4.8 million subscribers. Now, Tfue’s dad intends to turn his attention to finding online success of his own, and has targeted China as the location for his rapid expansion. 700During an appearance on the KONCRETE Podcast, Tfue’s dad explained to host Danny Jones about the massive potential audience in China, the money that could be made, and his plans to create a streaming empire focused on the Asian powerhouse on platform Huya. “10% of Chinese streamers are gamers,” Tfue’s dad explained to Jones. “What I saw was a huge opening. We’re going to build a streaming center with female streamers, and then we’re going to put Turner gaming in China on Huya.” “Turner will be one of the first streamers from the US streaming into China. They’ve got hundreds of millions of people watching, the audiences (in China) dwarfs Twitch.” He then elaborated further on his plan to bring Chinese women to the United States, teach them how to stream, and then allow them to broadcast back to their native land. “Then we’re going to bring Chinese women here, and teach them streaming, and then they’ll stream back into China from here. It’s a great plan. It’s how you make hundreds of millions.” “We’re not taking anyone under 18, it’ll be a seperate company run by a woman. It will be women working with women, there will be no men. This will be straight up, straight as a string. We going to empower and make millionaires of these women. I bet in five years we will have 100 women worth $10 million.” Tfue’s dad also states he intends to teach them business and marketing skills, and how to make money, intends to give them contracts that are not “ridiculous.” “We’ll do it like a business,” he said. “Not like a clown show.” While Tfue’s dad clearly has big intentions for the project, he wasn’t able to give any information as to when, or how, this program would actually start up.

Tfue’s brother JoogSquad forced to delete all of his YouTube videos – Dexerto
Tfue’s brother JoogSquad forced to delete all of his YouTube videos Jack Tenney/YouTubeIn a recent tweet, Jack ‘Joogsquad’ Tenney, the brother of Twith star Tfue, announced that YouTube contacted him and forced him to delete all of his videos off of his account, leaving his fans shocked and saddened by the news. If you were a fan of content creator and YouTuber JoogSquad, then you’re probably going to be disappointed by this news. The YouTuber, who’s real name is Jack Tenney, recently confirmed on Twitter that the video-sharing platform “gave him no choice” but to take down all of the videos on his channel, seemingly without warning. The JOOGSQUAD PPJT channel currently has 5.64 million subscribers, and visiting it currently greets viewers with a blank screen under the “Videos” section. Today I woke up and got a notification from Youtube that gave me absolute no choice but to take every video I’ve ever filmed off YouTube temporarily. It was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to made. it saddens me deeply. But I really don’t have a choice. — Jack Tenney (@JoogSquad) February 17, 2021 “This is the hardest decision I’ve ever had to made,” said Tenney in the tweet. “It saddens me deeply. But I really don’t have a choice.” Tenney then followed up the tweet, stating that “YouTube is nothing without its creators” and then questioning “how can they not see that?” There are a couple of interesting points to make about this situation; The first is that it seems like at least some of the videos have been unlisted, rather than fully deleted, so if you still have the link, it’s possible to find them. Youtube is nothing without its creators. How can they not see that. — Jack Tenney (@JoogSquad) February 17, 2021 The other thing that Tenney did mention in his tweet is that YouTube forced him to take down the videos on his channel down “temporarily,” so it’s possible that his uploads could be back sometime in the near future. In addition to the possibility about when/if the videos will return, there’s also a bigger question looming around the whole situation. Without a confirmation or even a hint from Tenney, YouTube, or anyone else involved, no one really knows why the company asked him to temporarily remove his videos. A few weeks back, Tenney and some other members of his channel got in trouble for changing the Hollywood sign near Los Angeles to read “Hollyboob,” resulting in him getting arrested for the act. It’s currently unknown whether or not that act has anything to do with this situation, although a video of the incident was posted to the channel.

Tfue’s brother claims KEEMSTAR stole Friday Fortnite idea from him – Dexerto
Tfue’s brother claims KEEMSTAR stole Friday Fortnite idea from him Instagram: Joogsquad / KEEMSTARJack ‘Joogsquad’ Tenney, brother of professional Fortnite player Turner ‘Tfue‘ Tenney, has claimed that YouTuber KEEMSTAR stole the idea for his popular Friday Fortnite tournaments from him, without giving credit. DramaAlert host KEEMSTAR has been running the Friday Fortnite tournaments since early 2018, and the weekly event made its return in May, with the backing of FaZe Clan co-owner Banks. Banks decided to use the money that FaZe ‘collected’ from Tfue per his now-controversial contract, $60,000 in total, to fund prize pools for the tournaments. Unsurprisingly, Tfue himself is not permitted to play in the tournaments this time around, thanks to the ongoing lawsuit he has filed against FaZe Clan, over the contract which he claims was “oppressive”. On June 13, the day before the fourth Friday Fortnite event of 2019 is set to begin, Joogsquad hit out at KEEMSTAR on Twitter, claiming “You got the idea (for Friday Fortnite) from me. Then never gave me any credit to further your own personal gain.” He later deleted the tweet, but not before KEEMSTAR had taken a screenshot and responded, dismissing the allegation as a lie, and explaining that he, RiceGum, MrBeast and Banks had all jointly created the tournaments. Jack how many times u going to publicly lie? #FridayFortnie started in @RiceGum bedroom when Rice, @MrBeastYT & @Banks asked me to start a Fortnite tourney for the community. I wanted to do it with YouTubers & @banks wanted pros too. You are a complete joke! (Repost he deleted) pic.twitter.com/nZELccYTaR — KEEM :popcorn: (@KEEMSTAR) June 13, 2019 In response, Joogsquad labelled Keem “scum of the internet”, suggesting he would never be honest about the situation. KEEMSTAR highlighted the hypocrisy of the accusation, claiming Joogsquad himself had just lied by taking credit for the concept of Friday Fortnite. Lol ur such a joke ur calling me a liar in response to u literally lying saying it was your idea for #FridayFortnite when @MrBeastYT , @RiceGum & @Banks were all there physically in person when it started! That’s 3 other people that can publicly testify that you flat out LIE! pic.twitter.com/QSaAMq9oLU — KEEM :popcorn: (@KEEMSTAR) June 13, 2019 KEEMSTAR has been frequently calling out Tfue’s decision to “snitch”, as he puts it, on FaZe H1ghsky1 in his lawsuit against the organization, revealing that the young streamer was only 11, not 13 as claimed. His real age made him ineligible to stream on Twitch, compete in the Fortnite World Cup, or even have a Twitter account, and KEEMSTAR holds Tfue’s lawsuit responsible for H1ghsky1’s accounts being banned. The Fortnite pro responded by simply retweeting memes of KEEMSTAR crying, or wearing clown makeup, to his followers, instead of a more direct response. Joogsquad later apologized to his fans for butting heads with the DramaAlert host, but said he had been “disgusted” by his bias and “lack of integrity”.

Tfue’s brother Joogsquad calls out Banks over FaZe drama – Dexerto
Tfue’s brother Joogsquad calls out Banks over FaZe drama Banks / Instagram: joogsquadFollowing Tfue‘s first public statement on the ongoing legal battle between him and FaZe Clan, his older brother Jack ‘Joogsquad’ Tenney took aim at FaZe owner Banks on social media. Tfue finally gave his side of the story on May 22, or at least partially, as he demanded that FaZe Clan make the contract available for all to see, suggesting that it would back up his claim that it was ‘oppressive’. Ricky ‘Banks‘ Banks, one of FaZe Clan’s founding members and current owners, responded publicly once again, refuting Tfue’s claims and confirming that they would release the contract, with express written permission from their now-former player and content creator. Tfue and Banks were previously close friends. Tfue didn’t respond further, but his brother Joogsquad, who is internet famous in his own right thanks to his YouTube channel with over 4.5 million subscribers, hit back straight at Banks. After Banks’ claim that FaZe “tried to fix the situation”, Joogsquad retorted that his attempt to act as though they had done nothing wrong was “manipulative”, and went on to argue that if Banks truly wanted what was best for his brother, he would have released him. To act like you did nothing wrong is manipulative dog. You left a lot out in that video you made. #ReleaseTheContract — Jack Tenney (@JoogSquad) May 23, 2019 Why not release him if you truly want what’s best for him??? — Jack Tenney (@JoogSquad) May 23, 2019 Joogsquad also questioned Banks’ true power within the organization, after he claimed that ‘higher-ups’ would need approve the contract being made public. Your bio says owner who’s the higher ups???:face_with_rolling_eyes::face_with_rolling_eyes: — Jack Tenney (@JoogSquad) May 23, 2019 Banks responded, arguing that he felt owed a degree of loyalty from Tfue after helping launch his career, but Joogsquad disagreed, explaining that as his brother he had helped Tfue also, but never expected anything in return. Yeah I helped him too but I’ll never fucking act like he owes me anything dog. That’s where you’re dead wrong — Jack Tenney (@JoogSquad) May 23, 2019 Joogsquad went on to call Tfue’s contract the ‘worst ever’, as well as labelling it “illegal”. As a final word, he questioned Banks’ ‘friendship’ with Tfue, stating “You don’t do someone a favor to hold it over their head later. Friends don’t do that.” Banks has claimed that the contract will be released “momentarily”, but at the time of writing is still currently private.

Tfue weighs in on FaZe Dubs suspension after racial slur controversy – Dexerto
Tfue weighs in on FaZe Dubs suspension after racial slur controversy FaZe Clan/tfueTwitch star Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney called the clip of Fortnite pro player Daniel ‘Dubs’ Walsh dropping a racial slur “cringe,” but added he doesn’t think it means the World Cup competitor is a bad person. Dubs was suspended indefinitely from FaZe after a clip of him using a racial slur on another player’s stream surfaced on Reddit. Tfue didn’t seem to be making excuses for Dubs, but did call the whole situation “weird.” “Just because someone says the n-word doesn’t mean they’re racist, like I don’t think f**king Dubs is obviously racist,” the former FaZe Clan member explained on stream. “But it is f**king weird that he would say it, like in his off time you know?” Tenney said the whole situation was made that much worse because Dubs said what he said apparently intentionally on another player’s stream, and not just as a “slip-up” on his own channel. “When you say it on stream and it’s an obvious slip up you can tell, like when my dumb ass said it,” Tfue continued, referencing an incident from 2019. “But he’s just saying it, like with his boys, kinda f*cking cringe.” Tfue did acknowledge Dubs is still pretty young, but he didn’t think that was a total get out of jail free card for what he said. “He’s also like, 10, not that that makes it better, but when we’re kids we all do dumb shit, you know?” the streamer said before responding to a viewer. “It was on accident? I don’t think you say the hard r on accident.” The former FaZe Clan member was suspended for a week from Twitch back in 2018 for using a racial slur himself, and there was another incident of him using another one in 2019, though he wasn’t banned on that occasion. Dubs apologized for the clip on Twitter shortly before FaZe announced his suspension, but his final fate with FaZe Clan following the suspension remains unknown.

Tfue & xQc mock Ninja for bragging that he could buy a bank – Dexerto
Tfue & xQc mock Ninja for bragging that he could buy a bank Twitch: Tfue/Mixer: NinjaTwitch stars Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney and Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel poked fun at Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevin and recent claims from his wife Jessica Blevins that Tfue was “desperate” for money and that Ninja could buy a bank. The Tfue and Ninja rivalry stretches back a long time, way before they did battle at the top of Fortnite and Twitch. What started out as a competitive rivalry has gotten much more personal over the years with Tfue going as far as claiming that Ninja has “always” hated him and labeling the Mixer star as a “p**sy. Ninja has fired back from time to time, but most recently, his wife Jess stepped in as a part of his defense, claiming that Tfue was desperate for money after he leaked Mr Beast’s phone number live on stream. Tfue teamed up with xQc for a session of Fortnite on May 8, with the former Overwatch star poking fun at the claims of him being desperate for money, jokingly offering to gift Tfue a few Twitch subs. Read More: Forsen banned on Twitch and nobody knows why – Though, they stepped their shots up a level, taking their own jabs at Ninja’s recent claim that he could buy a bank and foreclose a troll’s house. “You can be a p**sy but like, you know, as long as you got money, you’re cool, that’s how it works right?” Tfue joked. After xQc piled on with the buy a bank jokes, Tfue brought things to a close with a few shots of his own. “That’s what I’m scared about, I’m scared of somebody that has like hella money to buy my bank and foreclose [my house]” he added. “That s**t would suck, especially as like I’ve been f**king hella desperate for money, so like that s**t wouldn’t take down that rich of a man, you know.” Tfue even jokingly comforted xQc with the knowledge that if he ever got “rich” then he wouldn’t foreclose the former Overwatch player’s house. Ninja made clear that he was only joking around when making the comments about his ability to buy a bank, but it still earned him some backlash on social media. Obviously, given his success with both streaming and Fortnite, Tfue has plenty of cash to his name but he doesn’t appear to have any interest in flaunting it wildly.

Tfue weighs in on debate about Fortnite’s new Boom Box item – Dexerto
Tfue weighs in on debate about Fortnite’s new Boom Box item Epic Games has taken some flack from the professional Fortnite community for their new content in recent weeks, and now Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has given his opinion on the latest addition – the Boom Box. Many streamers and professional gamers were left unhappy when the Boom Box was added to Fortnite in the V7.10 #2 content patch, just before the WSOE 3 tournament’s first round of six. However, Tfue seems to be looking forward to using it, despite some concerns. “Boom Box baby,” Tenney said, after finding one on Fortnite during a livestream. “The ultimate forcing people into a gunfight mechanism!” The Boom Box can be stacked in your inventory and, when placed, sends out destructive signals which can break materials and damage players in the surrounding areas – an ability that some pros think is better than general aim on the game. “Personally, I’m going to abuse the fuck out of it” Tfue said. “Do I like the thing? Hell no. I think it’s a terrible addition to the game.” A number of competitive gamers and streamers have been discussing Epic’s decision to add Boom Boxes to the game, with Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins, CLG’s WishYaLuckk and competitive player WhosDixon all weighing in with their opinion. “I don’t think Epic realizes what they’re doing to the competitive scene. You’re making everything super unpredictable at this point” WhosDixon tweeted. “Also adding some insane item last minute, you’re screwing over the players.” One solution, which was put forward by Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani, would be for professional Fortnite players to come together and unionize to tackle “player treatment and competitive integrity” issues currently surrounding the game.

Tfue trolls KEEMSTAR following accusations that he got H1ghsky1 banned – Dexerto
Tfue trolls KEEMSTAR following accusations that he got H1ghsky1 banned MrBeast, Drama Alert – YouTubeTurner ‘Tfue’ Tenney is one of the world’s most popular Twitch streamers and professional Fortnite Battle Royale players, boasting over six million followers on Twitch due to his skills – but his legal scuffle with esports giant FaZe have critics wondering if he’s responsible for some of the org’s internal conflicts. Tenney filed a lawsuit against FaZe over his “oppressive” contract in late May, which saw major revenue splits in favor of FaZe and a non-complete agreement that would put Tfue out of competitive gaming for six months. However, that wasn’t the only drama FaZe would be involved in, by far; the org is now seeing criticism for signing an allegedly underage player, who they’d claimed was 13 years old. H1ghsky’s signage to FaZe Clan stirred up controversy, after Tfue’s lawsuit against the org claimed that the youngster had only been 11 when added to their ranks. FaZe H1ghsky’s Twitch and Twitter accounts were shut down in the wake of Tfue’s lawsuit, which claimed that H1ghsky had only been 11 years old when signed to the org – an allegation that Drama Alert’s KEEMSTAR feels is directly related to the youngster’s social media bans. KEEMSTAR posted a Tweet on June 12 accusing Tfue of being responsible for H1ghsky’s bans, which, unsurprisingly, saw ample mockery from Tfue’s fanbase. Daily reminder @TTfue got a 12 year olds Twitch & Twitter banned. — KEEM :popcorn: (@KEEMSTAR) June 12, 2019 Some users photoshopped KEEM’s face using various internet memes and clown face paint, which later made their way back to Tfue. While Tfue himself made no direct reply to KEEMSTAR’s claims, he did retweet a few of these humorous photoshops – likely an indirect response to his allegations. 600https://imgur.com/a/PqGXuzu600https://imgur.com/a/PqGXuzu While H1ghsky has found himself booted off of Twitch, the gamer has since made use of YouTube for streaming purposes -with adult supervision, of course. The youngster went on to admit that he had, in fact, lied about his age in order to get on with FaZe Clan, a fib that he claimed was made in order to “fulfill his dream.” [Timestamp: 2:38 for mobile viewers.] Tfue’s initial lawsuit likewise accused FaZe of pressuring him to drink while underage, as well as perform various stunts – claims that have garnered skepticism from fans and critics alike, as Tfue led FaZe in a documented jump off the reservoir near their home. The streamer has since made the move to New Jersey, to live with Duos teammate Dennis ‘Cloak’ Lapore in wake of the drama.

Tfue vs FaZe Clan lawsuit: Court statements refute FaZe claims of New York jurisdiction – Dexerto
Tfue vs FaZe Clan lawsuit: Court statements refute FaZe claims of New York jurisdiction Instagram: BanksIn what is one of the most important lawsuits in the world of esports and gaming right now, popular Fortnite competitor and streamer Turner Tenney is going head to head with his organization FaZe Clan over a contract dispute. The broad strokes of the legal arguments are deceptively simple; FaZe argue that while the contract was terrible it was still legally valid and needs to be honoured by their player. Tenney’s legal counsel say that the contract is invalid for a variety of reasons, principally among them that FaZe were in violation of California labor laws. The organization have always flatly denied that California labor laws should apply to them as the contract states that it is New York laws that are applicable to both parties. The subsequent argument about jurisdiction has played out in public with FaZe counter-suing Tfue in New York for emphasis. In an interview with The Score eSports, Bryan Freedman, Tenney’s lawyer, described the lawsuit as a gift. “After I read the complaint, I actually had to check the date on the calendar because I thought it was Christmas,” said Freedman. “I thought someone had given my client a present. This complaint filed in New York is an absolute gift.” He added: “The real fact is that FaZe Clan asked the labor commissioner to try and delay that case – to try to avoid responsibility for violating California’s talent agency act by operating as an unlicensed talent agency. They’re trying to avoid judgment day in the state of California by picking a jurisdiction of New York that has nothing to do with anything other than to allow them to violate California law.” This month, Tfue’s attorneys have made the first steps towards attempting to establish which jurisdiction should apply to the case. Several statements have been submitted to the court that aim to show why the jurisdiction should be California and why the counter-filing by FaZe in New York should be dismissed on merit or to consider application of forum non conveniens, a discretionary power judges can use to dismiss a case if it is agreed another court is more appropriate. One such statement comes from Melissa Bowden, FaZe’s former Director of Brand Partnerships. In the court document, she states that not only were all of FaZe’s business apparatus based in California but also that they have no offices in New York. “While I worked at FaZe Clan, FaZe Clan only had offices in Los Angeles California” it reads. “It did not have any offices out of state, including New York. “While I worked at FaZe Clan, FaZe Clan’s entire upper management team was located in California; FaZe Clan’s entire talent management team was based in California; FaZe Clan’s entire merchandise / e-commerce team was located in California; FaZe Clan’s entire esports business team was located in California; FaZe Clan’s entire human resources team was located in California; FaZe Clan’s entire marketing team was located in California; and FaZe Clan’s entire business development team was located in California.” Tenney himself has also offered a statement in regards to the location of FaZe’s business during the time he signed with the organization. “During that trip to Los Angeles I stayed at FaZe Clan’s ‘Clout House. The ‘Clout House’ was a house in Los Angeles rented by FaZe Clan and occupied by talent who were represented by FaZe Clan. During that trip to Los Angeles I met with various FaZe personnel, including individuals who I believed to be FaZe Clan’s management and owners.” He added: “Ultimately, I signed a ‘Gamer Agreement’ while meeting with FaZe Clan in Los Angeles. That agreement was negotiated in Los Angeles. “I have only interacted with FaZe Clan personnel who were located in Los Angeles. I have never interacted with any FaZe Clan personnel who were out of state, including New York. FaZe Clan’s Los Angeles ‘talent managers’ would procure or attempt to procure employment for me. Again, those ‘talent managers’ were located in Los Angeles. In addition to visiting and living in FaZe Clan’s Los Angeles ‘Clout House,’ I also visited FaZe Clan’s corporate offices in Los Angeles a number of times. I never met with any FaZe Clan personnel in New York or [have] been to any FaZe Clan offices in New York. I am not aware that any even exist.” Perhaps most damning of all is the statement made by Jesse A. Kaplan, a partner in Freedman’s firm, who obtained documents submitted by FaZe to the California Labor Commissioner’s Office. While these documents include a statement from Jeffrey W. Bullock, the secretary of state for Delaware, saying that FaZe Clan is incorporated in that state, the same documents list FaZe Clan’s executive office as being in Los Angeles, California. In addition to these documents, Kaplan also submitted examples from other lawsuits where FaZe had chosen to file in California courts, further suggesting that they are happy with that jurisdiction when it suits them. Read More: When is Tfue returning to stream on Twitch? – Beyond the declaration about the company becoming incorporated in Delaware in 2016, it isn’t clear at this time what counter-arguments FaZe Clan will put forward to challenge these statements. Should the court decide that on the basis of the above statements and evidence that the appropriate jurisdiction is indeed California, this makes the case significantly more difficult for FaZe, who have always maintained that California labor laws would not apply to them. Dexerto will keep you up to date with further developments in the case.

Tfue teased by girlfriend Corinna Kopf for “”always complaining”” about Fortnite – Dexerto
Tfue teased by girlfriend Corinna Kopf for “”always complaining”” about Fortnite Fortnite streamer Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney makes a living playing the game but his girlfriend Corinna Kopf can’t help but notice he complains about it a lot. Twitch streamer Tfue has made quite the career out of Fortnite as he’s one of the highest-earning players in tournaments and he’s also one of the biggest streamers on the platform thanks to Fortnite. However, if you visit his stream on any given day, you might find it hard to believe he actually enjoys playing. A lot of his playtime is him complaining about other players or issues with the game in general. Sometimes Tfue’s complaints are justified Haven’t posted a Fortnite clip in a while :hugging_face: pic.twitter.com/dZV7Mj8hFQ — Tfue (@TTfue) April 2, 2019 There’s no denying that Tfue loves Fortnite because he probably wouldn’t be playing it if that wasn’t the case but he does have several issues with the game in terms of how it plays competitively and the slew of bugs. He recently ran into one of the many Fortnite bugs on stream in the clip above that features him flying through the air in the wrong direction after being shot out of a cannon. It looks like not only his Twitch viewers have picked up on his tendency to complain, however, as his girlfriend, Corinna Kopf, decided to poke a bit of fun at him. Kopf calls out Tfue for complaining about Fortnite During one of his streams, Kopf invited him to a Fortnite party which he joined and was called out for always complaining about Fortnite. “Stop complaining,” she told him. “You know what I noticed? You always have an excuse every single time, no matter what happens.” Timestamp of 1:03 for mobile users In another match together, she told him to not die, which he responded to by saying that he never dies. “At least when you do die, it’s not your fault, it’s someone else’s fault,” she said. “You’ll never admit when someone else is better than you.”

Tfue tilted after getting stream sniped by Fortnite hacker – Dexerto
Tfue tilted after getting stream sniped by Fortnite hacker Tfue – TwitchTurner ‘Tfue‘ Tenney, arguably the biggest content creator of Fortnite Battle Royale in the world, was not happy after a hacker made a point to stream snipe him, and not for the first time. There is no name that’s more closely tied to Fortnite than Tfue, whose incredible rise to prominence over the past two years has turned him into a household name in the online gaming world. He has made it clear, however, that having that massive of a platform does have its down sides, such as having to face the constant threat of getting stream-sniped. Stream-sniping took center stage again in one his recent streams, as an enemy player clearly using an aimbot hack found and eliminated him, and it apparently wasn’t even the first time that specific hacker had followed him. Read More: Bugha hits out at Epic – “‘You should have watched him.’ Why? It’s the same kid. He has aimbot. I watched him kill 20 people last night, what’s the point of me watching him kill 20 more people. All he wants is f*cking attention dude. He wants nothing more than for me to f*cking go watch him have no skill at this video game.” While no one has ever doubted that Tfue has to constantly deal with stream snipers, some have said that he complains about it too much, which was a point the former FaZe Clan star mocked moments after getting beamed out. “‘Tfue you complain too much though, honestly,’” he jeered. “‘Why do you complain dude? Tfue, all he does is complain!’” Read More: Tfue, Ninja & more react to Combat vault – He wrapped up the conversation by coming to terms with the fact that facing stream snipers comes with the territory of being a “giant streamer,” which he claims isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. “It will never stop,” he said. “Being a giant streamer may seem like the greatest thing ever, but, believe it or not, there are a lot of cons.” Segment starts at 3:15 mark for mobile users. Unfortunately, as evidenced in the clip above, developers Epic Games have not been able to completely stop stream snipers and hackers plaguing their popular battle royale title, despite their best efforts. Thus, top streamers like Tfue, Ninja, NICKMERCS, and others have really no other choice except to put up with what is likely a very frustrating aspect of their content creation.

Tfue tearfully announces indefinite hiatus from streaming: “I feel trapped” – Dexerto
Tfue tearfully announces indefinite hiatus from streaming: “I feel trapped” YouTube: TfueFormer Fortnite pro and popular streamer Tfue tearfully announced his indefinite hiatus from streaming in an emotional video after going dark for months. Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney is one of the most prominent Fortnite creators and players in the entire history of the world-famous battle royale game, on top of being one of Twitch’s most-followed broadcasters. Although Tfue has been creating content for years, his popularity took off with Fortnite, sending him catapulting to internet stardom in the late 2010’s. However, fans noticed that he hadn’t been active on social media for nearly two months come summer 2023, with his last Instagram posts and documented Twitch streams taking place back in April. It wouldn’t be long before Tfue would surface once again with an explanation for going dark online and what the future of his content holds. Tfue in tears as he admits to feeling “trapped” in streaming career On June 20, Tfue uploaded an emotional video to YouTube simply titled, ‘Goodbye.’ In the nearly 40-minute-long video, the Fortnite player cried as he reminisced about his career in professional gaming and content creation, but admitted to feeling “trapped” in his streaming career. “I just need to go live my life,” he explained. “Who knows if I’ll be back, man? I mean, maybe, who knows. I just need time to get away, just to go live my life.” “I used gaming to escape from reality, and I feel like now I use reality to escape from work. I just feel kind of trapped sometimes, you know? It’s been fucking hard, streaming f*ckin’ six, eight hours a day. I don’t have time to do sh*t.” “I just need to take time off, you know? I’m f*ckin’ 25, and I feel like the majority of my life has been in front of a screen. I wouldn’t take it back for the world, but I feel like I just need a break. I just need to escape for a little bit.” For now, it’s unclear when, or if, Tfue will come back… but his fans and fellow creators are showing their support no matter what he chooses. Streamers react to Tfue leaving the internet Names like Clix, CouRage, and others poured in to share their sentiments on Tfue’s latest move, congratulating him for his long years in the game and wishing him the best in his future endeavors. Man, what a journey for you. Thanks for being so vulnerable and sharing what you’re truly feeling. Enjoy your time living life how you want. Congrats on an incredible run! — Jack “CouRage” Dunlop (@CouRageJD) June 20, 2023 Still remember the Fortnite Fridays back in the day! Enjoy your time Tfue!! — Nick Eh 30 (@NickEh30) June 20, 2023 This isn’t the first time a content creator has decided to step back from their career, with personalities like Marzia Kjellberg and even Jenna Marbles giving up their jobs as influencers to pursue other avenues in the past.

Tfue surpassed as fastest growing Twitch channel by rival Fortnite pro – Dexerto
Tfue surpassed as fastest growing Twitch channel by rival Fortnite pro Tfue/TwitchFortnite star Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has lost his place as the fastest-growing streamer on Twitch for the last month, being overtaken by a rival professional player. The former FaZe Clan member, who is arguably the biggest name in Fortnite, has been on the path to claiming Twitch supremacy following the exit of Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins. With Blevins headed to Mixer, the race for top spot has boiled down to Tfue and Michael ‘shroud’ Grzesiek. While Tfue is certainly on course to surpass Shroud in that running, he has been left in the dust by another rival as the fastest-growing Twitch channel for the last 30 days – between July 9 and August 9 – and he’s got little chance of catching up. Tfue has fallen behind a fellow Fortnite star as Twitch’s fastest growing channel. Fortnite World Cup solos winner Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf has stolen that spot off Tenney with over 500,000 followers gained in that same period of time according to TwitchMetrics. When he isn’t being stream sniped, the Sentinels professional player has been displaying his insane skills with a camera view of his hand – showing off the mind-blowing speed at which he builds. He’s also been playing alongside Ninja in Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem’s Friday Fortnite events, which has seemingly helped too. Bugha has left Tfue way behind with his new Twitch success. Despite dethroning Tfue for the thirty days between July 9 to August 9, Bugha still has a ways to go before he’s even close to Tenney’s overall follower count. As of writing, Tfue has over 6.77 million followers and that number is still growing – while Bugh has a touch over 550,000. He is still averaging a higher viewer count on his broadcasts too, including having more than 25 thousand viewers during a stream’s peak. That could all change though if Tfue ever followed through on his threat to uninstall Fortnite. Like Ninja and his band of friends, Tenney has raged about the addition of the BRUTE Mechs in Season Ten – even going as far as telling Epic Games to go “f*ck yourself.” Despite his tirade on August 3, the Fortnite star has chosen to stick with the game and it looks like he will continue to do so. What it remains for his Twitch channel, remains to be seen, but it’s looking unlikely that he will catch Bugha anytime soon.

Tfue appears to get ‘swatted’ while streaming live on Twitch – Dexerto
Tfue appears to get ‘swatted’ while streaming live on Twitch Twitch: TfueSuperstar streamer Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney appears to have been “swatted” during his latest Twitch broadcast. Luckily, he seems to have come away from the shock incident all smiles, despite the unpleasant surprise. The Twitch star, 22, was playing Minecraft during a Dec. 23 broadcast when shouting and orders can be heard in the background of his stream. It appeared that Tfue had been ‘swatted’ by one of his viewers. The distant voices can be heard demanding the streamer to “come out with your hands up”. He disappears off-screen, before he can be heard stating, “I have my hands up officer”. Tfue can then be heard repeating “I have my hands up” several times in a row as he moves into the next room. His following conversation with the suspected officer cannot be heard. Moments later, Tfue returned to his computer, where he remained silent while staring at the camera for some time. He also laughed and took a drink, but has not yet commented on the suspected swatting situation. Read More: Valkyrae leaks her YouTube earnings – Soon after, he got a donation claiming to be the swatter. It read “get swatted,” to which Twitch streamer replied, “nice man, you got me… got me real good.” As of publication, he has returned to playing Minecraft again. What is swatting? Swatting is the act of making a hoax emergency call to authorities, in the hope an armed dispatch will be sent to the home of the unsuspecting target. These ‘pranks’ have caused fatal incidents in the past, but are still somewhat prevalent. Twitch and YouTube streamers are often the main targets of these pranks so that the ‘swatters’ can watch the event unfold in real-time. Perhaps the most high-profile swatting case saw the perpetrator jailed for 20 years for a series of hoax calls against a rival Call of Duty player, which resulted in the death of an innocent man not involved with either party. Unfortunately, this is far from the first time a high-profile streamer has been ‘swatted’ either. Six months ago, Charli D’Amelio was forced to hire police after an incident at her home, while Fortnite pros like Clix and Bugha have also had to deal with the ‘prank’ multiple times. Tfue himself has also been the target of ‘swatting’ in the past; he was playing Fortnite scrims on-stream the last time it happened. The Twitch star has yet to comment on the suspected swatting. Dexerto will update this article with more information if the Twitch star chooses to speak out.

Tfue speaks out on Cloak “exposing” FaZe Clan – “He’s a PR nightmare” – Dexerto
Tfue speaks out on Cloak “exposing” FaZe Clan – “He’s a PR nightmare” FaZe Clan / Tfue – TwitchFollowing what Dennis ‘Cloak‘ Lepore had to say about his current situation with FaZe Clan, his Fortnite Battle Royale duo Turner ‘Tfue‘ Tenney has given his take on the matter. It’s hardly a secret by now that the relationship between Cloak and FaZe Clan is hanging by virtually its final thread, as both parties have confirmed that the Fortnite star will likely be leaving sooner rather than later. Although things between them haven’t gotten as dramatic as when Tfue filed his controversial lawsuit, Cloak went on both his stream and Twitter to “expose” the organization for making “false” statements regarding his intentions and future. Having kept relatively quiet about what’s been going on, Tfue finally broke his silence after seeing what his partner was up to, jokingly taking shots at his ability to be a PR nuisance. “He’s like a fireman’s hose but no one’s holding it,” he said. “He’s a PR nightmare. He is a PR nightmare. Could be alright though.” Tfue’s reaction to Cloak’s comments are rather interesting, especially considering that when he first publicly spoke out after filing his lawsuit, it was in a very short YouTube video that had him give what many believed was a prepared statement. That was a very stark contrast to how his duo went about expressing himself on Twitter and his Twitch stream, all of which had a lot more of an impromptu feel to it. Tfue’s reaction did not stop there, as he and Team Liquid pro player Chap continued to discuss the potential future of Cloak in esports. While Chap wondered out loud if any organization, such as Luminosity Gaming, were interested in buying out the FaZe captain’s contract, Tfue shot the idea down immediately. “Uh, that’s not going to happen,” he said. “He is in the same contract as I brother, it is an illegal contract, an excellent contract.” The entire video of this can be seen below, including all of the comments that Cloak made on his stream and social media, followed by Tfue’s and Chap’s reactions at the 5:27 mark. Cloak set to leave FaZe Clan, but when? News of Cloak potentially leaving FaZe Clan first broke on June 22, after the organization put out a tweet saying that they were in agreement with the star player for him to depart, even announcing him as a restricted free agent. However, things turned a bit south when the team captain took exception to some of the comments the org had made in their tweets, calling the comments “false” live on his stream. As of now, he continues to be a member of FaZe, but his departure is assumed to be an inevitability, considering that he’s already taken every mention and branding of the team off of his content and social media pages.

Tfue suing FaZe Clan over “oppressive” contract – Dexerto
Tfue suing FaZe Clan over “oppressive” contract Fortnite pro player and popular Twitch streamer Turner ‘Tfue‘ Tenney is suing the FaZe Clan organization over an oppressive contract, arguing they took a significant portion of the revenue made from his branded YouTube and Twitch content, among other allegations. Tfue officially filed against FaZe Clan on May 20 for allegedly limiting his ability to pursue his profession in violation of California law, according to a report by Hollywood Reporter. Signing to an esports organization can give the org access to a certain amount of revenue, which varies depending on the contract signed. Tfue alleges FaZe is only leaving him with 20% of the revenue from his branded videos on social media, with the org taking an 80% cut. Tfue is suing FaZe Clan. Tfue and his lawyer argued esports players’ representatives should be regulated like agents of film or TV stars, saying there is little to no regulation or oversight for how things run right now. The report reveals that Tfue attempted to terminate his agreement with FaZe back in September, claiming the organization had breached their deal. The attempt was rejected and he remained a member of FaZe. His lawyer argues that not only is FaZe taking the majority of his revenue from branded YouTube and Twitch content, in addition to his touring and appearance revenue, but he also says the organization is jeopardizing the health, safety, and welfare of its members. Tfue said FaZe pressured him to live in one of their homes with other young YouTubers where he was given alcohol before being legally able to drink. Tfue and Cloak are two of the biggest names for FaZe Clan’s Fortnite team. “Faze Clan also continuously pressured and encouraged Tenney and others to undertake dangerous stunts while performing in videos,” said Bryan Freedman, Tfue’s lawyer. “During one video, Tenney suffered an injury to his arm while skateboarding which resulted in permanent disfigurement.” Tfue also alleges the organization signed an 11-year-old player and pressured him and his family to lie about his age. He’s trying to find out if the contract is unenforceable, which would require FaZe to give the player his full earnings. “Tfue and my law firm are sending a message,” Freedman said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “The time is now for content creators, gamers and streamers to stop being taken advantage of through oppressive, unfair and illegal agreements. The significant legal actions taken today will be a wake up call that this behavior will no longer be tolerated. The gaming community deserves a safe environment that allows gamers the freedom to control their own careers.” You can read the full lawsuit below. Tenney v Faze Clan by on Scribd What does FaZe Clan have to say about the lawsuit? FaZe Clan released an official statement to the accusations, calling them false and saying no money has been taken from Tfue’s tournament winnings, Twitch revenue, YouTube revenue or from any social media platform. FaZe Clan’s response to today’s press article regarding Tfue: pic.twitter.com/eVdRVMnRpl — FaZe Clan (@FaZeClan) May 20, 2019 Following the above response, FaZe Clan issued a further clarification on the clause called out by Tfue’s lawsuit stating that FaZe was entitled to 80% of Tfue’s earnings from branded deals. According to FaZe Clan, not only have they never collected any money from that clause, they state that they have been working to rework Tfue’s contract since every other contract made since last summer has given 80% to the gamer and 20% to the org. They further state that they have offered Tfue several new agreements that featured seven-figure signing bonuses, but Tfue has rejected or ignored them all. A follow-up from FaZe Clan on today’s unfortunate situation. pic.twitter.com/qm6sK8v88B — FaZe Clan (@FaZeClan) May 21, 2019 FaZe Clan’s founder Ricky Banks was the first to respond to the situation on Twitter, denying the allegations raised by Tfue. “The first thing I’d like to say is we do NOT and have never taken 80% of anyone’s prize money,” he tweeted. “Not sure where that came from, but a contract like that has NEVER existed. We’ve collected $0 from Turner’s prize money. ZERO.” Yo this whole thing with @TTfue is pretty unbelievable. The first thing I’d like to say is we do NOT and have never taken 80% of anyones prize money. Not sure where that came from, but a contract like that has NEVER existed. We’ve collected $0 from Turners prize money. ZERO. — FaZe Banks (@Banks) May 20, 2019 He also added he doesn’t believe Tfue knows the extent of his accusations. “And to have all this dropped on my head, without any warning,” Banks tweeted. “It blows my mind. I still don’t fully believe Turner knows understands what these claims are. I believe his team put this in front of him and encouraged him to follow through. I’m heartbroken homies.” And to have all this dropped on my head, without any warning. It blows my mind. I still don’t fully believe Turner knows understands what these claims are. I believe his team put this in front of him and encouraged him to follow through. I’m heartbroken homies :broken_heart: — FaZe Banks (@Banks) May 20, 2019 Banks continued by saying the situation goes beyond numbers and contracts and refers to how he considered Tfue family. 100 Thieves CEO Matthew ‘Nadeshot‘ Haag commented on the situation on Twitter but was quickly called a “piece of shit” by Banks. Daniel “KEEMSTAR” Keem, the host of YouTube’s Drama Alert, says he spoke with FaZe Clan and they say they have only collected $60,000, as mentioned in their official response, from Tfue since he’s been in FaZe. The organization also says the contract for brand deals is 80/20, with Tfue getting the 80%. Talked to @FaZeClan They said they have only collected $60k from @TTfue since hes been in FaZe.

Tfue slams “dogshit” Fortnite Battle Royale players for behavior during scrims – Dexerto
Tfue slams “dogshit” Fortnite Battle Royale players for behavior during scrims Tfue TwitchPopular Fortnite Battle Royale players who get involved in teaming during scrims. Tfue became the victim of “third partying”, where multiple players from different teams focus on killing one player, as he was practicing for the Fortnite World Cup online qualifers as a duo with teammate cloakzy. The former FaZe member displayed the incredible mechanical skill that he is known for by qualifying for solos, but with only one week to make it through to the duos tournament, he began to get frustrated with the tactics of the other competitive players. While practicing in Duo’s scrims against some of the top players in the region, Tfue found himself getting shot at by multiple teams as the storm was closing in and began to wonder why he was being singled out. After looking back through the match in Replay Mode, cloakzy discovered that his teammate was being targeted by 10 players near the end of the game. He commented: “There’s two, four, six, eight, ten! There’s ten people spraying you and then Ghoul and Klass under us shot an RPG at you.” Tfue was shocked as he watched all of the bullet trails spraying towards his character. and he took a moment before reacting to what he saw. Then, he shouted: “Bro, what the fuck am I looking at?” Tfue then slammed the players who were only trying to kill him, saying: “All these dogshit players so desperate for this fucking kill.” Noticing how close some of his pursuers were to each other, Tfue also explained how the current meta which enables players to build one-by-one structures on top of each other was being exploited to single him out. “Look at these three mother fuckers, you guys are literally stacked,” He said before mocking the players for third-partying them, “Imma do one on the first floor, one on the second floor, one on the third floor. Let’s all shoot these together, you ready? Three, two, one, let’s go!” He left the replay mode shortly after, clearly frustrated with the current meta and how it encourages team-shooting vulnerable players for elimination points, but not before adding that the players who were attempting to kill him were “fucking pussies.” The Fortnite World Cup is expected to be the last competitive event Tfue will attend, which won’t come as a surprise to many fans given how vocal the streamer is about his distaste for the current competitive state of the game. Tfue is expected to compete next at the Fortnite Pro-Am tournament on June 16, however, teaming up with LA Lakers basketball player, Josh Hart, for the Duos competition.

Tfue shows support for banned Twitch star Dellor with amusing tribute – Dexerto
Tfue shows support for banned Twitch star Dellor with amusing tribute Tfue / YouTube: dellorOne of the most popular Fortnite streamers, Turner ‘Overwatch player turned popular content creator, Dellor was recently banned from Twitch following an explosive outburst that saw him smash a keyboard into his own face. Having taken some time away from social media following brief period in medical care, Dellor returned to live streaming on YouTube instead and was met with overwhelming support. Now, pro Fortnite player and fellow streamer Tfue has reached out to show his respect and provide encouragement. In an October 13 broadcast on Twitch, Tfue decided to pay tribute to the recently banned streamer by mimicking his actions and smashing some equipment. “Can we get some #FreeDellor in the chat please,” he pleaded his viewers before breaking his keyboard over his knee and holding the shattered remains in front of the camera for all to see. “Do not hit yourself with it or you will be banned,” one of Tfue’s friends warned in his voice chat just moments before the keyboard was snapped in half. Dellor was banned from the Twitch platform for violating the terms of service. Smashing a keyboard over his face counted as an expression of self-harm which subsequently resulted in his removal from the streaming site. In his October 6 return to live streaming, Dellor transitioned to the YouTube platform and was greeted by over 15,000 concurrent viewers. The streaming community has been highly supportive of Dellor’s recent efforts in the face of adversity and this homage from Tfue evidently meant the world to him as he responded with a simple, “I love you @TTfue” Known for his amusing outbursts, even playing into the cliche with his YouTube icon set to a picture of his face mid-scream, Dellor has yet to follow up with another stream on the platform. With the video of his first stream now sitting at over half a million views, it will be interesting to see if his success on the platform continues to skyrocket in the face of his recent ban from Twitch.

Tfue shows just how overpowered Fortnite’s Fishing Rod can be – Dexerto
Tfue shows just how overpowered Fortnite’s Fishing Rod can be In the midst of a Fortnite saw the introduction of the Fishing Rod. A new item that allowed players to find loot in any body of water, from ammunition to rare weapons and more. The Fishing Rod was recently buffed in Fortnite to allow functionality on land. While the changes may have looked simple on paper, Tfue has shown that it can change the outcome of highly competitive matches with other professional players. In a November 3 stream on Twitch, Tfue and his squad of popular professionals were streaming their run through the latest FNCS matches. Throughout the various games, the Fortnite star showcased how the new functionality of the Fishing Rod can come in handy even at the highest level of competition. With absolutely no building materials to his name as a huge gunfight ensued, Tfue focused his efforts on ‘fishing’ for nearby loot and was handily rewarded thanks to the powerful item that now lets players hook loot from a distance. “I got max metal,” he said to his team after picking up 550 metal in the blink of an eye thanks to a precise hook on an eliminated enemy. “I have zero mats,” a teammate explained as Tfue was easily able to rectify the situation and share his newfound riches among the squad. In another match, he asked his teammates to break down some nearby structures so he could fish for even more loot from a great distance. “I’m gonna grab the RPG,” he explained, using the Fishing Rod from a safe distance. The benefits of being able to hook loot from a distance cannot be overstated. Remaining in position with the team, Tfue didn’t have to risk his life or waste precious building materials. Rather, he pulled them towards his team with ease. Tfue recently dominated in the Championship series with some remarkable RPG plays that led to complete squad wipes, and ended up finishing top five in Week 1 with 56 points. Having hooked a fresh RPG thanks to the new and improved Fishing Rod, it’s safe to say the streamer has uncovered a powerful tactic when it comes to Fortnite’s competitive play.

Tfue shows off his ridicously expensive toilet with insane features – Dexerto
Tfue shows off his ridicously expensive toilet with insane features Instagram: tfue / Unsplash: Jan Antonin KolarTwitch streamer Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has shown off his ridiculously expensive toilet, that even comes with a remote control to take advantage of all of its bizarre features. [jwplayer TsI6Bhgu] With top streamers raking in absurd amounts of money, becoming millionaires off the back of their gaming talents, you see them start to enjoy the finer things in life, with big houses, fast cars and expensive clothes. Tfue, though, has already had all of the above and more, so what else do you buy when you’ve got everything you need? Well, a luxury smart toilet is, of course, the next logical step, complete with everything you could ask a toilet to do. On October 7, Tfue simply tweeted saying that he “spent $2000 on a toilet and it was the best decision of [his] life.” Obviously, this raised a lot of questions from fans, who wondered what could possibly make a toilet worth $2000 and, to Tfue’s credit, he managed to justify it with a video reveal. As you can see, his toilet comes with a remote control to get everything you need done. After the motion detection opens the lid for you, you can use the various buttons available to flush the toilet, heat the seat, use the dryer, turn on the bidet and more. Tfue describes his new throne as “cracked” and he’s completely right. It literally looks like everything you could want from a toilet, including some nice mood lighting in the actual bowl that really makes it look next-level. While we’re talking about luxury toilets, though, it’s impossible not to mention that of Michael ‘shroud’ Grzesiek, who got himself a water jet stream toilet for $10,000 back in February 2019 and, if we were paying that much for a toilet, we would probably never want to get off it.

Tfue reveals new ‘0 ping’ setup and brings back classic window dive – Dexerto
Tfue reveals new ‘0 ping’ setup and brings back classic window dive FaZe Clan/Twitch: TfueTurner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has shown off his new streaming setup, after moving in with duo partner Dennis ‘Cloakzy’ Lepore. He also did some crowd-pleasing, bringing back a fan-favorite window dive. Tfue and Cloakzy have been a duo since the early days of Fortnite Battle Royale, regularly bringing home prizes and impressive placings. However, amid Tfue’s lawsuit against ex-organization FaZe Clan, Cloak recently demonstrated the pair’s friendship, as he agreed to Tfue staying in his home until the situation is resolved. 600Tfue made a return to Twitch streaming on May 31, using the new setup for him at Cloak’s house, and quickly got back to his usual standards of gameplay. The streaming setup looks clean, with multiple monitors and incredible internet, which Tfue demonstrated by showing some ridiculous Playground edits and building, while practicing 1v1’s. Tfue’s viewers were impressed, with one saying “he’s even better on 0 ping.” His stream also had a new look to it, with new designs to the re-sub animations, and out with the old FaZe Clan branding. It didn’t take Tfue long to return to his usual tricks either, as he proceeded to dive out of Cloakzy’s window, as is his trademark move. Despite hilariously struggling with the blind, his chat were pleased to see the famous move return. Tfue’s lawsuit against FaZe Clan, on the basis of an “oppressive” contract, has been on-going for the past few weeks, and shows no signs of reaching a conclusion anytime soon. The community has been divided on the issue, with many taking the side of FaZe Clan, while others, such as Lepore, stand with Tfue in his legal battle. Whatever your view on the situation, it’s clear that Tfue’s Fortnite Battle Royale talents haven’t gone anywhere, and he’s back on the grind ahead of July’s World Cup in New York City.

Tfue robbed in Miami after Fortnite x NFL Streamer Bowl – Dexerto
Tfue robbed in Miami after Fortnite x NFL Streamer Bowl Twitch Esports – TwitterStar Twitch streamer Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney announced that he was a victim of a robbery following the $500,000 Fortnite x NFL Streamer Bowl charity event that the former FaZe Clan member had competed in. Tfue was in Miami, Florida this week to participate in Twitch Rivals’ star-studded charity tournament featuring some of the world’s biggest Fortnite content creators and pro football players, in the lead up to Super Bowl LIV. In the early hours of January 31, approximately seven hours after the competition had wrapped up, he tweeted out that he had gotten robbed, although not mentioning any additional details about the incident. A lot of support and concern poured in from all corners of the Fortnite community in response to the tweet, and it wasn’t until nearly eight hours later that Tfue finally provided another update. Read More: Fortnite Streamer Bowl final placements – He revealed that the perpetrators stole his ‘Royal Oak AP Arabic Dial’ watch, which he provided a picture of in a post on his Instagram story. While it’s not known exactly how much Tfue’s watch was worth, similar ‘Audemars Piguet Mens Royal Oak 41MM Steel VS Arabic Dial’ diamond watches usually go for tens of thousands of dollars, even as much as $40,000 for the 33 Ct on the Chrono24 watch website. Shortly after this Instagram post, the Fortnite superstar provided another update on Twitter, this time letting everyone know he was alright and that the only damage done was the loss of his watch. “I’m fine by the way,” he tweeted. “The guys ran away with my AP though.” No other details are known about this incident at this time and it’s unclear whether or not Tfue will even share additional info since it’s safe to assume that there will be a police investigation into the robbery. This incident took place shortly after Tfue and his partner, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, took second place at the Twitch Rivals Streamer Bowl on January 30, winning $80,000 for charity. The Twitch star was named tournament MVP for his stellar performances throughout the competition, which helped the duo earn 16 eliminations and an average placement of 7.25.

Tfue shoots down steroid accusations after his body transformation – Dexerto
Tfue shoots down steroid accusations after his body transformation instagram: tfueTwitch star Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney denied allegations he uses steroids after his body transformation pictures went viral. Tfue has come back into the spotlight as the streamer has been enjoying the resurgence of Fortnite. On top of his comeback, he has also gone viral for his dedication to fitness which he’s been documenting on his Instagram page. Now, he’s responded to rumors that have spread online, suggesting that he’s using steroids or other PEDs to fuel his massive gains. View this post on Instagram Tfue addresses steroid rumors The Fortnite star hopped on the podcast Bradley Martyn’s Raw Talk, where Martyn asked Tfue if he uses any steroids. “No, never. I probably would, but I wouldn’t take a lot,” Tfue said. Although he admitted he doesn’t take steroids, he didn’t rule them out in the long run. He credited his muscle gain to fixing his diet, as well as taking creatine – a natural supplement – which helps build muscle. Time starts at 40:32 The rumors that Tfue takes steroids began surfacing roughly two years ago when he went from skinny and lean to muscular and shredded. Tfue explained how integral creatine has been to his gains, “It does help. I mean, it’s not like f**king steroids. I always see TikToks that are like ‘Yo, you on steroids? Nah, I’m on creatine.’” The 24-year-old streamer has joined fellow streamers like SypherPK in transforming their bodies over the last few years in a hardcore dedication to fitness outside of broadcasting hours.

Tfue roasts Fortnite console players after Turbo Building nerf – Dexerto
Tfue roasts Fortnite console players after Turbo Building nerf Turner ‘Fortnite Battle Royale‘s console players after seeing that Epic Games had nerfed the game’s Turbo Building feature. The fast building feature was overhauled much to the dissatisfaction of fans on August 27, with the introduction of the v10.20 patch, but soon faced stern criticism from members of the game’s online community who called for those tweaks to be reverted. While many players were delighted to see that Epic answered their prayers and reversed their decision just a day later, it’s fair to say that Tfue was landing some heavy shots on the console community before the news broke. Posting to his official Twitter account on August 28, the former FaZe Clan member first tweeted: “I feel for controller players this update,” before following that up with another cheeky comment. He added: “At least aim assist didn’t get nerfed,” referencing the fact that players using Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and even Nintendo Switch are given the option of a slight improvement in shooting accuracy – a feature that has had its fair share of problems over time. Tfue has previously joked about the impact of Fortnite‘s Aim Assist feature on console, after giving it a try back in July, claiming that console gamers find it “too hard” to manually lock their crosshairs on targets. Now, he will presumably be delighted to know that PC players have managed to retain one of the most effective building mechanics, even if those on console still have the aiming feature at their disposal. Turbo 90’s vs Clicking 90’s IM CRACKED. pic.twitter.com/3cgUxtsKvJ — Myth (@TSM_Myth) August 27, 2019 Epic Games claimed that their initial change to Turbo Building was to prevent spam builds and encourage more “deliberate” gameplay in that sense. However, following a viral campaign to have the changes they made reversed, which included criticisms from Tyler ‘Ninja Blevins, Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani, and many more streamers, they finally obliged and Tfue – at least from his tweets – seems delighted by the move. Whether or not Epic intends to make further changes to the mechanic in the future remains to be seen, but if they do, console players will be at the ready to get one over on Tfur – that’s for sure.

Tfue reveals new NFT auctions with “NFTfue” collection – Dexerto
Tfue reveals new NFT auctions with “NFTfue” collection NFTfueTwitch streamer Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney is the latest to get in on the NFT craze by announcing his own collection of virtual items going up for sale in April. Chances are if you’ve been on Twitter over the last month you’ve seen at least someone talking about or mention NFTs or Non-Fungible Tokens. What are NFTs? Basically, they’re units of data on a digital ledger called a blockchain, where each NFT can represent a unique digital item, such as a piece of art. This unit of data, in theory, means you’re now able to own a unique piece of limited-run art completely online. Sure others might be able to save a picture of it or screen record the piece, but having an NFT means you own a bona-fide orginal from the artist themselves. The craze has taken off in recent months, with everyone from Lindsay Lohan to 100 Thieves coming out with their own Tokens, and now Tfue is offering up a collection of his own. https://twitter.com/TTfue/status/1379563512670916610?s=20 We have to hand it to the streamer here for the name of this set, as “NFTfue” is exactly what we’d call it as well. Up for sale will be three animated NFTs, limited to thirty-three editions all digitally signed by Tfue. On top of that, there are three Bobblehead NFTs that “bring Tfue to life” on offer as well. The Bobblehead’s might see the largest bidding wars, as each one will also come with an actual physical version of the Bobblehead shipped to whoever ends up owning each NFT. “I was really hands on with the art direction – wanting to bring a high-level of design to the NFTs that bring characters of me to life,” Tfue said about his NFTs.”I’m excited to be the first in the gaming space to launch, and am excited to see excitement the drop will generate.” The “NFTfue” auction will run for ten days, from April 8 to 18, so there’s really no telling how high the price for each NFT will end up climbing once it’s all done. Like we mentioned there are NFTs out there that have sold for millions of dollars, and Tfue is certainly hoping for things to go in that direction, but in the end it’s all up to the bidders.

Tfue reveals return date to Twitch and YouTube – Dexerto
Tfue reveals return date to Twitch and YouTube Tfue, YouTubeTurner Fortnite play and his dedicated streaming audience – but he took an unexpected break from broadcasting in mid-September, leaving may fans confused. Tenney’s streaming career on Twitch is nothing to sniff at, boasting nearly seven million followers on the platform and standing as the site’s second most-followed creator (aside from Ninja’s now-defunct channel). Despite his massive audience, the Fortnite pro announced a sudden hiatus from streaming on September 12, claiming that he “felt trapped in a negative crawl space” in his mind and that he “wasn’t happy lately” in spite of his success. Returning to Twitch and Youtube October 1st :right_bicep::skin-tone-2: pic.twitter.com/qbda6OMLrr — Tfue (@TTfue) September 26, 2019 That’s not all: the pro celebrated his “jump” back into broadcasting with a special video, where he literally jumped off the side of a bridge after shouting “October 1st” for the camera (although he landed safely in the water below). Needless to say, Tfue’s fans are ecstatic about his comeback, with even fellow Fortnite pro “MoNsTcR” congratulating him on his “Nice little reset.” Tfue’s announcement follows his drama-filled lawsuit against esports giant FaZe Clan, who he accused of placing him under an “oppressive” contract in late May – effectively damaging his relationship with FaZe co-owner Ricky Banks, among other personalities. This, combined with his apparent split from YouTuber Corinna Kopf, may have marked a tipping point for Tenney: but it didn’t hold him back for long, as the Fortnite giant is coming back stronger than ever in less than a week’s time. 600With just five days left until Tfue’s return, fans are waiting with bated breath for one of streaming’s biggest comebacks to date after his sudden break.

Tfue reveals why he loved Fortnite’s map-destroying The End event – Dexerto
Tfue reveals why he loved Fortnite’s map-destroying The End event YouTube: Tfue / Epic GamesFortnite superstar Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney was one of millions that tuned in to watch Epic Games destroy their iconic battle royale map at the end of Season 10 to pave the way for ‘Chapter 2,’ and the Twitch star couldn’t be happier about the change. Tfue’s love of the massively popular battle royale has openly waned over the years, with the streamer most recently taking a planned break from Twitch to re-discover his love for playing games. He’s also never shied away from slamming Fortnite’s flaws. Considering the slippery slope the 21-year-old found himself on regarding how much he was enjoying grinding Fortnite, the massive black hole event, and the major map refresh that it’s brought for the community, potentially could not have come at a better time. Tfue revealed his thoughts on the old map as he watched the black hole event, celebrating the end of Season 10 alongside the rest of the player base and hoping that Season 11/Chapter 2 would bring something new to the table. “Please just blow up the map, this map sucks… f*ck this map. This map sucks,” he said when rockets first started appearing, revealing just how excited he was to see the ten-season map disappear from existence. “Oh shit, the giant buttplug in the sky,” he yelled as the map began to disintegrate around him. “Oh, sh*t. Yo, what? What is happening?” His character was soon flung towards one of the cracks in the sky after his rock was hit by a projectile. “Ooooh, I picked a good spot, didn’t I?” As players around the world soon experienced, the flaming meteor soon struck the center of the Fortnite map, sending players flying into space before the black hole expanded and claimed the environment, the game, and everything relating to Epic’s battle royale title. Segment beings at 3:34 for mobile users. It wasn’t the end for Fortnite, however, as Chapter 2 brought a new map and locations, new weapons, and a host of new skins and cosmetics for players to collect in the new season. Read more: Fortnite v11.00.1 patch notes revealed – For Tfue, the near-complete reset for the battle royale changed everything. The streamer went from taking a break from the game and his time on Twitch, to sharing a simple message as he played through Fortnite’s new age: “I love Fortnite.” While Turner seems to have reignited his passion for Epic’s global sensation, there are others in the streaming community that aren’t so sure Fortnite is going to last forever. Dr Disrespect, who regularly grinds out titles like Apex Legends and PUBG, revealed he believes Fortnite “is going to die” as it continues to slide in player count past it’s “glory days”. While there might be plenty that aren’t big fans of Epic’s event-based shooter, it seems Tfue is back on the bandwagon – at least for the foreseeable future.

Tfue reveals why he “needs” to stream something other than Fortnite – Dexerto
Tfue reveals why he “needs” to stream something other than Fortnite Konkrete/Epic GamesFortnite star Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has claimed that the game is “dying” and has hinted that he could switch over to streaming another game very soon. When it comes to streaming Fortnite on Twitch, Tfue is one of the biggest names. He may not have had the success that he hoped to have at the Fortnite World Cup, but his channel is still the biggest hub for fans of the Epic Games title to congregate at in order to see some jaw-dropping plays. Yet, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows for Tenney. Season X has frustrated him to the point of slamming Epic Games on a number of occasions, which isn’t helped by him being stream sniped on a consistent basis. Combine all those factors together and it seems to be leading to a blow-off point, with Tfue once again turning his crosshairs on to the developers and stating that he needs to finally start thinking about playing something different. During his August 29 stream, where he was battered with a barrage of stream snipers in solo games, the Twitch star said: “Dude, this game is honestly so bad. Like, it’s so fucking terrible. I need to start streaming other games because this game is fucking dying.” After a momentary pause, as he seemed to assess his landing spot, Tfue briefly continued with this anti-Fortnite tirade. “This shit is so garbage,” he added, before setting himself up to begin looting and looking out for enemies on his position. It isn’t exactly the first time that Tfue has come to that realization, though, as back in February he labeled the game as “boring” and “stale,” just as Respawn Entertainment hit the battle royale market with Apex Legends. Unlike many of his fellow content creators, he didn’t make the jump across titles during Apex’s incredible early peak, but the option is still on the table for him – so long as he wants to give up building. Whether or not Tfue will take his insane skills to a different virtual battlefield is up in the air, but it is definitely something to keep an eye on. It looks like a switch it very much on the cards.

Tfue reveals details of how he was robbed twice during Miami trip – Dexerto
Tfue reveals details of how he was robbed twice during Miami trip Instagram: Tfue/UnsplashTwitch star Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has revealed more details about his disastrous trip to Miami where he was robbed twice – losing both his phone and an Audemars Piguet Mens Royal Oak 41MM Steel VS Arabic Dial watch. The Fortnite professional had been in Miami as a part of Super Bowl weekend to take part in the Twitch Rivals Streamer Bowl competition alongside Arizona Cardinals’ quarterback Kyler Murray. The pair had a number of eye-catching performances in the event but failed to capture the overall victory. Yet, once they had wrapped up playing Fortnite, Tfue shocked fans by revealing that he’d been robbed for the first time on January 31st and then once again a day later. While he tweeted that he was ‘fine’ after the first robbery, in which he lost his watch, the Fortnite star gave fans a bit more insight into his wild weekend when he hopped back on stream for a short broadcast. Explaining how he ended up losing the watch, Tfue noted that he was waiting for an Uber when he was approached by three ‘kids’ – with one of them grabbing his shoulder. After a back-and-forth exchange of words, the streamer realized that one had been going for his watch. “He’s got two hands on my watch and he’s just pulling it like with all his force, and I’m like trying to pull my wrist away because I don’t want him to f**king take my watch and all I feel is the clip on the watch just bend and break off,” Tfue said. The streamer added that the ‘kids’ in question quickly fled the scene after they were able to get the watch off his wrist, though he didn’t pursue them seeing as he was pretty drunk. Tfue continued: “Honestly, like, I was so drunk at that moment that I was like ‘f**k it, I don’t even care, I’m not going to chase this kid down, it’s not even worth it’ and like, honestly, it was probably a good thing I was hammered because if I was sober I probably would have chased those kids down and probably been in jail.” As for his phone, Tenney didn’t quite have the blow-by-blow details as he did with the loss of his watch. Instead, while waiting for his Uber, he tried to give his pockets a pat to make sure his wallet and phone were still there but couldn’t feel the phone. “I’m like freaking the f**k out. I’m like call it, he tries calling it. My phone isn’t dead, it goes straight to voicemail. I’m like, I got f**king pickpocketed – that’s the first thing I think,” Tfue said. “Obviously, if I’d lost it, which I doubt I did, I’ll call it and it’ll ring but it went straight to voicemail which means somebody turned it off. So, obviously I knew someone gripped it, turned the phone off and put it in their pocket.” While it’s obviously a terrible experience for the streamer – being robbed not once, but twice – recovering his phone or just getting a new one is somewhat easier than replacing his watch. Whether or not he’ll be able to do so is unknown, but at least he wasn’t too badly shaken up by the experience and could give his fans a bit more insight.

Tfue reveals his biggest source of income – and it’s not Twitch – Dexerto
Tfue reveals his biggest source of income – and it’s not Twitch Twitch: TfueTurner ‘Tfue’ Tenney is one of the biggest names on Twitch, and while he rakes in the cash on the platform, the Fortnite Battle Royale star has revealed that his biggest source of income doesn’t rely on the streaming service whatsoever. Tfue’s status in the streaming community has made him one of the richest players in the world. While there’s no publicly-available statistics, given the furor around him turning down a $140k sponsored Madden stream deal and his massive subscriber count, seven figures a year isn’t out of the realm of possibility. However, Tfue has given a little tidbit about where most of his money comes from. In an interview with Washington Post’s Launcher, the streamer briefly broke down his income from gaming, and Twitch isn’t ranking on top. Tfue mentioned that he earns most of his money from the Epic Support-A-Creator code program. This might come as a surprise to some given his large fan base on Twitch, holding one of the largest subscriber counts on the platform. According to stats site TwitchTracker, Tfue has 16,151 active subscribers on Twitch as of January 14. He is one of the platform’s biggest stars, and although it’s well off his peak of 65,633 this time last year, 16,000 is no small number. Twitch takes a hefty cut of subscriptions, up to 50%, but for larger content creators like Tfue it’s usually a 70-30 split. However, even after accounting for that, Tfue is still making a minimum of $40,000 off the platform alone. That’s excluding donations, larger tier-two and tier-three subscribers, and sponsored streams, which will prop up his Twitch income substantially. So, for Tfue to be making more through the Support-A-Creator code program, it shows how much pull he has in the Fortnite community. Epic’s revenue-sharing model splits $5 for every 10,000 V-Bucks “spent by players who elect to support them in-game.” That means to be getting up to $40,000 each month through the code, a whopping 80 million V-Bucks would have to be passing through the service with Tfue’s name attached to it. Given $80 gets you around 10,000 V-Bucks, Tfue’s code alone is worth over $640,000 to Epic each month, by this estimate. This is also excluding any deal Tfue has behind the scenes with Fortnite’s creators that could give him a larger chunk of the pie, so it’s likely the figure is much larger. Tfue has also earned money from other sources, like YouTube ad revenue, and over $600,000 in prize money in Fortnite. He’s not under an exclusivity contract like other streamers though, and regularly turns down brand deals for his stream. Tfue’s income has been the source of controversy in 2019, with the Twitch star parting ways with old organization FaZe Clan over money. His contract allegedly contained a clause where FaZe could take up to 80% of his income, with the two parties still embroiled in a lawsuit over it. In the same interview, Tfue addressed claims the team only made $60,000 off him. He disputed the number, saying “I know for sure they made a lot more money off me,” which can be either by taking larger cuts, or by promotion for the brand. Although he has a cool $80,000 minimum going into the bank every month between Twitch, Epic, and other services, Tfue spends it wisely. He’s bought a warehouse near his family home in Florida to run a streaming bootcamp studio with brother Jack, and he also owns his own home. While the success lasts, he’s making smart decisions to ensure his future, and putting that massive income to good use.

Tfue reveals bizarre strip club experience with Corinna Kopf – Dexerto
Tfue reveals bizarre strip club experience with Corinna Kopf Professional Fortnite player and streamer Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has revealed one of his weirdest stories with ex-girlfriend Corinna Kopf, revolving around an experience at a strip club. Tfue has been one of the biggest names in Fortnite for the last couple of years, often regarded as one of the greatest players to touch the game. He and fellow content creator Corinna broke up in July following a few months of dating, but now appear to be back on good terms with each other, even streaming together occasionally. While playing Fortnite together on stream, the two debated who should tell the story of what went down at a strip club they visited for Tfue’s best friend’s birthday, eventually deciding it should be Turner’s to tell. While they decided Tfue should tell the story, he struggled to put it all eloquently, getting through the story at a slow pace and with a number of interruptions from Kopf, who was clearly getting frustrated with Tfue’s inability to give the story justice. He eventually decided to retell a shortened version of the entire story, saying: “So we get to this strip club and there’s a 30-year-old woman, and she just starts spraying her t***y milk everywhere.” The long version of the story was that it was Tfue’s best friend’s 21st birthday, a reasonable cause for celebration. Corinna made the decision that they should head to a “gentleman’s club” and, while there, someone announced that one of Tfue’s friends was a virgin (though he suggested this may not be true). This, Tfue says, enticed the dancers, who started paying said friend a lot more attention following the announcement, including one who appeared to be around 30 and, as they soon found out, was lactating. This dancer decided to spray her nutrients in the face of Tfue’s friend, despite initial fears of “scarring him forever.” Tfue later admitted that he was kind of ‘jealous’ of his friend getting such an experience. This is perhaps one of the more bizarre stories we’ve heard Tfue – or any streamer, for that matter – tell on stream. Nonetheless, it doesn’t seem to have scarred him too much. The Fortnite star has been enjoying a lot of success and high placements with his squad for this season’s Fortnite Championship Series tournaments.

Tfue responds to pro bodybuilder Greg Doucette claiming he’s “not natural” – Dexerto
Tfue responds to pro bodybuilder Greg Doucette claiming he’s “not natural” Hollywood Fix / Greg DoucetteFortnite star Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has fired back at popular bodybuilder Greg Doucette, who suggested he’s using performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) after he shared photos of his workout progress on Instagram. Tfue has built a massive fan base online since his rise to the top of Fortnite, with over 8.5 million followers on Twitch. However, after he shared an update showcasing his recent physical transformation, some were skeptical of how impressive his results were after just six months. Among the critics was IFBB bodybuilder and fitness coach Greg Doucette, a respected figure in the fitness industry, who highlighted Tenney in his “Natty or Not” series using his ‘before and after’ pics to analyze his progress. https://www.instagram.com/p/CB0rBOnnnH-/ After explaining how difficult such a transformation is to achieve, while taking some lighthearted jabs at Tfue during the process, Doucette later claimed that it would be almost impossible to gain the muscle mass naturally and said it’s highly likely that he’s on PEDs such as steroids. ”I am saying that I would bet my life or your life, I would bet all lives on this planet against one dollar that he is not natural,” he added. Doucette reiterated on a number of occasions that the transformation is extremely impressive and stated that Tfue has amazing genetics. However, the bodybuilding veteran stated that such improvements would take most people many years to achieve naturally. The YouTuber’s criticism prompted a response from Tfue, who reacted to the video during his June 24 broadcast and fired back at Doucette, claiming he only calls people out for a response. “I feel like he just calls people out, deep down he knows that I didn’t take steroids to get where I am,” Tfue explained, “but I feel he just says it to try to get me pissed and make a video back. I feel like he’s doing this for publicity.” Tfue also added that Doucette shared few details on why he thought the Fortnite star was using steroids. The Twitch streamer later claimed that there was one simple reason for his rapid muscle growth. While many gyms have been closed around the world, with different lockdown measures in place during recent months, Tfue says that the key to getting jacked so quickly his own fully-kitted home gym. “They don’t want to believe that I got this big naturally because the quarantine was going on and nobody had a gym,” he said. “Meanwhile I have a full private gym that I spent like $100,000 on just for me and my friends to workout in.” Tfue later compared his progress to PewDiePie, whose body transformation was also referenced in the video. The Twitch streamer and claimed that it was unfair to compare him to the incredibly popular YouTuber because Swedish star’s gym had much less to work with.

FaZe Clan’s Tfue returns to streaming and gives an update on his neck injury – Dexerto
FaZe Clan’s Tfue returns to streaming and gives an update on his neck injury Tfue, YouTubeFaZe Clan’s Tfue has given fans another update on his chronic neck issues. Fortnite megastar Tfue has been keeping his fans and viewers up to date with news on his neck issue in recent weeks. After a visit to the emergency room on March 20, the streamer shared another update on his condition with fans. I’m currently in the emergency room I’ll keep you guys posted :triumph: — Tfue (@TTfue) March 20, 2019 Tfue showed a pretty large bump on his neck during a stream on March 18 and later revealed he was taking antibiotics for it. He explained it was probably from streaming too much, but doctors didn’t have a clear idea of what it could be or what could be causing the lump. On March 19, he gave his first update by tweeting out his neck was still swollen despite the antibiotics he had been prescribed. “Over 48 hours on antibiotics and my neck is still swollen,” he wrote. “I’m going to see a specialist tomorrow.” During a stream on March 21, he explained that even though he went to the ER, doctors still weren’t able to pinpoint what the problem could be. “I don’t know, I don’t know yet,” Tfue said on stream. “I went into the ER but they CT scanned me and couldn’t tell me what it was so I have to go see another doctor.” Tfue’s neck issues are obviously still ongoing, so we’ll sure you keep you posted with updates as they become available. In the meantime, it looks like Tfue will keep to streaming as he waits for more info himself.

Tfue responds to Instagram after his pictures are deleted for “bullying” – Dexerto
Tfue responds to Instagram after his pictures are deleted for “bullying” Tfue, Instagram / Freepik.com, InstagramTwitch streamer and Fortnite pro Turner “Tfue” Tenney is hitting back at popular social media platform Instagram after several of his photos were suddenly removed from the site. Tenney, best known for his Fortnite prowess and hugely popular live streams, boasts a massive following on Instagram, racking up over 5.6 million followers alongside his impressive 7.5 million Twitch fans. However, it looks like the esports star isn’t immune to Instagram’s occasional oddities, with one of the pro’s photos being mysteriously removed on February 11. A screenshot provided by Tfue shows a message from the platform that states one of his recent posts was removed for allegedly breaking their guidelines against “bullying and harassment.” Since the post has been removed, the photo’s caption is nowhere to be found — but the gamer joked that the picture, which showed him dressed in a pair of overalls with one strap unclasped, was an “onlyfans tease,” poking fun at his exposed skin. As the platform didn’t cite inappropriate content as the reason for his post’s removal, the deletion comes as a confusing development for both Tfue and fans, alike. However, the esports star isn’t letting this sudden development bring him down, as evidenced by his hilarious reply to Instagram’s message. Rather than angrily lashing out at the site, he instead posted the deleted photos to Twitter, writing, “Since Instagram deleted this, hi Twitter.” https://twitter.com/TTfue/status/1227638734113427456?s=20 Posing in an expensive looking entryway with a pickaxe in hand, Tfue’s new look hardly warrants “bullying and harassment” — a sentiment that other top names in the online entertainment space have also expressed. Drama Alert’s Daniel “KEEMSTAR” Keem called out Instagram in a pointed Tweet, asking that the site “fix” the issue straight away. Yo @instagram some flag bot is flagging all of @TTfue ‘s content for bullying & harassment. You need to fix this. #DramaAlert pic.twitter.com/DDZPlLoRt1 — KEEM 🍿 (@KEEMSTAR) February 12, 2020 Others echoed this demand, while some theorized that a “report bot” could be behind the sudden deletion, with a rogue user falsely reporting Tfue’s account in an effort to bring it down. Hahah welcome to my world of pain. It’s called a report bot some guy is giving them away for free and now everyone’s account is at risk. My 400k page got taken down yesterday — CloutGodAlex (@thecloutgodalex) February 12, 2020 Whatever the case may be, Tfue is keeping his head held high in spite of the baffling removal — and he’s not afraid to work his fierce new look for the camera, either.

Tfue reacts to viral TikTok claiming to be him fighting a stream sniper – Dexerto
Tfue reacts to viral TikTok claiming to be him fighting a stream sniper Fortnite star Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney was shocked after discovering a TikTok video that went viral after falsely claiming to be a video of him. Tfue has built a massive online presence from broadcasting Fortnite to his fans, amassing over 7 million followers on his Twitch channel and over 11 million on YouTube. However, the popular streamer was left confused after realizing that a TikTok clip of “him” (actually just someone that barely resembles him) had gone viral for some reason. The video captured a confrontation between two young men, and because the aggressor loosely resembled the Fortnite star, the user who posted it claimed that it was, in fact, Tfue confronting one of his “stream snipers”. “Tfue confronting stream sniper that sniped him for six months,” read one of the TikTok captions, while the supposed ‘lookalike’ began to hurl insults push the other kid around in the video. “He made the stream sniper apologize, Twitch might ban him,” claimed the others, suggesting that the video was likely posted in an attempt to troll Tfue and get him in trouble with his broadcasting platform. https://twitter.com/TTfue/status/1211004545331015680 Tfue posted the viral clip to his Twitter, simply asking his fans what the video was, confused at why someone had claimed that he was the one involved in the fight. Many Tfue fans would be able to instantly tell the difference between the apparent bully in the video and one of their favorite streamers. However, the viral clip did manage to convince some people initially, which is likely what caused Tfue to address the TikTok upload. Tfue has been known for calling out many of his stream snipers in the past, however, unlike the video claims, the Fortnite star has certainly never tried to confront anyone in person.

Tfue responds amid Ninja Fortnite feud: “He’s always hated me” – Dexerto
Tfue responds amid Ninja Fortnite feud: “He’s always hated me” Epic Games/Mixer: NinjaFortnite professional Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has claimed that streaming rival Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins has “always hated” him but he doesn’t “really care” about the beef. Tfue and Ninja have had a storied history that stretches back before they did battle in Fortnite or on Twitch. The pair started their rivalry out as H1Z1 players, with Blevins having plenty more success than Tenney and getting into streaming on the ground floor with Twitch. As the years have unfolded, they’ve gone head-to-head in Fortnite on numerous occasions – with each of them coming out as the winner on different occasions even though they both got a spicy YouTube video title out of it. Most recently, they’ve even thrown down on Twitter in disputes about the battle royale’s future. 600Yet, unlike some other rivalries, they’ve never quite taken personal shots at each other – even though, as Tfue claims, there has always between a difference between the pair. During his October 3 stream, the popular Fortnite professional had been playing some Zone Wars matches when his attention turned to the drama between himself and Ninja. As he watched two other players battle for the victory, he opened up about their long-time rivalry. “Ninja has hated me forever. No matter how nice I am to the kid, he’s always hated me,” stated Tfue. “So, I don’t really know what to tell you guys but I don’t really care.” While it has been suspected by some fans that the pair don’t get on, it’s the first time that either of them has actually admitted it and not just made sneaky references to it during a stream. Whether or not they’ll settle their differences in the future remains to be seen, but at least, for now, they appear to be quite far apart from that coming together point that some fans might actually want to see. Tfue actually took a lengthy break from streaming and YouTube in September, partly due to his grievances with Fortnite itself, and when he returned was just as critical of the game. Ninja, on the other hand, has perhaps tried to be more measured in his feedback about the game which helped him become so popular, but it’s unclear if his rift with Tenney goes beyond just their opinions on gaming.

Tfue racks up insane Twitch gifted sub train during Minecraft speedrun – Dexerto
Tfue racks up insane Twitch gifted sub train during Minecraft speedrun Twitch: Tfue/MojangWhile streaming Minecraft on Twitch, Turner “Tfue” Tenney recieved over 1,000 gifted subs in a row with over 700 of them coming from a single generous viewer. Every Twitch viewer has a favorite content creator that they tune into regularly and support. However, some fans take it to another level and gift a massive amount of money to their favorite streamers. This can be great content for the live viewers as no one is expecting it to happen. Although most of the time this support comes in the form of a big donation, some viewers prefer to hand out gifted subs. Well, while Tfue was streaming Minecraft speedrunning, he gained over 1,000 subscribers in a row. It’s fair to say he was pretty shocked by the support as most of it came from a single viewer. Tfue receives over 1,000 subs in a row streaming Minecraft Twitch personality Tfue received a massive sub-train donation from his viewers while streaming Minecraft speedrunning. The nonstop gifted subs clearly took him by surprise and he was visibly shocked about how large the sub train was getting. Read More: Pokimane exposes gross Twitch messages from banned fans “Are you serious? Dude, I’m not thanking them bro I’m banning them, dude, bro how many subs is this? Bro, this is like 1000 gifted sub train right now.” At the end of his stream, Tfue realized that one of his viewers gifted over 736 subs. To put it into perspective, that’s $3672.64 total, so it’s fair to say Tfue cashed in from that Minecraft session. It was obvious he was astounded that a single viewer had gifted that many subs and even asked why before finishing the stream. “Thank you guys for all the subs, TryMe you a f***ing Psychopath, thank you for the 736 subs, what, what, why?” Although Tfue is a massive name in the Twitch community, it’s still unbelievable to see this many subs in a single stream. There’s no doubt that the overwhelming support made impression on him as he even took to Twitter after finishing the stream to show how unexpected it all was. If the sub train is anything to go by, it’s safe to say Tfue’s audience loved the Minecraft speed-running content so there’s no doubt he’ll be streaming a lot more of it over the coming weeks.

Tfue has hilarious reaction to TSM Myth’s Chipotle advert – Dexerto
Tfue has hilarious reaction to TSM Myth’s Chipotle advert Twitch: Tfue/Instagram: MythPopular Twitch streamer Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney had a hilarious reaction as Twitch bombarded him with adverts, including one for Chipotle featuring fellow streamer Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani. Despite being embroiled in an infamous lawsuit against former organization FaZe Clan, Tfue has quickly re-adjusted to normal service on his streams, as he broadcasts from FaZe Cloak’s house, where he currently resides. While streaming on June 8, he lost his cool with Twitch ads after he was inundated with them, including TSM Myth’s well-known Chipotle advert. Myth is known as one of the earliest innovators to Fortnite Battle Royale, and one of the first professional players, utilizing building on an impressive level. Since then, he has become one of the biggest streamers on Twitch, with over 5,000,000 followers. This fame led to him being used by Mexican food chain Chipotle for an advert and, on June 8, Tfue mocked his fellow pro player after the ad appeared. Tfue was scrolling through the Twitch page for Epic Games’ BR, when Myth suddenly appeared in the Chipotle ad. “Bro what the fuck!” exclaimed Tenney. “Myth get off of my screen dawg. Go fuck yourself, buddy! Shit, you’re lucky I’m not signed into my [Twitch Turbo] account.” He then was shown another advert, this time featuring NBA player Gordon Hayward, which caused him to laugh even more: “Dude what the fuck man. I’m about to sign into my account this is bullshit.” Tfue explains that he has a ‘Turbo’ account on Twitch, which grants him ad-free viewing, but wasn’t logged in, so was being bombarded with commercials. Both Tfue and Myth will be participating in the World Cup Qualifiers, as they head into their final weeks, and could face off in the finals in July, should they both secure a spot.

Tfue pulls hilarious prank on new housemate Cloak – Dexerto
Tfue pulls hilarious prank on new housemate Cloak Corinna Kopf, YouTubeMassively popular Fortnite Battle Royale pro Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney is parting ways with esports organization FaZe Clan, moving in with his Duos partner Dennis ‘Cloak’ Lepore – who he is already antagonizing in a hilarious way. Both Tfue and his girlfriend, vlogger Corinna Kopf, were on the way to Cloak’s house in New Jersey when to pair decided to pull a massive prank on him ahead of their arrival. Corinna encouraged Tfue to call Lepore and feign distress, fibbing that they had actually gone to the wrong address – a location similar to Cloak’s own address that he’d specifically asked them to avoid, as it all the way over in Brooklyn, New York. Tfue is set to move in with his Fortnite Battle Royale Duos partner, Cloak – marking a major jump in his competitive lifestyle. “Yo, dude,” Tfue said on their Facetime call. “I think we accidentally went to the wrong address.” “What do you mean?” Cloak asked. “Don’t tell me you went to the Brooklyn one. …are you shitting me?” Corinna quickly quashed the prank by asking Cloak to come outside and get their bags, prompting a swift end to their Facetime conversation. [Timestamp: 8:22 for mobile viewers] That wasn’t the only hilarity in Corinna’s vlog, by far; she went on to perform some DIY cup therapy on Tfue’s back, resulting in a humorous segment where Tfue admitted that he couldn’t even break wind for fear of hurting his back during the process. Tfue’s move to New Jersey follows his lawsuit against FaZe Clan over his “oppressive” contract, which saw massive splits in favor of the org for brand deals, appearance fees, and in-game merchandise. While FaZe claimed that they never acted on the clauses laid out in this section of Tfue’s contract, which denotes major splits in favor of the organization. Following Tfue’s lawsuit, FaZe Clan CEO Lee Trink claimed that the gaming pro was hoping to ultimately end his relationship with FaZe in favor of creating his own esports team, despite presenting him with multiple other options in light of his initial contract. However, Tfue vehemently denied this theory, stating that he was “too stupid” to run his own team during an episode of the ‘Konkrete’ podcast on May 30. [Timestamp: 24:40 for mobile viewers] Tfue has since decided to room with Cloak in light of the drama, who has even taken shots at the organization, using the username ‘80percent’ in a game of Battalion 1944. The players have even begun a petition to delay the Fortnite Battle Royale World Cup Qualifier – a petition that Epic has finally agreed to, following ample community backlash due to the Qualifier overlapping with the E3 Celebrity Pro-Am.

Tfue pokes fun at Ninja’s Fortnite stream sniping controversy – Dexerto
Tfue pokes fun at Ninja’s Fortnite stream sniping controversy Popular streamer and FaZe Clan player Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney re-enacted Ninja’s now infamous line, telling an opponent to “leave now and I won’t report you,” during the stream sniping clip that stirred serious controversy. Ninja, real name Tyler Blevins, found himself at the center of major backlash from the Fortnite community after he wrongfully reported a player for ‘stream sniping’ him. After doing so, he proceeded to badger the player, saying “If you leave this game right now, I will not report you.” The clip quickly went viral, as Fortnite fans piled on the hate to Ninja, who later apologized and admitted it was a mistake, and that he had had a few drinks that night. Unfortunately, his words will likely now forever be a meme, first impersonated by fellow streamer TimTheTatman, and now Tfue too. During a stream on November 20, Tfue was playing in scrims against his viewers, when enemy players continued to chase him (presumably watching on stream), and so responds “if you leave the game right now, I won’t ban you from my discord.” Other streamers have also mocked Ninja’s infamous words, such as AmericanDad, going as far to make a whole skit of him leaving the country on a plane, after being told to “leave right now” by Ninja. As Ninja commented in an interview with KEEMSTAR, he knows the hate will “never go away”, saying the damage was done. Many other streamers in the community stood up to defend Ninja however, after a second accusation of him falsely reporting a player to get them banned turned out to be a fabrication.

Tfue pretends to be Ninja after paying girls to play Fortnite with him – Dexerto
Tfue pretends to be Ninja after paying girls to play Fortnite with him Instagram: Tfue / Mixer: NinjaPopular Fortnite player Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney paid several girls to play Fortnite with him before finally revealing who he was – except, he said he was Mixer star Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins. Tfue isn’t one to shy away from weird scenarios or put himself out there, so it’s not entirely surprising that he found a website where he could “order” girls to play with him for a fee, but before long he had around five different girls joining his lobby, completely unaware of who he was. He did some box fights with them and, to their credit, they got the better of him on several occasions, but when it was finally time to finish he wanted to break the news to them. With both chat and his friends sat behind him saying he should reveal himself, Tfue finally bit the bullet and did it – kind of. “Actually, before you leave… I was just f**king with you guys,” he told them. “I’m actually Ninja,” he finished before muting himself and bursting into laughter. Believing him, naturally, the girls he was playing with lost their minds, with one of them even saying “Oh my god Ninja, I have the biggest crush on you!” before apologizing to Ninja’s actual wife, Jessica. He then decided to make a joke at his rival’s expense, asking them to subscribe to his Mixer channel because “views are low right now,” which they didn’t seem too keen on doing. Earlier in the stream, he was nearly caught out as one of them told him he “sounds like Tfue,” but he got out of it by pretending not to know who Tfue is. He mentions that he “only watches Ninja,” which probably helped sell the idea to them that he actually was the former Halo professional, but it would seem the girl had somewhat of an inkling that he might not have been entirely honest. By now, the girls might have found out that they were being trolled, but they may not care too much – there are not many people who can say they’ve played with one of the biggest stars in gaming.

Tfue set to overtake shroud as second most popular streamer – Dexerto
Tfue set to overtake shroud as second most popular streamer Turner ‘Fortnite has skyrocketed many Twitch careers and you can certainly add Tfue to that list. While he did have a following before Fortnite, he definitely grew exponentially thanks to his top-tier play in the Epic Games battle royale. Nearly two years later, that growth hasn’t stopped and he’s on the cusp of surpassing shroud as the second most followed Twitch channel. This is no small task as shroud is essentially one of the ‘legacy’ Twitch channels, and has been around since the early days of the platform. At the time of writing, Tfue is sitting at 6,450,288 followers while shroud has 6,578,357. Both streamers are incredibly popular and each gain followers every time they stream, but Tfue’s growth is currently faster than shroud’s. This is likely due to Tfue consistently being at the top of the Fortnite directory while shroud plays a variety of different things. Read More: Fortnite: How to complete “Search Unicorn floaties at swimming holes” 14 Days of Summer challenge – If Tfue does catch shroud, it will still be a very long time before he’s able to catch Tyler ‘Ninja‘ Blevins, who is sitting at over 14 million followers, and still grows daily. When could the leap happen? If the trend continues, we could see Tfue surpass shroud as early as July, provided shroud doesn’t begin a meteoric rise at the same time. Tfue is the fastest growing channel in the past 30 days and part of the reason may be due to all the extra eyes on him as a result of the FaZe lawsuit. That lawsuit, complete with all the drama, is still ongoing and we’ll keep you updated with the information as it unfolds.

How many Twitch subscribers does Tfue have? FaZe member overtakes Ninja and Summit1g after hitting major milestone – Dexerto
How many Twitch subscribers does Tfue have? FaZe member overtakes Ninja and Summit1g after hitting major milestone Ninja, Twitch / FaZe Clan, Twitter / Summit1g, TwitchTurner ‘Tfue’ Tenney may have surpassed both Summit1g and Ninja’s total number of Twitch subscribers, according to statistics he has posted online. The FaZe Clan member has seemingly put rumors about his ‘fake’ subscriber count to bed after he revealed that he had a total of 53,523 subscribers on the online streaming platform, at the time of writing. He tweeted: “For the people saying my sub count is fake” on January 16, along with a crying emoji to announce his accomplishment. For the people saying my sub count is fake :hopeful: pic.twitter.com/IHew7jUQ0d — Tfue (@TTfue) January 16, 2019 Tfue has earned more prize money than any other Twitch streamer after a successful 2018 playing competitive Fortnite, with first place finishes at the Korea Open 2018 Duo Finals alongside KittyPlays and the Fall Skirmish – Week 6 at Twitchcon, just to name a few. He was recently accused of hacking by Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins, after wiping out not only him but his entire team in a hilarious moment. This news comes just a day after Ninja was reportedly leapfrogged at the top of Twitch, according to Twitch Stats, with former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive streamer Summit1g seemingly overtaking the popular internet personality after reaching the elusive 40,000 mark on January 15. Summit has been breaking the mold for quite some time now, by streaming Microsoft Studios’ Sea of Thieves game as opposed to Fortnite – proving that not only Fortnite streamers dominate the streaming platform right now. Ninja has been quite public about his feelings towards people looking for the next big thing on Twitch of late, seemingly upset by the current situation – having boasted over 200,000 subs in the past. Responding to a message in his chat on stream, he said: “The only thing that is frustrating is that when you were the number one streamer – and still are, [both for] followers and when I’m actually streaming full-time – everyone is just out to look for the next guy now. At least, streaming wise. It’s really annoying.” Twitch Stats still shows Tfue as having 36,944 subscribers at the time of writing, but his own statistics seem to be very different from that figure. For those that aren’t aware, Twitch subscriber counts are not publicly available information. It is, therefore, the choice of the streamer to reveal those figures or not. For what it’s worth, it looks as though summit has confirmed that Tfue’s number is indeed higher than his with a Tweet in reply to YouTuber Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem’s question about who had the most.

Tfue and OpTic CoD pros top Twitter’s most popular list in esports and gaming – Dexerto
Tfue and OpTic CoD pros top Twitter’s most popular list in esports and gaming MLG / TfueTwitter revealed that Fortnite player Turner ‘Tfue‘ Tenney and Call of Duty pro Seth ‘Scump‘ Abner are among the most talked about esports athletes on the platform, but some other names might surprise you. Streamers and esports athletes are effectively in the mainstream in 2019 and just under halfway through the year we now have an idea about who gets talked about most on social media. With Fortnite being as popular as it is, it’s no surprise to see many of the top players among the most mentioned. Fortnite Battle Royale personalities pave the way Names like Ninja, TimTheTatman, DrLupo and CourageJD are among the most talked about gaming personalities and lot of it has to do with the fact they attract thousands of viewers on Fortnite Battle Royale each time they go live. For example, big streamers like Dr Disrespect, shroud and Summit1g are conspicuously missing from the list, despite being some of the biggest streamers on Twitch, where they rival their streaming counterparts, but apparently not so much on Twitter. And last but not least, here are the most talked about gaming personalities in 2019 so far:@PewDiePie@MrBeastYT@Ninja@Rubiu5@Jack_Septic_Eye@CourageJD@TimTheTatMan@DrLupo@Markiplier@Nadeshot — Rishi Chadha (@RdotChadha) May 7, 2019 PewDiePie and MrBeast are unsurprisingly found near the top of the list, since they are two of the biggest YouTubers on the site, although their connection to gaming is little more tangential. On the esports side of things the list is a little clearer. We have Tfue and Myth leading, and a number of Call of Duty players like Scump and Clayster also making the cut. Team Liquid’s HungryBox is on the list, perhaps boosted due to the crab incident following a Smash Bros. tournament last month. He is joined on the list by TSM’s Leffen. OpTic Call of Duty pros Crimsix, Dashy and Scumper also make the list due to being members of one of the most popular CoD esports teams. There’s still a lot of the year left to go and anyone could blow up between now and then so it’s entirely possible this list could look a lot different later on. We’ll check back in at the end of the year and see where we’re at. Barring some unforeseen game coming out allowing a player to explode in popularity, we imagine it’ll just be a reordering of the current list.

Tfue opens up about Corinna Kopf breakup with emotional tweets – Dexerto
Tfue opens up about Corinna Kopf breakup with emotional tweets Hollywood Fix, YouTube / Corinna Kopf, InstagramTwitch superstar and Fortnite pro Turner “Tfue” Tenney has parted ways with fellow streamer Corinna Kopf once again and he’s opened up about their breakup in a few emotional tweets that have sparked concern from fans. Tfue and Corinna, also an avid YouTuber, initially got together in 2018 following a slew of rumors that the two had been seen in each other’s company at parties before breaking making their relationship public via Instagram. However, the two split up a few months later, with Kopf appearing to cite difficulties with long-distance as the reason for their parting. It seems that absence makes the heart grow fonder, though, as the two got back together again shortly thereafter (although things were still a bit confusing regarding their official relationship status). Now, the pair have officially called things off yet again, with Tfue confirming their second breakup during a live stream on February 1, followed by a string of emotional tweets days later. He followed up his concerning post with another, which read, “Sometimes you give someone everything, and it’s still not enough.” Among the fan responses came a surprising reply from FaZe co-founder Ricky Banks, who appeared to express solidarity with Tfue in wake of their feud from the fallout of his FaZe Clan exodus. “Let’s just all go back to how things were,” he wrote, seeming to allude to the early days of Tfue’s stint with FaZe. While it’s unclear what Tfue meant by, “Sometimes you give someone everything,” he did clarify that the reason for their second split was, once again, distance issues. He claimed that Kopf didn’t want to live in Florida and he didn’t want to stay in Los Angeles. “I just don’t want to live in LA and she doesn’t want to live in Florida,” he explained. “She tried to live with me but you know, you can’t just move somewhere and it be okay – you’re leaving all your friends, you don’t have any friends. I mean, I have friends in LA, but it’s different.” Despite their friendly parting, it doesn’t seem like Tfue is completely over his latest breakup, although his fanbase is at the ready with ample support in the meantime.

Tfue meets his match during first ever Minecraft stream – Dexerto
Tfue meets his match during first ever Minecraft stream Twitch: Tfue / MojangFortnite superstar Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney decided to try his hand at Minecraft for the first time on August 31, but he met his match when he encountered a formidable foe he couldn’t get away from. Tfue is currently the most followed channel on Twitch, after Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins recently left for Mixer, passing Michael ‘shroud’ Grzesiek on August 28. The skilled Fortnite star traded in one pickaxe for another, and joined the Minecraft craze, but during his first stream of the popular sandbox game, he finally met his match. Tfue’s first Minecraft stream After a string of controversies with Fortnite Season X involving overpowered items and mechs that drastically changed the meta for the competitive scene, Tfue took a break from the battle royale and jumped into Minecraft. During his first stream of the sandbox game, the streamer came across some zombie enemies before realizing all was not as it seemed – as what was supposed to be a simple encounter turned into a battle for survival. While streaming with his friend Dennis ‘Cloak’ Lepore, his partner was jumped by a zombie who fell into the hole with him. “Zombie’s on fire, dude!” Tfue said, before realizing that there was another foe waiting for him on land. “Oh shit! It’s a little zombie yo, oh shit!” he screamed as a mini zombie attacked him from out of nowhere. Before the Fortnite star could retaliate, his health was quickly taken down by the tiny enemy, leaving him to retreat. “Dude he’s fucking me up! That little guy is fuckin’ nasty. I’m cranking, ah shit!” Tfue exclaimed, as he sprinted away to safety. Tfue got attacked The Twitch star seeked refuge in a dig site, and was hiding underground to escape his mini attacker. His safety didn’t last long, as the sound of the foe got louder. Suddenly the tiny Zombie hurled itself into the pit with him while on fire. “Ah shit! Oh shit! Ahhhh!” the Fortnite pro screamed, as he tried to build a wall to block his attacker, but accidentally boxed himself in with the mini-sized enemy. Screaming and failing, he eventually was able to take it down, ending the tense situation. “Alright, I think I’m good!” While Tfue is used to destroying his foes in Fortnite, it looks like he finally met his match in Minecraft. He is currently the top streamer on Twitch with over 6.92 followers as of August 31.

Tfue mocks BadBunny’s viral subscriber outburst with his own version – Dexerto
Tfue mocks BadBunny’s viral subscriber outburst with his own version Twitch: Tfue / BadBunnyTurner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has become the latest major streamer to mock the now-viral incident of BadBunny berating viewers for not subscribing or donating to her channel during a broadcast. When BadBunny told her viewers that she was “heartbroken” about the lack of subscribers she was getting, it couldn’t have been predicted to turn into the controversy it did. After streaming for an hour on January 20, the Twitch streamer clocked that not a single viewer had hit the subscribe button, nor had they donated, asking: “Am I f**king working for free?” The clips soon spread on social media, as debate sparked around what level of asking for subs and donations is acceptable. Some argued that BadBunny was acting entitled, while others argue the backlash was an overreaction, and that it’s common for streamers to ask for support. Nonetheless, some of the biggest names on the platform have chimed in, first Dr Disrespect, and now Tfue. On his January 21 broadcast, he mocked BadBunny with his own imitation of her complaints. “I’ve been streaming 40 f**king hours a day, and you guys are not giving me five f**king dollars!” he joked, “I’m teaching you how to play the game, teaching you how to play controller, and you guys aren’t even giving me your money?! I’m literally heartbroken.” “This is a wall of non-subs – I’m f**king pissed,” he continued, referencing BadBunny’s similar comment. “I’m ending my stream right now if you guys don’t sub in the next five seconds.” Unlike BadBunny, Tfue’s rant actually did result in a handful of subscriptions, as some of his fans even gifted multiple subs to other viewers. Of course, Tfue doesn’t need to ask to maintain a healthy sub count, which is often in the tens of thousands at any given time. For smaller streamers, it can be challenging to ensure that the time spent broadcasting on Twitch is compensated financially. For some, it is their full-time income, and it’s understandable that prompting viewers to contribute may be necessary. One fellow streamer even argued that the backlash towards BadBunny was due to sexism, claiming male streamers are not criticized for doing the same. There has been instances of male streamers facing criticism for their attempts to encourage viewers to give money.

Tfue pickpocketed again while in Miami for Fortnite Streamer Bowl weekend – Dexerto
Tfue pickpocketed again while in Miami for Fortnite Streamer Bowl weekend IG: Tfue / Twitch: TfueThe long weekend for the popular Fortnite streamer Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney continues as he announced in a February 1 Twitter post that his phone had been pickpocketed while in a nightclub the night prior. Tfue, along with a plethora of other Twitch stars and NFL players, participated in the Twitch Rivals Fortnite Streamer bowl this weekend during Super Bowl weekend in Miami, Florida. On Saturday, the former FaZe Clan player tweeted out that while at a Miami nightclub on Friday evening, his phone had been pickpocketed from him – but he didn’t include any details about the incident, at the time. Prior to this recent pickpocketing, Tfue shared shots of the interior of the nightclub scene to his Instagram story. Fifteen hours later, he shared the update on February 1 that his phone had been lifted, presumably announcing this news from a new phone. Responses poured in from numerous other streamers and Fortnite players like TimTheTatman, Jack ‘CouRage’ Dunlop, and benjyfishy, who expressed utter dismay that something like this had happened to Tfue two Miami nights in a row. The night prior, he tweeted out very late in the evening that he had just been robbed of his Royal Oak AP Arabic Dial diamond watch, worth thousands of dollars. According to Tfue, the robbers had run away with the accessory, but he himself was unhurt. He was evidently unharmed in this second incident, as well. Having to pay for a new phone and watch is certainly annoying, as is the process of submitting police reports if he chooses to do so, but there’s comfort in knowing that the Fortnite star wasn’t hurt in either of the two back-to-back thefts. This second incident occurred after Tfue and his Fortnite partner, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, won second place at the Streamer Bowl, winning $80,000 for charity. The Twitch star took tournament MVP honors for his consistently excellent performances throughout the competition. Tfue and Kyler Murray earned 16 eliminations and an average placement of 7.25. The two incidents don’t seem to be affecting Tfue’s plans to stay in Miami for the Super Bowl. He shared on his Instagram a story of Miami Heat basketball player Meyers Leonard showing off a Tfue shirt at his locker room, and more footage from the nightclub of him on stage with NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal and rapper DaBaby.

Tfue loses it over stream snipers targeting him in Fortnite – Dexerto
Tfue loses it over stream snipers targeting him in Fortnite Epic Games/TfueFaZe Clan’s Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney made it clear how frustrating he finds Fortnite stream snipers, in a hilarious moment from his Twitch stream on March 23. Since Epic Games’ third person battle royale exploded in popularity in late 2017, its Twitch viewership has been incredible; setting the record for the most watched Twitch event ever on a single creator’s channel, when over 600,000 viewers tuned in to watch Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins stream with Drake. However, with this incredible Twitch following another issue has become prominent: stream sniping. Epic Games has already added several features to the game in order to combat stream sniping, such as a ‘Streamer Mode’ – which attempts to grant anonymity to streamers so they cannot be deliberately targeted in game. Epic have recently faced calls from prominent community members, such as Ninja, to work on combatting stream sniping and implement measures to make it more difficult. Now, Tfue has voiced his frustration with stream snipers in an amusing Twitch clip, after he was targeted numerous times by opponents. “Oh my god bro,” Tfue starts. “What the fuck are these kids doing? That’s Tfue there he is.” He goes on to mimic machine gun fire and the in-game spamming he receives from players trying to eliminate him. He concludes his rant by saying that stream sniping is “disgusting”, and that “you can’t make this shit up.” Although there is an obvious funny side to Tfue’s rant, it is clear how frustrated he is becoming with the nature and volume of stream snipers in Fortnite, and wants to see changes made soon.

Tfue loses his mind with terrible RNG luck in RuneScape – Dexerto
Tfue loses his mind with terrible RNG luck in RuneScape FaZe Clan star Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney decided to add some variety to his Twitch channel by streaming Old School RuneScape, but ultimately rage quit due to his bad RNG. The Florida native is known as one of the best Fortnite Battle Royale players on the planet, placing second on the list of all-time top earners, with a spot at the upcoming $30m World Cup solo tournament in New York already secured. However, following the release of Season 9, Tfue stated that the game was in “it’s worst state ever” following the controversial reintroduction of the drum gun which has fueled a spray and pray meta in recent weeks. As a result, the 21-year-old decided to switch things up alongside a host of other pro players and hop into Old School RuneScape – a popular online multiplayer game which launched back in February 2013, as an updated version of the original 2001 game. However, Tfue was left fuming after falling victim of the RNG fight system which made him lose a 1v1 battle, immediately rage quitting the game, comparing it to his luck in battle royale games. “Bro, what the fuck, my RNG is so dogshit!” he screamed. “My RNG is so shit on every fucking game I play. I open up a chest on Fortnite, I get hunting rifles, flints, bow and arrows. I hop on this game and I get shit on – it wasn’t even close!” What is RNG? RNG stands for random number generator and refers to a player’s ‘luck’ during a game – the system is commonly used in battle royale games to determine what items a player will receive on the battlefield. Tfue has complained for a long time that his RNG in Fortnite Battle Royale is poor compared to other players, however, he must now refocus on securing a spot at the World Cup duo tournament alongside his partner FaZe Cloak.

Tfue & James Charles reveal what happened on their Valentine’s Day “date” – Dexerto
Tfue & James Charles reveal what happened on their Valentine’s Day “date” L: Tfue R: James CharlesTwitch star Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney ended up going through with his Valentine’s Day plans to go on a date with YouTuber James Charles. Being single on Valentine’s Day is tough, especially for Tfue who is coming off a high-profile breakup with fellow streamer Corinna Kopf. When February 14 rolled around and Tfue found himself on the market, he responded to James Charles’ tweet that asked who his Valentine would be by saying it’d be him. The YouTuber quickly agreed and fans thought that was the end of it. It would be easy to think this was all just a joke, and that the two would never go through with it… But that’s wrong. As it turns out, they actually got together and went on the date. On February 16, the popular Fortnite pro revealed the pair went jet-skiing together on Valentine’s Day. The only terms of the date were it couldn’t be in Los Angeles, so presumably, they met up in Florida since that’s where the Fortnite star lives now following his move from California. Tfue shared a picture of the two with the caption “it never hurts to shoot your shot,” which was proven true here in a big way. We don’t know the full details of their get together, but it definitely looks like the two had a lot of fun together. With that said, it remains unclear if there will end up being a second date. The pair’s fans immediately went wild after seeing this and the reactions quickly poured in. “Legit jealous [right now],” said YouTuber Lazarbeam. He was far from the only big name to say something as reactions from Lil Nas X, TimTheTatman, Benjyfishy, and many, many more came in. If the two do go on another date, it’s looking they’ll have a lot of people rooting for them and excited to see what they do next. We just have to wonder who’ll be the first to shoot their shot next time.

Tfue’s brother JoogSquad encounters couple passed out on Florida highway [VIDEO] – Dexerto
Tfue’s brother JoogSquad encounters couple passed out on Florida highway [VIDEO] JoogSquad, Instagram / TwitterFortnite Battle Royale pro Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney isn’t the only Tenney in town; his brother, Jack ‘JoogSquad’ Tenney also has a substantial internet following, with whom he shared his jaw-dropping encounter on a rainy Florida highway. If you’ve ever seen the wild news stories about “Florida man,” JoogSquad’s encounter comes as an appropriate addition to the genre. JoogSquad posted a video of the incident to Twitter on June 13, where he came upon a couple seemingly passed out in their Chevy Silverado pickup truck in the middle of the highway. 600https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpf1yPGHamT/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkTenney can be seen walking up to the vehicle and asking the driver if he’s alright, as he appears to be unconscious; the driver then lifts up his head at Tenney’s request and drives away, giving viewers a good look at his license plate. It was for that very reason that Tenney had pulled out his phone to record the interaction, explaining that he’d waved down a police officer and “generally did everything I could to get them off the road.” Only in Florida… I can’t make this up, a dude and his girlfriend passed out on drugs in the middle of a busy road… pic.twitter.com/gdwmpeZMLg — Jack Tenney (@JoogSquad) June 13, 2019 “Only in Florida,” JoogSquad wrote of the debacle. “I can’t make this up, a dude and his girlfriend passed out on drugs in the middle of a busy road.” Despite Tenney’s claims, many commenters argued that the driver was merely looking down at his phone, which seems to hold up under further inspection of the video. For everyone saying he was on his phone not asleep open your eyes bruh lol. He fell asleep holding his phone not on it. Lol people trying to demonize the one doing good rather then this shitball falling asleep in traffic putting everyone at risk. #Facts — Parker5Aces (@5AcesGaming) June 14, 2019 However, Tenney later confirmed beneath the post that both the driver and his girlfriend were, indeed, strung out on drugs, as per his original statement. “I filmed it because if he was, in fact, on drugs like I suspected,” he continued. “I wanted to not only get him on video, but more importantly, get his plate.” I filmed it because if he was in fact on drugs like I suspected I wanted to not only get him on video but more importantly get his plate — Jack Tenney (@JoogSquad) June 14, 2019 JoogSquad isn’t the only YouTuber to encounter such a wild situation on the road, either; beauty influencer Cole Carrigan was similarly caught in a dangerous debacle just a week earlier, after a group of bystanders pulled a gun on him in an Uber. [Timestamp: 4:21 for mobile viewers] While both JoogSquad and Carrigan emerged from their respective debacles safe and sound, they each documented the incidents, leaving their audiences shocked, appalled, and grateful for their safety upon watching the disturbing footage.

Tfue is Back on Twitch With a Video to Explain His Suspension – “This Was a Wakeup Call” – Dexerto
Tfue is Back on Twitch With a Video to Explain His Suspension – “This Was a Wakeup Call” FaZe Clan pro Fortnite player Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has returned to Twitch after a 14-day ban from the platform, as well as a two-week hiatus from YouTube. The popular streamer had been banned from Twitch after all of his social media and content platforms were hacked in a highly publicized affair. His YouTube channel, which had also been completely disabled, has now been restored after a two week period. Tfue took the opportunity to upload a video to the platform, giving major details as to his ban and journey thereafter. In the beginning of the video, Tfue stated that he didn’t want to get into the Twitch ban, citing it as “stupid stuff… that wasn’t even bad.” Reports have stated that Tfue’s ban was due to his chat infiltrating a smaller stream that he hosted, making racist comments. Tfue expressed that the 14-day period was rough on him and that he didn’t really know what to do with himself, and thus nabbed a one-way ticket to stay with the FaZe Clan in L.A. “This whole thing was like a wakeup call. The last bans and the last hacks I could brush off, but this was bad, dude…. I can’t really blame Twitch.” However, the ban also presented him with an opportunity to grind and improve himself. “Usually, when I get banned, I like to take a break and just chill… this time, I’ve just been getting stuff done, aside from streaming – doing a little bit of self-work, working on the setup.” Read more: Epic Games Responds to NICKMERCS Regarding What Was Said to Players After the Fortnite Anti-Gravity Match at PAX West – He expressed gratitude to his fans, and announced that he would be creating more content, such as vlogging and IRL streaming. With Tfue now officially having moved into the FaZe team mansion, fans can expect more content and collaborations from the team very soon.

Tfue is still trying to get Hamlinz to finally make his Twitch return – Dexerto
Tfue is still trying to get Hamlinz to finally make his Twitch return Twitter: TSM_Hamlinz / YouTube: TfueDarryle ‘Hamlinz’ Hamlin was once one of the Kings of Twitch when Fortnite was taking off. However, the TSM star has fallen off the radar in the last 12 months. Fans are still holding out hope for his return though, and even Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney is trying to push him back live. Hamlinz and Tfue were at the top of Fortnite together back in 2018 and 2019. They duo’d numerous times, and their fanbases were heavily intertwined. However, Tfue has gone on to bigger and better things, but Hamlinz has fallen off the radar. He hasn’t streamed in over six months, and it seems like the community is antsy for the “30 minute a month” streamer’s return. Tfue shared a conversation he recently had with Hamlinz on Twitter, with a few comments trying to nudge the TSM streamer to return to the platform. “Bro you forgot to end your stream. I don’t know if you meant to,” Hamlinz said to Tfue after his November 17 broadcast. Tfue came back with a tongue-in-cheek comment, but one that resonated with a lot of people in the Twitch community. “Bro you forgot to start yours,” he said in reply. It comes after the Twitch community continues to rally behind Hamlinz to make his return to the platform. Hamlinz last streamed on March 17, 2020 — over six months ago. In the last 12 months, he has streamed a total of 105 hours — a far cry from numbers he was pulling in 2018. While he was averaging over 10,000 viewers right up until the end, Hamlinz’s disappearance has worried fans. He hasn’t just been inactive on Twitch, but also across social media, Hamlinz has very rarely posted. However, there is a chance that the TSM star could be returning to streaming. Hamlinz said in an October 26 tweet he was “feeling like [himself again].” The streamer took some time off across 2019 to deal with personal issues. He was suffering health issues earlier in the year, and then his grandfather passed away later in the year. His grandmother was also diagnosed with breast cancer. Read more: TSM Hamlinz finally breaks Twitter silence – “I needed some time by myself to rekindle, get my thoughts together, and get myself together, because I’ve never lost anyone close,” he told fans in October. While Hamlinz hasn’t locked in a return stream date yet, his fans are hoping it’ll be just around the corner. Better yet, he could come back alongside his old duo Daequan, and live it up like its the early days of Fortnite all over again. That’s sure to get the fans excited again, if it ever ends up happening.

Tfue in disbelief as entire Fortnite lobby stream snipes him – Dexerto
Tfue in disbelief as entire Fortnite lobby stream snipes him Epic Games / TfuePopular Fortnite star Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney was shocked after finding a whole army of players had stream sniped him during a game of Duo’s. Stream sniping has become one of the biggest problems for streamers who want to play online games for their audience and most streamers take preventative action such as setting delays on their stream. Although, it is often that streamers will just deal with whatever comes their way in terms of stream snipers, such as in the case of Tfue, who has been a constant target for stream snipers while playing Fortnite. Tfue usually relies on his mechanical skills to help him out of disadvantageous positions in-game, however, in one of his most recent streams, he was shocked to see almost the entire lobby landing where he wanted to go after declaring it on stream. The former FaZe member and his duo, EmadGG, decided to land at the latest edition of Fortnite’s Creative block location, suggesting “there will probably just be one team here,” before looking around to see the sky full of players all following him. The pair began bursting into laughter, with Emad explaining just how surprised he was at the amount of players, saying, “oh my god, that is not possible.” Although stream snipers can often be frustrating for any streamers trying to entertain the viewers, they can also lead to some hilarious moments, where Tfue would have to rack up tons of kills just to survive. One of the more entertaining stream sniping moments was seen during the former CS:GO pro Shroud’s stream on Twitch, where the stream sniper mimicked the iconic CJ from GTA San Andreas meme during a game of PUBG. Tfue is expected to compete this weekend away from the stream snipers in a LAN setting on June 17 alongside LA Lakers star, Josh Hart, as part of the Fortnite Celebrity Pro-Am tournament in The Forum, California.

Tfue hits back at Logan Paul’s backhanded “congratulations” for dating Corinna Kopf – Dexerto
Tfue hits back at Logan Paul’s backhanded “congratulations” for dating Corinna Kopf The Hollywood Fix, Logan Paul Vlogs – YouTubePopular Fortnite pro FaZe Tfue has gone public with Instagram model Corinna Kopf – but some internet personalities aren’t too pleased with their new relationship. Controversial YouTuber Logan Paul took shots at the couple with a backhanded compliment during his 24th birthday vlog, prompting a nonplussed response from Tfue nearly a week later. Tfue spoke out on the “compliment” during an interview with the Hollywood Fix on April 10, where he didn’t appear to be too concerned with Paul’s comments. [Timestamp: 4:23 for mobile viewers] Tfue’s take on Logan Paul’s shade “I have no idea how he feels,” Tfue answered when questioned about the debacle. “…nah, I don’t really care.” The interviewer then brought up the death of Paul’s Pomeranian, Kong da Savage, who was killed by coyotes the night of April 5 – to which Tfue had a surprisingly sympathetic response. “I feel bad for any animal that passes away, man,” Tfue said of the tragedy. “That’s sad as shit.” A tumultuous love triangle Despite his largely public relationship with Kopf, Tfue seemed to brush off the interviewer’s questions about their romance, coyly answering, “I don’t know what you’re talking about” when asked if they were official. Kopf went public with Tfue after her breakup with Logan Paul in early March, posting a series of intimate photos with the gaming pro to her Instagram. However, Paul didn’t seem to be a fan of their romance – likely due to Kopf’s suggestive Tweet toward rival YouTuber KSI on Valentine’s day. Paul described their relationship as a “casual” fling, and even insinuated that Kopf “ran through the YouTubers” in an episode of his ‘imPaulsive’ podcast. [Timestamp: 1:03:22] In fact, Paul had seemingly “stolen” Kopf from Tfue in early 2019, prompting a sly jab at the Twitch star during another podcast episode after he was spotted with Kopf at a Lakers game in early January. Tfue himself was tight-lipped about his possible relationship with Kopf, and continues to keep things private – although Kopf has made several hilarious appearances on his live streams and continues to post photos of the two across social media. Tfue likewise hinted that he could be signing to an agency soon, although he didn’t name any names; aside from his work with FaZe Clan, fans will have to wait for any upcoming moves from the player.

Tfue in hysterics as girlfriend Corinna Kopf fails miserably in Fortnite – Dexerto
Tfue in hysterics as girlfriend Corinna Kopf fails miserably in Fortnite YouTube superstar Corinna Kopf suffered an embarrassing death on Fortnite Battle Royale which left with FaZe Clan’s Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney lost for words. After weeks of speculation, it was confirmed on March 3 that the pair were in fact dating following Kopf’s split with fellow YouTuber Logan Paul, after a series of Instagram posts made their relationship official. Kopf has regularly appeared on the FaZe Clan professional’s stream and the couple decided to jump into Fortnite Battle Royale as a team, after Tfue had finished playing his World Cup qualification games with FaZe Cloak. Corinna Kopf killed by a cannon in Fortnite Unsurprisingly, Tfue opted to land at Tilted Towers, the location known for the most early game engagements but suffered a surprise death leaving his significant other to fend for herself against two players. Despite having just 46 HP, Corinna was able to land some fantastic shotgun shots to clutch up the 2v1 against two soccer skins which delighted Tfue who couldn’t believe what he was witnessing. However, her heroics soon came to an end after another player entered the fight and eliminated her by shooting their team-mate out of a cannon before she was able to revive her partner at the reboot van. Tfue was visibly shocked after watching Kopf suffer the humiliating elimination which led to her questioning her own Fortnite abilities. “What?” she said while Tfue was speechless in the background. “Am I that bad?” The pair went on to team up with xQc in squad mode after the former Overwatch pro had his first taste of competitive Fortnite gameplay alongside the FaZe pro. While Corinna’s in-game death was unfortunate, her shotgun skills suggest she may be a better player than many had anticipated.

Tfue gives hilarious speech to Korean fans following win at Fortnite Korea Open – Dexerto
Tfue gives hilarious speech to Korean fans following win at Fortnite Korea Open FaZe Clan’s Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney and his duo partner KittyPlays took first place in the duos event at the Fortnite Korea Open on December 15, but his victory speech was arguably his biggest highlight. As the winningest Fortnite player in terms of prize money, having taken 1st in the Fall Skirmish with FaZe teammate Dennis ‘Cloak’ Lepore, bringing his total winnings to over $450,000. However, the Korea Open was a charity event, so with the pressure off, Tfue and KittyPlays were able to just enjoy the tournament – and play for a good cause, with a total of 1 billion Korean Won going to charity. After comfortably taking top spot over the Korean duo of Sinooh and Ohking, winning with 178 points to their 169, Tfue and KittyPlays were presented with a trophy each and a large check. During the trophy presentation, in front of thousands of Korean fans and thousands more watching online, Tfue was asked if he had a message for his new supporters. Tfue kept it short, sweet and absolutely hilarious, as he reminded everyone to “use support-a-creator code KittyPlays and Tfue in the bottom right hand corner of the Fortnite item shop.” The translator kindly obliged in relaying the message. Support-a-creator is a program which allows Fortnite fans to use a code dedicated to their favorite Fortnite YouTuber or streamer, for many of whom this will already be Tfue. More: Fortnite: Weapon wrap concept would change color based on weapon rarity and have special effects for high kill games – As likely the only player who can challenge Ninja in terms of popularity on Twitch, he is one of the fastest growing channels, all while balancing competitive play with FaZe Clan. Thanks to his performance in Korea, he will have earned plenty of new supporters from across the world now too.

Tfue hilariously ‘attacked’ by girlfriend Corinna Kopf on stream – Dexerto
Tfue hilariously ‘attacked’ by girlfriend Corinna Kopf on stream Corinna Kopf, Instagram / Tfue, TwitchFortnite pro FaZe Tfue has been making unsuccessful attempts to hide girlfriend Corinna Kopf from his Twitch stream, as evidenced by her hilarious ‘attack’ on the gamer during a live broadcast. Tfue was in the midst of a Fortnite stream on March 21 when he appeared to get distracted by Kopf in a bout of play-fighting, jokingly swatting out and giving her the finger. He then mockingly put up his fists in a fighting stance, after which Kopf appeared to threaten him with something out of view of the camera. “Do it!” Tfue laughed. “You won’t!’ In response, Kopf threw an unidentifiable object at Tfue’s face, causing him to break out in a fit of laughter. “Yo!” Tfue chuckled, holding his cheek in feigned shock. “She’s abusive! Are you kidding me?” This marks the latest of Kopf’s on-stream shenanigans, following her surprise appearance in a March 7 broadcast, where she performed a humorous ASMR session after being caught talking in the background. That’s not all; another stream on March 16 heard the two getting physical off-camera, with some fans joking that Tfue was noisily kissing his ‘goldfish,’ which he’d previously used as an excuse to explain Corinna’s presence in his streaming room. Tfue and Corinna made their relationship public with two separate Instagram posts on March 3, closely following Kopf’s messy split with controversial YouTuber Logan Paul. While Tfue previously claimed that he and Kopf were “just friends,” the two have since gone public across social media, with Kopf posting a series of intimate photos with the gamer on her Instagram.

Tfue gives away $100k to strangers in epic Kick streaming return – Dexerto
Tfue gives away $100k to strangers in epic Kick streaming return X: TfueFormer Twitch star Tfue is celebrating his return from retirement by handing away free money on a beach while streaming live on Kick. American streamer Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney is officially out of retirement. Known primarily for his Fortnite streams, Tfue was one of the biggest creators on Twitch before ending his career in June of 2023. However, his absence would not be for long. Months later, on November 19, Tfue announced on X (formerly Twitter) that he had signed with Kick and would be stepping into the spotlight once more. Now, the popular streamer is back and has made sure his return is memorable by handing away free money from a beach stand while streaming the charitable act on Kick. “Giving away free money on the beach right now live on Kick,” Tfue wrote on X. He also included a photo of his beach stand and three security guards protecting a large ceramic bowl filled with cash, coming to a total of $100,000. The first “customers” to take advantage of the deal were two passersby who weren’t too sure at first whether or not to trust that the money was real. Shocked by the generosity, they were gifted a bundle of cash each before Tfue explained why he had set up scaffolding out in front of the stand. “We put the scaffolding there just in case too many people show up for this awesome deal we have going on,” Tfue said. “Buy nothing, get free money.” Predicting a lot of customers in the near future, Tfue planned to make his escape to higher ground if the crowd got out of control. It certainly looks as if Tfue’s prediction might be warranted too, considering some of the eager fans in his comments. “I’m dead ass about to drive 5 hours I think,” one person wrote on X. Another said, “Save some for me, I’m stuck in England right now.” Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

Tfue floored after hilarious encounter with Fortnite stream sniper goes wrong – Dexerto
Tfue floored after hilarious encounter with Fortnite stream sniper goes wrong Tfue, Twitch / Epic GamesPopular Twitch streamer and Fortnite pro FaZe Tfue is no stranger to stream sniping – but one unusual encounter left him speechless. Tfue was in the midst of a Fortnite stream when he encountered a such a troll, wearing a the game’s famed purple ‘Skull Trooper’ skin – who apparently wanted to throw down. “Yeah, you’re fucking trolling me, dude,” Tfue jokingly challenged. “You know exactly who the fuck I am. …oh, you wanna fucking build? Let’s get it, kid!” Despite Tfue’s trash talk, the sniper quickly dispatched him with a single shot, prompting Tfue to invite him back into a game for a few rounds of 1v1 build battles. The sniper was quick to show off his skill, downing Tfue multiple times despite losing building height – which prompted a few hilarious reactions from the streamer. “Dude, I just got shit on, dude!” Tfue jokingly said of one loss. “Ah, shit, I didn’t place that wall. GG.” The sniper hopped on the mic after their bout to congratulate Tfue’s skills, to which Tfue had but one question: “Why were you stream sniping me, dude?” “Nah, I was watching your stream,” the sniper replied. “…I knew you were in my game so I was like, ‘I need some clout, dog, to be honest.’” Tfue didn’t seem to take offense to the sniper’s obvious “clout-farming,” and even wished him well before moving on. This isn’t the first time Tfue has had a memorable encounter with a stream sniper, either; the pro was even taken out by a child streamer in late 2018, after which the kid let out a piercing scream in celebration (much to Tfue’s exasperation).

Tfue gifts delivery driver huge tip despite getting food stolen – Dexerto
Tfue gifts delivery driver huge tip despite getting food stolen Tfue, InstagramFortnite pro and Twitch streamer FaZe Tfue was part of a hilarious debacle on November 27, after a delivery driver allegedly stole the food he was supposed to bring to the FaZe Fortnite house. Tfue had ordered Chic-Fil-A through the Doordash app when he discovered that his meal would likely never make it back to his home. Although the order was marked as “delivered,” the food was nowhere to be seen – prompting Tfue to speculate that the driver had likely stolen his dinner. “Should I put this guy on blast for stealing my food?” Tfue asked his audience during a livestream. “Is it even worth it?” At the behest of his chat, he showed the driver’s face – after which he had a surprising change of heart. Tfue went on to tip the driver $100.00 despite his wrongdoing, predicting that he would be on the receiving end of bad karma, thanks to his actions. “This fucking dude stole my food,” Tfue continued. “Do you know what I’m gonna do? …Imma tip this guy a hundred bucks, dude.” However, Tfue wasn’t completely nonplussed by the incident; he went on to ask his audience to find the perp’s Instagram to “roast his shit” for stealing his Chic-Fil-A. “I don’t really care,” Tfue went on to say. “That guy’s gonna get karma, bro. You keep driving around the dangerous streets, bro, see what happens.” While Tfue was obviously burnt that he didn’t get his chicken, he managed to show kindness despite his circumstances.

Tfue gives first public statement following FaZe Clan lawsuit, Banks responds – Dexerto
Tfue gives first public statement following FaZe Clan lawsuit, Banks responds Tfue – YouTubeFor the first time since publicly filing a lawsuit against FaZe Clan, star Fortnite BR pro player Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney has issued a statement about the ongoing controversy. Since the news that he had filed a lawsuit against FaZe Clan became public on May 20, Tfue had been virtually silent on the subject, despite all of the controversy that the lawsuit had stirred up. Finally, on May 22, Tfue broke his silence and published a short, two-minute video to YouTube and social media, captioning it “My Response #ReleaseTheContract.” In the video, Tfue mentions that the whole purpose of the lawsuit was not to upset anyone or stir up drama, but rather to bring attention to the contract he signed with FaZe, which he now clearly regrets. “I never wanted to upset anybody, I never wanted to get bad stuff in, I never wanted anyone to get emotional, because it’s not about that,” he said. “This is about me and this contract. This contract that I signed when I didn’t know any better, I’m an idiot, I never should have signed it in the first place. This three-year contract.” Although he’s not allowed to disclose specific details about his contract, Tfue went as far as to say that it was “bizarre” and “fucked,” claiming that it gives FaZe the power to “take all my hard earnings and all my hard work, and just strip it.” He mentioned figures like “over 49%” and “over 79%,” although not really describing what role they play in his agreement with the org. “What I’m trying to do here is just serve justice to the esports community,” he said. “These kids are getting ripped off, they’re getting taken advantage of. These contracts are not ok, and this needs to never happen again.” He went on to ask FaZe to disclose the contract for all to seee: “FaZe Clan, please, release the contract, for the public to see. Let me show the public. Just give me permission to show these people the truth.” Furthermore, in a comment Tfue posted below the video, he explained why the lawsuit should not have come as a surprise to anyone at FaZe. “I want to make it very clear that I tried multiple times for multiple months to get out of this contract,” he wrote. “No one was blindsided by this, NO ONE.” As for rest of his lawsuit, which included mention of underage drinking, forcing new signings to lie about their age, and gambling, Tfue confirmed that he’s asked his lawyer to remove them from the lawsuit. Here is Tfue’s video in its entirety: UPDATE – FaZe Banks responds to Tfue’s video Shortly after Tfue’s video went live, FaZe Clan founder Ricky ‘Banks’ Banks posted a series of tweets responding to what had been said in the video. Banks claimed that the org will indeed be releasing the contract for the public to see, and also extended an olive brand to Tfue in attempts to “try and solve this.” emotional video he published that was addressed to Tfue. FaZe Clan themselves are yet to officially release a response to the video, although they’ve previously denied having taken any significant amount of money from Tfue’s earnings. As always, we will continue updating this article with more information as it becomes available. Last Update: May 22, 2019 – 11:30 PM EST

Tfue fishing stream almost ends in disaster after catching a literal shark – Dexerto
Tfue fishing stream almost ends in disaster after catching a literal shark Twitch: TfueTwitch star Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney was left stunned when he almost lost his rod during a fishing stream, after hooking a shark that wanted to take the equipment with them on their escape. Tfue is best known from his come-up as one of the best Fortnite players in the world, before transitioning to other games and becoming a more varied Twitch streamer. He also regularly streams doing outdoor activities, being more active than just the gamer he’s known as, and that was no different during his fishing stream on Tuesday, November 15, 2022. While fishing is often quite a calm affair, with one or two exciting catches and nothing completely out of the ordinary, Tfue came up against something a little more daunting during his fishing trip. Tfue catches shark in Twitch fishing stream After over an hour out on the water, Tfue got a huge pull on his line, noticing pretty quickly that it wasn’t just any regular bass or carp but a full-blown shark. Following a struggle to get the shark up to the surface of the water, and jokingly telling the shark to stop eating their fish, it flailed, pulled, and quickly swam away, snapping Tfue’s rod in half in the process. Most fishers would be overjoyed to get a shark on their hook at all, but Tfue definitely seemed to take it in his stride. He was obviously a bit stunned after the shark swam off with half of his rod, but besides that, he didn’t react too much. While he’s not quite as popular as he once was, Tfue remains one of the most followed creators on Twitch and still pulls in thousands of viewers whether he’s gaming, fishing, or otherwise.
