Professional Dota 2 player Anton “Dyrachyo” Shkredov recently encountered an unexpected disruption to his online presence: a ban on the streaming platform Twitch. This incident occurred while Shkredov was live broadcasting his perspective and commentary on the ongoing Riyadh Masters 2025 tournament.
The timing of the ban was particularly notable, striking during the second map of a highly anticipated match between BetBoom Team and Team Falcons. Shkredov`s stream, which was providing live coverage and analysis for his audience, abruptly ceased, leaving viewers mid-broadcast of a major esports event.
Reacting to the sudden interruption, Shkredov conveyed his hope for a swift resolution. He indicated that he anticipates being unbanned soon and wishes to resume his stream as quickly as possible to continue covering the tournament action.
As is often the case with actions taken by the platform, the specific reason behind this particular ban has not been publicly disclosed. The opaque nature of Twitch moderation decisions frequently leaves both streamers and their audiences speculating on the cause, adding a layer of mystery to the technical enforcement.
This temporary removal from the platform naturally impacts Shkredov`s ability to provide real-time commentary and reactions on one of the most significant tournaments in the Dota 2 calendar, leaving his dedicated viewership awaiting his return to the digital airwaves.
