Chelsea Star Cole Palmer Banned From Twitch for Game Leak
17 Sep
Summary
- Cole Palmer streamed EA Sports FC 27 before the official embargo.
- Twitch temporarily banned Palmer for violating streaming rules.
- Palmer humorously requested an unban on Instagram and debated his game rating.
Chelsea and England midfielder Cole Palmer faced a temporary ban from Twitch earlier this week. The ban occurred after he streamed the upcoming EA Sports FC 27, violating an agreed embargo. Palmer had received early access to the football simulation game and decided to livestream it.
An EA representative intervened in the chat, prompting the stream's end and Palmer's account suspension. In characteristic fashion, Palmer humorously acknowledged the incident on Instagram, stating he was 'giving the people what they wanted' and requesting an unban. He also discussed his in-game player rating of 85, which was a decrease from the previous game's score of 87.
Palmer noted his previous season's injuries likely affected his rating and humorously compared his pace score of 75 to his teammate Morgan Rodgers' 76. Fortunately, his Twitch account has since been reinstated, allowing him to resume streaming. EA Sports FC 27 is officially set to launch on September 25, with early access available from September 18 for specific pre-order editions.
