SypherPK wants World Cup player banned for \u201cunsportsmanlike conduct\u201d Epic Games \/ SypherPK TwitchPopular Twitch streamer, Ali \u2018SypherPK\u2019 Hassan, reported an enemy player in his Fortnite World Cup qualifying game for \u201cunsportsmanlike conduct.\u201d There have already been numerous players called into question over the duration of the qualifying weeks, with bans being issued for players caught \u2018teaming\u2019 with others. The Luminosity Gaming star, SypherPK, had his own experience with an opponent looking to unfairly put other players at a disadvantage while he was live streaming on Twitch, attempting to qualify for the New York event. Sypher shared a clip of him replaying the battle between him and the enemy, in which the player built himself in a 1\u00d71 box and then blew himself up using dynamite, purely to deny SypherPK the elimination points. \u201cThis is against the rules because you are expected to play to the best of your abilities, doing this is not allowed.\u201d He then specified that the rules only applied to the Fortnite Battle Royale qualifiers and that doing this in a regular game does not constitute a ban, saying, \u201cthis is against the terms of service of the world cup\u2026 this is specific rules for the world cup that does not allow this type of game play.\u201d This is a 2 week ban from competitive right? @FortniteGame Pretty sure this is against World Cup TOS. pic.twitter.com\/Z5WgeMgM8b \u2014 LG SypherPK (@SypherPK) June 3, 2019 Sypher followed up by explaining that, although this conduct had no effect on their placing in the grand scheme of things, it was worth making an example of it, as to prevent any further situations like this: \u201cWe were not rewarded a point for that, not that it would have made a difference, we didn\u2019t qualify or anything.\u201d SypherPK and his duo, WBG Ranger, ended up finishing their week 8 finals run in 4th place, missing out on the lone qualification spot for the NA-West region, which was won by the Ghost Gaming duo of Sean and Aydan. The remaining unqualified players will have only 2 more weeks to secure their spot in the Finals, which takes place on July 26 in New York and will give those a chance to compete for their share of the massive $30 million prize pool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
