CouRage explains how his infamous \u201cf**k the mechs\u201d clip got him fired as Fortnite caster Epic Games\/YouTube: CouRageJD100 Thieves co-owner and former esports commentator Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop has finally revealed how his viral clip complaining about the B.R.U.T.E. (or \u201cMech\u201d) in Fortnite may have inadvertently ended his casting career. When Fortnite esports first started to take off, CouRage became the voice of the game, calling the greatest moments at the biggest tournaments. He casted major FNCS championships and even the record-breaking Fortnite World Cup, one of the biggest names in the scene. With Season X in Chapter 1, though, CouRage stopped casting Fortnite altogether, never working on another Epic Games event since. CouRage reveals why he isn\u2019t a Fortnite caster anymore During a \u2018hot wings challenge\u2019 YouTube video, CouRage spoke about the incident, finally being asked whether his \u201cF**k the mechs\u201d clip got him fired by Epic. \u201cI definitely didn\u2019t make people happy with my \u2018f**k the mechs\u2019 clip,\u201d he explained. \u201cI was meant to cast the end of season event for Season X, \u2018f**k the mechs\u2019 happened, and I was told \u2018You know what, I think it\u2019s in our best interest to not cast this season and we\u2019ll reassess for the future\u2019.\u201d CouRage then joked that he \u201chasn\u2019t casted a Fortnite event since,\u201d giving a pretty clear indication of how Epic reassessed following the viral clip. Timestamp 7:02 While CouRage doesn\u2019t explicitly say that the clip was what got him fired in the end, many viewers felt it safe to assume this was confirmation. CouRage hasn\u2019t done much casting work since and, with his thriving YouTube career as well as his work with 100 Thieves, it\u2019s hard to imagine he has much time for commentating anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
