Fortnite Battle Royale is a game for almost any audience. Its animated style and depiction of violence are quite sweetened, allowing players of many ages to play smoothly. Much of the success of the Epic Games game is based on this.
However, the popularity of Fortnite has also reached the smallest players. Thousands of kids play Fortnite and even the best are already making a leap into the most powerful battle royale competitions. Epic Games is aware of this and for a while set the minimum age of 13 years as a requirement to compete in the most important tournaments.
Today it has been learned that Zenon, a very talented Brazilian player has been banned for four years by the developer company. The reason? Zenon he's only nine years old, a figure far below what is established to be able to compete.

Of course, the debate has not been long in coming to light. After seeing the reaction of the boy, who began to cry and become anguished at the moment he received the news, many have come out in their support indicating that the game is clearly aimed at children. On the other side, those who they see this sanction as something fair and that responds to a more adult decision that thinks about the good of the young player.
Why create a game that’s clearly targeted towards kids if you’re not going to let them play it? This shit breaks my fkn heart actually, let the kid play @EpicGames @FortniteGame https://t.co/4rilPleh4R
— FaZe Banks (@Banks) May 5, 2020The four years of ban that this player will suffer are the days that remain until he is 13 years old, the minimum age to compete. The good news is that the little one will continue enjoying Fortnite in its casual modes, place where the largest player base gathers.
Directly related to all this, Epic Games has been forced to cancel the Fortnite World Cup 2020 and the rest of the events related to the battle royale. On the other hand, Fortnite exceeds 350 million users and celebrates it with an event this weekend with Steve Aoki.
