Ninja claims Fortnite fight victim at DreamHack Dallas was \u201casking\u201d for it Twitch: Ninja \/ Epic GamesAfter hearing about the fight between two Fortnite pro players at DreamHack Dallas, Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins claimed the victim was \u201casking\u201d for it after intentionally griefing the attacker in-game. On June 3, Fortnite pro DiegoPlayz was on the verge of winning a LAN tournament at Dreamhack Dallas. However, another player who had already been eliminated allegedly landed near him and tried to ruin his game on purpose. After it happened, Diego sought out the other player in person and attacked him. A snippet of the incident was caught on camera. He later apologized for his reaction, although he insisted it felt \u201chorrible\u201d to have been griefed. https:\/\/twitter.com\/yungcalc\/status\/1532947205698502656?s=21&t=Y_eZUqCtm7SQYhRm-cI3QA The event piqued Ninja\u2019s interest. \u201cThe guy in first or whoever was about to quality went over to him and beat the sh*t out of the guy who griefed him?\u201d he said. After being told the victim griefed the attacker intentionally and was sitting in last place when it happened, he added: \u201cThat sounds good to me, man! What a f**king loser. You play stupid games, you\u2019re going to win stupid prizes.\u201d \u201cThat f**king reject thinks that it\u2019s cool to ruin the competitive integrity of another player who is better than him and is performing better than him at a live event, and he\u2019s going to grief him on purpose?\u201d Finally, Ninja said that while he doesn\u2019t think it\u2019s ever appropriate for one player to \u201cbeat the sh*t out of\u201d another player, he claims the victim was asking for it by doing what he did. \u201cYou cannot tell me that kid didn\u2019t ask for it!\u201d Ninja\u2019s thoughts on Fortnite fight on LAN \u201cI don\u2019t think you should beat the sh*t out of somebody but you can\u2019t tell me the kid didn\u2019t ask for it\u201dpic.twitter.com\/2iZOte8yEF \u2014 Jake Lucky (@JakeSucky) June 4, 2022 Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney also chimed in by commenting on the video and agreed with everything Ninja had said. \u201cCouldn\u2019t have said it better, to be honest,\u201d he said. However, not everyone agreed with that sentiment. DreamHack hasn\u2019t released an official statement addressing the incident. As it stands, the two players haven\u2019t been banned from attending future events. However, that could change as the debate about who was right and wrong wages on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
