Neymar Jr., to make his way to CS: GO competitive? Neymar's presence on Twitch has definitely added a lot of strength to the Amazon-owned streaming platform. The 28-year-old has been pretty vocal about his love for video games. Unless you've got a time machine, that content is unavailable. The latest tweets from @NeymarJr.
One of the biggest celebrities in the world has just been banned from Twitch. Neymar Jr, star forward for the Paris Saint-Germain soccer team (or football, depending on one's preference), cannot currently stream from the popular streaming service Twitch, as his ban began just a few hours ago.

Neymar recently joined Twitch and quickly became one of the most popular streamers on the platform. Being such an icon across the world, his streams were viewed across the globe, and especially from Brazil, where he is from and plays when competing nationally. However, his ban has been noticed by fans and various outlets, including @StreamerBans on Twitter, a source that tracks suspensions and bans of content creators. @StreamerBans recently updated its site to include Neymar's ban and sent on a Tweet announcing the rather surprising news.

The reason for Neymar's ban is not yet known, although many assume that it is thanks to Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) strikes on his Twitch. Simply playing music in the background of a channel can get someone in trouble somewhat quickly. This could certainly be what happened with Neymar, although this is simply an assumption at this point.

— StreamerBans (@StreamerBans) November 9, 2020If the reason for the ban was indeed copyrighted content being played, Neymar can dodge that problem with the newest FIFA, a game that he, of course, stars in. FIFA 21 allows players to turn off music while streaming to avoid DMCA strikes. So if Neymar is allowed back to Twitch at some point, that may be a wise option if he chooses to show off on the soccer field in-game, the same way he does in real life.
Neymar's popularity world-wide cannot be understated. He, Christiano Ronaldo, and Lionel Messi are considered the top three most famous soccer players on the planet, but because the sport is so beloved, their popularity stretches out much beyond the pitch. Some wonder if Neymar's ban will be lifted because of this, as fans and even fellow streamers have complained about Twitch's inconsistency with suspensions and bans for more popular content creators.
The soccer superstar has streamed various games, including Counter-Strike: GO, where Neymar pulled off an impressive ace recently while streaming. Many of his fans have enjoyed his content since he started streaming, and of course, they hope that he is allowed back into the streaming platform soon. Twitch would likely appreciate his presence again as well, as he brings a massive worldwide and Brazillian audience.

Life's been a bit dull these days. You're confined to your quarters; no friends, no theatres or restaurants. Gaming, on the other hand, has been our one true escape in these turbulent times.
I know you're always hungry for battling out in the charged multiplayer world of PUBG, Call of Duty and Fortnite. But why play solo when you can connect with the wider world instead--and even your favourite football celebrities on Twitch.

Mesut Ozil (Arsenal)
Thanks @Twitch for setting up my account today. Make sure to follow me on Twitch https://t.co/iSegZVEr3N 🕹🖥💪🏼 First streams coming soon - stay tuned 😉 #M1Öpic.twitter.com/rRRydQHOSK
— Mesut Özil (@MesutOzil1088) October 10, 2018Arsenal star Mesut Ozil is a Fortnight fanatic, period. He even has his own esports team and has previously missed matches due to back spasms which was reportedly caused by his addiction to the immensely popular battle royale game. His upload ‘Mesut Ozil plays Fortnite' has attracted more than 110K views on Twitch.
Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
We're going live to save lives! In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, @dele_official and I will be playing Fortnite in @Twitch's Stream Aid to raise money. Join in live from 16h30 GMT: https://t.co/KCxNS7orC2pic.twitter.com/3Jq5Zkn70e
— Kevin De Bruyne (@DeBruyneKev) March 28, 2020A big fan, what else can I say! Kevin can make you fall in love with football. Legend has it that he can assist even with his eyes closed. The Manchester City midfielder teamed up with Tottenham Hotspur's Dele Alli for a game of Fortnite as part of Twitch's Stream Aid.

You know someone is serious about esports when he calls none other the GOAT, Lionel Messi for a casual chat--and that, too, just for his viewers. The City No. 10 has 3 million followers on Twitch and streams Just Chatting, Rocket League and Grand Theft Auto V.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic (A.C. Milan)

— Zlatan Ibrahimović (@Ibra_official) May 26, 2018The Man, The Myth, The Legend. Lethal, acrobatic, original and outrageous--there's one and only one Zlatan! While technically the account belongs to his brother, but the football great does make regular appearances playing games like Apex Legends, Call of Duty, World of Warcraft and Fortnite.
Dele Alli (Tottenhum Hotspur)
© Provided by Indiatimes Twitch/ @deleThe Spurs midfielder loves him some Fortnite and CoD: Warfare. Streaming comes naturally to him; the gameplay and interaction--he does that with much ease. It's hard to say which is more lethal: a football down his legs or a joystick in his hands. And to tip the favour in the latter category: Alli is often shirtless while streaming.
Neymar Jr. (PSG)

Join him and @tsilva3, @marquinhos_m5, @HayashiXPG, and @alanzoka on Monday at 10 AM PST.https://t.co/pqo4pLRrqopic.twitter.com/oDJhbl7szK
— Call of Duty 🧟 (@CallofDuty) November 30, 2018If you ever had any doubt whether Neymar is a legit gamer, know this: he missed the 2018 Ballon d'Or award ceremony to play Call of Duty. The Brazilian superstar has got excellent body control, quick reflexes, and explosive speed on the field and off it, he uses those excellent hands to walk you through his special moves and kills. Neymar has also appeared alongside Ninja (arguably, the best streamer around) and Call of Duty's official channel.
Paulo Dybala (Juventus)

Alright, you got me. Paulo ‘The Jewel' doesn't stream. But there's no way I wasn't going to mention Juventus' gladiator. He's a genius on and off the field. Dybala can be spotted playing PUBG mobile with popular YouTuber siblings Levinho and Sevou. In the current season, he has an outstanding K/D of 4.71 and 25 chicken dinners in 83 squad matches. He was also part of the PUBG Global event and did brilliantly to finish in 5th position.
