Twitch cuts Mendo\u2019s ban short after xQc Fall Guys controversy Team Liquid\/TwitchFormer Overwatch professional Lucas \u2018Mendo\u2019 H\u00e5kansson has had his suspension reduced by Twitch after being banned for \u2018stream sniping\u2019 amid the controversy surrounding Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel. [jwplayer KD1gIhoh] Back on November 15, a Twitch Rival Fall Guys event was plunged into controversy when xQc was accused of stream sniping to get an advantage against a number of other streamers. The former Overwatch star was handed a seven-day ban from Twitch for his actions, and it wasn\u2019t long before other streamers \u2013 Mendo, Tfue, Nightblue3, and GrandPooBear \u2013 were also struck down with similar punishments. Tfue was the only one to escape a suspension from streaming, but the other three, just like xQc, were given a seven-day ban from Twitch, and a six-month ban from Twitch Rivals event, but Mendo has managed to have his shortened. Late in the day on November 21, the Team Liquid content creator noted that he\u2019d lodged an appeal against his week-long suspension and had managed to be successful in getting it overturned. \u201cAfter an appeal has been sent in I am no longer banned for \u201cStream Sniping\u201d, but rather for \u2018Targeted Harassment\u2019, not sure what this really means but the appeal reduced my suspension,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cMy initial 7-day suspension has been reduced to 3 days instead. See you when I\u2019m unbanned :D\u201d The streamer did add that he was still suspended from Twitch Rivals events for the next six months, just like his fellow streamers, but he\u2019d be free to return to Twitch on November 22 at around 1 pm ET\/10 am PT. After an appeal has been sent in I am no longer banned for “”Stream Sniping”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
