Despite winning some of the most prestigious Fortnite titles, Kai ‘kquid’ Eaton has been going through a rough patch in his competitive career. Back in May, Fortnite banned the 14- year-old professional during an ongoing match in the FNCS.

Kquid also made a video explaining the incident and was sure that he would be unbanned soon. However, things did not go as planned for the pro as he could not play the game for over 6 months. As a result, a majority of his supporters also lost hope for his comeback.
