Overwatch star Dafran explains why he was banned from Twitch Daniel \u2018Dafran\u2019 Francesca, former Overwatch League pro and Twitch partner, has received a thirty-day ban on his Twitch channel. He is planning an appeal. Twitch has dropped the banhammer once again. The popular Overwatch pro-turned-streamer is facing a thirty-day ban on his Twitch channel. \u274c Twitch Partner “”dafran”” (@dafran) has been banned! \u274chttps:\/\/t.co\/txSsKCWBpX#twitch #ban #firstban #partner #twitchpartner \ud83d\udc4e\ud83c\udfff \u2014 StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) November 13, 2019 Dafran responded on his own Twitter account, confirming the 30-day length and informing his followers that he will try to appeal the ban. As for a reason, dafran says it is due to his \u201cignorance,\u201d admitting that it stems from saying \u201cstupid s**t all the time.\u201d What are the potential reasons for the ban? The exact reason for the dafran ban is unknown, but there are a few theories. Some fans say it was because the streamer told an off-meta support to \u201ckill themselves\u201d during an Overwatch game he was streaming. https:\/\/twitter.com\/mulbGG\/status\/1194676169800605697 Others allege that he was laughing at \u2018race jokes\u201d while on stream. Unfortunately, due to his channel being offline, any clips of these alleged incidents currently don\u2019t exist. The ban could also relate to a completely different event altogether. If his comments toward the off-meta support player are accurate, it wouldn\u2019t be the first time that dafran has lashed out on his stream. In the past week, he exploded with rage at the tail end of a defeat, raining down expletives on top of his teammates and imploring them to uninstall the game. Just before that, he went off on a profanity-laced rant toward a viewer who claimed the streamer was \u201cnot their hero anymore.\u201d Whether or not dafran returns to Overwatch after his most recent ragequit remains to be seen, as does the outcome of dafran\u2019s ban appeal. He most recently played competitively for the Atlanta Reign in the latest season of the Overwatch League. He announced his competitive retirement in March. We will provide updates with more information regarding the ban and the appeal as that info becomes available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
