Once upon a time, Ninja and Tfue were the pinnacles of competitive Fortnite \u2013 they were the players everyone aspired to be like, but slowly gave way to a new generation of talent as time went on, despite still being top players. After players Nate \u2018Kreo\u2019 Kou, Logan \u2018Bucke\u2019 Eschenburg, \u2018Keys\u2019, and \u2018Slackes\u2019 were given 60-day bans for collusion in a Fortnite Championship Series event, much of the community provided their opinion on the matter \u2013 and now Ninja and Tfue have weighed in on the controversy The ban was handed to the aforementioned players within just a few hours of the incident happening after viewers started to question whether they were teaming, and Ninja has explained why he thinks this happens in the Fortnite pro scene \u2013 as well as making a dig at Epic Games\u2019 inconsistent punishments. \u201cThis competitive scene is purely run by kids,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd then Epic\u2019s like, \u2018here\u2019s a Fortnite tournament.\u2019\u201d He went on to mention how \u201cdisappointed\u201d he is in the players who have been banned, as well as commending players such as Kyle \u2018Mongraal\u2019 Jackson and Benjy \u2018Benjyfishy\u2019 Fish, who he says don\u2019t need to cheat because they\u2019re \u201ctoo talented.\u201d Ninja also spoke out about the inconsistency in bans, referencing FaZe Clan\u2019s Jarvis \u2018Jarvis\u2019 Kaye. \u201cJarvis cheats in an online, regular game for no money and gets a full-time ban. Players get caught cheating in a tournament for money and they get banned for 60 days. Alright, go,\u201d he said. Meanwhile, Tfue slammed people who think 60 days is too long, saying that would maybe be the case if they cheated in just one match \u2013 but the ban is perfectly reasonable considering it was across 9 games. He also said that 60 days would be alright if they did it only two or three times, implying that he believes the ban should be even greater than was given. The other notable cheating scandal in Fortnite was that of Xxif and Ronaldo, who faced 2-week suspensions prior to the 2019 Fortnite World Cup for collusion in qualifiers, with many people ardently against the seemingly-lenient bans considering the magnitude of the event. Ninja and Tfue don\u2019t always see eye to eye on certain things, but it seems they\u2019re both on the same side when it comes to this cheating scandal, even believing that the punishment could have been much worse on the players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tfue and Ninja slam Fortnite pros after duos cheating scandal Twitch: Tfue \/ Mixer: NinjaStreaming stars Tyler \u2018Ninja\u2019 Blevins and Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney have spoken out against Fortnite pros and the professional scene after players were banned for allegedly cheating in a tournament.
