Evo Japan 2024’s Twitch streams were abruptly banned during the finale of Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, leaving viewers unsure of the reason behind the sudden shutdown. Speculation within the fighting game community suggested that the ban was triggered by an automated response due to unmoderated chat activity.
Fortunately, fans were able to switch to Evo Japan 2024’s YouTube live streams to catch the conclusion of the event. This marked the first time a champion was crowned for Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising at an Evo event, making it a significant moment for the community.
StreamerBans documented the ban on Twitch, revealing that it lasted only 41 minutes – the first ban for EvoJapan01 since tracking began in July 2019.
The official Evo Japan Twitter account later clarified that the ban was related to a “login issue” rather than the stream content itself. The issue was resolved, allowing Evo Japan to resume streaming on Twitch. Further details regarding the incident are expected to be announced at a later date.
In a statement released on Twitter, Evo Japan reassured viewers that the streaming accounts evojapan001/02/03 had been restored and apologized for any inconvenience caused. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of adherence to community guidelines to prevent future disruptions during events.
