Our take
The rapid removal of Huty by FLC, just five days after his signing, highlights the strict conduct standards enforced by major esports organizations. The fact that FLC also dismissed management staff involved in his recruitment suggests internal accountability measures are being applied beyond just the player.
Background
David “Huty” Kochet is a 20-year-old Czech competitive Fortnite player who partnered with F1shyX at the 2026 FNCS Global Championship in Antwerp, Belgium. The duo finished 34th out of 50 teams, earning 188 points across 12 matches.
The 2026 FNCS Global Championship was held at Antwerp’s Lotto Arena from September 26 through September 27, 2026, with 50 duos competing for a $2 million prize pool. Huty had previously departed from Pandore Esport before joining FLC.
