Why was Samsora banned from Smash Bros Tournaments?

The whole controversy involving Samsora started in September of last year. A Smash Bros player 'Nairo' who had been involved in sexual misconduct situation with CaptianZack, an underage Smash Bros player. As reported by Ginx.tv, Nairo claimed that CaptainZack was the one who initiated the relationship via a non-consensual contact with Nairo. Nairo claimed this happened while he was sleeping. As per the report by Ginx.tv, Samsora knew about the whole situation, as he was close friends with the both of them. 

However, being aware of the sexual misconduct situation involving a minor, Samsora chose to remain quiet about the issue. After this whole thing came to light, Samsora was shunned by the Smash Bros community for not taking the steps to protect the interests of the underage CaptainZack. Even after he was aware of the situation, Samsora continued to collaborate with the streamer 'Nairo' which enranged a lot of his fans. This was the main reason he got banned from various Smash Bros tournaments and shunned by the community. 

After his ban, Samsora took to Twitter to voice out his anger. He made a Tweet saying, "I'm relieved that I'm banned now I can do whatever the freak I want without feeling there is a cloud above my head. Don't be sad for me y'all, I accept full responsibility and my actions are my own. There's so much in life out there." However, since then, Samsora has deleted that Tweet and deactivated his Twitter account.
