Rubius: Why did Twitch mysteriously ban streamer for the second time?

Rubius has not yet released a statement on facing suspension

MADRID, SPAIN: In a puzzling turn of events, famous Spanish streamer Rubius faced another unexpected Twitch suspension, marking his second ban within the past year. Although the suspension has since been lifted, the cause behind this temporary setback on the platform remains a mystery. With an impressive following of over 14 million Twitch followers, Rubius has solidified his position as one of the most popular Spanish-speaking streamers.

While widely recognized for his skillful gameplay in CS:GO, Rubius recently shifted his focus to exploring the captivating realm of 'Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom,' captivating his audience with his adventures in Hyrule. Regrettably, on May 18, fans of Rubius were abruptly deprived of the opportunity to join him in his virtual journey as the streamer was unexpectedly hit with an unforeseen Twitch ban.

Rubius faces second unexplained Twitch ban

According to the latest information from StreamerBans, Rubius, the famous streamer, was mysteriously banned on Twitch on May 18, 2023. The reason behind the suspension remains undisclosed, although speculations arose among fans that it could be connected to his unauthorized co-streaming of the BLAST Premier CS:GO major, as he was watching the event before the ban. However, these assumptions are yet to be confirmed.

Merely five hours after the ban was enforced, it was unexpectedly overturned. Rubius' Twitch account has now been reactivated, allowing the streamer to resume streaming.

This incident marks Rubius' second encounter with a Twitch ban following a previous suspension in November 2022. The earlier ban occurred due to a misunderstanding with SEGA, resulting in a copyright strike on his channel for playing Sonic Frontiers before its official release. However, the November ban was swiftly resolved, with his Twitch account being reinstated the same day, enabling him to resume streaming.

'Wait wtf why did twitch ban and unpartner rubius?!

Fans of Rubius were quick to take on social media to express their views regarding the ban. One user wrote, "Rubius says SEGA gave him permission to play with no embargo today and then proceeded to ban him off Twitch anyway." Another user expressed their frustration saying, "wait wtf why did twitch ban and unpartner rubius?!" Another fan wrote, "why did rubius get a twitch ban?"
