Dr Disrespect's mysterious 2020 Twitch ban(opens in new tab) continues to cause the strangest inconveniences, as seen with these bizarre rules for a Fortnite tournament that took place over the weekend.

The streamer hosted Hot Shot Duo Drop, a $100,000 tournament that took place in Epic's battle royale. It featured some pretty big Twitch names like Tfue, summit1g and Zemie, who were of course streaming their games on the very site Dr Disrespect is permanently banned from. As Chess Grandmaster and five-time US champion Hikaru Nakamura discovered(opens in new tab) back in March, Twitch isn't exactly hot on streamers flaunting Dr Disrespect around on their site.

To combat this, tournament organiser BoomTV put some seemingly strange rules in place to avoid any of the same drama, as shared by Full Squad Gaming's Jake Lucky on Twitter (thanks, IGN(opens in new tab)). «It is prohibited to use your channel to knowingly feature or advertise a suspended user,» the rules read. «We understand that there may be instances where suspended users may appear on your stream due to circumstances beyond your control, such as through third-party gaming tournaments, but we expect that you make a good faith effort to remove them from your broadcast, mute them, or otherwise limit their interactions with your stream.»
