H3CZ explains why Epic shouldn\u2019t give FaZe Jarvis lifetime Fortnite ban NRG co-CEO Hector \u2018H3CZ\u2018 Rodriguez has shared his thoughts on the recent controversy surrounding the ban that FaZe Clan\u2018s Jarvis Kaye received on Fortnite Battle Royale, and the former OpTic Gaming boss believes the suspension shouldn\u2019t be permanent. It\u2019s been over a week now since Epic Games stunned the Fortnite community by handing a lifetime ban to Jarvis, one of the game\u2019s biggest and well-known content creators. And yet, the topic continues to be tossed around and discussed by many in the world of online gaming, with the biggest focus being on whether or not the punishment was fair. Read More: Players petition Epic to return patch notes – The latest to break down this issue were NRG\u2019s H3CZ and Mason \u2018Symfuhny\u2019 Lanier, one of the more prominent pro Fortnite players in the world, as the two org-mates sat down on the November 13 episode of the Eavesdrop Podcast. H3CZ, of course, hasn\u2019t really been involved with Fortnite much, except for the time when he briefly signed OpTic\u2019s first and only pro roster back in 2018. But having been around esports for as long as he has, he was bound to have a well-educated opinion on the matter. During the conversation, the former OpTic CEO really expressed being on the fence when it came to the harshness of the punishment, especially since Jarvis was clearly only cheating for content creation purposes rather than to get a competitive advantage. \u201cI can argue both sides of this,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t know how I feel about it. I keep hearing people say \u2018cheating is wrong, and if you\u2019re cheating in a competitive setting, you should be banned forever.\u2019 I\u2019m with that 100%. But if you\u2019re doing that in a content creation setting and not for money\u2026 I don\u2019t know.\u201d They then compared Jarvis\u2019 situation to the controversy surrounding pro players XXiF and Ronaldo, who were suspended during the World Cup qualifiers for teaming but ended up qualifying after their ban ended. \u201cOne\u2019s for money and the other one\u2019s for pubs and also for money because you\u2019re making money from the content,\u201d H3CZ explained. \u201cThat one video that he made that went viral can, in the end, put him in a position to really make millions.\u201d In the end, however, the Rodriguez found himself in the position of not wanting Jarvis\u2019 ban to be lifetime, and believing that the young content star should be given another chance down the road. \u201cI feel bad though, because he\u2019s super young, and who hasn\u2019t done a lot of stupid sh*t? [\u2026] You get caught cheating when you\u2019re playing for money and other people are giving their f**king best, then f**k you! But it\u2019s a pub, and you\u2019re young. Lifetime ban? I say no. Bring that sh*t back and give him a two year ban, if anything. [\u2026] I hope young Jarvis gets a little bit of justice, because lifetime ban? Get the f**k out of here!\u201d You can watch the full episode #47 of the Eavesdrop Podcast below, with the section on Jarvis beginning at the 38:00 mark for mobile users. As of now, given Epic\u2019s official statement and response to the situation, there\u2019s no indication that Jarvis\u2019 Fortnite ban will be rescinded or reduced anytime soon. The young FaZe star recently released a video discussing his plans for the future and, as things stand, the popular battle royale game doesn\u2019t look to play a part in that. However, nothing is set in stone when it comes to this unpredictable company, and considering the massive community outcry for them to lessen the punishment, we could see Jarvis back in the fold at some point down the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
