Overwatch 2 pros banned from all future events after anti-trans remarks

Two Saudi Arabian players have been banned from competing in and co-streaming all future Overwatch events after making anti-trans comments during the OWWC EMEC qualifiers. Overwatch 2 players Majed “Alivelol” Alqudaibi and Mohammed “Legendary” Saif openly recorded themselves vocalizing anti-trans comments for all their viewers to hear.

The players-in-question called a trans caster an “animal” and a “pig” on stream, leading to their eventual ban by Overwatch’s esports league on June 26. The Overwatch Path to Pro event team said they’d “removed this co-streamer from all official OW esports programs moving forward” via a same-day tweet.
