On 11th September, Nairoby “Nairo” Quezada, the disgraced Smash Bros player, was banned from Twitch.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, he is no longer partnered with Twitch, which makes it highly probable that this ban is permanent and his Twitch streamer career is over.<\/p>\n

A former member of NRG Esports, Nairo fell out of favour with the Smash community earlier this summer when fellow Smash Ultimate player CaptainZack accused Nairo of engaging in a sexual relationship with him while the former was underage.<\/a><\/p>\n
The accusation was one of several that came out of the Smash community in July of this year when a resurgent #MeToo movement swept gaming and esports.<\/p>\n

He was also banned from participating in events held by the major tournament organisers of the FGC<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Now it seems that Twitch has decided they too no longer want to give him a platform, with Twitter account StreamerBans reporting on the 10th September that Nairo’s account had been banned and his partner status revoked.<\/p>\n

There is no official reason given (Twitch never share that information), but his ban follows others, such as Brad “BlessRNG” Jolly and “SayNoToRage” who were banned from the platform<\/a> after accusations were leveled against them.<\/p>\n
Nairo, most famously known for his Smash 4 and Ultimate tournament placings, burst into the scene with Brawl (released in 2008), becoming one of the top Meta Knight players in the world, maintaining a level of consistency, becoming a Top 10 player across different titles for the subsequent years with a wide array of characters that also included Zero Suit Samus and Palutena.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
