• It was all the more surprising that Twitch banned him in June, so only three months later, forever.
• On the exact reasons for the ban commented neither Twitch nor the streamer. However, the latter has since legal action and is now in litigation with the platform. For this reason, he can not disclose any further information.
• About the real reasons, there is therefore only speculation. So it is suspected in places that Twitch after the exit of the competitor platform Mixer no longer saw sense in paying individual streamers so lucratively. Als wahrscheinlich gilt diese Theorie jedoch nicht.
