A Fortnite streamer realized live on Twitch how quickly Epic issues a ban. After the streamer teamed up with his viewers, he wanted to secure kills by playing on a second account. Epic did not like that at all.
This player is: The professional Aydan Conrad is signed with Ghost Gaming and has already participated in various tournaments. He is also represented on Twitch.
But now one of his accounts has been banned by Epic. He wanted to easily earn kills and played on a second account, collaborating with his viewers. After a few rounds, he was then banned live on stream by Epic.
This is how the pro tried to cheat the kills
This was the plan: In trio mode, Aydan wanted to secure a lot of kills and therefore made a call to his viewers. He is looking for teammates who are statistically worse than he is and who then jump directly from the map.
The pro himself played with a “second account” (smurf) and thus was matched against easier opponents than if he had played with his “main account.” This is due to the new matchmaking in Fortnite. His “bad” teammates help with this.
Due to the other two getting eliminated, the pro has the whole trio against him alone and can rack up numerous kills against the supposedly worse opponents.
This is how the plan worked: The first rounds went well for Aydan, and he secured many kills. It seemed like nothing would happen when using such tricks.
But then Epic intervened. While the pro was waiting in the lobby, a message appeared that his account was banned for 24 hours. The reason for this was “exploiting.” In German, it roughly translates to “taking advantage” or “exploiting.”
How does the pro react to this? Aydan takes it all with a laugh. After all, it wasn’t his main account that was banned here, but just a small account. Other pros have faced tougher consequences on Twitch.
So he laughs out loud and says: “This is comedy!” He doesn’t seem to be particularly affected.
Two other pros were exposed by their team leader:
