Fortnite Pro Huty Dropped by FLC After FNCS Globals Incident

Fortnite pro David “Huty” Kochet is already without an organization just days after joining FLC. The organization has ended its relationship with the 20-year-old Czech player effective immediately, pointing in part to his behavior during the 2026 FNCS Global Championship in Antwerp, where Huty was caught making a middle-finger gesture toward the broadcast camera.

FLC made clear, however, that the incident at Globals was not the only factor behind the decision. The organization also referred to “additional elements” that had recently been brought to its attention and made public, without explaining exactly what those concerns were.

The timing makes the situation even more unusual. Huty had only joined FLC on September 25, 2026, one day before the FNCS Global Championship began.

Huty Flips Off the Camera During FNCS Broadcast

The incident took place during the FNCS Global Championship in Antwerp.

When the official broadcast cut to Huty, the player made a middle-finger gesture toward the camera. The moment was immediately visible to viewers watching the event and quickly spread across social media afterward.

The gesture sparked discussion during the tournament itself.

Huty competed at Globals alongside F1shyX. The duo was one of 50 teams to qualify for the event and played 12 matches for a share of the $2 million prize pool.

Their tournament did not go particularly well from a competitive standpoint.

Huty and F1shyX finished with 188 points, placing 34th out of 50 duos.

FLC Deliberately Waited Until the Tournament Ended

FLC said it intentionally chose not to address the situation publicly while FNCS Globals was still underway.

According to the organization, taking action during the event could have affected the duo’s preparation, focus, and chemistry during one of the biggest Fortnite tournaments of the year.

FLC also emphasized that F1shyX had no involvement in the matter.

The organization said it did not want his experience at the Global Championship to be disrupted by controversy surrounding his teammate.

FLC waited until the event concluded before making its decision public.

FLC Says Huty’s Conduct Did Not Match Its Values

The organization framed the decision around its standards for professional conduct.

FLC said it places a strong emphasis on respect, integrity, and exemplary behavior, both on stage and away from competition.

According to the statement, Huty’s actions did not meet those standards.

FLC specifically referenced what happened during the Global Championship, but also said that other information had recently come to light and was part of the decision.

The organization did not go into further detail.

That means it is not possible to reliably determine what, beyond the visible middle-finger gesture, contributed to Huty’s release.

Management Members Were Also Let Go

The fallout did not stop with Huty.

FLC also announced that it had parted ways with members of its management team who were involved in recruiting the player.

The organization did not identify those staff members by name.

It only stated that their decisions did not reflect the standards FLC expects internally.

That suggests the organization also reviewed how Huty was signed and whether proper judgment was used during the recruitment process.

FLC additionally apologized to members of its community who may have been disappointed by the signing and the way the situation unfolded.

Huty’s Time With FLC Lasted Less Than a Week

The entire situation developed in a matter of days.

Huty previously competed for Pandore Esport before moving to FLC shortly before the FNCS Global Championship.

His signing was announced on September 25.

Globals began on September 26.

By September 30, FLC had already ended the partnership.

That means Huty’s time with the organization lasted less than one week.

For now, the 20-year-old is once again without an esports organization.

It remains unclear whether or when he will sign with another team. Huty has also not publicly provided a detailed response to the “additional elements” mentioned by FLC.

What is clear is that his short stint with the organization ended immediately after FNCS Globals, and the publicly visible gesture during the broadcast was at least one of the factors FLC specifically cited when explaining the decision.
