Over the years, Fortnite has maintained a brilliant record of banning hackers, cheaters, and offensive users. Epic Games’ anti-cheat software is certainly one of the best in the world, and as a result, its battle royale currently has a community that actively follows fair play rules.

Despite their popularity, some of the most prominent content creators and pros have also suffered the consequences of crossing their limits in Fortnite. Just to name a few, this includes FaZe Jarvis, LazarBeam, Ninja and Tfue. The latest name on this list is the popular professional player for NRG Esports, Ronaldo.

“So I am like, I am like okay! You know what? It’s not that big of a deal. I didn’t think it was that big a deal. Now I’m getting e-mails saying I’m not allowed to have that f*****g name, or I get banned!” said Ronaldo.
