The Twitch streamer Turner “Tfue” Tenney mocked the same duo during a Fortnite tournament. Now he is accused of using his kids army to intimidate other players.
This is the situation: The Fortnite pro Tfue is participating in the “Fortnite Champions Series” in duo with his partner “Scoped”. He qualified for the finals, which will start on April 17 (via Epic Games).
During the qualification, another duo consistently landed in the same spot as Tfue. The Twitch streamer and his partner eliminated the opposing duo at the beginning of each round, which is now causing discussions.
The encounters are now causing problems
What is the problem? In Fortnite, part of the tactic is to find a good landing spot from which to start and collect loot. This can be crucial for success in a tournament.
Tfue chose the landing spot “The Grotto” for this tournament. However, the opposing duo “OopsRekt” and “StarvingAiden” also chose this location.
Tfue’s fans likely thought the other duo were stream-snipers trying to ruin their favorite streamer’s tournament by landing in the same spot. Therefore, they attacked the duo.
Tfue should watch what he says
This is how the opposing duo reacted to the accusation: The opposing duo reportedly has been landing at “The Grotto” for much longer than Tfue. A video posted by the clan StarvingHustler on Twitter supposedly proves that they did not land there because of the streamer.
In the video posted by the clan, you can see StarvingAidan receiving many hate messages.
In a comment, there is even a post detailing where StarvingAidan is supposed to live. Tfue’s fans go so far as to publish personal information about the opponents.
The accusation against Tfue: He should be careful about what he says because he has a strong influence on children who cannot think for themselves. This only happens because Tfue decided to land there. That is sad.
Tfue is exploiting his power over these children, causing players to perhaps be too afraid to join in. This would ruin their joy in being successful, especially when they receive so much hate.
Tfue mocked the opposing team
How did Tfue react to the video? In the stream, Tfue watched this video from the clan and then mocked the opposing duo. He spoke very sarcastically, saying the duo was so intimidating.
“They have been landing there for ages. They surely have a lot of experience. You should be wary of them.”
After all the rounds, he looked at the tournament placements. The opposing duo had 0 eliminations in all 6 matches.
“Oh, they have 0 eliminations in 6 matches? And we have just started landing there?! You should be more careful!”
The streamer seems to find it amusing that the duo keeps landing with them and fails every time. This does not indicate that they have been landing there for a long time and are familiar with the landing spot.
Publishing personal information like residence is not okay. For streamers, this can lead to their house being SWATed. This is what happened to the world champion Bugha when a special unit suddenly stood in front of his door, because a viewer wanted to play a prank and called the police anonymously.
