I can't believe, ProTech's stream got defeatured on teamliquid again.
ProTech is THE high level 2v2 streamer, and imo it is the most entertaining Starcraft stream overall.

ProTech is the best 2v2 streamer on Twitch, and he is just funny.
What is the real reasoning behind this defeatured or unfeatured thing?
Did he piss of anybody? Can we see couple examples.
Even if he did, he is just practicing his freedom of speech.
Please fix this.

The sense of justice of the web administrators is the most wicked I ever seen they allow things when too many viewers or money or adds, if no, then no.

It doesn't mean the caster do what they say he does.

The Reasoning behind Protechs ban is completely false and lies. He was banned for sexual comments about Gay people and other such things, and I literally watch his stream everyday, and he quiet literally has not said ONE WORD as such. He is a really nice person, and EVEN BANS people that make comments like that. He is not racist, he is not sexist, he does not gays. This ban was completey false in those facts.

I found out that actual reason behind protech being unfeatured is Puckk approached to protech for playing a 2v2 game and Puckk claims that Protech answered him using homophobic language. And Puckk cried because Protech didn't play 2v2 game with him and run to their brothers to get Protech unfeatured.

It's sad to see the #1 2v2 stream getting unfeatured. The popularity of Starcraft scene is already deteriorating.

Best 2v2 player unfeatured? Teamliquid its really that bad? Protech is runing with all the music and commentary on my second screen everytime. There is absolutly no reason for any penalty!

Im not alone who have same opinion on this situation, its just not fair to remove best 2v2 player for false reason like that.

Protech stream help me and my friends to play better starcraft and enjoy the game much more and thats matters.

I think that was a good decision. I dont care if he is streaming as #1 2v2 Streamer. If u dont respect the others. You deserve such punishment.

You're the one who called ProTech the "Best 2v2 player". Maybe most popular (which is definitely a good thing), but he's far from #1 in terms of skill. Not that that particularly matters as far as I know, but it's always curious when a bunch of random people join TL out of the blue just to post for (or against) a player or streamer. I think it would be more constructive to find out where and how you could talk to the people/ moderators of TL who actually are in charge of featured streaming, instead of simply accusing them for unfeaturing him for a "false reason". Find a way to get informed, and then get informed.

DarkPlasmaBall: This is the part of the forum where people can speak about the stream right? If im right this is protech thread. You still thinking its strange that some random people speaking here about their favorite stream? I cant see anything strange on it.

Also why not support streamer when i think its not fair? Im watching his stream becouse i found it best for teaching better skills in starcraft, so im happy for that. I can also imagine that all the hackers what he beat or prove their hacking gonna go there and post some stupid lies.

I'm curious who you think is better than him, in terms of skill, in 2v2? I don't know anything about why he was removed from the feature list but it is sad when you look at his numbers, 1/3 of what they were when he was featured.

He's damn good at the game, I will say that.

The 2v2 rankings over the past 2-3 seasons (at the very least) rarely show him near the top, and plenty of other consistent, better players have been ahead of him for months now. Both in 2v2 RT and AT. Baz, Bubbles, Paragon, Mystik, various Ai/ Demos/ RavenZ clan members, etc. It might be because ProTech hasn't been grinding out 2v2 as seriously as he used to (e.g., he's also trying to become a better 1v1 player), but that's obviously going to take a toll on how he fares against the current best 2v2 players. And clearly it's fine for him to do other things, but then he can't really be advertised as the premier 2v2 player like he used to be a long time ago. He's definitely still a great 2v2 player; there's no doubt about that. And I'm sure those who are his fans are upset with the whole oscillation of him being featured then unfeatured, back and forth. But I'm just not sure how much help it's going to be for new people to make a TL account just to sling mud on TL's decision to unfeature him.

EDIT: For the record, I don't think a requirement to get featured is to actually be the best either. There are criteria outlined in the relevant threads.
