Fortnite banned eSports professional Clix for 2 weeks from the game after being caught “teaming” in a solos $100 dollar Cash Cup tournament. The eSports professional has also been disqualified from the FNCS 2023 and the one following it after. He has also been barred from participating in the LAN tournament in Copenhagen.

Cody “Clix” Conrod is a professional Fortnite eSports player formerly part of NRG eSports, NA. Clix was playing in a $100 Cash Cup when he made the mistake of picking up loot from a stream sniper who had been following him the whole game. Taking another players loot without killing them is considered teaming and doing this in a professional tournament is a big no.

Following the clip of him taking loot from the stream sniper went viral, Epic Games has banned the streamer from FNCS 2023 and other important tournaments. Epic Games had recently announced that the Fortnite Champion Series 2023 would have the biggest prize pool in all of its previous 17 seasons with an amount of $10 million.

In a recent stream, Clix revealed the duration and and extent of his ban. He explains that he has been banned from the upcoming Grand Finals of the FNCS North America and FNCS 2023 season. Missing the FNCS 2023 season prevents him from attending the LCQ LAN at Copenhagen. Although Clix has apologized for this behavior, he has also explained the circumstances that led him to do this and lose his cool.

Twitch streamer Clix was banned from Fortnite and its eSports tournaments for “teaming” in a professional tournament. Clix has agreed to have been “teaming” and apologized for his grave mistake. Although he says that the 2 week ban and disqualification was pretty harsh as he explains the game he got banned for on a recent stream.

While playing in the recent $100 dollar Cash Cup tournament, Clix was harassed by a stream sniper the whole game that caused him to get banned. Clix shows that the stream sniper had been following and damaging him the entire game. During one of the fights, Clix loses his cool and starts screaming at the stream sniper saying ” Splash me ” with the shields potion and “Drop me some metal” which the stream sniper obediently follows.

Clix then proceeds to open his edit and jumps over to grab the metal causing him to break the rules of “teaming in a professional tournament”. He has since then apologised for his actions but Epic Games has not responded to it.
