A few days after the blow-up involving a Twitch streamer who was kicked from a Marvel Rivals tournament, Basim, the organizer who set the events into motion, has publicly acknowledged that he made a bad disciplinary call. On a recent broadcast, Basim told viewers who were upset with the ban that they were totally “justified” in feeling that no one should get banned for respectfully asking a teammate to switch off a bad hero pick.


It’s interesting to see the organizer reflect on the recent decision regarding the Widow switch ban. It’s important for events like these to adapt and learn from feedback. Hopefully, this leads to a more inclusive environment for all players in future tournaments.
