The greatest Super Smash Bros Ultimate player of all time, Leonardo ‘MkLeo’ Lopez Perez, is slamming Twitch after they revoked his access to his account.

According to the Mexican Smash icon, Twitch has prevented him from going live and revoked his ownership of his own account. To make matters worse, his attempts to rectify the problem have fallen on deaf ears.
MkLeo calls “bullsh*t” on Twitch removing his account access
In a January 27 post on X,MkLeorevealed he had lost access to his Twitch account and no longer had the phone for 2FA.
No stream for the next couple days due to not having access to my account. (Lost access to 2FA phone number)Already filled the necessary forms so streams should happen sooner than later. Cant wait, i was having a great time streaming everyday 😭
A day later, Leo showed an email from Twitch where the Amazon-owned platform claimed the info they had on file didn’t match what Lopez Perez had provided and as such, we unable to provide him access.
Leo later claimed that the issue was because his brother was the one who made his account back when he was just 15-years-old, but continued to tag Twitch, urging the site to let him back in.
Sent another ticket.This time ill try with my brothers info since he was the one that created my account when i was like 15 (reason why he used his info) lol@TwitchSupport@TwitchSupportESits mehttps://t.co/8cO5fd1CEs
After submitting another ticket and explaining the situation, Twitch still refused to give Leo his account back and instructed the LG Smash pro to send them a copy of a valid government-issued ID.
“That’s some big bullsht bro,” the Joker main blasted. “If I send my passport and they say no it’s going to be the funniest sht ever. I was literally streaming two weeks ago with my facecam on.”
