Tuntud ja lugupeetud Fortnite'i ratas eemaldati FNCS-i saatest OCE finaali ajal toimunud intsidendi tõttu.
Epic Games has silently removed Fortnite Battle Royale commentator Shaun “AussieAntics” Cochrane from the official FNCS broadcast. The popular content creator revealed the sad news before going live on the NA East All-Star Showdown Solo Finals. According to AussieAntics, Epic made their decision after he publicly blasted an Oceania player for purposely targeting another finalist in a position to win the tournament. Unfortunately, the developers caught wind of the controversy, particularly AussieAntics’ comments, and informed him of the removal.
AussieAntics Removed for “Targeted Hate”
Ametlikust saatest välja langenud.
Otseülekanne 5 minuti pärast, et selgitada, miks.
Ma korraldan ka NAE Solo FNCS finaalide vaatamispeo.

LunR, the player who fell victim to what the Fortnite scene refers to as “griefing,” is a good friend of AussieAntics, and the caster reacted live to the incident during the OCE finals. For those who missed klipp, AussieAntics vaatas, kuidas teine mängija LunR-il maandus ja ta kõrvaldas, lõpetades sellega tema võimalused võita FNCS All-Star Showdowni kroon.
The caster reacted with utter frustration, calling the player a “f**king loser” and noting that he only had 17 points heading into the final match. Aussie instilled the notion that it’s challenging for Epic Games to control these situations, but players should not have the ability to ruin another’s tournament.
Pärast seda, kui lugu hoogu kogus, teavitas Epic AussieAnticsit oma ametlikust saatest eemaldamisest. Ta läks Twitchi otseülekandesse enne, kui ametlik NA East saade hakkas olukorda selgitama. Kui sisulooja jäi probleemi lahendamiseks rahulikuks, puhkes Twitter vihast.

Aussie’s supporters came out in droves, managing to get the hashtag #FreeAussie trending on Twitter in the video games section. Professional players, including XSET Gaming’s Davis “Ceice” McClellan tweeted out the hashtag along with over two thousand others. Retired Fortnite legend — Williams “NRG Zayt” Aubin — qualified for the event and muutis oma mängusisest name to “JUSTICE4AUSSIE” in support of the ousted caster.
Epic Games did not directly address the discipline of AussieAntics, but it appears we will not see him on the broadcast for some time. It’s strikingly similar to what occurred between Epic and beloved caster Arten “Ballatw” Esa, kes kolis Valoranti pärast tüli Epic Gamesiga. AussieAntics jätkab lähitulevikus kõigi võistluste vaatamispartiide voogesitamist.
