A trio of Fortnite competitive players has been disqualified from the Fortnite Championship Series following a tweet that came from one of the team members that stated Epic Games chief creative officer Donald Mustard should kill himself.

According to Polygon, in a now deleted tweet, player Wrigley posted a message that read, "Like literally fucking k!ll your$elf @donaldmustard," tagging Mustard. Epic disqualified Wrigley afterwards, along with their teammates Dictate and Userz, citing the company's community rules that it is not allowed for players to interact "with others in a way that is predatory, threatening, intimidating, lewd, demeaning, derogatory, invasive of privacy, or abusive."

The three players were competing in the NA East region of the FNCS, and the upcoming championship presented the possibility of earning a $3 million cash prize for the winning team. Following the disqualification, members Dictate and Userz spoke out about the ban.
