The Twitch streamer “kurt0411” completely freaked out during one of his streams, resulting in EA banning him from all tournaments of FIFA 20. However, even then, he showed no remorse.
What kind of streamer is he? Kurt “kurt0411” Fenech has been a name in the FIFA scene for years. He is also known for his impulsive behavior, which has previously resulted in bans.
He received bans in October 2018 and March 2019, each for a few months, with the ban in March being considered the last warning.
Kurt apparently did not take this warning seriously, as he once again made headlines when he had a huge outburst during one of his streams.
Kurt spits on EA logo – “You can’t beat me”
This is the situation: The pro has his outburst when he equalized in the stoppage time of a game. His celebration was a bit different, as instead of being happy, he insulted his opponent: “Bastard! You can’t beat me, not even in this garbage game!”
After that, his hate against EA and FIFA continues. Kurt takes a scarf from EA and spits directly on the logo.
Also offensive on Twitter: The video from his stream was shared by the Twitch streamer DrJarba. He stated that while there is freedom of speech, he despises such behavior.
Kurt also reacted to this and verbally attacked his fellow streamer: “These 50 seconds are better than your entire streaming career.”
How does EA respond to this? The developers of FIFA 20 do not waste any time and ban the streamer from all future tournaments related to FIFA 20. In a statement, they condemn Kurt’s behavior and justify their ban.
What does the streamer say about the ban? Here too, Kurt is unteachable and continues to attack EA. He says on Twitter that he could only circumvent the ban by never streaming again. This was not an option for Kurt. Furthermore, he stands by his opinion, saying that EA should be ashamed of the product they released.
Are such bans normal? Especially vulgar streamers often get banned from their game or from Twitch. Most recently, MontanaBlack was banned after having an outburst in FIFA 20.
However, there are also bans that are not quite understandable for the pros. A professional from Rainbow Six Siege was also banned, and he could not understand the whole thing.
A professional was already banned in FIFA 19 for using a word he considered completely normal:
