Summary

In verse if you subscribe to a FortCharacter’s EliminatedEvent, you will get events when that FortCharacter is eliminated.

When Player A gets eliminated by Player B using the Kinetic Blade, it causes the next EliminationEvent against Player B, caused by Player A to not fire.

The DamagedEvent DOES still fire in this condition.
