"We have found that Dafran, from Overwatch Contenders team Selfless, has violated Rule 7.0 (Conduct) of the Overwatch Contenders Ruleset, which states the following:
All competitors and spectators are required to act in a respectful sportsmanlike manner at all times.
Due to this violation, as of June 8, Blizzard will suspend Dafran?s access to his current Overwatch accounts for one week, and from Competitive Play for the remainder of Season 5. Further, Dafran is disqualified from Overwatch Contenders Season Zero, will not be eligible for Overwatch Contenders Season One, and is disqualified from all future Blizzard-sanctioned tournament play for the duration of this competitive season. Dafran?s Overwatch Contenders team is still eligible to compete with a substitute."

Dafran was streaming for almost two days intentionally throwing and also encouraging other players to throw in his name. There was a lot of outcry from the community about why it wasn't dealt with sooner. It was noticed by Blizzard HERE which also prompted Jeff to discuss the topic HERE and also with this post:
"[On Reviewing and Banning Throwers] Definitely. We had a lengthy meeting about this yesterday. We've been doing a lot of research on the problem for months now. We think we have some good solutions. We still need players to help us by reporting people. We do both manual and auto detection on our end, but player reports are the most immediate indicator that point us in the right direction. We also discussed the need for more feedback for the person doing the reporting so it doesn't feel like your report is going into the void."
