Requesting help to save the career of the esports caster.

My title is Mikhail; my nickname is Tom Amot. For the final 5 years I’ve been an expert caster of greater than 30 esports tournaments. I managed to cowl a collection of occasions for such Dota2 studios as Maincast, Weplay, UCC, I additionally labored immediately for Riot on Valorant tournaments and had been a solo-caster on different semi-pro tournaments. In all pauses between tournaments I used to be working rather a lot for my very own channel being a community-caster. It was my full-time job for the final 2,5 years, however now I’m not in a position to do that as a result of I used to be banned on Twitch. You possibly can learn my scenario within the hooked up picture.

Streaming of tournaments is my love, ardour, I really feel that it’s my vocation and the one factor I want to do in life. I’ve completed faculty, however I dwell in a small city, we don’t have any alternatives to develop or any perspective to make a profession. So being an esport caster is all for me, all that I would like and all that I can.

I’m very purposeful and may’t settle for the truth that I want to finish my profession, however, as all you realize, in case you are banned on Twitch, you couldn’t be invited to solid any match. Every other streaming service gives nothing for cybersport and nearly no person covers their tournaments wherever besides Twitch. So it’s the solely platform for an esports caster.

I by no means had any violations of the Phrases of Use. I admit that I used to be flawed in creating different issues earlier than fixing the primary, however nonetheless suppose it was a horrible misunderstanding and actually beg Twitch to know my scenario and save my profession.

Dear Twitch!
I am writing to you to inquire about the possibility of unblocking my account.
Note: I tried to contact technical support before and received a standard general response. I sincerely ask you to read it with the understanding that I fully grasp and accept that I was wrong, first of all I needed to solve the first problem before creating another. I never had any other violation, never spoke disrespectful to any person, I always tried my best and built a friendly community. Also it is my job, I have no other aspiration because I feel it is my vocation. So I need someone to help me, I will never forget it, and I will not break any rule and will do my best to be the human that fully corresponds to such a site as Twitch. I ask you for permission to continue my job. I need my first account or any of 3 to have some invites for tournaments and continue my career.
My name is Mikhail, and for the last 5 years I’ve been a professional caster of more than 30 esports tournaments (Dota2-5 years, Valorant-1 year). Due to some unfortunate events and misunderstanding I am completely unable to do it nowadays, but I sincerely hope to find any help and a way to continue work.At first, I had an account under the name “Pro_cast”, which I used to stream and comment Dota 2 matches, courtesy of Dota2tv. My streams were completely non-commercial, no advertising at all, even as said Dota2tv sold tickets for its tournaments – and all of it was completely fine, according to its own rules, which can be found on https://www.dota2.com/dotatv.
However, for some reason my account has got 3 strikes from Hitbox.tv and has been permanently banned since. After that, I struggled to argue the validity of such a decision. Technical support could not help me. I have tried to write some letters about DMCA and find a way to solve the problem, but did not get any reaction at all. I was not doing it with the counter-claim form because I didn’t find it at all, but I wrote twice with my #04760242, #12514578 case ID. It was also technically impossible to discuss the situation with representatives of Hitbox.tv, as their website and accounts ceased to exist shortly after that misunderstanding. I was completely confused and disappointed, as there was no way to solve the problem. I knew I was right according to Valve rules about streaming but just couldn’t prove it.
I deeply cared about my esports career. That is why I decided to create a new account and start everything from scratch, I thought that it is my only punishment. I used the same e-mail to register it, then named it “Pro_cast2”, because I had zero intention to hide from any technical checks – and at the moment I did not understand that such practice is considered unacceptable. My bad was that I didn’t solve the first problem, back there I was young, irresponsible and didn’t take it seriously.
I used my second account for a long time. I managed to restart my esports career and proceeded to stream and comment on a variety of professional tournaments. I devoted a huge amount of time to streaming and it became my full time job which I don’t want to lose, because it is my passion and love. But suddenly my second account also got banned – on 06/12/2020, for multi-account. Before the ban I had nearly 39 thousand of free subscribers. I tried to contact support with my case ID #04932806, #04817075. I thought I needed to clarify that I created this account because of a misunderstanding with my 1st account and not getting answered.
Being desperate to continue my work on the platform, I decided to create one more account – still using the same e-mail, while naming it “Tom_amot”. However, my third account got banned even faster, even as I did my absolute best to strictly follow every existing rule – on 03/22/2021.
To be honest, I am absolutely devastated and it is almost impossible to describe how much I value the opportunity to work full-time in the esports field. As a devoted user of Twitch, I completely understand that there is no better way to be a part of the streaming community, and that is why I seek any possible help to come back and continue my professional journey.The underlying situation with strikes from Hitbox.tv still seems to be a horrible misunderstanding – as far as I did not get the chance to argue the nature of those complaints. As I said, Hitbox.tv has been shut down for a long time, so there is no way to connect with its representatives or a person who striked me in the first time. I plead my guilt and I promise it would never happen again. So, I really hope there is a way to unblock any of my accounts or for me to once again become a legit part of the Twitch community.
Respectfully, Mikhail.
