Blogger Stepan Morf published a video in which he talked about a series of copyright infringement complaints (strikes) that could lead to the complete removal of his YouTube channel. The initiator was streamer Alexander Nix Levin, who was later supported by several other content creators from the Dota 2 community.
The first strike from Nix was received at the end of May 2026 and was related to Morf's video about the conflict at BetBoom Streamers Battle 13. The blogger used a fragment with harsh criticism of Nix directed at Solo. Morf called the strike "an attempt to censor criticism." Nix responded by stating that Morf "has been defaming him and distorting facts for many years," and the strike was filed to "show that a person is crossing the line."
The second strike came from UmN1k on a video exposing match-fixing. However, there was no content from UmN1k in the video. Morf stated that this was a retaliatory reaction to the fact that he had previously struck UmN1k's private streams where he insulted him. UmN1k noted the absurdity of the situation in his review and accused Morf of trying to "shut him up."
The third strike came from TpaBoMaH on a video released six years ago. After receiving the third complaint, YouTube notified the blogger of a possible channel suspension within seven days. Morf called what was happening "a conspiracy to delete the channel."
MorfApparently, Nix in this situation is like in an ancient Chinese parable — he defeated the dragon and became the dragon himself. Meanwhile, the one who often talks about justice on streams is trying to remove me through abuse of strikes.
In conclusion of the video, Morf reported that Nix even filed a lawsuit, trying to maintain the blocking of the disputed video. However, in the end, the strike submitted by Levin was withdrawn before the court's decision was made. Thus, Morf's channel is currently no longer at risk of removal.
