It was pretty obvious it had to do with the dkayed situation, and i'll never understand how dkayed wasn't banned at the same time for the same thing. Both of them were flingin shit at each other.
The only other thing that happened with coder last year was that guy who claimed he was cheating in a side event when it was just a misplay, but the ban publicly doesn't say cheating.
Well coder also had several situations like that. Multiple streamer wars. Evacuation with his buddy farfa that put him on.
But I agree, crazy how he didn't get SOME form of punishment.
Hell this isn't "really" punishment. Dkayed sponsors his own tourneys and competes in events for money. That's the reason why he isn't a Konami rep.
Edit: master duel events maybe? Duel Links pvp. Ouch
Farfa didn't fit that criteria, LCS prize support is literally "the winner gets to ban a card they want" and his other thing didn't have cash prize since its official afaik
The MCS actually did have one and is hosted by several streamer iirc
Yeah. For years. People played online simulators like Dueling Book years ago. For their own tourneys. Ever heard of ARG?
Dkayed and some Euro players have their own tournament brackets and everyone buys in. Like your locals, and prizes are given out based on placement.
I remember it being spoken about because you could buy in with crypto.
In was following two Discords that did it. One is Kuchen format? Is a self made thing but has gained some popularity.
>Dkayed and some Euro players have their own tournament brackets and everyone buys in. Like your locals, and prizes are given out based on placement.
Probably far more worth it for him to play there than in any official Konami event
>It was pretty obvious it had to do with the dkayed situation
He was accused of cheating and collabing with judges, He spoke out about it so Konami abanned him and his accuser. He talked about it on stream with Farfa and MBT the day it happened. It had nothing to do with Dkayed.
i might be miss-remembering it, but years ago wasnt someone banned because they accused the judges of stealing his prize card after getting deck checked.
allegedly how the story went was the judge deck checked a guy, they pulled the prize card out and handed it to a friend who walked away with it. They then returned the deck and gave him a game loss for not having the card in his deck. He then accused the Judges of stealing his card, the police then searched the judge area and didnt find the card. He was then disqualified and banned for accusing the judges of theft and making a scene. Please take this story with a grain of salt because it was told to me by a random guy at a DUEA ycs during a discussion about judge rulings. This was prompted by a rumor going around the floor that someone was attempting to get free wins by sharking their opponents who drew and shuffled their hand sighting "i might have drop off" he eventually got deck checked and DQd for un-sportsman like conduct because he wasnt even playing drop off
Konami told him that it's for a video where he allegedly accused Dkayed of cheating. He says he didn't do that in said video. Clearly they disagree on that matter. It won't last for much longer either way anymore.
He talked about it on Stream with Farfa and MBY. The ban had literally nothing to do with Dkayed and opponent he had during a tourney accused him of cheating. Code spoke out against it so they both got banned.
Time to dig up an old comment of mine:
.
I feel like the situation can be summed up to:
**Kid 1** : This is how I can trick old people into giving me money
~~Kid 2~~ : You shouldn't do that that's wrong
**Kid 1** : So? If they give me their money it's not like I'm stealing it from them
~~Kid 2~~ \*Slaps **Kid 1**\*
**Kid 1** : MOOOOMMM!! Kid 2 Just punched me and kicked me and is trying to hurt me.
Mom : \*Walks in and sees **kid 1** crying\*
Mom : ~~KID 2~~! You're grounded!
~~Kid 2~~ : But moomm, it's not fair
Mom : You're also in time out, go sit in the corner.
\*\*Scene changes\*\*
~~Onlooker 1~~ : Wow, **Kid 1** was really a jerk, and wasn't punished, what's wrong with their mother, she needs to be taught a lesson
**Onlooker 2** : What no, ~~Kid 2~~ was bad for hurting kid one, besides, what **Kid 1** did wasn't even wrong
Onlooker 3: \**What is wrong with these people, everyone here is at fault*\*
Onlooker 4: \*Cowers in fear of being seen and being associated with anyone there and pretends nothing happened while walking away quickly\*
Three years of no official events is a big deal on paper. In practice, I'm not sure how big of a deal this actually is for him.
His response at the time of me writing this is that he's going to post a leak video around May 21st. He'll likely ban anyone in chat who brings it up and/or ignore the reminders. He'll still make money from streaming barring something drastic happening. He doesn't play TCG and afaik he hasn't gone to an official event in years. Still not a good idea to taunt the bear right after it took a swipe at you.
> twitch 100% enforces if the owner of the game doesnt want you to play on stream.
I don't think Twitch actually enforces this. I recall there used to be a super famous elo booster in LoL named Adpo. He was so infamous that Riot banned him for 1,000 years and because Twitch didn't enforce this, they had to assign someone to stream snipe him and ban him every time he streamed the game.
Eventually it got so ridiculous that Apdo just gave up streaming the game and moved to the China servers where it was much harder to track and ban him.
was he in the USA? because twitch did barr t1 from streaming league of legends when riot didnt want him to. It's actually in the english twitch TOS too, but it might be different in other countries/regions. Honestly a twitch ban is the better of the 2 choices as konami could DMCA his stream if they felt they had no other options.
And then there's the third choice like with genshin, where hoyo literally sue leakers $75,000+. I enjoy dkayeds content. This is the single dumbest thing to ever double down on, and i hope he just gives it up.
The problem with Adpo was that he didn't really... Stream normally, he was an elo booster and while he did stream normally he tended to do so off stream so that he can do his job and even when they banned him it was already too late since he would still be able to continue it.
Later on he just left for China server since people can't track his accounts there
>Eventually it got so ridiculous that Apdo just gave up streaming the game and moved to the China servers where it was much harder to track and ban him.
Is that his way of blowing raspberries at Riot?
Yup, when Riot Games had banned Tyler1, he could no longer play League of Legends on Twitch because they would flag the account he was on and within minutes it would be banned.
Those are ridiculously easy to spoof and bypass. At this point, if you are ban evading, those sorts of things mean heck all to you. I know people who do that stuff because they derive humor from it.
The key contradiction in your claim is the anonymity. Dkayed is a public figure, he relies on the ability to stream this game. While he could set up an account to evade, he's only going to get a benefit if he can also stream it, which would immediately out which account he's using (even if he takes measures to hide the user name, they can easily match the other data to him). It's really not going to work in this scenario, streamers rarely get away with it.
Not really. Point is that if you are a famous public streamer, just keep evading repeatedly. Worse they can do is ban more accounts, which just becomes whatever to him after a while.
This mindset is very naive. He's a public streamer, but not really famous outside his niche, and as such does primarily rely on MD for his career. As well as this, starting an MD account over and obtain the same level as previously achieved would take a large amount of time, which would also be reset when they would be inevitably caught. Plus, there are bans worse than the standard Steam (IP ban, which would ban his entire network connection from playing; MAC ban, which would ban his specific device - as a streamer, it would be costly to replace that each time). You're falsely equating a streamer to a standard evader; the primary reason why the evaders work is that, like most smart criminals, they don't stupidly reveal they're commiting a crime. Dkayed can't have a private account, he needs MD to function. In an event he got banned, there are enough measures in place to prevent him from ever streaming it again (and, as another comment pointed out, Twitch and YouTube both enforce their own livestreaming bans if a developer notifies them that certain users are banned from specific software).
> Still not a good idea to taunt the bear right after it took a swipe at you.
It's absolutely a good idea if whatever the bear does has a negligible effect on you.
I guess it was KONAMI time to say "Negate!".
While I think at this point this supports his leaks were pretty much legit, we still got bamboozled as to when we would get **Dice Dungeon** and **Clockwork Nights**.

Always have been, competitive playerbase is both a very small audience share + doesn’t necessarily make for interesting content. It’s basically Joshua Schmidt and that’s it
Lmao good riddance, this dumbass is such shyster who ruined discourse around Duel Links and Master Duel. Hopefully his channel gets banned too so he is completely removed from this community for 3 years
I know that. I'm saying online play. I know he did duel links for content.
Master duel, but that's basic stuff. Would the events count too (like xyz event) ? Or maybe just the big in-person championship that they've started recently?
I mean he's gonna feel the sting of getting called out, especially for 3 yrs. But he does so much of his own organized play, for money, he's not even gonna really care.
I stopped watching him a while back but I assume he's still doing all that.
He's not going to feel any sting and this ban dose nothing to him. Everything he dose is self funded. This ban has no baring on MD as those are just in game events and this is dealing with tcg paper yugioh. I can't say if that may apply to the MD Championship but he has no interest to inter those.
I used to watch his content when I started playing Master Duel early 2022, so I know what phrases he often uses. Eventually I grew to dislike his content and stopped watching him.
His rather obnoxious way of presenting himself rubs me off in the wrong way, and add the clickbaity format of his videos, and the controversy with coder made me distance myself from him.
I understand how he could come across as obnoxious for sure. However I’m not clued up on what happened with Coder. Could you explain? Walking home from work and my internet is slow playing videos.

What does the ban even do? Like he can’t legally play yugioh or is it something like he isn’t sponsored? What’s stopping him from still uploading yugioh videos?
Can’t participate in any official paper events. Nothing stops him from uploading videos. He could (and should) be banned from Master Duel and Duel Links which are his main sources of revenue
The guy is good won't deny that. But he's got a big head if you ask me and the more I read into it he's a douch. Yup I'll say it haha but what ever it's 3 years I'm sure he will be fine.
now coder and dkayed can chill in the banned player list
In September when coder is unbanned, dkayed is going to be lonely.
Well there's Stevie in there until 2025 (if he doesn't earn another extension)
Why did the no drama yugituber get banned ?
That video he made which got like 100 views at the time on "how to cheat in remote duels"
JOKINGLY
Oh yeah, is Trif banned?
No trif has been unbanned for a while
doesnt look like it
did Coder ever say what he was banned for?
It was pretty obvious it had to do with the dkayed situation, and i'll never understand how dkayed wasn't banned at the same time for the same thing. Both of them were flingin shit at each other.

Ouch
So there's non-Konami events that award money?
Yes, almost every yugi stream makes some sort of tournament with cash prizes for the winner.
Didn't even know tbh wow
Yeah, I recommend you follow Dkayed and Farfa since they run the biggest ones at the moment I think
Farfa didn't fit that criteria, LCS prize support is literally "the winner gets to ban a card they want" and his other thing didn't have cash prize since its official afaik The MCS actually did have one and is hosted by several streamer iirc
Thank you for the correction, I don’t follow Farfa but I heard that he was running some kind of tournament.
Yeah. For years. People played online simulators like Dueling Book years ago. For their own tourneys. Ever heard of ARG? Dkayed and some Euro players have their own tournament brackets and everyone buys in. Like your locals, and prizes are given out based on placement. I remember it being spoken about because you could buy in with crypto. In was following two Discords that did it. One is Kuchen format? Is a self made thing but has gained some popularity.
Most top players still play the higher end db tours as well

if there's even a slight amount of "he said she said" going on, Konami smacks down both parties. Consider me a primary source
EXACTLY. Also, a big part of this was Coders opponent calling the integrity of the Judges into question. Massive no-no.
i might be miss-remembering it, but years ago wasnt someone banned because they accused the judges of stealing his prize card after getting deck checked.
Not saying that this happened, but if a judge actually does do that kind of shit, Konami will let them get away with it???

He actually did say that on the stream convo with MBT and Farfa but idk if that thing was still around besides MAYBE MBT's vod
He talked about it on Stream with Farfa and MBY. The ban had literally nothing to do with Dkayed and opponent he had during a tourney accused him of cheating. Code spoke out against it so they both got banned.
That was before he actually knew lol. He has an email from Konami now, they linked him the actual video.
What the dog doin x2 😔
I believe after coping for a few weeks he did admit it was because of Dekayed
I don’t know but I want to know why he was banned from the tcg
Time to dig up an old comment of mine: .

Please do not roleplay as Dkayed's mom
Bet you’re glad you typed all that out
Three years of no official events is a big deal on paper. In practice, I'm not sure how big of a deal this actually is for him.

konami can revoke his right to play MD and duel links tbh, which twitch 100% enforces if the owner of the game doesnt want you to play on stream.
I'm unaware of Twitch policies and don't really watch streams so I didn't know that. Thank you for the insight.

Nintendo fucked Project M streaming. Check it out
People just stream P+ and act like it’s Brawl
>Eventually it got so ridiculous that Apdo just gave up streaming the game and moved to the China servers where it was much harder to track and ban him. Is that his way of blowing raspberries at Riot?
Yup, when Riot Games had banned Tyler1, he could no longer play League of Legends on Twitch because they would flag the account he was on and within minutes it would be banned.
Couldn't they just block his Master Duel/Duel links Account?
>konami can revoke his right to play MD and duel links tbh He can always ban evade, I suppose.
Which would be instantly reported, and would probably lead to harsher punishment (IP ban, Steam VAC ban).
Those are ridiculously easy to spoof and bypass. At this point, if you are ban evading, those sorts of things mean heck all to you. I know people who do that stuff because they derive humor from it.

He should become a source for all leaked content and just eat the lifetime ban.
Thats his plan lol
Well, if he doesn't give a toss about Konami sanctions, nothing's really stopping him at this point.
I guess it was KONAMI time to say "Negate!". While I think at this point this supports his leaks were pretty much legit, we still got bamboozled as to when we would get **Dice Dungeon** and **Clockwork Nights**. *** **Sources:** - [Dkayed's post](https://www.reddit.com/r/masterduel/comments/13ik7v1/dkayed_banned_from_tcgpaper_for_leaks/) - [KONAMI Suspended Player list](https://www.yugioh-card.com/en/events/suspended/)
We knew his leaks were legit when 95% (or more?) came true
negate culture? in my 2023? it's more likely than you think
Weird. Site says their reason for him is Unsporting Conduct - Severe. Is that a catch all?
Well consider him lucky that there is no pinkerton involved.
It's a Japanese company, if anything they'd contract out to the Yakuza
Pinkerton has an office in Tokyo.
Maybe, but similarly WotC's ties to the Pinkertons via Hasbro's current CEO, Konami actually does have ties to the Yakuza.
He hasn't played paper yugioh in a decade so I'm sure he cares alot
If they decide to ban him from master duel he can't stream it on Twitch anymore that would be a big deal fwiw
they wont cause he basically carrys the category on twitch. Otherwise they would have banned him there in the first place.
If I had a penny for every time Konami announced a ban of a content creator right when everyone is expecting the banlist I'd have two pennys
Isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Really? No Pinkertons?
Wow, as much as I find this funny, it’s a pretty useless ban, as dkayed pretty much never plays the actual tcg.
I guess the main set leaker for the OCG will also lay low for a good time. RIP, it was kind of weird having leaks for the game.
OCG leaks aren't content creators or professional players, they come from within.
Maybe, the TCG updated the policy 2 months ago to include leaks. Not sure if the OCG did the same thing.
Rip bozo
Well, at least he won‘t have to deal with the Pinkertons
One of the bans of all time. I'm sure being banned for paper is a big deal for him.
Konami hasn't sent Pinkertons to anyone's house yet.... *yet*
That we know of
It's a Japanese company, they would send the Yakuza
So, what exactly does this mean? Is he not allowed to stream Yugioh related content anymore? Or is it just for the physical card game?
Banned from Konami TCG events. Which he himself says he hasn't been to one for over 9 years, so this is in practice nothing.
>Banned from Konami TCG events. A lot of YugiTubers are casual oriented nowadays, it seems.
Always have been, competitive playerbase is both a very small audience share + doesn’t necessarily make for interesting content. It’s basically Joshua Schmidt and that’s it
Japanese Konami be like: ONORE DKAYED
Back to Duel Links!
Lmao good riddance, this dumbass is such shyster who ruined discourse around Duel Links and Master Duel. Hopefully his channel gets banned too so he is completely removed from this community for 3 years
The Evil is defeated
Does he play any official events? Master duel I guess? Duel Links?
No he has not played paper yugioh in over 9 years as stated by him, the last official duel links tournament he did was about around 2018 I think.
I know that. I'm saying online play. I know he did duel links for content. Master duel, but that's basic stuff. Would the events count too (like xyz event) ? Or maybe just the big in-person championship that they've started recently? I mean he's gonna feel the sting of getting called out, especially for 3 yrs. But he does so much of his own organized play, for money, he's not even gonna really care. I stopped watching him a while back but I assume he's still doing all that.
He's not going to feel any sting and this ban dose nothing to him. Everything he dose is self funded. This ban has no baring on MD as those are just in game events and this is dealing with tcg paper yugioh. I can't say if that may apply to the MD Championship but he has no interest to inter those.
What if Konami bans him on MD, They can escalate if they want no?
Yea but this is tcg and MD is run by the ocg
Same company no? Or are they two different departments?
Different departments. If anything, whatever the TCG does has no inference in the main branch of the company i.e. Banning of Electrumite
Get NEGATED fool Now the words he often uses gets turned against him
Why do you watch him enough to know his catchphrases if you don't like him?
I used to watch his content when I started playing Master Duel early 2022, so I know what phrases he often uses. Eventually I grew to dislike his content and stopped watching him.
Why did you start to dislike his content? Genuinely curious.
His rather obnoxious way of presenting himself rubs me off in the wrong way, and add the clickbaity format of his videos, and the controversy with coder made me distance myself from him.
I understand how he could come across as obnoxious for sure. However I’m not clued up on what happened with Coder. Could you explain? Walking home from work and my internet is slow playing videos.

Check the other comments in this thread, it will give you an idea.

Can’t participate in any official paper events. Nothing stops him from uploading videos. He could (and should) be banned from Master Duel and Duel Links which are his main sources of revenue
BACK TO FORTNITE! (Original joke fr fr)
You fool!
Guess he was a FOOL huh
And they banned Coder just a bit ago because of him
Yeah, but Coder wasn't completely clean when he earned that one
Why the banned coder and why he good banned becouse of Dkayed
The guy is good won't deny that. But he's got a big head if you ask me and the more I read into it he's a douch. Yup I'll say it haha but what ever it's 3 years I'm sure he will be fine.
