The former self-proclaimed \u2018Face of Twitch\u2019 was mysteriously banned from Twitch following his new multi-year contract extension with the Amazon-owned platform in June 2020. With no explanation behind the reasoning of the ban being made public, fans of the Two-Time champion were left in the dark \u2013 until Dr Disrespect returned to streaming, but this time on YouTube Gaming. Almost two years since his ban, the creator has revealed his legal dispute with Twitch is now over. Dr Disrespect &#038; Twitch \u201cresolve\u201d legal dispute In a tweet on March 10, he said: \u201cI have resolved my legal dispute with Twitch. No party admits to any wrongdoing.\u201d However, fans are still left without any explanation as to what happened in the first place \u2013 leading to the permanent ban. Is Dr Disrespect back on Twitch? With the legal dispute resolved, many people asked if they would see Dr Disrespect back on Twitch as a result. Though, Doc quickly shut down any speculation over his future. \u201cIn response to all your questions, the Doc will not return to Twitch,\u201d said Dr Disrespect in a follow-up tweet. In response to all your questions, the Doc will not return to Twitch \u2014 Dr Disrespect (@DrDisrespect) March 10, 2022 Twitter reactions: Dr Disrespect &#038; Twitch end legal dispute NICKMERCS With Twitch\u2019s Terms of Service stating streamers are unable to play with banned users, many of the Doc\u2019s friends haven\u2019t been able to play with him on stream. As legal proceedings have concluded, NICKMERCS jumped right to the chase, asking if Dr Disrespect would like to play Apex Legends. TimTheTatman Friend and fellow streamer TimTheTatman was also among the many to react to the Doc\u2019s announcement. Though, he was confused about what it meant for the future. \u201cI think it\u2019s good news right? It\u2019s really vague, I don\u2019t know,\u201d said Tim during his stream. \u201cI just don\u2019t know \u2013 I\u2019ll tell you what man, nothing would make me happier if I, NICKMERCS, and Dr Disrespect can all play together. That\u2019d be sick.\u201d Why did Dr Disrespect get banned on Twitch? Shortly after Dr Disrespect\u2019s ban, Twitch sent out an official statement. It says: \u201cAs is our process, we take appropriate action when we have evidence that a streamer has acted in violation of our Community Guidelines or Terms of Service. These apply to all streamers regardless of status or prominence in the community.\u201d Nevertheless, no actual explanation was given as to what Dr Disrespect did that warranted the ban. A day after his suspension from Twitch on June 27, the Doc broke his silence with a statement on Twitter: \u201cChampions Club, Twitch has not notified me on the specific reason behind their decision. Firm handshakes to all for the support during this difficult time.\u201d Champions Club, Twitch has not notified me on the specific reason behind their decision\u2026 Firm handshakes to all for the support during this difficult time. -Dr Disrespect \u2014 Dr Disrespect (@DrDisrespect) June 28, 2020 The reason behind the ban has never been made public, potentially due to legal proceedings. While Doc may have shut the door on a return to Twitch immediately after the dispute ended, other major streamers will be hoping they can connect with him soon \u2013 as will their fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Disrespect and Twitch settle legal dispute over ban Instagram: drdisrespect \/ TwitchAfter being banned from Twitch in the Summer of 2020, streaming star Guy \u2018Dr Disrespect\u2019 Beahm has revealed his legal dispute with the company is finally over.
