Voyboy tweeted following the surprise ban, saying he had been live playing League just five minutes before he was banned.

As usual, Twitch has not provided any specific information regarding the ban, although fans speculate that it stems from DMCA strikes on Voyboy’s channel. Twitch has recently begun cracking down on DMCA violations, whether they come from recent streams or old clips on a channel.

Hundreds of streamers received infringement notices over the last month and were encouraged to look over their channels and remove any content that could be copyrighted.
