Twitch streamer Cody “Clix” Conrod took to Twitter today to announce that he has been banned by Fortnite for “teaming” with an opponent in a recent match. As a result of the ban, Clix will not be able to compete in the upcoming season of the Fortnite Championship Series or the Copenhagen LAN event scheduled for the end of the year.
During a recent stream where he discussed his ban, Clix disclosed that he received a two-week ban and provided additional details about the extent of his punishment.
This means I can’t play the FNCS Grand Finals, and I also can’t play the next FNCS in a month, so that means I can’t go to the LAN event. I did break the rules right there, but I feel two weeks is a little bit too harsh and I would be happy with a seven-day or three-day, or even a warning, where I can play the next FNCS.

The Fortnite Championship Series of 2023 is scheduled to take place in Copenhagen at the end of the year and will boast a whopping $10 million prize pool, making it one of the most significant in Fortnite’s history. Regrettably, Clix, a well-known player and a top competitor in the FNCS scene, has received a ban from the game. Consequently, he will not be able to participate in the NA Grand Finals or LCQ for the Copenhagen LAN, dealing a significant blow to his chances of success in the tournament.
Why Did Clix Get Banned From Fortnite?
Clix speculated that Epic may have based their decision on the game replay, which made it seem like he was teaming up with the enemy. However, during his stream, he expressed his frustration with the situation, emphasizing that he was actively trying to stop the enemy’s sniping. He further clarified that he does not hold any resentment towards Epic for their decision.
If they looked at the replays, chat, it does look like I was teaming, from the replays out of context, I completely agree. I’m not trying to go off at Epic whatsoever, it’s more that I’m disappointed at the fact that I got a consequence off of someone else’s actions that I wasn’t even able to control.
