Blizzard is working alongside Twitch to create a pilot programme to combat livestream racism, harassment, and abuse.
The news comes following an incident at last week's DreamHack Austin Hearthstone tournament which saw an unprecedented amount of racism thrown at black finalist Terrence "TerrenceM" Miller.
"We're extremely disappointed by the hateful, offensive language used by some of the online viewers during the DreamHack Austin event the weekend before last," says Blizzard president Mike Morhaime to Polygon.
"One of our company values is 'play nice, play fair.' We feel there's no place for racism, sexism, harassment, or other discriminatory behavior, in or outside of the gaming community."
