The Farknite Championship Series Epic Games Battle Royale is a big deal for participating properties – not just millions of dollars on the line, but at least some amount guaranteed for entry. That’s until you become disqualified from the proceedings. One team found that difficult path.
On Sunday, FNCS rival Riggle posted a sick advisor tweet that read, “Like literally fucking King! His entire Twitter account is now gone, but in response Epic Games reprimanded Wiggle and Disqualified him from the tournament.
His teammate was also caught in the crossfire. Wrigley was a part of the trio, which included Fornite Pros that handle dictates and users. Both have nothing to do with Wrigley’s initial outburst, but they will no longer be able to take part in the tournament, or even be allowed to find a replacement for the offending team member.
Arriving for comment, the Epic Games representative directed the polygon to the company’s community rules, which clearly state that “contact with others is not permitted in a manner that is violent, threatening, intimidating, worldly, insulting, insulting, invasive or insulting to privacy.” Breaking these guidelines could be grounds for a ban, or other punishment that Epic Games deems appropriate.
In a private message to Polygon, the user shared a screenshot that greeted him after loading the game.

According to users, Wrigley’s tweet angered Greg after he was sniped in the first game of the final. He also claimed that the pair was not aware of the tweet until the next day, at which time it was already deleted. Since then, there has been radio silence from Brigley – but it’s big Fornite Community Rushes around the team. While no one seems to support Wrigley’s original tweet, some fans believe it’s unfair to ban the entire team. Users estimate that over the past two months, he has been “grinding” up to 12 hours of practice time in anticipation of a major event.
“The prize pool and everything was very inspiring to me,” he said. After qualifying, he said he started grinding even harder.
On Twitter, users Lobby fans To reach Epic Games on the decision, he notices that he and his teammate are putting “infinite time” into the game for the chance of “life-changing money”. Instead of coming down all that drain, he said, the team would have liked the opportunity to choose Wrigley’s option.
“To be honest,” The dictator wrote on Twitter“I was smiling yesterday when I got the email, but now I want to cry.” The teenager added that he did not know what he was going to eat that week, as he was counting on the tournament money.
“Why am I really confused that my teammates and I, who have nothing to do with the comments made by our other team, don’t get the prize money of $ 600?” The dictator told Poligan on Twitter what the pay would have been if the team had finished last. “We didn’t cheat us into entering the grand final so it doesn’t make sense that our guaranteed prize has just been taken away from us.”
Wigley apparently promised remuneration to his fellow players on ineligibility, but in the meantime, Others are entering the duo to send money.
