14 Year Old Fortnite Pro Permanently Banned From Twitch

In the past few months, Twitch has handed out indefinite bans to a plethora of its streamers. This includes big names like xQc, Dr Disrespect, Neymar Jr., NRG Clix, and many others. The latest streamer to be a part of this unfortunate list is a 14-year-old Fortnite pro.

Advyth originally received an indefinite ban in January for allegedly using ‘hateful slurs’ during a stream. Ever since, he tried to contact Twitch multiple times and had been eagerly waiting for a response.

Following months of pleading, Advyth used an alternative account to stream and evade the previous ban. Apparently, this violates Twitch’s guidelines and has resulted in a permanent ban for the Fortnite pro.

Bugha claimed Twitch has treated his fellow Fortnite pro unfairly:

that’s just not fair

On the flip side, C9 Avery and Team Liquid’s Stretch expected Advyth to be aware of the severe consequences of evading Twitch bans:

Bro what why would you ban evade

im ngl worst thing you could do streaming on an alt idk how no one told you not to now ur chances of getting unbanned are pretty much 0%

Fortnite pro Advyth severely affected by Twitch ban

Just like many other young players, Advyth looks forward to building his career as a Fortnite pro. He is certainly one of the most talented players in the competitive scene right now, and even Bugha had hosted him in one of his streams. The World Cup winner does not host other creators usually, and Advyth’s potential is the only reason he got this opportunity.

Big organizations hire players based on their gameplay available online. As a result, content creation is equally important for aspiring professional players.

Advyth talked about the same in a tweet:

YALL CANT EVEN COMPREHEND HOW HARD THIS BAN IS FUCKING ME RN, TALENT/ORG MANAGERS FOR DIFFERENT HAMES LITERALLY LOOK AT STREAMERS GAMEPLAY BEFORE THEY SIGN THEM BRO, HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSE TO HAVE A FUTURE IN ESPORTS OFF THIS LMAO?!!?! ANY GAME I TOUCH WILL GO UNNOTICED.

Did Clix get special treatment from Twitch?

NRG eSports’ pro player Clix was recently banned from Twitch for accidentally showing explicit content on his stream. This led to a third strike on his channel, and eventually, a ban.

Clix’s fans around the world came together in his support and hashtags like #freeclix trended #1 on Twitter. Surprisingly, Twitch soon revoked the ban.

In contrast to this, Twitch still hasn’t revealed the apparent reason behind Advyth’s first ban. It has been a month already, and from the looks of it, this narrative will not change in the near future.

I understand clix got clout n connections but like how the fuck do you take 2 days to unban someone who was indefinitely banned on the 3rd suspension and fail to answer 3 appeals that I submitted more than a month ago simply just asking for permission to stream @TwitchSupport

It is worth noting that Dr Disrespect was one of the biggest streamers on Twitch when it suspiciously banned him. Hence, it might be an overstatement that the platform prioritizes popular streamers over small creators.
