THump is now the third major Fortnite player to feel the wrath of Twitch\u2019s ban hammer this week, after \u2018Clix\u2019 and \u2018Khanada\u2019 were taken off the platform for seven and three days respectively. Both Clix and Khanada were suspended for streaming with banned Twitch user \u2018Zayn\u2019. Clix\u2019s ban was later shortened, with the streamer coming back to the platform after just 48 hours.
