By Nicholas Barth ·
Many fans have been wondering why FaZe Clan Fortnite player Tfue was banned from Twitch and when he is expected to return to streaming.
UPDATE: 9/6/2018 - 2:58 PM PST
Tfue is no longer banned from twitch and is currently streaming. Check out the reasoning for his ban from the streamer himself here.
Original Story
FaZe Clan professional Fortnite Battle Royale player and content creator Turner "Tfue" Tenney has risen to become one of the most popular influencers in the world of Fortnite and all of Twitch. Consistently pulling in tens of thousands of viewers who enjoy watching Tfue collect impressive kill amounts and Victory Royales, Tfue had recently reached the mark of 30,000 subscribers on Twitch.
Unfortunately, it would later be revealed that Tfue had been banned from Twitch and has since been unable to stream. This had led many members of the Fortnite and Twitch communities to ask one simple question.
Why was Tfue banned from Twitch?
This latest ban that the popular FaZe Clan member and Fortnite player received came on August 23rd with the reasoning for it being a mystery with some believing it was due to members of the streamer's chat posting racist comments in another streamer's chat when the FaZe Clan player had hosted them.
According to a report by Dexerto, it was later revealed that Tfue had been banned from Twitch for saying the phrase "I have aids" on his stream that took place on August 23rd where he had just passed the major milestone of 30,000 subscribers. The father of the content creator later confirmed on Instagram that his son had indeed been banned from Twitch for using one of the 1600 words that are currently banned by the streaming platform from being used in a stream.
The FaZe Clan Fortnite teammate of Tfue in Dennis "Cloak" Lepore, who Tfue had won multiple Friday Fortnite championships with, later stated on his own stream that the scheduled date for his teammate to be unbanned from Twitch was Tuesday, September 4th.
However, a report by Dot Esports states that the brother of Tfue, Youtuber Jack "10E" Tenney, stated in a YouTube video that Tfue was banned for a period of 14 days due to his chat being "toxic" to a smaller streamer. This period of being banned from Twitch would put Tfue's anticipated return date to the streaming platform at Thursday, September 6th.
With conflicting statements from Tfue's teammate in Cloak and his brother 10E regarding when Tfue will be able to return to streaming on Twitch, the fans of the FaZe Clan Fortnite player are anxiously awaiting to hear from the streamer himself when he will be unbanned from the platform.
Both 10E and the father of the two content creator brothers have also claimed that Tfue's YouTube channel had been hacked with the father of the streamer posting a message about the alleged hacking on his Instagram account.

However, Tfue has not yet commented on his alleged return date to Twitch and has not gone live on the platform today, which is the earliest date that has been stated in regards to him being able to stream once again. With no signs of the FaZe Clan member returning to his streaming on September 4th, this coming Thursday of September 6th is looking to be the most likely date for when fans can expect to see Tfue on Twitch streaming again.
