This marks the first time the streamer has spoken out publicly about his suspension, and it raises questions as to why he has yet to be told the reason behind his removal from Twitch.
His tweet echoes a similar statement from his wife ‘Mrs Assassin,’ which she posted to her Instagram Stories on June 26, a few hours after the news of the ban initially broke.
She also thanked the Champions Club, stating that their “love, support, strength, and kindness” has been “overwhelming,” and that there’s “no one better.”

That said, fans have been receiving emails from Twitch to notify them of subscription refunds. His emotes have also reportedly been removed entirely, fueling the fire around the speculation of it being a permanent suspension.
