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:

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

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:

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.

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.
