“Just said Dallas is better than Manchester City”

31-year-old Edwin “Castro1021” is the biggest streamer of FIFA 23 on Twitch. Now the streaming platform has banned him. He says he was banned for a spell about Manchester City. But the truth is a little more complicated.

Who are the biggest streamers on FIFA 23? Because hardly anyone in the USA is interested in football, apart from young girls and their mothers, most of the big streamers on FIFA 23 are German or South American. In the last 180 days it looked like this:

  • Castro_1021 was #1 – he has over 3.6 million followers on Twitch and has been streaming since 2013
  • Runthefutmarket was number 2
  • Then there are 3 German streamers with eliasn97, GamerBrother and TisiSchubech

    Who are the clubs?

  • DallasUnited is Castro’s own soccer team, competing in a 7-on-7 $1 million tournament
  • Manchester City is one of the most successful football clubs in the world. Most recently they beat FC Bayern 3-0 in the Champions League.
  • Streamer has apparently been banned for showing Champions League highlights

    What was he really banned for? As the US site Sportskeeda knows, Castro apparently received a ban for copyright reasons.

    It is said that he watched highlights of the Champions League live in the stream. It is widely believed that this is why he received a temporary Twitch ban.

    Twitch is obligated to delete and sanction such reported copyright violations.

    The ban certainly has nothing to do with his completely wrong views of Manchester City.
