In the past, Twitch have been sued by influencer \u2018Phantoml0rd\u2019 in 2018, a serial lawsuit filer in 2020, and most recently, Dr Disrespect. Even though Twitch won the 2020 lawsuit when it was denied by a judge, Phantoml0rd didn\u2019t win his case until three grueling years had passed, claiming he was wrongfully banned on the platform due to Counter-Strike gambling crackdowns. Why did Phantoml0rd get banned? James \u2018PhantomL0rd\u2019 Vargas was banned clear back in 2016 for, according to Twitch, misleading viewers in regards to skin gambling in CS:GO. The streamer completely denied this, leading him to sue the site for $35 million in damages for removing him from the platform over \u201cunsubstantiated, false accusations.\u201d With their legal battle starting in 2019, it had been 3 years since his initial suspension from the platform. Since he was barred from streaming after his ban, he decided to make his lawsuit more about future issues streamers may have. Months after announcing his lawsuit win in April, Phantoml0rd posted a Twitlonger describing another step he is taking. The streamer pushed harder and requested that the California court enforce Twitch to change how it hands out bans. Judge will rule on the future of how Twitch disciplines\/bans streamers: Read: https:\/\/t.co\/p5Lck8J8Nh \u2014 PhantomL0rd (@PhantomL0rd) July 2, 2021 Dr Disrespects ban and lawsuit On June 26 2020, just months after signing an exclusive contract with Twitch, the Two-Time\u2019s channel completely disappeared. Reports started being released about his channel disappearing, including theories around why his account was suddenly banned. The day after his account disappeared, Doc released a tweet explaining that Twitch had not told him why he was banned. 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 leader of the Champions Club continued his silence about the topic for just over a year before finally talking about it on stream. In his August 23 stream, the Doc claimed the ban had affected him financially before stating that he did, in fact, know why he was banned from the platform, and is now suing them because of it. \u201cThere\u2019s a reason why, and I\u2019ll just say this right now champs \u2014 there\u2019s a reason why we\u2019re suing the f**k out of em, ok?\u201d he stated. \u201cI don\u2019t know how else to put it, the amount of damages, and you just don\u2019t\u2026 nah.\u201d \ud83d\udea8 @DrDisrespect says he knows the reason for his Twitch ban and is planning to sue Twitch over it pic.twitter.com\/fU8v6YqPKV \u2014 Dexerto (@Dexerto) August 23, 2021 Phantoml0rd offers Doc his help Having won his lawsuit against Twitch in April 2021, Phantom more than likely still has the court proceedings fresh in his mind, and wants to help Dr Disrespect with his situation. The day Phantom won his lawsuit, he posted: \u201cThis is a win for ALL streamers! Twitch can\u2019t bully, lie &#038; treat streamers unfairly the way they have for years!\u201d Now, he wants Doc to reach out to his legal team to help with his interest in suing Twitch. https:\/\/twitter.com\/PhantomL0rd\/status\/1430882981334462464?s=20 While we still don\u2019t know the reasons behind Dr Disrespect\u2019s ban, the Doc made it clear that he does \u2013 and he\u2019s not happy with it. Being that he already seems fairly confident with his lawsuit, though, we\u2019re left to wonder if he will actually take Phantoml0rd\u2019s offer for help.
