Fortnite battle royale has been known for its strict handling of pro players and streamers long before the issues became prevalent. We have seen in the past how the community has reacted negatively to this. However, considering the fact that most of these actions were for legitimate reasons, the backlash would let up.
Previously, we have seen these players vociferously speaking on social media about how they were blacklisted. Likewise, we also see an apology from them from time to time when they are actually guilty. This time, it is Unknown, and he has been blacklisted, and the reason seems pretty ambivalent.
He is not blacklisted by Fortnite or Epic Games, though, but by members of his own organization. This happened after Unknown singlehandedly took on the NRG roster. Eliminating names like Zayt, Clix and Benji is quite an accomplishment.

What seems to be the case is Zayt had blacklisted Unknown from his scrims servers. This was revealed by Unknown himself. While the issue between Unknown and Zayt isn’t surprising, after this game, a slight tussle between Unknown and Clix became apparent as well.

Considering all these players belong to the same organization, it’s clear how this is bad for morale. While Clix is a relatively new signing, he is also one of the youngest and best players in the world. For him to enter an organization and have quibbles with members might be a little unsettling. However, this is quite a prevalent phenomenon among pro players.
The reason why they go after each other is to find out each other’s weaknesses and strengths. That way, they will have an idea of how to improve in a close-knit circle. Regardless, Unknown was quite hyped out about taking out his teammates, which might give the wrong impression to both fans and his fellow players. Although, it is not every day that you get to take out three of the best pros in the game right now, one after the other.
