The Fortnite professional FaZe H1ghsky1 was actually on the verge of a great career on Twitch and in Fortnite since he joined the FaZe clan. However, that seems to have abruptly ended. Apparently, Twitch has suspended his channel, after Twitch star Tfue said: The boy was only 11 years old when he signed the professional contract.
Why is age so important? You must be at least 13 years old to compete on Twitch and participate in Epic Games tournaments in Fortnite.
The young streamer “H1ghsky1” is reportedly 13 years old according to his clan FaZe and his own Twitter profile, but this has recently been questioned.
Where do the allegations come from? The popular Twitch streamer Turner “Tfue” Tenney has accused his own clan FaZe of signing an 11-year-old player and lying about his age.
FaZe allegedly pressured the boy and his parents to lie about his age, the streamer claimed. Tfue made these allegations as part of a complaint against the clan FaZe before the “Labor Commissioner”.
It quickly became clear to everyone that Tfue could only mean FaZe H1ghsky1.
An online site had subsequently uncovered some cached photos from social media. The boy’s mother is said to have posted them from a birthday party.
These photos allegedly provided evidence that H1ghsky1 is not yet 13. The photos put him at 12.
Even in the Fortnite community, there was discussion that the boy had magically aged overnight upon joining FaZe.
This is what has happened now: At the moment, H1ghsky1’s channel on Twitch is inaccessible. Anyone trying to access the Twitch channel receives only Twitch’s error message.
There has been no statement from Twitch that H1ghsky1 was indeed suspended for being “too young” – a statement from the player himself is also still pending.
How successful was the player? Joining the FaZe clan gave H1ghsky1 a boost on Twitch.
Although he had some successes on Twitch in June and July 2018 and gained about 70,000 followers, H1ghsky1 made the big leap in March, April, and May 2019.
In the three months after joining FaZe, his channel grew by nearly 260,000 followers.
His channel had recently reached 433,702 followers before he was hit with the suspension.
The star, who is also just 13 years old, Ewokttv, seems to be rising on Twitch at the moment. The girl is deaf and currently everyone is raving about her and her Fortnite skills.
Update 6.6. 14:17: There is a new development regarding the young streamer.
