Leon ‘Khanada’ Khim, a competitive Fortnite player who recently joined Built By Gamers, saw his first YouTube broadcast ended instantly after the former TSM pro was looking for a new platform to broadcast after his account was banned on Twitch.
Khanada is running out of options when it comes to platforms on which he can broadcast live. The newest high-profile recruit from Built By Gamers generated a lot of enthusiasm around his first YouTube stream, where he also announced that he would join the organization.
With more than 144,000 subscribers on YouTube, many viewers would certainly be tuned in, except that almost 25 minutes later, the stream was inexplicably closed.
“Bro, I just got banned for nothing,” Khanada tweeted. “Everyone hates me. I can be the most unlucky person to play streaming. Anyway, thanks to everyone who attended the stream, it means a lot. I’ll try to fix this as soon as possible and let you know when my next stream [is]. “
There was a lot of hype surrounding Khanada’s first YouTube broadcast.
At this point, it is unclear exactly what caused the problem that caused YouTube to turn off the broadcast. When attempting to click on any link that leads to it, users now receive a message that says, “This video has been removed for violating YouTube’s Community Guidelines.”
What makes things a little more confusing is that this appears to be the only content on Khanada’s YouTube page that has been removed; the dozens of other videos he has published in the past two years still exist on the page, along with his verification status.
“In fact, I missed streaming so much just to get it out of my hands,” Khim added on Twitter after appealing to YouTube game director Ryan ‘Fwiz’ Wyatt.
Khanada is the latest big name recruit for Built By Gamers.
What the Fortnite player is probably alluding to in the last tweet is the fact that not only was his attempt to broadcast on YouTube unsuccessful, but he was also banned from broadcasting on Twitch.
In September, the TSM ex-man was hit with an indefinite suspension and, after a lengthy appeals process, he revealed that Twitch had not moved from his original decision, stating that they “do not cancel the suspension of accounts for this level of abuse. “
The “abuse” they referred to is due to the original reason for the suspension; the platform believed Khanada was “making threats”, despite his claims that it was just small talk in the game, and nothing he has done so far has been able to persuade them otherwise.
GGS will not be unbanned and will come out of that then and I will see what I can do on other platforms pic.twitter.com/77p1hk3TNX
