So, this weekend a bunch of CS:GO streamers were banned from Twitch and served DMCA takedown notices by the company producing the Berlin Major, StarLadder.
One of them was popular CS streamer and personality fl0m. I talked to him about what happened, looked at what StarLadder’s rules and regulations actually say about this and ask the question: Where do we go from here?

Meanwhile alinity is throwing cats
really making a video about this?………………
Starladder banned themselves on twitch lmfao how dumb can you be
It is simple to solve: replace and ban Star Ladder. GO Tv rules should be like Dota Tv.
Starladder fucking things up, aks about the pubg open league qualifier last weekend. ABSOLUTE TRASH admins and refree's. I can only see bad things about starladder right now. Been following starladder through alot but what the hell are they doing??
They put more eyes on flom and his stream than just leaving him alone ever would have gotten em
LOL LOOKS LIKE STARLADDER WONT BE HOSTING ANYMORE MAJORS GOOD JOB
HELLO STARLADDER? GABEN HERE. LAST MAJOR
2:20 holy FUCK now i know why his webcam only shows the side of his face, he is one ugly mother fker xD
I hope valve crushes starladder for this in the end they are the rulers and starladder is dependent on them.. (csgo, dota2)
The observers on this major are idiots, and now yo boys at Starladder ban people on twitch undiscriminently?
people banned are just privileged leeches.
Because everyone did it before we have the right to do it..
4:42 ooh fak pelaajatcom got banned :DDD
Didn’t AdmiralBulldog got into trouble for doing the same with Dota 2?
I don’t remember clearly but he did got a warning from the org.
Starladder shouldnt get any majors to be hosted anymore. #FUCKSTARLADDER
#FreePelaajatcom
This actually made me so angry over the past few days, honestly a company like starladder should not host a csgo major ever again or any tournament in the Esports scene … pathetic
They stream it on twitch for free though
I mean honestly I think the perfect resolution for streaming is 720p @ 60fps. (And boo to Starladder!)
CSGO is valve's least favourite child, statement most likely not coming out since they don't care
This is simple, star ladder streams their events, and wants viewers on their channel watching it. What does flom expect, he’s stealing their viewers and potential revenue. As for flom saying this should be made more clear and you shouldn’t have to dig around their site to find the rules. You’re literally re broadcasting a huge event, you do this to ufc or wwe or anything, they aren’t going to be happy about it. It’s not their responsibility to make sure the rules are posted in huge bold letter on the main page of their website, common sense would say reach out and ask if it is allowed. I’ve never streamed and I’ve never re broadcasted anything, I have no knowledge of the rules. That being said I figured it would be common sense that your now allowed to do this, I would reach out and ask before jeopardizing my huge twitch channel.
They do not own GOTV, they don't own CS:GO. How hard is it for these retards do understand this?
Just came to say your thumbnail is trash.
We need to boycott starladder
Waiting for Valve's statement about this.
Completly unproffessional from Starladder. They couldve just advised you freindly to take the stream down instead of banning instandly. Grow up jeez x)
Name of the song in the outro?
Congrats for 900k subs!
This can really end the community
Money leecher starladder ? I thought watching stream is free?
Starladder sound like another cock hungry company.
CoughsSorry I mean money, money hungry company.103 StarLadder employees were duressed into disliking this video
So you are pouting because you are stealing content and profiting with it and they banned you for that? "They" have no obligation of saying what you can or can not stream when it is clearly written on their statues.
Learn to take an L and don't use the argument "it was never necessary" because that is stupid, and there is no Grey area like the video says, you are in the wrong and just because you usually don't get banned doesn't make it right
1 mill soon whoooo
Lol ban streamers for streaming Major tournaments legit…..n don't even ban cheaters in csgo… lol ?
This makes no sense as People streamed the international dota2 games, this happened with ESL and DOTA2 and VALVe stepped up and stopped it.
what confuse me is that we bought CS GO 14.99USD. SO we have the right to do what ever we want we have the right cuz VALVE told us this the first time we bought the game so WTF valve????
fuxk starLADDER major. GOOD BYE STARLADDER
