Former Overwatch Pro Dellor Returns to Streaming on YouTube with 20,000 Viewers
Matthew “Dellor” Vaughan, a well-known streamer and former Overwatch pro, has made a comeback on YouTube after being banned from Twitch. To everyone’s surprise, his return stream attracted a staggering 20,000 viewers.
The Reason for Dellor’s Twitch Ban
Dellor’s ban on Twitch stemmed from an incident where he smashed a keyboard over his head in frustration while playing Apex Legends. This act of self-harm led to his permanent ban due to multiple strikes on his account.
A Welcome Return on YouTube
After being relatively silent on social media, Dellor revealed on October 3 that he had voluntarily admitted himself to a hospital for therapy and treatment. On October 6, he made an unannounced debut on YouTube’s streaming platform to test out his broadcast. By the end of his stream, he had garnered 20,000 viewers and briefly became the top streamer on the site. This unexpected success on YouTube has given Dellor a renewed sense of hope, especially after losing his Twitch account.
A Promising Future on YouTube
While these viewer numbers may have been boosted by Dellor’s highly-anticipated return, it is still a positive sign for his streaming career. Although Twitch is undoubtedly the most popular streaming platform, YouTube provides an excellent alternative for streamers seeking a second option.
