LazarBeam banned mid-game after Fortnite stream-sniping prank goes wrong YouTube: LazarBeam \/ Epic GamesLannan \u2018LazarBeam\u2019 Eacott has fallen foul of Epic\u2019s hefty banhammer, after he and a half-dozen other Fortnite players tried to pull off a hilarious stream-snipe prank on fellow Click star MrFreshAsian during a solo match. LazarBeam\u2019s relationship with ClickCrew\u2019s resident Fortnite pro Harley \u201cFresh\u201d Campbell seems to be built on jokes. From trying to \u201cbreak\u201d Epic\u2019s game together, to pranking him mid-stream, Eacott never seems to give Fresh a break. To his credit, Fresh is a pretty good sport about it all, even when LazarBeam\u2019s pranks devolve into chasing him around with a gang of Peely-wearing players in a solo match. While the Fortnite pro may not mind, however, it seems like Epic does. Fresh loaded into a solo match. Soon, the Fortnite pro found himself hunted across the map. First, the banana-adorned stream-sniping pack, led by LazarBeam himself, kept tabs on him in choppers. Then they sprung their trap. The Click streamer had got himself a chopper, and thought he was clearing out a single rival in a bush with the Season 2 vehicle. To his surprise, more than half a dozen Peelys burst out of the scrub, and began swarming him. Teaming in Solos sees LazarBeam hit with banhammer Eacott and his potassium-loaded gang seemed to avoid damaging Fresh, save for one rogue banana that went for glory. As the storm closed in though, the Aussie YouTuber looked to put the finishing touches on his prank. The stream-sniping group began trying to fire Fresh into the storm with bounce pads, which the pro was able to avoid. LazarBeam, seemingly ready for a Victory Royale, equipped a gun \u2014 an action Epic seemed to take offense to. Within seconds, every Peely opponent chasing Fresh had been slammed with the mid-game banhammer \u2014 even ringleader LazarBeam was ejected from the game. With no one left to oppose him, Fresh was handed the victory. The newly-minted Luminosity star took to Twitter to laugh at LazarBeam being banned. Eacott responded soon after, hitting back with another joke: \u201cThe only way you can stop my memes is by having Epic employees on your side.\u201d the only way you can stop my memes is by having epic employees on ya side \u2014 LAZAR (@Lazarbeam) April 18, 2020 In fairness to Epic, \u201cteaming\u201d against players in solo queue is a bannable offense, according to the battle royale\u2019s TOS. LazarBeam was likely ready to cop a hit from the hammer and be banned if he was caught mid-prank. Luckily for LazarBeam and his compatriots, it seems like the banhammer may have just been for that game too. Usually, \u201cteaming\u201d carries a three-day in-game ban, but it requires a report; Fresh is unlikely to file one of those against his friend. The mid-game ban can\u2019t have helped the Aussie YouTuber\u2019s stance on Fortnite though. He\u2019s been vocal in recent times about the game\u2019s \u201cpointless\u201d UI changes, and voiced his concern over Season 2 in general too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
