On August 6, Dr Disrespect broke his streaming hiatus with a YouTube livestream, before revealing that the platform would be his new home. This follows the popular entertainer’s shocking permanent ban on Twitch in June for reasons still unknown.

In June, the streaming world was turned on its head when one of Twitch’s biggest personalities, Dr Disrespect, was suddenly removed from the website. Weeks later, fans are still no closer to understanding why the popular entertainer was banned permanently.

However, after an extended hiatus, the Two-Time Champion is finally back. On August 6, the gaming star made his return to streaming on the popular video platform YouTube with an unexpected livestream. He then announced it was also the new home for the Champions Club.
