Dota 2 Gamer Gets Robbed At Gunpoint While Streaming

[HDS]

A Dota 2 player in Tempe, Arizona was robbed at gunpoint in the middle of playing a match of the popular online video game and broadcasting it on Twitch.

News of the the robbery began to circulate online almost instantaneously since the game was being live-streamed. You can watch the portion of the video that captures the real-world events up top. It shows Dota 2 player Nikki Elise, who plays the game and streams footage under the online handle Sajedene, doing normal Dota stuff for a few moments before hearing a knock at the door. She then runs to investigate, and a minute later someone holding a gun steps into the frame.

Elise's Twitch channel, which originally broadcast the footage, is now closed. A statement on the landing page reads: "The community has closed this channel due to terms of service violations." As of this writing her Twitter account has also remained inactive, with no tweets being sent that address the robbery.

Matthew Bailey of the eSports-focused website onGamers said on Twitter that Elise and her fellow Dota 2 streamer are "very shaken up but ok."

"The community has closed this channel due to terms of service violations."

Getting robbed violates the terms of services? :wtf: Makes me wonder, with our crime rate how SA players' channels would get closed.

Any real life emergency violates the terms of service. It's just a necessary precaution ever since that one guy committed suicide.
