Twitch Rivals disqualify Tfue\u2019s Minecraft tournament win over brightness settings Tfue\/Twitch RivalsFollowing his first place finish in the Twitch Rivals Minecraft Mystery Games tournament, streamer Tfue tweeted out he\u2019d been disqualified \u2013 apparently because his brightness settings were too high. On April 6, the Minecraft Mystery Games were held by Twitch Rivals, and streamer Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney\u2019s team managed to take out the competition and come in first place. The streamer was riding high, until he was apparently informed by Twitch that his team had been disqualified at the very end because his brightness setting was \u201ctoo high.\u201d WE JUST WON TWITCH RIVALS AND THEY DISQUALIFIED US BECAUSE MY BRIGHTNESS WAS TOO HIGH???? \u2014 Tfue (@Tfue) April 6, 2021 \u201cWE JUST WON TWITCH RIVALS AND THEY DISQUALIFIED US BECAUSE MY BRIGHTNESS WAS TOO HIGH????\u201d a very surprised Tfue tweeted just after the tournament wrapped up. After the tweet several users pointed out that Tfue\u2019s brightness settings did seem to give him an advantage over other players, and used screenshots to back up their claims. On top of that, even though he wasn\u2019t using any mods, the Twitch Rivals rules did forbid changing the settings to get an unfair advantage, but it doesn\u2019t make this any less bizarre of a situation. It\u2019s cheatting, it was on the rules pic.twitter.com\/CRXmLZI8F0 \u2014 Axl Castro (@AxtassyBaby) April 6, 2021 Sure enough, when Twitch Rivals tweeted the official results from their account, it was Team BastiGHG instead of Team Tfue in first place, even though Tenney\u2019s squad was at the top of the leaderboard towards the end. Not only did Team BastiGHG take the hardware, they also took the $50,000 grand prize, which could go a bit towards explaining why the disqualified team and Tfue himself were so upset by the descision.

While unfortunate, it can serve as a valuable lesson to Tenney and anyone else playing in a competitive tournament: be sure to thoroughly read the rules before you go in and start playing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
