Twitch streamer banned indefinitely after passing out drunk on camera LyndonFPS, Twitch \/ TwitterAs one of the net\u2019s most popular livestreaming platforms, H1Z1 player Lyndon \u2018LyndonFPS\u2019 Lauder was in the middle of a broadcast on May 23 when he began nodding off \u2013 which many viewers attributed to the tall glass of beer sitting on his desk. However, it wasn\u2019t necessarily the ban itself that surprised Lyndon\u2019s fanbase: rather, another streamer caught the ban happening during his own livestream in real time, leading to incredulous reactions from fans across the net. 600https:\/\/twitter.com\/LyndonFPS\/status\/1092175590541582336Streamer \u2018VADIKUS007\u2019 was one of the 400 plus viewers watching Lyndon sleep off his beer during the live broadcast \u2013 until his channel suddenly went offline. \u201cWhat?\u201d VADIKUS remarked. \u201cHe went offline. Staff is here\u2026 this channel has been suspended! Oh, shit. Get banned!\u201d While it was unlikely that Lyndon was banned simply for sleeping on camera, it is highly probable that the battle royale pro was suspended for blacking out due to drinking, which fans noted could be viewed as self-harm by Twitch staff. Lyndon\u2019s fanbase quickly took to Twitter to discuss his ban, with some viewers calling for an end to his suspension in light of other scandals on the platform. \u201cLyndon is suspended again?\u201d one user wrote. \u201cMan, leave that guy alone. #FreeLyndon\u201d \u201cLyndonFPS suspended again for drinking,\u201d another said of the matter. \u201cNo surprise, carry on.\u201d Update \u2013 May 24, 2019 (12:39pm ET) Twitch\u2019s ban for LyndonFPS is indefinite, as indicated in a tweet by him. This wouldn\u2019t be the first time a pro gamer has been banned from Twitch after passing out drunk during a livestream, either; Smash Bros Melee pro Joseph \u2018Mang0\u2019 Marquez had one too many drinks in celebration of the Philadelphia Eagles\u2019 victory at the NFL playoffs on January 6. Raising his Blue Moon into the air to commemorate the team\u2019s victory, Mang0 fell back in his chair, falling to the floor and out of the camera\u2019s view for around three minutes \u2013 ultimately resulting in a ban for \u201cdangerous consumption of drugs and alcohol.\u201d While Mang0 made several Tweets on the matter explaining his apparent blackout, Lyndon has yet to make a statement on his latest ban via social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
