xQc speechless over ohnePixel’s $130k CSGO trade gift xQc/TwitchxQc was left stunned after CS:GO streamer ohnePixel was gifted $130,000 worth of cases and capsules by a wealthy fan in a trade offer. While the in-game cosmetics have no inherent value, meaning they’re only worth whatever a player is willing to pay for them, in the past we’ve seen some CS skins sell for hundreds of thousands on the market. Some rare knives and stickers especially are excessively costly, with the most expensive estimated to be worth upwards of millions, namely the ‘Blue Gem’ 387 Karambit Case Hardened — which its owner turned down an offer of €1.2 million (roughly $1.5 million USD) in 2021. As CS:GO skins will carry over to the highly anticipated Counter-Strike 2, the announcement of the upgraded first-person shooter has made prices of all cosmetics, including cases, skyrocket higher than ever before. With Valve also continuing to crack down on accounts linked to gambling sites, notably banning accounts with inventories worth up to $6 million collectively, CS:GO streamer ohnePixel received a massive donation from a fan in his July 2 stream, who gifted the skin collector over $100k worth of cases and sticker capsules. xQc reacts to ohnePixel’s $100k donation from fan Reacting to the clip, xQc was a bit baffled. The former Overwatch pro poked a bit of fun at ohne, claiming the $100,000 worth of cases will turn out to be worth less than a dollar if he opens them. “Brother, I don’t get it,” he said. “Okay, dude if you open these chat, I’m telling you chat, you turn $100k to 54 cents. I’m actually deadass.” He added: “You turn this sh*t into 54 American cents if you open this sh*t.” Although the Juicer didn’t realize at first it was actually a donation from a fan, instead believing ohne had purchased the items. Upon finding out, xQc was stunned: “Wait, he donated it? Huh? It’s a dono? It’s reasonable to say the hype for CS cosmetics is as high as ever. Players collectively splashed out an absolute fortune on the new Anubis skin collection just days after its launch. ohnePixel plans to open the cases on stream on Friday, July 7. He will be hoping to snag a rare Katowice 2014 holo sticker, or a Souvenir Dragon Lore, worth hundreds of thousands. The odds, though, are not in his favor.

xQc left speechless as Google Assistant roasts him with Twitch meme – Dexerto
xQc left speechless as Google Assistant roasts him with Twitch meme Popular Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel was left stunned after his Google Assistant hilariously roasted him during a livestream. Since making the switch from competitive Overwatch to full-time Twitch streaming, xQc has become one of the faces of the platform – racking up over 1.5 million followers and thousands of subscribers. Fans tune in to watch him rage at games or roast his teammates, but like all good Twitch chats, they jump onboard themselves with inside jokes, roasts, and emote spam. Yet, not even they could have roasted xQc like his Google Assistant decided to. The former Overwatch pro has quickly become one of Twitch’s most popular channels. During his August 25 stream, the Canadian had been chatting with viewers and listening to music recommendations when he paused everything to speak to his Google Assistant. “Hey Google, sing me a song” he asked, prompting the machine to break into a pre-recorded song. While the streamer was seemingly enjoying the tune, he looked back towards it once it had finished up – seemingly getting ready to thank it. However, he got a shock when the voice changed to his text-to-speech man instead, and fired shots at him. Lengyel was left staring blankly before offering up a “Wait, what?” after hearing the Google assistant rattle off a regular Twitch chat roast. The hilarity of the clip prompted it to go viral on a number of subreddits, with some commenters also confused by what had happened. Some suggested that it was xQc housemate Adept playing a joke on him, as having multiple Google Assistants in one house means you can send messages back in forth. How it got the text-to-speech voice, however, is still a mystery and it clearly stunned xQc into thinking that someone had possibly hacked it or it was learning from his chat. He can rest easy, though, as the Google Assistant probably won’t break out into 777 or emote spam anytime soon – Lengyel will just have to deal with that from his thousands of viewers instead.

xQc speechless after Minecraft base meets unfortunate fate – Dexerto
xQc speechless after Minecraft base meets unfortunate fate Twitch: xQCOW / Pixabay / MojangAt the end of his Twitch stream on Aug 13, Overwatch pro Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel was about to log off when his Minecraft house suffered an unfortunate fate that left him speechless. Minecraft is seeing a huge resurgence due to popular personalities like Felix ‘PewDiePie‘ Kjellberg playing it. And now Overwatch pro xQc has tried his hand at building his own base in the game. During the end of a lengthy stream on August 13, the Canadian streamer was ready to go to bed after putting in a huge amount of effort to build his house, only to see his hard work go to waste in seconds. Playing with fire The popular Twitch streamer had spent hours working on his base, making what he thought was a stylish design. Although he seemed to be tempting fate, as he purposely built his house near lava as he thought it looked cool. “It’s gonna catch on fuckin’ fire dude. My entire house is about to fuckin’ burn down” he prophetically said. Despite knowing the risks, the pro continued to spend hours meticulously designing the roof and construction of his house. He was even playing in the game’s ‘hardcore mode’, which has no respawn. Satisfied with his build, the popular streamer had just completed the finishing touches on his house when he decided to call it a night. Clearly exhausted, he said “Time to go to bed, chat. I didn’t know I would go full…” he paused, before realizing something was horribly wrong. The wooden slabs he used to build the outside of his base suddenly caught fire, as the lava near his base torched it. In absolute shock and disbelief, he tried to replace the blocks with more wood, only to see them quickly disintegrate as well. xQc quickly realized that nothing could fix the situation, as all the wood on his base had gone up in flames. “Done!” he said, slamming his fist on the desk in defeat. The Canadian streamer was left deflated after having spent hours meticulously designing his house. A donation in the chat then added salt to the wound by pointing out the obvious. “That lava is going to burn your base down,” it said to which the Overwatch pro replied “No shit!” xQc is one of the most popular streamers on Twitch, with almost 1.4m followers as of August 14.

xQc speechless after viewers find him in OnlyFans video with Alinity and Amouranth – Dexerto
xQc speechless after viewers find him in OnlyFans video with Alinity and Amouranth Twitch/xQc/AmouranthTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel somehow found himself in an OnlyFans video with two of the platform’s most successful creators. xQc has been either at or near the top of Twitch for the last few years, but his talents might have inadvertently moved to another platform without even realizing it. The French Canadian was browsing his own subreddit recently when he stumbled upon a post from a user claiming that they found the streamer in an OnlyFans video. Curious about what this was, the juicer checked on the post and was left absolutely speechless when he determined that the user was right and it wasn’t just him in the video… he was with Amouranth and Alinity too! xQc spotted in Alinity’s OnlyFans video with Amouranth After seeing the post and not knowing how to respond for a good few moments, eventually, the former Overwatch League pro reached the conclusion that the thread wasn’t a troll. “Brother, brother, whoa!” xQc smirked. “What the f**k is this chat on about?” The clip in question seems to be from Amouranth’s birthday party considering the balloons and the fact she’s wearing the same dress she wore during that big event. In the video, Alinity is seen making out with another girl while Amouranth watches and just a little bit of the top of xQc’s head is visible in the background. Alinity and Amouranth are both two of the biggest OnlyFans creators having earned millions by selling videos to down-bad viewers. Alinity has said she’s earned more money in two months than she would have in 10 years on Twitch. Amouranth, meanwhile, is raking in a whopping $1.5M every month. That’s almost enough to buy the new one-of-a-kind Magic: The Gathering Lord of the Rings One Ring card.

xQc left speechless after Amouranth sends Twitch star ‘revealing’ video for birthday – Dexerto
xQc left speechless after Amouranth sends Twitch star ‘revealing’ video for birthday Twitch: xQc / Twitter: AmouranthFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel was left speechless after watching a ‘revealing’ video from Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa wishing him a happy birthday. There was a nice message behind it though — it was completely funded by his Twitch fans. xQc celebrated his 26th birthday on November 12. He received countless messages from fans wishing him a happy birthday. He also watched a montage video filled with friends and fellow streamers doing the same. However, one part of the video that left him speechless was a personalized happy birthday message from Amouranth. Not only was he mind-blown by the ‘revealing’ nature of the video, but he also couldn’t believe how much they paid to make it happen. “Hey Juicer Fam! Amouranth here! I hope you’re having an amazing birthday,” said Amouranth. “Happy birthday Felix. Hope it’s a great year for you.” She also drew the letters X, Q, and C onto her arm. xQc couldn’t believe it. “No shot! How much did you guys pay for this?” he said to his fans. “Guys, is this a cameo? No f**king shot, dude.” After they told him it cost $200, he was struck with awe and thanked them. xQc shared a wholesome moment with his fans too. “Thanks for all the birthday wishes,” he said. He urged fans to stop making donations just to wish him a happy birthday too. “You guys just being here all the time and watching all the streams, even when they’re dogsh*t, that’s a gift, okay? It’s a gift all year round. You don’t have to donate anything. Thanks for just being here. Much love.” It’s been almost four years since Dallas Fuel released xQc from their roster, and he jumped into streaming full-time. He was only 22 years old at the time. Now one of the platform’s biggest names years on, there’s a lot to celebrate for Lengyel.

xQc speechless after discovering the most dedicated Pokimane fan on stream – Dexerto
xQc speechless after discovering the most dedicated Pokimane fan on stream Twitch: xQc / YouTube: Anthony PadillaTwitch star xQc was left stunned after coming across the most dedicated Pokimane fan we’ve ever seen during a game of CS:GO on stream. Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys is the most popular woman on Twitch — and the most popular Twitch streamer in the entire United States. Boasting over 9.2 million followers on the purple streaming platform, Poki is the site’s 9th most-followed streamer overall (this doesn’t include the millions of followers she has on other social platforms like Instagram and Twitter). Anys is open about her interactions with her fans, and has even uploaded a vlog where one of her viewers asked her out at TwitchCon. Sometimes, these experiences can get awkward, but she always manages to keep things in stride. While there are certainly some dedicated Pokimane superfans out there, none of them quite come close to the fan that Twitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel ran across during a game of CS:GO. At first, Lengyel noticed that one of his opponents was named “pokimane♥Poki♡Kong.” After getting frustrated with the player for apparently stream sniping, xQc went to check out their Steam profile — and was left completely baffled. The fan’s account is, essentially, a Pokimane fan page. Their profile picture is a photo of Pokimane, and their bio contains a statement that reads: “If Pokimane has 1,000 fans, I am one of them / If Pokimane has 100 fans, I am one of them / If Pokimane has 10 fans, I am one of them.” That’s not all; a short scroll down shows a giant graphic that is full of Pokimane selfies. Text on the graphic claims he’s the “biggest Pokimane fan,” a “Tier 3 subscriber,” and — wait for it — has donated over $1,000 to the Twitch star. The profile continues even further, and is full of photos and gifs of Pokimane. Needless to say, xQc was completely shocked. After looking at the profile for a few stunned seconds, he could only say one phrase: “What the f**k?” Other players on xQc’s team couldn’t help but admire the effort… but it looks like ‘the juicer’ himself was a little leery of the whole thing. We can’t say we blame him… especially after Pokimane herself discussed being stalked by a fan in a recent interview.

xQc snaps at Fortnite teammate after being asked if he has Tourette’s – Dexerto
xQc snaps at Fortnite teammate after being asked if he has Tourette’s Blizzard / Epic GamesTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel let his Fortnite teammate have it after being asked if he has Tourette’s. xQc is one of the biggest Twitch streamers in the world, having quickly risen to the top after his switch from professional Overwatch. He’s known for his high-intensity streams, where he does and says basically anything he wants, while definitely not taking any smack from anyone. The Canadian was playing some Fortnite during one of his streams when his teammate sparked some controversy by asking him if he has Tourette’s. The Canadian wasn’t having any of it, and after a short moment to take in what he’d heard, he went on a classic rant. “Dude, dude. Who the f**k is he, 12-year-old little b***h. Holy sh*t, holy f**k! I ought to whoop your a**. If I said that sh*t at your age I would’ve had my skull kicked in. You said do you have Tourette’s and then you laugh? What are you, nine?” His teammate stayed to listen to the rant and Felix showed no sign of stopping, telling his teammate he shouldn’t have a computer and mocking his laugh. He did, however, end it on a nice note, wishing him good luck before going back to chatting with his viewers. Some of the chatters claimed that xQc had gone too far with his comments. But he defended himself stating: “That was not too far, he made fun of my speech impediment – that’s a no-no. Then he went on to insult me and I can’t defend myself because I’m older? F**k off!” Most of his chat loved the situation anyway and laughed throughout the whole rant – which is somewhat of an xQc classic by now. Of course, whether xQc was actually upset or just playing up for the camera remains to be seen, but it’s unlikely that this young Fortnite player will ever forget the toungue-lashing he receieved from the former Overwatch pro.

xQc sparks concerns after opening up about his health: “I have to go to a doctor” – Dexerto
xQc sparks concerns after opening up about his health: “I have to go to a doctor” xQcStreaming star xQc has sparked concerns amongst his fans after opening up about his latest health issue, revealing he needs to see a doctor. With close to 12 million followers behind him on Twitch before his shock move to Stake-backed platform Kick, it’s more than fair to say xQc is one of the biggest streamers in the world. Streaming at least 10 hours each day, and sometimes even upwards of 20 hours per day regularly, it’s no wonder the 27-year-old dominated Twitch as their top streamer, being the most-watched channel on the Amazon-owned platform for several years in a row. However, the countless hours of grinding each day may be starting to take a toll on the Juicer, as the streaming star has revealed to his fans he needs to see a doctor. xQc concerns fans after revealing he needs to see a doctor After playing his outro at the end of his July 21 Kick stream, xQc returned for a more serious talk with his viewers before shutting down his broadcast. The streamer revealed to fans that he’s noticed a problem with his shoulder, and may need some medical attention. “No joke, I’m going to stop stalling. I have to go to the doctor soon,” he said. xQc demonstrated a movement with his arm, which makes his shoulder click and stay in the same position. “My shoulder clicks in, and when I do it again it doesn’t, so it’s like in place right?” xQc further elaborated, explaining when he’s resting in a normal position his shoulder eventually goes back into place. Although he revealed there’s some pain and discomfort when he moves it in a specific way. It’s not uncommon to see streamers take a break every now and then, whether it be for burnout, stress, injuries, or just to take a step away. Although, we hope xQc’s issue isn’t too serious.

xQc slams viewer after they try to roast him with donation – Dexerto
xQc slams viewer after they try to roast him with donation Twitch: xqcowPopular Twitch streamer Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel held nothing back in his reply to a donator that tried to roast him with a donation message. Former Overwatch pro xQc has become one of the biggest variety streamers on Twitch, boasting over 1.6 million followers and drawing in tens of thousands of viewers every stream. Like most streamers, the Canadian accepts donations and viewers are able to leave a small message when they send him money. This message is then read out to the whole stream by a robotic voice. Most of the time fans leave a friendly comment or some kind of meme, however, one donator went far and beyond the usual memes and into insult territory. During xQc’s stream on November 18, a donation message began being read out. “This shouldn’t need to be said, but please don’t take life advice from someone who can’t eat properly or clean up after themselves, pass an eighth-grade math test or talk properly” the donation said. Félix instantly fired back at the viewer who had sent in the donation, mercilessly roasting them. “You know what I can do though, I can make the robot talk with YOUR three bucks, that you worked for, you p****! I can make Brian talk all day for cucks like you!” he said, before adding even more smack talk. “So who gives a f*** if I can’t feed myself, because I can buy food after I juice the f*** out of you, you p****.” Yelled xQc, completely unaffected by the viewer’s roast, as he fired back something much harsher instead. His chat absolutely loved the reaction, spamming laughing emojis and agreeing with the streamer throughout his hilarious comeback. A reply like this is no surprise from xQc, who is known for voicing his opinion and always doing things his own way. The streamer regularly fires shots at just about anyone who deserves it and isn’t afraid of any negative feedback from his viewers, who he is more than happy to ban. This likely isn’t the last time that he will be firing shots at someone for trying to roast him on his stream.

xQc slams viewer complaining over react streams: “games are dogsh*t” – Dexerto
xQc slams viewer complaining over react streams: “games are dogsh*t” Despite DMCA scares and short-term suspensions, Twitch’s react meta is still going strong. Pioneer of the meta xQc can be found watching TV shows on stream for hours a day while slamming viewers who complain about his content. Similar to video games, Twitch has gone through a series of “metas” over the past year. A Twitch meta defines what kind of content streamers will create, and they’re often sparked by the platform’s largest creators. First, it was the hot tub meta that shifted to leggings and ASMR. Thousands of viewers would tune in to Amouranth or IndieFoxx to watch these streamers ride pool inflatables and, bizarrely, lick microphones. But a far more controversial meta has emerged in the past few months. The react meta, pioneered by xQc, features streamers watching their favorite TV shows with their viewers. This type of content puts streamers at risk of DMCA strikes. xQc slams complaining viewer Viewers also often criticize the meta calling it “lazy” and wishing their favorite streamers would put “more effort” into their streams. One viewer during a recent xQc reacts stream chatted, “Watching TV shows for hours and hours so much effort bro. Bring me back to 2019 where people actually played games.” This comment rubbed xQc the wrong way and netted a rather heated response from the streamer. “If you want to go back to 2019, you can just click on another stream and watch someone who is playing games,” stated xQc, “You’re here instead because games are dogsh*t. You’re not watching them because there’s no games to watch. I’m not playing games that are dogsh*t. And you’re watching me instead of watching somebody else. Maybe you’re the problem.” xQc promptly returned to watching Shark Tank with his tens of thousands of viewers. So, while some viewers may not enjoy react streams, it’s definitely working for him in terms of viewer count. In another stream, xQc explains that the react streams and watching TV shows won’t stop. He laughed at the idea of receiving a DMCA strike and even plans to host anime watch streams in the future. So, if you don’t want to foot a hefty cable bill and aren’t picky about what you watch, you can count on xQc to provide you with free episodes of whatever he chooses to watch that day.

xQc slams Twitch chat over Kylie Jenner comments – Dexerto
xQc slams Twitch chat over Kylie Jenner comments Streaming icon Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is known to be the ’embodiment of Twitch chat’ with his bizarre rants, temper-flaring personality and meme-like personality. However, that didn’t stop him from telling his chat off for blasting Kylie Jenner. While watching a YouTube video about Jenner’s car collection, his chat kept writing comments calling the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star “plastic,” a clear reference to celebrity gossip about the model going under the knife for cosmetic surgery. Lengyel didn’t understand all the hate and called out his chat for their comments. “Guys, this chat, I will never understand, dude,” the Twitch star began as he sat up in his chair. (Timestamp 2:25 for mobile viewers) “It is so bi-polar, dude. You guys say ‘plastic, plastic.’ When we showed her sister, you guys said ‘flat lul no juice lul,’” he continued, referring either to Kendall Jenner or one of Kylie’s Kardashian half-sisters. The French Canadian went on to accuse his stream of not knowing what they wanted. “When she gets the juice it’s ‘plastic.’ Dude, who gives a f*ck? When you touch the juice it’s still good juice. I don’t give a f*ck. It could be plastic, it could be brick, it could be wood. It could be quartz!” he exclaimed. “I don’t give a f*ck. I’ll still get the juice, dude,” the former Overwatch pro ranted. It would seem like even if xQc is the living embodiment of Twitch chat at least he’s self-aware. The ‘juice’, as xQc explained in the past, can be anything as it has no clear definition, but in this case, it seemed as if the Quebecois was going on about Kylie Jenner’s appearance. In January of 2019, he tried to explain the concept to his chat: “The juice is whatever you make it. It can be anything. Nobody can define what it is for you, you know what the juice is.” “For me, the juice is whenever I win. That’s my juice. But maybe your juice is when you make a nice piece of art, hell yeah, that’s your juice! Maybe you like when people notice you, you want fame, that’s your juice. Maybe you like money and buying shit, and that’s the juice.” Whatever ‘the juice’ really is, people want it. The phrase has become synonymous with the streamer and especially the Overwatch community where “juice” is often used to describe leaks, insider drama and “juicy” gossip.

xQc slams Twitch for allowing nudity while keeping gambling banned – Dexerto
xQc slams Twitch for allowing nudity while keeping gambling banned Kick/xQcKick streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel was baffled by Twitch’s decision to allow “artistic nudity” and called out the platform for having double standards when it comes to kids’ safety. Streaming platform Twitch shocked the internet on Wednesday by revealing several big community guideline changes regarding sexual content in the wake of a new “topless” meta. In December, more and more streamers began broadcasting while “topless” but cropping the video so as to not break the site’s TOS. Despite Twitch originally banning those creators, the site abruptly changed course and decided to allow certain types of nudity, when under the proper label. This move came just over a year after the site decided to ban gambling to ‘protect viewers,’ something which xQc was quick to point to, accusing the streaming platform of hypocrisy. xQc says Twitch “doesn’t care” about kids for allowing sexual content Speaking with his chat about Twitch’s recent decision and how he doesn’t understand how gambling is banned while sexual content is becoming more lenient. “You’re not going to gaslight everybody with ‘protect the children’ when you ban gambling on Twitch,” he said. Lengyel then took aim at how multiple streamers, such as Pokimane, opposed gambling on the site while remaining silent on the rise of sexual content and the “topless” meta. “The whole world rallied together, made a big picket fence line and was like ‘protect the children, please!’ And then their platform enables pole dancing, twerking, d*cks out, and drawings of actual [sexual content]. What about the children now? Where they at now?” he blasted. According to xQc, the streamers who wanted gambling banned don’t care about children and were actually jealous that he and other creators were making bank with gambling content. “Holy f**k! How hard is that to understand?!” Lengyel exclaimed. Not everyone shares the same take as xQc, however. Twitch star Asmongold applauded the change as a big W, claiming the site has “never been a safe space for underage people.” Click here for more Twitch news and the biggest viral stories right here on Dexerto.

xQc slams Travis Scott’s “joke” apology following Astroworld tragedy – Dexerto
xQc slams Travis Scott’s “joke” apology following Astroworld tragedy Twitch: xQc/Instagram: travisscottTwitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel reacted on stream to Travis Scott’s Instagram story in which he apologized for the tragedy that happened at his concert festival, Astroworld. On November 5th, rapper Travis Scott held a music festival in Houston, Texas, called ‘Astroworld.’ The festival showcased several musical acts, with Scott being the main attraction. During his performance, a crowd of 100,000+ people surged the stage, resulting in the death of multiple attendees and even more injured. The tragedy quickly became the talk of social media, with concert-goers talking about their experiences in an attempt to get the story into the hands of more people. On his November 7 stream, xQc reacted to an apology from the rapper that he posted on his Instagram Story, calling it “a joke.” xQc reacts to Travis Scott apology After a viewer put a link to the apology in the streamer’s chat, he quickly opened the video to react to it. Seconds later, xQc shared his initial thoughts: “His apology’s a f**king joke, how do any of the people that work for him let him post this s**t?” With a disgusted look on his face, Lengyel went on to describe how the video is black and white, and the rapper keeps putting his hand on his head. While his chat was filled with skeptical comments about the rapper’s apology, xQc intensely focused on the video. However, it wasn’t long until he had something else to say. “This is so bad.. what the f**k is that?” he continued. “I feel like someone told him to post something. Who would post this?” Travis Scoot has been criticized on social media for not stopping the show sooner. Since the incident, the rapper, together with Drake, has been hit with a multple lawsuits. Houston police are continuing their investigations, and have said that they are looking into reports that somebody in the audience had been injecting people with drugs.

xQc slams SleightlyMusical’s “weird” YouTube apology after LilyPichu drama – Dexerto
xQc slams SleightlyMusical’s “weird” YouTube apology after LilyPichu drama YouTube: SleightlyMusical / Twitch: xQcFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has criticized Albert ‘SleightlyMusical’ Chang on his return to social media after a year-long hiatus since admitting to cheating on Lily ‘LilyPichu’ Ki, claiming his YouTube apology video was “weird, highly-produced, and highly-manipulated.” SleightlyMusical was thrusted into the spotlight in November 2019 after multiple members of the OfflineTV community, including ex-partner LilyPichu, claimed he had cheated on her. He called it “the worst decision of his life,” and went on a social media hiatus for almost a year. He made an apology back then, but has since returned and opened up a bit more about what he’s done over the past year. However, xQc isn’t buying it. The Canadian Twitch star has criticized Chang for releasing a “highly-produced” 11 minute return video, saying he should have just made an apology and moved on. “This is so weird. If you’ve made a big fuck up publicly, why make a highly-produced, highly-manipulated video? Just make a formal apology and move on with your life man. Don’t try and fabricate hype for it — that’s even more weird,” xQc said while watching the video on his October 5 Twitch stream. “It’s a big mistake. Just apologize with the facts — fucked up, here’s the facts, apology, move on. If people are not going to let you move on, it’s not because of how you apologized. Making a video won’t do shit.” xQc also stated that no matter what he does in the video, the minds of critics would already be made up. He said it was just a case of how the internet is nowadays. “People that won’t forgive you, won’t forgive you if you make a highly-produced video or apology. If you lay the facts how it is, no filter, people that want to forgive you will, and those that don’t want to won’t.” He also disagrees with Chang’s own claim that he was ‘canceled’ after the cheating scandal came to light. xQc instead believes that if Chang streamed the day after news came to light, he would have been able to rake in even more attention. “You didn’t get canceled. That’s not what being canceled means. That’s not true. If he went live the next day, he would have had more viewers than the day before. He chose to cancel himself. Being cancelled is where even if you want to reach something, you can’t because they cut off your arms — when you lose the means…your platform, your voice.” Chang’s return video, which was uploaded on October 5, has been viewed over 100,000 times within 12 hours. It’s unclear if Chang will be making a full-time return to content creation, although he has been working on “several creative projects [he’s] passionate about.” “I don’t know if the people I’ve hurt will accept my apologies. All I can do is work towards the day where I can forgive myself.”

xQc slams “stupid” people making jokes about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock – Dexerto
xQc slams “stupid” people making jokes about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock Twitch: xQc / Wikimedia CommonsFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel slammed people for making jokes about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards, claiming it’s “f**king stupid” given the seriousness of the incident. Will Smith slapping Chris Rock in the face at the 94th Academy Awards over a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith has become one of the biggest talking points on the internet, drawing reactions from all sorts of influencers. Some condemned the actor for doing it, while others commended him for protecting his wife’s honor. It’s also become quite a meme, with many making jokes about it. However, that doesn’t sit well with the juicer warlord, who claimed the people making light of it are “f**king stupid” and insisted “violence is never the right option.” Will Smith really just smacked Chris Rock at the Oscars What is going on?pic.twitter.com/VSVId8rAo3 — Dexerto (@Dexerto) March 28, 2022 “Holy f**k. That was just awkward,” he said after watching it for the first time. “That was a fat ass smack, though. Jesus Christ. Like, I get it. He made a bad joke. I get that he’s mad. But with the kind of slap that was, what if he actually hurt him? “I don’t think escalating to physical stuff is ever okay. People are saying it’s funny and that he slapped him and rolled his ass. But I think escalating to physical violence is never the right option, even if it’s just a slap. I don’t think it’s needed. “Even if he wanted to do that, he could have done it later or at another time. I don’t know. I get why people are laughing and making jokes, but I think it’s just f**king stupid. Will Smith is kind of an L lately.” Despite all the jokes and people defending him, Will Smith held himself accountable and apologized to Chris Rock on Instagram. “Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive,” he wrote. “My behavior at last night’s Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable. I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed. “My actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.” He also referred to himself as a “work in progress.”

xQc slams “pathetic” hot tub ‘meta’ on Twitch – Dexerto
xQc slams “pathetic” hot tub ‘meta’ on Twitch Twitch: xQc / AmouranthTwitch’s most-watched broadcaster, Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel, has hit out at the growing trend of hot tub streams on the platform, calling on Twitch to take action. Hot tub streams are not exactly entirely new on Twitch, and have been used sporadically as a way to get around Twitch’s policy on suggestive attire. Because Twitch will allow swimsuits to be worn if the context warrants it (such as being at the beach or swimming), the hot tub effectively operates as somewhat of a loophole to wear more ‘suggestive’ outfits. In early 2021, it has become a “meta” on Twitch – with an increasing number of streamers, mainly female streamers (though not only female streamers), doing frequent hot tub streams. xQc criticizes hot tub meta Joining a growing list of big-name broadcasters to criticize the new trend, xQc has called on Twitch to take action. “I’m gonna be honest, this hot tub meta is by far the most pathetic thing we’ve seen on Twitch in forever,” he wrote, in his signature all-caps tweeting style. “What a sad reality. Please get this trash off the front page.” IM GONNA BE HONNEST, THIS HOT TUB META IS BY FAR THE MOST PATHETIC THING WE’VE SEEN ON TWITCH IN FOREVER. WHAT A SAD REALITY. PLEASE GET THIS TRASH OFF THE FRONTPAGE — xQc (@xQc) April 19, 2021 Although these hot tub streams are rarely displayed in Twitch’s front page as recommended streams, if users sort by the highest-viewed channels, they may see a number of hot tub streams on the home page, as xQc mentions. Read More: xQc banned again from NoPixel – Fellow streamer Asmongold has argued that by allowing the ‘meta’ to continue, Twitch is contributing to an “anti-women sentiment” on the platform. The majority of Twitch users and streamers are male (by some estimates over 65%). Twitch has not addressed the controversy over the hot tub ‘meta’ at all so far. As more big names in the Twitch community speak out, the pressure builds on the Amazon-owned platform to respond.

xQc slams “scummy” million-dollar NFT offer: “It was fun to tell them no” – Dexerto
xQc slams “scummy” million-dollar NFT offer: “It was fun to tell them no” Twitch: xQcFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel revealed he knocked back an “astronomical” $1.2 million NFT sponsorship offer, describing it as a ‘scummy’ practice and claiming it was “fun to tell them no.” xQc isn’t a fan of NFTs. He’s described them as a “sh*t f**king product” and mocked esports teams who use them to profit from fans. However, he took his contempt to a whole new level by announcing he turned down a $1.2 million NFT sponsorship offer. He disclosed all the details on stream, revealing what it entailed and why he rejected it. “Today, I received an absolutely insane NFT sponsor offer,” said xQc. “The amount was astronomical.” However, the juicer warlord wanted nothing to do with it and knocked it back: “It was even more fun to tell them no.” “It was an overlay, a shoutout, visits for five minutes, and three tweets for 1.2 million dollars,” he explained, describing the offer. “That’s a f**king racket if I’ve ever seen one. No thank you, sir.” xQc also admitted it wasn’t the only NFT sponsorship deal he’s declined. “You’d be surprised. There’s a bunch of them that do that. It’s just how NFTs are….they’re just scum.” xQc isn’t the only streamer who is unenthusiastic about NFTs. Asmongold described them as “stupider than astrology.” Hasan and Pokimane share the sentiment too, although their criticism is aimed at those who promote them. Community opinion among gamers, including Dexerto’s Andrew Highton, is a mixed bag, too. Still, that hasn’t stopped game companies and studios like Nintendo, Take-Two, and Ubisoft from expressing interest in NFTs.

xQc claims Minecraft stars ‘abuse’ stan culture: “It makes them feel empowered” – Dexerto
xQc claims Minecraft stars ‘abuse’ stan culture: “It makes them feel empowered” Twitch: xQc / MicrosoftFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel claimed Minecraft streamers “feel empowered” from their cult-like followings, implying that it could be the reason why they don’t discourage fans from ‘stanning’ over them. The Minecraft YouTuber fandom has seen its fair share of criticism recently, whether it be Dream’s or someone else’s. Charlie ‘MoistCr1TiKaL’ White called out those stans for being “toxic” and “unhealthy” after Minecraft streamer TommyInnit revealed he needed to seek therapy after fans attacked him on social media. However, that view didn’t sit well with xQc. He disagreed with Cr1TiKaL’s view that there are a “lot of things” Minecraft streamers can do to discourage bad behavior from their fans, including a “blanket statement” telling them to stop “stanning” at all. Instead, he believes they ultimately don’t want to because they “feel empowered” from having a passionate and dedicated fanbase behind them, which he believes is the “real problem”. “It’s not about their fandom or their admiration,” said xQc. “It’s about the feeling of power when they do something. It’s about seeing the impact of what they do that actually causes something. Because whatever they do in real life… amounts to nothing, and they have no power.” “[For that reason,] whenever they tweet or they re-tweet [something and cause a stir], they can feel that they’re moving pieces somewhere, somehow, and it makes them feel empowered. I think that’s the real problem.” For lack of a better term, ‘stanning’ — the practice of being an overzealous or obsessive fan — has been a hot topic for a while now. However, it appears to be more prevalent in the Minecraft scene, especially after #CancelDreamStans trended in March 2021, which prompted him to call out a small sect of “horrible” fans. There have been many other incidents involving Minecraft stans since then, too. So, while most people want streamers to play a more active role in stamping out the toxic behavior from their fans, xQc insists the real issue is keeping streamers’ egos in check once they develop massive followings.

xQc slams Hasan amid break-up drama: “Friends don’t do that” – Dexerto
xQc slams Hasan amid break-up drama: “Friends don’t do that” Twitch: xQc/ HasanTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel hit out after his fellow streamer Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker shared his thoughts over his break-up with Adept. xQc and Adept found themselves surrounded by drama on September 16 when the former couple got into a heated argument in front of approximately 125,000 Twitch viewers during his livestream. Various streamers throughout the community have since shared their take on the drama, including Hasan who argued xQc could have handled the situation better in the lead-up to his absence from Shitcamp 2022. Although, Hasan’s views were a step too far for xQc who fired out at the 31-year-old, branding him a “snake” for supposedly spreading misinformation about him backing out of Shitcamp at the last minute, not knowing it was partly related to his split from Adept. xQc calls Hasan a “snake” for Shitcamp absence comments xQc was watching a clip from Hasan in which he claimed the Canadian streamer should have originally explained that he couldn’t attend Shitcamp 2022 due to “family issues.” Instead, Hasan assumed it was so he could do gambling streams and posted a series of tweets slamming him for bailing out of the streaming event. However, as soon as he learned the real reason, he claimed the party would have been more “understanding” if he’d been more honest about his absence. Although, it was still not enough for xQc who slammed Hasan for his comments: “[Those tweets] sent everybody against me and he knew it would and also friends don’t f**king do that.” xQc stressed that it wasn’t the size of the call out but he was more upset over the fact that “a friend would intend the worse” and “put words into [his] mouth” supposedly “on purpose.” “Why? Why would you do that,” he asked. “That is the definition that everyone would agree on of what we call a snake.” xQc attempted to play games with his friends throughout the remainder of his livestream. Although, with the topic still continuing to dominate the streaming community, it’s likely the drama is far from over.

xQc slams heartbreaking Squid Game contestant: “skill issue” – Dexerto
xQc slams heartbreaking Squid Game contestant: “skill issue” Streaming sensation xQc has hit out at people criticizing Netflix after Squid Game: The Challenge contestant 299 was “bullied” by his team in a heartbreaking moment. It’s fair to say Squid Game was a mega-success, with the award-winning K-drama taking over the world for a brief period of time. The show quickly became Netflix’s most-watched show in the streaming platform’s history. Of course, with its huge success, Netflix has not only followed up by confirming a second season but also released a reality game show inspired by the hit Korean show, where 456 players compete for a 4.56 million dollar prize. However, many fans have since hit out at Netflix over contestant 299, who was “bullied” by his team during the Dalgona Challenge before breaking down into tears on camera. “This is not entertainment. This is a man who just lost a chance at getting a life-changing amount of money realizing he lost everything and shutting down on camera. Netflix lost the plot,” one wrote on Twitter/X, which has amassed over 80k likes at the time of writing. xQc hits back at Squid Game: The Challenge critics Hitting back, streaming star xQc has slammed those criticizing the streaming service. “Skill issue, literally. POV: Sheltered, weak person realizes not everyone wins in a game show,” he said. “50k likes for a tweet from someone who doesn’t understand contestants enter willingly, knowing they will be filmed.” The streamer added: “Netflix is not evil for this, stop crying.” Skill issue, literally.

xQc slams Forbes’ claims he had racist and homophobic controversies – Dexerto
xQc slams Forbes’ claims he had racist and homophobic controversies Twitch: xQcPopular Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has reacted to claims made by Forbes that allege he previously had racist, homophobic, and sexually explicit content controversies. Twitch star xQc is one of the biggest streamers in the world, boasting an impressive 11M followers on the Amazon-owned platform alone. While the 26-year-old began streaming in 2014, he kicked off his career just a few years later competing in Overwatch, where he grew his audience tremendously. Today, Lengyel is one of the most popular creators on the internet, and now he’s slammed Forbes for claiming he’s had controversies that never happened. xQc hits out at Forbes During the streamer’s September 6 broadcast, he reacted to his own subreddit, where fans share almost anything related to him. One of the top posts of the week noted that Forbes listed xQc as a Multiversus streamer. However, he was a bit more concerned about the bio written on him, which claimed he’s had racist, homophobic, and sexually explicit content controversies in the past. The Twitch star admitted that a moderator had sent him the Forbes mention on Discord, but he didn’t believe it was actually real. “This is just troll though. That’s just troll. That’s so weird,” he said. “I mean, I guess it could be worse,” one viewer wrote in chat. However, ‘The Juicer’ wasn’t pleased: “But, that’s really bad though,” xQc exclaimed. “Racist, homophobic, explicit content? Guys that is cooked, how could it be worse?” He continued: “That’s really bad though. When did I do racist explicit content and homophobic explicit content? None of these things have ever happened. None of these things happened. That is not real! Jesus, man.” It’s worth noting that during his pro days, xQc came under fire due to homophobic remarks made toward a rival player, as well as using emotes in a “racially disparaging manner” toward an Overwatch League caster. He was then later released from his team Dallas Fuel. Previously, the streaming star has also been banned on Twitch for showing sexually suggestive content. However, xQc has claimed that racist or homophobic explicit content has never happened.

xQc slams Ethan Klein for laughing during QTCinderella’s response to deepfake drama – Dexerto
xQc slams Ethan Klein for laughing during QTCinderella’s response to deepfake drama Twitch: xQc / YouTube: H3 PodcastTwitch star xQc had some harsh words for Ethan Klein after the H3H3 member laughed while watching QTCinderella tearfully condemning a website selling deepfakes of female streamers. Several women on Twitch are speaking out after discovering a website that sold access to inappropriate deepfakes of various female streamers. The site came to light on January 30, after Twitch streamer Atrioc was seen visiting it during one of his broadcasts in a tab on his browser. Since then, some of the women affected by the site have spoken out against the deepfakes — and one is even threatening legal action. QTCinderella, a prominent Twitch streamer and founder of such events as the Streamer Awards, went live in a tearful broadcast that same day, promising to sue the founder of the deepfake website. “It should not be part of my job to have to pay money to get this stuff taken down,” she said. “And to the person who made that website? I’m going to f*cking sue you. I promise you. With every part of my soul, I’m going to sue you.” (Topic begins at 2:55) While many of QT’s fans and other streamers were sympathetic to her feelings, another influencer is coming under fire for his response to her message. Ethan Klein of H3H3 reacted to QTCinderella’s statement during an episode of the H3 Podcast, during which one of his team members, Zach Lewis, started playing a slowed-down version of ‘The Christmas Song’ by Nat King Cole. Klein immediately started giggling, drawing what many viewers believed to be critical reactions from his other crew members. A few even hid their faces from the camera during the ordeal, with one saying, “Zach, what the f*ck, bro?” The clip soon went viral on social media, drawing even more criticism over Klein’s reaction to the situation and the inclusion of the song over QT’s tearful message. xQc hits out at Ethan Klein over reaction to QTCinderella deepfake response Even Twitch star xQc, one of the most-followed broadcasters on the platform, had something to say about it. “Yo, what’s going on with this guy, man?” he said after watching the clip for himself. “Bro, you know what this guy looks like? He looks like the f*cking opossum that’s under my f*cking house.” “This motherf*cking opossum, this piece of sh*t. I swear, I’ll catch him going up to the side of my house and he’ll run under my house and he’ll scratch under my desk. I’m not kidding. He looks like my opossum.” xQc went on to compare him to a “human who has just been pulled out of the Matrix,” a statement said by TrainWreck during the stream. Ethan Klein apologizes for laughing during QTCinderella deepfake message Ethan Klein apologized for the incident a few moments later. “You know what, guys? It’s not funny, and I’m very sorry about that. Zach’s a f*ckin’ psychopath and played the chestnut song.” “I support her,” he also said. “And I know it sucks, but the legal aspect, as horrible as it is, is how stuff changes.” (Topic begins at 3:02:17) For now, it’s unclear what will happen in the future regarding the deepfake site, but QT is adamant that legal action will be taken on behalf of herself and the other women affected by it.

xQc slams “dogsh*t merch” streamers send to him for free promo – Dexerto
xQc slams “dogsh*t merch” streamers send to him for free promo Twitch: xQcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has said he doesn’t want “dogsh*t merch” samples sent to him by fellow creators. xQc is by far one of the biggest streamers in the world. With over 11M followers on Twitch alone, its fair to say he’s a prime target for those looking to promote themselves. With hundreds of thousands of viewers tuning in each stream, he tends to receive a ton of merch samples from his fellow creators who hope to put their brand in front of his massive fanbase. However, the juicer has now opened up, revealing that he feels bad for those buying “dogsh*t” merch that he receives. During his September 3 live stream, the 26-year-old explained how he’s currently in a dire situation when it comes to his wardrobe, claiming he’s only got two shirts to wear. It was then that the popular Twitch streamer admitted that he used to collect free samples from clothing brands wanting to work with him on producing merch. However, he explained how he’s tired of receiving “dogsh*t” samples from fellow content creators trying to promote themselves. “You should see the dogsh*t merch I get from other creators. I don’t wear them because I don’t want to give them free promotion you know? “I get merch from all the other streamers because they give me samples to try them on and they are dogsh*t. It is so f**king dogsh*t like I feel bad for people that buy merch from other streamers with real life money and get this garbanzo.” he said. Hesitant to name drop anybody, the Twitch star continued: “Holy f**k man. I don’t even know man. Okay, I’m not going to say who, I’m not going to call anybody out okay? But, it’s at least 15 plus streamers that are all pretty big. All about 7k to 10k viewers.” However, he did note that he once received a sweatshirt from Karl Jacobs, which was surprisingly good quality. It’s fair to say it’s probably not the best idea to send your merch to the juicer after he’s been so critical of others.

xQc slams “chat hoppers” who bounce between Twitch streams to create drama – Dexerto
xQc slams “chat hoppers” who bounce between Twitch streams to create drama Twitter: xQcxQc confessed it’s good to not be in the middle of all the GTA RP drama right now but slammed “chat hoppers” who bounce between streams and harass others to create more drama. Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has been involved in a fair share of GTA RP drama in recent weeks. It all started when he exploited a glitch, which resulted in a second ban. But he apologized and has turned a new leaf since then. However, drama on the server is still at an all-time high—feuds between streamers and gangs popping up all over the place. But interestingly, it’s their fans and viewers who are at the center of it all, hopping between streams to harass each other in Twitch chat. It’s something xQc knows all too well. He talked about it in his latest stream and condemned all “chat hoppers,” regardless of whose side they’re on. “It feels kind of decent to not be in the middle of the drama right now,” he said. “It can get annoying when you’re in the middle of it, and you’re the one getting targeted, or you’re the one doing it.” First, he took a swipe at emotionally charged fans who feed off the drama without knowing the context of a situation. “They don’t understand what the f**k is going on but bark the loudest. They know nothing at all… [but] they have the strongest opinions.” Then, he set his sights on those who take it a step further and hop between streams and shared an important lesson he learned from his own experiences in dealing with them. “Chat hoppers are complete c*ncer. But when drama is happening, and there’s a lot of chat hopping going on, I’ve realized that if you throw the ball back… you not only reward the hoppers, [but you also] encourage your own people to become hoppers in retaliation. You create a big hopping environment.” He wrapped things up by saying all streamers need to be mindful about that, including himself. “It’s a big problem [to be] spending so much energy on the people that don’t care, leaving you with none for the people that do.” xQc’s fans believe he’s learned a lot from previous dramas’ involvement, and his latest comments support their claims. The key takeaway, though, is that he’s condemned all “chat hoppers,” including ones from his own massive Twitch community. Only time will tell whether it actually helps discourage the behavior.

xQc slams ‘disgraceful’ Amouranth & Indiefoxx after ASMR Twitch bans – Dexerto
xQc slams ‘disgraceful’ Amouranth & Indiefoxx after ASMR Twitch bans Twitter: Amouranth/Indiefoxx / YouTube: xQcFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyell has blasted Twitch streamers Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa and Jenelle ‘Indiefoxx’ Dagres after they picked up bans from the platform, amid controversy over their ASMR streams. For a time, the biggest controversy on Twitch was over the ‘hot tub meta’, which took over the Just Chatting category. Some streamers were using the “contextual exceptions” clause, which permitted the wearing of swimwear in certain places, to broadcast from hot tubs while wearing exposing clothing. Since the introduction of the Pools, Hot Tubs and Beaches category, however, the most famous hot tub streamers, Amouranth and Indiefoxx, have moved into the ASMR category and produced some polarizing content involving wearing tight leggings and licking microphones. On June 18, Twitch took a stance against this new content and banned both streamers within minutes of each other. But the platform has also been criticized by prominent streamers such as Summit1g and Asmongold for not putting their foot down earlier. And xQc is one of the latest high-profile streamers to offer their take on the situation, as he angrily criticized Amouranth and Indiefoxx for their abuse of the ASMR category. “I think it’s been a disaster,” he said. “To sit on the sidelines and watch people break the rules and do it so shamelessly and with a smile on their face, laughing at how they’re getting away with it, and how they’re making money with it.” xQc also believes, while action has been taken, the debacle could cause long-term relationship issues between Twitch and its partnered streamers. “I think it caused a lot of damage and distrust with the people and the partners,” he added. “Because people can bend one rule and laugh with it, and others can’t. I’m sad action didn’t get taken earlier.” Mobile users: skip to 1:44 The former Overwatch pro then explained why Indiefoxx, whose latest ban is her fifth, should have already been permabanned, and accused Twitch of ‘double standards’ with other streamers who break the rules. He added: “This person should have been permabanned [before] the last two bans. Now it’s three past the line, and is now still gonna get a small temp[orary ban]. “And I think that’s a f***ing disgrace, that’s what it is. I don’t even know these people, but this rubs off on people really badly. This creates a very negative environment for other partners. See, if they break two or three rules over two years, they’re gonna get clapped on.” It’s not yet known if and when Amouranth and Indiefoxx will be unbanned from Twitch, but the former certainly won’t be out of pocket either way, given the influx of OnlyFans subscriptions she’s received since the ban hammer came down.

xQc slams CallMeCarson fans for “downplaying” grooming scandal – Dexerto
xQc slams CallMeCarson fans for “downplaying” grooming scandal Twitch: xQc / CallMeCarsonFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel slammed Carson ‘CallMeCarson’ King fans who are “downplaying” the seriousness of his grooming scandal, claiming the fact there was two years difference in their age is beside the point. CallMeCarson has been a hot topic ever since he was first accused of grooming underage fans back in January 2021. It kicked up a notch after he made several appearances on social media, and ramped up even further following his surprise Twitch return. Many people cut ties with him following the allegations. Some people claimed they were pressured into doing it by social media users. However, Ludwig ‘Ludwig’ Ahgren believes it’s because Carson was a “terrible friend” who “lied” to them about the situation. Still, other people like Asmongold played the whole thing down, claiming he isn’t a “predator” but merely a “horny goofball” who talked to girls within two years of his age. And a portion of Carson’s fanbase sees it that way, too. xQc isn’t buying into that narrative, though. In addition to claiming Carson took advantage of a “power dynamic,” he insisted that Carson was “probably getting hundreds of direct messages from hundreds or dozens of people.” But despite that, he still made the choices that he did. He also slammed people who keep bringing up the two-year age difference between Carson and those who accused him. “I don’t know why people go either way to downplay it [by saying things like] it’s literally two years,” he said. Read More: What happened to CallMeCarson? – “How do you not understand? If you guys want to play the legal card on me, I’ll tell you about the legal card. It can be a couple [of years]. And depending on the place, even one year can be illegal. So, what are you on about?” After some viewers clapped back at his initial comments, xQc had enough and decided to change the topic. But it re-ignited the debate in a Reddit thread, which already spans hundreds of comments with points on either side. People are still divided on the issue. However, that won’t stop Carson from trying to make a comeback sometime soon. As for how that goes down, well, it all depends on whether or not the internet is ready to welcome him back.

xQc slams fans of ‘cancel culture’ following James Charles and Tati Westbrook drama – Dexerto
xQc slams fans of ‘cancel culture’ following James Charles and Tati Westbrook drama Popular Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is no stranger to weighing in on an array of topics during his streams, and he had a few words to say on ‘cancel culture’ during his May 29 broadcast. This comes directly after the James Charles and Tati Westbrook drama, which created shockwaves throughout the internet and caused a lot of controversy regarding cancel culture and whether it’s right or wrong. Beauty YouTuber Tati Westbrook uploaded a 43-minute video titled ‘BYE SISTER’, in which she ultimately put the brakes on her friendship with James Charles and accuses him of taking advantage of her, while also putting him on blast for “trying to convince straight men that they’re gay” and for promoting a competitor’s hair vitamins. The internet hated James Charles for a little bit and called for him to be ‘cancelled’, until he hit back with his own evidence and seemingly flipped the situation, with many fans now directing their hate towards Tati instead. Overwatch pro xQc has since weighed in on cancel culture during his stream, where he watches a Jubilee video on the subject, titled ‘Should We Cancel Celebrities for Their Crimes?’ In the video, a group of people are asked to divide into two groups of ‘Anti-Cancel Culture’ and ‘Pro-Cancel Culture’, before being requested to take a seat in the middle of the room if they disagreed with the statement ‘I would buy an artist’s work even if they committed a violent crime.’ As the people begin to move to sit down, xQc gets visibly irritated, shouting, “fuck you, fuck you, fuck all of them.” “You’re a bunch of fucking cucks, dude,” he exclaims angrily. “They lie to themselves, dude. Even if they even owned a Spotify account, they support these people, dude. Even if you simply own an account, you support them. Like, what the fuck is wrong with these guys?” Cancel culture is such a divisive and difficult subject to talk about, so it’s easy to see why xQc got so heated when talking about it.

xQc slams Blizzard for their ‘obsession with control’ of Overwatch content – Dexerto
xQc slams Blizzard for their ‘obsession with control’ of Overwatch content Overwatch League pro Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has slammed Blizzard for the way they handle content in the league – claiming fans barely care about the stuff they put out currently. xQc created tips and tricks content about the game on YouTube before becoming a pro player with the Dallas Fuel – however, he was released by the Fuel and left the Overwatch League after picking up two suspensions for his comments towards other players and casters. He is, however, extremely critical of the way Blizzard handles content from teams and players within the league – with xQc believing that the need for approval from the very top and sporadic posts doesn’t help. While playing Apex Legends alongside current Atlanta Reign player Daniel ‘Dafran’ Francesca, xQc asked if Dafran was in California before telling him that he’d visit him at his new team house in the near future. “Dude, I can do a IRL stream at the house,” xQc said, before Dafran quickly told him “No, no, we have to do a house tour first.” However, the former pro wanted that video to be produced soon. “Oh dude, then fucking post it, you fucking bitch,” he told Dafran. However, he wasn’t finished there. xQc then began a lengthy rant by again asking the current pro “Dafran, how hard can it be to film the house for ten minutes and post it? It can’t be that hard. No, the problem is that Blizzard wants to control everything and they want every single file that ever comes across their desk to review everything.” He continued his rant, turning his aim further towards Blizzard: “If you make content, you have to send it to your boss, then send it to your org, they send it to the top and then they send it to Blizzard and they approve it and then you can post it. It takes sixty fucking million years to post anything at all dude. It’s so trash.” He finished his passionate rant by stating: “People barely want to consume the content that Orgs put out because they’re so new yet they take so long to do it and they do it so sporadically – honestly, it’s dogshit but whatever, I’m going to stop ranting. Shit drives me up the wall dude.” The highly-anticipated second season of the Overwatch League kicks off on February 14 but it’s unlikely that xQc will be tuning in for any pre-game videos.

xQc shut down by perfectly timed donation – Dexerto
xQc shut down by perfectly timed donation xQc/YouTubeFormer Overwatch pro xQc has established himself as a huge personality on Twitch with high-energy streams and top-tier gameplay, but a funny donation message from a viewer left him speechless. Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel rose to prominence as an Overwatch player and was already well-known in the community before joining OWL team Dallas Fuel in Season 1 due to consecutive suspensions in November and December 2017. In his time with Dallas Fuel, he was suspended for most of Stage 1 and then again in Stage 2. He and Fuel mutually agreed to part ways, and he decided to focus on content creation; something that has been working out well for the Canadian so far. While streaming co-op puzzle game We Were Here Together, xQc wasn’t able to reconnect with teammate Chance ‘sodapoppin’ Morris, and then went to reset the game and claimed, “It was bugged, I don’t care” – at which point, the most perfectly timed donation message came in. “No it wasn’t bugged, you idiot, you had to move the shields,” the automated text-to-speech voice said. “The phoenix was on the right side of the shield.” Completely speechless, all xQc could think to respond was, “Shut up,” clearly clueless as to how to respond to the quip. It’s not often you see xQc with nothing to say, and his chat evidently loved everything about the incredible moment. Whether xQc loved it too remains to be seen; he simply sat in silence for a few moments, not looking too pleased, until sodapoppin spoke to him again. It’s rare you get to see such a perfectly-timed donation on stream, especially when stream delays and the like come in to play, so this is something the donator – and fans watching – are going to have to savor for a long time.

xQc shuts down rumors he’s back with Adept after she appears on his stream – Dexerto
xQc shuts down rumors he’s back with Adept after she appears on his stream Twitch: xQc / AdeptWhen one of Twitch’s most famous couples, xQc and Adept, split earlier in September, drama was sure to erupt. The pair are not back together though, despite Adept appearing on his stream, according to xQc. Their breakup was just one of many streaming-related dramas that took place in September, which also saw SlikeR admitting to scamming fellow streamers, sexual assault allegations, and the gambling meta controversy. With millions of fans, there are many who are deeply invested in the relationships of their favorite streamers, for better or for worse, and so when Adept appeared on xQc’s stream in the small hours of the morning, rumors immediately began. However, after Adept left, xQc was quick to shut the speculation down: “No, one, we are not back together.” In classic xQc style, he then mumbles incomprehensibly but appears to mock his chat for speculating about it in the first place. He also later explained that Adept had simply come over with a friend because her friend needed to use the toilet – although many fans doubted this was actually the case, spamming ‘Kappa’ and “sure.” For now, no matter what is going on between them, clearly, they are both hesitant to make anything public, instead attempting to eliminate the speculation before it festers.

xQc shows off his rapping skills in hilarious Minecraft stream – Dexerto
xQc shows off his rapping skills in hilarious Minecraft stream xQc, Facebook / TryHardNinja, YouTubePopularOverwatch play – but he has a little known talent, which he showcased during a game of Minecraft in mid-September. While xQc might be an Overwatch pro, he isn’t leery of taking on challenges from other games, taking part in KEEMSTAR’s Minecraft Monday tournament series since its inception – even winning the event on September 10. However, xQc isn’t just focused on the competition: the streamer also knows how to have fun, as evidenced by his surprise performance during a broadcast of the game with fellow streamer “M0xyy.” The duo were in the middle of a Minecraft minigame when xQc asked M0xyy to drop a beat, which he proceeded to rap over in a hilarious segment that showcased his hilarious freestyling skills. “It’s MC Skelly and MC Ghetto up in this bitch,” he began. “MC Ghetto/Me and M0xyy ‘bout to get rich like John (Jared?) Leto/Pop a cap in a bitch ass/With a stiletto – aight M0xyy, kick it!” Unfortunately, M0xyy’s own rapping skills weren’t any better, with the streamer and Minecraft pro making up rhymes on the fly at random. “Yo, yo, you know me, I’m from the Ghetto,” M0xxy continued. “I eat you up like you’re just a piece of fuckin’ jello/You’re turning real red, I’m ‘bout to turn you yellow/The gas to the burner, burner – and then turner/I grab your hoe, and then she’s mine/I bring her back to my bro, xQc on the flow, okay!” The two played off of each other for another minute before M0xxy made a “mom joke,” which xQc called out, accusing him of falling back on basic material before continuing his stream. This wouldn’t be the first time xQc has delved into shenanigans during a game of Minecraft, by far: in fact, the streamer exchanged verbal blows with Tyler “Ninja” Blevins during Minecraft Monday on September 10, roasting Ninja’s partnership with streamer “Technoblade.” “…I feel like he went for the bigger streamer instead of the better team mate,” xQc joked. “Me and M0xyy have something indestructible, and that’s friendship.” No matter the game, xQc shows that he knows how to have fun – even if his rapping skills could use a little work.

xQc shows viewers why he chose video games over a singing career – Dexerto
xQc shows viewers why he chose video games over a singing career Twitch: xQcOW / PixabayPopular Twitch personality Félix ‘xQc‘ Lengyel sent his viewers into hysterics by showing them his amazing singing voice while playing Twitch Sings during his June 14 broadcast. While the Canadian-born streamer is widely known for his amazing Overwatch skills, he livestreams a lot of other types of content on Twitch too. His June 14 broadcast took a musical turn, as he decided to play a few rounds of karaoke in Twitch Sings – and the results were too funny. He wants your love The first song xQc decided to sing was Lady Gaga’s ‘Bad Romance’ – an electropop ballad released in 2009. “Rah rah ah ah ah ro-mah ro-mah-mah!” he begins, almost speaking instead of singing, and completely out of time and beat with the song. “Gaga oh-la-la want your bad romance!” He then continues to sing the lyrics too quickly, obviously unfamiliar with the song, before waiting for the music to catch up. “I want your love. Love, love, love, I want your love!” He could shatter glass with his high notes The streamer then decided to honor Freddie Mercury’s memory with a questionable rendition of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. After he smashed the first verse, he continued on into the chorus, shouting the iconic line “MAMAAAAA, OOOOOOH!” with the grandeur of a strangled cat. “Y’all gotta turn your speakers down, bro!” he laughs, as viewers comment on how loud he was. “Country roads, take me home” xQc’s best performance was a cover of John Denver’s ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’ – a song which blew up across the internet, and inspired many memes. He actually sings the song quite well compared to the other songs he covered, and really got into the spirit. “Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge mountains, Shenandoah River,” he starts, before belting the chorus. “Country roads, take me home! To the place I belonggggg!” His Twitch Sings session was absolutely hilarious – even if he did prove that his esports career was his best decision. Who knows, maybe we’ll see xQc on Canadian Idol in the future.

xQc shows off diamond Minecraft Ender Dragon pendant – Dexerto
xQc shows off diamond Minecraft Ender Dragon pendant xQcxQc has revealed he has purchased a diamond-encrusted pendant that resembles Minecraft’s boss the Ender Dragon. xQc’s rise to popularity over the past few years has led the creator to become one of the largest creators in the world. Due to his success, he is suspected to be considerably wealthy. Especially in June, when it was even revealed that he signed an infamous $100 million deal with streaming service Kick. Furthermore, he has had a habit of making some expensive purchases. Such as a $300,000 Lamborghini supercar, a six-figure watch, and he has often been seen wearing various diamond-filled jewelry Now, he has added his perhaps most eccentric piece to his collection after sharing with his viewers his brand-new custom-made diamond pendant resembling Minecraft’s final boss. xQc gets diamond-encrusted Minecraft Ender Dragon pendant During his stream on October 14, the streamer was watching Minecraft creator Forsen trying to break the Ender Dragon speedrun that xQc holds at 16 minutes and 38 seconds. The two have gone back and forth for years as they have tried to beat each other’s times to be the fastest to defeat the final boss. After watching Forsen fail to beat his record multiple times, he revealed: “If he beats the record chat, he can have the trophy that I have made for him.” He later called it: “The iced-out Dragon head,” before picking up and showing off the jewelry to his viewers. “Look at it, it’s the Ender Dragon, a little Trophy. It has black diamonds all over it, the horns are white diamonds and the eyes are amethysts,” xQc explains. “What the hell is that?” His friend reacted, to which he replied: “What man?!?” Aside from diamonds, within the same stream, xQc also was left outraged after he lost $820,000 due to Dillon Danis losing his fight to Logan Paul.

xQc shocks viewers with crazy Magic Mike dance moves – Dexerto
xQc shocks viewers with crazy Magic Mike dance moves Twitch: xQcOW / Warner Bros. PicturesFélix ‘xQc’ Lengyel may best be known for his Overwatch skills and popular Twitch streams but during a broadcast by his housemate Sammy ‘adeptthebest’, the Canadian stripped down and showed everyone his dance moves. While fans of xQc have come to expect his fast speech and explosive rants on his Twitch channel, the Overwatch pro has been willing to to step out of his comfort zone every now and then. Viewers were given a huge surprise during his housemate’s stream, when he hopped on for a collaboration and showed off dance moves that heated the entire room up. xQc gives his best Magic Mike impression Adeptthebest played the popular dance track ‘Dota’ by Basshunter, which has been used by many in the Valve game DOTA community as an unofficial anthem for their beloved game, when xQc entered the stream shirtless sporting a vest, and a cowboy hat. Hilariously, the Canadian then strutted and showed the audience his moves, as he moved back and forth re-creating the similar dance seen in the male stripper movie Magic Mike which came out in 2012. xQc didn’t last very long, as he quickly broke down laughing and said “it’s so bad” as he waved his arms back and forth, before exiting to the left. His roommate couldnt stop smiling, when xQc returned and said “Jesus Christ, that was like male stripper exactly.” “It was, that’s exactly what it was,” the streamer agreed. Then a cheeky sub then came in, and praised the Canadian for his dance moves, while simultaneously poking fun at his body. “Here is $25, take off the pants next! Dance for me you beautiful stick boy! Make my money worth it,” the text to speech donation hilariously read. The Overwatch pro then confidently said he could pull off the same thing in a speedo, to which his housemate laughed “That would be a look!” xQc has shown off his other talents before This isn’t the first time that the Canadian has graced viewers with his talent beyond gaming. During his June 14 broadcast, the Overwatch pro decided to show off his singing chops as well. Read More: Overwatch streamer hits back at Twitch – Belting out Lady Gaga’s ‘Bad Romance’, viewers got a taste of what the Twitch star could sound like on music shows like American Idol, or the X Factor. xQc again proves he’s a man of many talents. Channing Tatum should watch out, as the Canadian could be a force to be reckoned with, should they ever make a Magic Mike 3. The streamer is one of the top broadcasters on Twitch, with over 1,555,000 followers as of September 14.

XQc shows off an unorthodox keyboard repair technique – Dexerto
XQc shows off an unorthodox keyboard repair technique Twitch streamer and professional Overwatch Player Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel showed viewers an original keyboard repair technique involving a ukulele, some elbow grease and a little luck. After finishing a competitive round, teammates tell xQc they can’t hear him over his mic, “Yeah I know, I know, It’s my button,” he responds to his team. “I gotta fix that button,” xQc told viewers as he grabbed a random ukulele out from under his desk, after inspecting the strings or something on the front – probably to make sure his calibrations are right – he starts pounding away at the problem key. “Can you hear me now? Is it working? Is it better?” he asks after the first strike. The streamer then lined up another shot and whacked away again. After a third strike, it seems like xQc’s microphone button is working again, “Yeah it’s fixed now, it’s actually fixed.” He tells teammates before tossing the ukulele back under the desk. It almost seems like xQc has had some practice doing this hilarious ‘ukulele keyboard repair’ technique before. Next month, xQc will take the stage with the rest of Team Canada for the Overwatch World Cup, no word yet on whether he’ll be bringing the ukulele with him, or if he does, whether it will be allowed into the Blizzard Arena. It’s pretty unlikely this ukulele method will catch on to be a mainstream, DIY keyboard repair technique, but it is undoubtedly the most xQc way of keyboard repair ever.

xQc sends thirsty message to Ice Spice begging her to date him – Dexerto
xQc sends thirsty message to Ice Spice begging her to date him Twitch: xQc / YouTube: Ice SpiceTwitch star xQc is practically begging Ice Spice to date him after sending the rapper a thirsty reply on Twitter. Ice Spice is taking over the music world one song at a time. The ‘Boy’s a Liar’ singer broke onto the scene after rap star Drake shared her song ‘Munch’ on his SiriusXM radio station in August 2022, and it’s been off to the races ever since. She’s been turning heads all across the internet, with the likes of North West even cosplaying as the rapper in a series of viral TikToks that stirred up controversy online. Now, with her latest song ‘Princess Diana’ seeing major success alongside rap icon Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice is back on the radio in full force… and she’s catching quite a few people’s eyes, including those of Twitch streamer xQc. Although he’s not a rapper, Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel also has a massive following, currently standing as the 5th most-followed streamer on Twitch. xQc begs Ice Spice to date him in hilarious Twitter reply He’s made his love for Ice Spice very clear recently, but decided to turn things up a notch when the rapper posted a tweet saying: “Hi, I’m following everyone with a receipt.” Seeing his chance to shoot his shot, xQc was quick to reply to the ‘Munch’ rapper with a super thirsty response. “I lost my receipt because my dog ate it. I was the dog. Please date me.” This isn’t the first time Lengyel has attempted to link up with Ice Spice; just a few days prior, the streamer slid into her Instagram DMs with the help of ChatGPT after noticing her ‘Princess Diana’ bars included a line that said: “Tryna be low, he gon’ hit up my ‘Gram / If he smart, he gon’ act like a fan.” Unfortunately, it looks like his message fell on deaf ears, so he tried for Twitter instead. xQc isn’t the only streamer to have publicly declared his affections for a major celebrity, either. Adin Ross famously tried to DM ‘Wednesday’ actress Jenna Ortega, and Kai Cenat actually ended up meeting his celebrity crush, SZA, at one of her concerts.

xQc sets record straight on $100M Kick contract following Ninja’s “misleading” comments – Dexerto
xQc sets record straight on $100M Kick contract following Ninja’s “misleading” comments Twitch: xQcFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has clarified the details regarding his massive $100 million Kick contract after Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins labeled the deal “misleading.” Ninja, who is known for his own groundbreaking deals in the streaming world, recently spoke of being skeptical of xQc’s $100 million deal with Kick during a recent episode of the AFK w/ Ninja Podcast. Reflecting on his own major contract with Mixer in 2019, Ninja questioned the nature of xQc’s agreement with Kick, stating that he’d be willing to “bet a large amount of money” that xQc’s deal involved “gambling money, Stake money, Stake percentage” and that it “wasn’t just all cash.” In response, xQc has clarified the specifics of his $100 million contract with Kick and addressed what he termed “cringe” comments from fellow streamers, including Ninja, Pokimane, and Hasan. “The contract is very simple,” xQc explained before immediately dismissing the rumors of it involving gambling, crypto, or similar elements. “The deal has nothing to do with gambling, Stake, crypto, or anything like that. It’s like what you’d get from a corporate job – no equity, no stocks, no options.” In an effort to end the ongoing speculation, xQc also revealed the structure of his payment plan, including a heavy signing bonus and advance payments. “The contract is broken down into 24 months, and I get one month of that every time,” xQc stated. “Right now, it’s slowed down because I got a signing bonus and an advance. They gave me a chunk upfront, so not only do I get paid monthly, but I also got paid way more in the early months. It was kind of insane.” xQc, seemingly growing tired of fellow streamers “casting misinformation,” has now called for the likes of Ninja, Pokimane, and Hasan to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) so that they can access the specifics of his contract, debunking the speculation once and for all. “Everyone keeps talking, whether it’s Poki, Hasan, Ninja… I’ll have them sign the NDA. It’s just cringe. It’s not that it hurts me; they’re just casting weird doubts for no reason,” xQc said. “I could just debunk it if you want. Just ask, and I’ll show the whole thing.”

xQc says relationship with Nyyxxii ended after Adept accused him of cheating – Dexerto
xQc says relationship with Nyyxxii ended after Adept accused him of cheating Twitch: xQcTwitch star xQc has confirmed he and Nyyxxii have broken up and says that his ex Adept accused him of cheating. At the beginning of November, xQc went on record denying rumors that he was in a relationship with Nyyxxi after the two kissed on stream just weeks after xQc’s public break up with Twitch streamer Adept. On November 16, rumors of a breakup between the Twitch couple began after the two unfollowed each other on social media. Just a day later, xQc confirmed that he was in fact in a relationship, although cheating allegations from Adept led to the breakup. xQc reveals why Nyyxxi ended their relationship Following the rumors, DMs were leaked with Nyyxxii claiming that Adept called her on xQc’s phone – something that Felix has since revealed was true. However, he’s denied that he cheated on his ex. “It was a ‘close call,’ I guess. There was like two days in between,” the Twitch star explained. “She thought I cheated. I have nothing to hide. I don’t give a f**k what gets leaked.” According to the former OWL pro, he allowed Adept to go through his phone where she saw a message from Nyyxxii that she didn’t like and started calling her. The leaked Discord message from Nyyxxi reveals that Adept called her, allegedly told her to not talk about her with xQc and that he’s been lying to her. “I stream, and then I go to message him [and I realize] I’m blocked on everything. It’s f**king with my head,” the message reads. At the time of writing, neither Adept nor Nyyxxi has commented on the recent statements from The Juicer.

xQc says male streamers get made fun of for their looks more than women – Dexerto
xQc says male streamers get made fun of for their looks more than women YouTube: Pokimane / Twitch: xQcxQc argues that male streamers get made fun of for their looks more than women after Pokimane opened up about the “sad truth” of being a woman on Twitch. Twitch star Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys has been on the receiving end of quite a bit of criticism after hitting out at streaming platform Kick for being funded by Stake, a gambling company. While Anys has been vocally outspoken against the promotion of gambling on streaming sites in the past, her feelings toward Kick have ‘kicked’ up quite a bit of controversy as of late, sparking outrage against her online. Poki opened up about her experience as a female streamer in the midst of this criticism. She claimed the “sad truth” is that women have a hard time opening up online and saying how they really feel, and use the backlash against her as a metric for how they can expect to be treated by men on the internet. As an example of this, she brought up the time she was publicly lambasted across the internet after going makeup-free in a live stream back in 2018. “I will never forget one time, I had a girl come up to me, and she was like, ‘Oh, I stream sometimes,’” Anys said in a June 26 broadcast. “She basically said, ‘I’m way too scared to stream without makeup, because I saw what people did to you.’ I was like, that’s so f*cking sad.” xQc hits back at Pokimane’s claims about “sad truth” of being a female streamer However, newly-appointed Kick streamer xQc disagrees with her take on the situation. While watching Pokimane’s stream, he claimed that men get piled on for their looks far more than women. “Chat, can I be honest?” he began. “Guys, maybe I’m wrong about this. I see, by ratio, more male creators getting sh*t on for their looks — like the most edited, baldness, scuffed-ness, garbage — by their own viewers, than anything I see toward female creators.” “Am I wrong about that?” he continued. “Every streamer I know of, in their entirety, all have pictures of them with pure baldness and dents in their heads and garbage on their face, over and over again.” At the time of writing, Pokimane has yet to respond to xQc’s take on the matter… but she has commented on the response to her criticisms of Kick, saying “y’all want something to be mad about so bad.” This is just the latest argument to spawn about the treatment of men versus women in the streaming world following the drama that sparked as a result of Stranger Things star Grace Van Dien joining FaZe earlier this month.

xQc says people breaking into his house means he can’t go back yet – Dexerto
xQc says people breaking into his house means he can’t go back yet xQcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has given an update on his current living situation, and why it’s currently unsafe for him to go home. xQc has dealt with a laundry list of problems with his living situation. During a stream in June, the former Overwatch pro-player revealed he had been dealing with “daily” swattings of his home in Texas, which he was forced out of. In July, he revealed there had been a home invasion involving a man with a crowbar, leading to even more uneasiness about moving back into the house. When he moved into Sodapoppin’s streaming house, strange things started happening there as well, leading him to move out of there too. As he’s cycled through living situations, xQc provided an update on his plans and explained why it’s still not possible for him to go home. xQc living situation xQc responded to a comment in his Twitch channel regarding his living situation and said: “Millionaire by the way, moving house every two weeks? I have to move out dude, I can’t even go back to my house man, it’s not safe.” After a brief pause, the former Overwatch professional carried on and stated that people continue to show up at his home, making it unsafe for him currently. “Yeah, I don’t know,” Lengyel continued. “Maybe if people stop showing up to the f**king house and stop f***king breaking in maybe I’d go home dude. Jesus Christ.” It seems he’s completely fed up with the situation, and rightfully so. He’s said previously that even talking about the swatting problems on stream isn’t a great idea: “It kinda gets worse believe it or not.” As many fans have stated, they’d like to see the streamer back in familiar surroundings but they want it to be safe for him to do.

xQc says Kick is targetting Twitch streamers the “right way” after Hikaru’s non-exclusive deal – Dexerto
xQc says Kick is targetting Twitch streamers the “right way” after Hikaru’s non-exclusive deal Twitch: xQcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel believes Kick is going the “right way” about targeting Twitch streamers following the non-exclusive deal they’ve signed with Chess grandmaster Hikaru. As challengers have risen up to take a swing at knocking Twitch off the top of the streaming mountain, they’ve picked up a number of big streamers along the way – with the likes of Valkyrae, Ludwig, and Courage making YouTube their permanent home. The Amazon-owned platform is now facing a new threat from Kick, the Stake-backed platform that has sprung up in the wake of Twitch’s crackdown on gambling. Kick has already managed to sign Adin Ross away from Twitch, and while there have been rumors of signing more stars, they’ve given Chess maestro Hikaru Nakamura a non-exclusive deal that allows him to stream on both platforms. xQc explains why Kick is going the “right away” about signing Twitch streamers That, according to xQc, is the way that Kick should be going about trying to target new signees, rather than getting them to sign exclusive deals like Twitch, Mixer, YouTube, and other platforms have dished out. “People think that it’s bad that these guys are signing dual contracts. Guys, I said this years ago that this is the right way to do it,” the Canadian said during his March 29 stream. “I said this even when Mixer was a thing. One, it’s cheaper, and two, it creates an actual transfer. It creates an actual transfer that is gradual.” That gradual transfer xQc is talking about, likely refers to viewers. It’s something others have referenced, noting that having a presence on both, allows them to slowly build up their standing on the newer platform. Of course, it’ll be a struggle to hit the same view counts from Twitch on Kick initially, but over time, streamers could start reaching their usual figures. We’ll just have to wait and see if their prediction ends up being correct.

xQc says Kick streams are already “much better” than Twitch – Dexerto
xQc says Kick streams are already “much better” than Twitch xQc/TwitchStreaming star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has given Kick one mighty advantage over Twitch as he believes the Stake-backed platform has the “better” streams. When Kick first popped up in the early part of 2022, it was clear that it was going to challenge Twitch before long. The Stake-backed platform has enticed streamers with their 95-5 revenue splits and giving them more freedom when it comes to the content they stream. They’ve made a few big splashes too, signing streamers like xQc, Hikaru, and Adin Ross to massive contracts. A few of these deals, including both xQc and Hikaru, are non-exclusive, which means streamers can split their time between both Twitch and Kick without any worries. Since signing his reported $100m deal, xQc has been starting his streams on Twitch, before going to Kick a few hours before he ultimately wraps up. So, he’s gotten some insight into the differences between the two platforms. xQc believes Kick is already “better” than Twitch for one big reason The Kick vs Twitch debate has, naturally, popped up a few times during his streams, but during his August 1 broadcast, the former Overwatch League star decided to give some major props to the newer platform. “Kick is just better. I enjoy just chilling with chat and doing this s*it,” xQc said. “At the end of the day when it comes down to actual freedom, this is much better. That’s just the way it is. “I’ve streamed on Twitch forever and I was under a massive contract for four years, ok, and I’ll be honest with you dude, here I feel like I can just sit down and actually talk to chat – and that’s a massive f*cking W. That is more therapeutic than anybody I’m going to pay $1000 an hour to talk about my f*cking problems.” The fact that he streams later in the day and gets fewer viewers on Kick compared to Twitch, might have something to do with why xQc finds it a bit more chilled out. Kick hasn’t signed any big streamers since him, but they are on the look out for more. On top of that, the platform has continued to make waves off the internet too, becoming one of the sponsors for Premier League club Everton.

xQc says he’s not a fan of Adin Ross’ “recent behavior” but defends him from recent controversy – Dexerto
xQc says he’s not a fan of Adin Ross’ “recent behavior” but defends him from recent controversy xQc/Adin RossTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel admitted he’s not a fan of some of Adin Ross’ recent behavior, but questioned why some fans turned on him after a recent interaction. While he started out life on Twitch as an NBA 2K streamer, Adin Ross has become a pretty controversial figure over the last few months. The former Twitch streamer, who now streams on Kick, has caused a stir by asking fans to perform dangerous acts for money, hitting fellow streamers with fake DMCA claims, and going on a “transphobic rant” by claiming his pronouns are “kill/them.” The latter of which saw him apologize after Kick’s Twitter liked a tweet that blasted them for making him their poster boy. However, it was another one of controversies, where Adin lased out at OnlyFans model and Twitch streamer ‘Barely Alex’ after she criticized him on stream that caught the eye of xQc. xQc isn’t a fan of Adin Ross’s “recent behavior” The Canadian streaming star spoke to fans in Twitch chat while he wasn’t streaming on May 4 and touched on Adin’s recent conduct. “I don’t like some of Adin’s recent behavior, but something that really took me back is that one grill, spamming all his replies every day full of dog*hit trash. Everyone thinks it’s fine and funny. One day he calls her a fat b*tch, everyone turns on him,” xQc said in his offline chat. “How does that make sense? I’m not condoning any of that, per say, but the nature of that interaction is f*cking dog*hit.” The streamer added slightly to that as he referred to his community, noting that is not the sort of interaction he wants with his fans – even though they do go after him during streams. “I don’t give a f*ck, no one is canceling me. I don’t give a f*ck about public backlash lol, I care about my own chat and community, my daily life. I don’t want that sort of exchange be our daily commute u know?” he added. He didn’t really expand further on that, and moved on before concluding his chat with fans.

xQc says he has nothing to hide following Mizkif & Trainwreck drama – Dexerto
xQc says he has nothing to hide following Mizkif & Trainwreck drama Following an explosive feud on Twitter between streamers Mizkif and Trainwreck, Twitch megastar xQc claims he isn’t afraid of being exposed because he has nothing to hide. A few of Twitch’s largest streamers have rallied together in an attempt to have gambling banned from the live streaming platform. This followed the news that platform partner SlikeR had scammed his viewers and peers out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, long-time streamer and extensive gambler Trainwreck came to defend gambling on Twitch. His stance was that an entire category should not be banned from Twitch because of the actions of one streamer. This resulted in a feud between Mizkif and Trainwreck – one that took a serious turn for the former – resulting in inflammatory DMs being leaked and sexual assault cover-up allegations being lobbied at Miz. An avid gambler himself, xQc has issued his own opinion on Twitch gambling while offering his commentary on the ensuing drama. xQc has “no skeletons” in his closet During his “DRAMA” stream on September 20, xQc scrolled through Twitter and the LivestreamFail subreddit to give his take on the bonfire of Twitch drama. He pulled up a tweet from fellow streamer Malena that stated, “WE PLAYING LEAK WARS???? I GOT A WHOLE F**KING BOOK WORTH MY BROTHERS” Joke or not, xQc took this tweet at face value and responded accordingly. He stated, “I’m not afraid of anything. I’m not afraid of any leaks. I don’t have skeletons in my closet.” A member of his chat stated that xQc was instigating, to which xQc responded, “Yeah, cause I’m not a sh*tty person. I’m a decent person. That’s as good as I’ll get. Because then you never have to look over your shoulder.” He went on to claim that no one “has garbage” on him, and even touched on the controversies that arose during his time as a professional Overwatch player. “I did a lot of things in my ‘career’. Some of it, kinda weird. Some of it, kinda bad. Nothing is like ‘oh my god, that happened!’” xQc stated.

xQc says he was furious his relationship was “forced out” after trying to keep private – Dexerto
xQc says he was furious his relationship was “forced out” after trying to keep private xQcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel revealed his frustrations with his new relationship being made public after he tried to “keep things under wraps” and “private” like fans had previously suggested. Longtime viewers of xQc know all about his desires to keep personal relationships under wraps. For the longest time, viewers sort of knew he was dating Adept, but they played things down by constantly saying they were just roommates. Though, xQc’s dad did ‘expose’ that on more than one occasion. The pair separated in September 2022, with things getting a bit messy along the way. There have been claims that they were married and have gone through a divorce, with xQc ending a relationship with fellow streamer Nyyxxii shortly after becoming single too. Since then, he’s played his cards close to his chest about subsequent relationships, but at the start of June, he revealed that he had a new girlfriend – seemingly with Overwatch streamer FRAN – but things had been made a “living nightmare” due to his previous relationship. xQc annoyed relationship with FRAN has been revealed so soon After trying to keep things off-screen for a change, xQc voiced his frustrations with everything being made public during his June 3 stream. “I don’t like it. I did everything I could to keep things under wraps and keep things private and I was doing a really, really good job. Everything was chill, everything was cool,” he said. “Everything was exactly the way people always said ‘dude, if you don’t want people to be parasocial and harassing dude, keep it private.’ “I f*cking did. I’ve been with this person for like a month now. It’s like being forced out in the open, it’s f*cking trash, Nobody likes that s*it. It’s annoying it had to be that way.” The Twitch star added that he wasn’t “dying to tell” anyone about it, despite some accusations from others that he may have been. It remains to be seen if he’ll be a bit more open about things moving forward, but he’s clearly not a fan of it being revealed so soon.

xQc says Adept lawsuit is “all over” but there’s still one major issue – Dexerto
xQc says Adept lawsuit is “all over” but there’s still one major issue xQc/TwitchTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has confirmed that his legal disputes with his ex, Samantha ‘Adept’ Lopez, are “all over” but some things remain “complicated” when it comes to his cars. For years, xQc and Adept played down the fact that they were in a relationship together. The pair would regularly appear on each other’s streams, but they told everyone they were just roommates and that was that. However, in September 2022, things took a turn as they confirmed they’d broken up. Their break-up, naturally, became very public, with tense conversations being held on stream. Things got even more complicated when legal battles became involved. Fans discovered that the pair had filed for divorce, restraining orders were handed out, and a sexual assault investigation had been opened up against xQc. That was reportedly closed in August without any convictions. xQc confirms Adept lawsuit is finally “all over” However, during his December 4 stream, the Twitch and Kick star has revealed that the legal battles have finally ended. “They just gave me the news that I was no longer in any significant legal battle and it’s all over. It just kind of caught me by surprise,” the Canadian said. “I was just sitting there and I didn’t know how to act really. So, that happened, and yeah.” The former Overwatch pro also added that he “thought it would take months” and he’d “never see the day” it came to an end. xQc did note, however, that things remain “complicated” when it comes to his cars – including the infamous McLaren that Adept seemingly taken ownership of. “The cars are still frozen, in the state they were in before,” he added. “Just for now, because it’s a little bit complicated legally, but basically, the cars will be frozen for a little bit more.” The Canadian did add that he was hoping to talk about it more on stream in future, however, previous court filings have suggested neither he or Adept would be allowed to that.

xQc says Forsen’s Minecraft speedrun record is “shameless” and shouldn’t count – Dexerto
xQc says Forsen’s Minecraft speedrun record is “shameless” and shouldn’t count xQc / Forsen TwitchForsen responded to xQc’s Minecraft speedrun with a time that clocked in 28 seconds after than the French Canadian’s. But it’s how the “shameless” record came about that has xQc calling foul. For the esports fans, remember, these two streamers were at one time the players to beat in their respective fields. The spirit of competition displayed between is now largely revolving around downing Minecraft’s Ender Dragon. This time Forsen got the better of xQc. And while the former Overwatch pro concedes that the Swede has a solid record for a non-deathless run, he’s not entirely ready to give up the mantle in this fight. “This piece of shit strat,” xQc started, mere moments after Forsen landed the killing blow on the endgame boss. “Guys listen, this stupid, fucking Crying Obsidian strat–” XQc described the strat as ‘training wheel Andy,’ and isn’t impressed with Forsen taking a death in the midst of his path to a 27:42 run. “Nobody tell him, chat,” xQc retorted to Forsen’s on-screen celebrations of beating the previous mark of 28:10. “He beat me in the non-deathless category. Motherfucker died. Guys guys, nope. Doesn’t count. He died.” But the 25-year-old streamer went a bit further, calling Forsen’s attempt “shameless” for how he went about securing the new mark. “That is shameless. It is shameful that he died on purpose. That is ‘weirdChampionship,’” xQc said. So while a quicker time was recorded, xQc isn’t ready to relinquish any kind of title to Forsen. But he’s still willing to beat the record. While Forsen was celebrating, xQc confidently said he would beat the new run within the week, keeping the saga between the two alive for now. The retired Starcraft-turned-Hearthstone pro’s run had xQc on the edge of his seat. There were times when xQc looked a little tense leading up to Forsen finding the stronghold and the ensuing search for the portal. Though the ending was a little lackluster, he’s already thinking about raining down on Forsen’s parade with a new record attempt that should be on the way soon.

xQc ruthlessly blasts CSGO opponent during wholesome moment with kid – Dexerto
xQc ruthlessly blasts CSGO opponent during wholesome moment with kid Twitch/xQcOverwatch League pro turned full-time Twitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is easily one of the most entertaining streamers on the platform. His rage-induced antics often make for prime viewing, but underneath that raw energy, the French Canadian has a nice side. While playing CS:GO with a kid late on September 10, the famous esport personality sent the youngster an invite and decided to gift him some skins. The player’s reaction was absolutely priceless as he seemingly never expected the present to come his way. “Oh my God, I’m going to start crying,” the shocked Counter-Strike competitor gasped. “You did not. Why did you do that? Do you know how much money that is?” “It’s not a lot, dude,” Lengyel insisted while trying to focus on the game. This isn’t the first time the Canadian has shown off his heart of gold. While xQc is known to speak his mind on things and not hold back, this can also lead to him providing some pretty good advice to people. Notably, he gave advice to viewers with depression to get help from a professional because an entertainer is not qualified to help people with mental health issues. The match continued and eventually resulted in a loss for xQc and his new friend, resulting in a classic rage reaction from the Quebecois broadcaster. “Good job, cheater,” Felix said, referring to an enemy player before taking it to match chat. “Cheater ur way in a mm win,” xQc wrote. “Ur so good, ur retarded. “The game won’t make your dad come back.” Hilariously, at the same time, the Twitch star was responding to the kid who was thanking him once again for the skins. “Thank you so much, man. I really appreciate it. Bye have a good day,” the boy politely added. “You too, man” Felix replied while continuing to flame his opponent. “Ur mom is fat, ur dad is gone,” he wrote. As xQc tried to write out one final burn to his new enemy, he ran out of time before he could send the message and slammed his desk in frustration. The whole chain of events just goes to show the duality of xQc. He can be your best friend or worst enemy and both sides of him were on full display in this exchange.

xQc roasts fellow Twitch streamer Tyler1 in hilarious fashion – Dexerto
xQc roasts fellow Twitch streamer Tyler1 in hilarious fashion League of LegendsStreamer Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel responded to Tyler ‘Tyler1’ Steinkamp attempt to roast him in typical fashion – by taking shots at his height and lifestyle. The former Overwatch professional player had been streaming in the Just Chatting section of Twitch, looking through stream clips sent to him by his chat. After one fan sent him a clip of Tyler1 calling him and other streamers out as ‘Normies,’ xQc responded to the League of Legends streamer in a typical xQc outburst – flying off the handle in hilarious fashion and taking shots at a number of different things about T1. “Bro! Yo! This motherfucker sits there playing League of Legends all day, drinking water,” shouted xQc, beginning his rant. “Motherfucker drinks water unironically and he calls me a normie! Look, look at the emotes – Tyler1LUL. “Motherfucker drinks water out of his little sippy cup and his booster seat. Shit is unbelievable.” Seeing as the pair have streamed together in the past – most recently playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive together back in December – it’s unlikely that either of them were being totally serious with their respective comments. However, T1 has not responded to xQc taking shots at him for drinking water and playing League of Legends all day so it remains to be seen if he’ll fire back at the former Overwatch pro. Considering the fact that these are two of the loudest and most outspoken streamers on Twitch, an ongoing war of words would be sure to create some truly golden moments!

xQc roasts viewer over distracting donation during CSGO game – Dexerto
xQc roasts viewer over distracting donation during CSGO game Twitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has lashed out at one of his viewers over a donation during an intense game of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, saying the donor was getting “way too much value” for their distraction. Donations on Twitch are one of the few ways many of the platform’s content creators get by on a day-to-day basis. They are often a recognition for someone’s content — content that was obviously great enough to pay for — and every streamer is usually thankful for the contribution. However, for the Kings of Twitch like xQc, sometimes these donations are more of a nuisance, getting in the way of an intense gameplay moment. The star streamer has lashed out at some of these small donors for taking advantage of the donation system to distract him. On a November 26 stream, the millionaire French-Canadian was gifted a modest 300 bits by Twitch user ‘Fanboyphilly’, which is worth about $3. Any donation over $3 enables text-to-speech, with the donor using that feature to send a message to xQc about a new mouse pad. “Hey Felix, I have your new mouse pad,” the donation said. “I have it up in the attic with me. Felix, why don’t you come up into the attic and grab the mouse pad?” However, as the donation was playing, xQc missed a shot onto an opponent, leading to his demise. This sent the streamer onto a tirade about the three dollars he just earned not even being worth the death. “Yo, you donate all day saying the same stupid a** sh*t,” he said. “I am in over my f*cking head with your stupid sh*t for three bucks.” He then went on to say that for three dollars, his fans are getting way too much value to get featured. “You get too much value for the amount you pay — I am done with your sh*t dude,” he said. xQc isn’t the only streamer complaining about small donations recently, with Dr Disrespect ignoring a fan’s request to read out their $3 donation because of how small it was, calling out his fans who want their five seconds of fame to not bother. Given that these streamers earn millions of dollars through subscriptions, donations, and sponsor deals, a $3 donation is a drop in the bucket for them. While it’s considered common courtesy on Twitch for streamers to read out their fan’s contributions, it’s ultimately up to the streamer what they think is valuable. So, if xQc fans want to get noticed by their favorite streamer, they might have to cough up a bit more, or at least do it at a better time.

xQc roasts people holding GameStop stock after massive drop – Dexerto
xQc roasts people holding GameStop stock after massive drop Twitch: xQc/WikiMedia CommonsTwitch Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel took a few shots at those people who have held on to their GameStop stock instead of selling when the price was almost near its peak. For days, the GameStop stock craziness has taken over the internet – with many piling on and hoping to make some cash. Others have held on, trying to make a point about what the power of a group can do to the markets, instead of it just being left in the hands of Wall Street and Hedge Funds. The price, in the last few days, has tanked – with many losing money, and others missing out on a massive payday. Though, it also gave xQc a chance to take some shots at them for not bailing when the time came. Kicking off his February 4 stream, the Canadian was chatting with his viewers when one asked for his thoughts on the drop off of GameStop stock. “I don’t want to be an advice andy or in hindsight, even though I know nothing about stocks, I told you exactly what would happen and it happened,” xQc said. “I think it was very foreseeable. People kept saying yeah but it’s going to the moon, yep yeah but it’s squeezing, yeah but Friday, yeah but Monday, yeah but this and that, and they kept having an excuse. Like dude, come on man.” The Twitch star pulled up the price of the stock too, to show the huge drop-off and further hammer home his point. “Dude, this is no joke man. At the beginning of the stream on the 27th, when it was at $280, I said if I were you, and it’s not advice, I would not hold overnight,” he added. Pointing to its price, which was then just over $53, xQc admitted it could go up a little, but still used as a way to mock holders. Read More: Why is Corpse Husband so successful? – “This could go up a little bit, and here’s why,” he said, before punching the back of his head and taking on a silly, Caveman-like voice. “Buy the dip! Buy the dip! And then, they’re going to buy the dip a little bit and it’s going to crash even more dude. Yep, it is what it is.” xQc added that he understood that the price had tanked because of what had happened with the stock being unable to be bought on certain platforms – he even tweeted about it when the controversy happened. Though, he continued to say it is what it is, and that investors should have made out like bandits when the time was right.

xQc Roasts Professional Fortnite Players Following PAX West’s Summer Skirmish Event – Dexerto
xQc Roasts Professional Fortnite Players Following PAX West’s Summer Skirmish Event Twitter / @xQcFormer professional Overwatch player, Felix “xQc” Lengyel wasn’t impressed by competitive Fortnite after watching the $1.5 million tournament at PAX West, criticizing the gameplay. xQc previously played in the Overwatch League, with Team Envy owned Dallas Fuel, before controversies led to his release. But, it doesn’t look like he will be attempting to go pro in Fortnite any time soon. After the ‘Summer Skirmish’ event, which saw unknown player ‘Morgausse’ win $250,000 for 1st place, xQc give a harsh review of the pro players competing. Comparing Fortnite to other competitive titles, xQc blasted the way that players would move around the map passively, hiding near the edge of the storm circle. “Last time I checked, these competitive games, esports with high skill cap, people used to move, shoot, duck, use abilities properly, switch weapons properly, do hard switches, target switches, strategic moves. I watched these piece of shit Fortnite tournaments, and all I see is a bunch of fucking pussies, hidden two meters from the zone, in their small built wooden fort, peeking through the cracks in the window. So fucking boring. It’s like they’re playing hide and seek, in built forts made out of wood planks and bricks and metal. So boring.” While xQc isn’t the only one who has been critical of Fortnite gameplay at the highest level, the viewing numbers for the tournament tell a different story. More: Console Fortnite Pro Ayden Shows Off “Absolutely Insane” Building Skills During Summer Skirmish Finals – Over 600,000 concurrent viewers were tuning in during the Summer Skirmish’ final matches, so despite the very passive gameplay on show a times, clearly many don’t find it ‘boring’ like xQc does. Epic Games, developers of Fortnite, could still stand to make the incentives for aggressive gameplay more significant through, by rewarding more for eliminations, to prevent the overly passive playstyle sometimes on show.

xQc roasts Ninja’s appearance on Family Feud: “What a waste of time!” – Dexerto
xQc roasts Ninja’s appearance on Family Feud: “What a waste of time!” Overwatch sensation Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has a more controversial outlook to Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins’ recent appearance on Celebrity Family Feud, as the Fortnite superstar won $25,000 for charity. Following Ninja’s original appearance on the popular television program ‘Family Feud’ back in 2015, the 28-year-old Red Bull athlete appeared on a celebrity version of the show with fellow Adidas athlete and American Footballer, JuJu Smith-Schuster. The pair competed alongside their families to earn money for charity, with Team Blevins earning a sizeable amount for their charity Stack Up, an organization dedicated to supporting both active-duty and veteran military through the use of video games. However, in a stream on August 30, Lengyel joked about Ninja’s charitable efforts: “$25,000?! That’s like a whole 9 minutes of streaming on Mixer, dude… Seriously.” Albeit a crude explanation, Ninja’s record-breaking move over to Mixer would likely provide money of a similar stature to that explained by xQc, as Blevins has previously reported monthly earnings of over $500,000 from streaming alone. After a short pause, Lengyel proceeded to add that Ninja’s appearance on the show was a “waste of his time”, and that it was not an “efficient revenue-making” strategy, regardless of the fact that this appearance was for charity. Nonetheless, the Blevins brothers combined in a ‘Fast Money’ section to earn $25,000 in a matter of minutes while getting some laughs from presenter Steve Harvey, and the audience. Videos of various challenges from the show (that aired on August 25), are available on the Family Feud YouTube channel, with the Fast Money challenge almost surpassing 1 million views.

xQc roasts Drake’s $1 million outfit and luxury watch – Dexerto
xQc roasts Drake’s $1 million outfit and luxury watch L: xQc/Twitch R: TheUnknownVlogsTwitch streamer xQc is never one to flash his wealth – despite being one of the biggest names on the platform – and wasn’t impressed by Drake‘s flexing either, suggesting his $750,000 watch looked like a toy. xQc’s fellow Canadian Drake was breaking down the value of his outfit in a now-viral video, which all-in totaled just under $1 million, the bulk of which because of his Richard Mille timepiece. The luxury Swiss brand has some incredible watches at eye-watering prices, fit only for the likes of platinum recording artists, such as the ‘God’s Plan’ rapper. But Drake’s flashy outfit was nothing more than sheer decadence in the eyes of xQc, who, clearly not a watch person, described the $750,000 watch from Richard Mille as something he would expect to find in a cereal box. Equally, the former Overwatch pro wasn’t impressed by Drake’s $200,000 diamond chain, exclaiming “he looks like a princess with that dude.” After seeing the total cost of Drake’s outfit at a whopping $979,000, xQc couldn’t contain his laughter, in disbelief at the pricey jewelry. Although he regularly attracts tens of thousands of viewers, xQc doesn’t spend lavishly and shocked his fans when revealing his messy streaming setup. Being a popular streamer on Twitch can certainly be a lucrative endeavor, but xQc fans clearly don’t have to worry about their favorite broadcaster flexing on them in the near future.

xQc ‘roasts’ climate activist Greta Thunberg’s UN speech – Dexerto
xQc ‘roasts’ climate activist Greta Thunberg’s UN speech Twitch: xQcOW / United NationsTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has weighed in on Greta Thunberg’s speech at the United Nations Climate Summit, calling the young activist a “puppet to deliver regurgitated stats.” The UN Climate Summit has been all over the news this week. Massive school strikes on September 20 saw millions of students around the world walk out of class to call out political inaction on climate change before diplomats met in New York. The leader of the movement, Greta Thunberg, took to the stage on September 23 to speak on behalf of all young people worldwide about the crisis. However, xQc had something to say about the speech, and how people reacted to it. xQc had a dig at Greta Thunberg’s speech at the UN, but it wasn’t for what she said. On a September 24 broadcast, the outspoken Twitch star roasted her speech – but it wasn’t for what the speech contained. He was more concerned with how it’s taken a 16 year old Swedish girl delivering a heartfelt speech for people to wake up to the crisis. “It doesn’t take a crazy mature adult to understand that she isn’t spitting any new facts or crazy research breakthroughs – there’s no invention dude.” He nodded along as she read out the statistics, but questioned why people were listening to her and not the scientists who came up with it. Read more: xQc rages at “degenerate” donator – “When the scientists say sh*t, when they present their data, people sleep,” he said. “But when they put a small girl, like a puppet, to deliver regurgitated stats – ‘oh my god, true! I’m illuminated! 50%, so smart, young leader of our nation.’ Chill the f*** out dude.” His Twitch chat questioned his statements about the emotional speech, thinking that he was roasting Thunberg herself. However, he mentioned that nothing she said was wrong – just that it’s disappointing it got to this point. “I’m just interested about this, I’m not hating on it for no reason. She’s not wrong, but it’s just regurgitating dude. I’m not even laughing, it’s sad.” xQc is known to share his mind often about anything from streamer drama to real life issues. He has recently commented on Twitch’s content banning spree, as well as poor parenting after receiving an email regarding refunded donations. His blunt personality means he can sound a bit heated and harsher than most, but at the heart of this issue, he sided with Thunberg. He might have roasted her speech, and how people reacted, but he delivered a positive message about his stance on the pressing issue.

xQc risks another Twitch ban streaming Donda without Kanye West’s permission – Dexerto
xQc risks another Twitch ban streaming Donda without Kanye West’s permission Amid the current DMCA crisis on Twitch, one of the biggest streamers on the platform, xQc, asked Kanye West for permission to play his new album Donda on stream. To no one’s surprise, xQc received no response from Kanye, but he streamed it anyways. In the last year, DMCA has wreaked havoc across Twitch. Streamers have transitioned from listening to whatever music they pleased, to listening to the same non-copyrighted LoFi beats. We’ve seen several DMCA-related bans in the past, with the likes of NICKMERCS removing all old clips and VODs to avoid any strikes or bans. xQc, who’s usually known for not following the rules has gone out of his way to ask Kanye West for permission to watch the Donda event live on stream. On August 5, xQc tweeted at the rapper asking for permission. YO @kanyewest I LOVE THE MUSIC AND I WANT TO SHARE YOUR ART WITH MY COMMUNITY ON TWITCH. CAN I WATCH/REACT TO DONDA EVENT LIVE ON STREAM? pic.twitter.com/ucMgg6hYZw — xQc (@xQc) August 6, 2021 “I love the music and I want to share your art with my community on Twitch. Can I watch/react to the Donda event live on stream?” asked the Twitch star. Unfortunately, Kanye didn’t respond to the request, but xQc decided to stream the event anyways and later delete the VOD, potentially risking another ban on his channel. xQc isn’t the first streamer to ask an artist for permission to stream their music. In June 2020, another top streamer on the platform, Trainwrecks, tweeted his favorite rapper 21 Savage, asking for permission to listen to his music on stream. The rapper responded to the tweet saying “Fasho champ,” and Trainwrecks has since listened to his music every stream. Previously xQc hasn’t gone out of his way to ask for permission. In July, he was hit with a DMCA ban for rebroadcasting the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. A few days after the ban, the streamer and his lawyer announced that he would be submitting a counter-claim against the Olympic Committee. xQc believed the content he was streaming was “transformative content and fair use.” The counterclaim could cost xQc millions of dollars to fight in court.

xQc roasts “boomer” Dr Disrespect after he mocked his content Twitch: xQcOW / YouTube: DrDisRespectStreamer xQc has responded to Dr Disrespect’s brilliant roast about him playing Bloons on stream, calling Doc a “boomer” and getting up to imitate his dance moves to his audience. xQc and Dr Disrespect are two of the biggest personalities in streaming, with neither star afraid to speak their mind, or take playful jabs at their fellow streamers for the entertainment of their viewers. The combination of the two streamers is one that people love, and even though Dr Disrespect no longer streams on Twitch after being banned, the two stars find ways to troll each other cross platform. Doc called out Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel in a Twitter video that showed him right by a screen of Felix playing Bloons, a brightly colored 3D tower defense game. https://twitter.com/drdisrespect/status/1340173464162848768 After a slow turn to the camera, the streamer said “xQc, you got 60,000 people watching you play Bloons Tenacious Destruction 6. Whatever the f**k it’s called. Are you f***ing kidding me?” His video on Twitter managed to rack up thousands of likes and retweets. Viewers found it hilarious, and didn’t hesitate to share the video with xQc. When he opened it on stream he clearly looked amused by the call out, but was straight back with a roast of his own. Read More: Twitch bans accusations of “sexual favors” – “Guys, this boomer dude needs to reconsider the entertainment mother f***er! He needs to reconsider entertainment,” he said. “This is Doc’s old entertainment standards,” he continued, before getting up to imitate some of Doc’s dance moves, and he certainly put his all into it. This isn’t the first time Felix has called Dr Disrespect a ‘boomer.’ Back in November 2019 Doc made a joke complaining about xQc streaming Pokemon to 30k viewers, to which he simply replied “ok boomer,” gaining him 27,000 likes. Chat was loving xQc’s perfect roast, the interaction between the two hugely popular streamers having fans eager for the pair to interact more. The clip managed to rack up 142,000 views on Twitch, and people will no doubt be keen to see whether Dr Disrespect has another comeback of his own.

xQc rips Ninja while watching the Game Awards ESPNWhile watching The 2018 Game Awards, streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel mocked the show for not giving him an award, and once again claimed he was going to dye his hair blue to get one. Earlier in the year, after hearing that Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins won ‘Streamer of the Year’ at the 2018 Esports Awards, xQc claimed he was going to dye his hair blue and switch to playing Fortnite in order to win next year. Ninja seems to have become a recurring meme for xQc’s channel, with the streamer even offering an emote of his face with blue hair to subscribers, which was flooding the chat as Felix made the comments during the Game Awards on December 6. After it was announced that Ninja had won Content Creator/Streamer of the Year, xQc mockingly lamented his lack of consideration. “Where’s my fucking prize dude? Where’s MY prize? Can I win something dude? All this hard work, dedication and timeless, countless hours of grinding for these games,” he said as he fake-cried.

The annual Streamy Awards show took place on December 4, 2022, with streamers like Kai Cenat bringing home his first-ever award. Popular Twitch streamer xQc ordered Shake Shack for delivery from Uber Eats during the show, and quickly got called out by Hasan on stream the following day. Now, the streaming star has revealed exactly why he had food delivered to the event in response to Hasan mentioning it on his stream. xQc reveals why he ordered Uber Eats during Streamy Awards During his December 6 stream, xQc reacted to Hasan’s mention of him ordering a bunch of burgers from Shake Shack through Uber Eats. “I ordered eight burgers, and everyone that asked for one got one,” xQc explained. “I didn’t wanna go around handing out burgers and being disrespectful. “Bro, the event had ‘snackies’ for three hours on the red carpet and they had alcohol. We sat down at the table and I was ready for the main course. We were given plates that had these mini pie-shaped deserts. I was like ‘yo? like what the f*ck dude.’ I was starving.” Nobody wants to go to an event for hours when there’s not a major option for food, and it’s clear that xQc was hungry enough to take matters into his own hands. Perhaps next time he’ll order more than just eight burgers to share with other people.

xQc reveals why outraged fan demanded money for “damages” – Dexerto
xQc reveals why outraged fan demanded money for “damages” Twitch: xQc / PixabayPopular Twitch star Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel revealed why one fan contacted him recently and actually billed the Overwatch pro for “damages”. xQc’s quick speech, explosive rants, and insane Overwatch skills has resonated with millions as the Twitch star is currently the number third on the most actively subbed channel list for the streaming platform. However, one fan didn’t seem to care much for the Canadian’s loud screaming, as the pro explained that they demanded he pay for “damages” as a result of yelling too much. xQc’s fan billed him for damages While playing Overwatch on September 25, xQc turned to his audience to tell them a story of a recent exchange he had with an angry fan. “I don’t know if I told you this before. But there’s this guy a couple weeks ago, sent me an email that was serious,” he started. Read More: Twitch streamer gets rejected on the street – “He said that I screamed so loud, that it broke his headphones, right. And he sent me the receipt and he billed me!

You kidding me!?” While most of his chat seemed to find the story absurd as the streamer emphasized how serious the fan was being, one person complained that the Canadian had told the story already recently in a previous broadcast, which led to xQc lecturing him. “When people hear the same story, they don’t get mad. They’re kind of bored of it. But then the new people didn’t [hear it]. I know I don’t lose the old people but the new people will find it funny! I don’t give no fuck brother. I’ll tell my story 80 times! 80!” This isn’t the first time the Canadian streamer has gotten a little heated because of chat. Recently during his September 23 broadcast, the 23-year-old raged out after a donation called him French, which also led to the Twitch star lecturing his audience. While many may know xQc for his wildly popular streams on Twitch, he actually got his start as a pro Overwatch player, and is considered one of the best tanks in the game. After taking a year break to focus on his streaming, the popular personality made his return to the pro scene on July 29 when making Team Canada’s roster for the Overwatch World Cup in 2019.

xQc reveals why he ditched Ludwig’s Chessboxing event despite having major part to play – Dexerto
xQc reveals why he ditched Ludwig’s Chessboxing event despite having major part to play Twitch: xQc / YT: LudwigFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has revealed that he was supposed to show at Ludwig’s Chessboxing Championship, to partake in the evening-ending slapboxing match versus the event’s creator. Ludwig’s inaugural Chessboxing Championship was a monumental success for the YouTuber, adding to his growing list of achievements. While the main events were the Chessboxing matches themselves, Ludwig rounded off the night with a hilarious and painful ‘slapboxing’ match against Connor ‘CDawgVA’ Colquhoun. The YouTube star lost the match, but Twitch streamer WillNeff revealed that it could – and should – have played out very differently. WillNeff claims xQc missed slapboxing match versus Ludwig In a December 12 livestream, Neff explained that CDawgVA was actually a substitute for Ludwig’s original slapboxing opponent – xQc. “What you don’t know,” he said. “Is that Connor was not supposed to be the opponent. xQc was supposed to be the opponent. And so xQc didn’t show up. I sat in xQc’s seat because I wanted to be closer to the Botez fight.” Addressing the rumors on his own stream, xQc confirmed he was supposed to be in attendance. “The thing is that it was supposed to be me,” he said. “I’m not kidding it was actually supposed to be me and yesterday some sh*t blew in my face and I went to sleep at 8 am. I had to wake up at 10 am for the rehearsals and I didn’t wake up. I did not wake up. I wasn’t even home… I felt so bad when I woke up. When I woke up it was the time I had to be on stage. So I went back to sleep.” Given how well the event performed in spite of xQc’s absence – breaking YouTube and Twitch records alike – we can only imagine how many viewers it would have attracted had it been Lengyel versus Aghren in the event’s climactic match.

Still, it’s something fans haven’t let the Canadian live down, with jokes about him not having a license popping up on stream. Now, the former Overwatch pro has explained he doesn’t even want to be able to drive, despite all the jokes at his expense. No driver’s license? No problem for Felix During a CS:GO match, xQc told fans he wasn’t concerned about getting a license, even if people used it to rip on him. “You guys always roast me for not having a license, I don’t want one, I genuinely don’t want one,” Felix told chat. “I’m irresponsible, OK? I can’t even cook sh*t without making a fire.” “So why would I want to endanger myself and others by being in a car on the street?” the streamer continued. “It is so dumb.” After explaining his lack of a driver’s license, xQc went back to yelling at his CSGO teammates who had dared to interrupt him. Felix could get his license one day but for now, he seems content to not be driving around – which might honestly be a good idea if what he says is anything to go by. Despite not being able to drive, legally, xQc tuned into the Tesla Cybertruck reveal at the request of chat, and buckled in for the ride. “What the fu*k,” he said, before bursting out into laughter when the vehicle was revealed. “What the fu*k is that? It looks futuristic, at least.” The new Tesla truck won’t release until 2022, which is plenty of time for Felix to get his license, if he decides to change his mind.

xQc reveals whopping $500k bet on France to win the World Cup – Dexerto
xQc reveals whopping $500k bet on France to win the World Cup Twitch: xQcTwitch star xQc has revealed his hefty $500k bet for France to win the World Cup Final over Argentina. The 2022 Qatar World Cup has been nothing short of eventful, being absolutely packed with upsets and leaving us all on the edge of our seats. We’ve seen some fans take their passion for their country a bit far, with one Argentinian Twitch streamer accidentally shattering a glass door after running into it while celebrating too hard. Now, the World Cup final is here, where after over a month of competition it all comes down to France and Argentina. Both sides look to claim a third trophy for their nation, but for xQc, a whole lot more is on the line. xQc reveals $500k World Cup bet The popular Twitch streamer revealed in a December 18 tweet, just hours before the final that he’s put down an outrageous bet for France to win the World Cup. Putting down an insane $500k, the Twitch star can expect to see a return of $1.4 million if France ends up lifting the trophy. “I’VE BEEN SAYING FRANCE IS GONNA WIN IT ALL SINCE THE FIRST GAME,” xQc wrote on Twitter. “PUTTING MONEY WHERE MY MOUTH IS. EASIEST WIN OF MY LIFE.” Fans of the popular streamer weren’t shy to share their thoughts, and with Argentina being the overall favorite to take it home, many have claimed it’s $500k going down the drain. Though, we’ll just have to wait and see what comes of the game.

xQc reveals unexpected health scare from reusing towel too long – Dexerto
xQc reveals unexpected health scare from reusing towel too long xQcPopular streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has opened up about a health scare that stemmed from a common bathroom habit — reusing towels for too long. It’s no secret that streamers aren’t best known for their hygiene. Twitch CEO Dan Clancy and streamer ExtraEmily recently split the internet after revealing their questionable showering routines. A Roblox streamer, powEnvy, also stunned viewers by sharing images of their incredibly filthy bedroom. xQc’s hygiene habits have also been a talking point. Piles of trash have been commonly spotted on streams over the years, and not long ago, he was left completely embarrassed as his maids cleaned up his “disgusting” room live on stream. And now, in a recent stream, xQc shared yet another hygiene experience with his viewers, offering insight into what can happen when you don’t change your towel often. “Chat, chat… I’ll give you the advice chat. If you use it more than two weeks, you’re going to f*** yourself,” he warned. “One time, I used it for a month and it molds, and I had double ear infections because it’s really bad. Mold builds in and then you wash your head with it and puts it into your ears and it f***s your ears up,” xQc explained. His advice to fans? “Don’t do it. One week max!” xQc’s suggestion aligns with recommendations from health experts. The Cleaning Institute suggests washing bath towels after three to five uses, while the Cleveland Clinic recommends a weekly wash. Hand towels, which are exposed to more bacteria, should be changed every one to two days. But many of his fans were left stunned by the revelation for various reasons. While some were quick to comment, “Bro, you have to hang your towel after using it, not throw it on the floor.” Others, maybe having a lightbulb moment, asked, “Wait, are you supposed to get a new towel every month?” So, next time you reach for that bath towel, remember xQc’s advice and consider if it’s time for a fresh one.

xQc reveals what he’d change about Five Nights at Freddy’s movie – Dexerto
xQc reveals what he’d change about Five Nights at Freddy’s movie Blumhouse / Twitch: xQcWith the highly-anticipated Five Nights at Freddy’s trailer now released, Twitch star xQc has revealed what he would change about the upcoming video game movie. Five Nights at Freddy’s is the latest video game to get the Hollywood treatment. The widely anticipated film has been in the works for months now, and fans finally got a peek at the horror flick after an official trailer released on the evening of May 16. The 45-second teaser shows off a ton of Easter Eggs from the FNAF series of games — not to mention a leaked trailer that made its way online earlier this month that showed off the frightening Springtrap. However, the official trailer has been met with some division among fans of the games. While many are extremely excited about the forthcoming film, others aren’t so sure this is going to be an Oscar-worthy adaptation. xQc wants animatronics in FNAF movie to be more “scuffed” As a result, just about everyone is sharing their opinions about the movie on social media — and popular Twitch streamer xQc is one of them. The Juicer shared his take on the movie during a livestream, admitting to his viewers that he thinks the animatronics look a little bit too clean and not scary enough. “Okay chat, here’s the bad take. Ready? I feel like the way they’ve been navigating this, like the whole Five Nights at Freddy’s, like the whole word of it — I think it’s always so polished,” he explained. “I wish they went full scuffed. With the whole franchise, I feel like it was so nice, the colors were nice. I wish they went full scuffed, right? And the scary nature was because it was almost real. Does that make sense? Because it’s scuffed.” xQc does have a point; making the animatronics in a defunct-looking Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza place look a bit more weathered and rusted would lend a far creepier aspect to them than what’s currently shown in the trailer. However, we aren’t sure what the full movie has in store, and it’s quite possible that we see a different version of the FNAF characters later on in the film. For more news and information on the upcoming FNAF movie, check out our hub here.

xQc reveals someone was secretly using his credit card without him knowing – Dexerto
xQc reveals someone was secretly using his credit card without him knowing Twitch: xQcTwitch superstar xQc just revealed on stream that someone has been secretly using his credit card without his knowledge, and he is not happy about it. Twitch’s very own self-described ‘Juicer’ has long been the reigning king of streaming on the platform, and that of course means he’s fairly well off. From losing half a million in bets to gambling away a nine-figure sum on Twitch, he’s been quite public in his recent spending habits. However, not all of his expenditure seems to be coming from his own actions. At the start of a regular daily stream, xQc usually sits down for an hour and talks to his chat. Generally updating fans on what’s going on, what he plans to do on stream, or simply just reacting to videos sent by viewers. During his February 27 broadcast, however, he focused in on a new discovery, one not particularly pleasant. xQc wanted to purchase something online, so he had to log in to his bank account. And it was then he discovered several charges on his credit card which he seemingly had no idea where they came from. He discussed this revelation on stream, explaining how he “logged into [his] bank account and [had] a bunch of charges on [his] credit card, from f***ing nowhere.” “Just a bunch of s*** from f***ing nowhere,” he continued, clearly quite upset. “Brother! Hello?!” He never did reveal how much was spent, nor where the purchases were made. But at the end of the anecdote, as his chat went wild at the story, he said, “chill yo, it’s all fine, don’t worry.” Clearly not too heartbroken about the suspicious charges, it appears things are now under control with xQc’s credit card. Exactly how someone accessed his details or who the culprit was all remain a mystery for now but we’ll be sure to update you here with any further details.

xQc reveals what triggers him most about the modern day internet – Dexerto
xQc reveals what triggers him most about the modern day internet Popular Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel will take aim at a number of things during his rage-fueled rants but there might be no stranger target than flipping out about the current state of the internet. The former Overwatch League professional has become known for his signature rage when something doesn’t go his way on stream or when something just comes into his crosshairs and he has to get his opinion off his chest. That has led to some incredible rants, raves, and highlight clips – Overwatch when some members of his chat pushed him to log in to his Plug DJ account – a music streaming service – in a bid to get the stream music changed up. That set him off. “This is something that triggers me really hard dude. If I try to log in to a trash website, like a big website that is kind of trash like Twitter, Facebook, a huge site where it’s really bad if you get hacked – there’s no captcha, no nothing,” ranted xQc, as he took aim at website security. He continued with his rage, adding that “trash” websites like NeoPets and Newgrounds have multiple layers of captcha. As ever, the streamer had to turn his anger to the next level, stating: “Find the dog in this picture, find the six buses, find the three fucking crosswalks, the nine street lights, two taxis, six airplanes – yo dog, I’m trying to log in, not do an IQ test bitch!” Anyone who has ever come across a captcha log-in will understand the point and frustration that xQc was describing, even if he was blowing it slightly out of proportion. The streamer has never been known for keeping a cool head – especially when it comes to menial things like logging into a website. Yet, who knows, maybe someone from NeoPets was watching and decides to downgrade their security from having to spot 100 crows in 30 seconds.

xQc reveals Pokimane unfollowed him and admits he didn’t “maintain” friendship – Dexerto
xQc reveals Pokimane unfollowed him and admits he didn’t “maintain” friendship Instagram: xqcow1 / Instagram: pokimanelolxQc has revealed that his recent Twitter controversy has resulted in fellow streamer Pokimane seemingly cutting ties with a swift unfollow. Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has become one of the biggest streamers on the internet, but that hasn’t kept him out of trouble with his fair share of controversies over the years. Most recently, xQc came under fire for his bizarre response to criticism on Twitter. When called out for streaming his reaction to the Israel-Palestine conflict, the streamer hit back by flexing his wealth — a retort that quickly garnered backlash. Now, xQc has revealed that his antics may have cost some friendships, admitting ‘Pokimane‘ unfollowed him and that he had failed to “maintain” the friendship. Speaking with his chat, xQc revealed Pokimane had messaged him privately following his controversial Twitter response. He said, “She sent something about it because she wasn’t too happy… and then I didn’t get a reply for two days.” Before he knew it, xQc found out his fellow content creator had unfollowed him on Instagram; “I thought she would be sensible enough to know that the tweet that was made about me was just f****** stupid.” Nonetheless, it doesn’t seem xQc blames Pokimane for her choice of action. In another stream xQc once more addressed the situation, saying “I understand that there is a social standing I need to uphold in order to maintain my friendship and I didn’t do that recently. So, I’m not [on] the follow-list. What can I say, man, I’m a f*** up.” xQc’s viewers were seemingly not too surprised by this latest update, theorizing that Pokimane “has to uphold her image.” One person wrote, “[Pokimane] works smarter, [xQc] works harder. She chose the family-friendly route, and [xQc] chose the brand-risk route.” Another person discussing xQc and Pokimane’s relationship said, “They clearly see the world completely differently and it causes conflict between them often.” Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

xQc reveals latest $300K supercar purchase after losing McLaren to ex Adept – Dexerto
xQc reveals latest $300K supercar purchase after losing McLaren to ex Adept Instagram: xqcow1xQc has revealed his latest $300,000 supercar purchase, a Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica. This comes months after losing his previous ride, a McLaren, to his ex, Adept. From his incredibly dedicated fanbase to a record-breaking streaming deal to the tune of $100 million with the rapidly rising Kick, xQc is undoubtedly one of the biggest names on the internet today. And part of being a multimillionaire is obviously the luxury goods that come along with it. Be it a six-figure watch that xQc infamously flexed, or luxury vehicles that he’s only just able to drive. Now, adding a new supercar to his garage, xQc just revealed he recently purchased a Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica, which would have set him back roughly $300,000 USD. Revealed in a Kick livestream while playing Counter-Strike 2 on September 24, xQc casually mentioned that he “already got a new car”, which prompted his chat and a friend in his voice call to ask exactly what he got. “It’s a Huracan Tecnica,” xQc briefly revealed, immediately turning his attention back to the game. Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica’s price can fluctuate depending on the specs, but it starts at around $240,000 and can range up to $400,00. xQc had already teased over a week ago that he was planning on purchasing a new car while opening up about losing his previous set of wheels to his ex, Adept, amid their court proceedings. He said in the stream, “They don’t remember where I came from with that, and they think it’s just a flex or whatever, and then a lot of people kind of make fun of me a lot for losing the car or whatever, even though it’s not lost, people poke at me a lot for like losing it.” The McLaren which Adept supposedly still possesses, was purchased by xQc but had Adept’s name put as the owner as he could not drive in the USA at the time. During his unlicensed period, he had also purchased a $100,000 BMW he couldn’t drive.

xQc reveals insane $300k McLaren 720s Spider despite not having a license – Dexerto
xQc reveals insane $300k McLaren 720s Spider despite not having a license xQc/McLarenTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has revealed a McLaren 720s Spider he claims to have purchased on stream, despite him not actually having a driver’s license. xQc has had some fun streaming the new Forza Horizon 5 since the game launched on November 5. The streamer even purchased a force-feedback steering wheel to play the game, which he ended up getting hilariously injured by while pulling a harsh turn. It seems that xQc has gotten more into cars since playing Forza, though, as he now claims he’s purchased an incredibly expensive sports car. xQc buys $300,000 McLaren During a Twitch stream on November 23, xQc pulled up pictures of a McLaren 720s Spider and claimed he bought one for himself, despite not knowing how to drive. While showing off his new ride he said, “it’s a McLaren 720s Spider. Guys, I had to pull the trigger. I haven’t bought anything for myself in the past whatever years, dude. And when I saw this I just wanted it. That’s just what I want, it is what it is.” xQc’s lack of driving skills has been well documented, which lead his viewers to believe this was an expert-level troll. His purchase of the new McLaren came just two weeks after he uploaded a video to his YouTube channel of him playing Forza Horizon 5 with the title “Man With No Drivers License Plays Forza Horizon 5.” We won’t know for sure if xQc actually did buy the McLaren until it shows up at his doorstep, and even if it does, he won’t be able to drive it legally until he obtains a full license. There is one thing to remember, though: if you see xQc out and about on the roads, we’d suggest you get out of the way.

xQc reveals how his overly-proud dad keeps embarrassing him in public – Dexerto
xQc reveals how his overly-proud dad keeps embarrassing him in public Twitch/xQcKick streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is getting fed up with his dad constantly embarrassing him in public. xQc is one of the biggest streamers with millions of followers across Twitch and Kick, along with a massive bank account having been signed to a whopping $100M deal. The streamer’s success has made his dad very proud, but according to the former Overwatch League pro, it can sometimes be too much, especially when the two are out in public together. During a recent broadcast, xQc was explaining to fans how he likes it when they ask for his autograph or a picture, but his dad takes things too far. xQc says his dad embarrasses him in front of airport employees After responding to a fan who wanted his autograph at the airport, xQc recalled how his father would go up to strangers and tell them about how he’s the dad of a famous streamer. “My dad, he goes around, and he will talk to airport employees and he’ll be like, ‘this is three letters: xQc!’” Lengyell exclaimed. “I’m like, ‘yo, can you not do that, please?’” The image of seeing xQc’s dad screaming his name in front of random people at the airport is pretty wild and it’s clear that the Kick star isn’t a big fan of his family going out of their way to embarrass him. “He’s trolling me!” Lengyel added. xQc and his dad do have a pretty good relationship, despite the airport shenanigans. Back in 2023, his dad appeared on stream and revealed his surprising choice for his favorite female streamer. Another time, in 2022, xQc’s father phoned him up during a live broadcast to check in on him after the streamer made comments about being ‘addicted’ to gambling.

xQc reveals huge sum YouTube would have to pay to make him leave Twitch – Dexerto
xQc reveals huge sum YouTube would have to pay to make him leave Twitch Twitch: xQc/ YouTubePopular streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has revealed that YouTube would have to offer a staggering $1 billion for him to leave Twitch – and he’s not exaggarating. The YouTube vs. Twitch debate has been the talk of the streaming community throughout 2021 and 2022 as the two platforms battle it out for creators. Twitch is flying ahead of YouTube as the most popular streaming website, according to current statistics. However, the list of popular streamers signing an exclusivity deal with YouTube Gaming continues to grow with Ludwig, Sykkuno, and LilyPichu being just some of the names to switch. However, one creator who YouTube might struggle to get its hands on is Twitch star xQc who has once again proven his loyalty to the Amazon-owned platform. xQc claims he would move to YouTube for “$1 Billion” xQc was reacting to Fuslie’s announcement that she was moving from Twitch to YouTube during his livestream on September 7. However, xQc believes that her and her friends Sykkuno, LilyPichu, and Valkyrae could have made much more money through their exclusivity deals, given how much they could be worth collectively as group. For xQc, in order to buy him out as well as his friends and fellow Twitch streamers Poke, Jesse, Adin, and Kai Cenat, YouTube would have to offer them $1 billion. He added that rather than the whopping sum being slowly paid throughout the years, the amount would have to be “payable in a lump sum only.” As the debate over Twitch and YouTube continues to pop up among the streaming community, many have wondered whether xQc would ever be tempted to make the change. However, it’s an unlikely choice for his fans given his love for watching TV shows and films as well as his controversial gambling streams, both of which YouTube has strict rules about in its terms of service.

xQc reveals his biggest problem with League of Legends Arcane series – Dexerto
xQc reveals his biggest problem with League of Legends Arcane series Popular Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel feels that Riot Games’ League of Legends-inspired Netflix show Arcane is missing some emotional depth. Released on November 6, Arcane has filled the void for many League of Legends fans seeking more lore. Some players have waited years for Riot to make their own cinematic series, and the Netflix hit is exactly what was desired. Arcane has been received pretty well from the entirety of the League of Legends community since release, so much so that it debuted at #1 on Netflix in over 30 countries. However, one of the most popular Twitch streamers who started his career playing LoL, xQc, has a few critiques for the show’s creators. During his stream on November 13, the streaming star got on the topic of Arcane with his chat. While it was received well by many LoL enthusiasts, xQc felt that something wasn’t quite right with the show. “I don’t want to be rude or mean to Riot for no reason. But, as someone who’s played League forever, I’ve literally played it my entire life. The series feels not uneventful, but it’s missing emotional depth,” said the streamer. xQc continued: “Some of it feels kind of hollow, and it kind of feels like it’s not like intense, everything feels like I’m not emotionally engaged in it that much.” He noted that there aren’t many “oh my god” moments given the lacking connection. Despite the streamer’s criticism, Arcane has stolen the hearts of League players with its unique storytelling and diving headfirst into the lore of Runeterra. With the series being such a success that Riot has already confirmed that more shows are on the way. Maybe those will have what xQc is looking for.

xQc reveals his first-ever merch drop in the works with sneak peek of $76 hoodie – Dexerto
xQc reveals his first-ever merch drop in the works with sneak peek of $76 hoodie Instagram: xQcxQc reveals his first-ever merch line is in the works, showing a sneak peek on his stream for a $76 hoodie that’s going on sale soon. Despite being one of the streaming world’s biggest names, xQc hasn’t had a lot of merch drops since the start of his online career. Back in 2019, he had a merch drop with metathreads, but he has grown much larger in status since then. Now, four years since his first merch line, xQc is finally dropping his very own pieces after much teasing from The Juicer. Announced on stream on December 6, he revealed that his viewers could sign up for exclusive store access on the store page when the drop date comes. The merch line, aptly titled Lengyel, which is his surname, is dropping on December 15, Friday. xQcexplained on that stream the reason why he hadn’t released much merch to this point, stating, “The reason why I don’t release stuff a lot is that I don’t want people to buy s*** that’s dogs***.” And to give his viewers a teaser of what they could expect from the merch drop, xQc showed off one of the hoodies that will be up for sale. Throughout the showcase of the hoodie, xQc told viewers he spent a long time researching and making sure the hoodie was up to par quality-wise. “I’m not sure if the camera can see the actual quality of it, I’m trying really hard to show you how good I sampled this f***ing material,” he said. “I’m really happy with the material I chose.” The design of the hoodie is also a clear nod to xQc’s name, with an owl emblazoned on the back. For context, xQc’s username was “xQcow1”, which was a nod to his beginnings as a pro-Overwatch player, and it seems to have followed into the design of the hoodie.

xQc teases moving again after IP leak ruins Twitch stream – Dexerto
xQc teases moving again after IP leak ruins Twitch stream xQcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has revealed that he could be on the move again and have to switch homes after his stream was ruined by his IP being leaked. As fans of xQc are well aware, the Canadian streaming star has been on the move quite a few times. Over the last few years, he’s split his time between Texas and his native Canada, with a few stops in LA along the way. He’s had to move due to visa issues – typically going back to Canada when it’s up for renewal – but he’s moved around the US a few times on the basis of security. xQc has said a few times that his properties have been broken into, with him needing to get the police involved time and time again. This has been done because of people doxxing him – finding his private information through one way or another – but he’s also slipped up. He’s revealed his IP a few times over the years, which allows trolls to track him down and even stop him from going live. xQc suggests he may move again after IP leak ruins stream Well, that happened again during his May 22 stream, as xQc was only live for around 10 minutes before he ran into technical trouble. He claimed, in a Twitch chat message, that he was the subject of a DDoS attack which meant he couldn’t stream. While he attempted to fix it, xQc had no luck in doing so as his May 22 stream was written off. On top of that, the streamer’s solution to the issue appeared to be a pretty nuclear one, as he suggested he might be moving. “Just kidding. I’m getting out of here. I’ll miss this place but this was home to great and horrible memories,” he tweeted. “It’s better left behind.” If he is on the move again, that means xQc’s backdrop – which included that wild blanket of Dr Disrespect, that even had him questioning things – would be about to change once again. As he noted, that house has been the backdrop to some pretty big drama on his stream over the last few months, including his break-up with Adept and having fellow streamer Nyyxxii on as a part of a brief relationship. So, who knows what his next step is.

xQc reveals he was forced to move after armed man broke into his house – Dexerto
xQc reveals he was forced to move after armed man broke into his house Twitch/xQcLegendary Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel revealed more details about why he was forced to move houses, explaining that at one point a man armed with a crowbar broke into his house looking for him. During his July 14 Twitch stream return from a new location, xQc delved into the madness that was happening behind the scenes at both his old house and Sodapoppin’s. Previously, xQc said that he had to move out after experiencing daily police swattings. The rough encounters got to a point where Lengyel legitimately began to fear for his life, resulting in him moving out. As it turns out, however, the swattings may have had the opposite effect than what people would think. “When I said the house was getting swatted a lot, it does the exact opposite of what you think it would do,” he said. “It kinda gets worse believe it or not.” According to Lengyel, he thinks that living with people puts them in danger as the madness didn’t stop when he moved into Sodapoppin’s place. In fact, it got even crazier. “The swatting was happening a lot and then some person went to my old house and broke into it with a crowbar. And apparently he was looking for me!” the French Canadian revealed. “So, at that point it was like holy f**k, that’s pretty crazy.” “Weird sh*t started happening at Soda’s house too,” he added. “I felt like it was unfair for everybody around me that I’m putting them in danger.” A bit later on in the stream, xQc dug more into the armed intruder’s motives. “He was asking for me or some sh*t. He was yelling that I owned something of his or whatever,” Felix shrugged. “I looked at all my DMs and there was nothing, so I don’t really understand it. He kinda just came out of nowhere.” The former Overwatch League pro also noted he might just end up selling his house because he just wants to stream and have fun without having to worry about all these weird things happening to him. Hopefully, wherever xQc moves permanently into next won’t have all these bizarre issues and he can get on with his streaming career in peace.

xQc reveals he’s had to move again to escape doxxing problems – Dexerto
xQc reveals he’s had to move again to escape doxxing problems Twitch: xQcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has moved home once again, this time returning to his native Canada. The 25-year-old is regularly having to change his address due to constant doxxing problems. As the world’s most popular Twitch streamer, xQc enjoys the various benefits of the role, including being able to afford his large collection of luxury supercars. However, being in the public eye has its drawbacks. One of the biggest problems that xQc has faced is being doxxed on numerous occasions forcing him to constantly move home. xQc has now moved once again back to his home country of Canada. Although, as with all his moves, it will only be for a short time. xQc moves back to Canada On May 16, xQc announced on Twitter that had arrived back in Canada after moving locations around the US to evade any doxxing problems. “Back in Canada for a little while,” xQc said. “New set up [again]. Nick and his girlfriend helped me a bunch to get started ASAP. Everything is back to normal with better schedules.” It comes after xQc’s original home has come under attack on numerous occasions after trolls found his address. For example, he previously claimed that he was being raided by armed police on a daily basis. As well as this, a man with a crowbar also invaded his home. BACK IN CANADA FOR A LITTLE WHILE. NEW SETUP AGANE. NICK AND HIS GF HELPED ME A BUNCH TO GET STARTED ASAP. EVERYTHING IS BACL TO NORMAL WITH BETTER SCHEDULES. POG. ALSO, TOMORROW TRIAL STARTS UP AGAIN SO, TUNE IN EARLY FOR SOME SPICE pic.twitter.com/sMymBTKR3Q — xQc (@xQc) May 16, 2022 It’s unclear whether a particular doxxing incident has forced xQc to relocate again. However, fans on Twitter explained that it was all part of his plan to relocate for “security reasons.” He kept getting doxed and people started showing up to his shit, breaking in and stuff. So just security reasons he keeps moving. — Hamza Hussain (@hamza_h96343) May 16, 2022 In order to escape his location being leaked and risk his home being attacked, xQc has been staying in Air BnBs for temporary periods. xQc hasn’t clarified how long he will stay in Canada before he moves on to his next location. Although, his new setup, complete with a grass-covered wall and neon lights, has already proved a hit among his viewers.

xQc reveals he lost $2 million during a single gambling stream – Dexerto
xQc reveals he lost $2 million during a single gambling stream xQc/TwitchTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel revealed he lost an insane $2 million during one single gambling stream as he continues to broadcast slots despite swearing them off less than a year ago. xQc is back to hosting gambling streams, wagering absolutely massive amounts of money in the process. Less than a year ago, the former Overwatch pro swore off gambling streams after revealing thousands of viewers were using his referral links to gamble their own money. Now, he’s done a complete 180 on the issue and has been hosting gambling streams claiming his change of heart doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a hypocrite. xQc reveals he lost $2 million in one day from gambling The 26-year-old streamer was live on May 26 when he shared just how much he lost on slots in one single session the day prior. Felix was streaming along with Greedgodx when he told the fellow streamer he lost “two” on gambling the day before. “Oh, two dollars? That’s not that bad. Get back in there buddy, spin a couple more!” Greek said. X eventually revealed it wasn’t two dollars, two hundred, or even two thousand he lost, but actually two million. The Canadian streamer’s return to gambling on Twitch sparked massive controversy, although fellow Twitch star Asmongold leaped to his defense. xQc didn’t gamble $2 million on stream on May 25, leading his viewers to believe he played tons and tons of slots after he turned the camera off. Being the most-watched broadcaster on all of Twitch, xQc has the funds to blow huge amounts on slots and not be in financial ruin. However, losing $2 million a day can’t be sustainable for any person regardless of profession.

xQc reveals he lost over $1 million gambling in first Vegas trip – Dexerto
xQc reveals he lost over $1 million gambling in first Vegas trip Instagram: xqcow1Streaming star xQc revealed that he lost over $1 million from gambling during his trip to Las Vegas after deciding to move to Sin City. Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is one of the net’s top streamers on multiple platforms. Currently, he stands as Twitch’s 5th most-followed broadcaster, and famously signed a $100 million deal with Kick in June. Since then, all eyes have been focused on the influencer as he flexes his newfound wealth in spats with the likes of H3H3 and continues to argue over the ethics of his reaction-style content. Recently, xQc divulged his plans to move to Las Vegas, Nevada, after a string of incidents that saw him move from place to place — and it looks like he’s happily spending the dough in Sin City in a pre-move vacay. xQc loses $1 million gambling in Las Vegas It’s no secret that xQc’s net worth is up there in the multi-millions, but the Juicer let his fans know exactly how much cheddar he’s working with in a jaw-dropping Instagram story the night of August 9. After attending the Power Slap event that evening, X went out on the town to try his hand at some Blackjack — and ended up losing over one million dollars. xQc posted a photo of himself holding onto stacks of $100 bills (flexing his famous watch, as well), captioned: “$1.1 million downswing, AHAHAHA.” Of course, cash like this is just chump change to xQc, but it’s certainly still wild to see just how much money some of the world’s top streamers are raking in thanks to their online fame. Streaming can be a lucrative way for influencers to rake in money. Most recently, viral ‘NPC’ TikToker PinkyDoll revealed she’s making around $7,000 a day via combined income streams from her Instagram, TikTok account, and OnlyFans presence.

xQc reveals he has a new girlfriend as drama with Adept continues – Dexerto
xQc reveals he has a new girlfriend as drama with Adept continues Twitch: xQcxQc has revealed that he has a girlfriend on stream as drama with ex-partner Adept continues to swirl. Following an explosive stream towards the end of 2022, xQc and his ex-partner Adept have continued to go back and forth regarding their past relationship and issues surrounding it. xQc claims that he had to choose between her and his family, and on May 31 Adept made claims that the two had been married for three years. During his most recent stream, xQc dropped yet another bit of information regarding his relationship status. xQc reveals he has a new girlfriend At the end of his stream, xQc was talking to his chat about what all has been happening in his life when he dropped the latest bit of information regarding his life. “It’s super annoying. It’s just… I have a new girlfriend and it’s been like a living nightmare. It’s been a f*cking nightmare. Like. Everything,” he said. With that being all that he said, fans were left to wonder who the new girlfriend is now that he’s had to move yet again — with fans thinking he’s moved to Texas. This isn’t the first girlfriend xQc has had since his public breakup with Adept back in September, either. The Juicer had a short-lived relationship with fellow streamer Nyyxxii in November. They had first made their relationship public with a smooch on stream, only to unfollow each other just weeks later. If xQc decides to reveal his new girlfriend we’ll be sure to update you, but in the meantime, you can head over to our entertainment section to check out our coverage.

xQc reveals he could quit Twitch streaming for good “tomorrow” – Dexerto
xQc reveals he could quit Twitch streaming for good “tomorrow” YouTube: 100 ThievesTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel revealed on the 100 Thieves CouRage and Nadeshot Show podcast that he could stop streaming at any time and completely out of the blue. xQc has become of the biggest internet sensations of all time, amassing over 9.4M followers on the Amazon-owned streaming platform. The former Overwatch pro’s success has even made him a multi-millionaire, as the Twitch leaks revealed he made over $8M since 2019 and that doesn’t include sponsorships or off-site revenue. However, despite his fame and fortune from streaming, xQc doesn’t think he will stream on Twitch forever and when he feels it’s time to call it quits, he’ll be done in an instant. xQc reveals when he will stop streaming on Twitch for good In an appearance on the CouRage and Nadeshot Show podcast, xQc was asked about when he might stop streaming for good and gave quite an interesting answer. “I think until I don’t enjoy it anymore. My chat kinda gets weirded out when I say this, and some people don’t believe me either, I always tell them, if I feel this isn’t it anymore, I’ll quit so fast,” he explained. “It could be tomorrow, it could be in ten years.” (segment starts at 45:00) According to xQc, if he doesn’t have the desire to go live and stream, then he knows it’s time to stop. Plus, Felix doesn’t believe this change will come over time, but rather, it would be completely spontaneous. “If I don’t have the passion, how can I translate that passion to people? I don’t want to make them watch something that I don’t feel like doing,” xQc said in support of his audience. “It’s almost like I’m scamming people.” What will xQc do after retiring from Twitch? As for what the future holds project-wise, Lengyel said that he wants to bring something new to streaming such as acting or game shows. “If I have time off, it will be so I can make a better product,” he added. We do know that xQc has a studio-based show in the works, but not much is known about it so far. In any case, if Lengyel’s comments hold true, it’s possible we could wake up one day and he will announce he’s no longer a full-time streamer. We’ll have to see what the future holds for the French Canadian, but it’s clear he has some big things in the works in and outside of streaming.

xQc reveals he had to move out after “daily” police swattings: “I was scared I was going to die” – Dexerto
xQc reveals he had to move out after “daily” police swattings: “I was scared I was going to die” Twitch: xQcOWTwitch star Felix xQc Lengyel revealed to viewers that his house in Texas had been swatted almost every day over the last few months. The popular streamer explained that he almost moved back to Canada due to fearing for his life. During his June broadcast, xQc hit back at accusations that he was moving back to Canada for gambling after his DMs with Trainwrecks were accidentally leaked online a few days earlier. The former Overwatch pro opened up to viewers and explained the real reason he wanted to go back home was due to being “genuinely scared” after being swatted by police almost daily. xQc explains how swatting made him move out In early June, xQc and Adept surprised viewers when they moved in with fellow streamer Sodapoppin. At the time, the couple explained that the move was only temporary due to “house renovations.” However, on June 28th Lengyel revealed that the real reason was due to him being the target of a dangerous harassment campaign. “The main reason why I wanted to move back to Canada a month ago, we were getting raided by the police station at rates that absolutely made no f**king sense. Almost every day the police came to our house with the full squad. Because of f**king idiots. And I was genuinely scared that I was GOING to die,” the 25-year-old explained emotionally. He then alluded to facing other situations that were even worse than the swatting. “It didn’t make sense to me, and I just got so scared I just wanted to go home. I just wanted to go back to Canada. And then some other stuff happened that was worse, WAY WORSE, and I was just like I want to get the f**k out of here,” he said. While xQc didn’t elaborate further on what the “way worse” things were, he clarified that he was able to come up with a system that let him broadcast live without viewers knowing that police were raiding his home. “The police here are very professional. After the first raid, they would give us a heads up, and they would clear the house. And I found a way to remain on stream and not say anything at all. And nobody ever noticed and the streams kept on going,” he said. The 25-year old added that when he would look off-stream and mention food, it was often a signal to the police that everything was okay: “Any time I looked to my left and I was like “the food, yeah,” sometimes there were full f**king police squads in my house.” The signs that the former Overwatch pro had been going through a serious situation in real life have been hinted at during past streams. In previous chat logs, he had written, “Dealing with IRL s**t again, it’s piling up, I need more time sorry chat. Stop thinking that everything is easygoing man. Offstream has been a f**king NIGHTMARE. its a miracle I go live at all.” Lengyel added that he didn’t want to be seen as a “victim” and that he initially didn’t speak up about the situation due to not wanting to validate those swatting him. However, the star felt that growing accusations that he was only moving back to Canada for gambling reasons “put his back against the wall.” At the time of writing, it’s unclear whether xQc still has plans to move back to Canada. However, the popular Twitch streamer has stated that he moved in with friends in Texas due to genuinely being “scared” for his life.

xQc wants to recreate hit TV show Survivor with Twitch stars after Shitcamp success – Dexerto
xQc wants to recreate hit TV show Survivor with Twitch stars after Shitcamp success Wikimedia Commons / Twitch: xQcFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has opened up about a crazy idea he’s got in mind for Shitcamp 2022: A streamer version of Survivor that pits your favorite streamers against each other as they attempt to survive on an island. xQc was the star of the show in Shitcamp 2021. He did everything from showing off his sniper skills to dressing in drag, and made peace with Myth. He had such a good time with the crew, he’s even thinking about moving back to L.A. He also teased future collaborations with other content creators in the upcoming months, claiming it’s going to “f**king pop off.” If that wasn’t exciting enough, he also revealed a crazy idea he has in mind for Shitcamp 2022 — a survivor island filled with streamers. “I have a good idea, but if I say it, it’s going to get yoinked,” he said. That didn’t stop him from saying it anyway: “It’s like Survivor’s Island, streamer edition. It will have games like a survivor show while they have challenges.” He didn’t want to reveal too much. However, he mentioned some examples, including carrying cups of water without spilling them, solving puzzles, long-distance running, building a house before nightfall with “primitive technology,” and more. Shitcamp is all about bringing streamers together to take part in challenges and games. However, xQc’s survival island idea will take it to the next level. This iteration of the event only just finished. However, there’s a third event named ShitSummit planned for for sometime over the winter, so it could be debuted then.

xQc reveals Adept wanted $10 million to settle court battle – Dexerto
xQc reveals Adept wanted $10 million to settle court battle xQcFelix “xQc” Lengyel has revealed the eye-popping amount of money Samantha “Adept” Lopez demanded to settle their long-fought court battle. Throughout 2023, xQc and Adept’s public split and court case was a long and messy affair for both. It all finally came to a head in late August when the case was closed without conviction. It was only months after the settlement when xQc opened up publicly on the matter, telling his fans how he felt about the entire ordeal, calling the entire saga an “absolute disaster”. Now months after opening up about the court battle, xQc revealed the jaw-dropping amount of money Adept’s team asked for during the proceedings. During a stream, xQc revealed the amount to his viewers, after reacting to Destiny’s ex-wife’s demand of $100,000 after their separation. “Yeah, they asked me for $10 million, flat out,” xQc told his chat. “They were like, ‘$10 million, and we’re gonna stop this.’” However, it was clear xQc was not happy about the large demands from Adept’s team, telling his chat his response to the amount, “and I was like, ‘I’m good on that’.” “I told my lawyer that I wouldn’t do it for a $1. If I had to pay $1, I still wouldn’t accept it. That was the official response, and they knew that.” By the end of the court proceedings, no money was ever exchanged between the pair to settle the case, with the criminal investigation into the sexual assault and violent claims being closed without conviction. However, despite the lawsuit finally coming to an end, he did reveal that the issue of his cars remains “complicated”, which includes the infamous McLaren which Adpet seems to have taken ownership of.

xQc reveals a master plan that could “save” FaZe Clan – Dexerto
xQc reveals a master plan that could “save” FaZe Clan xQcTwitch star xQc has revealed what he’d do to “save” FaZe Clan as the organization continues to face backlash from its OG members. Following the signing of Stranger Things star Grace Van Dien, FaZe Clan, one of the world’s biggest and longest-tenured gaming organizations, is undergoing turmoil within its own walls. While the feud is mainly between co-owner FaZe Rain and Grace Van Dien, the organization has faced backlash from fans and other members, who continue to bash the publicly traded company’s corporate structure — which loses hundreds of thousands monthly according to Rain. As many voice their own opinions on the situation, Twitch streamer xQc has weighed in once more, explaining what he’d do to save the organization if he was at the reigns. xQc’s unveils plan to save FaZe Clan During a June 3 live stream with Ludwig and TheStockGuy, xQc was asked what he’d do to save FaZe if he was in charge — to which he answered by claiming he’d fire all the organization’s current employees. “Okay, it’s a simple concept. Tighten up the ship, fire all employees that do content, production, everybody out of the job,” he said. The streamer further explained that he’d also release most of FaZe’s esports rosters, and instead use the money to sign a “core” of top content creators to run the brand. “Most esports teams under contract, all canceled, all fired. Do like legacy cost, whatever they have left on their contract write it out. “Get a really strong core of top, tight content creators. YouTubers, streamers, go together and merchandise, brand, produce at the core and work your way down from genuine content and results and you work your way down and you stop doing esports sh*t because that sh*t is garbage.” Ludwig followed up by asking the Juicer if he’d still work with FaZe’s OG members. “Would you work with the OGs?” Ludwig asked, to which xQc replied, “No… f**k them.” In late May, xQc spoke out on the entire FaZe situation, heavily criticizing the organization.

xQc responds to Rubius fight call out and denies dodging previous boxing offer – Dexerto
xQc responds to Rubius fight call out and denies dodging previous boxing offer xQc/RubiusStreaming star xQc has responded to Rubius calling him out for a fight once again, claiming he didn’t get any messages from the Spaniard after his last call-out. As influencer boxing has taken a pretty professional turn thanks to the likes of Jake Paul and KSI, Ibai and a host of Spanish streamers have tried to keep things to their roots. Their La Velada del Año event – The Night of the Year – has grown massively over the last few years, with the most recent event, the third one, being held in Atletico Madrid’s 68,000-capacity stadium. They even broke the Twitch viewership record with around 3.4 million viewers too. During that event, Rubius, once again, called out xQc for a fight. The popular Spanish streamer, who called the streaming star last year too, claimed he’d messaged xQc on Discord about making the fight happen. Though, xQc claimed he didn’t get anything. xQc responds to Rubius fight call-out at La Velada del Año 3 The former Overwatch League star responded to Rubius’ call-out on July 2, saying he was up for making the fight happen, but he wasn’t too sure about the Discord messages. “What Discord? I don’t think I ever had him on Discord,” xQc said after seeing Rubius’ call-out. “I’ve never spoke to him on Discord. Guys, there isn’t anything.” The streamer checked through his messages and seemed to come up empty again. “I don’t want either of us to get too injured. I will accept a fight that is a little bit out of the norm, especially so we don’t get too much physical damage. But, I will fight him though!” xQc added, before saying he’d change it to a ‘normal’ fight. Plenty of fans are doubtful that xQc and Rubius will go through with the fight, especially after they agreed to make it happen last year as well. That call-out even came with the caveat of no training, so all they had to commit to was being in Madrid for the event. xQc did add that he has plenty of time to train these days, so maybe if he starts doing gym streams again, the tide might turn. We’ll just have to wait and see.

xQc responds to viewer who says donating to streamers is a waste of money – Dexerto
xQc responds to viewer who says donating to streamers is a waste of money Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is known for his colorful responses and interactions with fans on his Twitch chat, but one viewer who said donating to streamers was pointless probably got more of a response then they planned on. xQc begins to respond by asking the rhetorical question, “You get to do whatever you want with your money, right?” Then, in typical xQc fashion, he goes straight for the jugular with a response the viewer probably didn’t see coming. “What If I spend 6$ to have a night with your sister? What If I did that?” The streamer asked. “At the end of the night I wouldn’t really get anything. I have, maybe AIDS or something like that? Whatever dude.” The streamer continues on to his main point: which is people can spend money on anything and anyway they like – including donating it to Twitch streamers. “I don’t gain anything,” xQc explained, going back to his example. “But I still spent that money, that’s 6$ I’ll never get back. Everything in life is a waste of money, it’s how you want to waste it.” xQc recently finished playing with Team Canada in the Overwatch World Cup U.S. group stage in Los Angeles, where the Canadians qualified for the finals at Blizzcon later this year. It was his first time back in competitive Overwatch since being suspended by the Overwatch League and dropped by the Dallas Fuel earlier this year.

xQc responds to Linus Tech Tips roasting his “train wreck” PC build – Dexerto
xQc responds to Linus Tech Tips roasting his “train wreck” PC build Linus Tech Tips/xQc/YouTubeTwitch star xQc didn’t seem amused with Linus’s breakdown of his recent PC-building stream, which the tech guru called a “train wreck.” Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel might be one of the biggest Twitch streamers out there, but according to Linus Tech Tips, his PC-building skill leaves a lot to be desired. As one of the top-earning individuals on Twitch, xQc definitely has plenty of cash to blow on the best PC parts money can buy, and assembling them into a powerhouse gaming rig also makes for great content. It’s not just entertainment for Felix’s fans either apparently, as well-known tech YouTuber Linus Tech Tips took the time to critique xQc’s PC-building skills in a new video, labeling the process as a “train wreck,” to put things lightly. “xQc reached out to me a number of weeks back asking for help with a new gaming PC. I pointed out that anyone and their dog would be happy to send him a free gaming PC in exchange for a tweet, but I did offer my help if he really needed it,” Linus explained. “Then I promptly never heard anything about it again until I was streaming today and you guys wouldn’t stop talking about how apparently horrible his build was.” Sure enough, Felix’s actions within the first few seconds of the build were enough to make the tech guru cringe. “This must be how people feel watching me handle stuff,” he quipped while watching xQc conduct his build on the carpet, overpay for parts, handle things carelessly, and just seeming to have little idea what he was doing. “What are juicers? He’s now used the word juicers twice.” Linus asked incredulously after xQc used one of his trademark terms to describe his sticks of RAM. “128 gigs of RAM in a gaming PC, and he’s calling them juicers. I’m really not sure I’m following so far.” After suffering through roughly 15 minutes of xQc struggling to get everything put together, the YouTuber made it clear his offer to Felix still stands. “Felix if you’re watching this, my offer still stands. I’d be happy to walk you through this, we can make that case work.” Wouldn’t you know it, xQc was watching, and posted his own reaction video to this one. Despite having his PC-building skills absolutely torn apart by one of YouTube’s biggest computer experts, xQc seemed to be having a ton of fun watching and responding to the critique as it happened, and cackling at the fact he got Linus to say “juicers” on camera. “Guys, the reason I sort of know in-depths and whatnot, is one of my brothers would build PCs, he’d tell me about it, but I would only remember certain parts,” Felix explained. “That wasn’t too bad, he didn’t roast me too hard.” xQc admitted at the end of the video he had a tough time communicating with people who reach out to help, but we do hope he takes Linus up on his offer for assistance, as a collab stream between the two attempting to build a PC would be some great content.

xQc responds to possibility of streaming on Kick after Kai Cenat asks him – Dexerto
xQc responds to possibility of streaming on Kick after Kai Cenat asks him Twitch: xQcStreaming star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has said that he doesn’t have any plans right now to swap Twitch for Kick like some other big streamers, but he won’t completely shut the door on the idea. For years, Twitch has stood alone at the top of the mountain when it comes to being the go-to platform for the world’s biggest streamers, and has seen off a number of challengers to the throne. Mixer and Facebook Gaming have contended for the throne by signing big streamers away from Twitch, but they’ve fallen away. YouTube Gaming has made steady progress over the last few years, but even that lacks the functionality that makes Twitch what it is for streamers. The newest challenger has arrived in the form of Kick, a Trainwrecks-backed venture that was spawned following Twitch’s ban on gambling. It’s had a solid start to life with a few big streamers making it their second home. xQc leaves the door open on him potentially going to Kick A few streamers, including Adin Ross, have suggested that it could be their permanent home as eye up a potential break away from Twitch. And while xQc isn’t planning to make a switch any time soon, he won’t completely shut the door on the idea. “No. I mean, not now anyway. What?,” xQc said when Kai Cenat answered him about the idea during their joint IRL stream. Though, when Kai asked him again, he was a little coyer. “I mean, I don’t like giving yes and no’s about these topics because you don’t know how the world is going to be,” he added. “People need to realize that it’s not weird to not say no or yes, because the world changes. If you say no to something and the world completely breaks apart, it’s like ‘I said no, I can’t go anymore or you’re a hypocrite’. People need to realize things and people change, so your opinion might change.” The former Overwatch star added that some people “narrow” themselves so much that they can’t change tack and back themselves into one decision. As he’s still arguably Twitch’s biggest streamer, any other platform would have to throw serious money at xQc to make it worth his while. And who knows if anyone would want to follow what Mixer tried.

xQc responds to fans upset by him picking ExtraEmily as Love or Host winner – Dexerto
xQc responds to fans upset by him picking ExtraEmily as Love or Host winner Twitch: xQcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel urged his viewers to “start having fun again” after some were annoyed by him choosing ExtraEmily as the winner of his Love or Host show. The AustinShow’s Love or Host gameshow has been a staple of Twitch for a number of years now, going through a few different iterations and names along the way. A number of top streams have taken part in The Bachelor-esque contest, and on March 5, it was xQc’s turn to get involved. The xQc episode was, naturally, a hit, with the former Overwatch League star choosing OTK streamer ExtraEmily as the eventual winner from the field of contestants. Some of xQc’s fans were not pleased by the choice, given Emily’s links to OTK and how the organization has been caught up in controversy over the last few months with the investigations into Mizkif and sexual assault allegations against co-founder Rich Campbell. Though, xQc isn’t about the drama. xQc responds to fans upset by him picking ExtraEmily in Love or Host The French-Canadian addressed the situation during his March 7 stream, after he watched a clip of Trainwreck also weighing in on fans making it all about OTK. “Guys, listen, man, the show is about content having some fun. When did people stop having fun? I don’t get it,” xQc said. “People need to start having fun. Guys, please start having fun again, mothersuckers. I mean it’s so malding and sh*t, man, like just chill, just chill.” Plenty of other fans have already called it a success regardless of the drama, with many praising Emily’s showing and hoping that the pair crossover on more content in the future. The fact that Emily won wasn’t the only drama that the show produced, with Adept – xQc’s former partner – apparently banning Twitch streamer Zastela from her channel after she appeared on the show.

xQc responds to being left out of Streamer of the Year 2022 nominees – Dexerto
xQc responds to being left out of Streamer of the Year 2022 nominees Twitch: xQcTwitch powerhouse Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has questioned the Esports Awards’ recently revealed Streamer of the Year nominees, as well as taking some hilarious shots at League of Legends streamer tyler1. The annual Esports Awards have become a fairly big date in the gaming community’s calendars, with both entertainers and esports pros up for some of the biggest awards the scene currently offers. This year’s awards ceremony will take place in Las Vegas and, from June 30, the finalists for each category are being announced. Arguably the biggest category at the Esports Awards, the Streamer of the Year finalists have now been released. Unfortunately for the former Overwatch pro, xQc did not feature. He also had some choice words about the nominees and poked fun at tyler1, who did receive a nomination. Going through the finalist list in a July 1 broadcast, xQc couldn’t believe that tyler1 was nominated and others, like Ludwig, missed out. “Finalists for Streamer of the Year are… oh motherf**ker man,” he said, realizing he did not feature. “Holy, I mean dude I was lazy this year it is what it is. I f**king fell off, it is what it is. I f**king fell off boys.” While he didn’t seem too hurt that he wasn’t nominated, he did take issue with tyler1’s candidacy, launching into a brief impression of the LoL streamer. “I don’t give a f**k about not being streamer of the year,” he said, “I don’t give a f**k about not being on that list, but if you’re not gonna put me, don’t put f**king tyler1. Why the f**k is tyler1 on there? What the f**k? Bro… where’s Ludwig?” We shouldn’t read too much into xQc’s comments, with the streamer known to poke fun at – including tyler1 – frequently. Back in April, tyler1 roasted the former Overwatch pro for a hilarious League of Legends misplay. If that’s anything to go by, we can expect Tyler to reply in the near future.

xQc responds to Dream’s viral faked DMs from him: “Too far” – Dexerto
xQc responds to Dream’s viral faked DMs from him: “Too far” Twitch: xQc / Instagram: dreamwastaken / YouTube: DreamStreaming star xQc has responded after Dream created fake DMs between them in his infamously long video, joking that the Minecraft creator went “too far.” Popular Minecraft creator Dream uploaded his long-awaited video responding to multiple allegations against him on the evening of December 19, 2023. Dream’s video was 80-plus minutes long and covered nearly every bit of backlash he’d received over the course of his career — the most serious of which were allegations of grooming several young fans. The influencer denied all accusations of inappropriate reactions with his fans and, to prove a point about creating false evidence, decided to include a few fake DMs from high-profile streamers Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel and Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys. Dream creates fake DMs with xQc to prove a point At first, Dream didn’t qualify that the DMs were fake, directly calling out xQc for sending him flirty texts saying he “can’t stop thinking about you dude,” and that he “need[s] to be your gagdaddy.” On top of this, Dream even created a fake Snapchat exchange with Lengyel, where the streamer moaned in a dark video. It wasn’t until after he presented these DMs that Dream revealed they were totally fake, saying, “I made all those pieces of evidence in ten minutes with only free programs. What’s stopping anyone from going and making a fresh account, faking evidence, and then accusing a person they hate of something vile?” (Topic begins at 1:17:45) xQc jokes Dream went “too far” with fake DMs It wasn’t long before xQc caught wind of Dream’s video and watched it for himself — and it’s safe to say that he took the entire situation in good spirits. In fact, xQc even joked about the whole thing, saying, “When the girls stop responding, I realize that there’s still the guys left.” He went on to joke that Dream had taken things “too far” when he played the fake video of xQc moaning — but he was clearly amused by the entire ordeal, given the smile that was plastered on his face the entire time. Thus far, Dream’s lengthy video has been met with mixed reviews from fans and critics alike, but it’s clear his ‘fake’ screenshots sent the internet into a tizzy either way.

xQc responds to Andrew Tate ‘ratio’ after opening up on mental health – Dexerto
xQc responds to Andrew Tate ‘ratio’ after opening up on mental health Twitch: xQc / YouTube: Samuel LeedsTwitch star xQc reacted to getting “ratio’d” on Twitter by controversial commentator Andrew Tate after opening up about his mental health online. Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan Tate, have finally been released from police custody and are now under house arrest pending an ongoing investigation by Romanian authorities. The brothers were arrested in late December 2022 on charges of human trafficking, rape, and organized crime following multiple allegations against them. However, during their stay in prison, Tate’s Twitter account has been quite active, posting messages to his fans regarding his conditions and alleged threats to his life. xQc gets called out by Andrew Tate on Twitter Now that he’s back home, Tate’s Twitter account has been more active than ever — even replying to popular Twitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel in a post that’s gone viral. The Twitch streamer, who boasts over 11 million followers on his channel, opened up about his mental health in an April 6 tweet, writing: “Just sad lately, that’s it. Nothing else.” While it’s unclear exactly what xQc’s statement is referring to, it’s worth noting that the streamer is currently in the midst of a separation from ex-partner Adept. Leaked divorce filings for the couple showed several stipulations against xQc, preventing him from speaking out about their breakup online and even barring him from gambling. Andrew Tate caught wind of xQc’s post and let loose with an icy reply: “I can fix you.” Thus far, Tate’s tweet boasts over 100k likes and 3,000 retweets, beating out the activity on Lengyel’s post by a fair amount and prompting netizens to claim that he’d “ratio’d” the streamer. xQc reacted to Tate’s response during a recent Twitch stream, where he laughingly admitted that he’d been “ratio’d” by the inflammatory online personality. “I saw Tate replied,” xQc admitted. “Dude, he f*cking ratio’d me. It is what it is. What can I say, man? [I] literally fell off. Literally got ratio’d by Tate. F*cking [xQc] L, Tate W. Common Tate W. That is pretty common.” It seems like xQc was able to take the ribbing in good spirits and hasn’t replied to Tate’s post offering to “fix” him. X’s reply follows a fiery tirade from the streamer against OnlyFans consumers, which he claimed are “hindering” mankind.

xQc responds to backlash over his reaction videos: “I know what people want” – Dexerto
xQc responds to backlash over his reaction videos: “I know what people want” Twitch: xQc / Twitter: FilmsBubTwitch superstar xQc found himself on the receiving end of backlash after he was accused of “stealing” content for reaction videos. Now he has responded, stating he is simply giving viewers what they want. With the popularity of reaction videos, it’s no surprise that big streamers such as ‘xQc’ have taken to sharing their own. However, big names often end up getting more views than the original content, resulting in a new wave of backlash against the trend. Recently, xQc was accused of “stealing” other YouTuber’s content for his own channel, taking away views from smaller creators. Now he has hit back at those attempting to “cancel” him, stating he is only providing his viewers with what they want. ‘FilmsBub’ on Twitter shared a screenshot of a recent reaction stream by xQc, accompanying it with a tweet that said, “Lemmino spends months researching, scripting, and editing a video just for react streamers to reupload the entire thing and provide zero input.” However, after seeing the tweet and the support it received, xQc jumped in to defend himself and his content. “I paused like crazy, I added a lot of commentary… the chat was getting mad at me,” xQc said, claiming he even received a DM telling him to “shut the f*** up.” Calling a majority of streams “s***” content that viewers put on in the background while doing other things — such as playing games — xQc claimed that “A lot of it is going to be second screen content.” “Yes a lot of [reaction streams] is just watching it because that’s what chat wants,” xQc stated. “If I commentate too much, chat gets f***ing bored… chat gets mad.” And it seemed fans of the Twitch streamer were in support of his stance, with comments agreeing with the sentiment. One said, “Honestly [though] he’s not wrong, I watch on my second monitor while playing whatever I am and like watching him on the side.” “There are some topics I’ll talk more about… but overall, I know what people want,” xQc concluded, adding he would happily give back “every penny” to the original creators of any “full react” streams.

xQc responds to Dr Disrespect’s offer to meet at Lakers vs Warriors NBA playoffs game – Dexerto
xQc responds to Dr Disrespect’s offer to meet at Lakers vs Warriors NBA playoffs game xQc/Dr DisrespectDr Disrespect wants to join xQc at the Los Angeles vs Golden State Warriors NBA Playoffs series after the Twitch star’s last appearance at a game went viral. If you’ve ever turned into a Dr Disrespect stream, you’ve probably heard him talking about his athletic background and basketball at some point. The Two-Time is a former Division 2 college athlete, has appeared in the NBA 2K franchise, and, as a big fan of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors, has appeared courtside a few times. And yes, he attends games in the same signature outfit that he appears on stream in. With the Warriors progressing past the Sacramento Kings and into the Western Conference semi-finals, they’ll meet the Lakers – xQc’s local team. The former Overwatch star has already gone viral for how he sat on a chair at a recent game and for meeting Anthony Davis, and the Doc wants to get involved. Dr Disrespect wants to watch Lakers vs Warriors with xQc Prior to the Warrior’s Game 7 win in Sacramento, The Two-Time had a stream where he was asked about the playoffs and if he’d seen xQc sitting courtside for the Lakers game. After making his prediction for a Warriors win – which ended up happening – he tossed an idea out to the Twitch star. “Might have to get feet on the floor. I think xQc and The Two-Time, feet on the floor,” he said. Though, the Doc has no intention of paying to join xQc at courtside. “He (xQc) has to buy them though,” he added. His idea did catch the eye of xQc, who has already revealed that he’ll be at Game 3 of the series and sitting courtside. Sadly, the Canadian streamer said he has no idea if The Two-Time will show up at the same game. The pair have met in person at TwitchCon previously, and it’s always a fun time when they collab. So, fans will be hoping something happens between them.

xQc responds to Adin Ross’ demand that Hasan kill himself: “Lame as f**k” – Dexerto
xQc responds to Adin Ross’ demand that Hasan kill himself: “Lame as f**k” Twitch: adinross/xqcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has shared his thoughts on Adin Ross’ recent tirade on social media, in which he urged streamer Hasan to “kill himself,” condemning what the Kick streamer said. Adin Ross has never strayed from controversy or saying exactly what is on his mind, for better or for worse. However, on June 7, Adin was accused of going too far and came under serious fire after begging Hasan to kill himself, and making other threats, in a series of tweets that have since been removed for violating Twitter rules. This came just a day after he posted a video in which he gave away over $400,000 worth of cash and gifts to friends and family. Immediately, Adin’s tweets started to go viral, with fans and critics alike sharing their thoughts. Naturally, this meant that his fellow streamers started to share their thoughts on the situation. xQc slams Adin’s tweets One of those who reacted was xQc, who was clearly not impressed by Adin’s comments, speaking about them during his livestream. “The tweet is f**king weird,” he said. “Well, it’s not weird, it’s just not right. Straight up. You can say ‘Soft, L,’ but past events overall have made me realize that wishing permanent something on somebody, or asking them to do it, it’s not right. I don’t like it.” He went on to say that he’s “never even come close” to saying it, because he thinks “it’s lame as f**k.” Hasan and Adin never really have seen eye-to-eye, but many have criticized his comments, though the Kick star has not shown any remorse for what he said. This came not long after Adin said that Hasan and Mizkif were both banned from Kick, with Hasan calling him a “gremlin” in return.

xQc responds as Pokimane claims he has “bone to pick” over Cookies drama – Dexerto
xQc responds as Pokimane claims he has “bone to pick” over Cookies drama Twitch: xQc/PokimaneStreaming star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has responded to Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys claiming he has a “bone to pick” with her over his review of her Myna Cookies and subsequent drama. Plenty of streamers and content creators have gotten involved with merchandising and suffered backlash as a result of poor quality or overpriced products. Well, Pokimane is the latest to be caught up in that. The Twitch star launched her Myna Snacks Midnight Mini Cookies at the backend of November, with many fans complaining about the pricing. A fair few compared it to a similar, cheaper brand at Costco. The heat was further turned up on Pokimane after she called a fan “broke” for complaining about the price – which she maintains was a joke. Plenty of streamers have chimed in with their own views of the situation, including xQc, who, in his “unbiased” review of the cookies said they left him “upset” and wanted improvements. xQc responds to Pokimane over Myna Cookies drama In a conversation with Kai Cenat, Pokimane responded to that, saying that “sometimes, other people’s opinions are none of my business,” before adding that she believed xQc had a “bone to pick” with her over it. Well, the former Overwatch star was a bit taken aback by that. “Bro, what? That is directly her business! I’m just a voice out of all the voices,” he said. “I gave an honest review. I tried my best, chat, to objectively say what I felt about the cookie with no bias. “What did I do man? I never said anything bad. Why is everybody so mald, I don’t get it? I didn’t do anything.” xQc continued and claimed that he “instigated some tension because it was funny,” comparing it to being sent to detention in school with a friend where you laugh at each other. “For me, it was almost relatable like ‘oh, I’m making a joke, people are calling me out’ and I was like oh, it’s kind of cool to see somebody who is normally respected do the same behavior, right, and I can make fun of them like they make fun of me,” he added. The Twitch and Kick streamer has also said he faces more backlash than Pokimane for controversies, comparing what happened to his drama with H3H3 from August.

xQc reports fan to police after being sent “scary” suspicious package – Dexerto
xQc reports fan to police after being sent “scary” suspicious package Twitch: xQcFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel had to take a step back from his fan mail unboxing after opening up a “scary” suspicious package full of syringes, before eventually reporting the original sender to the police. xQc has a PO box set up so his fans from all over the globe can send him gifts, gags, and other goodies for the streamer to open and enjoy. While sometimes they’re jokes, one viewer may have taken it a step too far, leaving the streamer stunned. During his February 2 unboxing, the Canadian streamer opened up a yellow letter-sized package, although he didn’t disclose the sender’s identity. After opening it up carefully, he stared at what was inside — a bag of syringes. https://twitter.com/xQc/status/1186676428991094784 “These are syringes,” he said in shock, before getting up from his chair. “Okay, I’m done. Holy sh*t, what the f**k.” The streamer took all the precautions possible, throwing the package into the bin and going off stream to wash his hands, before coming back to assess the situation. While some questioned whether they were fake syringes, or possibly even syringes to apply thermal paste onto his CPU, like the package described, xQc was not running the risk of getting sick or injured via the sharp objects. “No, they’re not, they’re real syringes, what the f**k man. That’s f**king scary dude, don’t do sh*t like that. I know that I sound like a fucking p*ssy but that’s f**king ruined… f**k man.” He brought in fellow streamer Adept to help him deal with the package, then asked his chat whether he was going to be safe after touching the bag. “Chat, I hate to ask, but you saw how I opened it right? Like very carefully? Nothing could have happened right? It didn’t poke me, they were hard sealed. “F**k, my heart’s racing dude. I’m not a p*ssy dude, it’s just weird, that sh*t can be life-threatening. That’s not funny, it’s not even half-funny, not a little bit. After calming himself down, xQc told his viewers that he was going to report the sender to police, with the package allegedly having a return-to-sender address on the back. “I’m going to call the police, of course, I’m going to report it,” he said. xQc did end up opening the rest of his fan package without another hitch, although the mood was definitely killed by the scary experience earlier on in the stream. Most importantly though, the streamer is safe, if a bit shaken by the experience, and he will be a bit more careful with handling what his fans sent him.

It sparked a fiery dispute online, with streamers across the community left split by the decision. Some condemned streamers who include gambling in their content for fear of the effect it could have on viewers. Others, though, argued that the blame shouldn’t be placed on the streamers but the online gambling companies. Having continuously fired back at any criticism, xQc has responded to another fan who has asked him to end his gambling streams. xQc reacts to calls to quit gambling streams On June 12, xQc was searching through Reddit when he came across a clip from IRL content creator Jake’n’Bake’s stream. With the clip’s caption being ‘Juicer begs xQc to stop gamba and play chess again,’ xQc couldn’t help but watch. Pointing at the camera, the fan said: “xQc don’t gamble play Chess.” Although, Jake added that Chess is also “kind of like gambling.” xQc smiled throughout the clip and simply responded by saying “Chess? Interesting. Thanks man” before moving on with his stream. It was a surprizingly calm reaction for a streamer who has fired back at his critics over the drama and lashed out at fans claiming he should be a ‘role model‘. The original clip from Jake’s stream went viral on Reddit, picking 2.2k reactions on the website. Several fans commenting on the post similarly feared over xQc’s gambling content, with some worried that he could be “genuinely addicted.” xQc has been open about his gambling addiction and the vast amounts of money he has lost during his playthroughs. However, he has currently made no comment as to whether he would consider ever quitting again.

xQc remembers where he started after the $70 million Kick deal – Dexerto
xQc remembers where he started after the $70 million Kick deal xQcA tweet from Jonathan Larsson showing xQc’s old setup sent him and his fanbase down memory lane, reminiscing about his rise to the top of the streaming world and his “rags to riches” story. The deal between Kick live-streaming platform and Twitch megastar xQc is still sending shockwaves down the streaming world, as Kick reportedly received a million new users in just 24 hours after the deal was made public. The deal brought xQc to the budding streaming platform officially on June 16 of 2023, and reportedly Felix made more than $70 million dollars by signing the contract. Shortly after the announcement, Jonathan Larsson Tweeted: “5 years ago, we let xQc stay at our apartment when he needed a place to stay. The desk was cardboard boxes we stacked on top of each other. Today he signed a $100 million deal with Kick. Unreal.” Attached was the picture of xQc’s old setup which sent him and his fanbase down memory lane, remembering how he grew to be one of the largest creators on Twitch. xQc and his fans react to the photo of his old streaming setup xQc saw Johnathan’s Tweet and replied to it on June 17 stating: “Just saw this, this era changed the game. Thank you again.” The streamer’s fanbase also shared some of the fond memories they made while watching Felix during this period of his streams. “Desk slams hit different back then. I remember his computer laying in full on pieces on the ground,” said one of xQc’s fans. Others simply congratulated X and pointed out that he turned into quite the celebrity from such humble beginnings. “Literally from rags to riches! LFG well done xQc honestly you deserve it you’ve worked so damn hard for all you have achieved congrats on the big signing! Stay blessed we are happy to have you on kick,” reads one of the replies. xQc’s first two streams on Kick have already been a massive success, with his viewership looking similar to what he usually gets on Twitch, which is impressive given that Kick has fewer users than Twitch. For now, at least. Amouranth also took the plunge and joined Kick, just days after xQc confirmed his move. It seems that Kick is making serious aggressive moves in trying to compete with Twitch, who knows how that rivalry will end.
