SECOND MOST STREAMED FIFA 20 PLAYER BANNED BY ELECTRONIC ARTS

We all know that EA servers are continuously disappointing their users and online gamers especially live streamers are mocking them for such poor service. Recently the second most streamed player of FIFA 20 was banned from EA’s entire catalogue after sending some abusive and threatening messages.

Kurt Fenech who is the second most streamed player of FIFA 20, also known by his gamer-tag “Kurt0411” on Twitch, was filmed spitting on the Electronic Art’s company logo and using abusive language saying “fu** you, EA.”
This young streamer is clearly having some ignorant behavior and living in a fantasy world where he is the best. As recently this Malta based streamer also reportedly told another competitor to “suck his ba**s”, calling him a “son of a bi***”.

Electronic Arts that published the popular football simulator franchise, recently published a statement on twitter claiming that Fenech had made ”abusive and threatening messages and videos about EA employees and competitive players on social media, and he has encouraged others to do the same.”
In response to the ban, Fenech remained insolent, insisting: “I have never said anything I shouldn’t have. This is just deeper than anyone thinks.”

He also added:
“They didn’t want me competing at events because they were scared I would win them, now I am the second biggest streamer of their game and they are scared that I will overtake their golden boy.”

FIFA is one of the gaming industry’s more profitable ESports, with Fenech himself having won tens of thousands of pounds in prize money from the game.

"FORTNITE IS DIFFICULT THAN NFL" Says NINJA

NINJA GOT MOCKED

 The world’s most popular online game streamer has been widely taunted for tweeting that playing Fortnite game is tougher than playing the highest ranked American football NFL.

Tyler Blevins aka Ninja who makes millions of dollars by playing games (about $8M since 2018) tweeted his thought that professional athletes could miss kicks when playing in the NFL. The ESports star then protected his belief by saying that video games like Fortnite contains far more difficulties and complexities than traditional sports.

Ninja wrote this in a recently deleted tweet:

“I’ll never understand how college and NFL football teams allow kickers that just miss kicks. I feel like there has to be pools of kickers in the USA that won’t miss simple kicks. Or snappers that won’t mess the snaps idk it seems so silly. Would love opinions on this.”

It was tweeted and witter users started offer their opinions, like professional Fortnite players also miss shots and suffer the same imperfections. Fellow pro streamer DuckyTheGamer made fun of Ninja’s tweet by replying:

“I will never understand how pro Fortnite players just miss shots. I feel like there has to be pools of pro players who can just click on their heads and hit every shot with 100 per cent accuracy, just seems so silly."

This impelled a furious response from Ninja, who mentioned that the two were incomparable by tweeting:'

“This is the shittiest reply ever, Fortnite requires movement, editing, building, rotating, and hitting shots. There are not ‘positions’ in Fortnite. A kicker’s job is literally to kick. Horrible analogy, kind of embarrassing.”

The tweet got thousands of responses from Twitter users, with many scolding Ninja of being ignorant of the skills he is involved in. The bombardment of responses resulted in Ninja deleting both his tweets and posting a new tweet criticizing people for denying his opinion.

He posted another tweet saying:

“One thing I learned today is if I am curious and unsure of something, is to never ask for the internet’s opinion because I am getting f*** roasted.”

The 28 year old is known for controversy, having previously revealed that he agrees with the US vice president mike pence by refusing to stream with female gamers out of respect for his wife.

He also got banned for a short period of time from the streaming platform Twitch for unveiling the address of an apparently racist donor to his channel.

He surely does know how to stay in hotlines. God know what’s he up to do next….
