DrDisrespect killed his teammate because there was <strong>not enough space on a motorbike to carry the entire team.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DrDisrespect currently has more than 650,000 followers on Twitch. At the time of the ban, as many as 22,000 of his followers were online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of finding another vehicle, DrDisrespect killed his teammate. Intentional killing of a teammate contradicts with the rules Bluehole has established. That is why the publisher has taken quick actions and banned him before he was able to join another match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>True to his style, <strong>DrDisrespect threatened Brendan \u201cPLAYERUNKNOWN\u201d Greene with a kick to the chest.<\/strong> Although the threat was intended to be a joke, it was not well-perceived by Greene. In response, he published a story from his college years in a TwitLonger. Essentially, the point of the story was that Greene considered \u201ceven the threat of violence\u201d absolutely inappropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Twitch viewers and DrDisrespect followers, Greene has taken the matter too personally. Nevertheless, <strong>DrDisrespect\u2019s ban is not permanent.<\/strong> It is likely to be lifted in three days time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, apart from killing a teammate, DrDisrespect violated yet another strict PlayerUnknown\u2019s Battlegrounds\u2019 rule. Rule 3 of the PUBG Terms of Service states \u201cDo not make threats of real-world violence or other intended harm to other players or our employees.\u201d In this regard, <strong>DrDisrespect\u2019s ban may be extended.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, those who consider themselves a victim of a team killer, hacker, or a griefer can report the player in the PUBG forums. To take further actions against the offender, Bluehole requests video evidence. However, many players record their footage normally and do not run the Nvidia\u2019s Shadowplay. Bluehole is reportedly trying to remedy the situation by removing the video evidence requirement through the coming Observer Mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for DrDisrespect\u2019s ban, it was considered a bold move. Still, it indicates Bluehole\u2019s commitment to making all players respect the rules, regardless of their in-game skills, influence or popularity. Below, you will find a video of the intentional DrDisrespect\u2019s teamkilling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most popular Twitch streamers and PlayerUnknown\u2019s Battlegrounds influencers, DrDisrespect, received an immediate ban on July 17th when he intentionally killed a teammate.
