Fortnite: Epic admits “non-ideal situation” and clarifies the Zenon controversy | fortnite

The company clarified that, because he is nine years old, the boy will have to wait to be eligible for any official Fortnite tournament, and because of that, he ended up being eliminated from FNCS Invitational. However, the competitive ban, for the time being, extends to Arena mode, which hurts Zenon.

– Unfortunately, due to a limitation, the competitive ban currently blocks players from participating in both tournaments and Arena mode. We realize that this situation is not ideal and we will implement an update in the coming months, so that players who are not eligible to participate in competitive events can continue to play in Arena mode. We appreciate everyone’s patience, ”he told Epic.

The producer also noted that Zenon’s account is not banned, so it can participate in any non-competitive Fortnite mode. In addition, he emphasized that the impressive amount of 1460 days of exile is not related to the severity of the situation, but to the period necessary for him to turn 13 and be able to compete.
