Following accusations of 'abusive behaviour' by the video games publisher, Kurt0411's chances of featuring in the Global Series this season are over

One of the most controversial personalities in FIFA competitive gaming, Kurt ‘Kurt0411’ Fenech, has announced his retirement from competitive play after EA Sports hit him with a two-month ban for ‘abusive behaviour’.

While the ban isn’t permanent, Kurt would miss a lot of crucial tournaments, making it near-impossible for him to qualify for the eWorld Cup next year.

The Maltese player does not believe his ban is due to his combative online behaviour, but rather his open criticism towards FIFA 19 and EA’s previous titles.
