Gotaga unbanned from Twitch early after fans rally behind him Instagram: GotagaPopular streamer and former Call of Duty professional Corentin \u2018Gotaga\u2019 Houssein was banned from Twitch on June 21, but has been unbanned in under 10 hours. Despite boasting one of the biggest accounts on Twitch, one of France\u2019s most recognizable content creators was suspended from the platform for unknown reasons. Gotaga was handed his ban on June 21, with many suspecting it came as a result of DMCA strikes. This marks Gotaga\u2019s only offense on the Amazon-owned platform, having never received a suspension or ban prior. \u274c Twitch Partner \u201cGotaga\u201d (@GotagaTV) has been banned! \u274chttps:\/\/t.co\/f4NyHGwsaJ#twitch #ban #firstban #partner #twitchpartner \ud83d\udcc1 \u2014 StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) June 22, 2021 However, early on June 22, his account was reinstated, having been suspended for just over nine hours. Gotaga responded: \u201cTHANKS FOR THE #FREEGOTAGA. Without you, not sure that I would have been unbanned so quickly. Will go live tonight to talk about it.\u201d MERCI POUR LE #FREEGOTAGA \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffd\u2764\ufe0f Sans vous, pas sur que j\u2019aurais \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9ban aussi rapidement. On se retrouve en live ce soir pour en parler, sur Twitch du coup \ud83e\udd78 https:\/\/t.co\/guLlIKHrZ8 \u2014 M8 Gotaga (@Gotaga) June 22, 2021 Closing in on three million followers, Gotaga\u2019s Twitch presence was among the biggest in his region. Known now for his variety content on the platform, often streaming a wide range of titles like Rocket League and Minecraft, Gotaga was previously a respected Call of Duty pro. The 27-year-old competed for roughly five years. Half of this time was spent under the Team Vitality banners while traveling to international LAN events. The \u2018French Monster\u2019 ultimately hung up the sticks after the Black Ops 3 cycle in 2016. However, Gotaga has continued to dip his toes in the CoD scene ever since. Appearances in minor regional events and Twitch Rivals broadcasts have kept him active in the local CoD community. As to why he was banned on Twitch, many of his viewers and even fellow streamers have pointed towards a likely DMCA strike. This ban comes just days after warning that record label takedowns would continue to skyrocket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
