xQc sexual assault investigation closed following Adept’s allegations in court case Instagram: adeptthebest / Instagram: xqcow1Legal documents appear to show the criminal investigation into sexual assault and violence claims made by Samantha ‘Adept’ Lopez against ex-partner Felix ‘xQc’ has closed without conviction. The saga of xQc and Adept’s public split continues. Having previously been “informally married” in 2020, the couple filed for divorce on November 14, 2022, according to earlier reports. Months later, Adept filed for a Protective Order on June 9, 2023. This Protective Order came in light of alleged “conduct that constitutes family violence” as the Respondent (xQc) had supposedly “harmed or threatened to harm” the Applicant (Adept). As a result, the two had to maintain a 350ft distance at all times, and the former was barred from discussing any matters pertaining to their relationship in a public setting, thereby including Twitch streams. Two months after this Order was filed, former investigator turned Twitch streamer Henry Resilient – who has previously leaked divorce filings – filed a public information request on August 10, 2023 in hopes of uncovering the truth behind the accusations. Now, having received them, but not all the information back, the streamer has revealed the court’s conclusion. As the legal documents show, the criminal investigation into the matter has been closed and the final result was reportedly not a “conviction or deferred adjudication.” Henry Resilient displayed his legally obtained documents on stream on August 31, sharing with viewers the information that came from his public request weeks prior. However, much of what had been requested was redacted not only as it contained “identifying information”, but also due to its relation to other ongoing proceedings. One section in particular, Exhibit C, claims to relate to the sexual assault allegations leveled against xQc. While details pertaining to Exhibit C were not provided, the accompanying statement appears to clarify the result of the relevant criminal investigation. “Information contained in Exhibit C is exempt from disclosure because it is information and internal records of a law enforcement agency relating to a closed criminal investigation that ended in a result other than a conviction or deferred adjudication.” While xQc has admitted infidelity in the past, the content creator has vehemently denied any and all physical or sexual assault accusations in previous relationships, including his years spent with Adept. “I will not stand for that,” xQc said during an August 12, 2023 stream. “In all of my relationships, whether it’s with friends, whether it’s with girls, I have never been, a singular incident, physically abusive, a singular time. It has never happened.”

xQc refuses to stop watching shows on Twitch and is planning more anime streams – Dexerto
xQc refuses to stop watching shows on Twitch and is planning more anime streams Twitch: xQc / Viz MediaFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has made his stance on Twitch’s controversial “react meta” quite clear — he is refusing to stop watching TV shows on-streams and is even planning more to air more anime series in the future. Twitch has become awash with streamers watching TV shows like Master Chef, Avatar, and Death Note recently, not least of all platform king xQc. The French-Canadian star has been right at the heart of the controversial “react meta,” streaming Gordon Ramsay shows and anime like Hunter x Hunter. And while others are now calling time on the meta after Pokimane’s ban and Disguised Toast’s elaborate prank, xQc has no plans to stop. In fact, he’s doubling down on watching shows. “I’m not going to stop,” he said. “What is the problem? We’re gonna keep watching Master Chef, definitely gonna keep watching Hunter x Hunter. That’s the plan.” Lengyel has made it clear he doesn’t think any kind of sanction is coming, especially regarding his anime watching. He’s watching Hunter x Hunter for now, then will move onto a different anime, he says. “What are people expecting, crackdowns?” he laughed. “Really, are these guys okay? Brother, people have been watching full seasons of Master Chef, and they’re saying it’s okay. How are people going to point the finger at me, and blame, claiming they’re holier than thou, when they’re doing the same thing, if not worse, on their streams? I’m so confused.” “There’s other people watching YouTube. Hasan watches news, that’s really poking the bear at full throttle. These takes aren’t bad, but the hypocrisy is insane.” Related segment begins at 6:31 in VOD below. “People have been doing all this DMCA sh*t for the longest time ever, watching shows included. I don’t think it’s an issue,” xQc said. “They enforce stuff based on how likely it is to blow up and then Twitch has to ban you. TV shows don’t really have that. It’s why boxing is, like, extremely DMCA, so it’s insane. “Why do people act like DMCA are going to do sh*t? “Twitch is the wild west,” he continued. “When it comes to other sh*t, it’s the wild west [for DMCA strikes]. Nobody knows what’s going to stick and what won’t stick. “What I stream is something people want. If people want to watch it, they’ll watch. That’s it! How is it bad if it’s something people want, and people are getting?”

xQc reduces fan to tears with an early Christmas gift – Dexerto
xQc reduces fan to tears with an early Christmas gift YouTube: xQc clipsA “wholesome” interaction has gone viral after xQc reduced a fan to tears after gifting him an early Christmas present. Ever since Omegle’s reign over the internet ended, streamers have been using Monkey Chat to interact with strangers. Namely, xQc has been live-streaming his time on the app via Kick, though more often than not, the conversations have ended in insults being exchanged. Now, however, a “wholesome” moment has gone viral after a young fan asked the popular streamer for an early Christmas present — and his wish was granted. Stumbling onto xQc while on the app with a friend, the boy instantly recognized the “big ass streamer,” taking the opportunity to grab a photo as proof of the interaction. The boy then asked if he could be gifted a “PC for Christmas,” to which xQc said, “If you show me around and you’re broke, I’ll actually get you one.” “I swear to God, on my life, I’m not just begging for one ‘cause I just want to be on YouTube,” the boy said, revealing he had hopes of becoming a streamer himself. This was evidently enough to convince xQc, who sent the boy enough money for PC. Moved to tears, the boy repeatedly thanked xQc for the gift, who simply responded with, “You’re all good man. It cost nothing to me… and it does a lot for you so I’m glad to do it, man.” The interaction quickly went viral, with viewers touched by the kind act. One person wrote, “That’s the most wholesome thing I have seen [xQc] do.” Another said, “Wholesome. Props to xQc for making that kid’s Christmas a whole lot better.” Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

xQc “refuses” to play Crab Game after DDOS attacks, then does it anyway – Dexerto
xQc “refuses” to play Crab Game after DDOS attacks, then does it anyway Twitch: xQc / Crab GameFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel told Twitch fans he “refuses” to play Crab Game even though the developer fixed the security issues that led to the DDoS attack — but then he played it anyway mere hours later. Squid Game’s success has spawned several spin-off games based on the show. But while most are custom-made mods, one called Crab Game burst onto the scene as the first free-to-play standalone game on Steam. It wasn’t long before it gained traction on Twitch. Several streamers, including xQc, Sykkuno, Sodapoppin, Disguised Toast, and more, started making lobbies in a similar fashion to when Among Us was at its peak. However, things took a turn for the worse after a security hole allowed people with malicious intentions to access their IP addresses. xQc was one of many streamers who were hit with DDoS attacks that forced them to end their streams. The developer issued an update shortly after. He claimed the problem had been fixed and the game was safe to play. However, xQc still “refused” to play. xQc explains why he “refuses” to play Crab Game The topic came up when a fan asked him to play the game. “F**k Crab Game,” he said in response. Then he revealed the DDoS attacks caused significant damage to his router. “I had to buy a new router for that.” Others pointed out the issue had been fixed, but xQc still wasn’t sold on the idea. “They fixed it? I don’t care. I’m not going to take the risk unless I have to.” He also claimed that the “fun and cool” factor about it is gone. xQc backflips on Crab Game decision, plays anyway Hilariously, though, he completely backflipped on that decision less than a couple of hours later. “Can I make a Crab Game now without getting hacked? Are you sure it’s good?” he asked. He double-checked the developer’s comments assuring its safety, and then jumped on and host a game while he was waiting for something else to download. He was immediately hooked again. The incident hasn’t seemed to slow down Crab Game’s momentum, though. It’s still currently one of the most-watched games on the platform. xQc made it clear that he wasn’t planning to return anytime soon. But there’s always a chance he might change his mind, especially if fans keep asking him.

xQc reclaims Twitch crown in March as Asmongold, Fextralife drop off – Dexerto
xQc reclaims Twitch crown in March as Asmongold, Fextralife drop off Twitch: xQc, AsmongoldAfter a month away from the top, xQc has slipped back into prime position as the most-watched streamer on Twitch for March 2022. It comes after stars like Asmongold and guides channel Fextralife declined slightly following the launch week hype of Elden Ring. Reclaiming, losing, and summarily reclaiming the top spot on Twitch seems like a never ending carousel for xQc. Though the streamer has dabbled in his fair share of controversial moments, nothing keeps him down for long. Even Fextralife harnessing Elden Ring’s astronomical popularity couldn’t keep the French-Canadian titan out of the top spot for more than a month as he boasted 18 million hours watched for March, according to Sullygnome. Despite claiming the top spot, xQc did suffer a decrease of 11.8% in comparison to February. Brazilian Twitch star Gaules climbed back up to second as his viewership also climbed by 9.6%. One of the big stories from March’s data was Maximum increasing his view time by 860% from last month, with the WoW streamer rocketing into the top 10 for the first time in his content career thanks to the Race to World First. He even closed in on long time WoW staple Asmongold, who was viewed 49.9% less in March then he was in February. Continuing the trend of streamers coming out of nowhere to shake things up at the top, the launch of Echo_Esports saw the Filipino team absolutely fly out of the gates with a stellar first time, and landing in the top 5. With the channel only being formed on March 8, the team cracked the top 5 without a full month of potential viewing time. With hundreds of millions of hours between the streamers, they found plenty of common ground with the games played, in a gaming roundup dominated by Just Chatting, League of Legends and Elden Ring. You can find the full top 10 list of Twitch games for March 2022, based on hours of watch time, below. Most watched Twitch streamers in March 2022 xQcOW – 18,077,641 – Gaules – 14,689,108 – ESL_CSGO – 10,593,835 – Trainwreckstv – 9,949,855 – Echo_Esports – 9,651,722 – ibai – 9,620,679 – Asmongold – 9,543,455 – Maximum – 8,640,975 – HasanAbi – 8,262,344 – Fextralife – 7,959,126 –

xQc recreates classic Summit CS:GO blunder and it’s hilarious – Dexerto
xQc recreates classic Summit CS:GO blunder and it’s hilarious Twitch: xQcPopular Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel accidentally recreated Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar classic CS:GO blunder, and it’s absolutely hilarious to watch. xQc is one of the most popular creators on Twitch. Sitting at close to 11M followers makes him the 5th most-followed streamer on the Amazon-owned platform. Despite his history of competing in Overwatch, the juicer doesn’t exactly have a good track record of being the best gamer. During a recent broadcast, the streaming star made a mistake that took fans on a nostalgia trip and reminded them of Summit1g‘s classic blunder during his competitive career in Counter-Strike. In recent months, xQc has played his fair share of Counter-Strike, which was no different in his June 10 broadcast. However, various clips from him playing the popular first-person shooter in recent times have proven he’s not exactly the best. During a late-game round on the map Overpass, the juicer surprisingly showed off with one of his best performances yet, securing three kills with an AWP on defense. But, what soon followed was nothing short of hilarious. After taking down the three attackers, xQc threw his Molotov onto the site to try and assist his teammates. However, it all turned out for the worst when he accidentally walked into his own flames – killing him almost instantly and costing him his sniper rifle. Adding more fuel to the fire, one of xQc’s teammates poked fun at the popular Twitch streamer. “Oh sh*t, I didn’t realize I was playing with Summit. Holy f**k,” said his teammate, all while the juicer shamefully held his head in his hands. xQc’s chat was no different as well, with hundreds of messages repeatedly spamming 1g. Of course, in reference to Summit’s identical mistake in a competitive match at the Dreamhack Zowie Open in 2016. This isn’t the only blunder xQc has made in Counter-Strike recently either. One of the most recent comedic moments came during his stream on June 4, where he went viral after accidentally sabotaging his teammates.

xQc reacts to PewDiePie’s bizarre impression of him: “He knows!” – Dexerto
xQc reacts to PewDiePie’s bizarre impression of him: “He knows!” YT: PewDiePie/Twitch: xQcFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel, ex-Overwatch pro turned full-time Twitch entertainer, had a surprisingly heartwarming reaction to YouTube King PewDiePie’s bizarre impression of him. When it comes to the world of streaming and content creation, there are few names as big as xQc and PewDiePie. The pair, one known for Twitch and the other YouTube, are instantly recognizable by their vibrant personalities and humor. The pair have also poked fun at each other, and this continued at the end of July with PewDiePie, who exclusively streams on YouTube, doing his best impression of xQc. The result was something rather uncanny; a bizarre and stuttering PewDiePie doing his best to emulate the Canadian’s unique mannerisms. The Swede’s impression garnered the attention of xQc who, in a July 31 stream, was actually impressed by it. While you’d be forgiven for assuming that xQc would become animated and fire some shots back, he merely chuckled and appeared to appreciate the strange impersonation. “Damn, he knows dude!” xQc laughed. “[The impression is] actually good. That was pretty wholesome, I like it. That was wholesome dude, I liked that a lot.” We’ve certainly seen better impressions of xQc – particularly the incredibly accurate one exhibited regularly by TSM Myth – but at least Lengyel himself was happy with it. Despite being somewhat prone to hilarious outbursts, xQc, for whatever reason, decided to keep his emotions in check this time. Now it’s his turn to impersonate the YouTube King, but we’re sure PewDiePie would have something to say about that.

xQc reacts as YouTube channel terminated amid copyright chaos – Dexerto
xQc reacts as YouTube channel terminated amid copyright chaos xQcStreaming star xQc has reacted to his YouTube channel’s sudden shutdown, expressing confidence that the channel and videos will return. Popular streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has been under fire for “stealing content” for his reaction videos and has faced multiple copyright strikes on YouTube across his various channels. In recent weeks, however, xQc had refrained from posting to his main YouTube channel, seemingly hoping to avoid another copyright strike that would put his account at risk. But now, the streamer has learned that his channel has been taken down after attempts to visit the page led to a message stating, “This page isn’t available. Sorry about that. Try searching for something else.” At the time of writing, xQc’s YouTube channel was completely inaccessible, and all of his content had disappeared from the site. Reacting to the situation live on stream, xQc expressed confusion and a hint of frustration. He believes the termination is due to pending counterclaims on copyright strikes not being processed in time, resulting in an “auto-termination.” xQc seemed optimistic about the reversal of this situation, stating, “I think it’s because, like basically I think some, what the strikes were going to kick in, then I had like a counterclaim, and then it just, it didn’t kick in in time or something like that, and it’s auto-termination, but it gets, it comes back up.” Despite the setback, xQc seems relatively unconcerned about the situation from a personal standpoint, indicating that he doesn’t care about the financials. Rather, xQc’s more focused on the community aspect of his content. “I’m financially not mad about it and never will, ’cause it was always for people,” he stated. “YouTube is for people, I don’t care what the amount of money it makes… It sucks that we lose it for now because people don’t get their content, right? But revenue-wise, I haven’t looked twice at it.” Although xQc’s seemingly hopeful that that channel will return, his fans aren’t so sure and are disappointed by the small chance that all of his content could be lost forever. One fan remarked, “This legitimately sucks if he isn’t able to get the channel back. Discovered his content late 2019-Early 2020 and there were so many good memories.” Another added, “Lowkey tho, his old vids were entertaining [as f***]. Sucks to see so many memories go down this way.”

xQc reacts to backlash for being “coached” in a Minecraft speedrun – Dexerto
xQc reacts to backlash for being “coached” in a Minecraft speedrun Twitch/xQcFelix “xQc” Lengyel set a new personal record in a Minecraft speedrun, but the streamer received backlash for being coached by another speedrunner while doing so. Felix addressed the harsh comments in his recent live stream. Minecraft is one of the most popular games for speedrunning thanks to its accessibility. xQc and Forsen found themselves entangled in an unexpected rivalry when both started speedrunning Minecraft and their audiences wanted to see who will be the first to set a record the other cannot beat. At the beginning of 2023, xQc beat Forsen’s record after two years but he’s back to running the game as Forsen beat xQc’s record in March 2023. To learn new strategies X asked a fellow speedrunner, k4, to coach him, which quickly became a point of contention for those invested in the feud, as they claimed: “it shouldn’t count.” xQc addressed these comments, saying that he personally finds it strange that something like this would make people upset, and clarified that he was simply doing a training run before the real thing. xQc thinks people criticizing his “coached” run need to “chill out” xQc made a statement that later found its way to his xQc Clips channel, telling viewers getting angry at him getting couched to “chill the f**k out.” “I was playing a videogame with a friend on Discord voice, chill the f**k out,” said Felix about the situation. “Everybody is so pressed for me playing a videogame with Tiff on Discord. I did not submit the run, I did not make a big deal out of the run, we just moved on.” xQc continued to explain that this attempt was not even a legitimate run, he was simply playing a game and learning new strategies that came out since his time of running the game. His fans agreed, with the most liked comment under the clip saying: “I will never understand why steamers acknowledge these lsf/Reddit threads that criticize them heavily or just straight up hate on them.” The competition is still on regardless, and xQc’s quest to beat Forsen’s Minecraft speedrun time has only just begun.

xQc rages at viewer for “Costco package” sized donation message – Dexerto
xQc rages at viewer for “Costco package” sized donation message Twitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is one of the platform’s most popular streamers, and while he makes quite a good living thanks to his viewers, that doesn’t mean they’re immune to criticisms of overly-long donation messages. During a January 6 broadcast, the former Overwatch League pro received a message that seemed to drag on for more than the streamer could take. “I know chat is mean to you sometimes, but you should keep doing what you’re doing,” the donation read. “Let’s get this juice. Please watch this video,” it went on before Lengyel snapped and went on a tirade. “Okay, shut the f**k up!” the French Canadian screamed. “Shut the f**k up! Shut your stupid a** f**king mouth! Holy sh*t, dude! Oh my God.” The irony of the whole situation is that the donor mentioned how chat was sometimes mean to xQc, but the streamer took it upon himself to absolutely destroy the viewer for his words of encouragement. Eventually, however, the superstar streamer admitted that he snapped, but proceeded to mock the viewer some more for his long message. “Hey man, I’m having a great day. Well, it’s not that good. Hey, you usually help. Hey, chat is doing this, so do this instead. Oh, also, here’s a video. Oh, also, here’s my Snap,” he trailed on, mimicking messages he receives. “Holy shit, shut the f**k up!” “I don’t get this meta, of like ‘hard packing’ everything in one,” Felix screamed as he pretended to physically cram his fist into his hand. “It’s crazy.” Then, in probably his best line of the whole rant, xQc compared the overly long message to a Costco-sized package. “It’s like a super f**king value Costco package, motherf**ker,” he cursed before standing up in his chair and farting. “That’s what I think about it, dude.” The Costco comparison is quite humorous as the retail chain is known for its sometimes comically large packages of standard items. The store has been parodied in popular media, such as a cold open in the cartoon series Family Guy. While it’s unclear if xQc likes Costco, it’s clear that no one is off-limits for the streamer’s rage, even those who support his broadcasts.

xQc rallies team with epic speech before Minecraft Monday – Dexerto
xQc rallies team with epic speech before Minecraft Monday Twitch: xQcOW / Pixabay / Minecraft MondayWhile waiting in the lobby for Minecraft Monday to start, popular Twitch star Félix ‘xQc‘ Lengyel delivered an epic speech for the ages to rally his team and audience before the Minecraft competition began. Overwatch pro xQc is teaming up with m0xy for week 10 of KEEMSTAR’s Minecraft Monday on August 26. The ‘Hunger Games’ mode pits teams against each other in the sandbox title until the last squad left standing wins. While waiting for the competition to begin, the Canadian streamer turned to his audience to give an epic speech that touched on everything from fate to the cosmos as he rallied his team into battle. “You chose to be here!” As the participants for Minecraft Monday waited in the lobby, xQc launched into a speech to pump his team and audience up: “You could be anywhere on earth. In anybody’s chat. Anywhere on Twitch. On any website.” Read More: Artist terrified after seeing James Charles’ buns “You could be watching a movie on Netflix. You could be watching any other stream. But instead, you are here. It’s not a place where you just landed on by random pure luck. By mere coincidence. You chose to be here. And me and m0xy also chose to be here!” he said proudly. The Overwatch pro gave a passionate speech to his audience. As the music swelled in the background, the Twitch star got deeply philosophical. “You’re a part of something bigger. Something greater. Something that thrives past our times. Something we don’t even understand yet, dude,” he ranted passionately. But he didn’t stop there – the Canadian then said that they were making history together. “Some day were going into history books, boys and girls. Because today…” he paused, before slapping his hands together. “… Marks the day where m0xy and me take rank 1!” The Overwatch pro’s epic speech built up to an equally epic climax when the Twitch star couldn’t remember what the prize pool actually was. “And win $5,000 dollars! Or is it 10?” Unsure what the actual winnings were, he continued screaming “$10,000 dollars!” before his partner m0xy cut in “It’s $10,000 divided by 2.” This caused the pro to stumble. “So it’s $5,000! No, it’s $10,000!”, before m0xy tried to cut back in again, which caused a xQc to frustratingly smack his hand on the desk and say “dude, I’m almost done with the speech, dude!” While the epic speech comically sizzled out at the end by confusing prize numbers, it seemed to hit his audience deep as his chat repeatedly posted “I was there PogU”.

xQc rages after being “scammed” by Toreba crane game – Dexerto
xQc rages after being “scammed” by Toreba crane game Popular Overwatch play – but it wasn’t Overwatch that got him heated during a September 20 stream. Although a former player for the Dallas Fuel, xQc isn’t just an Overwatch junkie, broadcasting a variety of games for his audience like CS:GO, as well as browsing through viral Twitch clips. Lengyel further added to his portfolio of content during a September 20 broadcast by trying his hand at Toreba, a remote crane game service that allows players to try their hand at the UFO-catcher from the comfort of their own home. As many players know, crane games are no cakewalk, and many require certain strategies (and hours in front of the arcade machine) to win – a fact that xQc found out the hard way. Read More: PewDiePie brought to tears over fan’s emotional message The streamer appeared to have a win in the bag, after managing to pick up a ping pong ball with the claw machine. The tension was apparent in his face as the machine sidled over to the right to hover over the target point – and failed to drop the ball, which stayed attached to its prong. “WHAT?” xQc screamed in response to the failure, claiming that the game was merely a scam to swindle players out of their money. “I’m done! I’m done! Scammed! Scammed! …that is utter fucking trash! It is magnetized. That is proof. That is magnetized!” While xQc may not be a crane game god, that isn’t stopping him from trying his hand at other titles: but he gets equally frustrated with these games, at times, as seen during his rant at another player during a CS:GO session on September 2. “I have never paused the game before,” the streamer shouted after a fellow player decided to pause their match. “I have never asked for pause, I will never ask for a pause ever. So tell me, with what it’s in the mind of a piece of shit like you, why do you pause games? Fuckin tell me!” No matter the game, it looks like xQc always has big reactions in store – although these reactions don’t always correlate with dubs, as in the case of his failed Toreba experience.

xQc rages over “lazy” YouTubers who make excuses for not uploading videos – Dexerto
xQc rages over “lazy” YouTubers who make excuses for not uploading videos Twitch: xQcOW / UnsplashDuring his February 19 broadcast, Twitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel hit out at content creators who say they can’t upload because they are too busy. The Overwatch pro roasted them as being “lazy” in an epic rant. xQc is one of the most subscribed personalities on Twitch, as viewers tune in to watch the Canadian’s entertaining variety broadcasts which are often filled with explosive rants. However during his latest stream, the Overwatch pro took issue with YouTubers who say they are too “busy” to upload. The streamer called them “excuses” and was not having it at all. xQc unloads on “lazy” content creators The Twitch star decided to react to an upload by a YouTuber Elsy Guevara titled “The Truth” where she explained that she hasn’t uploaded in over three months due to being pregnant. However, the streamer quickly paused the video and went off. “I’ll tell you how it is. This will be harsh, but it’s the truth. If you are a content creator, someone who makes videos for a living. You can be going through a lot of things, but saying you are too busy because of those things, and there is too much going on that you can’t upload F**K OFF!” he yelled. Continuing his rant, the Canadian repeated “F**K OFF!” before exclaiming “it’s the stupidest sh*t I’ve ever heard. These people, I’m sorry. They’re LAZY! Absolute lazy andys!” The Overwatch pro then called these kind of videos “excuses” and said, “You can say as much as you want, dude, on how much it takes to do a two minute video. You’re just f**king lazy. STOP! I hate excuse videos, man!” He then continued, “Just don’t make videos, dude, because you’re not motivated. You’re not able to produce content. Whatever, dude. I hate it!” he raged. The Twitch streamer then curiously clicked on the YouTuber’s upload tab and exclaimed “Jesus, man. Jesus. Holy dude. Chat, five videos!” as he noticed her channel only had a handful of videos. Whether you agree with him or not, xQc is one of the top streamers in the industry right now. The Canadian went from the Overwatch pro scene to building up his channel with variety broadcasts. As of the time of this article, he’s amassed over two million followers and consistently pulls in 25k viewers every time he goes live, making him one of the most watched on the platform.

xQc rages about people who care about spoilers following Destiny drama – Dexerto
xQc rages about people who care about spoilers following Destiny drama Former Overwatch professional, Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel, went off on his May 18 stream, fuming with people who get upset with having shows and movies spoiled for them. The popular Twitch streamer has made his feelings known in the past that he doesn’t care for spoilers, but did vow to ban anyone who ruined Avengers: Endgame for any of his viewers despite not wanting to watch the movie for himself. Following the release of the film, which broke many box office records, YouTube star – Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg – also hit out at the idea of spoiler prevention for the film, with Marvel keen to get the hashtag #Don’tSpoilTheEndgame trending. xQc also controversially praised fellow streamer Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnell who came under fire after sending spoilers to random users on Reddit for popular TV series, Game of Thrones. xQc explains why people shouldn’t cry about spoilers Finally, the Canadian has revealed why he fumes over people who get upset when their favorite movie or TV show is ruined for them. “I will not go full Destiny guys, but here’s my take,” he said. “If you cared that much about spoilers, why don’t you fucking watch the piece of shit movie or show, in a decent fucking time [period]! “Fuck, go see it, if you care about it that much!” While xQc is known for his controversial takes and moments of rage on stream, the topic of spoilers is still a touchy one for many. The former Dallas Fuel star has also recently been criticized for not paying for the creators of his Twitch emotes. The streamer argued that the clip had been taken completely out of context and ultimately ended up deleting the emote from his channel to ensure there were no further arguments.

xQc rages after hackers destroy Minecraft Monday server – Dexerto
xQc rages after hackers destroy Minecraft Monday server Twitch: xQcOW / Pixabay / Minecraft MondayTwitch star and two-time Minecraft Monday champion Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel was stunned when the October 7 tournament he was competing in was sent into chaos after hackers infiltrated the server. Minecraft Monday has become one of the most popular gaming tournaments, as the weekly contest brings in major personalities from Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins to YouTube makeup mogul James Charles to compete for a cash prize in the popular sandbox title. However on October 7, the competition came to a halt when hackers infiltrated the game’s servers. xQc, who was competing in the event, was left stunned as his round was brought to an abrupt end. Minecraft Monday got hacked The two-time Minecraft Monday champion was in the middle of the competition when all of a sudden the floor disappeared and dropped out from beneath him, causing the Canadian to scream “WHAT!?” as he fell to his death. Read More: Streamer hits out at Twitch over Amouranth – The Twitch star stared across the map in shock as he watched all the players falling into the abyss, when someone said “He got rid of the whole f*cking arena, holy sh*t!” into their mic. Minecraft streamer ‘Philza’ got another view of the incident, as his stream captured a wide angle view of the entire arena being slowly deleted. “RIP! I guess we are done,” he exclaimed upon seeing the floor disappear. After he zoomed his camera out to see the extent of the damage done by the hacker, he shouted “oh f*cking hell, dude.

No, it doesn’t matter though!” he stated defensively. It’s not an IP, it’s not a number. It’s a f*king server name!” Users on social media defended the Overwatch pro against people blaming him for the server outage. Twitter user ‘Pikaclicks’ tweeted “Why do people think xQc is the reason Minecraft Monday got hacked? Leaking an IP will do literally nothing. The server got hacked!” Why do people think xQc is the reason minecraft monday got hacked? Leaking an IP will do literally nothing. The server got hacked. If all it took was a simple IP address, public servers like Hypixel would be getting hacked on the daily. — Mr. Clicks (@Pikaclicks) October 7, 2019 Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem confirmed that the server for Minecraft Monday was in fact hacked, and took to Twitter to apologize.

Still investigating what happened. — KEEM :popcorn: (@KEEMSTAR) October 7, 2019 While many were disappointed by the tournament’s cancellation, clips of the insane moment made the rounds online as the hacker destroyed the competition for many Twitch streamers that had been broadcasting the competition for their audience.

xQc rages at ‘degenerate’ donator for calling him French – Dexerto
xQc rages at ‘degenerate’ donator for calling him French Popular Twitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel went into a tirade about the difference between French Canadians and French people from France after being associated with the latter during a stream on September 23. xQc is well-known for his incredible outbursts and eccentric personality. Part of his charm is his French Canadian accent – something that is often misunderstood by a number of people. Not just because he speaks super fast, but because to some, all French people are the same. During a Call of Duty Black Ops campaign playthrough, the former Overwatch League star received a donation suggesting that French people wouldn’t exist at all due to (according to the donator) Prisoner of War camps. 600“Dude, what are you talking about?” Felix questioned. “Yo, listen dude, please. Listen. Listen. You need to have at least a history class and a politics class to get into this topic, okay? If you don’t know shit, shut the fuck up. Shut your dumbass mouth up. What is wrong with you? You got your dates all mixed up.” Clearly wanting to avoid politics, xQc started focusing on the game, but another donation kept the conversation going. In what was a most likely a troll attempt, a donator claimed to be someone named Tanner who used to give Lengyel a tough time at school. The donation message then swerved to the topic of the French surrendering, which seemed obviously unrelated to the French Canadian xQc. “Dude, this French surrender thing… dude, I’m French Canadian, you fucking retard!” the streamer raged. “Eh, I’m a fake French person! I have no dog in that fight!” The triggered French Canadian went on: “I live in America, not Europe. You fucking degenerate.” Then, with perfect timing, one of the characters in the game shouted “that’s right” appearing to agree with xQc. In popular culture, the “France surrenders” meme is fairly common. It stems most notably from World War II when the country was successfully invaded by Germany in part due to the “blitzkrieg” tactic. However, just because xQc is French it doesn’t mean he cares about the history of France. And as the streamer showcased that’s exactly the case. After all, the streamer will be representing Team Canada at the Overwatch World Cup, not team France. In fact, at the 2018 World Cup, xQc led his team to a victory over the French squad.

xQc rages and bans Twitch viewer after they call him “worse than Ninja” – Dexerto
xQc rages and bans Twitch viewer after they call him “worse than Ninja” Popular Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel unloaded on a viewer who came into his broadcast to trash talk him, and had the perfect response to being called “worse than Ninja.” xQc is one of the most followed personalities on Twitch, as many tune in to watch the former Overwatch pro’s explosive rants, and entertaining variety streams. However, when a viewer went into his December 21 broadcast to trash talk him, the streaming star hilariously went nuclear on him, and sent him packing to Mixer. xQc sends trash-talking viewer packing to Mixer During the start of xQc’s stream, a viewer took shots at the personality when he wrote “this guy is worse than Ninja,” which caught the eye of the Canadian star. “Ah, you stupid mother f**ker! Alright then, go see Ninja!” he screamed as he raised both of his arms in the air. He then banned the viewer, as his chat erupted into laughter. The former Overwatch pro gave the trash talking heckler instructions to “click out of the stream” repeatedly, before telling him to go over to Mixer instead. “Click out, dude, and go to f**king Mixer! Make a little account, dude” he said, as he used his fingers to hilariously motion typing on a keyboard. “Load your account with embers and energies, level up, and post a gify gif in the chat dude,” he exclaimed, mocking the Microsoft-owned platform. The Twitch personality then got one last shot in at his detractor, and said, “f**king c*ck lord, the f**k’s wrong with you?” and later called the banned chat user a “degenerate.” Despite being insulted, xQc’s reaction is a good example of why he’s attracted a large following on Twitch, as viewers find his over-the-top explosions entertaining. As of the time of this article, the Canadian has over 1.8 million followers, and consistently pulls in 30,000 live viewers during each of his broadcasts, making him one of the top streamers on the platform.

xQc rages after Dragon Ball Z game crashes at the worst moment possible – Dexerto
xQc rages after Dragon Ball Z game crashes at the worst moment possible Twitch/xQc/Bandai NamcoTwitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel’s power level may have peaked at over 9000 while playing the latest anime game: Dragon Ball Z Kakarot. Lengyel, who was loving the game and watching the anime at the same time, finally reached a portion in the story where main protagonist Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan – a powerful evolved form with iconic blonde hair. Kakarot follows the events of the main Dragon Ball Z anime. Goku’s transformation, which xQc had been waiting to see, occurs after one of the villains Frieza kills the character of Krillin. “What? He made him implode!” xQc gasped as the scene played out. As the character of Goku began to transform into a Super Saiyan, a smile began to emerge on the streamer’s face. “Pogchamp,” he smirked as the ground beneath Goku shook. “Oh sh*t! Finally, dude,” he grinned as Goku leveled up. Unfortunately for xQc, before he could even lay a hand on Frieza with his new power, his game crashed. “Game crashed, fatal error! What the f**k happened?!” the streamer exploded with enough rage to make Broly blush. As a ‘fatal error’ message appeared on stream, Lengyel roared with anger. “Are you kidding me, dude?! Too much power!” he screamed, seemingly implying that Goku had caused the game to break. “Too much power! F**k off.” As it turned out, the Android saga may have begun sooner than expected, because the former Overwatch League pro began blaming “bots” to causing the game to crash. Luckily for the streamer, his last checkpoint wasn’t that far off from when the game froze, so he was able to get back to fighting Frieza in no time. Still, it was quite aggravating for xQc who had been waiting so long to reach that point in the game. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

xQc rages after Overwatch teammate sabotages “paid” meditation session – Dexerto
xQc rages after Overwatch teammate sabotages “paid” meditation session Twitch: xQcOW / YouTube: PsycheTruthTwitch star xQc decided to try his hand at some meditation while he was waiting for an Overwatch match to start, and lost his mind when a rude teammate pulled him out of his zen. We all know the struggle of queuing up for an Overwatch game and having to stand by for what seems like forever for a match to be found, with some Competitive rounds taking up to an hour to load in. xQc wanted to be productive during his wait, and decided to follow a YouTube meditation video to calm the senses and have a good stretch – something that was interrupted by another player. xQc’s meditation interrupted On February 1, the 23-year-old indulged in some yoga between matches, and pulled up a video guide in which he tried to follow along in real life. After one specific game where his team won 3-2, he yelled out “Chat! Two more! ARGHHHH!” while pounding his chest, before he tried to loosen up and prepare for the next one by sitting on the floor and imitating the instructor. The Overwatch pro dived right into the zone, and seemed genuinely relaxed and calm while he performed various poses such as crossing his legs, bending over forwards, and stretching his arms out. A match loaded in quicker than expected, and just as the Canadian reached forward and grabbed his toes in unison with the instructor, a random teammate joined the voice channel and screamed, “WHAT’S UP MOTHERF**KERS?!” As quick as lightning, he scrambled to his feet, rushed back over to his PC, and paused the soothing voice of the yoga video while his Twitch chat went wild. “Motherf**ker, are you kidding, dude?” he asked. “Huh?” the player replied, before the pro hit back with “Do you know how rude that was, what you just did?” After the stranger responded with “yeah,” xQc explained that he wasn’t happy he was rudely interrupted. “Dude, I was just in the middle of a paid meditation session with Jessica!” One lesson to be learned from this is that you should never disrupt the Twitch streamer while his mind’s in the zone and he’s trying to let loose, as he won’t be happy at all. xQc is one of the top personalities on the platform with over two million followers at this time of writing, and constantly entertains his audience with his variety broadcasts – even with yoga.

xQc rage quits Overwatch, explains why it’s “by far the worst” it’s ever been – Dexerto
xQc rage quits Overwatch, explains why it’s “by far the worst” it’s ever been xQc/BlizzardFormer Overwatch pro Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel explained to his chat that the game isn’t fun anymore and the worst it’s ever been. Ever since his addition to the game, Overwatch players have been figuring out how to get the most out of Sigma, the game’s newest hero. As it turns out, running Sigma – who is somewhat of a main tank/off tank hybrid alongside an Orisa, creates a near-impenetrable wall of barriers that DPS heroes have a difficult time shredding through. In fact, as xQc explains, flanking should be the best option, but Sigma can shut down flankers with relative ease. “On most maps you have Team A and Team B and you shield your team for them to push forward,” he said while drawing in MS Paint. “Some DPS can take big risks in order to get a flank to the side, right? And take risk and take daring moves to do damage. But then okay, with no risk at all, Sigma can just shield here,” he added while drawing a new shield off to the side where a flanker would be coming from. Read More: xQc rages at “soy boy cuck lord” OWL teams – “Reshield, reshield, reshield,” the French Canadian Twitch star mouth spammed. “And he can single-handedly shut down any flank from ever occurring. All the time.” Later on, the tank main told his chat that Overwatch is the worst he’s ever seen it. “I can’t play this,” he confessed. “This is just not fun. It’s a piece of shit. And I don’t think I’ve ever hated a meta… this is ‘experience wise’, by far the worst I’ve ever had my hands on.” “I’ve never seen something this unenjoyable. Shooting barriers is extremely unrewarding for the players, it feels like you’re achieving nothing. Having one elim after 20 minutes is not something that we sign up for… so I will stop playing for the day, dude, we’re playing some other game. I’m done with this,” the unusually calm xQc said. The Reinhardt/Winston specialist isn’t the only one annoyed by the strength of double barrier comps. Felix’s former Dallas Fuel teammate Timo ‘Taimou’ Kettunen recently voiced his displeasure with Sigma too. “I love playing against Sigma. I have to ignore and run away from him since I cant do damage to him unless I play doomfist,” he said on Twitter. “In addition to blocking your damage, he can block healing from your teammates if he chases you. Frustrating to say the least,” the Finnish sniper added. Overwatch’s latest PTR patch did nerf the damage done by Sigma’s primary fire, but problems his shield creates were not addressed. Only time will tell if Blizzard decides to tune Sigma further to allow for more counterplay.

xQc rage quits after ‘scummy’ Monopoly game with JakeNBake gets heated – Dexerto
xQc rage quits after ‘scummy’ Monopoly game with JakeNBake gets heated jakenbakelive Twitter / xQc Twitch / UbisoftMonopoly is once again creating a rift among acquaintances after a match with xQc, JakeNBake, and other Twitch streamers got derailed by trickery and cheeky tactics. For decades, the popular board game has been turning living rooms into heated war rooms. Even in the online sphere, the game still has its classic effect of making dualling factions out of game night with Monopoly Plus. JakeNBake, along with other streamers like Mizkif & xQc, were in the trenches of making deals and racking up properties. While everyone has their own tactics to foster and develop throughout a game, the digital version apparently has other facets to screw over other players. There were a few instances of that happening in their game that lasted more than three hours. This ultimately led to players’ rage quitting, awkward banter between those that were left, and more unfortunate effects that can happen from a game of Monopoly. As the game unfolded, JakeNBake was enjoying a developing arc after xQc let a trade go through with streamer ‘Justaminx.’ Apparently, she got the UI colors mixed and accidentally let go of properties she didn’t want to trade – which xQc was all too happy to accept. According to Jake, he was leaning into the “scummy real estate agent” storyline that was developing from that xQc deal. But there’s many narratives that develop throughout a game of Monopoly. About an hour after that, Justaminx went AFK when a bot took over her spot for a little while. That’s when Jake gave the bot a deal they couldn’t refuse, which surprised Justaminx when she got back. This is basically when the drama between Jake, who was loving the ‘toxic’ banter, and xQc was spiraling. Jake was feeding a narrative, while xQc got fed up after seeing a player “bug” the game, as he described it. “Banter is fun but ruining the game for everyone else is kinda weird,” an annoyed xQc said. The game sputtered around the end with people getting bankrupt and, in xQc’s case, leaving early. Jake later said that criticisms about the AI trade were “fair.” For longtime Monopoly players, all of these vibes should feel familiar. While the digital version of the game has different means of exploiting players, this seems like a regular feud that would drum up from the classic board game.

xQc quits Elden Ring Twitch Rivals event as VTuber wins match despite “breaking rules” – Dexerto
xQc quits Elden Ring Twitch Rivals event as VTuber wins match despite “breaking rules” Twitch: xQcPopular Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel quit the Elden Ring Twitch Rivals event after a misunderstanding lead to him losing a match against his opponent who he claims “broke the rules.” xQc is one of the most popular streamers on Twitch. Since beginning his streaming career in 2014, ‘The Juicer’ has amassed close to 11M followers on the Amazon-owned platform. Lengyel has also been at the center of quite a few controversies throughout his time as a streamer. More recently he came under fire from his viewers for accepting a gambling sponsor for his sessions on stream. Now, he’s sparked another controversy during the Elden Ring Twitch Rivals event – as he quit the event early as his opponent was awarded a win despite him claiming they cheated. During the Twitch Rivals event on June 1, xQc used an item before combat that boosted his defense skills. In turn, his opponent, VTuber streamer girl_dm_, called for the admins and claimed that the fight was unfair. As a result, the tournament admins awarded xQc’s opponent a free hit on the 26-year-old streaming star, and once the item effects ended, the fight began once again. However, a misunderstanding between the two caused further confusion. While xQc was expecting the VTuber streamer to get her free hit and back off, she didn’t and proceeded to kill Felix. On the other hand, girl_dm_ was expecting to get her free hit and for xQc to fight back straight after. While xQc called for them to reset, the tournament admin revealed that after further inspection girl_dm_ would win the match as the health discrepancy was too big to where it’s worth doing a rematch. After ranting to his chat for a couple of minutes, xQc saw a screenshot of a staff member, and moderator of the Twitch Rivals channel poking fun at viewers. “‘My streamer broke the rules but still lost. Give him a rematch.’ Chat, yall so silly,” said the moderator. “That’s so ironic, she broke the rules too but only I got punished,” xQc replied. “I’m done dude, get me the f**k out of this. They can take it it’s fine. I don’t give a f**k” Lengyel soon after ALT+F4’d from Elden Ring, and decided to continue the rest of the stream with Minecraft, reaction content, and a bit of gambling at the end.

xQc promises to ban Kick viewers after getting fed up with stream demands – Dexerto
xQc promises to ban Kick viewers after getting fed up with stream demands Kick: xQcStreaming star xQc promised he’d “purge” his demanding Kick viewers after they begged him to do more IRL broadcasts. Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is arguably one of the most prominent live streamers on the internet. First rising to fame on Twitch, xQc signed a lucrative deal with Kick in June, earning a whopping $100 million to stream on the rival platform. Between his channels on Twitch and Kick, xQc boasts over 12 million followers… but some of his viewers are getting a bit demanding when it comes to his IRL streams. xQc says he’ll “purge” demanding Kick viewers as fans beg for IRL streams IRL streams can provide some of the most entertaining content on the internet — but to xQc, they can also bring out some of the worst in his viewers. “The thing is, with IRLs, it’s a lot of fun, but it fosters the very bad part of everything,” he said during a recent Kick stream. “Especially at this scale, it snowballs really bad. At the end of the day, when it’s time to chill out and talk to the community, and do stuff only between us, it’s really f*cking bad.” xQc isn’t wrong; sometimes stream snipers can ruin a creator’s IRL broadcast, and demanding viewers can turn an otherwise fun outing into a miserable experience. To remedy this, xQc claimed he would “purge” his chat of these kinds of viewers if his fans want to see him do more IRL streams. “Alright, you know what? This is what I’m gonna do. We’ll try something. You see people like this?” he said, pointing out one chatter’s comment that read, ‘W gaslight.’ “I’ll just permaban all of them.” “If you want good sh*t and good IRL, the chat is just gonna get purged like crazy,” he continued. “Any absolute dogsh*t people that are like, ‘Oh, do this or do that,’ or, ‘Don’t do this or don’t do that,’ you’re just gonna get permabanned.” It’s clear that xQc has had enough of overly-demanding viewers ruining his IRL streams — but viewers aren’t the only ones who can throw a wrench in an otherwise entertaining IRL broadcast. In fact, plenty of IRL streamers have had harrowing experiences during their streams, such as one creator who was confronted by a man wielding a knife in Paris during TwitchCon.

xQc promises to quit react content if he loses Sidemen Charity Match – Dexerto
xQc promises to quit react content if he loses Sidemen Charity Match Twitch/xQcTwitch star xQc is claiming that he’ll finally stop making reaction content, but only if he loses the upcoming Sidemen charity match. Streaming sensation Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has been confirmed to compete in the 2023 Sidemen Charity Match – and the French Canadian has upped the stakes in a big way. The annual Sidemen Charity Match is one of the biggest events on the YouTube calendar where the biggest names in the influencer space compete in a football game. On August 11, xQc was officially announced for the September 9 competition and made a big wager that could greatly affect his content if his team ends up losing. xQc promises to quit react content if he loses Sidemen match After being revealed, the French Canadian took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to up the ante, stating that he’ll no longer make react content if he loses. Reaction videos have been a big controversy as of late, with many accusing creators of stealing content by uploading where they “react” to YouTube videos. xQc has been front and center of this drama, beefing with H3’s Ethan Klein after debating with him live on air during his podcast. Lengyel, has, however, tried to compromise, even pitching YouTube with a new feature to help avoid unwanted drama when it comes to reaction content – but unfortunately, nothing came of this just yet. We’ll have to see if xQc ends up keeping his word if he ends up losing the game. Until then, keep it locked to Dexerto for all the latest news on the Sidemen and the upcoming football match.

xQc and Pokimane are starting a podcast, and Twitch fans are excited Twitch: xQcOW / PokimaneFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel and Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys have struck gold multiple times with their collaborative efforts. Now, they’re keeping the synergy going with a podcast, teasing the project to fans on Discord. With over 25 million followers between xQc and Pokimane on Twitch and YouTube combined, the two streamers are giants in their field. Collaboration between the two is nothing new, with frequent comments already existing about their shared joy of working with each other. Now, according to comments made by xQc in his Discord, the two have been working together on a podcast set for a “fun trial” in the coming days. “I had two podcasts in mind,” he explained. “The studio for the first one has been getting worked on for months now, [and] if we like [the] format, we’ll use the studio for the [Pokimane-xQc] one.” BREAKING: xQc mentioned in his offline chat before the stream today that he and Pokimane are potentially producing a podcast series together! According to his words, the first “”trial”” episode would be coming out in the next few days, and we’ll keep you up to date on everything! pic.twitter.com/il8dBBq3us — xQcUpdates (@xQcUpdates) April 8, 2022 With xQc making it clear that streaming is not his sole intention for content creation over the past year, the news he is branching out into independent media is no surprise. Announcing in such a low-key format has caught some fans off-guard, but has caused a wave of excitement to ripple through his fanbase. “Yo, they collab so well. This could be really good,” one user said. However, like all things xQc, there was some detractors, with some cautious about the direction the podcast could take. Even with information light on the ground, it is clear from the response on Twitter, and within xQc’s Discord, that fans are excited. Pokimane is yet to make a public comment verifying or denying it’s existence. What the nature of the podcast will be, or just when the release date is to be announced we are still unsure of, but will keep you updated as details arise.

xQc ponders theory Hans Niemann is using an adult toy to cheat at chess – Dexerto
xQc ponders theory Hans Niemann is using an adult toy to cheat at chess Twitch/xQc/STLChessClubTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has responded to the theory that Hans Niemann has been using an adult toy to cheat at chess. Controversy erupted in the chess world this week when Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura suggested Hans Niemann was cheating at the Sinquefield Cup. Carlsen notably dropped out of the tournament following a loss to Niemann, who was using the black pieces – an extreme disadvantage in high-level chess. While Niemann denied rumors of cheating, that didn’t stop people from coming up with theories about how he was cheating with Eric Hansen even suggesting anal beads were somehow involved. This theory soon went viral, resulting in the likes of Elon Musk and even xQc reacting to the suggestion. However, the French Canadian wasn’t exactly too keen on the idea and explained why an adult toy probably wasn’t being used. xQc ponders Niemann adult toy chess theory “People think he’s using [an adult toy] with morse code!” the former OWL pro exclaimed. “How? You think he’s vibrating his moves by contracting his sphincter up and down to communicate what moves he’s doing and receiving?” According to the Twitch star, there was no way he was cheating, because of how painful it would be for something to be buzzing so much for over 1,000 games. “This guy’s ass would be so f**king wide open, man!” he said. “This dude must be absolutely loosened up. There’s no shot!” (segment begins at 9:25 for mobile users) That all being said, Lengyel did go on to say that he believes cheating in chess would be one of the easiest to break the rules in. “If he were cheating though, and I’m just saying, I feel like cheating in chess would be the easier of all games to cheat in,” he explained. “If you’re dedicated enough, even with not that much knowledge you can still find a way to cheat and not get detected.” As the tournament continues and the fallout from the allegations rolls on, it will be very interesting to see how this chess drama unfolds, even with these wild theories making waves.

Pokimane and xQc’s first Minecraft stream together was as hilarious as you’d imagine – Dexerto
Pokimane and xQc’s first Minecraft stream together was as hilarious as you’d imagine Twitch streamers Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel and Imane ‘Pokimane‘ Anys teamed-up for a few hours in a hilarious Minecraft stream that saw them troll each other while getting to grips with the game. It’s not often that fans get to see xQc and Pokimane link-up. The pair have appeared on-stream together, most notably back at TwitchCon in April, and the former Overwatch professional has even tried to help Poki out with some YouTube likes. Yet, they finally got together for a lengthy Minecraft stream, a game that has captured xQc’s interest, on August 4 – and it provided some pretty hilarious moments for themselves and their respective viewers. 600Things got off to an interesting start when the pair had to fend off Zombies and Spiders from attacking their quickly constructed shelter. They seemed to be doing a good job – that was until things took a sour turn. With xQc’s health running low, the pair seemed to stand on top of each other before Poki swung her sword wildly and taking down her partner. The former Overwatch pro was clearly furious, but had to let things go in a bid to save their home. Of course, with this being Minecraft, you’re going to run into some more danger sooner rather than later – usually, in the form of a creeper. Sometimes, things get pretty bad pretty quickly, and constant explosions will ruin your day. That all happened to Pokimane as he screamed for help after running into a creeper. That explosion led her into lava, and she needed some advice from xQc to save hersefl. “You’re dying? He asked. “You need to find water, a water. Anywhere, extinguish yourself. Eat, eat food!” In Poki’s moment of panic, the pair continued to scream at each other before she dodged a bullet and survived with barely any health points left. However, she wouldn’t be so lucky following xQc’s advice just a little bit later. The pair ventured into the Nether, Minecraft’s Hell-like biome, to do battle with some increasingly tougher enemies. Yet, in a bid to try and save themselves, xQc suggested that they break a rule by sleeping in the Nether. Despite Pokimane’s suspicions, they tried to make it work but were left ruing their decision after being killed by the game itself – leaving Lengyel to burst out in laughter. It was those pesky beds which caused more trouble, and provided more laughs, during the pair’s broadcast.As they tried to speed the game up from night to day, they bunkered down in their small home and tried to get some rest. Yet, Poki stole xQc’s spot and he needed to find somewhere else. Instead of wasting any time, he placed another bed down next to her and hopped in – prompting Poki to begin laughing and waving at her stream to not start any childish jokes. It remains to be seen if the pair will link up again for another blast around the massively popular sandbox title, but fans will be hoping for more – especially if they can replicate their hilarious first stream.

xQc pleads with IRL stream sniper’s mom for money to ride Ferris wheel – Dexerto
xQc pleads with IRL stream sniper’s mom for money to ride Ferris wheel Twitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel had an interesting experience at a Christmas-themed fair when he, along with fellow streamers Adept and Reckful, resorted to asking strangers for tokens in order to go on rides. The streaming trio headed towards a Ferris wheel when they were alerted that they needed tokens in order to enjoy the rides. Unfortunately, tokens could only be acquired through physical money – something none of the three broadcasters had on them. After learning about tokens, a random stranger proceeded to give xQc some extras – but not enough for the rest of his group to join him on the Ferris wheel. Eventually, Reckful and xQc decided they could resort to trading things with strangers at the fair for currency or tokens – all because either an ATM wasn’t accessible, its rates were too high or they flat out didn’t want to use one. The holiday shenanigans finally reached their thrilling conclusion when xQc spotted a stream sniper he saw earlier, and ran up to him and his mother. The French Canadian proceeded to tell the young man he would exchange a subscription for cash that he would use to get tokens. Although the viewer agreed to trade with Felix, he unfortunately did not have any money on him, leading to a bit of an awkward situation for a brief moment. “We need four dollars,” the former Overwatch League star said as the viewer walked towards his mother. “This is bad. I feel really bad doing this. I never go outside.” Luckily for xQc and his viewer, the boy’s mother pulled out her wallet to find some change. “Sorry for making you pull out your wallet. It’s very weird,” Felix apologized. A few moments later the viewer’s mother found five dollars and gave it to Lengyel and his friends. “Thank you so much. You saved the stream!” Reckful laughed, which was then echoed by xQc who repeated the praise. As it turns out, being a Twitch celebrity has its benefits in real life when you’re in dire need of cash go on carnival rides.

xQc and Pokelawls hilariously re-enact Alinity’s selfie fail – Dexerto
xQc and Pokelawls hilariously re-enact Alinity’s selfie fail Alinity, xQc – TwitchPopular Twitch streamer Alinity Divine stirred up controversy after taking a selfie during a March 2 broadcast – and the internet still isn’t over the debacle. In fact, Twitch streamers Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel and ‘Pokelawls’ even recreated the divisive instance with a hilarious drawing, nearly two months after the incident went down. The two were in the middle of a game of ‘scribbl.io’ (an interactive, web-based version of Pictionary) when Pokelawls began drawing a picture of a stick figure snapping a selfie of its undercarriage. Although xQc was initially confused by the drawing, he promptly let out a burst of laughter in sudden recognition, correctly guessing the subject as “Alinity.” The story behind Alinity’s selfie Alinity made waves across the Twitch community after taking a selfie during a stream on March 2, later explaining that she was checking for “butt sweat” after realizing her slip-up. Despite the risque nature of Alinity’s selfie, she didn’t receive a ban for the offense, prompting a slew of outrage across the internet. Popular streamer Dimitri ‘Greekgodx’ Antonatos even speculated that Alinity hadn’t been banned due to possibly having dirt on one of Twitch’s executives, later poking fun at the issue by posting a photo of himself dropping his phone on the treadmill, writing, “TWITCH!” Alinity responded to the accusations in kind, writing, “You look great at this angle,” in reply to the Tweet – adding a smiley face for good measure. Alinity’s past controversies on Twitch Of course, Alinity’s NSFW selfie wasn’t her only slip-up that stirred up controversy on the platform; the streamer even showed an accidental “d*ck pic” during a previous broadcast, thanks to an especially malicious user who’d placed the image in her Discord server without warning. Alinity likewise showed private emails between herself and a fan in late November, who claimed to have bought a leopard-print bra from the streamer – leading to an apology from Alinity shortly thereafter. “It’s really f*cking embarrassing,” she said of the matter. “It’s [not] something I would ever do again. He’s sent me a few emails honestly, I’ve just ignored it. I don’t even remember what the bra looked like.” Alinity is one of Twitch’s most popular female streamers, boasting over 842,000 followers on the platform as of May 3.

xQc pitches new YouTube feature to help avoid unwanted drama amid react saga Twitch: xQcAs react-based drama heats up again, xQc has pitched a new YouTube feature to help avoid unwanted controversy, one that would allow content creators to make clear whether or not they want their videos reacted to. Some of the world’s biggest streamers like xQc and Hasan have been under fire recently over their reaction-based content. Other influencers like ‘SomeOrdinaryGamers’ see it as “stealing” other content creators’ videos and re-uploading them. Despite the backlash over the past few days, xQc has remained steadfast in his stance and has even doubled down, claiming that his reactions are beneficial for the content creators as it brings new viewers to the original video. And now, to help creators distinguish between react-friendly content and the opposite, xQc has proposed a feature for YouTube that would help achieve just that. “There’s been a lot of talk about react content and re-uploads of YouTubers content,” xQc said in an August 3 tweet, tagging YouTube. “It would be useful to have a tag or icon show up with an optional timer on videos that creators can enable if they don’t want their videos reacted to.” The proposed feature would, in theory, make it easier for streamers like xQc and Hasan to avoid spats with content creators who don’t consent to having their videos reacted to. Though it is just that for the time being, a proposal. There’s currently no indication YouTube is eager to incorporate a feature of this kind, even with react-based drama bubbling up again. Reactions to xQc’s proposed react feature have been mixed thus far. Minecraft superstar Dream responded to the tweet with a lengthy discussion on why YouTube might not want the feature. After explaining his views on how react videos can be beneficial for content creators, Dream ultimately claimed, “I don’t think the idea of being able to mark your videos as ‘yes reaction’ or ‘no reaction’ will ever happen.” “YouTube might have to then commit to taking action on videos that say no reaction that are reacted to, when plenty of reactions do fall inside fair use. So they’ll never do it.” For the time being, we’ll just have to wait and see if anyone from YouTube acknowledges xQc’s plea for further clarity in regard to react-based content.

xQc reveals he’s planning to host a “Joe Rogan-style” podcast at his house – Dexerto
xQc reveals he’s planning to host a “Joe Rogan-style” podcast at his house Twitter: xQcxQc has admitted he’s entertaining the idea of hosting a “Joe Rogan style” podcast — right in the middle of his streaming room — but has to wait until people can come chat to him “face to face” before he launches the show. Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel isn’t the first name that springs to mind when you think of a podcast host. He’s entertaining and hilarious at the best of times. However, he talks so fast; it can be difficult to understand. But interestingly, he’s admitted he’s got plans to host a “Joe Rogan-style” podcast, once everything cools down. In fact, the wheels were in motion in his new house. Unfortunately, it never came to fruition, mainly due to travel being partially restricted at the moment, but it sounds like it could still be on the cards for the Twitch star in the future, if he can set it all up. “I wanted to have a production room,” he said. “A little bit like the Joe Rogan podcast. I think it’d cool. This room wasn’t supposed to be the streamer room. [It] was supposed to be the podcast room.” He admitted he probably wouldn’t be a “good podcast host,” but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t work. “[I wanted to] invite real people and have them come in physically [and] I could talk to them. Like a legitimate podcast studio or whatever. That was the main plan.” However, the idea is not dead and buried. xQc entertains it from time to time and could have something planned in the future. “It would be kind of cool,” he admitted. [The room is] pretty bland, but I could change it easily. It doesn’t have to be permanent. It [would] only [be] one segment of the stream… every [now and then].” It’s an exciting prospect that’s gotten fans buzzing, but they’ll have to wait and see whether it happens; xQc did admit it was on the backburner. If the idea does end up panning out, it’s likely going to happen once everyone is free to travel around the United States again. A big barried, the Twitch star said, was that he wants to do “one on one” chats, but “face to face” instead of on Zoom calls. Still, it sounds like he wants to do it, and the interest is certainly there from his fans — the only question is, would he be a good host?

xQc parts ways with Sentinels amid rumors of joining new org – Dexerto
xQc parts ways with Sentinels amid rumors of joining new org Blizzard / SentinelsTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has decided to part ways with esports organization Sentinels amid rumors of the former Overwatch professional inking a new deal elsewhere. Boasting over three million followers on the Amazon-owned streaming platform, xQc has rapidly blossomed into one of the most popular personalities on the internet. The former Overwatch League talent rarely misses a day of going live, whether he’s playing the latest games or even just competing in chess tournaments. While he signed to North American esports organization Sentinels in February of 2019, the content creator has now parted ways with the brand. After an 18 month stint with the org that backs Fortnite world champion Kyle ‘Bugha’ Giersdorf, and even xQc’s old Overwatch competitor Jay ‘sinatraa’ Won, the star is now without a team to represent. This timing of this departure comes just weeks after rumors that the streamer would be joining a different organization in the esports industry. The Sentinels have granted a request for release to variety streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel,” an August 26 update reads. This release has come into effect “immediately” so that the Twitch star is able to “pursue new opportunities.” This announcement came alongside a three-minute video that compiled some of xQc’s highlights with the organization. From his on-stream jersey reveal to watching Bugha win esports player of the year, and even a few hilarious fails thrown in for good measure. Sentinels maintain active rosters across Valorant, Fortnite, Apex Legends, and more. They even run an Overwatch League team in the Los Angeles Gladiators. But where does this leave xQc? Only time will tell, though signs point towards the streamer finding a new home right away. As one of the most successful creators on Twitch, countless orgs would inevitably be knocking on his door. However, he may not even have to go through the process of a bidding war as xQc has already been linked to another North American team. Luminosity Gaming recently announced the signings of Harley ‘Mrfreshasian’ Campbell and Elliott ‘Muselk’ Watkins. First mentioned in a since-edited article by The Hollywood Reporter, we may already know xQc is next in line. We hope you enjoyed your stay, @xQc. pic.twitter.com/x3Br48Eto9 — Sentinels (@Sentinels) August 26, 2020 While nothing is yet official, an announcement of xQc’s new home could be imminent. As he looks to pursue new opportunities, it’s unlikely that he remains without a team to represent for too long. At the time of writing, xQc is yet to comment on his departure from Sentinels. We’ll be sure to update this article as new information comes to the surface.

xQc’s PC building stream fails miserably after he forgets essential part – Dexerto
xQc’s PC building stream fails miserably after he forgets essential part xQcOW – Twitch / NeweggTwitch star Felix ‘xQc‘ Lengyel decided to live stream himself putting together his new PC build, with the help of his viewers, but was left red in the face when he discovered he had forgotten one essential part – the power supply unit. Building a PC is one of the best parts about getting one (depending on who you ask), but xQc was effectively robbed of that experience after he forgot the part needed to actually turn the PC on. To be fair, the power supply is usually one of the last things people think about when buying parts for a new PC as the CPU, GPU and motherboard options are near limitless and far more exciting. He dedicated an entire stream to building his PC but found out he was missing the crucial part at the very beginning. “Can you guys tell me what this is,” as he held his CPU up to the chat, before having a worried look come over his face. “Oh shit, I forgot a power supply! Oh my god. Boys, that’s it. That’s it. That’s it boys.” Instead of letting it derail the experience, he went ahead with building the PC without the PSU, deciding he’ll add it in at another time. One thing that did set off alarms for viewers is the fact he was going through the entire building process on the carpet, which is generally best avoided due to the riskk of static electricity. After roughly four hours, the PC was complete, albeit lacking a power supply, and he showed off the finished product to his chat. Having no PSU makes it difficult to troubleshoot if there were any errors with the build so he’ll have to save this for another day. Despite the disastrous start to the stream and PC building experience, xQc was able to salvage it and have a rather entertaining stream in the end. Once his new PSU has arrived and is all set up, he’ll likely share the moment of truth – whether it actually boots – with viewers on his next stream.

xQc panics after leaking Twitter DMs on stream, exposing conversation with Adin Ross – Dexerto
xQc panics after leaking Twitter DMs on stream, exposing conversation with Adin Ross Twitch: xQcDuring a livestream on Twitch, xQc accidentally leaked his private Twitter DMs for all to see, with one particular conversation with Adin Ross raising eyebrows. An average xQc stream generally starts off with him reacting to whatever news is trending at the moment. It’s in this opening portion of the stream where ‘The Juicer’ juices as much content as possible. From reacting to clips of others to chiming in on the latest drama in the space, he’s never one to shy away from headlines. However, it was during the average start to his March 15 stream that xQc accidentally became the focal point instead, having leaked his DMs with Adin Ross, among other famous personalities. The streamer was talking to his chat and reacting to a tweet from Ninja, where he recreated his famous troll face meme image, when he switched tabs to Twitter and his DMs suddenly popped up. He immediately closed the window in a panic, but realized it was too late as his viewers already caught a glimpse of it. In the DMs, you can see his previous messages to many different internet personalities and figures who work with influencers. And one of them was of course Adin. Realizing it was not a good look for him to be conversing with Adin, as he has been embroiled in many controversies of late, xQc scrambled and attempted to justify it to his chat. “I wanted to see if I could get a pendant done” xQc claimed. He said he was reaching out to people who might know someone who could help him, and he decided to message Kai Cenat, Adin, and the rapper Blueface. “Well maybe he can help and point me in the right direction to get a nice thing done,” xQc added. Despite the Adin Ross messages, most of his chat was focused on another message he sent to Twitch streamer Meowri. The message he sent read, “my charisma is pretty much maxed.” He did not elaborate further on that particular conversation. It was quite clear xQc was upset at his DMs getting leaked, banging his table in anger at his mistake, choosing to just move past it as quickly as possible. His chat, meanwhile, could not stop making fun of him, spamming, “my charisma is pretty much maxed” constantly.

xQc gets outplayed by Twitch viewers with perfectly timed donation – Dexerto
xQc gets outplayed by Twitch viewers with perfectly timed donation Former Overwatch pro and popular Twitch streamer xQc isn’t shy about giving it as good as he gets to his viewers, but in the middle of going in on one viewer, a perfectly timed donation got him right back. The right donation in the wrong place can make all the difference in a stream. For xQc, the very end of his ten-hour December 14 stream went very wrong as a result of two donation messages. During his Counter-Strike match, an anonymous $3 donation came in, asking him to complete an impossible task of losing every match at the Overwatch World Cup, before interrupting itself to make fun of Felix for already doing that, and then insulting him some more. A visibly annoyed and insulted xQc wasted little time in firing back at the anonymous donator, questioning what they were doing with their own life while he was competing on stage for the Overwatch World Cup. “So when I was at World Cup, competing and trying to do something with my life, and trying to reach a certain goal, what were you doing that was so important worth highlighting and undermining me? What were you doing?” But as he screamed out the answer to his own question, another viewer chimed in with their own donation that lined up perfectly with xQc’s response. Despite being outplayed by his own fans, even xQc seemed a little amused, chuckling as he asked who did it. His chat was left in hysterics, as LUL spams came pouring in. xQc appeared more annoyed at the first donation, which is reasonable given what happened at the most recent Overwatch World Cup. He and the rest of Team Canada didn’t win any of their group stage series, and only took one map, against the Netherlands. But, at least xQc doesn’t have an empty World Cup cabinet, as Team Canada claimed silver medals in 2017 and bronze in 2018. He also took home MVP honors in 2017, and helped Canada secure the honor of being the second-best national team that year, behind the impossibly dominant South Korean roster. Even so, the tough outing at this year’s World Cup is a rare blemish on what’s been a standout 2019 for him. The former Overwatch League pro saw a meteoric rise on the Twitch platform, as it looks like he’ll end the year with the highest active sub count. Various Twitch tracking sites give different numbers, but they all list him in the range of 30k-35k active subscriptions, and all list him as having the top spot in subs as of now. Even when people are insulting him, they have to pay a minimum of $3 in order for text-to-speech to be utilized, so if you’re going to be roasted like that, at least he’s making some money from it.

xQc outraged after losing $820k due to Dillon Danis “trolling” in Logan Paul fight – Dexerto
xQc outraged after losing $820k due to Dillon Danis “trolling” in Logan Paul fight Twitch: xQc / DAZNStreamer Felix ‘xQc‘ Lengyel is fuming after losing $820,000 on the highly-anticipated Logan Paul vs. Dillon Danis fight due to Danis trolling during the fight. The fight, one of the most highly anticipated boxing fights of the year, ended in controversy after MMA fighter Dillon Danis was disqualified in the final round after attempting a double-leg takedown and a guillotine choke. Danis, who was making his boxing debut, was clearly being outclassed by Logan Paul throughout the fight. But as many fans expected the scorecards to be read in favor of Paul, many were surprised to find that Danis was instead disqualified from the fight due to his antics. And this proved to be a costly outcome for many who had placed a bet on the fight. Following the announcement of the disqualification, popular streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel immediately took to Twitter, sharing his frustration with the fight’s outcome. xQc not only questioned how it ended in disqualification but took aim at Danis for deciding to “troll” during the fight before revealing that he lost $820,000 as a result. Danis’ decision to basically abandon the boxing fight and instead try to grapple with Paul proved to be a horrific outcome for anyone who had specifically placed bets on Logan Paul to win by decision or the fight to end by way of decision. And making matters worse for xQc, it was revealed that Paul had won every round on the scorecards up until that point, meaning that he was clearly just seconds away from winning the fight by decision. It’s unknown exactly how much money xQc wagered on the fight or what result wagered on, but some betting sites had listed Paul to win by decision at +310 odds before the fight. Given these odds, if xQc had placed a $820,000 bet on Paul to win by decision, he would have been just seconds away from yielding a $3,362,000 payout, a potential profit of $2,542,000 That’s a tough loss for the streamer who only earlier this month revealed that he would not be gambling anymore following an incredible $5,000,000 win on an online casino.

xQc opens up about purchasing a new car after “losing” his $350k McLaren – Dexerto
xQc opens up about purchasing a new car after “losing” his $350k McLaren xQcStreaming star xQc has revealed plans to purchase a new car after “losing” his McLaren 720s Spider worth $300k to his ex-girlfriend Adept. xQc is one of the biggest streamers in the world, and his mega-success has allowed him to ball out with some luxurious purchases. Despite not even being able to drive, the 27-year-old is the owner of several high-end vehicles, notably splashing his cash and purchasing a $300k McLaren 720s Spider in 2021, and a brand-new BMW X6M in recent times. However, having been “informally married” in 2020 to his ex-girlfriend Adept, the $300k McLaren was actually registered under her ownership, which is still yet to be returned to him since their separation. While claiming Adept had been using it to ‘manipulate’ him, the situation with his car has become a talking point among his community. Now, with plans to get a new car, xQc has opened up and explained why he won’t be revealing it to his fans when he does. xQc reveals plans to buy a new car In a recent September 16 livestream, one fan asked the Juicer what car he’ll be getting, where he announced he won’t be revealing much. “I’m getting one, but I’m probably not going to share that because I think it makes people upset for some reason,” he said. “When I bought the McLaren way back when it was kind of important for me to just to kind of like have something, right? “Nobody seemed to care that much because they kind of got it. I think this stream grew a lot of in size since then and a lot of people don’t really remember what that time was like.” He continued: “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 like losing the car or whatever, even though it’s not lost, people like poke at me a lot for like losing it.” xQc added: “And now they’re getting made that I’m finding a way out of like of these thoughts and these patterns. Like everybody is caught up in the fact they think it’s a like flex or some sh*t.” While it’s unclear what car he’ll be getting, it appears xQc has an interest in purchasing a Lamborghini.

xQc opens up on mental health struggles and his personal life amid ongoing relationship drama – Dexerto
xQc opens up on mental health struggles and his personal life amid ongoing relationship drama Twitch: xQcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel revealed some behind-the-scenes information about his rise to fame, the problems that arose from it, and what could have led to his split with Adept last year. Longtime viewers of xQc know that being at the top of the streaming world is not all sunshine and rainbows. His status as one of the biggest streamers on Twitch put a target on his back and he still remembers the many swatting incidents he had to endure. During his June 5 stream, xQc hosted a “Q&A with chat”, a nearly 3-hour session of answering the burning questions of his followers and live chatters. Some of the answers included a look into the private life of xQc and what was going on ‘behind the scenes’ during certain years of his career as a streamer and pro player. xQc opens up about his struggles and writing a will At one point, while reading through all of the questions asked, xQc stopped and said that he will share something with his chat that might “give them a lot of answers about a lot of questions you have.” “Imma tell you why this era sucked and how it all began,” said xQc, referencing the latest year or so of his streaming career. “I had a bunch of sleep problems, a bunch of uncertainty,” he explained. “I had a bunch of bad thoughts, things kept happening that were really bad and scary. I felt like I wasn’t going to live very long. My goal was to make some money and leave some money for people around me, before checking out.” “And then I went and I got people to organize everything, get my papers in order and get a will. And then they start asking questions like how much money you have, where you do want it to go. I answered truthfully, one of them was like: what’s your status? Single, you know. If I die my will go to my family.” The Twitch star went on to tell that after that “things went crazy” and that it made him “lose trust in everybody.” Fans quickly speculated that this was a direct reference to the ongoing drama with his former partner, fellow streamer Adept. While xQc did not name anyone involved or highlight specific events, fans were quick to point out that this is likely connected to the fact that Adept took legal action against xQc after they split up. It remains to be seen if he’ll be a bit more open about details after the court trial for his divorce with Adept, as he could be legally not allowed to divulge some information.

xQc weighs in on SleightlyMusical and LilyPichu cheating drama – Dexerto
xQc weighs in on SleightlyMusical and LilyPichu cheating drama Popular Twitch streamer Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has weighed in on the drama surrounding Offline TV member Albert ‘SleightlyMusical’ Chang cheating on his girlfriend Lily ‘LilyPichu’ Ki in his November 12 livestream. xQc has never been one to shy away from drama and controversy, sometimes to his detriment, but it is also a quality that has helped earn him a solid legion of fans and followers. Although his outspoken nature lost him his place on the Overwatch League’s Dallas Fuel, many fans love that he’s not afraid to speak his mind and have an opinion, a change of pace from some of the more ‘family-friendly’ streams you’ll often see dominating the streaming charts. With the recent break up of LilyPichu and SleightlyMusical due to the latter’s infidelity, xQc opted to offer his opinion on the subject, addressing a factor that not many people were looking at. xQc chose to question what the third party in an unfaithful relationship is, whether the person being cheated with should hold responsibility based on a number of factors. “In a relationship, you just don’t [cheat],” He said, Cheating is f**ked up. But what about the person that they cheat with? What about them? Are they guilty?” He went on, “I don’t really have a preconceived idea of what that person is. If they don’t know, they’re not guilty for sure. But, sometimes, they can definitely dig for information and see the signs.” It’s not often you see xQc be the voice of reason, but he raises an interesting point that will likely have fans debating for a while. He also handles it somewhat delicately, not resorting to making jokes and is seemingly sympathetic towards the situation. xQc isn’t the first streamer to weigh in on the controversy, with Asmongold mocking fans who are getting involved in the situation and William ‘Scarra’ Li slamming how other OfflineTV members and the community reacted to the news. Needless to say, this is one of the worst things you can have to face while in the public eye, for all members involved, and they’ll each be looking to find a way to move on from this as quick as possible.

xQc explains why he’s ‘not surprised’ he didn’t win the Streamer of the Year award – Dexerto
xQc explains why he’s ‘not surprised’ he didn’t win the Streamer of the Year award Twitch: xQcFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel admitted he’s ‘not surprised’ he didn’t win the award for Streamer of the Year at The Streamer Awards because he didn’t encourage anyone to vote. Though he insisted it’s not an excuse. xQc and Ludwig both had stellar years in terms of stream content. xQc streamed for more than 3,500 hours with an average of 75,000 viewers per stream, while Ludwig made waves with a record-breaking subathon. It saw both of them receive nominations for the Streamer of the Year award at QTCinderella’s The Streamer Awards along with Sykkuno and Mizkif. Only one candidate could win, however, which ended up being Ludwig. xQc wasn’t surprised about this result, though. “How did this surprise anybody?” he asked on stream the following day. “I’m so confused about how people even acted like I had a chance to win this,” he said. Then, he explained why, claiming the outcome was obvious. After the year he’s had with setting up multiple tournaments, music video cameos, show hosting gigs, the illustrious 31-day extravaganza that was his Subathon and more, the esteemed Streamer of the Year award goes to @LudwigAhgren #TheStreamerAwards presented by @coinbase pic.twitter.com/IHFUVI3xlg— The Streamer Awards (@StreamerAwards) March 13, 2022 The reason is that he didn’t encourage people to vote for him is because he didn’t want it to play out the same way as the time he won the T-Mobile MVP award at the Overwatch World Cup 2017. For context, he claims “everyone got mad” when he won that award because he campaigned for people to vote. This left him feeling like all he got was a hollow piece of metal. Thus, he didn’t want a repeat of that this time around. “When we did [The Streamer Awards] voting for content, I clicked on my own square and immediately turned off the page. I acted like it didn’t exist because I didn’t want to skew the votes to make it a popular vote.” He believes it influenced the outcome, but he wouldn’t want it any other way. “It would have felt like I was using my platform to create a vote, and then I’d win the award that I almost created. That’s kind of lame.” xQc denied claims it’s an excuse for him losing, though. “People can say it’s an excuse or whatever, but it’s not. It’s more about earning awards in places where I can’t manipulate them. It makes them more worthwhile.” He also didn’t want to take anything away from Ludwig. “I’m not saying they asked for votes. They promoted it. Don’t take away from Ludwig’s win. But I barely mentioned it, so their fans were much more aware of it.”

xQc explains why he now believes ‘cancel culture’ is a “good thing” – Dexerto
xQc explains why he now believes ‘cancel culture’ is a “good thing” Twitch: xQcDespite criticizing ‘cancel culture’ in the past, Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel explained why he now believes it’s a “good thing,” claiming it’s a means of holding people accountable for their actions when the legal system fails. xQc is no stranger to being vocal about things, especially when it comes to ‘cancel culture’ – the practice of ostracizing public figures and companies after they have said or done something that is considered offensive. In May 2021, he claimed ‘cancel culture’ isn’t “real” and said: “Isn’t that what you expect from humans? For them to learn from their mistakes? Just because you woke up in a woke culture doesn’t make you better than anyone else.” He mentioned it again in July 2021 and slammed Twitch viewers for “canceling each other” and their favorite streamers. But after watching a video of people discussing whether ‘cancel culture’ is a good thing, xQc revealed that his opinion has changed. He now believes ‘cancel culture’ it’s a good thing overall, and he explained why. “The way it’s being used is: ‘This makes me upset. Therefore, it’s wrong, and therefore, they should not be allowed to talk anymore because I don’t agree with this,’” said xQc. “That’s how people use cancel culture. It’s why it’s bad.” But then he flipped the switch. “You guys might say I’m wrong about this, but overall, cancel culture is a good thing. Sometimes, the legal system will fail. Sometimes, the legal system cannot operate on certain things.” For that reason, he believes it’s “okay” to hold people accountable for their misdemeanors. But only when it’s warranted. Read More: Sykkuno shocked by xQc’s Mario Kart skills – “It’s why sometimes it’s okay to hold somebody accountable and sh*t on them when they do dumb sh*t in public. That’s why canceling them is a good thing. The problem is that not a lot of people actually get canceled.” xQc went on to say that he wishes Twitter wasn’t so “hypocritical” when it comes to canceling people on the platform. It’s in line with what he’s said in the past about Twitter users having “unreasonable” standards and doing what he claims is more harm than good. However, it doesn’t change the fact that he is now convinced that ‘cancel culture’ is ultimately a good thing.

xQc and Myth finally met in real life and it’s as funny as you’d expect Twitch: Myth / xQcOWTwitch stars Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel and Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani finally met each other in real life at TwitchCon 2019, and it was absolutely hilarious. TwitchCon 2019 is the platform’s annual convention for streamers to celebrate all things Twitch, and is held in San Diego from Sep 27 – Sep 29. Popular personalities xQc and Myth ended up meeting in person for the very first time during the event, and their welcome to each other had viewers in stitches. xQc met Myth The Canadian streamer was livestreaming in one of TwitchCon’s event halls actively trying to find Myth, and he even asked a merch employee where he was at. After finding out the location, the 23-year-old suddenly spotted the Fortnite pro and rushed up to him, pretending to be a fan. “Hey! Hey! Can I get a selfie?!” he shouted as he approached his friend, holding his phone out to mimic taking a photograph.

How’s it going?” the 23-year-old asked his friend, as they told each other how nice it was to finally meet in person. “Am I going to see you soon? After party or something?” “I hope so!” Myth replied, before revealing that the two had actually met before… Kind of. “But here’s something I figured out that last TwitchCon, you fucking came up to me! But you were wearing a mask so I didn’t know it was you!” xQc laughed at this, and said admitted he’d seen him even before that. “I saw you before though at another party, months, maybe a year and a half ago. I was outside with some girl. You were looking real prestigious, dude! Could not approach.” Read More: What DMX would look like in Tekken 7 – The Fortnite pro then revealed that he had a video collaboration idea for the pair, hinting that fans might get to see the duo stream together some time in the future. xQc and Myth are currently two of the biggest stars on Twitch, with the Canadian boasting 1.5 million followers and the TSM pro 5.4 million at this time of writing this article.

xQc takes Ninja’s pon pon dance to the next level with back-to-back Victory Royales – Dexerto
xQc takes Ninja’s pon pon dance to the next level with back-to-back Victory Royales Popular Fortnite Battle Royale. What is the Pon Pon? Ninja’s ‘Pon Pon’ dance became famous in the early days of the streamer’s move into the battle royale genre. Blevins would perform the dance in an effort to break up games of H1Z1 and PUBG before taking it with him into Epic Games’ popular title after securing wins. Plenty of other Twitch streamers have tried to replicate his moves, both seriously and mockingly, and now they can add xQc to their ranks after he tried to become like Ninja both inside and out of the game. xQc does the Pon Pon During his April 22 stream, xQc finally secured his first solo Victory Royale after almost 400 games in Fortnite Battle Royale while playing the game’s new ranked arena mode. After receiving requests from subscribers to mimic the ‘Pon Pon’ dance, the streamer finally gave in. However, he would not follow in the footsteps of his fellow Fortnite player, but instead, opted to parody the original routine from the music song. xQc cut his initial Pon Pon attempt short, causing outraged spam from his viewers who demanded that he carry on. However, he promised to complete the full four-minute-long, high energy dance if he scored a second victory royale in a row. Less than 20 minutes later, the streamer was back on his feet and doing his best to follow the full routine after securing a second win in Fortnite Battle Royale. Throughout the dance, xQc tried his best to keep up but could only pull an extremely un-coordinated attempt at the Pon Pon as he attempted, repeatedly, to cut it short. He was left baffled by the song seemingly drawing to a close before starting back up again. “There’s more? How is there more?” roared the streamer before he carried on dancing. Some fans tried to get xQc to go for a third win and Pon Pon in a row but he shut those requests down as quick as possible. “I can’t do this anymore guys,” explained xQc. “This is some hard cringe dude. Listen man, I didn’t really agree with you guys with this ‘normie’ thing but that was the most ‘normie’ thing I’ve ever seen in my life.” While it appears as if the tide is turning for xQc in terms of success in Fortnite, fans probably shouldn’t hold their breath if they want to see him busting some moves again. Instead, it’s probably more likely that they’ll get to see him almost destroy his streaming set-up after being gunned down by a stream sniper.

xQc reveals he’s moving to Los Angeles to work on mysterious new project – Dexerto
xQc reveals he’s moving to Los Angeles to work on mysterious new project Twitch: xQcFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is moving back to Los Angeles, the Twitch star revealed on October 6, with plans to “get out of his shell” after the move and work on several mysterious new projects that will require studio access. xQc is planning a homecoming, of sorts, after admitting on stream that he can no longer stand living where he is at the moment, and wants to return to Los Angeles. The now-retired esports star turned Twitch megastar previously lived in the City of Angels for a time during his Overwatch League career, most notable with Dallas Fuel when they were based in the city. He also had a stint with the Los Angeles Gladiators in 2019, following his return from a league suspension. Now, Lengyel can hear the call of Hollywood once again. This time, however, he has no plans to rejoin the Overwatch pro circuit. He’s sticking to his streaming career, xQc confirms, but wants to get into the mix of Los Angeles stars and personalities that can stream together. “I want to try going to Los Angeles for a little bit, I think that will be pretty good,” he said. “And, if it’s not, it is what it is. Regardless, it will be something.” xQc’s seemingly snap decision to move to Los Angeles is likely a fairly premeditated move with girlfriend Adept, considering they have been dealing with several “scary” situations that even forced Adept to tears on-stream earlier this week. Over the past few months, several stalkers have tried to meet xQc and Adept in person, breaking into their houses and trailing them no matter where they moved. The pair originally relocated to Texas to be closer to several other Twitch streamers, and to take advantage of the state’s high-rate internet, but after one xQc fan invaded their house with a crowbar, they have been couch-surfing and moving around in an attempt to avoid these “crazed” streaming fans. At the time, xQc declared: “Millionaire, by the way, moving house every two weeks. I have to move out again dude. I can’t even go back to my house, it’s not safe.” “I’ve wanted to go back for a while,” xQc continued. “I have this philosophy, that even if you plan to do something and it doesn’t end up panning out [the way that you wanted] at least it’s something. At least we tried something.” The French-Canadian was reminded of that, he says, when teaming up with other star streamers for Shitcamp. He explained, “Maybe I’m in my high school phase, but it just feels like whenever you’re out, you’re at the place where you should be for some reason. I think I forgot how much fun it can be there.” Lengyel also admits he loves the “energy” of Los Angeles. On top of that, the Twitch star has several mysterious new projects he’s working on that will apparently require studios to pull off. Moving to Los Angeles puts him within a stone’s throw of dozens. “Yeah, it’s definitely about making it easier if I want to do stuff, to go to studios and all that sh*t. We can actually do the ideas I’ve been having over the years.” Perhaps the biggest motivator for xQc to move back to Los Angeles — or at the very least, away from where he and Adept are living right now — is “stagnation”. According to the Twitch star, he has been struggling with the feeling of going backward for some time, and wants to re-energize his career. “I’m tired of being stagnant here,” he admitted. “I can’t live with all the restrictions here anymore. I’m so tired of it all. I’m ready now to get out of my shell again.”

xQc reveals multi-million gambling losses on new podcast with Pokimane: “I’m addicted” – Dexerto
xQc reveals multi-million gambling losses on new podcast with Pokimane: “I’m addicted” Twitch: PokimaneImane ‘Pokimane’ Anys and Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel have finally delivered on the podcast the two have been promising, diving deep into topics across their lives. The very first episode saw xQc reveal an unreal gambling loss for the past month as he openly admitted to ‘addiction.’ After a series of missteps, May 1 saw Twitch giants xQc and Pokimane get together on Poki’s stream for a 4-hour long chat. During this conversation, xQc let loose that throughout April he lost a staggering $1.85 million while gambling. Pulling apart recent revelations that Felix has confessed he faces serious issues with his gambling, the duo went in on the gambling meta currently dominating Twitch. Pokimane started with the relatively innocuous question: “Would you have as much fun gambling if you were doing it off-stream as on stream?” Leading xQc to openly reiterate how he views his gambling. “Yeah, I’m addicted… I gamble every day.” After revealing how often he gambles, xQc went on to disclose the full extent of how much he puts at stake. “I lost 1.85 mil last month,” he said. The two went into a back and forth about the ethics of gambling, especially in the public stream sphere. Pokimane directly derided xQc’s choices, arguing: “When you stream yourself gambling, you’re negatively impacting your viewers.” Continuing her train of thought, Poki brought a heavier distinction between gambling and taking money for advertising gambling to viewers. “When it comes to taking gambling sponsorships that’s literally just your viewer’s money.” Making it clear that he wasn’t defending the moral implications of gambling on or off-stream, xQc replied “It’s a bad thing, I’m not against it.” Tossing gambling in with other vices he put forth the idea: “I think you shouldn’t be drinking excessively, and you shouldn’t be taking alcohol sponsors on stream, I think it’s bad. I still do it.” xQc brought his attention to the general ideas of how streamers profit off of their viewers by saying: “It’s like a spectrum of bad. It’s like taking a sponsorship for a game you know is complete asscrack. You know it’s bad but you still do it.” Diving back into the moral stance that Felix has, Poki questioned: “Do you still do gambling sponsorships?.” Clarifying that he doesn’t take sponsorships for gambling, Lengyel replied: “I just gamble off-stream. “I’m on a down streak,” he reminded fans, before closing out the section with his viewpoint on why gambling attracts viewers: “I think people enjoy watching money being de-printed.”

xQc mortified upon remembering he agreed to present at this year’s Streamy Awards – Dexerto
xQc mortified upon remembering he agreed to present at this year’s Streamy Awards Twitch: xQcxQc was left mortified mid-stream after he remembered he agreed to be a presenter at this year’s Streamy Awards, an event he seemingly forgot all about. xQc is quite infamous for dropping out of events he has agreed on. Be it the controversy that brewed in 2022 when he dropped out of Shitcamp 2022, or when he was a no-show at Ludwig’s Chess Boxing event, he no doubt has a history of last-minute shakeups. And with 2023’s long list of streamer events, xQc was bound to be in a few of them, with a notable one being the annual Streamy Awards. xQc was announced on August 22 as a presenter for 2023’s iteration of the award ceremony, of which he completely forgot about. While watching Gamescom during his August 22 stream, it was clear he wasn’t paying attention to the presentation as something on his other monitor confused him. It turns out it was the Streamy Award’s tweet announcing xQc as one of their presenters. “Wait, I’m presenting an award?” he said, showing his stream the tweet, looking mortified while doing so. “Bro, it must’ve been, like, I said yes at like 5AM before going to bed and I forgot.” He went on to ask his chat when the awards ceremony is, of which his chat took the opportunity to troll him by telling him it was in five minutes. Looking perplexed, xQc checked when it actually takes place and was further mortified to learn it was this coming Sunday, August 27. As for if xQc will be making it, he confirmed that he can indeed rock up in time. But anyone aware of xQc’s history with events would know it isn’t exactly concrete until he’s there on stage.

xQc claims he’s received more death threats in April than past six years combined – Dexerto
xQc claims he’s received more death threats in April than past six years combined Twitch: xQcFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel claims he’s received more death threats while participating in the Place social experiment on Reddit than he has in the past six years combined, and he can’t believe it. xQc is one of many streamers who has taken part in the collaborative project and social experiment hosted on Reddit called Place. It began on April Fools’ Day 2017 and was revived again five years later on April Fools’ Day 2022. The experiment revolves around an online canvas that people can edit by changing the color of one pixel. Once they’ve done it, they cannot do it again for a period of time ranging between five and twenty minutes. However, after encouraging his viewers to ‘attack’ the pixels of various communities, including My Little Pony fans, thereby ruining their pixel art in the process, he claimed he’s received more death threats than ever before. “I have gotten more death threats in an hour than I have gotten in the past six years combined from changing pixels from one color to another on a corporate website that makes your f**king lights flash on your monitor,” he said. “Imagine if you took this much care and this much action in your life in other things that mattered like making something of yourself rather than participating in cold, angry violence because some f**king colors changed. That is f**king illness.” It’s obviously not the first time xQc has received death threats. He opened up about it in 2020, claiming he stopped hosting other streamers because viewers often threatened him over accusations it “intoxicated” their chat. However, he insisted the number of death threats he’s received throughout the course of this experiment is greater than ever, and he can’t believe people care enough about mere pixels to dish them out en masse.

xQc mocks Pokimane for not being the “bigger person” amid GreekGodx Twitter drama – Dexerto
xQc mocks Pokimane for not being the “bigger person” amid GreekGodx Twitter drama Twitch: xqcOW / Instagram: PokimanelolHours after Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys revealed that Dimitri ‘GreekGodx’ Antonatos had blocked her on Twitter, Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel chimed and mocked her for airing out the drama on social media. While Pokimane and Greek appeared to be on good terms over the past few years, their friendship is now officially over. Upon learning Greek had her blocked on Twitter, Pokimane shared the news in a since-deleted tweet of her own. “Sadge,” she said on August 23 along with a screenshot of her former friend now blocking her. “Sad to see a friendship end this way but it is what it is,” the popular internet celeb soon followed up. “Please don’t send hate his way.” Although Pokimane swiftly removed the initial post, fans were quick to grab pictures and share it around. Before long, xQc caught wind of the drama and chimed in by mocking how she handled the situation. “No shot, you blocked me on Twitter? I’m going to tweet about it,” the Twitch streamer said, impersonating Pokimane with a hint of sarcasm. “You don’t want to interact with my content? I’ll tweet about it and let people know this is happening because I’m the bigger person.” While hundreds of supporters reached out with their own response to the news, xQc took issue with those directly endorsing her actions. “What the f*** is that,” he yelled upon seeing the deleted tweet. “The fact people are backing up this behavior is insane.” Rather than reflecting poorly on Greek for having Pokimane blocked in the first place, xQc argues it looks worse on her instead. “This will be true now and it will always be true regardless of what you think… when you talk about people being blocked, it says a lot more about you than it says about them. That’s just how it is. You can get mad at me for saying this, but that’s how it works.” There could be some missing context as to why Greek felt inclined to block Pokimane, though she was quick to clarify that he unfollowed her first. We’ll have to wait and see if any further comments slip out from either social media star. Their friendship may be over for the time being, though that’s not to say it’ll never be mended.

xQc mocks “insecure” Andrew Tate for his “anti-chad” takes – Dexerto
xQc mocks “insecure” Andrew Tate for his “anti-chad” takes Twitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has slammed Andrew Tate for his “insecure” and “anti-chad” takes in his widely popular YouTube videos. Former British-American kickboxing star Andrew Tate has been dominating the internet recently. After going on a spree of podcasts, clips of the three-time ISKA World Champion have gone absolutely viral, as he talks about his life experiences. However, many aren’t a fan of his controversial “alpha male” ideologies and pretentious lifestyle. Even Twitch streaming star xQc felt the need to speak out, as he slammed Andrew in a recent live stream. xQc hits out at Andrew Tate During xQc’s July 6 broadcast, the popular streamer began watching YouTuber Philion’s video breaking down why Andrew Tate is the most “pathetic” alpha male. While watching the video, xQc was left puzzled, as the former kickboxer claimed his girls aren’t “allowed out” without him. “I don’t know what b*tch ass dude is letting his chicks going to the club with her friends without him,” said Andrew, prompting xQc to hit out at him. “You know what chat, I’m gonna tell you, I’m going to break the code here chat. I’ll tell you exactly. Someone who isn’t an insecure, weak soy boy. That’s the f**k who. That’s exactly who,” said xQc. “I wish people would comprehend that these days, this is an extreme anti-gigachad take,” he added. “This is a massive anti-gigachad. I don’t know what’s wrong with people these days that they think insecurity is chad. “Guys, I don’t have to look at my partner’s phone, at what they’re doing, where they’ve gone, who they’re going to places with, I don’t have to look.” After speaking out, xQc received a wave of support from his fans in chat as the popular streamer continued to explain that he has no insecurities. “I’m secure, I know what I have, I know what I’m worth and I know it’s not going to slip away. I’m the best fit, and number one.” Ending it off, the juicer shared a few more words to his followers, as he made the point that having self-doubt is the downfall of a relationship.

xQc mocks NICKMERCS fans after ‘MFAM’ stream sniper trolls him in Warzone – Dexerto
xQc mocks NICKMERCS fans after ‘MFAM’ stream sniper trolls him in Warzone Twitch: nickmercs/xqcowTwitch superstar Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel couldn’t help mocking NICKMERCS fans after catching a Warzone opponent with ‘MFAM’ in his name streamsniping. NICKMERCS switched from Warzone to Apex Legends in 2021, but he developed a huge fanbase on Call of Duty’s popular battle royale title. While Nick himself might have switched over from Warzone to Apex, many of his biggest fans are still active on Warzone — and, as it turns out, some might be using their time to streamsnipe xQc. Though the Canadian star is no stranger to stream snipers, he didn’t miss this opportunity to call them out when he noticed their name was an homage to NICKMERCS. After dying immediately after dropping into Caldera, gunned from behind while taking down a different opponent, xQc immediately called that they were streamsniping. He then read their name, ‘MFAM Mercs’, and immediately called out Nick for the actions of his fans. “Hey NICKMERCS, this is your fans, I hope you’re proud my brother,” he said. “These are the people who watch you right now, are you proud? This is what your [community] does, man.” While xQc was obviously saying it all a bit tongue-in-cheek and not actually calling out Nick for his fans streamsniping, he was obviously upset at the stream sniper themselves, even calling them a “SCUF gamer Andy.” The former Overwatch pro has long been one of the biggest victims to stream snipers in multiplayer games, so it must get incredibly frustrating — especially in BR games like Warzone.

xQc mocks esports teams making “sh*t” NFTs to profit from fans – Dexerto
xQc mocks esports teams making “sh*t” NFTs to profit from fans 100 Thieves/Twitch: xQcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has mocked esports teams that are making “sh*t” NFTs to try and make money from their fans. NFTs are becoming ever more popular and no longer belong to just a niche corner of the internet that very few people know about. The most expensive NFTs sell for millions of dollars, and as a result we’ve seen celebrities trying to capitalize on the trend (though Justin Bieber might have missed the mark), and now esports teams such as New York Subliners and 100 Thieves are making their own NFTs. On February 3, esports host Alex ‘Goldenboy’ Mendez wrote a tweet about fans’ complaints, saying that “that’s how a business works” when fans accuse them of only “caring about money” by getting involved with crypto or NFTs. *esports team gets involved with crypto/NFT* Fan: “All you care about is money! L + Ratio” Why yes that’s how a business works… 🤦🏽♂️— Goldenboy 🇵🇷 (@GoldenboyFTW) February 3, 2022 While the responses to Goldenboy’s tweets were mixed, xQc let him know exactly what he thought of esports teams getting involved with NFTs. “[In my opinion] business thinks about making good money but a great business thinks about making a good product, first,” he explained. “The problem is that NFT is a shit fucking product and everyone (fans) agree.” Finishing off with a “L + Ratio,” the Canadian Twitch star made clear exactly how he feels, and thinks it boils down to NFTs in general being a “sh*t f**king product.” (imo) business thinks about making good money but a great business thinks about making a good product, first. The problem is that NFT is a shit fucking product and everyone (fans) agree. +L + ratio — xQc (@xQc) February 4, 2022 One viewer shared his opinion that NFTs uses aren’t far removed from having to pay for a Twitch subscription. “How is offering custom emojis and a badge for a sub different from NFTs?” they asked. Like how is offering custom emojis and a badge for a sub different from nfts? pic.twitter.com/f7LBhRLHwg — camax.eth (@0xcamax) February 4, 2022 While opinions are still very much divided — and the gaming community largely standing against NFTs in the space — it’s hard to see how that school of thought can be rectified. Whether esports teams do find ways to better integrate their fans into the world of NFTs in a way they actually like remains to be seen.

xQc mocks “12-year-olds” in his chat for spamming racist emote – Dexerto
xQc mocks “12-year-olds” in his chat for spamming racist emote xQc, Twitch / South Park StudiosPopular Overwatch pro Felix “xQc” Lengyel is known for his over-the-top reactions during his broadcasts – but antics from his own chat brought out a serious side to the internet star. xQc was in the middle of broadcasting a documentary on August 20 when the narrator referred to an individual by name as “Nick.” This prompted a wave of “CmonBruh” emotes in his chat – an emote initially used to “call out” racist terms on stream. 600However, both the “CmonBruh” and “TriHard” emotes have since taken on a double-meaning, with toxic chat members spamming the images after hearing any sound comparable to a racial slur, or even in response to completely unrelated words as a means to make racist jokes. xQc took notice of this issue and promptly called out those responsible for spamming the emote, giving a sarcastic rant toward the “twelve-year-olds” in his chat. 500“Guys, I think his name is Nick,” xQc said in feigned shock. “Oh my god, guys. Guys, are you twelve years old? Any twelve-year-olds in chat? CmonBruh! I’m twelve too, guys, look!” Lengyel then hunched over his keyboard, jokingly typing out “Cmon Brother” and rubbing his hands together in fiendish delight. xQc wouldn’t be the first major streamer to call out such casual racism, either: popular Twitch personality Hasan “HasanAbi” Piker banned both the CmonBruh and TriHard emotes during a heated stream on May 31, after finally getting fed up by the racist spam. “If I see this fucking emote one more time in my goddamn chat, dude,” Hasan stated. “…You fucking idiots. You absolute fucking morons. God damn it, I hate you so much when you do this shit, chat. I hate it so fucking much, you’re like twelve years old.” Even World of Warcraft streamer “Asmongold” addressed the matter in a broadcast on the same day, openly acknowledging that many chat members use the emotes with racist intentions. “I’m not supposed to have any racism in my channel,” Asmond said of the matter. “…obviously, we can’t let that happen. Sorry to say, but there it is. Let’s not beat around the bush here.” While funny, xQc’s rant marks a pointed statement toward those using the CmonBruh emote in a racist manner, reminding them that such behavior isn’t welcome in his community.

xQc mocks disgraced FaZe Clan members over crypto scam: “They all knew” – Dexerto
xQc mocks disgraced FaZe Clan members over crypto scam: “They all knew” Twitch: xQcow/FaZe ClanNever one to shy away from the controversial topics, top Twitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel mocked the shamed FaZe Clan members involved in the cryptocurrency scam drama during a livestream. On July 1, FaZe Clan announced that they would be removing Kay as well as suspending Jarvis, Teeqo and Nikan from the organization following an alleged pump and dump cryptocurrency scam. Those members and close collaborators Sommer Ray and RiceGum heavily advertised a crypto token called ‘Save the Kids’, paid by the creators to promote it before ‘dumping’ their investments after launch. In a statement made by the organization, they said: “FaZe Clan had absolutely no involvement with our member’s activity in the cryptocurrency space. We strongly condemn their recent behavior.” FaZe Clan has removed Kay, and suspended Jarvis, Nikan, and Teeqo following crypto pump and dump accusations pic.twitter.com/iT3l85ESKK — Dexerto (@Dexerto) July 1, 2021 Obviously, the entire internet has had its say, with top influencers across all platforms letting their thoughts be known on the situation. This includes xQc, who took to mocking the FaZe members while watching Coffeezilla’s in-depth breakdown that exposed the alleged scam. “It’s almost confirmed that they all knew about it,” he said during a July 7 stream. “There’s six of them. You think these guys didn’t go upstairs, make a Hot Pocket and say ‘Yo bruh, I got this offer, I’m getting paid $200k for this weird thing and all I got to do is make a tweet!’ That’s how it works.” xQc isn’t the first to mock or comment on the FaZe Clan situation. HasanAbi also accused FaZe of using the RiceGum vs Adin Ross beef as a cover-up to take the heat off of FaZe Clan in the wake of the scandal. Similarly, Pokimane questioned why rich people such as those involved would still do illegal stuff to make money. None of the dropped or suspended members have publicly commented on the situation yet, but FaZe co-owner Banks explained that it was his decision to take action against them — but that it’s still “up to them” to make a comeback.

xQc making new GTA RP character after controversy over ‘X’ roleplay – Dexerto
xQc making new GTA RP character after controversy over ‘X’ roleplay Twitch: xQcxQc, the most popular streamer on Twitch and the most-watched GTA RP player too, has confirmed that he is creating a totally new character due to the backlash around his existing ‘X’ character. Since NoPixel 3.0 launched earlier in 2021, xQc has been one of the most popular players to watch, but equally, has been involved in the most controversy. From accusations of ‘bad RP’ to bans for supposedly ruining the experience for others, the former Overwatch pro player has had a tricky relationship with the server and its players. On May 4, after another day of RP and related drama, xQc tweeted that he was considering quitting GTA RP outright. “Everyone assumes everything I do is ‘out of character’,” he said. “Cutting clips and making me look bad when I try super hard to roleplay. “I don’t think anyone genuinely likes ‘X’ or the interactions with him. I’ll either make a new character or quite RP tomorrow. Thanks for watching.” Although he hinted at possibly quitting GTA RP totally, it looks like he’s avoiding that drastic step for now. EVERYONE ASSUMES EVERYTHING I DO IS “”OUT OF CHARACTER”

xQc mind blown after blatant cheater beats him in Overwatch – Dexerto
xQc mind blown after blatant cheater beats him in Overwatch Popular Overwatch ruined by a blatant cheater. The former Overwatch League professional has become one of the biggest channels on Twitch since making the full-time switch from playing to streaming. Thousands of viewers, be they subscribers or non-subs, tune in on a daily basis to watch xQc either display those top-level skills in Overwatch or rage at anything else that comes his way. Yet, more often than not, the two things interact and the streamer is left raging at Overwatch and its players. During his June 29 stream, xQc had been playing games of Overwatch when suspicions were raised about one enemy player during his match on Junkertown. The player, playing under the name ‘Man’, seemed to have remarkably good aim with Tracer – leaving xQc to hunt down clips of them in action. Watching through the replay of the game, the streamer worked with his viewers to try and figure out if the player had been cheating or not. “Dude! Ok dude. Stop,” xQc roared, waving his hands in dismay after watching the player eliminate him earlier in the match. Of course, cheating allegations against another player aren’t something to be taken lightly and more than just one clip is needed as evidence. With that in mind, the former Overwatch League pro watched on further before coming to a conclusion. He added: “How is this guy allowed to cheat the entire week? He’s been doing it all week, literally. If this isn’t enough proof I don’t know what will ever be.” However, while he was frustrated by the cheater, xQc didn’t do anything more about it as he left the game and chose not to report the player. The former Dallas Fuel star may not have to wait all that long for the cheater to get their comeuppance, however, as Blizzard has seemingly begun testing a new anti-cheating system in the PTR. It just remains to be seen if the developers can weed out cheaters on a regular basis or if there will be exploits that can get around the new system.

xQc lost over half a million dollars after World Cup betting blunders – Dexerto
xQc lost over half a million dollars after World Cup betting blunders xQc | TwitchxQc put a series of bets on the World Cup, all of which failed in spectacular fashion over the course of the back-and-forth World Cup final between France and Argentina. xQc bet half a million dollars with full confidence that France would win before their game against Argentina in the World Cup got underway. Naturally, he and many other football fans had faith in the team. Though it looked like the game was over with Argentina being up 2-0, Mbappe scored 2 goals and forced the game into overtime. There was hope yet for France to win at the time, and the game went from being one-sided to incredibly close in a matter of minutes. But, by this time, xQc had already given up on France and decided to pull out of his bet in what would be the first in a series of failed attempts to mitigate his losses. xQc loses over half a million betting on World Cup xQc posted a picture on Twitter showing just how much faith he had in France winning, a bet that he pulled out of for the very small payout of $5,000, leaving the streamer down $495,000. But then, after Mbappe scored 2 goals, xQc bet on France again despite already having lost so much money pulling out his bet. He decided to stick with the team he was rooting for in the end, even after pulling out just minutes earlier. This second bet was on France scoring the first goal of overtime rather than the team winning, a bet he also lost after putting down an extra $100,000 dollars. xQc then tried to bet again, though he wasn’t able to get in on the penalty shots before the slip closed. Ultimately, xQc lost almost a million dollars after placing multiple bets on the World Cup. Following Argentina’s win, he had this to say on stream: “That was tough, but it is what it is. S*** happens I guess.” His chat was spamming -$600k after the unfortunate betting incidents, and xQc himself discovered he was down $650k after all his bets for the day had been settled.

xQc lost for words at “out of touch” YouTube Rewind 2020 musical – Dexerto
xQc lost for words at “out of touch” YouTube Rewind 2020 musical YouTube/xQcWith YouTube forgoing the release of their annual YouTube Rewind in 2020, one group of fans decided to make their own version in musical form. As you could imagine, popular Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel wasn’t best impressed. YouTube Rewind is always a divisive video, as the platform looks to celebrate its biggest moments of the year, but fans can be particularly critical of it. It should be no surprise, then, that a fan-made musical version of the Rewind left some people slightly incensed — so much so, that the video actually had to be deleted shortly after it was published on December 12 due to the inclusion of Jenna Marbles’ dramas from this year. Having found a reupload of the original video, xQc decided to have a look at what all the fuss was about, and it didn’t leave a great impression on him, calling the video “out of touch” and saying that it “confused” him. As the actors took to the stage to give their dramatic rendition of all of the major happenings of the year on YouTube, xQc regularly looked somewhat pained at what he was watching, despite being impressed with the choreography and effort that had gone into it. The video even featured a big Among Us scene, with many top creators such as DisguisedToast, Pokimane, and even U.S. politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hunting the imposter. It wasn’t all bad, though. xQc did crack a laugh when Dr Disrespect appeared, singing about that controversial Twitch ban and his move over to YouTube. Finally, after watching through the full 14-minute musical, xQc was at a loss for words for a few moments before finally saying “Wow, that’s… Guys, that was painful,” leaving no questions over how he felt about the video. “I wanted to watch the whole thing because it’s culture,” he told his viewers, who were clearly questioning his decision. “I like seeing people’s take on the culture… but that was pretty out of touch.” He did add, though, that this was a “pretty big effort,” especially if it was removed immediately because of backlash to it. Whether or not the video gets reuploaded remains to be seen, but as xQc says, it’s a lot of effort for a video to then be immediately removed.

xQc lost for words reacting to student’s school project about him – Dexerto
xQc lost for words reacting to student’s school project about him xQc / YouTubePopular streamer xQc has reacted to a presentation that a super fan created about him for a class assignment, explaining why the Twitch star is their “hero”. While he may have made a name for himself streaming video games like League of Legends and Overwatch, Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel also regularly chills out in the Just Chatting section of Twitch, where he talks to fans and reacts to various videos. In a stream on Sunday, April 25, 2021, xQc decided to watch a school presentation that a student had created based around his journey to fame, and his reactions range from embarrassed to supportive to completely baffled. xQc reacts to a school presentation about him Before the video even began, xQc was clearly prepared to cringe, explaining, “I don’t wanna bully people, and I get it… but since it’s about me, even if it was good, or great, or it was like some college project, I would feel the same way about it.” The fan who uploaded the video, called Jason Taylor, was tasked with creating a presentation about a ‘famous hero’ and chose the Twitch streamer as their subject, featuring information about his childhood, his career, and the reasons why he’s a hero. “Felix has the determination, adaptability, and is very inspirational, and in my opinion that makes him a hero,” they explained during the presentation. When a classmate asked if the presentation was sponsored by League of Legends, Jason joked: “No, it’s sponsored by xQc,” to which xQc responded: “What? No, it’s not! What the f**k is this? Guys, what is happening?” The fan then went on to discuss the ‘obstacles’ that xQc had to overcome on his journey, including “wrongful suspensions and bans from multiple games and platforms” such as the Overwatch League and GTA RP. xQc could be seen cringing through the video, describing it as “tough” to watch. But as the presentation progressed, he slowly came around to the idea, praising the information included for being “accurate” and ultimately deciding, “That was sick man, I hope you get an A+”. Later in his stream, xQc read through the YouTube video’s comment section, before leaving his own comment praising: “Well done and well said. Everything in there is true.” We have a feeling he just made this fan’s day, as Jason later reshared xQc’s reaction and called it “amazing”.

xQc loses it after watching banned episode of Pokemon anime: “Oh my fu**ing god” Twitch:xQcxQc has reacted to the now-banned episode of Pokemon that triggered epileptic seizures across Japan, with the content creator visibly concerned and horrified by the clip and its intensity of it. While Pokemon may be one of the most beloved Anime series of all time, the show has still found itself in the middle of controversy over the years. One of the biggest being an old episode of the show that was canceled after the bright lights and colors of one seen were flagged as triggering epilepsy. The episode in question dates all the way back to the first season of the show. In December 1997, an episode of Pokémon aired in Japan, causing tens of thousands of children to reportedly experienced seizures. After this, the episode was banned and the show went on a four-month hiatus as a result. However, Pokemon was able to recover and has now become the phenomenon we know today. xQc reacts to banned Pokemon anime episode In his recent Twitch stream, content creator xQc decided to watch a clip of the infamous episode and give his thoughts and reactions on the moment. The clip just focuses in on his face, however his reactions paint a very clear portrait of what he thinks. xQc immediately recoils from the screen, shouting “omg” multiple times before then shouting “oh my fu**ing god.” The colors can be seen reflected off of his face, with xQc looking shocked and gobsmacked at the moment. After watching, he then takes a moment to compose himself before he then continues with the rest of his stream. “That was insane” he said. However, his reaction proves once again why the episode was banned and just how damaging it could have been and was to young children int eh late 1990s.

xQc loses his mind after “degenerate” dog almost kills him in Minecraft – Dexerto
xQc loses his mind after “degenerate” dog almost kills him in Minecraft Popular Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is known for his moments of rage and hilarious outbursts, and even Minecraft was enough to throw the former Overwatch pro into a frenzy. xQc has experimented with a wide variety of games on his channel in recent weeks, including the Witcher 3, which led to some classic moments thanks to the various cutscenes containing nudity. He also dedicated an entire stream to attempting to build a new custom gaming PC, however, his viewers were quick to roast him after he forgot to purchase a power supply to turn his brand new rig on. Now, he is trying his hand at Minecraft. xQc left Overwatch following a string of controversial incidents. The 23-year-old was adventuring on Minecraft, but was left to rue the decision to take his pet wolf along with him on his travels. After discovering and exploring a sand temple – a hidden structure containing various chests of loot and a whole load of TNT – xQc took care not to trigger an explosion. However, his trusty companion had other ideas. Sand temples contain a high chance of rare items, with the risk of death. Despite not standing on the pressure plate himself, the Canadian didn’t destroy it, meaning his wolf stood on the mechanism instead – causing a massive blast which resulted in his death. xQc couldn’t believe his eyes, labelling his fallen pet a “retard”. He screamed: “Retard! How is he so dumb?! What a f*cking degenerate dog.” Despite his initial moments of rage, xQc’s emotions soon transitioned to sadness, after realizing his pet would no longer by navigating the Minecraft landscape with him. He constructed a small cross to mark the location of his death, setting the mood by playing some sad music on stream to mourn the passing of ‘Sparky’. xQc’s dog’s death isn’t currently the most pressing issue Twitch has regarding animals, as popular streamer Alinity Divine is being investigated by authorities over reports of abuse towards her cat. As xQc’s mishap happened in a virtual world, he shouldn’t be at risk of suffering a similar fate.

xQc loses it after being denied at the last second in custom Squid Game mode – Dexerto
xQc loses it after being denied at the last second in custom Squid Game mode Twitch: xQc / NetflixTwitch powerhouse Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel launched into a trademark rant during his October 30 stream after a fellow player made sure he was hilariously denied success in a custom Squid Game mode. Squid Game has been one of the cultural phenomenons of 2021. The dystopian South Korean series premiered on Netflix to acclaim from both audiences and critics alike, with many comparing it to a darker and more graphic Hunger Games. Since its explosion in popularity, we’ve seen ambitious crossovers of all kinds, with YouTubers seeking to recreate the show IRL and Apex Legends fans conceptualizing Wraith skins inspired by the show’s look. The gaming community has certainly embraced the show, with plenty of custom mini-games emerging to emulate the show’s tension and deadly levels. Playing one of the aforementioned games on stream, the round xQc found himself in was akin to ‘Red Light Green Light’ – a simple round in which players have to sneak up on a large figure who periodically turns to face them. Any players caught moving once the figure has turned are promptly taken out by gunfire. It was generally going well for the former Overwatch pro, who was closing in on the final steps. However, it all went wrong when a fellow player knocked Lengyel’s character as he was about to cross the finishing line, seeing him explode in a bloody blur. The fiery streamer then launched into one of his trademark rants, banning the player in question and stepping away from his setup: “This is f**king cooked. F**k this game, it’s so f**king bad!” His frustrations were not entirely matched by his chat, with many subsequently spamming ‘OMEGALUL’ at the streamer’s misfortune. The emotions on display are why xQc possesses such a fervent reputation, and why so many viewers consistently flock to his streams, regardless of what he’s playing.

xQc loses his cool after being killed by stream snipers in Rainbow Six – Dexerto
xQc loses his cool after being killed by stream snipers in Rainbow Six For popular streamers, there’s nothing more annoying than being targeted by pesky ‘stream snipers’, as Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel discovered. Stream snipers are players in online games who watch the livestream of a well-known player, with the intention of seeking them out in game to either harass, entertain or eliminate them. They are nuisance to streamers, and the more bigger the streamer, the bigger the nuisance. Popular names like Dr DisRespect, Ninja and shroud experience stream snipers almost daily. Typically, when playing more competitive games, like Rainbow 6 Siege for example, streamers would use a delay, meaning that opponents watching their stream can’t simply know their every move in real time. However, xQc had decided to play without a delay – a decision that ultimately cost his team the match after he claims he was being stream sniped the whole time. After his teammate called him out for not using a delay, xQc lost it, responding by saying he had ‘found a solution’ to stream snipers, before making an unbearable noise through his microphone. He also explained that he didn’t feel a stream delay was necessary, given that he was only playing a casual match, but despite the stakes being low, opponents still used his stream for information. Delays, while useful, or even imperative at times, can often cause a disconnect between the streamer and their audience, as the streamer lags behind discussion in the chat. Because xQc is known more for his entertaining personality than his gameplay, this is perhaps why he avoids using a delay when possible.

xQc loses his mind in another classic rant about anime fans – Dexerto
xQc loses his mind in another classic rant about anime fans xQc (Twitch)/FunimationPopular Twitch streamer, Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel, roasted people for watching “internet garbage” anime shows, in another of his infamous on stream rants. Anime has snowballed in popularity in recent times. Stemming from Japanese culture and animation techniques, the genre soon filtered through to Western society. From Pokémon and Dragon Ball Z to the Fullmetal Alchemist series, there is something for everyone… apart from xQc, it seems. While anime seems to tick the boxes for many, the former Overwatch pro has a somewhat divisive stance on the genre of film, TV and animation. After turning his hand to the latest release in the Dragon Ball Z series of games, xQc has been having a hard time acclimating to the game’s mechanics after failing during the tutorial. Despite being overrun by the game’s AI-controlled tutorial, Lengyel persisted to stream his efforts in a bid to entertain his faithful following. After being prompted to watch the anime series, the Canadian responded: “We are not watching it… Why? I care more about memories, nostalgia [and] people’s experience more than you’re stupid sh*t weeb internet garbage, okay?” The Twitch streamer wasn’t done there, as he continued his rant. “People watched this when they were young, on their sofas downstairs with some mac and cheese, with their Dad yelling up top,” xQc exclaimed. Frantically yelling his words, Lengyel continued: “Not in their f**king Mom’s basement, at 29-years-old, with their f**king unwashed neck-beard!” This isn’t the first time xQc has experienced a Dragon Ball-induced rage during a livestream, after the 24-year-old reached his final form during a livestream after his game crashed before he could take-on Frieza in one of the game’s iconic battle sequences. While the Canadian’s rant may have caused uproar among his audience, the large majority of his Twitch chat appeared to agree with his stance — despite being at his wit’s end with all of the requests to watch the anime show.

xQc left stunned after failing Dragon Ball tutorial – Dexerto
xQc left stunned after failing Dragon Ball tutorial Twitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel was left red in the face after failing to complete Dragon Ball FighterZ’s easiest level – the tutorial. Since departing the Overwatch League, xQc has become one of Twitch’s most popular variety streamers – racking up over 1.7 million followers on the livestreaming platform. Tens of thousands of viewers tune in to watch him on a daily basis, with many hoping that he’ll rage at something or, more often, someone. While his fans do show plenty of love throughout his broadcasts, they also love to poke fun at him and his antics — and they received another golden moment, as he fell victim to yet another game tutorial. During his November 29 stream, the former Overwatch professional had been preparing to try his hand at Dragon Ball FighterZ, when he was thrust into the tutorial level to learn the game’s controls. While this should be pretty easy, xQc made a complete meal of learning to block the opponent’s blows – getting stuck in a corner as the game racked up hit after hit on him. “Wait a minute, wait a minute,” he called out, as he tried to figure out what was going wrong. “I can’t move. Can you stop?” the streamer asked, before the game promptly finished him off with a KO. This sparked plenty of laughter and spam from his fans in Twitch chat. While he remained speechless for a few moments, xQc returned to the main menu and tried his hand at the defense tutorial again, claiming that his first attempt was, in fact, “bugged.” Now, it’s not the first time that he’s fallen to a tutorial level, as he had a similar problem with WWE 2K19 – a moment that his fans have reminded him about time and time again. Though their spam this time around didn’t discourage the Canadian from getting back on the horse and trying again, as xQc jumped right back into the Dragon Ball title for a little bit longer.

xQc loses $800k to a server error during gambling stream – Dexerto
xQc loses $800k to a server error during gambling stream After setting the Big Win record for The Wild Machine and winning over $800k, a server error caused xQc to lose his winnings. In June of 2021, the French-Canadian streamer xQc announced he would be quitting gambling on stream. This decision was made after he admitted to having a moderate gambling addiction and that a couple thousand of his viewers used his promo code to start gambling. However, in 2022, xQc would return to gambling on stream losing more money than ever. He called his addiction an “illness” and even revealed his multi-million dollar losses on his podcast with Pokimane. Despite constant criticism and millions of dollars lost, xQc continues to gamble on stream throwing thousands of dollars at virtual slot machines in mere seconds. But the streamer recently lost a major prize due to an Internal Server Error. xQc loses $800k to gambling error Four hours into a gambling session on June 20, 2022, the Juicer was enjoying a slot game called The Wild Machine on Stake.com. After several wins big and small, xQc got the world record Big Win on the machine for $825k. After celebrating, xQc flicked his mouse up to the top left corner of the screen to hit the refresh button and continue playing, but he quickly realized that was a mistake. As the page reloaded, a white screen appeared with the text ‘500 Internal Server Error’. xQc took a moment to process what had just happened before erupting in a fit of rage. “No! What did I do! F**k, I’m so dumb!” xQc exclaimed pulling his hair and flailing his body. He would end his outburst slinking low into his chair and staring at the bright screen for a few moments. Once he came to, the streamer was actually quite optimistic. He stated, “You know what? It saved me. I was gonna go back to Itero and it was gonna go one mil downwards trend without a single hint of a hit.” xQc then hopped over to DayZ where he was accidentally permabanned for killing his stream sniper.

xQc left speechless as Hardcore Minecraft run ends in disaster – Dexerto
xQc left speechless as Hardcore Minecraft run ends in disaster Twitter: xqc / MojangPopular Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel was completely stunned as his Minecraft adventure came to an abrupt end. xQc is one of the most popular streamers on Twitch, widely known for his entertaining variety content, which has recently included everyone’s favorite sandbox game, Minecraft. He was playing the game on Hardcore mode, meaning that after one death all of his progress would be lost. This is a very high-risk mode that makes the game feel more exciting and makes progress that much more rewarding, although all it takes is one mistake to undo hours of work. Such was the case for the Canadian, who saw his character die in an instant and lost all progress during a stream on Feb 25. He ran out of his base after doing some crafting and got into a seemingly simple fight with a zombie. However, he was completely blindsided by a creeper, which came out of nowhere and blew him up, killing his character and wiping out all of his progress. xQc was unusually quiet after this happened and just stared at the screen, stunned. For once, the ex-Overwatch pro was actually sat there speechless as he mourned the death of his Minecraft character. The Canadian didn’t end up saying anything about the matter and simply moved on to watching videos of how he could speedrun the game. As many xQc viewers would know, it was a very different experience as he is always quick to react, and often quite excessively, to major events, but this time he said nothing. However, he later loaded up a save and climbed back into the game, so fans of Minecraft will no doubt see much more of the game on his channel – even after such a huge setback.

xQc left speechless by insane Apex Legends flying glitch – Dexerto
xQc left speechless by insane Apex Legends flying glitch It takes something quite special to leave popular Twitch streamer Félix ‘Apex Legends. The former Overwatch League pro has become a huge name on the streaming platform since making the switch. Fans regularly tune in for his hilarious outbursts which are usually aimed towards them, his friends and his opponents. However, he surprisingly couldn’t come up with any words for witnessing what he believed to be a cheater in Apex Legends – leaving his viewers with another hilarious highlight clip. xQc had already been eliminated from the game but instead of leaving, he stayed in the game to a view an enemy. “I’m pretty sure he’s cheating,” he told his chat before the opposing player bounced off the ground and flew across the map. That left the streamer completely stunned and speechless, as he could only muster up a hilarious gasp while watching on. After a few moments, xQc turned to look towards his camera with the disbelief still written all over his face. However, one of xQc’s teammates chimed in, saying “He just did the glitch!.” When he was finally able to speak again, xQc immediately shouted: “That was crazy! Dude, that was crazy. I know it’s a glitch but that was really well done – that was perfect.” Respawn Entertainment claim to have banned over 16,000 cheaters since the game’s release on February 4, but they have to look into fixing this particular glitch to avoid any potential wrongful cheating bans.

xQc left completely terrified by Roblox’s Squid Game custom mode xQc / NetflixPopular Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel was left terrified after playing Roblox’s mini-games based on the hit Netflix TV show, Squid Game. Released on September 17, Squid Game has risen to the most-watched show on Netflix, and the world is absolutely loving the unique series. Squid Game’s surge in popularity had Roblox mini-game creators jump on the trend, recreating segments from the hit show for players to enjoy in the kid’s game. The most popular mini-game from the show is a childhood classic, red-light green-light. Though, it turns out xQc isn’t exactly good at it, and he was absolutely terrified while playing. Just like the TV show, players are tasked with six different games including childhood classics Red Light Green Light, Marbles, and Tug of War. The goal is to complete all six tasks and win a nice cash prize at the end, but if you fail, you’re shot and eliminated from the game. Exactly resembling what we saw on Netflix. Despite being considered as children’s games, that didn’t stop xQc quite literally jumping out of his seat while playing Red Light Green Light. The look of terror on his face also cemented just how seriously he was taking things. 50,000 people were watching live, and as xQc continuously shouted and gasped while trying to complete the mini-game, it made for a hilarious clip.

xQc bursts out laughing at guy pretending to be NPC to avoid police – Dexerto
xQc bursts out laughing at guy pretending to be NPC to avoid police Twitch: xQcWhile watching a live car chase, streamer xQC burst out laughing when one suspect exited a moving vehicle and pretended to be an NPC to evade police. IRL streams have become an interesting source of entertainment over the years, with popular streamers reacting to live news clips and the like. Police-involved car chases especially tend to draw quite the crowd online, as some chases often devolve into GTA-levels of outrageousness. xQc isn’t immune to hosting such content on his streaming channels. And one recent broadcast saw the content creator react hilariously to a suspect’s behavior during a live police chase. xQc reacts as suspect pretends to be NPC during police pursuit During a recent stream, xQc (via Redditor CloudyEchos) followed an ABC7 story of a suspect trying to evade police in a stolen vehicle. In the clip below, the driver slows down, lets one person out, then continues down the street. The suspect who exits the car jogs to a nearby sidewalk and shoves their hands in their pockets while slowly walking along. It’s a sad attempt at trying to appear like a normal pedestrian. Unsurprisingly, this person’s strange NPC roleplay launched xQc into a fit of laughter as it played out on screen. According to ABC7‘s reporting, the chase took place in the Pico-Union neighborhood in Central Los Angeles on Wednesday night. In addition to the captured NPC roleplayer, at least two other people exited the stolen car during the lengthy pursuit. The driver was eventually apprehended after cops deployed a spike strip that blew out all four tires. Sometimes, it seems the best GTA stunts really do happen IRL.

xQc mocks League of Legends’ Lux players with hilarious impression – Dexerto
xQc mocks League of Legends’ Lux players with hilarious impression Riot Games / xQc TwitchTwitch streamer Félix ‘League of Legends match went wrong, but he zeroed in his frustrations on the game’s popular mage Lux. The former Overwatch pro got off to a great start after choosing to go to the bot lane with Jinx, but the game slowly started to devolve from then on along with xQc’s tempered approach to the chaos that was unfolding. xQc has a famous track history for on the dime rages set off by the games he plays, but this time it seems that his focus of attention was solely on the popular mid lane champ. Lux spelled doom in xQc’s LoL match After about five deaths in, xQc started to feel Lux’s strength when a few key engages were marred by Lux’s shields, binds, and hard-hitting ultimate ability Final Spark. Which is a fitting moniker for the attack, since it set off the streamer’s final nerve that sparked a hysterical tirade on all Lux players. “This is the reason why anybody who plays Lux will never be successful at anything,” xQc said. “Will never amount to anything at all. Anything (Lux players) achieve is irrelevant. And even if they do achieve something, they did not earn it.” A few moments prior, xQc was looking to push back against the invading team when he got caught up in Lux’s bind that was soon followed by a powerful ultimate which took him below 10% health, rendering him useless to the coming attack. It’s not the first time xQc raged in-game With the game too far gone, his team surrendered and the Canadian streamer popped off for a ripping exploration into how Lux’s long-range capabilities give her a ton of rewards without too much risk. The 23-year-old Twitch partner’s parody of the champ was an excellent demonstration of what tilt can do to a person. But it’s not the first time xQc went off the rails. During his CSGO stream, xQc launched a huge rant at his teammate after an impromptu pause to the game set him off. The streamer capped off the tirade with a vicious slam moments later, after dying to a jumping CT, which looked like the last straw for the streamer. Even though his League of Legends games didn’t go as planned, xQc put up a valiant effort even though it was thwarted in part to the pesky mage.

xQc lashes out at Twitch fans expecting him to be a role model: “I’m here to have fun” Twitch: xQcFollowing the backlash over his return to sponsored gambling streams on Twitch, xQc lashed out at fans expecting him to be a role model, telling them to find one elsewhere. On May 17, xQc hosted a sponsored gambling stream on Twitch for the first time since stopping in June 2021.

However, after more backlash started brewing over his decision, he lashed out, reminding fans he isn’t here to be a role model for them, and if they expect that from him, to find one elsewhere. “Every day, it’s a new complaint, a new problem,” said xQc in a post on Discord, pointing to the outrage over him playing an online crane game as an example. Many slammed him for ‘wasting’ money on what they claimed is a scam. As for those who called him out for changing his stance and going from one extreme to another, he said: “I’m not a hypocrite. I literally changed my perspective and voiced that very clearly over the last few months. “I’m not here to be a role model. I’m here to have some fun, so I’ll do it until it becomes boring. Turn the computer off and go speak with your parents and peers if you want a role model for your moral compass.” He also claimed that fans who are “genuinely hurt” by him doing the things he wants to do on stream, regardless of what it is, “probably shouldn’t be watching streams” at all if it affects them on an emotional level. xQc (in offline chat) on gambling. pic.twitter.com/QHTn2tZqTp — xQcUpdates (@xQcUpdates) May 17, 2022 xQc concluded his statement by taking back his apology for gambling on stream in the first place. “I apologized because people led me to believe there was a problem.

xQc laughs at his own MeatCanyon animation: “That’s actually pretty accurate” – Dexerto
xQc laughs at his own MeatCanyon animation: “That’s actually pretty accurate” YouTube: MeatCanyon / YouTube: xQc clipsMeatCanyon’s latest animation, Tragedy Of A Reaction Streamer, features a terrifying depiction of xQc. Now the mega-popular content creator has seen it himself, streaming his reaction. Hunter August Hancock runs the YouTube channel ‘MeatCanyon’ where he frequently posts high-quality animations. He is known for his disturbing art style that amuses, horrifies, and grosses out viewers. Often using pop culture for inspiration, MeatCanyon’s latest video — Tragedy Of A Reaction Streamer — seems to be based on a certain internet star: ‘xQc‘. Now, xQc has seen the animation himself, sharing his reaction during one of his latest live streams. xQc watched, clearly amused, as a goblin-esque version of himself streamed in MeatCanyon’s cartoon. Behind Goblin xQc were three maids, clearly paying homage to his recent bout of embarrassment. The maids were seen breaking into a secret vault that contained piles of gold — and something more sinister. “Well that’s actually pretty accurate,” the real xQc said when he saw his depiction’s hunched form. In the cartoon, the maids grabbed their chosen goods before accidentally dropping a vase. Goblin xQc quickly came chasing after them, sucking out the eyeballs of the two maids he caught and leaving the real xQc both laughing and perhaps, a little traumatized. When the third maid fought back and it was revealed the vases contained eyes, the real xQc started to catch on to what was going on; “Wait is he collecting the views?” At the end of Tragedy Of A Reaction Streamer, xQc said he “really liked it” and called the video “very fun”. Viewers of his reaction praised his sense of “humor” for not being offended by MeatCanyon’s depiction. Check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

xQc lashes out after Kai Cenat accuses him of “skipping” most of Elden Ring’s bosses – Dexerto
xQc lashes out after Kai Cenat accuses him of “skipping” most of Elden Ring’s bosses Bandai Namco / Twitch: Kai Cenat / Twitch: xQcDeep into his Elden Ring stream, Kai Cenat threw some Shade at xQc for “skipping” the game’s tougher boss fights and xQc hasn’t taken it lying down. Kai Cenat is over 120 hours and more than 1,200 deaths into a legendary Elden Ring stream that is sure to go down in history. There have been triumphs and tears as the streamer attempts to become Elden Lord. In one of the most hyped moments of the stream, Cenat won a $100,000 bet against Adin Ross by eliminating a boss in his first encounter with it. Somehow, in the midst of his Elden Ring quest, Cenat has had time to do a little trash-talking. While exploring the Consecrated Snowfield, Kai Cenat accused fellow streamer xQc of avoiding most of the challenges in Elden Ring. xQc was watching along live and was quick to fire back. “xQc skipped every f**king boss in Elden Ring bruh,” Cenat said during his stream. He went on to accuse him of skipping a lot of the game’s side content as well. Clearly incensed, xQc shot back immediately. “He only knows about the bosses because chat told him that,” he responded. “I’m not trying to be aided by chat.” The streamer also suggested that Cenat’s run was less valid because he took advice on builds from his audience. “Both his weapons and everything he has is because chat told him that.” Commenters on the clip weren’t swayed by xQc’s opinions however. “Bro started to stutter hard ’cause he was caught,” one user observed. “X is looking for excuses when he has none,” another replied. At the time of writing, Kai Cenat is doing battle with Elden Ring’s hardest boss Malenia Blade of Miquella with a Rivers of Blood-focused Bleed build. xQc has never fought the boss on stream.

xQc lashes out at creators who don’t like him reacting to their videos – Dexerto
xQc lashes out at creators who don’t like him reacting to their videos Kick/xQcLegendary streamer xQc isn’t concerned about creators who don’t want him to make react content with their videos and put them on blast during a recent Kick broadcast. Twitch and Kick streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has been causing quite a ruckus online in recent months over reaction content, resulting in plenty of skirmishes and debates. Notably, xQc had beef with H3H3’s Ethan Klein when their discussion soon turned south after the French Canadian was called out for “stealing” content from smaller creators. Despite promising to give up reaction content if he lost the Sidemen Charity Match, xQc hasn’t stopped and even lashed out at creators upset with his reactions live on Kick. xQc says he doesn’t care about the work content creators put in As Lengyel watched a video about the hacker group Lizard Squad taking down PlayStation Network and Xbox Live with DDoS attacks in 2014, he responded to concerns about his content. “Sick react? I don’t give a f**k. I don’t give a f**k about none of y’all b*tch ass hoes, f**king react special andys, f**k you!” Lenyel let loose. The Kick streamer continued to slam people who oppose his reaction content and creators who aren’t fans of him watching their videos for his own gain. “I couldn’t give a singular flying rat’s ass about none of that sh*t, any of the work put in, hours, I don’t give a f**k!” he roared before returning to the YouTube video. Only time will tell if something eventually happens to put an end to the react content meta, but for the foreseeable future, it seems like xQc’s mind is made up and he’ll continue on with it. For his part, however, xQc has suggested new YouTube features to give creators more options to prevent their videos from being reacted to, but the platform has yet to implement them in any capacity.

xQc keeps spilling drinks on his keyboard, but isn’t letting that stop him – Dexerto
xQc keeps spilling drinks on his keyboard, but isn’t letting that stop him Professional Overwatch player and Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel can’t stop spilling drinks on his keyboard – but he isn’t letting the mess slow him down. xQc went live on Twitch for a game of Overwatch and got a little too hype after winning a match. He pounded his desk out of joy and ended up knocking over a cup of coffee, which splattered across his desk and on the floor. “There’s coffee everywhere,” he commented, slurping up his spill from the desk’s surface. “Can’t be losing that free juice, dude, hell no.” That didn’t mark the end of his beverage hijinks, either. He ended up doing the same thing a second time after a loss, hitting his desk out of frustration and upsetting his cup. He appeared to be shocked when his drink splattered all over his keyboard due to the motion, but got right back in the game despite potential damage to the hardware. “You have no idea how much [unintelligible] is on my keyboard right now,” he said after letting out a scream. Not having time to grab a napkin, he slurped up the excess beverage from his desktop in the middle of the game, much to his chat’s amusement. xQc is known for his hilarious antics on stream, which often end up with him abusing his keyboard out of frustration or unbridled elation. It looks like his equipment can take both a major beating and water damage, alike.

xQc jokes that he’s the reason for Corpse Husband’s rise to fame: “I made him” YouTube: Corpse Husband, Twitch: xQcFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has laid claim to responsibility for the stratospheric rise to fame from the enigmatic streamer ‘Corpse Husband’ on stream, saying playing Among Us with the star during his breakout year in 2020 was key. To call Corpse Husband’s rise through internet fandom electric might be an understatement. The content creator and musician has amassed a following of millions since breaking out in 2020 — even if it came with immense pressure. However, as they say, it takes a village to raise a child — and Twitch king xQc jokingly believes that’s what led to Corpse’s rise. The juicer baited his chat with the joking claim of being instrumental in the come up of the fellow streamer. Taking a break from his usual high energy antics, xQc spent a solid section of his stream watching a Patrick CC video essay titled ‘The Curious Case of Corpse“, a look into his growth back in 2020. As the video progresses and begins to look into the stats surrounding the sudden rise in searches surrounding Corpse, xQc proudly places himself firmly into Corpse lore. “He played in my [Among Us] lobby, where I literally made him,” he claimed. “You can skip the rest of the video if you want but I’m telling you right now, that’s the truth. I don’t give a sh*t.” Felix’s chat erupted into a choir of agreement, with the streamer cheekily doubling down on his statement: “Yup, I made him, it is what it is.” The video continues by naming Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg as the key to Corpse’s success, pointing to a series of Among Us videos being instrumental in building a fanbase for the deep voice, and the person behind it. But, the juicer and his chat were quick to say Lengyel is the “better Felix” when it comes to helping Corpse boom. There might be a bit more to Corpse’s success, especially given his burgeoning music career, but xQc can at least lay some claim to being there at the very beginning.

xQc just revealed eye-popping gambling total and it’s in the billions – Dexerto
xQc just revealed eye-popping gambling total and it’s in the billions xQc/TwitchPopular streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel just gave fans a glimpse at how much money he has wagered on gambling streams and it’s already in the billions. xQc shook up the streaming scene in June when it was revealed he had secured a deal with Kick worth more than $100 million. The popular streamer’s “mind-boggling” wealth has been a hot topic as of late, especially after returning from TwitchCon in Las Vegas, where he had access to seven different hotels, butlers, cars, and more. A large focus of xQc’s streaming schedule these days is online gambling, in which he’ll play a variety of casino games on Stake, owned by Bijan Tehrani and Ed Craven, who also co-own Kick. But while xQc has been streaming his gambling for years now, there’s one key difference in 2023 — the wager amount. Streamer iqkev highlighted that just two years ago, xQc was streaming $40 casino spins, but now he’s bumped it all the way up to $50,000 for each spin. These incredibly high wagers have led to an absurd amount of money wagered on Stake, as xQc revealed his total wager amount in a recent stream. xQc’s statistics page on Stake shows that he has wagered $2,655,921,982, an increase of more than $1.1 billion since he showed his stats on September 20. And while the streamer has had some huge wins lately, the losses are adding up as he shared that he was down $15 million in November already, leaving many fans baffled as to how he can manage to be wagering so much money. The burning question, however, is who the money even belongs to as fans have called out the use of “fake money” as part of his deal with the gambling site. After NICKMERCS announced his signing with Kick and revealed he’d be doing gambling streams on the Twitch rival recently, xQc attempted to clarify how contracts with both Kick and Stake work and ended up giving a glimpse into his own contract structure. xQc confirmed that he has two separate deals, one with Kick and one with Stake, that are completely independent. “They’re not lumped in. They’re not one. If Stake wasn’t banned on Twitch, I would do it on Twitch,” xQc shared. As for how much xQc’s deal with Stake could be worth, simple math suggests that it’s somewhere around $150-175 million, as xQc revealed that combining the Kick and Stake deals could be worth up to $275 million. “If I chose to put gambling into the contract it probably wouldn’t have been $100 mil. It would probably be more something more like $225 – $250 [million]. That’s just on the low end,” he said. “If I put both together in the contract and had one number for it it would probably be like $275 [million]. But it’s not. Because I didn’t want to do that. I want to keep it separate.” While xQc is clearly burning through money on Stake on a near-daily basis, it’s important to note his association with the platform in a deal that’s likely worth many millions.

xQc joins Luminosity Gaming in lead-up to Rising Stars event Luminosity GamingTwitch variety stream star Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has signed with Luminosity Gaming ahead of the org’s Rising Stars challenge, in which the former Overwatch pro will join the event’s panel of influencer judges. LG already has an army of content creators in its payroll including the likes of LosPollos, Anomaly, ShivFPS, LEGENDALEY, and more. But the team is now going to add one of the biggest streamers on Twitch to bolster its lineup. The last team xQc took part of was the Gladiators’ academy team as a substitute tank before the org disbanded the project after two years in the Overwatch Contenders league. Before that, he had a troubled spell on the Dallas Fuel in 2018 before he took a step back from professional play. But now the 24-year-old Canadian will take part in the LG legacy as a content creator, and will even help usher in the next streaming star for his brand new org. xQc to judge LG’s Rising Stars One of xQc’s first tasks under his new banner will be to help LG sift through 40 contestants in the Rising Stars challenge that welcomes anyone to apply for a chance to win. Streamers made up of the new signee, Muselk, Fresh, RockyNoHands, and a lot more, will decide who gets the $100,000 sponsorship from LG – that is, if they can impress the judges in their live auditions over Twitch. As one of the most lively entertainers on the platform, xQc will be able to pull from a wealth of knowledge on what makes Twitch Chat tic. https://twitter.com/Luminosity/status/1311747100250714113 Whoever is crowned as the next LG Rising Star will get a one-year contract to join xQc and the rest of the content creators on the org’s roster. Before officially announcing the addition, signs of xQc joining LG was widely reported after The Hollywood Reporter passively mentioned him as a part of the team’s content team. But now that he’s fully one the squad, people will be able to look forward to more antics from the boisterous streamer, only this time it’ll be sponsored by one of the most recognized orgs in streaming.

xQc jokes Ninja was “acting” after he ended Twitch stream abruptly – Dexerto
xQc jokes Ninja was “acting” after he ended Twitch stream abruptly Ninja, xQcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel was suspicious of how genuine fellow streamer Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins was when he abruptly ended his broadcast and quit social media altogether. Ninja stunned the streaming world on September 1 when he ended his stream unexpectedly, and quickly disappeared off of social media entirely. The 31-year-old’s Twitch account was also de-partnered by the platform, leaving speculation he could either shift broadcasting platforms over to YouTube Gaming or exit streaming altogether. xQc swiftly pulled up the clip of Ninja rage-quitting off Twitch and found his behavior to be quite strange. xQc says Ninja was “acting weird” after exiting Twitch stream Just hours before Ninja ended his broadcast out of nowhere, he shared a cryptic message that read “big things are coming.” Lengyel was shocked that Ninja quit mid-stream and said, “Dude, imagine you’re coming home from work and you so ‘big things are coming’ and you click, and three hours in he says ‘Guys, I’m done. I’m done streaming.’ Like, what is this?” xQc then watched the clip of Ninja admitting to his audience he can’t stream any longer and ended the live stream. X felt something was up with Ninja, and his viewership claimed Ninja wasn’t being genuine. The 26-year-old streamer said, “I think it’s acting, too. It’s so weird to me.” After letting the clip play out he once again noted, “That’s weird.” As of now, it’s still unclear when or if Ninja will return to streaming on Twitch or any other platform.

xQc is so good at CS:GO that he clutches games without paying attention – Dexerto
xQc is so good at CS:GO that he clutches games without paying attention Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is renowned for his incredible Overwatch talent, but the streamer has shown that he can win Counter-Strike: Global Offensive matches while not even playing the game. The Canadian, who played Overwatch professionally for Dallas Fuel, became a well-known personality on Twitch thanks to his Overwatch streams where he would become incredibly frustrated at the game and its players. Following a ban from the game in November 2018, Lengyel moved into streaming a wider variety of games, including Pokémon: Let’s Go! and legendary first-person-shooter CS:GO. While streaming Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on Thursday, January 24, the Canadian showed off his incredible skill with a little help from his teammates. With his team 11-0 up and cruising to victory, xQc decided it would be a good time to start watching YouTube videos, tabbing away from CS:GO to visit the site. With Lengyel unaware that two enemy players were closing in on him, xQc’s teammate quickly told the streamer to tab back into Counter-Strike. The streamer duly obliged, picking up an M1A1-s rifle that had been lying on the floor and wiping out the two players – immediately returning to the video he was watching. Lengyel has become one of the most popular streamers on Twitch thanks not only to his skill at games, but because of the hilarious moments that take place during his broadcast. While the was Canadian singing on his Thursday stream, xQc’s mom entered the room to bring him some food, but hilariously informed him that she wasn’t a fan of his vocals.

xQc is now enforcing a controversial new rule for his chat – Dexerto
xQc is now enforcing a controversial new rule for his chat Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is now enforcing a new rule in his channel, banning anyone who breaks it – after getting fed up with bad song choices from his viewers. xQc uses a site called ‘Plug DJ’, which allows his viewers to link songs to play next, essentially giving his viewers free reign over what music is played during his streams. However, despite giving his viewers such power, xQc is still picky over what he likes to hear – to the point that if someone links something he isn’t fond of, he will hit them with a ban. This new rule was introduced after a viewer had requested ‘Riptide’ by Vance Joy, a 2013 song which has admittedly been somewhat overplayed since, which xQc called “sleeper (boring) as hell.” “Guys, there’s a new rule, if you link something like this, if you’re on Plug DJ, and you request shit like this, you’re fucking banned,” the former Overwatch pro explained. After skipping Riptide, the next song in the queue played, which equally wasn’t to xQc’s liking, and so instantly exclaimed “also banned.” How exactly his viewers are to know when a song will be to Lengyel’s liking is unclear, but presumable 2013 pop songs aren’t the way to go. With thousands of viewers regularly tuning in, there will likely be a few who missed this rule and face the fate of the ban hammer unknowingly, just for requesting their favorite Vance Joy song.

xQc is open to being goalie at Sidemen Charity Match 2023: “If I commit, I fully commit” – Dexerto
xQc is open to being goalie at Sidemen Charity Match 2023: “If I commit, I fully commit” Twitch: xqcTwitch star xQc says he is interested in playing the Sidemen Charity Match later in 2023, with the content creator stating that he would be willing to ‘fully commit” to the match if he does take part. British YouTube group Sidemen have confirmed that they will be bringing back their annual charity football match for 2023. The group first launched its popular charity event back in 2016 and quickly turned it into an annual festivity in the following years. After a few years off due to the global crisis at the time, The Sidemen Charity match returned in 2022 to immense support and is now confirmed to be back this year as well, though on a bigger stage than ever before. The matches will feature the Sidemen themselves, who team up on Sidemen FC. Their opponents are made up of fellow YouTubers who play under the team name YouTube Allstars. One of the highlights of the event is seeing which popular YouTubers come together to take on the Sidemen crew. In previous years, the likes of DJ Mario, ChrisMD, Noah Beck, MrBeast, and many more have been featured. So far, none of the Allstar players for 2023 have been confirmed just yet. However, there is already much online speculation as to who will feature and play for the team. xQc says he’d be interested in playing in the Sidemen Charity Match 2023 One such content creator who has thrown their name out there as being potentially interested in joining the Allstar team is Twitch streamer xQc. During his latest stream, the influencer reacted to the Sidemen calling him out and asking him to come play as the goalkeeper in the upcoming event. xQc then stated that he would in fact be interested in participating in the Sidemen Charity match in 2023. “Okay. Real sh*t though. If I commit, I fully commit. What are the requirements and when are the dates?” Currently, the Sidemen Charity Match for 2023 is locked in for September 9, 2023. As a result, there’s still a few months in the lead-up and plenty of time for the Allstar team to be confirmed. The 2023 Sidemen Charity Match is set to be held at the London Stadium. This venue is considerably larger than anything we’ve seen in years prior, with 60,000 seats up for grabs.

xQc instantly quits Wordle after the word hits too close to home – Dexerto
xQc instantly quits Wordle after the word hits too close to home xQc/TwitchTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel was left quitting Wordle after realizing that the answer was a bit too close to home for him. New York Times’ daily Wordle puzzle remains one of the most popular games for streamers to play, but one of the recent answers did sit right with xQc. During a December 3 broadcast, the French Canadian was solving the puzzle and after his first two word guesses of Earth and Attic helped him out, his third guess put him in a very awkward position. After typing “Adopt,” all but the O were in the correct position, leaving viewers amused by how close the answer is to the name of xQc’s ex-girlfriend, Adept. In an instant, xQc quit Wordle and proceeded to close his tabs, clearly baffled at the possibility that ‘Adept’ could be the answer. A few moments after closing Wordle, xQc opened it and correctly guessed “adapt,” but the clip was wild enough to have been viewed nearly 200,000 times on Twitch. The nasty breakup between xQc and Adept has been one of the biggest streamer stories of 2023. Adept had claimed that she was married to xQc for three years and technically had ownership of xQc’s McLaren supercar because it was in her name. Furthermore, leaked documents state that Lengyel is prohibited from discussing the topic on stream. For more streaming news, keep it locked to Dexerto.

xQc inks $70 million Kick deal in non-exclusive two-year partnership Twitch: xqcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has just signed a $70,000,000 deal with Kick that will see The Juicer streaming on both Twitch and Kick. On June 16, 2023, fans became convinced that xQc was leaving Twitch for Kick after an account with his name suddenly received a sub button. Now, thanks to a report from New York Times, we know it’s official as The Juicer signed a non-exclusive deal that has him bringing home more than $70 million dollars. The non-exclusive deal will allow xQc to continue streaming on Twitch but officially brings one of the most iconic Twitch streamers over to the budding platform. xQc signs non-exclusive deal with Kick xQc’s agent Ryan Morrison told The New York Times that the contract is worth $70M, but came with incentives that could push the total to about $100,000,000.

I’m extremely excited to take this opportunity and maximize it into new creative and fresh ideas over the coming years.” During his stream, xQc explained how he plans on splitting time between Kick and Twitch. “It’ll probably be like wake up, go live, and stream (on Twitch) then switch over.

xQc in disbelief as Tyler1 shows up in his horror game – Dexerto
xQc in disbelief as Tyler1 shows up in his horror game loltyler1/ xQcOWPopular content creator Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel was stunned after encountering his fellow Twitch streamer Tyler ‘Tyler1’ Steinkamp during a playthrough of the newly released Dreams game. Dreams, which was released by Sony Entertainment on February 14, allows players to create their own worlds and in-game assets for other users to experience. However, while playing through some of the worlds that had been created by the game’s users, or ‘Dream Surfing’, xQc was shocked to recognize a familiar voice during his playthrough. Many of the dream worlds often include challenges and puzzles for the players to complete, however, in xQc’s case, he found himself in what appeared to be a horror-game mode. While he was progressing through the dark and mysterious level, the popular streamer heard a scream coming from the distance and instantly recognized who it was. The sound bite, although it was slightly altered for dramatic effect, was seemingly used from one of the many Tyler1’s stream clips of him screaming, and surprised xQc and his viewers. “Is that Tyler? Holy sh*t!” xQc asked, laughing to himself after picking up on his fellow streamer’s feature during his playthrough of the world. The popular League of Legends streamer’s scream did not seem too far out of place in the horror setting, however, it did break the tension during xQc’s attempt. Unfortunately, Tyler1 was not able to be seen in the user-generated mode, although with the game only recently being released it could be something that players have planned for their future in-game worlds. With the ability to build a world from scratch, it is likely that many more streamers will encounter some hilarious Easter eggs and surprises added by those who develop these modes.

xQc in danger of another Twitch ban after accidentally showing nudity on-stream – Dexerto
xQc in danger of another Twitch ban after accidentally showing nudity on-stream Twitter: xQcFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel could face another Twitch ban after accidentally showing nudity on-stream while watching a video of a man being arrested by the police with his genitals on display. Twitch has a zero-tolerance policy on nudity, regardless of whether it involves the streamers themselves or any media shown on stream. Steven ‘Destiny’ Bonnel learned it the hard way after he was banned for having a guest on his stream show one of the alleged images of Hunter Biden with two women, which involved nudity, even though it happened against his will. Now, xQc could face a similar ban after accidentally showing nudity on-stream while watching a video during his ‘react segment .’ He watches viral videos and other bits and pieces gaining traction on the internet. The video in question involved a man being arrested by the police, presumably for indecent exposure, since his genitals were out in the open. Although it’s been blurred out for censorship’s sake, the video in question can be seen here. xQc hasn’t commented on the situation yet. However, he promptly deleted the VOD, which means that all clips of the incident on Twitch have been taken down. Still, it didn’t stop him from continuing the stream and moving on to GTA RP. Read More: xQc calls out ‘cheating’ in Twitch community – If the existing precedent for most streamers is anything to go by, it seems like yet another Twitch ban could be on the cards for the popular French-Canadian. BREAKING: Today’s VOD has already been deleted because of a minor incident on stream that happened during the react segment. Because of this, we will not be tweeting VOD friends tonight. — xQcUpdates (@xQcUpdates) May 16, 2021 Either way, the mishap is just another road bump for xQc, who is planning to take his stream to the next level by hosting a 60-day subathon. Once he gets the ball rolling, any time lost from this potential ban will seem trivial. Until then, we’ll just have to wait and see what Twitch actually decides. However, it’s fair to say the odds seem stacked against him.

xQc in disbelief after delivery glitch sends him way too much food on stream – Dexerto
xQc in disbelief after delivery glitch sends him way too much food on stream xQcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel accidentally ordered an insane amount of food after an apparent Uber Eats glitch put too much food in his cart, leading to massive confusion. Twitch streamers who broadcast long hours are known to rely heavily on delivery food to get through their days on camera. xQc is one such streamer – often streaming for the majority of his waking hours, and so has become reliant on food delivery apps, to keep him nourished during his 12 hours a day live on Twitch. It also means his meals are often streamed too – so when his latest food order arrived on stream, it was a total disaster. Uber Eats ‘glitch’ delivers too much food to xQc The 26-year-old streamer was live on June 14 when the Uber Eats incident occurred. His brother, Nick, came down the stairs behind xQc with an absolutely ridiculous amount of food in hand. “What the f**k is this?” Nick said, confused. xQc, seeing the mountain of food, responded “What? I didn’t order that. Wait, oh my God…” Felix facepalmed as he checked his phone and realized there was a ‘glitch’ with the Uber Eats app that ended up with him getting enough food for a large family delivered instead. Afterward, he explained to his chat that the “preorder” option on the app stacks up old orders so that when it was clicked multiple times, it ordered him all the food at once. Read More: xQc’s streamer tier list – This resulted in the star Twitch streamer getting enough food to feed an entire family. Whether this was a glitch on the Uber Eats app, or xQc simply adding too much to his cart and not noticing, he and his brother will be eating well for quite some time.

xQc immediately risks ban from Kick by watching The Dark Knight – Dexerto
xQc immediately risks ban from Kick by watching The Dark Knight Twitch/xQcOne of xQc’s first streams on Kick almost went south when a member of Kick’s staff hopped into chat to tell him he was violating the site’s DMCA policy. The reason for the breach? Streaming the entire Dark Knight film as part of a movie night. It might have been something that a smaller streamer on Kick could have gotten away with, but for someone as notable as xQc, it wasn’t going to be long before he got found out. xQc was over an hour into the film when a Kick staffer pinned a message to his chat, explaining that his stream was violating the site’s DMCA policy, a broadcasting regulation that prevents people from getting around copyright law. Kick staff step in to stop xQc getting banned for DMCA breach The message read: “Hello there, we would like to notify you that streaming the specific content is in violation of our DMCA policy. “Therefore, we kindly ask you to stop your live stream and be aware that we will need to remove the current VOD containing this content.” xQc responded by stopping the film, saying: “f*ck, ok, I get it. Ah sh*t, makes sense. VOD friends, ggs.” It’s not surprising that Kick is concerned about what their new biggest streamer is up to on their site. The deal with xQc brought a huge amount of publicity from both the streaming community and the mainstream media, so it’s understandable that they’re keeping an eye on his content. This was one of the first times that xQc went live on Kick after his massive signing with the alternative streaming company, which saw the streamer agree to a two-year non-exclusive deal worth $70 million. For more news and updates on xQc’s move to Kick, check out how many new users the site gained after xQc joined them.

xQc implies historic Kick deal actually nets him “more” than $100 million – Dexerto
xQc implies historic Kick deal actually nets him “more” than $100 million Instagram: xQcxQc has implied that he was actually offered more than $100 million to join streaming platform Kick in his recent historic deal. Earlier in June, 2023, fans took to social media to voice how they believed xQc was leaving Twitch for Kick. His community coming to this conclusion after an account with his name suddenly received a sub-button on the rival streaming platform. Following these rumors, a report from the New York Times revealed that xQc had officially signed a non-exclusive deal that has him bringing home more than $70 million dollars over the next two years at a minimum, with up to $100 million up for grabs. However, it appears the content creator’s deal may actually be worth more than what was first reported. During a recent Twitch stream, xQc discussed his blockbuster deal with Kick. During that broadcast, fellow content creator Pokimane asked him if he was offered any equity from the company when negotiating his new deal. “I got to choose whether I wanted some or not,” admitted xQc. The streamer then expanded on his outlook on Kick. “I saw this as a business. I thought it’d be really cool to have all these strategies on what we could do to make it better. I think it’s fun.” Now, it appears the pot was indeed sweetened beyond what was initially reported, perhaps with some shares in Kick thrown in, as previously teased. When Pokimane again challenged xQc on his deal with Kick during a June 20 stream, xQc seemingly let slip that the initial $100 million was actually bigger than first reported. xQc implies he was offered more than $100 million for his recent Kick deal When Pokimane stated “You’re someone who is getting paid $100 million,” xQc was quick to cut in and clarify “It’s more than that but it doesn’t matter.” xQc seemingly implied that his Kick deal is indeed “more than” the initially reported figure. However, xQc did not go into more details about the deal or reveal just how much he was actually offered. Time will tell if he does come clean with the Kick deal or if he chooses to remain tight-lipped about how much he was offered by Kick.

xQc hysterical after brutal donation message roasts Asmongold & Pokelawls – Dexerto
xQc hysterical after brutal donation message roasts Asmongold & Pokelawls Asmongold, xQc – Twitch / Pokelawls, InstagramIt’s no secret that Overwatch pro and Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lenygel has a dedicated fanbase — but some of these fans aren’t afraid to poke fun at their favorite broadcasters now and then. xQc, like most top streamers, allows fans to send a special message with their donations, giving them a platform to say whatever they like about their broadcast in exchange for their contributions. However, some personalities are prone to talking through these messages, which are often read aloud by a text-to-speech program. Apparently, fellow internet star ‘Pokelawls’ is one of these streamers, as told by a brutal donation message he received during a joint broadcast with xQc on March 12. In fact, the donator was so “upset” by his constant blabbering that they savagely roasted him, commenting on his physical appearance with a few hilarious quips that left xQc in stitches in his own stream. “If you talk over my f**kin’ dono again, I will come to your house and jab my fingers into your f**king lizard eyes,” the message began. “You could legit look both ways crossing the street without moving your head an inch. Salamander-looking a**.” The donator wasn’t done there: they continued with their humorous tirade with even funnier “insults” toward WoW streamer Asmongold, causing xQc to take a breather from his game to focus on what was being said as a smile spread over his face. “And you, Asmond — why the f**k do you sound American?” the message continued. “But you have the most f**king EU teeth I have ever seen. You could eat an apple through a f**king picket fence with those tilted-a** chompers.” xQc found the sentiment so funny that he ended up slapping his desk in response, leaning back in his chair with laughter — although Poke himself didn’t seem to agree with the donator’s sentiments. “That dono burned you guys to a crisp!” he explained. “That’s not even true, my eyes aren’t even that wide apart!” Poke rebutted after xQc read the donation to him. “What the f**k?” Despite all the spam, sometimes, Twitch chat comes through with some hum-zingers — and this was certainly one of them.

xQc horrified after seeing new version of Meowth in Pokemon Félix ‘xQc‘ Lengyel was given the fright of his life after a Galarian Meowth bumped into him in Pokemon’s new Galar Region. Game Freak’s Pokemon Sword and Shield games finally released on November 15, meaning players from the franchise’s online community could flock to a brand new part of the world and explore the latest additions to the Pokedex. Since the game launched, trainers have been spending their time testing out the boatload of new features – including Gigantamaxing abilities for some species, discovering that Galarian Farfetch’d evolves in a very different way, and now xQc has found out that some of the fan-favorites have been given a revamp. It’s fair to say that he was given a bit of a shock, too. The popular Canadian streamer, who is a huge fan of the video game series, decided to give one of the new titles a try during his broadcast on November 15. After sprinting around near some long grass, it was only a matter of time before a Pokemon was going to pounce on the trainer. He said: “Oh my God, shiny Meowth?” As the battle began, he and his Rookidee – which he has renamed Summit1gram – waited to see the wild species appear. “What the f*ck is this? I’m out dude.” Once he caught a glimpse of it, he soon ran away, stunned that it actually wasn’t the shiny version he expected. There are a number of new Galarian forms available for players to find in the new games, too, with several Pokemon from previous generations having adapted to new life in the Galar Region. Mr. Mime, Weezing, Zigzagoon, Yamask, and many others are among the list of revamped characters in the new titles. Some of these are exclusive to just one game, though, with Galarian Ponyta – for example – only available on Pokemon Shield. Check out our full list of differences between Pokemon Sword and Shield for more information.

xQc humps desk and insults opponents mother after unfortunate in-game death – Dexerto
xQc humps desk and insults opponents mother after unfortunate in-game death xQc/Epic GamesPopular Fortnite Battle Royale – turning his rage into some hilariously bizarre highlight clips. In recent days, xQc has been trying his hand at the popular battle royale by taking on the ranked Fortnite Arena mode and even linking up with hugely popular professional player and streamer Turner ‘Tfue’ Tenney. However, this is still xQc and he always has the ability to fly off the handle when things don’t go his way – especially when he is trying extremely hard to become good at the game by streaming and playing almost non-stop. xQc rage humps desk The Canadian’s well-documented rage came back during his April 21 stream. This time, though, it wasn’t because he missed a close-range shot or because he got stream sniped, but instead suffered an elimination and completely lost his mind. Read More: Overwatch player soldiered on for a few more hours, trying his hardest to secure Victory Royales in the ranked arena. However, again, things didn’t go his way. During a late-game moving circle, xQc missed up his build and got caught outside of the zone. With his health already low, the storm chunked him considerably before he suffered another elimination. While his chat burst out laughing at him, xQc slammed his headphones down on his desk and let out a primeval roar. After composing himself for just a moment, he screamed: “I don’t want to play anymore. I edited perfectly – what went wrong?” Despite fully immersing himself into Fortnite Battle Royale, it’s clear that xQc still has some way to go before he’ll become a force to be reckoned with in matches. While some viewers may say he should link back up with someone like Tfue for a few lessons, others will want him to continue to struggle at the game just so they can continue to see him flip out in spectacular fashion. –

xQc hits the jackpot while fishing in Animal Crossing – Dexerto
xQc hits the jackpot while fishing in Animal Crossing xQc/NintendoTwitch personality Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel caught one of Animal Crossing: New Horizon’s largest and most valuable fish on one of his first casts of the day. Like a lot of other streamers and people stuck inside, xQc has been giving New Horizons for the Nintendo Switch a try – and so far, he seems to be enjoying himself. xQc hosted a fishing contest on his first day in the game, and was apparently so impressed with one player’s Ocean Sunfish that he just had to get one for himself. The Ocean Sunfish can only be caught from 4 AM to 9 PM from the months of July-September in New Horizons, so Felix was up before the sun to try and snag one. Despite its massive size, the Sunfish only appears as a medium to large-sized fish shadow, with a fin sticking up when it’s in the water, so xQc had no idea what he was going to catch as he reeled it in. After a few seconds of precision angling, xQc lifted the beast out of the water and marveled at his catch, which completely covered up his character model. “Oh my god, are you kidding me, are you kidding!?” Felix exclaimed. “First try! Ocean Sunfish baby! Oh my god.” The fish is absolutely massive, and would make quite the conversation piece in a tank at your home – but the Ocean Sunfish also sells for a cool 4,000 Bells to Tom Nook if you need a little extra cash. However, xQc decided to donate his trophy to the Museum instead, so he would always be able to remember his ridiculously good luck. “Chat, you can always have money, but you can’t always have memories,” xQc told his chat as he donated his prize. “Goodbye Ocean Sunfish.” After giving his fish a new home, the streamer decided to check out how it was doing with chat in the aquarium before moving on to other tasks. So far, Felix seems to be enjoying himself in New Horizons – probably in part due to his string of incredible luck so far in the game.

xQc hits the jackpot TWICE with ridiculously lucky CS:GO case openings – Dexerto
xQc hits the jackpot TWICE with ridiculously lucky CS:GO case openings CS:GO case openings may seem like a thing of the past on Twitch, but if anyone can bring them back into fashion, it would be popular streamer Felix ‘Overwatch player, has been trying his hand at a variety of games, and despite being unbanned from Overwatch, CS:GO is a recurring title on his stream. CS:GO cases are notoriously difficult to actually win something desirable and valuable from, with odds of less than 1% for some of the rarest items. The real money values of these items can be astronomical though, with an AWP skin once selling for over $61,000. This means that streamers trying their luck with these cases can make for some thrilling content – but also resulted in numerous controversies with misleading (to put it mildly) case openings causing Twitch to crack down on the ever-growing phenomenon. xQc has given it a shot though, and remarkably landed on an extremely rare set of gloves – worth over $200 – on only his second opening. This was lucky enough, but it didn’t stop there. On a hot streak, Lengyel opened another three cases, before hitting the jackpot yet again on his fourth roll of the dice. Unlocking yet another pair of very rare gloves, this time valued at $113, xQc had used up enough luck to last most people several years, and captured it all on stream in front of tens of thousands. The odds for these kind of items are likely in the 0.1 – 0.2% region, so the chances of hitting two in the space of minutes is next to absolute zero – but xQc somehow pulled it off. Typically, the rare items contained in CS:GO cases are various knives, but xQc had opted for special ‘glove’ cases instead which, as the name suggests, have gloves as the rare items. A smart gambler, xQc quit while he was ahead, and stopped opening cases shortly after. The money he will make by selling the gloves is negligible compared to what he likely earns from his massively popular streams, but with this kind of luck, the money is extra sweet.

xQc hits out at “unhinged” fans hating on his new relationship with Fran – Dexerto
xQc hits out at “unhinged” fans hating on his new relationship with Fran xQc/TwitchStreaming star xQc has hit out at some of the “unhinged” hate he gets from fans, especially around his new relationship with Fran – which was uncovered in early June. Over the last couple of years, xQc has had a handful of personal relationships that have made their way onto his stream. His long-time relationship with Adept was a constant source of jokes for viewers as they often tried to deny it – just calling each other roommates. When they broke up, xQc struck up a relationship with fellow streamer Nyxxii, bringing her on-stream a few times. As those two didn’t go great given the stream’s involvement, he tried to keep his newest relationship with Fran pretty private. Though, some fans quickly pried into it to find out that they were dating. Some fans have been critical of the relationship, but a few have taken it to new levels recently, prompting xQc to bite back at the negativity about it. xQc blasts fans hating on his relationship with Fran It kicked off towards the end of his July 3rd stream as fans begged him for a Reddit recap. After scouring the posts on his own subreddit, xQc was pretty vocal in criticizing the comments aimed toward his new partner. “I met her before all this s*it too. It was the same thing with my previous relationship where people don’t remember what it was at the time and then the stream grew and it was ‘we knew it was going to be like this’ and it’s like dude, don’t do that s*it man,” he said. “I just don’t get it. It’s like everything that isn’t a f*cking disaster in my life, everything that isn’t actually f*cking killing me, it’s like you attack the f*ck out of it until I get rid of it. Why? I don’t get it.” The former Overwatch star then highlighted a message from one viewer who said the comments and criticism come with the territory. That xQc vehemently disagreed with. “Bro, you’re so weird, that’s not even true. The level that people go for live content is the worst and people know that s*it,” he replied. “The people know that things get reacted to and things get seen, so it’s much worse here. What are you talking about? “Maybe not in density in terms of how many people total, but the amount of the actual input for a reaction is f*cking unhinged. Like, what the f*ck man? I don’t get it, I don’t know.” xQc didn’t cut his stream short or anything, but he did move things away from his community posts pretty quickly as he was clearly annoyed with how things had gone.

xQc hits out at viewers “malding” over him not going to Shitcamp – Dexerto
xQc hits out at viewers “malding” over him not going to Shitcamp Twitch: xQcTwitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel fired back at fans who were criticizing him for not attending QTCinderella’s Shitcamp 2022. QTCinderella’s first Shitcamp event back in 2021 brought in a wealth of popular streamers from across the community for a few days of various activities and streams. xQc was just one of the big names to take part and admitted he had an absolute blast during the event, even though he did struggle getting his hands on some food. So, it was a surprise to many when xQc announced that he wouldn’t be attending QT’s follow-up Shitcamp event from September 5. But, he’s had enough of viewers urging him to make an appearance. xQc begs fans to “chill out” over Shitcamp absence On September 4, xQc had not long begun his stream when he started to be hit with comments regarding his absence from Shitcamp 2022. He also wasn’t happy about the way fans responded to Sodapoppin also not appearing at the event. “Bro, I’m not going to the event. Why are you being so funny and getting so riled up,” he asked. “What was all that hatred and malding about Soda not going?” xQc urged the “parasocial” viewers to “chill the f**k out and asked why some of the “complaining Andy’s” were reacting so intensely against them two specifically rather than other streamers who also won’t be attending Shitcamp in 2022. Even though he was “in a good mood” at the beginning of his stream, he was shortly flustered, as his heart rate monitor showed, as “complainers” continued to flood his chat. Shitcamp is set to get started on September 5 and last until September 8. Just some of the big names set to take part include Valkyrae, Hasan, and Ludwig. Soda and xQc might not be lending their talents during Shitcamp, but xQc is eager for his fans to stop yet more backlash against him for not attending.

xQc hits out at Twitch “boomers” criticizing his reaction streams – Dexerto
xQc hits out at Twitch “boomers” criticizing his reaction streams Twitch: xQcPopular streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel hit out at the Twitch “boomers” that criticize him streaming reactionary content. From popular reality TV show Masterchef to quirky Daily Dose of the Internet videos, reactionary content has taken over a decent chunk of xQc’s streams recently. Despite the former Overwatch pro still streaming games hours on end every day, the online star has come under fire from his Twitch peers for “lazy reactionary content.” However, he’s hit back at people trying to dictate what is good content and what isn’t. The beginning of xQc’s December 12 Livestream kicked off with a lengthy rant, where he hit out at the Twitch “boomer content purists” that regularly criticize the content that other people stream. “There’s a lot of boomers on Twitch, that have this idea that they’re like content purists,” explained xQc. “They’re like dude, this is content this is not content.” Lengyel continued: “B*tch no one cares. If I enjoy doing something and the community enjoys it, the thought process literally comes at a complete halt right there. It stops, at least for me it stops.” Despite the majority of his latest streams featuring mainly reaction content, xQc is still sitting comfortably in his throne at the top of Twitch. According to Twitch statistic site SullyGnome, xQc has seen his average concurrent Twitch viewers increase a whopping 22% in the last 14 days. The Twitch star is clearly doing something right.

xQc hits out at fans sending “weird” notes illegally to him at his house – Dexerto
xQc hits out at fans sending “weird” notes illegally to him at his house Kick: xQcStreaming star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has hit out at fans sending him “weird” notes on certain deliveries, in some cases, he believes they may well have been “illegal” too. Over the past few years, xQc has had a number of issues with fans tracking him down and coming to his home. He’s also been swatted on occasions too, with police being sent to his house under false pretenses. Fans got a glimpse of that illegal call not too long ago as well. The Canadian has repeatedly told stories about people breaking into different houses as he’s been living there – and in other cases, not living there – which has meant he’s regularly on the move. As such, he’s hit out at the “unhinged” corners of his fanbase that do this to him, but it’s gotten a little scarier now too as they’ve been leaving him “weird” notes. xQc blasts fans sending “weird” & “illegal” notes to his homes The former Overwatch League star brought it up on his July 31 stream, revealing that he’d felt “safe” at his previous home under he started receiving the notes with different deliveries. “It’s insane how many times I’ve got to say this s*it before it actually clicks in. It’s actually f*cking insane. That s*it is f*cking my brain over man,” xQc said. “Even at the other house, it was all fine, and I was getting sent food and s*it with really weird notes on them. I would end the stream and I would feel safe and I would go outside, pick up, and there’s drinks and s*it with really weird notes on them. That’s f*cking weird man.” xQc added that he’d also receive notes after ordering furniture to his home. “I get f*cking notes from inside the packages from corporate companies. That is f*cking illegal! And it happens all the time,” he continued. “It makes me feel unsafe, it’s weird.” He also said that the swattings continued at his old home with regularity, but did not note if they’d extended to his new house. As noted, swatting is illegal, given it’s a waste of police time and some hoaxers have been punished for making the calls.
