CSGO star Fer speaks out following inexplicable Twitch ban via MiBR Twitter[jwplayer 3EyfiByz]Counter-Strike: Global Offensive star Fernando \u2018fer\u2019 Alvarenga responded to his Twitch channel ban and is looking for answers as to why the action against his account was taken. Fer is one of the most well-known Brazilian CS talents of all time. Lately, he\u2019s been getting a lot of traction in his Twitch streams, which consist of high-level CSGO matches that garner thousands of enthusiastic viewers. However, his broadcasts have come under scrutiny by onlookers and his own organization, MiBR, in the past for offensive or racist comments made while he was live on the air. \u274c Twitch Partner “”fer”” (@fer) has been banned! \u274chttps:\/\/t.co\/Xk9QNpArZV#twitch #ban #firstban #partner #twitchpartner \ud83d\udc6e \u2014 StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) June 30, 2020 Although he\u2019s faced action from his club for these incidents, the cause of his June 30 ban from the streaming platform has him confused. \u201cI woke up now and apparently I was banned from Twitch,\u201d fer said in a translated tweet. \u201cI received no message, no email explaining or stating the reason.\u201d The 28-year-old entry fragger later indicated that the ban would span seven days, a typical length for streamers without numerous strikes against their channels. Dexerto contacted fer for comment but did not receive a response. In his initial reaction, he said that his ban came as a surprise and didn\u2019t have information on how long it would be until much later. It\u2019s unclear why he could have received the ban, but public perception points to his alleged use of an offensive term during a June 29 stream. \u201cI think it\u2019s because he said \u2018m*ngoloid\u2019 on stream,\u201d one user wrote, speculating on the likely cause of fer\u2019s Twitch ban. \u201cIt\u2019s similar to \u2018r****ed\u2019 but toned down a lot, and apparently Twitch has been banning for that. It doesn\u2019t have anything to do with the racist comments.\u201d There are people who are split on the term\u2019s purpose or potential xenophobic connotations, but something on the border of racism in his predicament could have landed the final blow from the ban-hammer. An incident earlier in June led to MiBR imposing a fine on him for comments the org found could be \u201cinterpreted as having racial tones.\u201d Twitch did not take action on fer\u2019s channel. At the time, fer apologized for any sort of offense or meaning that could have been taken from his comments. \u201cI apologize if I somehow gave an impression of racism in my stream,\u201d he said of the comments that led to his fine. \u201cEveryone who knows me knows that I have no prejudice and that I am open to any kind of opinions and debates.\u201d Now that his channel has been banned, people are waiting on an official reason from either Twitch or fer once he gets word from the streaming company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
