S1mple banned again on Twitch for fourth time over \u201caggression\u201d CS:GO star Oleksandr \u2018s1mple\u2019 Kostyliev has apparently been banned again on Twitch, for his fourth time in total on the platform. The Ukrainian is the star of Natus Vincere\u2019s CSGO squad and generally considered one of the best CS:GO players in the entire world, but even that isn\u2019t enough to save you from the wrath of Twitch mods. S1mple is no stranger to temporary bans from the site, and it seems he added to his tally again on Oct. 30, with his channel being taken offline out of nowhere. It seems that like in the past, the pro has once again been banned for using a slur while streaming, but this latest episode isn\u2019t quite like the others. \u274c Twitch Partner “”s1mple”” (@s1mpleo) has been banned! \u274chttps:\/\/t.co\/yhtBxArv7H#twitch #ban #fourthban #partner #twitchpartner \ud83d\udd33 \u2014 StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) October 30, 2020 Shortly after news of the ban dropped, s1mple Tweeted that he was banned for using a Russian slur, but he claims he only said it because he was upset with another player for saying it on his stream. \u201cIt\u2019s funny that I get banned for aggression towards a person that says the word \u201cPidor\u201d and specifically tries to ban me on the platform,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI try to condemn him for this and say the forbidden word because I have a negative attitude towards it (because of rules).\u201d While s1mple filled fans in on why he was banned, he didn\u2019t mention how long he would be off of the platform for. Looking at his past infractions though, and it\u2019s safe to say he\u2019s probably looking at a 7-day break, at the very least. The site has been known to ban repeat offenders for longer if they continue to get in hot water for the same thing, but considering how big of a name s1mple is and the circumstances surrounding this particular incident, it\u2019s hard to say. It\u2019s funny that I get banned for aggression towards a person that says the word “”Pidor”” and specifically tries to ban me on the platform and I try to condemn him for this and say the forbidden word because I have a negative attitude towards it (because of rules) \u2014 Sasha (@s1mpleO) October 30, 2020 A good number of his fans noted that Twitch was quick to ban the Na\u2019Vi pro after he slipped up, but still haven\u2019t taken action against any one of the countless channels that rebroadcast s1mple\u2019s streams to try and steal viewers. Still, the pro doesn\u2019t seem so much bothered by the ban as he does annoyed, which makes sense because he doesn\u2019t really need to stream so to speak, considering all the money he\u2019s made playing CS:GO professionally. That doesn\u2019t really help his fans though, who will have to find someone else to watch while they wait for his return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
