ALL of MagiKarp's previous videos are now inaccessibleMagiKarp's YouTube account displays the following message:
"This account has been suspended due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube's policy against spam, gaming, misleading content, or other Terms of Service violations."
Not necessarily linked to content from player streams
Arteezy was another player who publically stated his stance on the use of his content in the aftermath of NoobfromUA vs Zai (above), and he even tweeted asking for MagiKarp's contact details just over a week before MagiKarp's YouTube account was unfortunately suspended. However, YouTube's code of conduct covers a wide spectrum of things and MagiKarp's suspension could be related to any number of things and is not necessarily linked to the use of content from player streams:
Respect copyright. Only upload videos that you made or that you're authorized to use. This means don't upload videos you didn't make, or use content in your videos that someone else owns the copyright to, such as music tracks, snippets of copyrighted programs, or videos made by other users, without necessary authorizations.

— NoobFromUA (@NoobFromUA) September 17, 2015MagiKarp's videos were very popular and often focused around content from popular figures such as AdmiralBulldog and Arteezy, creating highlight reels from their hugely successful Twitch streams and in-game footage. Just like NoobfromUA's videos created from player stream content, we've all been guilty of perhaps enjoying one or two of them, and the closure of his account will be a shame for followers of his channel. Whether or not his account will remain suspended is unknown, but other video creators should take this as a serious warning to be careful where they tread next.
