Popular Streamer xQc Calls Out Twitch for Lack of Transparency in C9 Ziqo’s Suspension
Streamer xQc, who recently faced a suspension on Twitch, has criticized the platform for failing to provide C9 Ziqo with evidence of his offense. xQc claims that he received a VOD timestamp when he was suspended, and believes it is only fair for Ziqo to receive the same treatment.
Ziqo Receives a Ban without Clear Explanation
Last week, C9 Ziqo was handed a seven-day suspension for violating the Twitch Terms of Service. However, Twitch did not specify the exact offense and only mentioned that it involved the use of a hateful slur, according to Ziqo.
xQc, a former Overwatch League pro and another prominent streamer suspended from Twitch, has expressed his solidarity with Ziqo. He believes that Ziqo should receive a VOD timestamp to understand the severity of his offense. This request comes after xQc himself received a timestamp during his suspension.
Ziqo revealed in a recent video that the ban has negatively impacted him, affecting future opportunities and tarnishing his account’s reputation. This kind of suspension can have long-term consequences, especially if he faces another ban in the future.
A seven-day ban can be devastating for any streamer, leading to a decline in their built-up audience. Many believe that Ziqo did not deserve the ban and should be provided with a timestamp for the alleged offense to ensure transparency.
Ziqo suspects that he was banned based on a clip where he says “fuck it,” which may have been misheard as a derogatory slur. He also highlighted the mistaken ban of Forsen, another popular World of Warcraft streamer, for a similar misunderstanding.
Ziqo’s suspension is expected to end on Wednesday, Jan. 27. Currently, it appears that he will have to wait out the remainder of the ban.
