1win Series Dota 2 Summer Broadcast Issues
Throughout the first three days of the tournament, 1win Series encountered several issues with Twitch. According to the tournament organizers, multiple broadcast channels were banned without any reasoning provided by the platform.
1win Series Official Statement:
“On the debut day of the 1win Series Dota 2 Summer, one of our main channels was blocked. We immediately used the backup channel and started broadcasting on it. There were no problems until the end of the matches.
On the same day, we filed an appeal to unblock the channel, and at the time of publishing this text, Twitch had not made a decision.
On the second day of the 1win Series Dota 2 Summer, our backup channel was blocked. Similar to the previous time, we filled out an official form and are waiting for a response from the site.”
As the tournament moved into the finals day, the situation remained unclear regarding Twitch, hence the broadcast moved to YouTube and Kick.
