Banks and The Fortnite Guy also got into an argument on Twitter over FaZe H1ghsky1\u2019s contract \u2013 the young player who lied about his age in order to stream and compete. Why would I care to sit down and talk to a kid who consistently shit talks me\/ my brand? Who\u2019s jumped to more conclusions and got so much more wrong than right. It\u2019s clear you don\u2019t like me, and that\u2019s fine, but you\u2019re the shit you\u2019re spewing is just nonsense. \u2014 FaZe Banks (@Banks) June 11, 2019 In a TwitLonger message by Fortnite pro Svennoss, he called out the YouTuber for previous occasions when he\u2019s been wrong. Svennoss highlighted a Reddit comment from March, in which user jdubwillie highlighted a handful of situations that had been misreported by The Fortnite Guy.

TheFortniteMeme the ”oh so super nice guy” Read: https:\/\/t.co\/1j82d1RyaT \u2014 Svennoss (@Svenosss) July 8, 2019 Fortnite World Cup qualified player Jonathan \u2018yung calculator\u2019 Weber also called out The Fortnite Guy for having a history of profiting from the problems and misfortunes of fellow players. Weber showed a thumbnail from The Fortnite Guy\u2019s April 6, 2018 video from his previous channel, called \u201cIS EFFECT POSSESSED???\u201d, is in reference to the Dallas Fuel Overwatch pro. He defended this coverage by saying it was news, and compared it to if LeBron James was doing the same thing, everyone would cover it. Bro I cover the news and drama going on in the community. If one of the most popular players in the world is going nuts on social media I\u2019m gonna cover it. This is how media works, have you ever seen the news? Imagine if Lebron was doing that, he would be all over. https:\/\/t.co\/tRB7EJeF4E \u2014 The Fortnite Guy (@The_FortniteGuy) July 6, 2019 TSM member Zexrow released a video on July 7 that helped clear up drama between him and fellow pro Clix. He apologized for angering Clix over a wager match, due to Zexrow receiving numerous hate comments. He went on to accuse The Fortnite Guy of handling the story poorly. ZexRow revealed direct messages between himself and The Fortnite Guy, showing the latter claiming that the video would not make either player \u2018look bad\u2019. In the video, it\u2019s framed as though ZexRow responding to something Clix had said, but his microphone wasn\u2019t on at the time, and so the response is to something else entirely. Despite the controversy surrounding him, The Fortnite Guy continues to attract high viewership, thanks to a solid fan base that is continues to grow. He\u2019s not been wrong about everything either, recently predicting Kyle \u2018Mongraal\u2019 Jackson would sign with FaZe Clan back in June, a move that was confirmed on July 7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
