Imagine you’re a Fortnite pro and you’re invited to compete in a weekly tournament series hosted by one of the BIGGEST streamers on the planet.
You’re playing for a cut of the $80,000 prize pool — and you actually win the whole thing.
But then, in the post-game interview, you call everyone “dogshit” and talk trash about the rest of the competitive scene.
And now you’re BANNED from ever competing in that series again and the org you’re signed to has threatened to drop you.
This is exactly what happened to a pro player named Zexrow last week.

This ain’t FGC….
So fortnight has pros now? 2020 is really doing us bad
I think people are missing the point that the ninja tournaments are invitationals. He was invited to play and compete for a lot of money and ended up looking foolish for a competition that was meant for being fun and friendly.
Ninja is such a problem now. Jesus this “adult” really be acting 13.
3:26 I felt that clip coming but it’s usually more of a joke like in that clip the trash talk here wasn’t really a joke since it was a post game interview and that isn’t how you’re supposed to behave there
“Imagine you are a fortnite pro”
Yeah no thanks.
trashtalking not allowed… boring shit. so you are required to praise people you beat
ahh I see only Ninja can talk shit
So why is this any different than Ninja shitting down Reverse 2k"s throat on any other day of the week?
This is just proof that fartnite is a kid's game.
….but the thing is Fortnite *is for kids, my kid brother be watching those Fortnite videos/streams, even their world champ is a kid! 😂😂😂
I can understand the ban from ninja but constant hatred from the community is uncalled for
I think a bit of BM is ok,just as long as it’s all in good spirits,being toxic isn’t really needed
OG Used in game spam to tilt their enemies and it used to tilt me as a viewer aswell , so yeah trash talk is important during a competition , but once everything has been said and done and you trash talk , that's when it goes wrong since everyone likes a feisty competition but no one likes a sore winner .
This is a non-issue. Why do people care?
We L I kE FoR TnItE We L I kE FoR TnItE We L I kE FoR TnItE
ninja is just as toxic so why ban
“THEY DOG, ALL SHIT”
Ninja literally acts like his audience’s age, except with more power. Imagine getting butt hurt over sum trashtalk BM it aint that serious 😒
"trash talk"? Don't you mean macho bullshit?
There is a huge difference between trash talk during a game, and trash talk during a post-game interview where the sole focus is on you.
It is also not fathomable how not doing such behavior "needs to be learned". If you don't know how to behave in public, bye bye, you're obviously not fit to be on a public stage.
slow down the vid at 0:01
Love the St Paul album in the back! If you haven't listened to them please do!
No isn't okay, no matter how look it over
Pretty sure he wasn't banned for trash talking, but specifically because of what he said
Trash talk is in all other SPORTS but we cant in esports but people are soft. This takes away from the argument that the is a real sports.
