This twitlonger is in no way trying to defend my actions. Im simply explaining the story. I apologize to Nairo and Zackray for ruining the integrity of competition and to the entire community for letting my personal relationship affect an entire result. The truth is I told Ally to throw to Zackray at Prime saga, and Nairo at Momocon. What are the outed smash players doing now that their careers are over? We look at their social medias and see if anything new has happened. Cinnpie Allegati.
As of the writing of this article, more than 160,000 members of the Super Smash Bros. community have taken to social media to make it as widely known as possible that they'd like to see Nairoby 'Nairo' Quezada back and streaming on Twitch.
The 24 year old Smasher has been out of the scene and off Twitch since July of last year when allegations of sexual misconduct with a minor were made against him. Last Friday, Nairo made a return to the public spotlight via a short video in which he updated fans on his personal journey over the last seven months and noted that he was 'ready to move forward.'

Nairo's sponsor, NRG eSports, severed ties with him after the allegations hit, and Twitch banned him from streaming shortly after that. Here now a week after Nairo's update video, #UnBanNairo has started trending on Twitter as its been used more than 167,000 times by members of the Super Smash Bros. community.
Major figures in the scene have expressed their support here as the likes of T1|MkLeo (the top Smash Ultimate player on the planet), Liquid|Hungrybox (perhaps the greatest Melee competitor of all time), and notable content creator and player PG|ESAM are among the numerous who have lent their voices to the cause.
Some of those in favor of Nairo's return have pointed to a compilation of social media evidence that reportedly offers further details on the happenings that got him banned, claiming said evidence paints Nairo as innocent and the actual victim of the situation.
#UnBanNairo@Twitch should read and respond to this updated document that has all pertinent facts prepared regarding the situation.
We can all agree a response regarding the matter in light of this is necessary.https://t.co/vprWGqfh0I

Someone who was victimized shouldnt have his communirt, life, and friends taken away when we all know better now
He deserves to be able to stream on @twitch again
Rod 'Slasher' Breslau, one of the top eSports journalists in the business, reached directly out to Twitch today to see if they had any response. It seems they've only given a 'no comment' comment.
