How FaZe Jarvis tricked the internet with his \u2018return\u2019 to Fortnite YouTube: FaZe Jarvis \/ Epic GamesFaZe Clan\u2019s Jarvis \u2018Jarvis\u2019 Khattri set the internet ablaze with his return to Fortnite on Twitch, though the historic stream that resulted in yet another \u2018ban\u2019 from Epic Games wasn\u2019t quite as it seemed. Jarvis catapulted even further into stardom in November 2019 upon being hit with a permanent Fortnite ban. Since then, he\u2019s been unable to broadcast the game or create any form of content involving the battle royale. When he announced his return through a simple tweet 10 months later, it came as no surprise when it blew up. All of the biggest Fortnite professionals and streamers couldn\u2019t quite believe that Jarvis was about to play again. It seemed too good to be true, and that\u2019s because it was. A video uploaded after the fact revealed how the entire event was a massive troll. Jarvis never actually played Fortnite on stream. He bamboozled everyone on the internet, even us. Here\u2019s how he pulled it off. It\u2019s been nearly a year since Epic banned me. Tonight @ 6PM PST I\u2019m playing Fortnite for the first time back on Twitch. See you there. \u2014 Jarvis (@liljarviss) September 11, 2020 On the day of the shocking stream, Jarvis sent out a simple tweet to announce his \u2018return.\u2019 In just 25 minutes, the post was met with more than 12,000 likes as engagement was through the roof. From benjyfishy to Mongraal and plenty others, it came as shock to other players that Jarvis would go against the permanent ban from Epic Games. Before the stream went live, the FaZe crew had set things up perfectly. As it turns out, Jarvis was never actually playing Fortnite while live on Twitch that day. A streamer by the name of \u2018SlaterKodish\u2019 was just out of frame playing with a controller instead. Every build, every shot, every movement was all executed by him off-screen while Jarvis mimicked with his own controller. \u201cIf Jarvis was to lift his hand once, it would have been game over,\u201d other members in the FaZe Clan house explained. If he slipped up for even a split second, the illusion would have been ruined and the troll would have been exposed. Over 50,000 unique viewers tuned in live for what was an extremely short-lived broadcast. The Epic ID for the account used was flashed briefly during the stream, leading to a fresh ban from the developers before SlaterKodish could even finish the first game for Jarvis. Shortly after the ban came through, the stream came to an abrupt end to give off the impression that FaZe management wasn\u2019t happy with Jarvis. \u201cWe did it,\u201d he yelled just seconds after the broadcast was cut off. \u201cWe just trolled the f***ing world.\u201d So while thousands were duped into believing that they watched Jarvis play Fortnite for the first time in almost a year, it came with a hefty cost. Epic\u2019s latest ban wasn\u2019t just for that account. An IP ban was issued, meaning that no one in the FaZe house will be able to play Fortnite again. Well, until they change their IP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
