team kill

Accidental ally elimination

Team kill refers to killing a teammate in a multiplayer video game, whether accidentally or deliberately.

Friendly fire that results in a teammate's death frustrates players and may trigger penalties in competitive games: I got kicked for too many team kills, That grenade was a team kill, my bad.

Often abbreviated TK.

The verb is to team-kill.
