The Fortnite Guy

Mykal, better known online as The Fortnite Guy (initialized as TFG), is a YouTube news channel who covers the recent events about Fortnite and it's competitive players in the Fortnite: Battle Royale genre. Much like DramaAlert, he covers recent news and recent controversy but all in the Fortnite community.
==History==
Not much history is known about Mykal, but he started out The Fortnite Guy channel by showing trending battles inside Fortnite: Battle Royale. After a 5-month hiatus (unless if privated videos inside the 5 months), Mykal returned to YouTube and started posting videos regarding recent news and drama. His first popular news video was him covering the drama Neace attempting to gain success from Ninja, but failed thanks to Richard's (Ninja) wife Jessica. That video amassed over 1 million views and started to gain more exposure across the community later on.

===Encouraging a Hacker to ban Jonny tK===
On April 13, 2019, Mykal uploaded a video "Fortnite Pro BANNED for HACKING In The WORLD CUP", exposing Jonny tK for attempting to hack inside Fortnite's World Cup tournament. In the video, Mykal shows hacker CBV recording a conversation with Jonny about setting up the hacks (which later failed).
Eventually in the video, CBV Direct Messaged Mykal, claiming that Mykal will blur out anything to prevent the hacker's name being exposed. Mykal also asked CBV if he has given the hacks to Jonny yet for the expose video.https://twitter.com/Sammy_Jonah/status/1117564115688599553
Fans in the comments of the video and on Twitter have been saying that Jonny's ban was a set-up between Mykal and CBV (the hacker). Mykal made no response to the direct message and has blurred out the message using YouTube's new enhancements.
===Hit piece by Svennoss===
On July 8, 2019, professional Fortnite Player Svennoss broke his silence and made a long statement regarding Mykal
for spreading false information, rushing the videos, and being involved in every Fortnite community drama possible.https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1squldc
Svennoss's first point was The Effect Situation. He mentions how someone was going through a stressful time, but still made a clickbait video out of it and causing the individual more trouble and effect.https://www.reddit.com/r/OverwatchTMZ/comments/8z6lhu/mykl_jumping_at_the_chance_to_make_money_off
Next topic by Svennoss was the drama between Mykal and LG Kreo. Mykal made a video about LG Kreo in February, 2019
scamming users.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-MOX2cEvHQ Svennoss made a response stating that the information Mykal is explaining is inaccurate and does not fact-check his work. Svennoss also mentions that the research put in the video was poorly made by not providing any evidence about Noah (scammed kid with Kreo) trying to sell the account to Kreo.
Svennoss then mentions about Mykal making videos about a Fortnite player with heavy depression, a lot of issues to deal with, and just digging a deeper hole for this person while he's already feeling miserable. Svennoss mentions that Mykal is trying to make money off of the miserable person.
Svennoss also mentions that most of Mykal's fan-base are very young kids (roughly 12 years or younger), and uses it as a way to twist up or make up stories for the kids to understand and jump in the bandwagon.
On July 10, Mykal said he and Svennoss had messaged each other and saw each other's perspectives, but is now in good terms.https://twitter.com/The_FortniteGuy/status/1148899835958837248
