Twitch Rivals reportedly disqualifies ZLaner from Warzone tournament over Dr Disrespect cosplay Facebook: ZLanerWarzone streamer Zack \u2018ZLaner\u2019 Lane was all geared up to participate in the game\u2019s Twitch Rivals tournament on July 20, until Twitch reportedly told him he was \u201cnot eligible\u201d to compete. ZLaner has been one of the fastest growing Warzone streamers of late, in part thanks to his collaborations with Dr Disrespect, whom as we all know is blacklisted from Twitch like Voldemort is from Hogwarts. On July 20, just before the $75,000 Warzone Twitch Rivals tournament got started, ZLaner revealed on Twitter that he was told by the streaming site he was \u201cnot eligible for Twitch Rivals.\u201d I was pumped to run it up with @KaleiRenay & @ClutchBeIk today but received this message, day of\u2026 \u201cZLaner is not eligible for Twitch Rivals today\u201d \u2013 Twitch staff pic.twitter.com\/BPkOjRusZc \u2014 OpTic ZLaner (@ZLaner) July 20, 2021 There were all kinds of rumors flying around as to the reason why ZLaner was barred, including his affiliation with Dr Disrespect. Some Twitch staff even said it was because he wasn\u2019t a Twitch partner, but seeing as how he\u2019s an affiliate with the site, that explanation might not make sense.

It seems Twitch Rivals have made ZLaner ineligible to compete in their upcoming Warzone event\u2026 because of his Dr Disrespect cosplay What a frikin day on the timeline \u2014 Jake Lucky (@JakeSucky) July 20, 2021 Would Twitch really shut out ZLaner just because he streams with the Two Time though? Doc didn\u2019t say anything himself, but like any good friend he did retweet Lane\u2019s image of him in cosplay to make it clear he\u2019s got his duo\u2019s back. ZLaner did say recently that he wasn\u2019t even considering an option to stream exclusively with Twitch, because he wouldn\u2019t be able to stream with Doc anymore. Whether that had any bearing on the site\u2019s July 20 decision is unknown as well, but at this point there doesn\u2019t seem to be a concrete answer for why he was DQ\u2019d. This is still a developing story, and Dexerto has reached out to both ZLaner and Twitch for comment, and if either knows the exact reason he can\u2019t compete. As soon as we have more info we\u2019ll update this article, so check back soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
