Apex Legends streamer banned after insulting Twitch VTuber over in-game spat Twitch \/ Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends streamer and Twitch Rivals competitor \u2018vampzyy\u2019 has been banned from the platform after a toxic episode aimed at a VTuber who \u2018spam finished\u2019 him in a match apparently got out of hand. Vampzyy took exception to VTuber \u2018Hambino,\u2019 who apparently \u201cspam finished [him] obnoxiously for like 30 seconds straight,\u201d singling him out in a match. While it\u2019s perfectly acceptable to use in-game, Vampzyy \u201cperceived it as a form of toxicity directed towards me personally\u201d when Hambino locked him in consecutive Finisher animations. After that, he went into Hambino\u2019s channel to reciprocate the toxicity, but it went too far for Twitch\u2019s liking. https:\/\/twitter.com\/Hamb1no\/status\/1395951812872654849 \u201cThis dude was invited to Twitch Rivals, a positive representation of Apex Players,\u201d Harimbo said of Vampzyy\u2019s retaliation. \u201cAnd he is out here coming into my chat while LIVE, after I spam finished him in a video game, attacking my looks, which encourages his viewers to come into my chat, and post hateful things like this.\u201d Shortly after Vampzzy was banned on Twitch. He told Dexerto the ban levied against him will keep his channel offline for seven (7) days. After Vampzzy and his Twitch Chat invaded the VTuber\u2019s channel, there were bad actors who posted hateful messages directed at the streamer for being LGBT, Hambino said. Once the situation had come to a head, Vampzzy defended himself by saying he was not the one to send hateful messages. Instead, those texts were sent by a member of his Chat. https:\/\/twitter.com\/vampzyy\/status\/1396008834796244995 \u201cI even DMed [Hamibo] personally, apologizing for saying rude things to him and admitting I lost my cool,\u201d Vampzzy said. \u201cWhat I did not do is say anything homophobic or anti LGBT and you can watch his vod as proof of that.\u201d Vampzzy said he reached out to the VTuber to square away the spat. After the failed attempt, the banned streamer accused Hambino of trying to escalate the ordeal after the fact. Twitch doesn\u2019t usually comment on bans, but Vampzzy is asking for a closer look into the matter since it could lead to more repercussions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
