This is the most bizarre thing I ever seen someone get ban for in a multiplayer game. You may ask, "What's stream sniping?" When you play a multiplayer game against a streamer and you watch his stream on another monitor to get his location then kill him
or basically getting any information about the enemy by watching their streams. The issue I have is how do you prove someone is doing it. They're setting a deadly precedent because there is simply no proof . The ban is for 7 days but damn that's still 7 days with no proof. Bluehole is really doing a bad job with their PR after all of this success to the game

TL;DR Friend unknowingly kills shroud and get a 7-day ban for the "stream snipe."
As the title says my friend (IGN Lotoe) is banned now for allegedly stream sniping shroud. Before, a duo was tossing grenades into the room they were in and ended up killing summit. The dude was saying he loved their stream and whatnot. 2 minutes later my friend encounters shroud and kills him. So they assume Lotoe was stream sniping and his viewers jump straight to reporting him. Really unfair to my friend as he was banned for killing a popular streamer. We didn't even know he was in the game until we noticed the names in the killfeed and thought it was pretty cool, but this is just unacceptable.
