Aimbot video leads to lifetime ban for popular Fortnite pro

Jarvis Khattri offers an emotional apology after being banned from Fortnite.

Jarvis Khattri has built a significant part of his 17-year-old life around Fortnite. The UK-based player has attracted over 2 million followers on YouTube in just a couple of years, and he signed with the esports monolith FaZe Clan for competitive play in April.
