Twitch bans Smash pro bobby big ballz after drinking and driving on stream Twitch\/Twitter\/chickenman400Twitch has banned Super Smash Bros Melee pro \u2018bobby big ballz\u2019 after he was caught drinking wine while driving on stream. Falco main bobby big ballz is one of the top Melee players around, frequently finishing in the top 16 in Team Liquid and Hungrybox\u2019s Coinbox tournament series, but he may not be able to compete anymore. On September 5, the Smash Melee star was streaming on Twitch where he drove to the store, bought some wine and proceeded to drink while he was still in the car driving. This caused an uproar in the community with many users demanding Twitch take action. Sure enough, only a few hours later, the Amazon-owned streaming platform hit the Smash pro with a seemingly permanent ban for violating its community guidelines. Smash pro banned for drinking and driving on stream In the afternoon on September 5, bobby big ballz addressed the controversy, admitting that he was wrong while remaining adamant that he wasn\u2019t drunk. \u201cSurely one singular sip of my 12% wine on my 3 minute drive home from 711 doesn\u2019t classify as drunk driving,\u201d he said. \u201cAs a streamer I\u2019m wrong and will take responsibility for my actions. If the community wants to ban me I will humbly oblige. I am not a role model please don\u2019t accept my internet personality as such.\u201d The streamer went on to say that drinking helps him \u201ccope\u201d with life, but added that he wasn\u2019t trying to make excuses. Currently, Bobby\u2019s Twitch account says: \u201cThis channel is currently unavailable due to a violation of Twitch\u2019s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.\u201d Although it hasn\u2019t been confirmed by Twitch, in the past, this message has indicated that as channel has been permanently suspended. If it is, then this could be the end of Bobby\u2019s professional career, as tournaments would not be able to broadcast his matches without risking a ban themselves. This is hardly the first time a streamer has been suspended for making poor decisions while driving. Earlier this year, a Polish streamer ran over a dog with her car after she was distracted by chat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
