Fortnite pros and content creators X2 Twins have amassed huge popularity on both YouTube and Twitch. They are extremely popular among the serious Fortnite crowd, and this has led them to garner two million followers on YouTube. They primarily use Twitch to stream FNCS Qualifiers and other tournaments.
However, earlier today, X2 Twins were banned from Twitch. This abrupt ban has left them surprised, and the dilemma and disappointment is very clear from their latest Twitter post.
However, the Fortnite pros claimed that they do not have any strikes on their channel, nor have they done anything to disregard the golden rules by which Twitch streamers abide by.
Twitch is notorious for banning content creators and not giving a specific reason as to why the punishment was meted out. Many influential personalities in the digital world have previously called out Twitch for their lack of transparency with creator bans.
Another famous internet sensation and Call of Duty streamer, Dr Disrepect, was also permanently banned by Twitch last year. His ban raised a lot of eyebrows and many theories surfaced as to why the Two-Time was banned. However, to-date there has not been any confirmed information as to why the perma ben was handed out. Doc however went on to establish his empire on YouTube and currently has 3.39 million followers on the platform.

Many supporters have already come forward to stand beside the Fortnite pros in their difficult times. Many even believe that this is just a mistake and Twitch will probably take back the ban on the Fortnite pros as soon as the news reaches them.
#freethetwins can also be spotted making rounds on Twitter.
Fans are keeping their hopes alive and think this is all a giant error from Twitch management.
Twitch genuinely needs to work on its policies with the creators on the platform and let them know every reason behind the bans as it affects livelihoods and the audience who grow close to the creators watching them stream for hours on end.
