Logan "BuckeFPS" was deported from Denmark after Epic Games disqualified him from the Fortnite Global Championship a few hours before the event started. This American esports professional, who also has quite the following on Twitch, made a series of posts on X (Twitter) to express his frustration after leaving the country. Logan was disqualified from FNCS only about three hours before it started, and it appears he was not given any explanation.

Taking to social media, BuckeFPS begged the organizers to at least communicate with him the reason for his disqualification, writing:

"I am begging, please at least tell me why I am disqualified. Getting kicked out of the country in less than an hour from Blast and not even Epic Games is so unfair, like let me talk to an Epic Games employee. It's an Epic event, not Blast."

For those wondering why the esports player may have been deported from the country, people online have been speculating, and the most viable reason appears to be that he was in Denmark with a work visa. Some believe getting disqualified from the tournament voided it.

Exploring the possible reasons for Epic Games to disqualify BuckeFPS from Fortnite Global Championship

While it is unclear at this moment why Epic Games decided to disqualify BuckeFPS, the player seems to think that it was because he changed the digital vibrancy settings on his PC, which is against the tournament rules. Viewers have confirmed that they saw him do it while streaming.

Bucke, as he is called by most of his community, has boarded a plane back to NA. Considering that the Fortnite Global Championship has already started, the Twitch streamer will not be competing in it after all.

Another possible reason for the ban appears to be that he was allegedly smoking and drinking in places that didn't permit such actions. Some have also noted that the disqualification may have been because of his controversial comments about an Epic employee.

Regardless, fans have called out the organizers for his disqualification, with many supporting him. Here are a couple of general reactions from X to this development.
