Harry Hesketh hits back at FIFA 21 FGS ban, retires from pro play YouTube: Harry HeskethFIFA 21 star Harry \u2018Harry\u2019 Hesketh was banned for one FGS event by EA SPORTS over a joke he made to 14-year-old wonderkid Anders Vejrgang on stream. While he disagrees with the ban, he is taking it in his stride, and leaving pro play behind. Since then, Fnatic have confirmed he has been released from the organization. Hesketh, who has 700,000 subscribers on YouTube, has turned up the ante on content creation across 2020 and 2021. The former pro has been on the up ever since he signed with Fnatic. However, his pro play career has come crumbling down over one comment he made to Anders Vejrgang during a FUT Champions match. \u201cI made one distasteful comment right, I said \u2018his fingers might be quick, but mine are longer,\u2019 and made a reference to his mother. I know my UK base are going to be like \u2018it\u2019s a mom joke\u2019 \u2014 don\u2019t defend me. It\u2019s a distasteful comment,\u201d he said back in December. EA SPORTS have handed him a ban for the FGS Europe Regional Qualifier on February 6. However, instead of coming back after the ban, he\u2019s made up his mind to step back from professional FIFA over claims of double standards.

They can do what they want, when they want. It isn\u2019t a defense, it isn\u2019t me trying to get it overturned,\u201d he said in a January 22 video. \u201cI got dealt the same severity of ban for a mom joke as racism. That\u2019s just a stone cold fact. If this is the precedent you\u2019re setting for pro players, in the next 24 hours, I could go out and get every single person that\u2019s ever competed in FIFA on the world stage banned,\u201d he then added. He also apologized to Anders for the comments, although he questioned whether EA were going after him for a personal vendetta.

A revelation came to me after the stream. [EA] went to Anders and said \u2018do you want an inquest into this stuff that happened on stream\u2019 and they said no, because nothing happened.\u201d \u201cThe thing with EA that disheartens me a bit is the personal relationships. I get along with everyone I\u2019ve met. I have zero personal vendettas against anyone I\u2019ve met. I don\u2019t know where it\u2019s gone wrong, but it\u2019s gone wrong somewhere.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m announcing my retirement from EA competitive events, effective immediately,\u201d he finished. \u201cThis is the biggest risk of my life \u2014 if I\u2019m not competing, I\u2019m not competing with a team, so I\u2019m deleting a three-year contract there.\u201d \u201cMy dream was to entertain, to interact with people, and be happy. The amount of messages I get per day\u2026saying how much I\u2019ve helped you all get through the times\u2026that to me tops any trophy. That\u2019s what I want to do, and if 2020 taught me anything, it\u2019s to take risks.\u201d Upon the release of Harry\u2019s original video, Fnatic\u2019s position was not clear. However, on the morning of January 23, they have officially confirmed that they have \u201cparted ways\u201d with the content creator. They said: \u201cWe have mutually agreed to part ways with Harry Hesketh, to allow him to focus on his own career as a solo content creator.\u201d Official statement \u2014 @HarryHesketh Fnatic and Harry have mutually agreed to part ways after his retirement from FIFA esports, allowing him to focus on his own career as a solo content creator. \u2014 FNATIC (@FNATIC) January 23, 2021 \u201cFollowing EA\u2019s statement banning Harry from competing in the upcoming Europe Regional Qualifier, we spoke with Harry about his future as a professional FIFA player,\u201d the statement says. \u201cHarry informed us of his intention to retire as a player, and we agreed it was best for both parties to terminate his contract with the Black and Orange.\u201d It seems there are no hard feelings, with Harry responding to the tweet to say he will still be cheering Fnatic on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
