Dr Disrespect Barred From Call Of Duty Tournament Likely Over Twitch Ban

The reason behind Dr Disrespect’s Twitch ban may still be a mystery, but it might also be affecting his eligibility for tournaments, as the popular streamer has been banned from competing in the upcoming Toronto Ultra Call of Duty tournament. This is ostensibly because the tourney will be streamed live on Twitch, and allowing the good Doctor to participate would violate the conditions of his ban.

Dr Disrespect’s digital drama started in June 2020 when Twitch suddenly banned the popular and often controversial streamer without explanation, a ban that has since been confirmed to be permanent and irrevocable. While the Doc had garnered a reputation for being brash, and was briefly banned by Twitch in the past for filming himself and others in a restroom at TwitchCon, the second ban was given without reason, and without an expiration date either. After a few months of speculation and silence, Doc resurfaced on YouTube to resume streaming, and while he’s offered insight on how the ban has affected him, both personally and professionally, to date there is no official reason why he has been permanently ousted from Twitch.

Doc has speculated on the reasoning behind his ban, but otherwise has largely moved on from Twitch and the whole debacle, until it became clear that the ban was going to affect his career beyond his ability to stream on the platform. Dr Disrespect and fellow streamer, Zack “ZLaner” Lane, with whom Doc has played Call of Duty: Warzone on YouTube, and last year’s Toronto Ultra Tournament winner, were expecting to participate in this year’s tournament. But as reported by Game Rant, ZLaner announced via livestream that, to his disappointment, Dr Disrespect would not be able to participate in the tournament.

“I got a message back from the organizers from Toronto Ultra and Call of Duty, they’re the ones pulling the tournament off, and they said Doc is not allowed.”

Doc, when asked about the issue, could only respond that he didn’t know why he wasn’t allowed to participate in the tournament, but it isn’t exactly a difficult connection to make. Twitch is the only platform handling the tourney’s official video livestream, and if Dr Disrespect participates in the tournament, Twitch would have no choice but to stream him, which would basically create a loophole in his ban. That loophole could be one he or other gamers who have been similarly banned could exploit in the future, and Twitch has enough of its own legal problems without creating the possibility for more. That is, of course, entirely speculation, but it is reasonable speculation, especially considering that Doc’s ban is still otherwise unexplained.

The Toronto Ultra Call of Duty: Warzone tournament kicks off tomorrow, March 1, at 1 PM EST, and is offering a first place prize of $100,000. ZLaner is still scheduled to play, but unfortunately, he will be doing so without the Doc.
