xQc hits out at Ice Spice over “weird display of sexuality” in new music video Twitch: xqc / YouTube: Ice SpiceTwitch star xQc had some harsh words for rapper Ice Spice, calling her out for the “weird display of sexuality” seen in her viral ‘Deli’ music video and saying the song was “not it.” Ice Spice has just graced the world with the music video for her song ‘Deli,’ where she and a group of gals twerk it out in a bodega. At the time of writing, the video has been viewed over 2 million times on YouTube in just a single day — and although many fans are loving the rapper’s latest track, not everyone is here for it. Twitch star xQc is one of these fans. The streamer is known for his massive online presence, being one of Twitch’s most-followed broadcasters with over 11 million fans on that platform alone, not to mention the jaw-dropping $100 million deal he scored with Kick in June. xQc says Ice Spice’s song Deli just “isn’t it” Although xQc has made his affinity for Ice Spice very clear — even hopping into the rapper’s DMs to make his affections known — he didn’t seem to like the song, and even visibly frowned while watching the music video. In fact, xQc used ‘Deli’ as an example of his issues with social media, calling the video a “weird display of sexuality” that he’s seen on platforms like TikTok from concerningly young users. It’s also worth noting that Ice Spice’s video has come under fire for featuring a 16-year-old in a production rife with twerking and other sexualized content. “Way back when, I told you guys, weird displays of like, sexuality-slash-nudity on TikTok, is crazy,” xQc said. “Especially the weird sexual stuff or whatever, when it’s literally underaged teenagers.” “…I don’t know. I get it, because it’s a song, okay? I have somewhat of a problem seeing children singing lyrics like, ‘blowing her back,’ and sh*t like that. I’m not trying to virtue signal. I think it’s f*cking weird, man.” That being said, xQc wasn’t a fan of the song in general, and levied a few criticisms about the track later on in his stream, saying Spice’s new release just “isn’t it.” “I’m gonna keep it a buck, chat. The song is two minutes long, and the chorus — the hook — happens like four times. How is that even possible?” he said. “I don’t wanna be overly-negative, chat. I like some of her music, maybe one song. This song, it feels like it has no drive, no energy. It doesn’t go anywhere. It’s not catchy. It doesn’t make you move.” This isn’t the first time xQc has criticized TikTok culture; the streamer also had issues with Kim Kardashian’s daughter, North West, being on TikTok after Kanye West publicly spoke out about the matter.

xQc hits back at “stoners” for criticizing people who don’t smoke – Dexerto
xQc hits back at “stoners” for criticizing people who don’t smoke Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is one of the most opinionated stars of Twitch, and made his position on marijuana very clear during a December 8 stream. While playing Raft, the French Canadian got into the topic of weed with his chat, in particular, he raged at “stoners” who view anyone who doesn’t getting high with contempt. “I don’t want to put all the stoners in the same block, so I’ll same ‘some’,” Felix began his rant with a disclaimer. “Some stoners, for some reason, they can’t just smoke weed. They can’t. They will not allow themselves to just smoke it.” xQc was referencing people who push their views onto others and criticize anyone who refuses to smoke spot. “They have to make everyone feel like they should do it and if they don’t, they’re dumb. And if they don’t want to do it because they’re scared, they’re p*ssies,” the French Canadian went on. “I don’t know why it’s like that. I will never understand why.” In Canada, where xQc is from, weed was legalized on October 17, 2018. However, Felix doesn’t want to have any part of the new tradition. “Just smoke your weed,” he added, talking directly to pushy stoners. “Why do you make people feel bad for not doing it? I don’t understand that.” A few moments later, the former Overwatch League pro explained that everytime he says he doesn’t smoke weed, people would take it as if he was anti-marijuana. “People think that’s an opinion, or like a comment or shade,” he went on. “It’s like saying, ‘oh dude, you don’t suck d*ck? Yikes! Homophobic! Oh my God!’ No.” Basically, according to xQc, just because he doesn’t smoke, he’s not opposed to what others do. Unfortunately, that hasn’t stopped some people from accusing him of being against legalization. For xQc, the only rolling and smoking he does is when he battles opponents in Overwatch or other multiplayer games. Only time will tell if Felix changes his opinion in the new year as 2020 fast approaches.

xQc hits back at critics complaining about him gambling on Kick streams – Dexerto
xQc hits back at critics complaining about him gambling on Kick streams Twitch: xQc/UnsplashStreaming star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel hit out at critics of him deciding to gamble on stream again, claiming they’ve been waiting to “pile on” at the right time. Gambling on stream has long been a hot-button topic within the streaming community, especially given how many big streamers have done it in the past and also been sponsored at the same time. With Twitch increasingly clamping down on gambling content – including casino slots and CSGO skin betting – a few streamers have turned to Kick. The Stake-backed platform was built following Twitch’s first crackdown on gambling streams and allows streamers to broadcast pretty much anything. xQc is the biggest name they’ve been able to get to make the leap so far, and he had stayed away from gambling content until his August 15 stream. The Canadian decided to hit some slots and other games, which sparked backlash from viewers. xQc hits back at backlash over gambling on stream again He brought his stream to a close shortly after that, suggesting some viewers had been waiting to pounce on it given all the criticism he’s faced recently after his relationship with FRAN ended over cheating. “It was just really, not disheartening, disappointing I’d say to see other people like waiting for me to be under fire again to pile on and get bonus points on their maps because they know I don’t have a good standing with the world right now, so they just want to pile on,” xQc said shortly before ending his Kick stream. “It’s just weird to see people and their opportunism. It is what it is though. Like I’ve always said, you don’t need timing when you’re right, you just don’t. If you have something to say and have some criticism with somebody, it doesn’t matter when you say it, you can just f*cking say it. Chiming in is stupid.” As noted, the streaming star has been under fire recently after admitting to cheating on FRAN and for also hanging out with Adin Ross during recent streams in Las Vegas. He’s also been in the center of drama over react content, with YouTubers hitting out at him for watching full videos on stream without links or giving much credit.

xQc responds to GreekGodx after “hateful conduct” Twitch ban: “Get a grip” – Dexerto
xQc responds to GreekGodx after “hateful conduct” Twitch ban: “Get a grip” Twitch: xQcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has responded after fellow streamer Greekgodx was supposedly banned from Twitch for ‘mocking’ an Asian family. Greekgodx received his second Twitch ban in a month on July 28 for “hateful conduct.” However, he later denied any such wrongdoing after a viral clip from his stream surfaced on the internet, allegedly showing him speaking in an exaggerated Asian accent. After explaining that his ban would last for two weeks, Greek revealed that he is in the process of appealing against the suspension. He soon came under fire from xQc who called on him to “stop being a f*cka*s and get a grip” over his comments. “This isn’t you,” xQc tells Greekgodx Following on from his Twitch suspension, Greek claimed: “If I hear a single streamer mock a British accent I’m gonna freak out that is 100% racist from now on.” It comes after the streamer denied accusations that he was being ‘racist’ and claimed the family he was impersonating in the clip were of Greek heritage. xQc took offence with the comment and called on Greek to “get a grip” and “f**k off.” He also, as various streamers have also claimed, accused Greek of playing up to a character saying “we all know this isn’t you.” Soon after, xQc responded to a Twitter user who questioned Twitch’s decision to ban the streamer now, despite Greek allegedly doing the accent for a number of years. “It’s almost like people learn, grow, and improve,” xQc replied to the inquisitive tweet. “Crazy right? The concept of getting better seem to be something you people completely forget exists because you refuse to do so yourself. We used to do x and y […] Move the f**k on.” This isn’t the first time that things between xQc and Greek have kicked off and the dispute over Greek’s ban will likely continue to heat up over the coming weeks.

xQc hits back at MatPat over “lies” and criticism of Twitch streamers – Dexerto
xQc hits back at MatPat over “lies” and criticism of Twitch streamers Twitch: xQcOW / YouTube: The Game TheoristsStreamer xQc responded to MatPat after the YouTuber criticized Twitch and its creators during his latest Game Theory episode. Matthew ‘MatPat’ Patrick took Twitch to task during his February 2022 Game Theory episode when he told the Amazon-owned platform and its streamers such as Pokimane to “grow up.” The YouTuber argued that the site’s react meta and how it handles DMCA claims is “irresponsible.” Popular streamer Felix ‘xQc‘ Lengyel reacted to the video essay during his live broadcast and called out the theorist for spreading “misinformation” and “lies.” The former Overwatch pro claimed that the 32-year-old’s take on Twitch was a “disaster” due to lack of research. xQc hits back at MatPat’s Game Theory on Twitch For his latest Game Theory, MatPat called out Twitch for not regulating its content like YouTube. The theorist claimed that the infamous hot tub and reaction metas were the results of streamers being desperate to fill their contracts which required them to go live for an insane amount of hours. According to xQc, this isn’t accurate. “That’s not even true,” he said. “The Twitch Partner agreement doesn’t have any hours requirement in them. The Twitch Partner or affiliate program does NOT have any required amount of streaming. What are you talking about?” The Twitch star also took issue with MatPat using Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys and Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker as examples of channels being banned for copyright infringement. “Master Chef NEVER got DMCA’d. You can still watch it. Nobody ever got DMCA’d for any of them. The DMCA Hasan got was fake. It was literally fake,” he said. “Disguised Toast did not get banned. That is not true. He wasn’t banned, he wasn’t even suspended. He was put on a two-day cooldown because of a live DMCA. This is literally not true. I’m not malding, correcting misinformation and literal lies is not malding.” When the Game Theory host argued that Twitch needs to look out for its creators like YouTube does, Lengyel exclaimed, “Says a f**king YouTuber. HOLY F**K. What a disingenuous fu**king comparison. I don’t want to shit on the guy, the only problem is, for a guy whose content is theories and research about games, the lack of research in a lot of these Twitch examples was a f**king disaster. Quick research could have disproven more than half of his examples or the claims he made.” The Twitch star told his viewers that he feels many YouTubers have a warped perspective on the Amazon-owned platform. “I think a lot of YouTubers whenever they have takes on Twitch streamers, they are projecting their own survival instincts they have on YouTube with their own content,” he said. “Because with YouTube, if you don’t make enough videos you can fall off and disappear. They are always on edge about disappearing and losing viewers. I don’t have any survival instinct. I watched TV shows because I wanted to, not because I needed to.” Lengyel also took issue with MatPat saying that Twitch should be paying for TV show licenses for streamers to watch””They already have that, it’s Amazon Prime. It’s not very refined. It’s not worldwide. It shows the future though and we will get there. MatPat doesn’t understand that we already have this and it sucks! In certain regions, it’s blocked, and that alienates a portion of your live viewers.” Although xQc had major issues with the episode, he still called it a “good” watch and told his fans that he didn’t want to be too harsh on the popular theorist, though he believes that most of the argument gets the streaming platform wrong.

xQc hits back at Nadia’s defense of Pokimane amid cookie price backlash – Dexerto
xQc hits back at Nadia’s defense of Pokimane amid cookie price backlash Instagram/Pokimane/Twitch/xQc/NadiaKick star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel weighed in on Twitch streamer Pokimane’s ongoing cookie fiasco by taking aim at Nadia’s comments about the controversy. Pokimane’s launch of her Myna Snacks cookies has been a rough one with the streamer coming under fire due to the product’s price and its similarities to another item found at Costco. Although Pokimane and a Myna spokesperson stated that the cookies’ formula is unique and not a “drop shipped product” the debate over pricing waged on, with the streamer even jokingly mocking “broke” fans upset about paying $7 per bag. After Pokimane’s comments went viral and backlash spread, some streamers, such as Nadia, defended the Twitch icon, suggesting she was being targeted due to sexism. This didn’t sit right with xQc, who hit out at those claims. xQc blasts Nadia’s defense of Pokimane’s cookie controversy In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Nadia shared a video of Pokimane saying, “if you’re a broke boy just say so” in response to the cookie conundrum. Nadia accused those upset with Pokimane of not speaking out about male streamers such as N3on and Sneako when they are involved in controversy. “When a girl sells cookies that’s when the y’all wanna speak out? The immense hatred towards women on the internet is unhinged,” the Call of Duty streamer remarked. “This is why there is a threshold on women, yea it’s easier for us to get publicity, but to reach the top is almost impossible. The standards upheld on us are so extreme. However, the men at the top can say/do anything without any repercussions.” Yes Nadia, it is the hate towards women that gave the cookies their price tag. Coincidently, it’s also the hate towards women that made everyone live paycheck to paycheck and not able to afford luxury goods. There’s no valid criticism here, tell em queen 👸 — xQc (@xQc) November 20, 2023 As Nadia’s take spread across X, it got the attention of xQc, who responded sarcastically to her opinion. “Yes Nadia, it is the hate towards women that gave the cookies their price tag,” the French Canadian stormed back. “Coincidently, it’s also the hate towards women that made everyone live paycheck to paycheck and not able to afford luxury goods. There’s no valid criticism here, tell em queen.” So far, neither Nadia nor Pokimane has addressed xQc’s comments, but the cookie seller has indicated plans to consider lowering the price of Myna Snacks following backlash to make them as affordable as possible.

xQc hits back at Linus Tech Tips for roasting his “failed relationship” – Dexerto
xQc hits back at Linus Tech Tips for roasting his “failed relationship” Twitch: xQc / YouTube: Linus Tech TipsTwitch star xQc was left flabbergasted after prominent tech YouTuber Linus Tech Tips roasted him over his “failed relationship” and gambling hobby. Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is one of the internet’s top streamers, boasting a massive following on Twitch. He also recently signed a $100 million non-exclusive contract with Kick. However, he’s been on the receiving end of backlash over his “reaction” content lately, as many netizens have taken issue with him for using other creators’ content for his own videos and potentially harming the views on the original content. Linus Tech Tips, a popular tech YouTuber, recently discussed the controversy around xQc’s reaction videos and took a few shots at the streamer in the process. Linus Tech Tips takes shots at xQc amid “react” content drama “At some point, someone is going to figure out that he just signed a $100 million contract and come knocking, and I don’t believe there’s going to be any statute of limitations for this, because it’s never been dealt with at any point,” he said during an August 4 live stream. “And someone’s gonna go, ‘Hey, you know what? This is a pretty big bag we can get over this, but I’m gonna bide my time. I’m gonna let him keep doing it. I’ll let him build wealth, hope he doesn’t lose a bunch of it in another failed relationship — or gambling.’” (Topic begins at 48:20) xQc took notice of Linus’s comments and watched a clip from the stream during his own broadcast — and it’s safe to say that he was totally shocked, saying Linus’s remark was “out of left field.” “What is this guy’s problem?” xQc shouted, slamming his desk. “What is going on, man? Guys, what is happening? What is with these ambushes out of left field? I don’t even f*cking get it.” However, xQc claimed that he wasn’t going to be bothered by Linus’s remarks and continued on with his stream — but it’s clear that the interaction left him baffled. Linus’s mention of his “failed relationship” was likely a reference to his breakup with former partner Adept, with whom he’s been involved in a slew of drama as of late. According to xQc, Adept purportedly made off with his baby photos and other important documents, and even took photos of him sleeping with a ring on her finger. Recently, xQc claimed that he’d broken up with former girlfriend Fran, whom he’d apparently been seeing in the wake of his breakup from Adept. For now, it appears that the Juicer is single as he enjoys streaming on Kick to the tune of $100M.

xQc hits back at Logan Paul doubting his $100m Kick deal is “real” – Dexerto
xQc hits back at Logan Paul doubting his $100m Kick deal is “real” Twitch: xQc/YouTube: imPaulsiveStreaming star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has responded to Logan Paul after the imPaulsive podcast host claimed his $100 million deal with Kick is not totally “real.” When Kick arrived on the scene at the end of 2022, they immediately looked to make inroads into the livestreaming market. The Stake-backed platform, which looks identical to Twitch, signed a number of streamers right away as they’re allowed to gamble and have significantly better revenue splits. The latest of these big-name signings has been xQc. The former Overwatch star is allowed to split his time between Twitch and Kick after signing a non-exclusive deal with the latter worth a reported $100 million. That deal has already created plenty of buzz with other creators, including Logan Paul, who offered his services to Kick for a similar price because he doesn’t believe xQc’s deal is totally “real.” xQc responds to Logan Paul over Kick deal doubt Well, xQc responded to the YouTuber-turned-WWE wrestler during his July 5 stream, noting that creators like to downplay the success of others even though they’ll constantly hype their own deals up. “I feel like when people boast about their stuff, it’s maxed out the wazoo but when they judge other people’s stuff, it’s always taxes, this state, that. I don’t know why people do that,” the streaming star said. “It’s why I talk about all the taxes all the time. I’m a f*cking tax nerd. Bro, I cook myself on taxes and s*it because that’s just how it is, taxes are for everybody. And if you’re going to boast about not paying taxes, you’re tax evading and some s*it, I don’t know what to tell you.” xQc added that he found it “odd” how Logan doubts the deal and that he’s approaching things in a “weird” way – especially as he claimed Ninja’s deal with Mixer was never paid after it was shuttered. Ninja ultimately did get paid. “I just think it’s odd. It’s just a weird way to approach things dude. I get it, they’re joking, but there’s still servility there, come on man,” he added. It’s hardly like the two are going to get into an extended back-and-forth, seeing as Logan has things like Prime and working with the WWE to focus on. Who knows, if he ever makes the move to Kick, it could flare up, but even that seems pretty unlikely.

xQc hits back at Felicia Day after star claims Twitch promoted racist streamers – Dexerto
xQc hits back at Felicia Day after star claims Twitch promoted racist streamers Twitch: xQc/Twitter: Felicia DayTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel hit back at actress Felicia Day after she claimed the platform promoted racist and abusive channels as she was taking a look through some streams. For years, Twitch primarily gave a home to some of the world’s best gamers as they could show off their skills to a huge audience. Yet, it’s changed quite a bit since then with the rise of categories like Just Chatting and Gambling. Whether you’re an experienced Twitch viewer or a brand-new user, you’ll be recommended different channels based on who you already follow or what categories you’ve clicked on first. On September 3, actress Felicia Day claimed the platform recommended some unsavory broadcasts to her where she apparently “heard the c word the n word dozens of times” and “saw men repeatedly screaming profanity at women.” The actress said she was “confused” by this given that’s what was being shown to new viewers, but xQc asked for receipts. A few hours after her posts first went up, the Canadian responded asking she could prove what she was accusing rather than just putting it out without any substance. “Wrong on all counts, post proof or delete the tweet,” he said. Day responded and noted that tweet wasn’t pointed at xQc, if he’d taken it that way, and that she’d actually “laughed a lot” at what she saw on his stream. However, the former Overwatch pro still wanted receipts regardless of the compliment. “Oh thanks! I was just wondering if you had the receipts so we could hold the people accountable for their actions,” he fired back. Oh thanks! I was just wondering if you had the receipts so we could hold the people accountable for their actions. — xQc (@xQc) September 4, 2021 While other streamers and tweeters egged on the actress to fulfill xQc’s request, she has yet to do so. QTCinderella even joked that Twitch “can never” take the “word c**t away from me” in response to Day. Twitch can never take the word cunt away from me. Don’t you dare try to make that happen. — QTCinderella (@qtcinderella) September 4, 2021 Twitch does give streamers the option to set up age restrictions for their streams, which means accounts aren’t able to watch until they acknowledge the warning. Though, it’s on the streamer to set them up and not everyone will do so, so some questionable content happens without warnings.

xQc hits back at Hasan as streamers feud: “It’s lame as f**k” – Dexerto
xQc hits back at Hasan as streamers feud: “It’s lame as f**k” Twitch: xQc / HasanAbixQc has stirred an unexpected controversy with fellow Twitch star HasanAbi, after he placed him in the ‘B’ tier of his streamer tier list – provoking Hasan to comment that he “wasn’t a good person.” xQc has responded to the comments, calling it “lame.” On June 14, Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel completed a streamer tier list on stream, ranking streamers he is familiar with on a range of ‘S’ to ‘D’. Hasan, one of the most-watched streamers on the platform, only made the cut for the B tier – something he took issue with on Twitter. Despite Lengyel actually saying he “liked” him a lot, Hasan responded, “xQc probably ranked me a B list streamer because I won’t f**king have him on when a trending political thing is happening where he has to act like he cares to farm the last ounce of the Twitch directory before he goes back to promoting crypto gambling to teens for multiple millions.” After the inevitable drama this sparked, Hasan made his alt-Twitter account private, but went on to criticize xQc again on Discord. He said, “he’s just never been a good person to me and idc.” Hasan also suggested that other streamers “baby” xQc and have more patience with him because he’s popular, regularly pulling over 60,000 concurrent viewers. xQc responds to Hasan On stream, xQc addressed the comments directly. “I think this is just pure projection,” he said. “Calling people out for doing a piece of content, calling it ‘farming’ … I think is just is perspective, and why he does things.” As for the claim that xQc’s friends only put up with him because he’s popular, xQc said it was “lame as f**k.” “Making such a far-fetched conclusion about somebody’s friend groups, who they hang out with and why they hang out with them, I think it’s kinda lame. “Devalidating someone’s entire social group, based on what they have or whatever, is the reason people create boundaries, and end up having a twisted mindset about social groups. I think that’s lame as f**k, I’m just going to say it.” Clearly, there is a rift between the two mega-popular streamers that appears to have been brewing under the surface for a while. Most fans of the streamers were surprised to see Hasan go on the offensive after the seemingly innocuous streaming tier list.

xQc hits back at “extremely envious” streamer criticizing Kick deals – Dexerto
xQc hits back at “extremely envious” streamer criticizing Kick deals xQc/TwitchxQc has received a lot of criticism from fellow streamers after accepting a $100 million deal with Kick. Most recently an Australian streamer express their thoughts on the matter, which led xQc to hit back at him for being “extremely envious” of it. Kick’s rise has been a touchy subject in the streaming world, especially now that the Stake-backed platform has signed a few top-name streamers. Their move to sign xQc to a non-exclusive deal has once again intensified the conversation around it. A number of streamers have criticized the platform, including Mathil1, as he joined fellow Aussie Quin69 on his June 25 stream. During that stream, Quin asked Mathil for his thoughts on Kick and the deals they’ve handed out. “Every single one of those people are sub-human scum,” said Mathil about those who have joined. Although acknowledging Quin’s admiration for xQc, the Australian further labeled the popular streamer and others that have switched to Kick as “straight-up evil.” xQc later came across a clip of the two streamers discussing him and his Kick deal and decided to watch it live on his stream on June 26. xQc hits back and calls Mathil1 “extremely envious” In response to the Aussie’s conversation, the streaming star argued that the way Mathil expressed his thoughts made him appear envious. “I’m gonna be honest with you, there are a lot of ways to manifest and to argue something, or make a point about something. This just comes across as extremely envious, almost,” xQc said. “Because there are a lot of loaded words that intend something. A lot of the words that he’s using are loaded, to go somewhere. “And when you load all your f**king spears angled towards something, it’s a beat that comes from a root, and that root often is gonna be jealousy, envy, and insecurity.” xQc continued: “I don’t mean to call him out or anything, but when you use loaded words angled in a certain way, usually jealousy, envy, and insecurity, it’s like the trifecta of human awakeness, and it’s a thing that people do when they feel certain ways. That’s just how it is.” While some have an obvious issue with Kick, it’s believed that more top streamers will be joining the platform, with site co-owner Trainwrecks recently teasing that several more massive signings are on the way.

xQc hits back at criticism for reacting to videos on stream – Dexerto
xQc hits back at criticism for reacting to videos on stream xQc, YouTubePopular Twitch streamer Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has responded to viewers who criticize him for reacting to videos during his broadcasts. Former Overwatch pro xQc has become one of the biggest streamers on Twitch in recent years, building a massive fan base of just under 3 million followers. While he is known for broadcasting a wide variety of content on his channel, some viewers, who were unhappy with his approach to streaming, criticized him for spending too much time reacting to videos and other posts while he is live. During his Dark Souls III playthrough on April 30, the 24-year-old fired back at some of the critics, revealing that he does not do it quite as much as some of his viewers would claim and mainly checks in on the current trends. “I look at the trends okay? I look at comments on other platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and people’s personal channels, I analyze that s**t okay, sometimes I look at it,” he explained. xQc also explained that there were other popular streamers on the platform who spend considerably longer reacting to clips that their fans send in. He highlighted Fedmyster and Nymn as two popular streamers that spend even more time reacting to videos and claimed that their chat is filled with praise for the “amazing” entertainment they are providing. “Why do I get all the hate for that s**t?” he asked, confused by some of his viewers’ criticism, “when I do one and half hours a day, tops.” Similarly, the popular streamer has previously voiced his opinion on Twitch subscribers that “expect too much” while watching their favorite streamers. Mixer star Michael ‘Shroud’ Grzesiek has also recently discussed the differences between what Twitch viewers typically want to watch compared to those on his new streaming platform.

xQc hits back at everyone “losing their minds” over his react streams – Dexerto
xQc hits back at everyone “losing their minds” over his react streams Twitch: xQcOWFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has once again hit out at criticism over his popular react-style content on Twitch, even comparing it to other popular streamers and questioning why they didn’t receive the same backlash. xQc and some of his Twitch peers have been causing a stir online with their react content, typically watching TV shows and movies, while simply reacting to what happens. With DMCA and legality concerns being raised, and Pokimane even being banned from the platform while reacting to Avatar: The Last Airbender, there has been some serious ongoing discussion regarding the ‘TV show meta’. With pressure heating up on the situation, Twitch’s Head of Community Productions djWheat even said that his management team “must be worthless” for letting him continue to stream TV shows. xQc, however, doesn’t see it the same way, and doesn’t think the criticism has been entirely fair either. Reacting to the DjWheat tweets, xQc asked: “Where was all this energy when Toast was watching 150 episodes of Naruto while literally sleeping on stream? Where was all this energy at then?” He goes on to question why he “watches three hours of content and the internet loses its mind,” adding that DisguistedToast had “literally a library of one of the most distributed anime in America … and nobody blinks an eye.” xQc isn’t the first to question possible double standards over how different creators have been treated in regards to their content. Trainwreck recently called out the “shamelessness” of some streamers in an argument with Hasan, after he was vilified for his react content several years ago while it’s now become meta. There is still a lot of debate ongoing regarding the ‘TV show meta’ and react content in general, and at this rate, it’s not going to die down any time soon.

xQc hits back at Amouranth over hot tub drama: “It was never about morals” – Dexerto
xQc hits back at Amouranth over hot tub drama: “It was never about morals” Twitch: xQcOw / AmouranthStreamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel responded to Amouranth’s tweet about his gambling content. The former Overwatch pro called her take “weak.” On June 30, xQc came under fire from fellow streamer Amouranth after she claimed that he was only criticizing the Twitch hot tub meta to “distract” from the controversy surrounding his gambling content. Reacting to her post during his broadcast, Lengyel hit back at the IRL streamer for misrepresenting his take on Hot Tub and Yoga ASMR streams. The star called her out for trying make it about “morals” and “ethics.” xQc slams Amouranth’s tweet about him During hist July 1 broadcast, xQc was reacting to content when viewers sent him Amouranth’s tweet about him. “Guys, what in the actual f**k? I’ve stated my stance five times, and out of everybody, she is the only person who heard my take in person and she she pulls this out? That’s f**king weak. That is so weak,” he said. The streamer then clarified that she was making it about morals when he never argued that. “Nobody ever spoke about the ethics and the morals about nudity, gambling… It’s NEVER been about this. It’s always been about the concerns about Twitch, and their Terms of Service,” he continued. Lengyel gave an example of how he thinks Twitch is unfairly enforcing the rules: “The problem is that if I watch a police video and literally some guy’s one tenth of a booty shows up, I am literally banned. Yet these streams had mini shorts all the way inside the butt crack, on full screen for hours on end, and it was considered normal and accepted according to Terms of service. And that is a general concern for all partners.” (Topic starts at 7:47) xQc followed up by explaining how he feared getting banned in the past. “I was living in fear for eight months, thinking I was going to lose my career forever because I saw a piece of bra during a Jerry Springer video. And I log in on Twitch and I see G string out the butt crack (he then imitated streamers licking their microphones), WHAT THE F**K!” he exclaimed. He clarified he doesn’t care what kind of content is on Twitch – he just wants the rules applied fairly to everyone. “This has been my take. I never ever said anything about the morals, what content should be on Twitch. I don’t give a f**k. I don’t care dude.” Responding to Amouranth’s gambling comments, the streamer shot back: “There is a f**king slots category on Twitch, MORON. Literally. HAS NO [Terms of Service] implications, none!” before reiterating that he thought her response was “weird” and misrepresenting what his stance has been for years.

xQc hits back at criticism for Las Vegas move as he switches states again – Dexerto
xQc hits back at criticism for Las Vegas move as he switches states again xQcStreaming star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has hit back at some of the drama surrounding his recent move to Las Vegas, claiming that the cost of happiness for him is “ridiculous”. Over the last few years, xQc has been on the move pretty regularly. Sometimes it’s been a security issue after having his different homes swatted and broken into. Other times he’s had to return home to Canada for a brief period during the visa renewal process. Most recently, he had been living in Texas with Poke and other content creators, but that created some drama as xQc ‘overstayed’ his welcome. That put him on the lookout for a new place. In his most recent move, xQc departed Texas for Las Vegas on August 8, saying he was moving to the entertainment capital of the world for at least the time being. He had only been there a short while before he hopped on stream with Adin Ross. xQc addresses some backlash following his move to Las Vegas After the pair had concluded their stream, xQc thanked Adin for hanging out, saying he “smiled and laughed for the first time in a while” because of it. Though, shortly after that post on Twitter/X, the Twitch star followed it up with another tweet addressing some of the negative comments about him moving to Vegas and hanging out with Adin. “The COST for happiness is ridiculous. Anything I do that furthers me or gets me in a place that isn’t as dark as it usually is, I get major pushback from every angle. I posted that I was moving to Vegas for a while yesterday to escape it all. Do you see the response?” he said, adding a confused emoji at the end. Plenty of fans stated that they didn’t believe Vegas was the move he needed to make given the lack of privacy and “clout chasers” that would surround him there. That’s before mentioning that xQc has admitted to being addicted to gambling in the past. It’s not the only thing he’s come under fire for in the last few days. Many hit out at xQc for his personal shots at Ethan Klein after their ‘debate’ over react content and his former partner, Adept, labeled the whole thing as “embarrassing” as she took some shots.

xQc hits back after Mizkif slams him over gambling streams and more – Dexerto
xQc hits back after Mizkif slams him over gambling streams and more Twitch: xQc/ MizkifTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel quickly fired back Mizkif after his fellow streamer criticized him for not attending Creator Clash so that he could “go gamble.” xQc has been having to defending himself from a wave of criticism from his fellow streamers for dropping out of streaming events, one of the most controversial being when he bailed out of QTCinderella’s Shitcamp 2022, supposedly “at the last minute.” However, things got particularly heated between Mizkif and xQc on September 13 as the pair threw various digs at one another. One of which included Mizkif slamming xQc for supposedly dropping out of the hugely successful Creator Clash in May 2022 so that he could gamble. However, it wasn’t long before xQc hit back and explained his various absences from streaming events. xQc and Mizkif exchange fiery insults on Twitch Mizkif was doing an honest Q&A during his livestream and was talking about his interactions with other streamers when he noticed a message from xQc in his chat. “We’re all lying at the same time,” xQc claimed. “Like, the time you wouldn’t let the girls pass you in viewers, so you re-broadcasted their show against their will, then manipulated all of them against me when I defended them.” As Mizkif looked on in confusion, he quickly hit back at xQc by claiming that he dropped out of attending Creator Clash so that he could focus on gambling streams, which have also been controversial among the Twitch community. (Topic begins in the livestream at 02:02:35) Not long after Mizkif’s comments, xQc explained the drama during his livestream. The 26-year-old clarified his previous statements against Mizkif and added he then got a number of female creators to gang up on him despite having defended them. He also took the opportunity to apologize for not attending Shitcamp. Although he was careful not to divulge too much information, xQc stated: “I couldn’t leave home. I had massive family drama that intertwined with relationship drama. It was hardcore […] I had to stay home.” Things have gone quiet for now between Mizkif and xQc as their livestreams from September 13 have come to an end. However, with the interaction picking up attention across the internet, it’s likely there’ll be more streamers to share their take on the beef in the coming days.

xQc hits back after Pokimane says she wouldn’t join Kick over “morals” – Dexerto
xQc hits back after Pokimane says she wouldn’t join Kick over “morals” Twitch: xQc/PokimaneStreaming star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel hit back at Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys for “flexing” her ethics amid the drama around him signing a $100m deal to stream on Kick. Back on June 16, xQc set the internet ablaze when it was revealed that he’d be signing a non-exclusive deal with Kick worth around $100 million. Plenty of streamers congratulated the Twitch star on getting such a massive payday, but there have been plenty of others who’ve been critical of it because of Kick being backed by Stake – the crypto casino and sports gambling website. Pokimane has been one of the vocal critics of Kick, saying she wouldn’t make the move for $10 million as it would “compromise” her “morals and ethics.” That had xQc pretty annoyed as he fired back both on stream and via Twitter. xQc responds to Pokimane over “morals and ethics” about Kick deal “Morals and ethics about what? You have to be more specific, you can’t just say morals and ethics. I mean, that thing is pretty obvious when you talk about other topics,” xQc said during his June 20 stream. “What morals and ethics is there to f*cking breach? I genuinely don’t get it, about what? Oh, it’s the same gamba equals the win argument. So instead of doing the win argument, it’s layering morals and ethics on top of that. I’m not pressed, I just think it’s weird under that pretext because later down the line, when they’re all proven wrong, nobody will go back and correct the thing by saying ‘Hey you know what guys, it wasn’t about gamba.’ They never go back and fix this.” From there, the former Overwatch star pointed to gambling deals that streamers have taken that haven’t upset the community. Including some that were with Stake themselves. He followed it up a few days later, taking a jab at Pokimane and others on Twitter for “flexing” their ethics. “Flexing your morals and ethics on other people around you comes from pure insecurity. Nothing else,” xQc tweeted. Given how long the conversation about gambling on stream has stayed around, it is unlikely that this offshoot of drama ends anytime soon.

xQc hit with 3 million fake Twitch followers amid streaming break – Dexerto
xQc hit with 3 million fake Twitch followers amid streaming break Twitch: xQcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel had his channel hit with around three million botted followers, making him jump from outside the top-ten most-followed to inside the top-six. For the longest time, Twitch streamers have had to deal with trolls hitting their channels with fake followers and chat messages in a bit to get them struck off of Twitch. In most cases, smaller Twitch channels have been hit with bottled followers, putting them up there with some of the biggest names around on popularity charts. It’s not uncommon to see it happens to big names either, with Adin Ross falling victim to them at one point. Now, xQc has been hit with a few million fake followers. The former Overwatch professional, who was recently banned from Twitch for a matter of hours after streaming a video of highlights from the Olympics, has been taking a brief break from streaming due to unknown reasons. In his absence, his channel – which previously boasted around six million followers – has been skyrocketed into the top-six most-followed channels on Twitch, with around three million fake followers being added. As stats from TwitchMetrics show, Lengyel was hit with the boost on Friday, July 30, and jumped up to around nine million followers. His channels views, for the most part, remain unaffected – a clear sign of fake viewers. As noted, adding millions of fake followers to a channel is usually an attempt to get the channel flagged and ultimately suspended. though, that hasn’t happened to xQc. Twitch has, previously, dealt with these fake follower bottings in a speedy fashion, deleting the accounts and resetting the follower counts back to their previous. We’ll have to wait and see if that happens for the Canadian star, and if he decides to dish out some spicy roasts on whoever hit him with the fakes.

xQc hilariously trolled by chat while showing off “astounding” Rainbow Six gameplay – Dexerto
xQc hilariously trolled by chat while showing off “astounding” Rainbow Six gameplay Twitch: xQcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel was roasted mercilessly by his chat after he didn’t realise that he wasn’t streaming any Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege gameplay. Being Twitch’s most popular streamer has its perks, including having a strong fanbase behind your back, which is certainly the case for xQc. The streamer’s followers have teamed up on numerous occasions with hilarious affect, including trolling his fellow creators and even Fox News. The group aren’t afraid to turn the tables and troll xQc on occasions, as seen during his August 4 livestream after he experienced a technical fluke. xQc mocks Twitch chat after being trolled xQc was playing away on Rainbow Six, completely unaware that none of the game was being projected on his screen. As a result, his viewers could only see him and a blank screen. His chat then got plagued with viewers joking about the “astounding gameplay” as xQc went on playing with his friends. After finally realising that he wasn’t streaming any of the game, xQc hit back at his fans for trolling and laughing at him. He said: “This chat is so f**king dumb. Guys, how is this funny? That’s not even funny. I don’t know how you guys think that’s funny.” However, after explaining the blunder to his teammates, they too erupted into laughter. They also said it was even more hilarious given how well xQc was playing. Although, xQc soon got the gameplay back up on his steam and didn’t let the funny moment get in the way of helping his team to victory.

xQc hints at starting his own podcast and who his first guest would be – Dexerto
xQc hints at starting his own podcast and who his first guest would be Twitch: xQcTwitch’s number one streamer xQc may be planning to branch out from just daily streams, to start his very own podcast, teasing the idea and who he’d invite to be the first guest. Podcasting has become all the rage for content creators, with a mix of YouTubers, streamers, and more all starting up their own mini-talk shows, inviting their famous friends for a chat. And there can be big money in these projects – Spotify swiped Joe Rogan’s podcast from YouTube in a $200 million deal, and KSI revealed he had turned down a $10m offer to start his podcast. For xQc, it’s very early days, and the podcast may never happen, but it sounds like he is certainly considering the idea. xQc wants Forsen on brand new podcast Speaking on his September 12 stream, xQc was watching some of Forsen’s channel, a Swedish streamer who has been one of the big names on the platform since its early days in 2011. “Guys, one day, I’ll open up my insane new idea podcast,” xQc said. “I’ll have Forsen as the first guest. It’s going to be a big interview.” Part of xQc’s desire to get Forsen as a guest on his future, non-existent podcast, is because the Swede is somewhat of an enigma. He rarely interacts with the wider streaming community, plays a variety of games and doesn’t have an exorbitant streaming setup, instead keeping things simple – a bit like xQc himself. xQc even asked his chat, “people who watch Forsen, why doesn’t he want to be around other people these days?” However, some chatters did point out that Forsen did in fact do his first interview in seven years back in June, with gaming-focused supplement brand MADMONQ. As for an interview with xQc himself, now that would definitely be something fans would want to see.

xQc hilariously reenacts shootout scene during scathing John Wick review – Dexerto
xQc hilariously reenacts shootout scene during scathing John Wick review Twitch/xQc/LionsgateLegendary Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel was watching YouTube videos with his audience when he began to check out a major action sequence from the first John Wick film, starring Keanu Reeves. The movie’s club shootout scene is one of the highlights of John Wick, where the title character attempts to track down and kill the son of a mobster who killed his dog and stole his car. Unlike the next two films in the franchise, the first John Wick flick has its major action scene during the middle of the movie. Notably, it features Reeves laying waste to several mobsters while the calming tune of ‘Think’ by Kaleida plays in the background – creating quite the contrast. As the former Overwatch League pro noted, however, the enemies that the assassin squares off against all seemed to have extremely bad aim. Ever the gamer, Felix compared the disposable bad guys in the film to non-playable characters in video games, who are regularly mowed down by action stars. “Chat, why do mobs aim so bad in movies?” he pondered. “The NPCs are botto, dude.” He furthered his video game comparison a few moments later. “They’re on like very easy [mode],” he laughed, and proceeded to do an impression of the generic mobster by waving his finger guns around. “It’s plot armor,” he chuckled. “You have to admit it makes no sense, though.” As the scene transitioned to the shootout portion on the dance floor, the French Canadian threw his headset off and proceeded to do his best John Wick impression. “This is John Wick!” he yelled as he ran across his room. Without warning, the streamer did a somersault on his bed, and started performing his own version of “gun fu” – a combination of martial arts and close-quarters gunplay made popular by action movies. xQc started “firing” between his legs, rolled around and waved his arms every which way before walking back to his desk with a smug look on his face. “Come on, man. How are you going to take this sh*t seriously? So dumb.” While xQc may think the films are silly, a lot of fans sure don’t, with the first film raking in 86 million dollars at the box office. The sequel pulled a whopping 171.5 million, and the third grosssed 326.7 million. A fourth film in the series is planned for release on May 21, 2021. Amusingly, that is the same day that Keanu Reeves is set to return as Neo when The Matrix 4 hits theaters. So far, neither film has flinched, and only time will tell if either fourth installment suffers from the dual-release date drama. Regardless, we can’t wait to see what xQc thinks of both of those films once they reach cinemas next year.

xQc Hilariously Ruins Fan’s Gift Because He Doesn’t Understand Origami – Dexerto
xQc Hilariously Ruins Fan’s Gift Because He Doesn’t Understand Origami Streamer Felix “xQc” Lengyel was opening gifts from some of his fans live on stream when he fumbled a special gift from one fan that was supposed to be origami – ruining it completely. If unfamiliar, origami is the ancient Japanese art of paper folding to make intricate shapes and designs, often swans or other animals and objects, but xQc seemed to completely miss this point. A popular streamer on Twitch, xQc had allowed some fans to send him gifts, presumably through a P.O box for him to open on stream. Some of the gifts included new keyboards and some others were more cheap and cheerful, but one fan’s intricate origami gift was completely spoiled, in a hilarious mishap by xQc. It is unclear what the origami was originally meant to be, but after xQc was done with it, it was effectively just a flat piece of crinkled paper. Some of his other gifts were equally thoughtful but more expensive, such as the Twitch chat inspired keyboard. Emblazoned with the chat emotes ‘monkaS’, ‘4Head’ and ‘Jebaited’, as well as ‘sumSmash’, the keyboard paid tribute to xQc’s habit of smashing keyboards in rage. He also received other items that took considerable effort from fans, like custom designed t-shirts and lengthy hand-written notes of appreciation. Perhaps the fan who sent the origami will sent an updated version – with a not so appreciative note.

xQc hilariously fires back at PewDiePie for roasting streamers – Dexerto
xQc hilariously fires back at PewDiePie for roasting streamers YT: PewDiePie/Twitch: xQcEx-professional Overwatch player turned Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has hit back at YouTube King Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg, after the Swede roasted streamers. Since transitioning from Overwatch esports to full time Twitch streaming, xQc has delighted viewers all over the world with his hilarious gameplays and uncompromising comments. He has recently entertained viewers by playing a number of indie horror games, in among his usual ‘Just Chatting’ content. It was while xQc was just chatting on December 24, that he hit back at the YouTube King for comments he made about streamers. xQc was watching PewDiePie’s most recent ‘Leg Reveal’ video, in which the Swede plays ‘Jump King’, a simple ascension game from Kongregate. While playing the game, Kjellberg fired shots at streamers, criticizing their lack of talent at video games. “This game is popular with streamers,” said Pewds. “Because streamers are actual man-children who are not good at games, even though they play them every single day.” xQc recently played Jump King, and must have felt the comment was directed at him. He then hit back in a way only xQc could: “Guys, I thought that Felix wanted to take a gander at streaming, how did that go? What was that like chat?” xQc is referencing Pewds affiliation with D-Live, a live streaming service to which Kjellberg signed a deal to stream exclusively on. However, the Swede has struggled with streaming, and has barely been live over the last month or so. Pewds has recently withdrawn from social media, as well as announcing a break from YouTube. xQc has clearly taken issue with Kjellberg’s comments, and hit back in his trademark fashion. The Canadian did not seem entertained by Pewds’ YouTube video, quickly transitioning into finding a game to play. He is never one scared to share his opinions, recently weighing in on the controller vs PC debate. While he can’t please everyone, he does a good job of pleasing his fans.

xQc shares hilarious reaction to James Charles’ streaming fail – Dexerto
xQc shares hilarious reaction to James Charles’ streaming fail xQc, Pokelawls, James Charles / TwitchMassively popular YouTuber and makeup mogul James Charles is trying his hand at a different platform, taking to live streaming site Twitch for a broadcast on June 28 – a move that saw an unexpected conclusion, thanks to a slew of toxic viewers. Charles went live only to find his chat spammed with a multitude of “annoying” emotes, including phallic ASCII art messages and even streamer Mizkif’s “eggers” emote, which he unsuccessfully attempted to ban. The spam got so intense that Charles Overwatch pro Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel. James Charles’ first foray into Twitch territory didn’t go as planned.https://www.instagram.com/p/ByJPlgcJ3SN/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link xQc had a hilarious take on the incident, noting that Charles looked ready for a serious “Just Chatting” stream and even calling him a “god,” before bursting out into laughter as Charles went offline due to the spam. “Dude, he looks ready for some f*cking ‘Just Chatting,’ dude,” xQc said of the stream. “He’s all set up. What a god! …nevermind, nevermind, dude. I didn’t say sh*t!” Streamer ‘Pokelawls’ even got in on the action, providing his real-time reactions as he tuned into Charles’ first stream as it was happening, nearly losing his mind over Charles’ response to the phallic images in the chat. “That was his first experience with Twitch chat!” Pokelawls laughed. “The f*cking crooked dicks!” While Charles has yet to speak out on his Twitch stream as of June 29, this wouldn’t be the first time he’s been met with overwhelming harassment: the YouTuber was also the subject of widespread hate in early May, after beauty YouTuber Tati Westbrook accused him of using his fame to manipulate the sexuality of straight men. However, Charles later debunked Tati’s claims in a 41-minute-long video, effectively turning the tides of war and winning back his 15 million subscriber milestone in the process. While Charles has found ample success on YouTube, it looks like his Twitch journey is getting off to a rough start – but that’s nothing a few chat moderators can’t fix, in the meantime.

xQc tells hilarious story about getting into trouble at school – Dexerto
xQc tells hilarious story about getting into trouble at school Twitch: xQcOW / UnsplashTwitch superstar Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel recounted a story about a particular incident at school as a child during his stream on August 11 – and it’s as hilarious as you’d expect. The Overwatch pro is widely known for his Twitch rants and reactionary outbursts, but there’s something special about an xQc storytime. During his August 11 livestream, the Canadian detailed a hilarious story from when he was a child about a time he got in trouble with the principal at school. xQc was a sneaky child The Canadian pro began his story by detailing how he’d gotten in trouble for misbehaving, and had to sit in class and write lines during recess while all the other kids were playing outside. He then revealed a sneaky way to get around writing one line at once. “Dad had bought really, really cheap pens, right? And I took all the pens and I took a ruler and I snapped it in half. And I put the ruler like this, and I put pens like this,” the Canadian said as he demonstrated with a diagram in MS Paint. “I taped the fuck out of it. I taped all of it. It took me a little bit of time to get the pens at the right height, some were too dark, some were very light. It took some time but I was writing six lines at once. I was pumping the fuck off.” xQc then revealed how the principal walked in while he was putting his genius invention to good use. “I was almost done, and the principal walks in ‘cos she would always do rounds. “Oh, what’re you doing?” And she picks up my shit and is like “What is this?” and I’m like “I’m just doing my lines!”,” he said. The teacher was furious. “She said “No, you’re supposed to write every line” and I’m like “dude, there was no rules. You just told me to write lines.” The Canadian streamer then explained that the principal was so mad that she destroyed it. “And then she takes my invention, and she starts snapping it, dude. And she just… She breaks it! and I’m like dude, that’s so sad.” The principal called up xQc’s dad The teacher was having none of the Overwatch pro’s excuses, so she called up his dad. “And then she grabs my arm, she went upstairs, and she calls my dad, dude. She’s fucking tilted! She picks up the phone, calls my dad.” “Then she says “Oh, do you want to know what your child did? I told him to write a bunch of lines and he taped a machine together and he was multitasking his lines.” xQc then revealed how his dad didn’t care: “And then there was a silence. And my dad was like “yeah? What’s wrong with that? That’s pretty smart” and then dude, she was tilted, dude. She lost her shit.” Luckily, the Canadian streamer’s father laughed about it once he got home. “And then I was home, and my dad was like “but can I see it though?” He wanted to see my invention, he thought I was smart.” xQc is one of the most popular streamers on the platform with over 1.4 million followers as of August 12.

xQc “hates” streaming GTA RP despite loving NoPixel 4.0 update – Dexerto
xQc “hates” streaming GTA RP despite loving NoPixel 4.0 update xQc/TwitchTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel says he “hates” streaming GTA RP despite the fact he loves actually playing on the NoPixel server. Over the last few years, GTA RP has had a pretty big resurgence on Twitch. The multiplayer mod’s popularity has been helped by some big streamers hopping onto servers like NoPixel and staying pretty committed while also mingling with hardcore roleplayers. Despite being banned from time to time, xQc has been at the forefront of that. The Canadian streaming star has caused chaos on NoPixel – which he now part owns with other streaming stars like Buddha – as Jean Paul/X, proving himself to be one of the deadliest criminals in RP. He had taken a break from roleplaying towards the end of NoPixel’s 3.0 update, focusing on other games instead, but has returned to RP now that the 4.0 update is live. However, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing. xQc “hates” GTA RP streams despite loving NoPixel 4.0 The streaming star, who splits his time between Kick and Twitch, does get a fair few comments from fans who want to see him play something other than GTA RP – even if he is enjoying himself. That has, naturally, created some issues. “Listen, I wish you understood that playing RP is the most fun thing I’ve had in like the last two years,” he said during his January 8 stream. “And then it’s the most unfun thing to stream in like the last three to five years. Actually, it is so unfun it’s unbelievable. I hate doing it, I hate it.” Plenty of streamers have had similar issues with their community getting too involved in wanting to dictate what they do in-game, and have even attacked other members in the community. If it becomes too much, xQc will likely take a break from streaming RP – as he has done in the past – and just play off-stream instead. Though, there are plenty of fans who absolutely do not want that to happen.

xQc’s hilarious hair appointment stream has spawned brand-new memes – Dexerto
xQc’s hilarious hair appointment stream has spawned brand-new memes xQc TwitchTwitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel streamed while getting his hair done at a salon, and now every other frame from that broadcast is spawning brilliant new memes. The former Overwatch pro recorded every moment of his appointment, from bleaching to cutting. While the stream was an awesome way for xQc to further connect with his fans, it looks like some viewers had another reason for tuning in. During a March 26 broadcast, xQc was going through fan-requested videos when one viewer suggested a meme complication at the streamer’s expense. The Canadian broadcaster was left speechless when he saw hilarious split images comparing various stills of his VOD with everything from a baby monkey to a Dash from Pixar’s The Incredibles. The video also contained the soundbyte “Oh no no no,” a classic meme dub that only added to the compilation’s quality. Even xQc had to let out a few chuckles as after a couple of replays, notably when his hair was tied up in a small ponytail while the other image displayed a rooster with a similarily styled feathers. His Twitch Chat were in roars of laughter with more people spamming “PepeLaugh” and “OmegaLUL” with every passing image. Aside from the Twitch clip that has almost 50,000 views since it was published, more people have taken it upon themselves to relate xQc’s trip to the stylist with custom memes. As a master meme-maker, xQc looked like he had a slight appreciation for some of the funnier creations that came out of his community. xQc routinely makes some of the funniest clips on Twitch, and it seems like his audience are rubbing off him with the latest wave of memes.

xQc “hates” MrBeast’s $100 million house from viral YouTube video – Dexerto
xQc “hates” MrBeast’s $100 million house from viral YouTube video xQc / FidiasTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has criticized the over $100 million mansion used in MrBeast’s viral YouTube video, claiming that it needs to be “redone.” Despite xQc being heavily criticized for using other people’s videos for react content recently, he’s spent numerous hours on stream doing just that ever since. The Twitch and Kick streamer shared his opinions on various videos from fellow creators, trending TikToks, as well as Forsen’s broadcast of him trying to break his Minecraft Ender Dragon speedrun record. He eventually began watching MrBeast’s YouTube video, where he showed his “hate” for the $100 million mansion asking for it to be “redone.” xQc criticizes MrBeast’s $100 million mansion in YouTube video During the video, xQc is seen reacting to the differing homes, such as the first one being a $1 wooden shed in the middle of the water. MrBeast’s YouTube video titled “$1 Vs $100,000,000 House!”, has gained over 85 million views in just two days. After reviewing some of the less expensive houses that ranged from $1 to $45 million, he was impressed with the value. “They say it’s $15 mil, but if they sell it they’d probably get more than that,” xQc said about one house while going on to claim that the $30 million property was a “steal.” However, when the video switched to the most expensive houses, the streamer soon expressed his disapproval. While viewing the $69 million house, he stated: “Chat, this needs to be redone. Sorry, I said it,” he said, before adding: “Guys, I think this is kinda garbage though. You cannot escape the sun. Like, you cannot escape it at all.” Finally, they stopped by the most expensive $100 million mansion. Although he appreciated some aspects of the house, such as the swimming pool and basketball court, ultimately he heavily criticized it. “Guys, I’m such a hater. I hate this. Guys, it’s not homey, it’s not comfy. I look at this and I don’t wanna sleep there. I like things that are big and lower to the ground, more carpet,” xQc stated. Aside from million-dollar mansions, MrBeast himself has been slammed by followers who have called his teaser for his upcoming 100-day challenge “awful”.

xQc hates on NASA’s microphones during stream – Dexerto
xQc hates on NASA’s microphones during stream The Overwatch League/NASAAfter watching the live stream for the landing of the NASA InSight Mars probe, popular streamer Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel wondered why NASA always uses such poor quality microphones. NASA streamed the landing of their Mars InSight probe Monday, November 26 live on Twitch, and xQc decided to watch the stream along with his viewers. One thing in particular caught his attention: the microphones being used by NASA employees during the procedure were what he called “super scuffed.” To prove his point, xQc pulled up a clip of the 1969 Apollo 11 Moon landing where Neil Armstrong recites his famous “One small step for man” line and makes fun of the poor sound quality. “They spend billions of dollars, and months and years of attempts to go to the Moon, and they finally get there, with all their equipment all this metal all this steel all these resources, all this shit right?” xQc told his chat. “They finally land there and you know what we get dude?” xQc asked viewers in chat. “We get this piece of shit fucking mic dude.” xQc probably could have picked a better example than the Moon Landing, where radio signals had to travel roughly 238,900 miles from the Moon to Earth with equipment available almost 50 years ago. If we ever go back to the Moon, or Mars if Elon Musk has his way, it would be pretty hilarious to watch live with xQc and see what he has to say. Maybe they’ll even invest in some better headsets by then.

xQc, Hasan, more referenced in Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT infringement lawsuit – Dexerto
xQc, Hasan, more referenced in Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT infringement lawsuit Twitch: xQc / Twitch: HasanAbiTop Twitch stars xQc, Hasan, and MoistCr1TiKaL have been referenced in a counterclaim against Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT owners Yuga Labs, as part of a defense to a copyright infringement lawsuit surrounding a specific protest, RR/BAYC. Some of Twitch’s biggest names have been dragged into a major lawsuit between NFT minter Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and two individuals who started a protest ‘mint’ to highlight alleged connections between the project and “subversive internet nazi troll culture.” Yuga Labs sued Ryder Ripps and Jeremy Cahen on June 24 for false advertising, trademark infringement, and more. While a judge denied the defendant’s initial filing almost in full, pushing ten causes of action forward in Yuga Labs’ favor, the duo’s counter suit has thrown top Twitch streamers into the mix. This includes Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel, Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker, and Charles ‘MoistCr1TiKaL’ White. The trio, among other top content creators, haven’t been named as parties to the suit, but rather referenced in the defense. It built a narrative around the growing protest around NFTs and specifically BAYC, noting the stars were critical in getting the #BURNBAYC movement going. “Social media influencers and celebrity YouTubers have been using the #BURNBAYC hashtag, which began trending the same week the RR/BAYC collection sold out,” the suit claimed. “The question of whether BAYC is racist has become a ‘viral debate’ and mainstream newspapers reported that #BURNBAYC is a ‘public opinion storm’ and ‘too large to ignore.’” However the mention blindsided those named: “What’s happening?” Hasan asked on stream. “Am I going to court? What the f**k?” Ripps, on his website selling the RR/BAYC tokens, claimed “through months of intensive research, myself and other community members have discovered extensive connections between BAYC and subversive internet nazi troll culture.” This led him to start the RR/BAYC project where “the original BAYC images are recontextualized – illuminating truths about their origins and meanings as well as the nature of Web3 – the power of NFTs to change meaning, establish provenance and evade censorship. “RR/BAYC uses satire and appropriation to protest and educate people regarding The Bored Ape Yacht Club and the framework of NFTs. The work is an extension of and in the spirit of other artists who have worked within the field of appropriation art.” The new counter filing looks to dismiss Yuga Labs’ claims, as well as push for damages due to emotional distress. Whether the Twitch stars will be called up to court though remains to be seen.

xQc has hilarious response after Logic roasts him on stream – Dexerto
xQc has hilarious response after Logic roasts him on stream Twitch: xQcTwitch streamer xQc had the best response after rapper Logic declined his invitation to a chess match live on stream, having mistakenly thought him to be the winner of the PogsChamps chess tournament. Felix Lengyel a.k.a. xQc has been absolutely crushing Twitch stats this year, proving to be the most popular, and the highest-earning, streamer of 2020. Despite his success, one area where he is most certainly lacking is chess skills – look no further than his 6-move loss to critikalMoist during the first PogChamps tournament as evidence of that. In bizarre circumstances though, xQc’s chess skills earned him an unexpected roast from rapper Logic, live on stream, sparking a hilarious interaction between the streamers. xQc has been trying his hand at online chess recently, and has played with multiple different people online. Keen to see if Logic was willing to participate in a game, Lengyel sent him an invite, and hopped over to his stream to watch the reaction. But, the reaction wasn’t quite what he expected. “F**k that dude, man. xQc wants to play with me, but he was Pog champion wasn’t he? F**k that dude, man. F**k xQc,” Logic joked. Logic had got his wires a little crossed, as Felix actually placed last in Chess.com’s PogsChamps tournament back in June, and again in August. It’s safe to say xQc was bewildered, unsure of what caused the seemingly unprompted roast. https://youtu.be/58zkzN0OpTk Though xQc had a hilarious comeback of his own, calling him a “strawberry looking a** man,” going on to say “what does he mean? What did I do?” In the background, Logic continues with “he’s about to smack me up man,” as Felix looks on completely baffled as to how he’d been confused for an unrivaled chess player. It’s clear the jokes were all in good fun, as Logic quickly asked his team to follow xQc on Twitter so the pair could DM. Fans were loving the hilarious exchange between Felix and Logic, with one of the clips uploaded to YouTube gaining over 400,000 views in only a couple of days.

xQc & Hasan called out for “stealing content” with react videos – Dexerto
xQc & Hasan called out for “stealing content” with react videos Twitter/xQc/HasanTwitch superstars xQc and Hasan are under fire for “stealing” YouTube content by posting their reactions to videos. Reaction videos have become extremely popular, with big creators watching others’ content while sharing their own opinions – oftentimes getting more views than the original videos they react to. While this trend can bring a lot attention to smaller channels, it can also potentially have the opposite effect, where creators lose out on potential views. Things reached a boiling point when xQc and Hasan both reacted to a video by YouTuber ‘LEMMiNO,’ prompting many to call out streamers for offering little output. Twitch streamers clammed for constant reaction videos In a series of tweets going viral across X, users took aim at xQc and Hasan – even going as far as calling for YouTube to ban them. “Hasan and others will watch a creators hour long documentary with little commentary and take a ten-minute bathroom break as the video continues to play,” ‘LegacyKillaHD’ slammed. “I swear, we’re close to another giant copyright case happening in the not so distant future because of sh*t like this.” He further said it was “depressing” to see a highly edited video being dwarfed in views by streamers uploading their reactions with stolen thumbnails. “This is outright theft,” another user blasted. “Gotta start banning them. I’m so serious,” demanded another, who urged YouTube to crack down on reaction videoss. Gotta start banning them. I’m so serious pic.twitter.com/TdrCTvnHzX — JericoFr (@FrJerico) July 27, 2023 “Youtube should bring a new law that reaction videos/streams revenue goes directly to the content creator they are watching,” suggested someone else. For his part, xQc has addressed backlash to his reaction content before. In 2022, he hit out at criticism for his react videos, claiming that others don’t get attacked for doing the same thing. So far, YouTube hasn’t responded to calls to take action against react content, but it will be interesting to see how things play out in the future if enough creators speak out about the situation.

xQc grosses out Twitch viewers while finally cleaning his room – Dexerto
xQc grosses out Twitch viewers while finally cleaning his room Twitch: xQcIn a recent Twitch stream, Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel got his viewers to help him clean his room and do his laundry. However all it really did was disgust them, showing off half-eaten food and rubbish littered all over the place. xQc is one of the most popular streamers on Twitch. With his more than 11 million followers, he rakes in millions of dollars a month. But apparently money cannot buy you life skills. Anyone who has watched xQc stream knows, typically, his room is quite messy. It’s a topic that is brought up on stream and commented on frequently. And after months of his chat bringing up the issue, xQc finally decided to clean up his room live on stream. During his November 30 stream, xQc decided to do some chores and finally clean up his room. His chat supporting him along and commenting on the state of his room when certain things were pulled out and in view of the camera. During the cleaning stream, multiple takeaway cups, half-eaten pizza and other food items were found and placed into a black rubbish bag. xQc’s chat commented on things like “I see mould” and “gross” while the juicer warlord was cleaning up his room. One Reddit user posted a clip of xQc doing his laundry, captioning the clip “xQc, 27 years old, does his laundry for the first time by himself with help from the Twitch chat.” The video shows xQc throwing clothes into a washing machine and asking his chat if he has put in the correct cleaning products and if he is doing it right. It does show while these internet superstars can capture audiences and rake in fat stacks of cash, life skills are just as important.

xQc has hilarious reaction to being called “cute” by female CSGO player – Dexerto
xQc has hilarious reaction to being called “cute” by female CSGO player Popular Overwatch pro and Twitch streamer Felix “xQc” Lengyel was confronted with an unexpected interaction with a fellow gamer during a CS:GO session to kick off the New Year. Touted for his over-the-top reactions and impressive Overwatch skills, xQc is a popular face on Twitch, even making it into YouTube king PewDiePie’s 2019 YouTube Rewind compilation. With this in mind, it comes in as little surprise that xQc nearly blew a gasket after a female player hopped on the mic during a game of CS:GO on January 1, 2020. It was obvious that xQc was not expecting a feminine voice on the other end of the line, after she tentatively greeted him over voice chat, prompting him to end his ongoing story and take a few serious blinks in surprise. “Hi?” he replied, breaking out into a grin. However, their conversation took a turn that no one expected, with the player going on to flirt with xQc by calling him “cute.” “Are you that streamer?” she continued. “You’re like, really cute.” “Wait — who said what?” xQc asked, obviously confused. “What happened?” “I said you were cute,” she clarified. “How do you know I’m cute?” xQc challenged. “I know who you are,” she answered. “Nice, thanks,” xQc replied. “You’re cute too, I guess.” Their conversation didn’t end there, as the player went on to offer up her Twitter account as proof of her attractiveness. “Are you hot?” xQc joked. “Yeah I am, you want my Twitter?” While the two went on to talk about anime, amongst other banter, it doesn’t look like they “hit it off,” so to speak, with xQc even being a bit snarky throughout the rest of their game — but his reaction to being teamed with a female player marks a hilarious start to the New Year. This interaction also follows xQc’s accidental leak of his own IP address, which delayed his New Year’s Eve stream and even prompted a frustrating back-and-forth with his internet provider over the issue, which has since been resolved.

xQc grosses out Pokelawls after finding Amouranth’s hair still in his room – Dexerto
xQc grosses out Pokelawls after finding Amouranth’s hair still in his room Twitch: xQcTwitch stars Pokelawls and Jesse were left screaming after discovering a few locks of Amouranth’s hair on the floor of xQc’s streaming room. The Streamer Awards took place on March 11, bringing a slew of the net’s top content creators to Los Angeles to celebrate the best and brightest from their fold. Of course, this resulted in a slew of sudden collaborations between high-profile names in the area — xQc and Amouranth being one of them. On March 10, Amo met up with xQc for a joint stream, where the two reacted to funny TikTok clips and even poked fun at xQc’s bold fashion choices. However, one of the most notable parts of the stream was when Amouranth received a spontaneous haircut from xQc’s stylist. Although she just got a trim and a little feathering on her ends, it looks like there was enough hair left on the floor that a few strands got missed. Pokelawls freaks out after finding Amouranth’s hair in xQc’s room A day or two later, fellow streamers Pokelawls and JesseSMFI came over to xQc’s place to take over his Twitch broadcast when they discovered something that disgusted them on the floor. “Amouranth’s hair was cut, and now it’s starting to get to the point where it’s starting to decompose,” Jesse explained. “And it’s starting to weave. It’s weaving.” Pokelawls came up to the camera to show off a chunk of Amouranth’s hair he’d found on the floor, sparking a hilarious reaction from Jesse — who absolutely wanted no part in Poke’s stunt. “Why are you picking it up?” he screamed before smacking the hair out of Poke’s hand. “Put it down!” Chatters couldn’t help but laugh at the streamers’ over-the-top reaction to Amouranth’s hair, some of which claimed her fans would pay “thousands” for. It’s true that Amouranth has amassed quite the business empire for herself — the streamer even sold her own farts in jars last year, which sold for a thousand dollars a pop.

xQc and Gordon Ramsay may be teaming up on Twitch and everyone is losing their minds – Dexerto
xQc and Gordon Ramsay may be teaming up on Twitch and everyone is losing their minds Twitch: xQc / Instagram: Gordon RamsayFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is on the verge of pulling off the streaming crossover of the year just days into 2022 after celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay revealed he wants to learn more about Twitch after a name-drop on his new TV series. Twitch’s latest streaming meta — watching cooking shows — has seen Gordon Ramsay dominate the Amazon-owned platform, all without his knowledge. xQc has been at the forefront of what has become a fairly controversial Twitch meta, sometimes watching as many as a dozen episodes of Hell’s Kitchen, Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, and other cooking shows during broadcasts. Some want him banned for the TV streams, others are more impressed, and Lengyel’s numbers have never been higher. And now he’s been handed the chance to take it to another level. On January 2, xQc was able to extend an offer to Ramsay: team up for a huge Twitch streaming collab — one that might break the platform just days into 2022. Lengyel’s opportunity arose on January 2. During a new ‘Next Level Chef’ episode, one of Ramsay’s contestants revealed they were a Twitch streamer, sparking a very gruff “What the f**k is Twitch?” from the star cook. The streamer/contestant, Triciaisabirdy, posted the clip on Twitter. The hilarious clip — just six seconds long — quickly went viral across social media, raking in more than 53.8k views and 4.6k likes at the time of publication. “What the Fuck is Twitch” -Gordon Ramsay @GordonRamsay @Twitch Everyone watching from twitch: ☹️ pic.twitter.com/aELiN8Ixrv — triciaisabirdy (@triciaisabirdy) January 3, 2022 The tweet exploded so quickly that Gordon Ramsay himself saw the growing Twitter comments, and dished out a cheeky response of his own: “Hey Twitch, can I get a lesson on what you are??” xQc saw his chance, and dropped a bold reply. “I’ll give you a free rundown,” the Twitch star said, angling for a chance to team up with the British icon. “Call me on my cell. America’s next master streamer?” I’ll give you a free rundown. Call me on my cell. Americas next master streamer? PauseChamp — xQc (@xQc) January 3, 2022 On-stream, Lengyel admitted to his Twitch fans the comment was “a little cringe,” but explained that “sometimes you have to be a little bit of a cringelord” to get ahead — or in this case, pull off the year’s biggest streaming collab. Incredibly, xQc’s “cringe” reply worked; Ramsay responded, hinting at the potential Twitch team-up. “You mean Next Level Streamer,” he wrote. The potential combo has the internet melting down too. #NextLevelChef is now trending, and Ramsay’s replies have an immense 55.2k likes between them. Ramsay even took it a step further too, poking fun at himself: the 55-year-old’s Twitter bio now reads “Always near food… Doesn’t know what Twitch is.” You mean Next Level Streamer 😉 #NextLevelChef https://t.co/bB6dlNTjSP — Gordon Ramsay (@GordonRamsay) January 3, 2022 As of publication, xQc and Gordon Ramsay’s little back-and-forth hasn’t gone beyond that, but considering Lengyel’s got the oven all warmed up, it would be a major surprise if he didn’t make a play to get the star chef on-stream. If they do team up, Dexerto will be the first to let you know. Either way, expect to see far more Ramsay on xQc’s stream in the early weeks of 2022; the French-Canadian star is refusing to nip his show-watching streams in the bud, and instead claims Twitch can’t do anything about them despite DMCA warnings hanging over his head in January already. “I don’t think it’s an issue,” xQc said in response to backlash. “It’s the wild west [on Twitch]. No one knows what’s going to stick, and what’s not going to stick.”

xQc got to “choose” if he wanted equity in Kick as part of landmark streaming deal – Dexerto
xQc got to “choose” if he wanted equity in Kick as part of landmark streaming deal Twitch: xQcxQc has revealed that when negotiating his contract to sign with Kick, he was offered equity in the up-and-coming streaming platform. 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 the New York Times, we know it’s official that xQc has signed a non-exclusive deal that has him bringing home more than $70 million dollars over the next two years. The non-exclusive deal will allow xQc to continue streaming on Twitch but will officially bring one of the most iconic streamers over to rival platform Kick in a groundbreaking partnership. In the aftermath of this mega deal, fans and fellow streamers have been curious as to how it came about as well as if Kick offered xQc any equity in the company. After all, Kick is still largely a new space and having someone like xQc on board is a huge business move. And we’ve certainly heard rumblings of others being given equity to jump across. During his most recent Twitch stream, xQc discussed his blockbuster deal with Kick. Fellow content creator Pokimane asked him if he was offered any equity from the company when negotiating his new deal. When xQc initially seems hesitant to answer, openly pondering “can I talk about this?” he then quickly opened up about the deal and discussed what the ins and outs of his negotiations with Kick entailed. xQc reveals he was offered equity for streaming platform Kick “I got to choose whether I wanted some or not,” admitted xQc. The streamer then expanding 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.” Despite this, xQc never truly made it clear whether or not he does in fact have equity in Kick. However, his answer does confirm that it was a point of discussion and something that was brought up. If he’s of the mindset to help grow the platform moving forward, having a slice of the pie would no doubt sweeten the pot, on top of his guaranteed $70 million. We’ll be sure to keep you updated if and when xQc does give a definitive answer as to whether or not he has equity with the new Twitch rival.

xQc goes viral with hilarious CSGO fail sabotaging his teammates – Dexerto
xQc goes viral with hilarious CSGO fail sabotaging his teammates Twitch: xQc/ ValveTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel was left red-faced after a particularly embarrassing moment during a CS:GO stream. xQc is no stranger to capturing funny moments during his livestreams which have left his viewers in hysterics, be it because of him saying something funny or doing something completely unexpected in-game. Whether it’s his fans trolling Fox News into giving him a fake high school graduation message or being pranked by his viewers during a sleeping stream, xQc’s streams regularly have fans laughing. His most recent comedic moment came during his stream on June 4 while playing CS:GO. The streamer managed to pull the wool over his fellow player’s eyes at the most intense point during the game and to brilliant effect. xQc tricks CS:GO teammate on stream xQc was playing CS:GO alongside his fellow streamer ‘Jesse’ when he decided to play a prank on his teammate by playing dumb. While on a call together, Jesse decided to hide behind some crates for shelter as the duo planned their attack on their enemies in a bunker. However, as xQc launched a Molotov aimed toward the bunker’s small window, he narrowly missed his target. As a result, the grenade struck Jesse who believed it was the work of his rivals: “I just got mollied. I think they mollied me.” Yet, rather than own up to his misplay, xQc continued his charade with his teammate. After Jesse asked xQc where his Molotov hit, he responded: “I didn’t throw it yet.” He then proceeded to throw a flash and, once again, hit his teammate – and to top it all off, he then instantly kills another teammate with a headshot. Jesse was subsequently confused as to how his rivals could possibly know his precise location and get a perfect strike against him. “Okay, I’m blind they just threw a f**king perfect flash at me,” Jesse screamed. “These guys know right where I’m at!” The clip went viral across social media picking up 18k upvotes on Reddit, as of writing, with some fans calling it “one of the funniest clips” they’ve seen in a long time. Meanwhile, many more just shared their “love” for Jesse.

xQc goes viral for Narcos meme following Twitch ban – Dexerto
xQc goes viral for Narcos meme following Twitch ban Twitter: xQc / NetflixFollowing his week-long Twitch ban, top streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has gone viral for recreating the famous Narcos meme on his first day off of the platform. [jwplayer G7X9bhMt] After controversy surrounding a Fall Guys Twitch Rivals tournament, in which xQc was accused of stream sniping so as to have a larger impact on the outcome of the tournament, the Canadian was handed a 7-day ban, despite being the highest-earning, most watched creator on the platform in the last month and for much of the year. He also faces a six-month ban from Twitch Rivals events, and had to forfeit his GlitchCon prize money as a result. Without his stream, though, xQc was clearly at a bit of a loss as to what to do on Thursday, November 19, and decided to keep his fans entertained in a new way. Despite his stream sniping and subsequent ban drawing negative reactions from some streamers, such as shroud and Tyler1, xQc was only looking at the bright side: an opportunity for more content. Following in the footsteps of the famous Narcos meme, which sees Pablo Escobar looking inexplicably sad and bored, xQc gave his fans exactly that. In a series of images posted to Twitter, we see xQc reenacting the Narcos meme, looking solemn and desolate without his thousands of Twitch viewers supporting him through a stream. Within 10 hours, at the time of writing, the tweet has gone absolutely viral, with fans and critics alike responding. He has received almost 10,000 retweets, with that number fast increasing, as well as over 150,000 likes and counting. Even when outside the realms of his livestream, xQc clearly knows how to get the crowd going, which is what makes his Twitch channel so popular in the first place.

xQc goes on bizarre rant about boobs and objectification in video games – Dexerto
xQc goes on bizarre rant about boobs and objectification in video games Bandai Entertainment/Twitch: xQcCanadian Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is never one to refrain from sharing his opinion, even on controversial topics, which he exemplified with a strange rant about objectification in games. xQc is prone to hilarious outbursts and rages on stream, known for slamming his desk when angry, sometimes even with his feet, as he expresses his frustrations with playing. Despite starting in esports as a professional Overwatch player, the Canadian frequently dips into other games on his Twitch channel. While streaming Batman: Arkham City on August 7, he launched into a rant regarding female objectification in video games. “Yes, games sort of objectify women according to mainstream media,” he started. “But as a player or streamer I don’t give a fuck. I don’t give a fuck. The product is delivered to be consumed in a certain way and I’m consuming all of it.” Essentially, Lengyel seems to arguing that if women are objectified in video games, it is for a purpose that was intended by the game’s developers. xQc quickly took his rant to bizarre places, with the incredible eccentricity we’re used to seeing from the 23 year old. “When I see tits in games,” he yelled. “I get hard, way harder than I should be. Yep, and I don’t give a fuck, I love it.” He concluded his rant by reiterating his earlier point, that “game devs want me to consume it this way, that’s how I’m consuming it.” The debate about objectification in games The objectification of women in video games is not a particularly new topic of discussion. Many publications and players have been critical of the minor role women are given in some video games, often being the butt of jokes or simply included as love interests. For example, Gamespot’s review of GTA V criticizes the game for having “little room for women except to portray them as strippers, prostitutes, long-suffering wives, humorless girlfriends and goofy, new-age feminists we’re meant to laugh at.” On the other hand, there are plenty examples of strong, leading female characters, such as Ellie from The Last of Us, Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn, or the legendary Lara Croft. While xQc takes a typically hyperbolic, humorous view on the matter, it continues a long-running debate regarding the depiction of women in video games, as well as one surrounding a lack of female protagonists.

xQc goes on explosive rant as he brutally roasts LA: “Sh**hole place” – Dexerto
xQc goes on explosive rant as he brutally roasts LA: “Sh**hole place” Twitch: xQcNo matter how far removed from the state he finds himself, xQc just can’t seem to let go of his utter hatred for Los Angeles, as the Twitch streamer found himself in the midst of another heated rant as he lashed out at the locale and everyone in it. Twitch star xQc has had a somewhat troubled history with LA. Despite plans to reside there throughout 2022 with ambitions of big-budget studio productions, it only took a matter of weeks for the juicer to realize it wasn’t the right fit for him. “I realize now that city life is just really trash,” he said back in 2021. “City life just sucks. I thought that I knew that from when I played in the Overwatch League, but it’s just not for me.” As a result of his general disdain along with a multitude of tech issues, xQc quickly found himself moving back out of LA early the following year after he reached his ‘breaking point.’ Having been out of the state ever since, that passionate hatred hasn’t diminished as he still holds a grudge to this day. In the midst of his latest broadcast on February 15, 2023, he once again got on the subject and unloaded a fiery tirade full of expletives. “LA is a rat, s***hole, f***ing place,” he began, before forgetting how to inhale while stringing together a record number of insults. “It smells bad, taxes are high, it’s trash, snob people, dogs*** traffic, smog, cancer, rats, rodents, gerbils, mice, opossums, dirty ass motherf***ers, people who smell bad, bad hair cuts, people with no jobs doing nothing with their lives like me, absolute f***ing bumlord c***lords, empty, soulless andys, void of energy andys, people doing absolutely nothing but sucking everyone’s life out of them, people that are in pure misery.” Finally remembering to breathe, he capped it all off with one final message: “F*** them all and f*** LA hoes.” Clearly, he hasn’t turned a new leaf and that pure disgust for the state remains as strong today as it was in years prior. Despite being good friends with many LA locals, it’s appears that it’s just not the place for him at this point in time. But given xQc’s own penchant for ‘disgusting’ living conditions, he’s admittedly not all too different from those he’s hurling insults at in LA.

xQc goes off on donator after they troll his RDR2 gameplay – Dexerto
xQc goes off on donator after they troll his RDR2 gameplay Popular Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel couldn’t hold back his fury after one donator set him off by criticizing his choices during a key decision in Red Dead Redemption 2. Ever since he stepped away from professional Overwatch and focused solely on streaming, xQc has become one of the most popular streamers on Twitch – even getting himself into pole position as the most-watched channel for the end of 2019. While fans may flock to watch for his interesting opinions and hilarious gameplay, it’s his signature rage that creates some of his best highlights. They can become even better, though, when his viewers try to make themselves a part of the broadcast and are on the receiving end of a trademark rant from the Canadian. Unsurprisingly, that was the case during his January 13 stream as xQc finally reached the conclusion of Red Dead Redemption 2. However, the streamer and his portions of his chat were at odds over the games ending, even though he’d just got through the ‘good’ side of things. One viewer took the debate over the line as they donated to say that xQc was “low brained” and said he had “no values or virtues” and was “blind to value in life.” So, the streamer fired back. “Oh, I played the game and I clicked on one of two options, therefore, I should be killed? In real life?” xQc yelled, before picking up his monitor and shaking it violently. “And, I have no values or virtues? This is why plays your f**king game of f**king stories. This is why we don’t play those here. F**k, man. So f**king stupid man. This chats zero IQ, I’m so f**king triggered.” Even though Red Dead Redemption ticked over from its main story to the epilogue, xQc and his chat were still going at each other, as the streamer bit back at further claims about his morals. At the end of the day, it’s another example of how his viewers do try their best to set xQc off for their own entertainment, even if they don’t believe what they’re actually saying.

xQc gives his “unbiased” review of Pokimane’s Midnight Mini Cookies – Dexerto
xQc gives his “unbiased” review of Pokimane’s Midnight Mini Cookies Twitch: xQcxQc just tried Pokimane’s first product under the Myna Snacks brand, her Midnight Mini Cookies, and gave his thorough, “unbiased” review while live on stream. Pokimane was one of the latest content creators to launch her own product line. Following in the footsteps of KSI and Logan Paul with Prime Hydration, and MrBeast with Feastables, the influencer unveiled her healthy snack brand to the world on November 14. Right away, however, Myna Snacks came under fire for various reasons. From accusations of drop-shipping similar Costco products, to criticism of the pricing for her first batch of cookies, it’s been a turbulent time for the online figure. Calling out “broke” viewers only added fuel to the fire too, with a range of fellow streamers lashing out in response. Now looking to give the product a fair shake days removed from its controversy-riddled launch, xQc tried the Midnight Mini Cookies during his latest stream, offering up what he claims to be an “unbiased review”. As a self-described cookie fanatic and “snack fan” who “eats cookies all the time,” xQc wanted to give a thorough analysis. “I think feedback is very important,” he said before the first taste test. “It’s not hurtful.” After a few minutes of building suspense, he finally dove into the first bag and gave his initial thoughts, prefacing with “It has pros, it has cons.” “The initial taste…doesn’t taste like much. Tastes like an Oreo cookie, but worse. Not as bitter. But then, the taste kicks in and it’s not terrible. “I’m not being rude. It’s not great, not terrible. This [is] a cookie texture I’ve never had before. It’s a little bit odd.” Breaking it all down into stages, xQc then gave his biggest point of criticism, claiming “The aftertaste kind of leaves me upset. It annoys me.” xQc begins his review of Pokimane’s cookies at the 1:41:50 mark below. Soon bringing his brother in for another ‘unbiased’ verdict, Nicolas Lengyel was equally unmoved by the new cookies. “It’s like a brownie but drier. I wouldn’t buy it.” Finally giving a conclusive score, xQc went straight down the middle, slapping a “5 out of 10” label on Pokimane’s first snack product. “Feedback is always important,” he then reiterated. I think there are improvements to be made.” His thoughts mostly align with our own 3 out of 5 review at Dexerto, wherein, we said: “Are they tasty? Absolutely. Are they healthier compared to other leading cookie brands? Yes. Are they worth it at $7 a bag? Probably not.”

xQc gives Overwatch players honest advice on how to win Competitive matches – Dexerto
xQc gives Overwatch players honest advice on how to win Competitive matches xQc/Blizzard EntertainmentFelix ‘Overwatch streamers on Twitch and recently shared some sagely advice with viewers on how to come out on top in Competitive matches. Even though he doesn’t play Overwatch 24/7 like he used to, xQc still ranks as one of the most popular streamers for the game when he does log on and hop into matches. After some teammates in a match asked what xQc’s secret to success was, Felix told them to tune into his stream to find out. “Go outside” Due to his stream delay, xQc started dishing out his former Overwatch League pro knowledge to his teammates right after the match ended. “Hey teammates from my last game, it’s xQc guys,” Felix said with a smile. “Tutorial today: how to win games at hardcore rating in a hardcore timezone” Rather than continuing to play and attempting to get better at the game, xQc’s advises players to take somewhat of a different course of action. “Step one: stop queueing the game, two: quit the game, step three: look, look, look,” Felix said before turning his facecam to his PC’s power button. “This one right here, that’s the one, that’s the one right here that you’re looking for.” “It usually has a circle and a bar, you click and you hold that bitch down until it’s all black, then you go outside and stop queueing in my fucking ranked games you pussy,” xQc said, finishing his lesson for the day. A fresh new Zenyatta skin xQc unfortunately wasn’t in the Overwatch League long enough for his Twitch chat to figure out some way to make him MVP of the Inaugural season, otherwise he might be the one getting a custom skin for Winston (Coca-Cola Winston, anyone?). Instead, fans voted to make Sung-hyeon “JJoNak” Bang of the New York Excelsior MVP and Blizzard designed a brand-new Zenyatta skin especially for the honor. JJonak’s “Zen-Nakji” Legendary Zenyatta skin is now available in game until July 14 for 200 OWL tokens, so Zen mains should be sure to grab it before time runs out.

xQc gives heated explanation on why he doesn’t go out with streamers – Dexerto
xQc gives heated explanation on why he doesn’t go out with streamers Twitch star Felix ‘xQc‘ Lengyel is one of the biggest streamers out there, and he wants to keep that going, even if it means he doesn’t have much of a life outside his work. Being a successful streamer doesn’t happen overnight, and it requires a lot of things to right. The most important part of it all is putting the time in. The former Dallas Fuel pro seems to know this and is keeping the grind up. However, many fans pester xQc about why he doesn’t hang out with other streamers, Mizkif, for example, and he finally became fed up with it and exploded on his chat. “You get mad when I don’t want to go out with them,” he started. “I couldn’t give a flying f*ck about any of these f*ckers. Did I say that right? I’m gonna say it again. I could give a flying, walking rat’s f*ck about any of these f*ckers. Do you get that? Is that sinking in?” Xqc doesn’t hate his fellow streamers, so he explained why he hasn’t been as social with them. “Now, now, what I’m trying to explain to you, ok, has nothing to do with friendship or anything dude,” he said. “I’m in a spot where I don’t wanna hang out; I don’t wanna go outside, I don’t wanna go flying, I don’t wanna do sh*t, dude. I need to get my stable base back on track, and I’ll do whatever the f*ck I think is necessary to do that, and the rest is irrelevant to me.” Rising to the top of Twitch relies a lot on consistency, but streamers have to be aware of burnout. Streaming the entire week takes its toll, especially if your chat becomes toxic. Large streamers who have abandoned the platform have spoken out on the issue repeatedly. Former Twitch star Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins spoke about the toxicity in his chat, and it was one of the reasons he eventually packed up shop and moved over to Mixer. Michael ‘shroud’ Grzesiek has also talked about how his Mixer chat has been less toxic than Twitch, which has ultimately made the experience “more enjoyable” for him to stream. Xqc is a streamer who really embraces his chat and interacts with it just as much, if not more, than other streamers of his size. It hasn’t seemed to have much of an impact on him as of yet, but only time will tell if it eventually takes a toll.

xQc gives brutally honest verdict on Tesla’s Cybertruck reveal – Dexerto
xQc gives brutally honest verdict on Tesla’s Cybertruck reveal Popular Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel was left surprised by the brand-new Tesla Cybertruck after watching the big reveal alongside his legion of fans. Since leaving the Overwatch League, xQc has carved out a solid platform for himself on Twitch, at one point becoming the most subscribed to streamer ahead of Dr Disrespect, Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani, and TimTheTatMan. Thousands of fans tune in to his daily broadcasts to watch him rage at some of the games he plays, offer up opinions on whatever his chat talks about, and even watch the odd TikTok compilation. That was no different during his November 21 stream, as settled in to watch Tesla reveal their new car. His viewers urged the former Overwatch professional to watch the livestream and despite admitting that he didn’t care all that much, xQc turned it on anyway and decided to buckle in for the ride. Yet, even he couldn’t contain himself when the Cybertruck was finally revealed. As it was brought on stage, Lengyel was stunned by what he was saying. “What the f**k,” he said, before bursting out into laughter. “What the f**k is that? It looks futuristic, at least.” As his chat couldn’t stop laughing at it and mocking what they were seeing, a few believed that they were being trolled, but xQc just sat back and watched. However, he finally offered up another opinion on the vehicle’s unique look. “It just looks dumb,” he added, before comparing it to the Balenciaga clothing line. “It’s kind of like the Balenciaga approach.” When the presentation was all said and done though, the streamer seemed to have a lightbulb moment about the Cybertruck’s overall look – especially with the different truck beds it can use. “That’s pretty sick actually, he said, while browsing the order website. “I get it! The ploy was to make it look like a Rover, like SpaceX. Dude, that was the whole point!” Not everyone on Twitch was as receptive to the truck as xQc though, as Dr Disrespect and TimTheTatman got into a war of words over the reveal. Considering it’s not going to release until 2022, Twitch streamers have got plenty of time to save up money to get their hands on the $40,000 vehicle, but it’s probably unlikely we’ll see xQc livestreaming from the driver’s seat though – he doesn’t even have a license.

xQc gives advice to OTK as viewership drops and members leave – Dexerto
xQc gives advice to OTK as viewership drops and members leave Twitch: xQcxQc recently voiced his thoughts on the OTK situation and how they could change things to increase viewership on their channel. One of the biggest streamers on Twitch, xQc, recently talked about OTK’s viewership problem on his stream with suggestions of what they could do to improve. OTK, otherwise known as One True King, is an American media company that was formed in 2020. Its lineup of creators are ones like Asmongold, Mizkif, Emiru, and Sodapoppin. A number of streamers who are a part of the organization have departed in the past few months, with the most recent being BruceDropEmOff, whose channel is currently unavailable for violations. OTK’s viewership problem OTK has lost three of its streamers since mid-December. Rich Campbell was the first, forced to resign amid sexual assault allegations. Jschlatt then left two days before Christmas of his own decision. The most recent departure is BruceDropEmOff. A Twitter post on Jan 24 from his account announced that he was leaving the OTK organization. Bruce recently went on a stream with Mizkif, who has had a sexual assault case against him, and the two streamer communities did not mesh well. In a Youtube video after the event, Bruce went on his stream to talk about what had happened and how the clash of their communities began. xQc offers advice on what to do Amidst all of the things going on internally and externally with OTK, a side effect is that the channel’s viewership has gone down. In a recent xQc stream, he states that they should “double down” on their streams where they have four to six people on, and bump it up to ten or fifteen people on the stream instead. “I’ve never seen these guys generate content on their own, it’s always with a bunch of people,” xQc says in the clip. Thinking that if they have more people in their streams, it could generate more views and interactions. How OTK will move forward is unclear, as things seem to remain unsteady. However, their presence on Twitch is still strong and fans look to seeing what will be done in time.

xQc gives advice to Twitch donors asking for help with depression – Dexerto
xQc gives advice to Twitch donors asking for help with depression xQc/PixabayTwitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is one of the most popular broadcasters on the platform and, it would seem, one of the most honest too. While streaming Overwatch early in the morning on September 2, the French Canadian received a message from a viewer telling him that his streams have helped him have a better mindset during stressful times and that his chat gives him lots of love. Rather than openly taking the compliment like others probably would have, the former Overwatch League pro took this time, while queuing up for a game, to address any donor who asks for help with mental health. “Chat, I’ll tell you how it is, okay?” Lengyel said, speaking over the last of the donor’s message. “Some generic advice… I would love to give you advice, give you some juice, some power, dude. Give you some motivational shit that might have worked for me, dude.” Right away it seemed like this wasn’t going to be any typical xQc rant. “When you say shit like ‘I’m hyper depressed and it’s all dark, dude. Tell me what do do’,” the Winston main said, imitating his chat. “I wish I could help. The problem is, I can be way more damaging than I can be helpful.” Read More: xQc blasts “unplayable” Overwatch – At this moment, xQc started to slow down when he spoke – something the streamer rarely ever does unless he wants to make a point extremely clear. “With my skill set, I can’t do shit. So, whenever you feel down, you should in most cases, seek professional help and talk to people who are literally paid real life currency for what they do and have dedicated their entire lives and most of their days to help people like you,” he continued. “Not people who have dropped out of school, who have no degrees, no aspirations for anything that isn’t to play with computer screens and fucking pixels on a fucking monitor and deadass retard games.” Finally, xQc ended his monologue with one final underlying statement: “I cannot help you, dude.” While some may seem the streamer’s comments as being somewhat mean spirited, he’s not necessarily in the wrong. Everyone deals with depression their own way and while Twitch can be a good way to escape real life, most broadcasters are not certified professionals. As it turns out, some of the best advice xQc has ever given was to give none at all.

xQc gets trolled by G FUEL with box filled with tangled wires – Dexerto
xQc gets trolled by G FUEL with box filled with tangled wires Twitch: xQcOWAfter being sent a huge package from G FUEL, Twitch personality Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel decided to open it on stream – but the box opening didn’t exactly go to plan. Although Twitch is filled with a wide variety of entertaining personalities, you’ll be hard-pressed to find anyone like xQc. The immensely popular streamer has a huge and dedicated fanbase which has only grown since he started playing on the NoPixel GTA RP server. Of course, like many big streamers and content creators, he has various companies that offer him sponsorship deals. One of which is G FUEL, with the company even designing him his very own flavor and bottle. The parcel was supposed to contain his product so he could show it off. However, the company couldn’t help themselves with an annoying addition to the delivery. xQc gets trolled in G FUEL box opening During his April 6 stream, xQc decided he was going to open the massive package he’d been sent. Although he knew it would contain his very own flavored drink, he didn’t realize the company had added a few extra items. After opening the top of the box, xQc saw that they had included a note and read it out to the stream. “Sieve through a bunch of fricken wires, the juice collector box, and juice shaker cup… lastly enjoy the shirt with the picture.” Despite the warning that it was going to contain something strange, the former Overwatch pro player clearly didn’t expect the huge pile of tangled wires that were included. Read More: Top 20 most followed Twitch streamers – “Holy s**t, dude, bunch of f***ing wires no s***t, they weren’t kidding, bunch of f***ing wires.” Luckily, although the package looked like a mess to open, it also included xQc’s unique G FUEL flavor and bottle design. It was obvious from the moment he saw his own flavor that he loved the packaging. Simply called ‘The Juice’, xQc’s unique flavor is a combination of watermelon and citrus with a pink and green box design. “Oh damn dude, it actually looks really good, the juice dude!” The stunt made for a hilarious moment on a stream, and was a great way for xQc to reveal his very own G FUEL flavor. It’s pretty obvious the streamer was incredibly pleased with the design, so we’ll have to see how popular it is among his fans. After being banned from the NoPixel again, it is likely xQc will continue streaming Minecraft content until the mods grant him access to the GTA server again.

xQc pulls in a surprising amount of viewers while playing Minecraft – Dexerto
xQc pulls in a surprising amount of viewers while playing Minecraft When streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel got his main account suspended from Overwatch on Friday he dramatically declared he was “done with the game” and proceeded to play vastly different games on stream. During his suspension, xQc has managed to keep his fans and community engaged even if he’s playing Minecraft instead of Overwatch. Reddit user matheusvs pointed out on the OverwatchTMZ subreddit that , at one point, xQc’s channel had a total of about 27,000 viewers, 2,000 more than the entire Overwatch Twitch directory had at around 25,000 viewers. https://www.reddit.com/r/OverwatchTMZ/comments/9y0ctb/after_being_banned_from_overwatch_xqc_is_having/ The Canadian streamer was previously handed a 15-day ban in August before the start of the Overwatch World Cup, this time the suspension is for more than three weeks, 24 days in total. Some people, like Team Canada coach Justin ‘Jayne’ Conroy, have come to the streamer’s defense after he got banned. “I’d love to see Blizzard working with xQc instead of banning him, especially with their new streamer project,” Jayne wrote on Twitter. To be clear, the clip of me saying “”xQc is the only reason Overwatch isn’t dead”” comes from me reading a donation. That being said, he shouldn’t have been banned at all. I’d love to see Blizzard working with xQc instead of banning him, especially with their new streamer project. — Jayne (@AskJayne) November 17, 2018 xQc managed to get more viewers than Overwatch on Saturday November 17 at the same time Contenders matches were happening, which some used as an example of Blizzard not caring about anything other than Overwatch League. The length of the ban, almost a month in this case, means we won’t be seeing xQc play Overwatch until mid-December, if he decides to go back at all.

xQc gets Overwatch account suspended, says he’s done with Overwatch – Dexerto
xQc gets Overwatch account suspended, says he’s done with Overwatch Popular live streamer and former professional Overwatch player Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has said that he is “kind of done” with the game after having his account suspended again. Previously given a 15 day ban from Overwatch in August 2018, shortly before he played for Canada at the Overwatch World Cup, xQc has once again had his account suspended this time for 24 days. Last time, it was for a report of abusive chat, which xQc played down as “banter” – on this occasion the reason for his ban is unclear, but it is rumored to be similar to his ban for toxicity previously. After discovering he had been suspended, xQc says that he didn’t even receive a warning, which is what usually happens when you are banned for toxic behavior. “Normally they give you a warning, if you talk shit too much and it says like ‘you’ve been reported a lot for talking shit’ and then you get banned. I didn’t get warned, but let’s be real, we’ve been pretty toxic about the game.” After letting the news sink in, xQc weighed up whether he would come back and continue to play Overwatch as his main game after his suspension is up. “I don’t think I want to be a part of it anymore and give it all my energy and all my passion for it.” He says, closing “I think I’m kind of done with it. I think I’m kind of done.” As for what he will play and stream instead, xQc says he will likely move into variety streaming full time, where he streams any type of game, especially new releases. Many other former professional players in a particular game have taken the same route, and many of the most popular streamers on Twitch are variety streamers, including big names such as ‘LIRIK’ and ‘shroud’. Despite his roots and background in Overwatch, much of xQc’s fan base watches the streamer for his own personality, rather than the game specifically he is playing, so his popularity isn’t likely to diminish even he moves on from Overwatch permanently. It is another example of disciplinary action taken against xQc by Blizzard, after his multiple in-game bans and his suspension from the Overwatch League, which ultimately led to him being release by the Dallas Fuel.

xQc gets embarrassed as maids pick up trash in his streaming room while live – Dexerto
xQc gets embarrassed as maids pick up trash in his streaming room while live Twitch: xQcxQc admitted to his chat on stream that he felt embarrassed and shy of the mess he’d left after maids entered the room to clean up after him. Having a messy house can often become a bit overwhelming and sometimes it’s helpful to have an extra set of hands (or two) to get the job done and everything reorganized. Canadian streamer Félix Lengyel, better known as ‘xQc’ online, seems to have found the solution to a cluttered house by hiring maids to help him keep on top of everything. Notorious for his “disgusting” stream setup messiness, it seems a helping hand was needed. But he was left embarrassed when the maids came into the room he was streaming from on August 7, confessing to his chat that he was too shy to socialize due to the amount of trash they had to pick up for him. Pausing the video he’d been watching, xQc fell silent as the maids cleaned behind him, typing a message to his chat to explain his sudden change in behavior. “Normally I’m not like embarrassed chat, so like, I’m more social and chill [sic],” the streamer insisted. “But this time there’s a lot of f****** trash, holy f***.” With his fingers tapping against the keyboard the only sound to be heard, the awkward silence was near deafening. “I’m like, actually shy,” xQc admitted, apologising to the chat. “They’ve been cleaning for years. I [don’t] even know [what] to say.” When one of the maids glanced in the direction of xQc’s stream, he quickly closed his confession to the chat. Continuing to play the video, xQc tried to casually hide his noticeable embarrassment by shielding his face with his hand. Something tells us, he might just prepare a little more in advance next time he hires the extra help. For all the latest entertainment news, be sure to check out our page here.

xQc gets instant karma after claiming he was “rolling” horror game – Dexerto
xQc gets instant karma after claiming he was “rolling” horror game Twitch star Felix ‘xQc‘ Lengyel received some instant karma after claiming that he was “rolling” indie horror game The Night Ripper. xQc is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch, drawing in thousands of viewers thanks to his exciting variety of content and entertaining rants. Felix started off streaming Overwatch as he played the game professionally, but exploded in popularity after his retirement. He often gets cocky when things start to go well in new games, but this time he was punished for it almost immediately, and as it turns out, he wasn’t “rolling” it at all. The Canadian was trying out indie horror game The Night Ripper during a stream on December 23. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until he got a little too confident – at which point, it all went downhill. “Holy sh*t, we’re rolling this game, we’re slapping it” he exclaimed as he attempted to cross between two rooftops. As he was halfway through his character dropped their purse, losing some important keys and setting the ex-Overwatch pro back. Unsure what to do, xQc tried to look for his keys, starting down the side of the building. However, he hilariously managed to make things even worse – creeping too close to the edge and tumbling down to the ground below to his death and losing a significant amount of progress he had made. His chat absolutely loved it, spamming laughing emojis and mocking him as he was hit by some instant karma. Meanwhile, the Canadian just uttered a confused “What?” He then had to restart after losing so much of the ground he had made up while playing, and unsurprisingly did not end up lasting much longer in the game as he failed to progress, likely regretting being so cocky earlier on. Don’t expect the streamer to change though, and you can guarantee he’ll be back boasting about how good he is at games in the near future.

xQc gets “baited” by fireworks and it almost ends in disaster – Dexerto
xQc gets “baited” by fireworks and it almost ends in disaster Twitch: EsfandTVA harmless 4th July celebration almost ended in disaster after xQc got a little too close to some fireworks on-stream. The moment was caught on Esfand’s stream during a fireworks celebration on the 4th of July, America’s Independence Day. The event featured several other streamers, including ExtraEmily and Nmplol. The celebration became a bit riskier when xQc, one of the biggest streamers in the world, took one step too far toward some fireworks that he thought had died. 4th July fireworks “bait” xQc into getting too close Despite several warnings from Esfand that the fireworks were a “multi-phase” package, xQc still walked up to the explosives. The repeated shouts of “no, no, no, no!” from his co-streamers apparently weren’t enough to sway him. As xQc approached the fireworks, they leapt back into life with very good comedic timing, sending xQc running back to safety. It was a good thing he moved, too, because the fireworks threw sparks and smoke right where he’d been standing a few seconds earlier. However, xQc didn’t seem fazed by the encounter, and he had a smile on his face the whole time, saying: “Oh my god, I almost got baited!” For more news and updates on xQc, check out his response to fans who don’t like his new relationship.

xQc freaks out and slams desk with feet after missing ‘perfect’ shot – Dexerto
xQc freaks out and slams desk with feet after missing ‘perfect’ shot Popular Overwatch, Apex Legends, or even ‘rigged’ levels of Crash Bandicoot. xQc regularly finds ways to entertain fans with these rages and he took it up a notch during a session of Fortnite Battle Royale. xQc tries his hand at Battle Royale games The former Dallas Fuel pro has taken to Fortnite Arena Mode in recent days, streaming it on a regular basis – even if it does cause him to flip out. It happened again on April 18 as the streamer was ripped apart by an enemy player who was quicker on the draw than he was. After being killed inside of Dusty Divot, xQc freaked out in his typically hilarious fashion. He took off his headphones, rolled his chair back, and jumped up before slamming his feet down onto his desk. “Ah, Dude!” he screamed after realizing what he had just done. “How does that not hit? It was perfect. It was perfect!” It took a few moments for xQc to gather himself as the streamer just looked directly down his camera with a blank stare on his face, bamboozled by what had just occurred. xQc’s not-so ‘perfect’ shot However, on review, it’s quite clear to see that xQc’s ‘perfect’ shot wasn’t even close as he thought – as his Shotgun’s crosshair didn’t even line-up with the enemy player. Fortunately, considering the time he has put into Epic Games’ popular title in recent days, xQc might learn from this mistake and use it to improve his game moving forward. Doing so might just save him a little time, and possibly money, instead of finding creative new ways to slam his desk in anger.

xQc frustrated after police show up at his home again – Dexerto
xQc frustrated after police show up at his home again Twitch: xQcProminent Twitch streamer xQc was left visibly upset after learning that police had shown up to his second home yet again after they’d already been called to that same house the night before. Twitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has been undergoing a slew of eyebrow-raising incidents over the past several weeks. Recently, the streamer abruptly ended a live broadcast, implying that his ex-partner, Adept, had entered his house without giving him a heads-up. The ex-couple have been undergoing a separation for the past several months — a breakup rife with court orders reportedly preventing xQc from speaking out about their split on stream. That’s not all; on June 7, xQc posted a shocking video to Twitter where he sarcastically said he “loves owning a nice house and being able to live in it peacefully.” Near the end of the video, a police car could be seen with its lights flashing outside his home, as well as a police officer standing out front. xQc says police showed up to home again after visit the night before Things didn’t calm down for the Twitch streamer, though. The very next day, xQc claimed that law enforcement had shown up to his second home yet again — but this time, he wasn’t too keen on going over to investigate the trouble. xQc broke the news while watching Summer Game Fest during a broadcast on June 8. “Dude, the police are at my other f*ckin’ house again,” he said. “I don’t give a f*ck. I’m not doing anything. I don’t care what happens anymore. I don’t give a f*ck anymore.” It’s clear that xQc has had enough of the drama, although fans aren’t exactly sure about what’s going on at present. This latest news comes after Adept posted several photos seemingly taken with xQc shortly after he posted his Twitter video showing the police car. In the pics, fans could spot xQc, as well as Adept’s hand wearing a ring. xQc seemed to claim that he’d slept over at the house after getting a call from someone “pleading for safety” because “cars were going around the house.” This is, presumably, when Adept took those photos, which she posted to Instagram. That’s not all; xQc later implied that Adept had stolen his baby pictures and other “important old stuff.” Although it’s not certain if Adept is behind any of these occurrences, the events certainly seem to be taking their toll on xQc, who has opened up to his fans about the incidents in several social media posts and streams.

xQc freaks out after two huge horror jump-scares in just 40 seconds – Dexerto
xQc freaks out after two huge horror jump-scares in just 40 seconds Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel hilariously lost his mind following back to back jump scares, while playing horror game ‘Power Drill Massacre’ on December 22. xQc is an ex-Overwatch League professional turned full-time Twitch entertainer, known for his visceral and eccentric reactions to a variety of games. He also frequents the ‘Just Chatting’ category on Twitch, where he delights viewers with his reactions to a host of internet content. Power Drill Massacre is a 2015 survival horror game developed by Pig Farmer Games. Players control a protagonist who crashes their car in the wilderness, and so hikes to the nearest factory. Unfortunately, it turns out to be the home to a serial killer. Just the thought of xQc playing such a bizarre game will excite fans. They got their wish on December 22, when Lengyel decided to try out the indie horror experience. It’s fair to say it didn’t disappoint. Lengyel was exploring The Sugar Tunnel, a POI within Power Drill Massacre. It has numerous dead ends and is deliberately designed to be time-consuming to the average player. However, it is also home to back to back jump scares that are obnoxiously loud. While some viewers were aware of what was coming, xQc was none the wiser. “F*ck man,” xQc said. “My heart exploded.” The fun for the Canadian’s audience didn’t stop there though. Upon respawning in to try again, xQc made the same mistake, leading to another incredibly loud jumpscare. The Sugar Tunnel is known among Power Drill Massacres as a labyrinth leading to death regularly. If players encounter a “surprise!” message on the wall, they are instantly killed. If they follow the main path they end up in the killer’s main quarters and are instantly killed. A number of his viewers were braced for the jump scare, and found the Canadian’s struggles utterly hilarious. It’s fair to say xQc didn’t enjoy the jump scare nearly as much but, to his credit, continued to play Power Drill Massacre for some time.

xQc freaks out as The Isle devs send him menacing in-game messages – Dexerto
xQc freaks out as The Isle devs send him menacing in-game messages Blizzard / Afterthought LLCTwitch star Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel was completely freaked out while playing The Isle as devs made menacing messages appear on his screen. xQc is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch, known for his action-packed content and fierce personality as he doesn’t let anyone mess with him. However, even he was shaken as the developers of open-world survival game The Isle sent menacing messages to him during a tense moment. The Canadian streamer was trying out the dinosaur survival game during his usual variety stream on Feb 17. He was in the middle of an intense night-time journey when the ominous message covered most of his screen. “Death is a learning experience. I’m sure this means you will be a master soon.” It read, popping up on his screen along with visual static and some unnerving noises. Felix read the message and looked incredibly confused, staring at this chat and saying “what does that mean?” He then stared at the screen for a short while, having no idea what that meant, and another message appeared. “It means whatever you want it to mean, xQc” the new message read, with equally spooky music. The ex-Overwatch pro then finally realized it was the developers sending the messages. “Jesus! It’s actually the devs, way too dank man!” However, he calmed down shortly after and continued playing, getting to grips with the game and what exactly he is supposed to be doing. With it being an open-world survival game, it’s no surprise that xQc was shaken by the mysterious messages as he was focused fully on surviving and didn’t expect anything to pop on his screen. Although, it is good to see the devs get involved and have some fun.

xQc freaks out after dying to “invincible” Escape From Tarkov enemy – Dexerto
xQc freaks out after dying to “invincible” Escape From Tarkov enemy Felix ‘xQc‘ Lengyel wasn’t able to control his frustration when his return to Escape From Tarkov saw him encounter an enemy he just couldn’t kill, before he found himself down-and-out at the hands of the bullet-absorbing opponent. Escape From Tarkov is an ultra-tactical first-person shooter that has captured the imaginations of streamers since its 2016 release, with creators like Michael ‘shroud’ Grzesiek and Jaryd ‘Summit1g’ Lazar known fans, while Dr Disrespect explained why he’s been loving the game since trying it out for himself. With more and more streamers testing their mettle on the FPS, it’s no surprise that xQc has decided to try it again as part of his popular variety streams, and the Canadian’s quick temper was on full show for all to see as he struggled his way through a tough level with a seemingly invincible enemy. While playing the game, xQc found himself moving through a building, climbing up a flight of stairs to encounter an opponent, sitting at the top beside a pair of opened double doors, seemingly camping out the spot in preparation for a run-in with the 24-year-old. Wasting little time, the streamer started peppering the enemy with bullets from his silenced sub-machine gun, missing a few but appearing to connect a number of times as he moved up-and-down the stairs to make himself harder to hit in return. None of this seemed to work though, and as he bolted for the door, xQc’s character fell to the ground, killed by an enemy he believed he should have already taken out, prompting a classic rage. “F**k!” he screamed in frustration. “F**k, no, no, no! He’s invincible! What is that? He’s f**king invincible! He’s a f**king walker Terminator my dude. He’s the Terminator with the thing. I’m done, I’ve had enough of this.” Of course, xQc’s fury didn’t last long, and neither did his cry that he was finished with the game, immediately backtracking and explaining he was having another go. In fact, the Canadian played for another 45 minutes before eventually switching to CS:GO, so it’s likely that xQc’s journey with Escape From Tarkov isn’t over yet, and that almost definitely means we’ll see more classic rants from the streamer in the future.

xQc forced to move again as tech “disaster” ends latest LA stint early – Dexerto
xQc forced to move again as tech “disaster” ends latest LA stint early Twitch: xQcOWFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is once again being forced to relocate as the mega-popular Twitch streamer has described his latest stint in Los Angeles as a “disaster” amidst a string of technical issues. xQc has had a turbulent few months to say the least. The top streamer of 2021, by a considerable margin, only just moved from Texas to LA in October of 2021. Following several “scary” incidents with stalkers, the French-Canadian looked to the City of Angels as a way to “get out of [his] shell.” Not only that, but he also had big plans for a studio-based production in the city. Just weeks into the swap and xQc quickly came to terms that the LA lifestyle wasn’t working out. Now, the social media star has finally reached his ‘breaking point’ and is on the move once again. Right out of the gate the elements were working against xQc. His very first broadcast in LA ended abruptly as almost everything went wrong with the initial streaming setup. Similar issues have persisted ever since, he confirmed on January 6. “Internet, overall infrastructure, and living in LA has been a little bit of a disaster,” xQc explained in light of another stream cut short earlier that day. “I don’t mind issues and overcoming them, but there comes a time where I snap. We’re at that point.” As a result, he’s packing his bags and “flying home” once again. While no clear ETA was given as to how long he may be offline, he assured “big juice normal streams” will be returning “ASAP.” UPDATE: INTERNET AND OVERALL INFRASTRUCTURE AND LIVING IN LA HAS BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF A DISASTER. I DONT MIND ISSUES AND OVERCOMMING THEM BUT THERE COMES A TIME WHERE I SNAP. WE’RE AT THAT POINT. IM FLYING HOME (WHEREVER THAT IS). BACK TO BIG JUICE NORMAL STREAMS ASAP. 💪❤️ — xQc (@xQc) January 7, 2022 Wherever xQc streams from, one thing is clear: viewers will still be turning up in droves. As the single most-watched personality on Twitch in 2021, there’s no signs he’ll be slowing down anytime soon.

xQc freaks out after accidentally leaking his own Twitter DMs on stream – Dexerto
xQc freaks out after accidentally leaking his own Twitter DMs on stream xQcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel had a bit of a freak-out moment on stream as he briefly showed his Twitter DMs to the world and decided to troll fans with a Kick “leak”. When Twitch streamers aren’t streaming games, and are just talking to fans or reacting to videos, they don’t have too much they have to worry about going wrong. Everything is pretty much in their control. Given that many of them have multiple monitors, they can keep things out of view of fans, whether that be checking if a video is safe to show to everyone or reading messages from others. Of course, there have been plenty of slip-ups over the years, and xQc almost joined them when he decided to bring a new window on screen that had his Twitter DMs just in view for everyone to see. xQc trolls fans with Kick ‘leak’ after exposing Twitter DMs That’s right, during his April 3 stream as he was reacting to some clips, the Canadian decided to drag and drop a new window onto his main screen, showing it to fans. Within a few seconds of doing so, he let out a high-pitched scream as he realized his Twitter DMs were showing. There wasn’t anything too bad on show, but he did spark intrigue when he teased he had messages about Kick – the platform trying to muscle in on Twitch’s dominance. “Oh my god! Dude, I thought I leaked my Kick thing,” xQc said. Though, he did it in such an exaggerated manner that plenty of fans immediately suggested he was trolling. As a number of streamers have jumped ship to Kick, xQc has been pretty supportive of the platform. He previously said that they were going about things the “right way” in offering non-exclusive deals to big streamers who want to split time between Kick and Twitch. It’s unlikely he’ll make the switch any time soon, given he’s one of Twitch’s biggest stars, but won’t stop him trolling over it.

xQc flexes about his Overwatch skills and instantly regrets it – Dexerto
xQc flexes about his Overwatch skills and instantly regrets it xQc/TwitchStreaming star xQc was bragging about how he could’ve been one the best Overwatch players before instantly regretting it. xQc is by far one of the biggest streamers in the world, amassing over 12 million followers on Twitch to date. Streaming upwards of 20 hours each day, it’s no wonder he’s dominated the Twitch charts, being the most-watched channel on the Amazon-owned platform for several years in a row. However, before his time as a streaming star, xQc was best known for competing in Overwatch, notably playing under the Dallas Fuel. xQc says he could be one of the best Overwatch players During his July 30 broadcast, the Twitch star opened up on how he was way more committed to streaming than competing back in his professional Overwatch days. However, the 27-year-old claimed that if he were to put in the effort, he’d be one of the best players in the world. “If I sat down and actually played the game and did more Overwatching, and less like, streaming or whatever, I could be one of the best players out there for sure,” he said. “No doubt, no doubt.” Yet, just seconds later, the former Overwatch pro used Winston’s ultimate ability to try and leap onto an enemy. However, in the process, he failed miserably and instead dashed off the map — falling to his death. After letting out a little scream, the streamer tried to pin the blame on his internet for the mishap, arguing that he’d lagged. “Alright, guys, chat, Spectrum is my worst enemy. They give me lag and sh*t, it is weird.” It’s fair to say that the Juicer definitely made the right decision by focusing on streaming in the end, with him recently signing one of the biggest streaming deals we’ve seen to date. In June, the Twitch star signed a non-exclusive deal with Kick worth up to $100 million.

xQc flexes new six-figure watch in viral Twitter post: “It makes me really happy” – Dexerto
xQc flexes new six-figure watch in viral Twitter post: “It makes me really happy” Robert Paul of OWLTwitch streamer xQc took to Twitter to show off a new purchase to his legion of followers. The purchase in question: a watch that retails for hundreds and thousands of dollars. xQc is obviously no slouch with a $100 million Kick deal making waves in the streaming community of late. Sure there are doubters like Logan Paul who question the tangibility of the deal, but the former Overwatch star might just quiet Paul with his most recent tweet. Even if he does potentially lose some revenue to AI fakers, it seems like a six-figure watch is still well within xQc’s price range. In the tweet, the streamer showed off an impressive-looking watch with multicolored diamonds on the face. The watch in question is one of Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak range and it can sell for up to $456,255.00 USD. Audemars Piguet is a Swiss manufacturer of luxury watches that has been in the game since 1875. They actually patented a bunch of mechanical functions that other brands like Tiffany & Co. use for their watches. xQc explained in the post that the purchase was a gift to himself. “I rarely get myself anything but I’ve been wanting it for a while,” the streamer said. “Finally got it and it makes me really happy so I thought I’d share.” Twitter users in the comments were quick to point out the insane price tag on the watch. Some were able to make light of the jaw-dropping figure. “Ok but not bad if you get free delivery,” one user quipped. Others took a different approach posting their own watches in imitation of the flex. We try to remain impartial but a clear winner emerged. Though the cost of the watch feels like a bit much to some, the tax on the purchase is even more eyewatering. “$29k in tax is insane,” one user remarked. “I would do so much for $29k right now,” another replied. The watch probably wasn’t too stressful a buy for xQc given that he’s likely rolling in it. If it was, the $100K prize pool in the upcoming Pogchamps 5 Chess Tournament he’s entered in could soften the blow.

xQc fires more accusations at Katerino amid CallMeCarson cheating drama – Dexerto
xQc fires more accusations at Katerino amid CallMeCarson cheating drama Twitch: xQc / Instagram: katerinotvFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has made further accusations about Twitch streamer Katerino following confirmation that she cheated on boyfriend CallMeCarson more than once. Katerino appeared, by all accounts, to have an ongoing relationship with Carson that seemed to be fine, but it was revealed that she had cheated on him with one of his good friends, Fitz. In a response video posted on April 14, Katerino also revealed that when she first started seeing Carson, she was already dating someone else at the time, making the situation even more volatile than it might have initially seemed. Now, though, xQc has had his say on the matter – and directed even more allegations at Katerino. He spoke of a time that he was at a party, and she was also with her boyfriend in attendance. He said: “Even though her boyfriend was there physically, she was going to another dude’s hotel room. So, she’s not like, a quad champion… She’s a Penta. There’s another.” He refuses to name the other person because he respects them a lot, but clearly believes there was something wrong regarding the situation, especially while her boyfriend was with her. It’s not quite clear whether the boyfriend at the time was Carson or someone else, so it’s difficult to verify the timescale of when this was or who played a part in it, but xQc has really added more fuel to the fire here. It seems there is more to this story than most of us seem to know, though how much of it actually comes out remains to be seen.

xQc finally wins Minecraft Monday with m0xy, celebrates in style – Dexerto
xQc finally wins Minecraft Monday with m0xy, celebrates in style Instagram: xQc / Minecraft Monday / MojangFormer Overwatch League player Félix ‘xQc’ Langyel has won his first Minecraft Monday, and his celebration reminded us all of why he loves to compete. xQc and his duo partner m0xyy have been competing in Minecraft Monday since the beginning, with the duo slowly improving their results over the last 12 weeks. The fruits of their labor have finally come through though, with the pair winning their first Minecraft Monday by a whopping 300 points. However, while the win was great for the hard-working duo, it was even sweeter for xQc, who looked over the moon with the result. As the Hunger Games wrapped up, the pair were itching to get back to the scoreboard and check their results. “It’s okay, right? Please, please please – that’s it! 300 points ahead! Let’s f***ing go,” they screamed as the results panned over, showing the duo had dominated the competition. xQc managed to get 758 points, while m0xyy managed 905. xQc has proven to be a star at TnT Run and Parkour, and while they had a slow finish in Hunger Games, they got a large enough lead in the first few game modes to hold on. xQc also gave a golden post-game interview, reminiscent of the days of Overwatch League and his wins with the Dallas Fuel. Read more: Minecraft Monday week 12 information – “We rolled, that’s what we did,” he said. “The strat we had – which I spoke to m0xyy about – is that if we get focused, we can’t let grudges get in the way and we have to focus on our own game modes, our win, our strats, and not care about what they do.” He managed a cheeky dig at Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins too, who returned to the Minecraft Monday action with three-time champion ‘TechnoBlade’ this week. Read more: xQc slams “disgusting” parent – “Listen, no offence to TechnoBlade, but I feel like he went for the bigger streamer instead of the better team mate,” he said, tongue-in-cheek. “Me and m0xyy have something indestructible, and that’s friendship.” His departure from Overwatch League was rather unceremonious, but that doesn’t mean the fire isn’t burning for the Canadian. xQc has mentioned his desire to compete again many times on stream as well as on Twitter. Events like Minecraft Mondays look like they fill the void for the victory-hungry streamer. The competition this week was fierce, and the practice he’s been putting in looks like it’s starting to pay off. While it might not be under the bright lights of Blizzard Arena or the Anaheim Convention Center, xQc’s win today has reminded everyone of his love of competing, and that this might not be the last Minecraft Monday win he gets.

xQc fires back at racist accusations after coming under fire once again – Dexerto
xQc fires back at racist accusations after coming under fire once again Twitch: xQcPopular streamer Felix “xQc” Lengyel has responded to allegations of making racist remarks during a recent live stream. Monkey, a “random video chat” app much like the now-defunct Omegle, is a platform that allows users to interact with strangers worldwide. The app has provided a plethora of hilarious moments on xQc’s recent streams, including one of the most “wholesome” moments in which xQc gifted a gaming PC to an aspiring young streamer. While most of the time, the strangers can be seen throwing playful insults at each other, one of xQc’s verbal exchanges has since caused controversy as some viewers labeled it as “racist” for alluding to slavery, leading xQc to respond once again to allegations of racism. After a stranger began hurling homophobic slurs and other insults, xQc responded, “I could take my daily check and buy your entire f***ing bloodline.” xQc immediately recognized the potential misinterpretation of his words live on stream and commented, “I didn’t mean it like that. Don’t be weird about it.” Despite this, a short clip that featured his controversial remark went viral on social media. Although similar to how xQc had been playfully insulting other strangers on Monkey Chat, the comment was criticized by many on social media who questioned the intentions behind the remark. xQc directly addressed the controversy in a recent stream, reacting to a comment from Kaceytron, a Twitch streamer who said, “I wonder if he will apologize or just continue being an a**hole.” xQc responded, “Wait a minute… She thinks she cooked here, but she says I’m being an a**hole.” “I thought this was about being a racist. So, is it racist or is it a**hole? Because if it’s being an a**hole, I was being an a**hole, and I will not apologize for being, and I will continue being an a**hole. “But it wasn’t racist, so I cannot continue being a racist because that’s not what it is, okay? That is not what that is.” Many social media users have come forward to defend xQc, arguing that the viral clip was taken out of context. One user commented, “Nah the guy on the left had it coming to him. This clip is out of context, but he just kept disrespecting XQC,” while another added, “He’s used this ‘insult’ many times. Everyone knows it ain’t a race thing.” Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

xQc fires back after Kaceytron accuses him of “abuse and manipulation” towards Adept – Dexerto
xQc fires back after Kaceytron accuses him of “abuse and manipulation” towards Adept Twitch: xQCxQc has responded to Kaceytron’s accusations of him being “abusive” and a “manipulator” towards his ex-partner, Adept, calling her allegations “unhinged behavior”. xQc’s public breakup with his now ex-girlfriend Adept has been far from smooth, with many of the former couple’s troubles being aired for the entire streaming community to see. From Adept showing up at xQc’s house, to xQc’s $300,000 McLaren being registered in her name, a great deal has gone down in the public spotlight. Kaceytron, a fellow Twitch streamer, chimed in on the breakup on May 1, giving her thoughts on a recent clip of xQc supposedly “downplaying” abuse which was accused against political commentator Steven Crowder on Hasan’s Discord server, Hascord. In her response, the content creator relates xQc’s “downplay” of Crowder’s alleged abuse as a “red flag” of his former relationship with Adept. “I don’t think xQc is a straight-up abuser,” Kacey wrote in the same Discord channel. “I’m just saying the community acts like the abuse in xQc/Adept relationship is one-sided when it is clearly mutual abuse. “The way xQc lets the entire community continue on with consistently villainizing her is intentional and him being manipulative. xQc has used his massive audience to manipulate and abuse and harass Adept and done very little to stop it.” Even before her accusations of xQc’s “abuse and manipulation” of Adept, she further criticized the mega-popular Twitch streamer for leading his predominantly young male audience down an “incel pipeline” through his affiliation with Destiny, whom she has also accused of abuse. Naturally, xQc quickly responded during his next Twitch stream, labeling Kacey’s comments as “unhinged”. “It’s unhinged to go publicly and say s*** like that,” he said of the accusations. “It is absolutely unhinged behavior, and it’s massively damaging for no f***ing reason. I don’t know why anybody in their right mind would do this s***, it is so stupid.” xQc would go on to say Kacey was just “baiting” him for attention. “I get it, relevancy is slipping away, all the old baits you used not work, these are like baits that are heavy as f*** why stoop to this level, I don’t get it.”

xQc fires back at Hasan over Shitcamp backlash: “He assumed the worst” – Dexerto
xQc fires back at Hasan over Shitcamp backlash: “He assumed the worst” Twitch: xQc/ HasanFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has hit back at his fellow Twitch streamer Hasan ‘HasanAbi’ Piker after he criticized him for backing out of QTCinderella’s Shitcamp 2022. xQc is used to handling backlash. However, nothing riled up his fans more than when he revealed that he would not be attending Shitcamp 2022 despite originally being included on the roster by its creator QTCinderella. His absence was particularly frustrating for Hasan, who is attending the event. The streamer unleashed a series of tweets criticizing xQc for “bailing” at the “last second.” However, xQc quickly fired back highlighting how Hasan didn’t know why he bailed claiming it could have been for a legitimate reason. xQc slams Hasan for not ‘reaching out’ to him As things got started at Shitcamp on September 5, xQc responded to Hasan criticizing him on Twitter. Although he initially refused to “rant” about the topic, he did open up about how Hasan should have spoken to him before posting the tweets. He admitted that Hasan is “a good friend to people,” but questioned whether he took the “due diligence” to find out why xQc would not be attending Shitcamp before hitting out at him. He added: “Did he double check and reach out when it happened? No, he did not. He assumed the worst because he had to gain the most and he had to maximize that.” The 26-year-old further questioned whether Hasan is a “real friend” or whether he is just an “opportunist.” It comes after xQc was accused of dropping out of Shitcamp because his friend Sodapoppin wasn’t attending, despite him having had a blast at last year’s event. xQc is seemingly keeping quiet as to the official reason why he is not attending the event this time round. However, his absence has already sparked some comedic moments during Shitcamp.

xQc finally realizes how hard it is to understand him speaking: “I don’t know what he’s saying” – Dexerto
xQc finally realizes how hard it is to understand him speaking: “I don’t know what he’s saying” Twitch: xQcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel finally got a taste of why viewers and other streamers sometimes struggle to understand him, as even he couldn’t make out what he was saying during his Minecraft speedrun. Whether they stream on Twitch, YouTube, or Kick, every streamer has their own unique personality and way of doing things. Some focus more on the production of their broadcast, while others let their gameplay do the talking. In the case of xQc, sometimes his gameplay is what fans are turning in for, while other times, they want to see him go on a wild tangent about something completely unrelated to his stream. The latter of which has, at times, brought about iconic clips. No one is ever forgetting the ‘6 consoles’ rant. Though, there are times when he’s pretty difficult to hear and understand as he speaks so quickly. Even xQc can’t understand himself speak when playing Minecraft This has, at times, been known as ‘speaking Juicer’, almost as if he’s speaking in his own alien language. Well, during his May 7 stream, the former Overwatch star got a taste of his own medicine. As he was watching back his record-breaking Minecraft speedrun – where he beat Forsen’s record once again – he struggle to understand what he was saying himself. “I don’t know what he’s saying,” xQc said as he rewatched himself. “I don’t know how anybody can sit here and actually f*cking watch this and listen to this s*it.” Even with xQc becoming a bit self-aware of it, it’s hardly like he’s going to change. At the end of the day, it is just how he speaks when the pressure is on. Plus, he’ll have other things to worry about if Forsen fires back in Minecraft and tries to reclaim his speedrun record.

xQc finds picture of himself after googling terrible haircuts – Dexerto
xQc finds picture of himself after googling terrible haircuts Twitch: xQcTop streamer xQc found a picture of one of his old trims when googling images of the worst haircuts. xQc is no stranger to being caught unawares on stream, but even this moment seemed to suggested that the universe was playing tricks on him specifically. The biggest streamer on Kick took some time to look at pictures of some of the worst haircuts in history, using the prompt “just f*ck my sh*t up” (in all caps, obviously). Unluckily for xQc, one of the top images was a picture of him sporting an infamously bad bowl cut, which he and chat quickly spotted. xQc looks up worst haircuts, sees picture of himself To be fair to the streamer, the pictue was pretty old, and x hasn’t had that look for quite some time. When he spotted the picture, he said: “This is a classi- wait, what the f*ck? Why am I there?” You can check out the full clip and the chat’s reaction on Kick. xQc recently got into hot water after dropping a take about OnlyFans, where he slammed the site as “brain rot” and “bottom of the barrel”. “People are going to save that sh*t and repost it. It’s going to haunt you. Humans are weird. People forget what people do. It’s trash, people do sh*t like this, but it’s what people do,” he explained. Again, it’s not like this is an isolated opinion. Pokimaine and several other Twitch streamers have also said they’d never do OnlyFans, though they were less condemning of people who had decided to do it themselves. For more news and updates on xQc’s streams, check out the feud between him and YouTuber LegalEagle, who claimed that he was “stealing” content by reacting to it.

xQc finally leaving Overwatch name behind with Twitch account change – Dexerto
xQc finally leaving Overwatch name behind with Twitch account change xQc Twitch‘Mr. Cow’ has seen his final day after xQc finally changed his Overwatch-associated name behind with a refined Twitch handle that omits the big ‘OW.’ Update May 19 xQc confirmed his new Twitch handle that drops the meme-inducing Overwatch abbreviation he’s long been known for. CHANGED MY HANDLE TO JUST “”XQC”” ON TWITCH. THE LINK IS ALSO CHANGED TO https://t.co/wfjotxjPhm EZ pic.twitter.com/MldyJTlPnk — xQc (@xQc) May 19, 2022 Overwatch has been a part of his Twitch identity for a while, which has even spawned countless nicknames and inside quips from his community. But those days are gone, at least on xQc’s streaming platform of choice, and audiences are bidding Mr. Cow a fond farewell after the switch. Original story follows below… The stream star got word from Twitch on May 18 about a possible name change that would sever his channel’s tie to Overwatch, where the Quebec native made a name for himself on the Dallas Fuel and Team Canada. The last remnant of that past may soon clear out since the 26-year-old was made aware of a recent development at Twitch that could open the door for a switch. “I just got news actually live,” xQc said on May 18. “[Twitch Partnership rep] Pluto told me that there were some changes and they’re able to get stuff done. And he said, after I asked, he just submitted the change to have my username shortened to ‘xQc.’” The news was met with ample prayers for ‘xQcOW’ and ‘Mr. Cow,’ alike, seeing as a new name may soon brandish his channel. Sure enough, questions of him leaving Overwatch completely behind eventually arose and the streamer responded in kind to clear up any confusion. “Well I like Overwatch, [so] we’ll see how it goes,” he began. “I told him not to put the brakes on it. I asked if it’s possible and if something’s possible we just click the red button.” The option could soon present itself. xQc was even surprised to hear the news and expects a quick turnaround should he get the word. The change could be a sentimental departure for some in his 10.8 million Twitch army who have seen the name ‘xQcOW’ since 2014, which translated over to his YouTube and subreddit. xQc faithfuls are standing by his Twitch channel to spam ‘I was here’ in the chat if the change goes through, giving fans a new URL to catch the streamer live.

xQc finally gets driver’s license in bid for “new and improved” lifestyle – Dexerto
xQc finally gets driver’s license in bid for “new and improved” lifestyle Twitch: xQcTwitch star xQc has seemingly finally gotten his driver’s license, opening up in a string of messages claiming he’s turning a corner for a “new and improved” lifestyle following a stressful few weeks of drama. Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is one of Twitch’s most-followed streamers — but being a top-tier broadcaster isn’t always sunshine and daisies. Over the past several weeks, Lengyel has been dealing with drama on all sides, abruptly ending broadcasts and even dealing with police showing up at his home in sudden, sporadic streams and posts. Most recently, xQc claimed that his baby photos and important documents were seemingly stolen. Although the person behind these incidents wasn’t named, fans are convinced they all involve his ex-partner, ‘Adept,’ who he split up with in a fiery argument last year. xQc is “rebirthed” and his finally getting driver’s license Now, it looks like ‘The Juicer’ is wanting to start a new chapter in his life — starting with finally getting his driver’s license. Lengyel let fans know he was taking his test in a series of messages to his offline chat, as logged by the Twitter account ‘xQcChatMessages.’ “Gonna go to the DMV real early,” he wrote. “Time to get my license, little brother. I do push-ups everyday, walk, and bike. I’m getting my sh*t together. This is like a rebirth.” It looks like he was successful in getting his license, as well, judging by one of his subsequent messages: “New car, license, new lifestyle. New me. Improved, happier and more juice. This inconsistent schedule made me realize I need a stronger mental. But body gotta be strong first.” “Sometimes, you can’t wait for the sun rays to show up,” he added. “You gotta move around and try to find one. I think that’s the new motto.” It looks like xQc is bent on making a positive change for his life amidst all the drama he’s had to deal with, and his license is one of the first of those big developments. xQc has famously not had a driver’s license all this time, despite owning a $300k McLaren 720s Spider — a vehicle that was actually registered in Adept’s name, since he didn’t have a license at the time of purchasing the car. This latest news follows speculation that xQc may have gotten engaged to possible new girlfriend Fran… although any confirmation on that rumor, brought about by cryptic social media posts, remains to be seen.

xQc finally joins TikTok and he’s already going viral Twitch: xQc/TikTokTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has, at long last, finally joined TikTok with his ‘twitchxqcow’ account and it hasn’t taken him long at all to make waves on the platform. After springing to prominence thanks to his world-class Overwatch skills, xQc has become one of the most recognizable faces on the internet and is arguably Twitch’s biggest name at the moment. The Canadian, who has over 10 million followers on the platform, is no longer locked into playing just one game, as he regularly dips his toe into a wide variety of titles. On top of that, he’s also made ‘react’ content a pretty big part of his daily broadcasts. He’ll typically kick streams off with a few YouTube videos, Twitch clips, and even TikToks, but he had refused to get involved with the latter – until now. xQc joins TikTok as twitchxqcow During his April 1st stream, xQc revealed that he’d finally started a TikTok account, and that it wasn’t an April Fools Day prank as some fans may have assumed.

xQc fans troll Fox News into fake high school graduation message – Dexerto
xQc fans troll Fox News into fake high school graduation message xQc / Fox NewsFans of popular Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel somehow trolled a Fox News reporter into giving the creator a high school graduation congratulations message. xQc is one of the most popular content creators on the whole of Twitch, and with that comes a lot of fans that sometimes love to purposely mess with him. While fans some will often stream snipe to ruin his gaming experience, sometimes to promote themselves, others take an entirely different approach. Now, his community somehow trolled a local Fox News station into congratulating the streaming star for graduating high school, and it’s absolutely hilarious. In a tweet on May 6, Fox 4 broadcast reporter Clarice Tinsley from Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas posted a nice high school graduation message for the 26-year-old streaming star. “Felix Lengyel will graduate from Highland Park High School Cum Laude,” the tweet read. “He’s in the Computer Science National Honor Society & the Math National Honor Society. He’ll attend the University of California-Berkley to study Computer Science, Italian language & Literature.” So far, the tweet has amassed over 37k likes, with xQc’s fanbase chiming in with memes about the streamer in the replies. https://twitter.com/ClariceFox4/status/1522676933720522753?s=20&t=aQauo-DIn46MeE840Oht7A “Hey I know that guy, I’ve seen him walk around the halls.

xQc finally beats Forsen’s Minecraft speed run record after two-year battle – Dexerto
xQc finally beats Forsen’s Minecraft speed run record after two-year battle Twitch / xQcIn a tense Twitch stream, xQc has finally beaten Forsen’s incredible Minecraft speedrunning record, after over a year of training and perseverance. Despite Minecraft primarily being a calmer building game, the act of speedrunning the title is anything but chilled. It’s a challenging task that requires the perfect Minecraft world seed, skill, perseverance, and the right knowledge. All of these qualities have been undeniably present within both xQc and Forsen as they continue their two-year-long battle to hold Minecraft speedrunning bragging rights. On January 4, 2022, xQc heroically won back the title that was lost to Forsen in April 2021 and set a new record, completing Minecraft in just 20 minutes and five seconds, an impressive 32 seconds quicker than Forsen’s previous time. Over the years Forsen and xQc have been beating each other’s records by mere seconds. In fact, in April 2021, Forsen famously completed the game in just 20 minutes and 38 seconds, just seven seconds faster than xQc, prompting some jabs at his opponent on Twitter shortly after. Naturally, once completing the record and realizing he’d beaten his opponent by over half a minute, xQc was both relieved and ecstatic, commenting on how he was finally “done with this s***.” The speedrun was so intense that the popular streamer pulled off his headphones and slammed them on the table shortly after his success, then going on to express how he was “f****** shaking dude”, perhaps due to the pressure, excitement, and how badly he wanted to beat Forsen. With xQc now being the reigning champion of Minecraft speed runs, all eyes are on Forsen to see if he will comment on the matter, or attempt to fight for the title all over again. He has yet to comment on the win, despite xQc Tweeting him in a clip of his success.

xQc fans grossed out after he accidentally reveals his “goblin” toe on stream – Dexerto
xQc fans grossed out after he accidentally reveals his “goblin” toe on stream xQcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel stunned his viewers when he unintentionally showed his foot on stream, and elicited some hilarious reactions about one of his toes in the process. xQc is by far the biggest streamer on all of Twitch. He commands the highest amount of average viewers on the entire platform, and has streamed an ungodly amount of hours since 2017. With tons of viewers also comes tons of scrutiny over everything he says and does on his channel. While live on March 30, he accidentally showed off his big toe, a seemingly inconsequential act, and yet drew a massive reaction from fans. xQc’s big toe goes “goblin” mode The French-Canadian streamer was showing off the inside of his PC when the camera caught a glimpse of his foot, revealing the big toe in question. While the PC itself was in dire need of a clean-up and some cable management, his viewers also dialed in on the streamer’s “disgusting” big toe. Another viewer referred to the extremity as a “goblin” toe. This is not the first time viewers have been “grossed” out at xQc specifically. In July 2021, he gave viewers a room tour which revealed tons of empty fast food cups and a general state of disarray of his streaming space. Viewers called the room tour, “disgusting and sad.” With by far the most subscribers on all of Twitch at over 80k, xQc might be due to cash some of those Twitch checks for a deluxe pedicure.

xQc fans shock streamer with wholesome birthday surprise – Dexerto
xQc fans shock streamer with wholesome birthday surprise Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel received a wholesome birthday surprise from his fans during his stream. Popular variety streamer xQc was celebrating his birthday on November 12 with a casual In-Real-Life [IRL] and Overwatch stream when he was surprised by his fans. A group of his viewers had gathered in one of his Discord and invited Felix to join them before revealing their wholesome surprise. “Three, two, one” they counted down as he joined, before erupting in a synchronized happy birthday song. The Canadian instantly smiled and was clearly touched by the wholesome gesture, thoroughly enjoying the whole song. So many fans joined in on the song that the Discord could barely handle the number of voices, turning it into somewhat of a laggy mess. However, the wholesome thought behind the surprise still shined through, and it was easy to see just how much xQc loved it. He clapped as the song finished and added: “Damn dude, thank you guys… appreciate it, much love” all while holding a massive smile. Continuing with the stream, xQc opened presents he had received from fans, unwrapping thoughtful gifts and reading personalized letters. The gifts varied from Overwatch collectibles to food and everything in between. The streamer showed off each item and thanked whoever had sent them. As one of the biggest streamers on Twitch, xQc has been constantly growing since he stopped competing in Overwatch in early 2018. Since then, he has managed to grow a massive community that enjoys his entertaining content over a variety of games, including Call of Duty, Escape from Tarkov and many more. It’s clear that his fans care about him after such a sweet birthday song where, surprisingly, no one decided to troll – not to mention the large number of gifts he received.

xQc fans call out Twitch for ‘double standards’ after controversial ban – Dexerto
xQc fans call out Twitch for ‘double standards’ after controversial ban Twitch: xQcFans of popular Twitch streamer xQc have called on the platform to unban his channel, after he was handed a suspension for playing a suggestive game on stream, even starting an ‘unbanxQc’ hashtag trend. The former Overwatch pro was one of the most subscribed-to channels on the entire platform when he was banned on February 29, showing Twitch are willing to hand down punishments to even their biggest stars. The cause of the ban has been contentious though, as many argue similar instances from other streamers, as well as xQc himself, have gone unpunished. Twitch has been criticized for a lack of both consistency and transparency when it comes to their sanctions, usually handed down for violations of the site’s community guidelines. These guidelines state that the moderation team always takes “context” into account when reviewing potentially offending material, but this remains somewhat vague, causing debate among viewers and streamers. After the ban, one fan highlighted that games such as Witcher 3 include full-frontal nudity, and xQc himself has played that game without punishment. Further to this, the fan claimed that body painting streams often toe the line between suggestive content and artistic work. What the fuck. Witcher 3 Nudity is allowed and real life body painted boob with censored nipples is allowed which is even more explicit but @xQc cant show pixel titties on Stream? Lol @Twitch — BrandfluenceAreScammers (@BrandfluenceCON) March 1, 2020 Others pointed out that xQc made an immediate effort to close the game when the exposed section appeared, clearly trying to avoid showing the material. Other streamers have done the same, and by deleting any clips of VOD’s of the incident, escape punishment. Another fan, using the hashtag #unbanxQc, pointed out the infamous Alinity cat debacle, for which she was not banned, and compared it to Lengyel’s transgression. https://twitter.com/EPICFACEHEAVEN/status/1233931523621113858 YouTuber KEEMSTAR also weighed in, suggesting that the platform was “sexist against male streamers”, by comparing xQc’s incident to that of a female streamer, ZombiUnicorn. https://twitter.com/KEEMSTAR/status/1233960705679818752 What are Twitch’s rules? In the ‘Nudity and Sexual content in games’ section of Twitch’s community guidelines, it states: “Occurrences of in-game nudity are permitted, so long as you do not make them a primary focus of your content and only spend as much time as needed in the area to make progress.” However, it also clarifies that games where this content is “main focus” are entirely prohibited. It could be argued that the anime game xQc was playing did make this content the main focus. xQc has not addressed the ban publicly, other than posting an image of Pepe the frog with the caption “too much juice this time.” Twitch does not comment on community guidelines violations to respect the privacy of users.

xQc fails miserably at cleaning his setup following fan outrage – Dexerto
xQc fails miserably at cleaning his setup following fan outrage xQc, Twitter – TwitchPopular Overwatch pro Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel got his fans in an uproar after showing off his disgusting streaming setup – but his audience wasn’t pleased with his efforts to clean up the mess, either. xQc went live on May 5 in a response to fan outrage over the state of his setup, determined to clean up the clutter as a show of responsibility to his fans – which ended up backfiring in a hilarious way. The streamer seemed to make a show of just how disgusting his room was, showing off a pile of trash strewn about the floor and even an entire pizza that had become “rotten,” with just a single slice missing from out of the box. xQc’s desk-cleaning fail That’s not all; xQc’s effort to wash his desk ended in hilarity, as he was determined to use an abundance of dish soap to clean its wood surface – causing some members of his chat to lose their minds over potential damage to the furniture. “Dish soap, dude, it’s all I have, literally,” xQc claimed as he squirted a huge amount of soap onto the desk. That wasn’t the end of his incredulous cleaning efforts; xQc didn’t even dilute the soap with water, simply using a ream of paper towels to mop up the soap while his chat warned that his desk would become “WAY TOO STICKY” without being properly washed. Fans were left stunned by the state of xQc’s room during his initial room tour on May 3, where he showed off his crumb-ridden keyboard and a slew of empty soda cans, explaining that the mess had come about due to the prolonged absence of his mother. Popular Twitch streamers’ disgusting streaming setups Of course, xQc wouldn’t be the only Twitch streamer called out for the miserable state of their setup, either; popular streamer Tyler1 was similarly targeted for his own slovenliness, after his girlfriend showed off his setup in a secret livestream on April 15. Popular World of Warcraft streamer Asmongold is even known for his dirty setup, a photo of which showed a horde of empty cups set to the side of his montor, coupled with a mountain of trash strewn about the floor. https://www.reddit.com/r/trashy/comments/94ta7b/streaming_setup_from_asmongold_known_wow_streamer/No matter how important getting in that next game might be, it’s always worth cleaning your streaming room – lest it ends up getting secretly exposed, as in Tyler1’s case.

xQc falls to the floor in hysterics over hilarious VRChat glitch – Dexerto
xQc falls to the floor in hysterics over hilarious VRChat glitch Twitch: xQcOW / VRChat IncTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel was in tears of laughter after a glitch in VRChat interrupted another player’s speech. The vocal bug had the Overwatch pro literally on the floor in hysterics. VRChat originally released in 2014, but has exploded in popularity on the Oculus and Steam platforms in recent years. The virtual reality app allows people to roleplay as anyone they want, making it a hub for hilarious social antics. However during his April 6 broadcast, popular Twitch streamer xQc couldn’t stop laughing after another player’s voice completely freaked out. The Canadian laughed so hard, he literally fell to the floor. xQc in hysterics over VRChat glitch The streamer was in the middle of his broadcast when ‘ROFLGATOR’ wanted to have a popularity contest between the Twitch star and another VRC user. After xQc got into a hot tub in the game, the other player began to tell him about the rules of the contest. However his voice began to glitch during his explanation. “We have rule changes by the way. It’s even better at the e e end of the party, the girls are going to decide between you and ch a a ance.” His voice continued to skip, which caused the personality to laugh. He finally finished and said “Do you accept?” But the Twitch personality couldn’t stop cracking up at the vocal lag, before he exclaimed, “You’re voice is bugged, dude!” Another user ‘TheBigMeech,’ who was also sitting in the hot tub, told him, “Yo your voice is f**ked!” ROFLGATOR tried to talk some more, however his voice completely lagged out as he began to repeat the same syllable over and over. “Meech, can you tell him. Can you tell tell tell…” he began. The user mocked him, saying, “Yeah yeah yeah,” which caused the Canadian to literally roll on the floor in laughter. Frustrated, the lagging player screamed, “Ahhhh! Can you hear me or not?! Hello!? Oh oh oh…” Everyone in the room then began to burst into laughter at his vocals. VRChat is as bizarre as it is hilarious, and seems like the perfect material to entertain viewers. xQc has been spending time in the virtual title, and has had several clips from his broadcasts blow up. At the time of writing, the Overwatch pro has over 2.3 million followers to his Twitch channel, and consistently pulls in 30k viewers a stream, making him one of the most watched personalities on the platform.

xQc slams viewer’s “disgusting” parent following refund demand – Dexerto
xQc slams viewer’s “disgusting” parent following refund demand DepositPhotos / xQc, TwitchOverwatch pro boasts more than 1.5 million followers on Twitch, and regularly receives donations for his funny on-stream antics and interesting gameplay. Not everyone, as it turns out, is happy to hear their money is being spent on the wild personality known for his over-the-top reactions, with one fan’s parent reaching out to xQc via email to request a refund for their child’s multiple donations. After receiving the email, Felix blew up, putting on a mocking voice and aiming his rant at parents of his followers and demanding they teach their children about donations. “One of you had your parents send me an email saying “Oh my god, my kid donated to your stream and it wasn’t me, he donated several times, $3, and I don’t know who you are but I want my money back,” the streamer yelled. “No, no, no, no,” he continued, slamming his desk. “That was a ‘no’, okay? It was like $27 total, 27 bucks. I don’t care that much, I don’t care about $27. I care, but not really.” “No, you’re not getting the money back, it’s not happening. You should not let children go into the stream. You should educate your child. It is not my job to educate your child about being retarded.” xQc makes his livelihood from streaming after leaving the Overwatch League. The disgruntled streaming star, who had been playing Counter-Strike before his rant, revealed to his streamers after they called him harsh that it was the way the donator’s mom approached him that riled him up. “You should have seen the audacity of it, it’s like I scammed her,” he explained. Read more: PewDiePie mocks Belle Delphine’s controversy – “I toned down the message when I told you guys. The wording was disgusting, like I was a criminal. Like I did something wrong. I’m like dude, are you kidding? The way she wrote it? Fuck you, man. Parent your piece of shit toddler you disgusting hag.” xQc’s response to the email may have been a little bit over the top, but considering Twitch streamers make their livelihood out of donations and subscriptions, and the donator’s parent was treating it like a scam he may have felt like it was a personal attack. The requested $27 isn’t that much in the overall scheme of things for the Overwatch star, but it was enough for him to send a message, which he well and truly delivered.

xQc “fails horribly” after trying to teach his chat soda can trick – Dexerto
xQc “fails horribly” after trying to teach his chat soda can trick Youtube: xQc ClipsCanadian streamer xQc tried to prove to his live chat that tapping a can from all sides prevents carbonated drinks from overflowing. But his demonstration didn’t exactly go very well. Twitch star xQc is among the biggest online streamers in history, with tens of thousands of pairs of eyes tuning in to follow his every movement, and listen to his every word. Despite worldwide fame, Felix Lengyel, better known as xQc, has shown his viewers multiple times that he is a down-to-earth person, and an avid videogame enjoying everyman. Nothing proves this more than when he has a stumble, or an accident live. Something that happens to every person on a daily basis. But alas, something that is a great point of discussion and interest when a streamer does it instead. Felix was frustrated that no one in his chat seemed to know the “tap technique” and tried to demonstrate it during his lifestream, but it did not exactly pan out the way he wanted it to. xQc fails to demonstrate the tap technique “Chat, out of all cans and bottles, I don’t know how to stop Sprite from bubbling after I drop it. You can’t, right? Normally you do this,” said xQc in a clip saved from his live stream before tapping all over a Sprite bottle with his fingers. Frustrated that no one in the chat seemed to understand what he is doing, he grabbed a can of beer from his fridge. “Watch this. I’m gonna shake it and then drop it. This will bubble if you shake it really hard. Now watch this,” explained Felix, and the rest is history. Timestamp: 1:14 Felix and his viewers have a history of interactions that led to the creation of great content. Such as that time when he was doing his chores on his own for the first time and asked chat for specific instructions. Or when he shared an awkward but lighthearted interaction he had with a fan while out on a date.

xQc explodes after Soulja Boy accidentally ruins Among Us match – Dexerto
xQc explodes after Soulja Boy accidentally ruins Among Us match Twitch: xQcOw / souljaboy[jwplayer mfcRpjb4]Popular Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel jokingly lost it after Soulja Boy accidentally cost them their match in Among Us. The former Overwatch pro hilariously exploded after the rapper made a rookie mistake. Despite releasing in 2018, Among Us has taken the industry by storm in 2020. Its stressful gameplay often leads to intense moments between players, which has made it incredible entertainment on streaming services. This is what happened when Twitch star xQc teamed up with popular musician Soulja Boy during a September 26 broadcast. The former Overwatch pro lost it after the rapper ended their match with a hilarious mistake. xQc explodes after Soulja Boy makes Among Us mistake The Canadian streamer was in a lobby with chart-topping artist Soulja Boy when the match came to a swift end after the rapper failed to do his task. The musician had been following xQc around thinking that he might be the imposter. However, when it came time for him to fix the sabotaged reactor on the map, the 30-year-old didn’t actually know how to do the hand scanner task. This immediately brought the match to an end. Hilariously, xQc exploded and screamed, “SOULJA BOY WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? HOLD THE BUTTON. HOLD THE F**KING BUTTON!” Soulja Boy laughed and yelled back, “I held the button! I held that s**t for a long a** time!” Souljaboy and xQc in the same lobby was the content I never knew I needed in life LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pic.twitter.com/Lf2NqqhTeE — Classify 😼 (@Class) September 26, 2020 Of course, the two were screaming at each other in good fun as the whole lobby broke into laughter. Several streamers in the group had to explain to the musician what he had done wrong, as he had failed to hold the right button down. The viral moment is made even all the more comical when you see it from xQc’s point of view. The streamer was completely baffled as to why Soulja Boy was following him around and not fixing the reactor. “Soulja Boy what the f**k are you doing?!” he screamed. This isn’t the first time the rapper has accidentally screwed up an Among Us match. During a September 25 stream, he forgot to mute his microphone and outed himself as the imposter to his lobby when talking to viewers. However, the artist has always taken it in good stride. xQc continues to be one of the top personalities on Twitch with over 3.6 million followers. Viewers flock to watch the Canadian’s explosive personality. It appears Lengyel has found his equal, as Soulja Boy was able to match his screaming level – which was entertainment gold for their audiences.

xQc explodes with rage after CSGO experience goes south – Dexerto
xQc explodes with rage after CSGO experience goes south Twitch: xQcOW / ValveFélix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is known for his quick speech and explosive rants, but the Overwatch pro’s anger was turned up to a whole new level, after his experience with CSGO was riddled with setbacks that had him slamming his fists with rage. xQc is considered one of the best tanks in Overwatch, even making team Canada’s roster for the Overwatch World Cup in 2019. The Canadian has also amassed a huge following on Twitch where he streams a variety of games. While the streamer has been known to go off when something angers him, his awful experience with CSGO on September 1st saw him seeing red like never before. xQc got mad at another player Things got off to a rough start for Twitch star, after one of the players in his CS:GO ranked match decided to pause. The Canadian was not happy with it and went off, yelling at him for wasting his time. “I have never paused the game before. 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 **** like you, why do you pause games? F***** tell me!” he screamed at the player. CSGO is still one of the most popular games on Twitch. Clearly trolling, the other player began to act like he was crying, which only irritated the Overwatch pro further. “Look at me, and tell me! Why would you pause!?” he screamed. The other player mockingly said he had to pee, which xQc replied “Then why are you telling me this? Why? So I give a ***? I don’t give a *** about it. Why don’t you go take a piss!” xQc finally lost it As if to pour salt in the wound, the Canadian streamer had just killed someone, when he turned down a corridor and was killed himself, which sent him into an absolute fit of rage. Th Overwatch pro slammed his fists down hard on the desk repeatedly and then launched into a angry rant. “I don’t get it! When I shoot while jumping, my bullets fly to Jupiter, dude! When I am moving or jumping, my bullets go over here!” He stood up and physically acted out his bullets flying with his arms before continuing, and shouted “They go to f**** Africa! How? Can someone explain to me?!” While people are used to the streamer going off from time to time, the Twitch star seemed angrier than usual at his CSGO mishaps. xQc is one of the most popular Twitch streamers on the platform, with over 1.5 million followers as of the time of this article.

xQc explains why Twitch’s new simulcasting policy could be its downfall – Dexerto
xQc explains why Twitch’s new simulcasting policy could be its downfall Twitch: xQcxQc dropped his take on Twitch’s new simulcasting, or multi-casting, policy, saying that it could lead to a “flip” in the industry that damages Twitch’s reputation as the go-to site for streaming. Twitch had previously allowed for streamers to simulcast to other platforms via mobile devices, but recently banned it for all creators, including non-affiliated streamers. While reacting to Ninja’s announcement that he’d begin streaming on Kick, YouTube and other alternative platforms, xQc broke down the economics behind the policy, and what it could mean for the future of the industry. xQc reacts to Ninja streaming on Kick and YouTube rather than Twitch “Ok, so this is a very simple economic concept that applies here. What Twitch is saying is ‘Stream only on Twitch because you want to stream on the place that’s most relevant that you can grow the most on’ and people will always mostly choose Twitch. “And as the changes go, people will multicast and say ‘f*ck Twitch, I’m going to do YouTube, Kick, TikTok, Rumble, all the other ones’ and that will create a relevant switch. “At one point people will go ‘OK, I’m going to go to the most relevant one, I’m definitely not going to go to Twitch anymore’ when that starts shifting. That’s just how that works, unfortunately.” xQc also predicted that the ban on simulcasting means that Twitch ends up relying heavily on its reputation, which could backfire if they continue losing faith within the streaming industry. “So at this stage, Twitch is saying ‘f*ck y’all, use the best one which is us’, but as they do that they force you to choose, and that will dwindle down slowly until it completely flips, and when that flips, it’s impossible to go back. Once it flips, it’s GG.” For more news and updates on the backlash to Twitch from the streaming community, check out Ninja’s reaction to the “tone-deaf” Twitch policies introduced earlier this week.

xQc explains why Streamlabs allowed him to break exclusive contract rules – Dexerto
xQc explains why Streamlabs allowed him to break exclusive contract rules Twitch: xqcow / StreamlabsFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has detailed his experience working with Streamlabs, explaining why the streaming software company allowed him to break out of his exclusive contract for a one-off broadcast. Streamlabs are a Logitech-owned livestreaming software company. Towards the end of 2021 they received heavy criticism for copying other people’s branding and trading under the name ‘OBS’ without having ties to the original company. Watching a video on-stream titled ‘The 2022 Twitch Iceberg explained‘ by Syrmaa, xQc reacted to a breakdown of issues that the company faced in recent months. As a former sponsor of his, xQc delved into the details of his exclusive contract. The biggest streamer on Twitch didn’t hold back when describing how they failed to live up to expectations when attempting to host a media share broadcast. In the proposed event, donations would let viewers play videos directly to stream. A utility that Streamlabs lacked. After reaching out to the company to see if they could implement that feature xQc stated: “After a while, they came back to me and they were like dude, you know what? Our sh*t is so garbage, we’re gonna allow you to breach contract and use StreamElements just for the event.” Pulling his punches as the video continued, Felix walked back his comments on the company. “All jokes aside, there are some good advantages to using it, they have good tech, there are advantages. Pick and choose.” Comments in a Reddit thread discussing xQc’s opinion heavily agreed with the inadequacies of the program. One user stated: “The only big streamers with Streamlabs are the ones that are paid. Everyone else uses StreamElements.” Since finishing up with his exclusive contract, xQc has been using OBS to stream his content, leaving Streamlabs, and their issues, far behind. Having not missed a beat despite this partnership ending, xQc has continued to dominate Twitch at every turn, smashing viewership records and leaving little room for anyone else to catch up.

xQc explains why trash-talk in Overwatch is a “two-way” contract – Dexerto
xQc explains why trash-talk in Overwatch is a “two-way” contract Blizzard EntertainmentOverwatch players who think they can trash-talk their teammates with no repercussions are sorely mistaken, according to popular Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel. xQc is definitely no stranger to talking smack, especially during a heated Overwatch match or two, but he felt like some people may get the wrong impression behind the veil of anonymity online. So when chat brought up an instance where xQc called out a viewer for talking trash, Felix explained that the moment someone “talks shit” online, they automatically enter into a “two-way” contract. Sorry, it’s non-negotiable “If you can’t handle being shit-talked to, don’t talk shit, you complete pussy,” Felix told viewers. “Nope, not allowed, it is illegal.” Using Overwatch as an example, Felix explained that if someone talked shit in the game lobby, then he had every right to fire back with some stuff of his own. “If someone talks shit in the game lobby, and I talk shit back, we have a two-way contract now,” xQc said. “He talked shit, he signed the contract saying, ‘I will be flamed,’ and I flamed him for it.” “Nobody should be allowed to report, except this guy, and even then he’s a pussy for doing it, but still,” Felix informed his chat as the match began, before throwing in one last, “It’s a two-way contract.” How to understand what xQc is saying If you find yourself not being able to understand xQc is some of his clips, know you’re not alone, and Twitch streamer “ItsSlikeR” seems to have found a way to make Felix speak a little clearer. The ingenious solution only requires viewers to switch the playback speed of the clip to half speed and Felix talks a lot slower, but it’s much easier to make out what he’s saying. This technique doesn’t clear everything xQc says up completely, but it’s pretty funny how much easier it makes him to understand in clips.

xQc explains why Smash Bros esports has more potential than Overwatch – Dexerto
xQc explains why Smash Bros esports has more potential than Overwatch Robert Paul/Blizzard Entertainment/NintendoTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel had an interesting take when comparing Overwatch and Smash Bros esports scenes based on investment and popularity. To literally illustrate his point, the former Overwatch League pro loaded up Microsoft Paint and created a chart. “My analysis is that the way to determine if something is dead, not overall, but on its own, you need to figure this out,” he began. “This is the result,” he said while drawing a red bar in the diagram. “And then this is how much is being put into it,” the Winston main continued, drawing a larger blue bar next to the red one. According to xQc, by investing more into a game, its popularity could go a lot higher than it otherwise would without that added investment. “At some point it [the investment] will make sense,” he added. With the idea now presented, the French Canadian proceeded to show how this applied to Overwatch League and drew a small red bar indicating the lack of popularity and a massive blue one referencing the millions many investors paid. When it came time to draw the potential with all the extra cash, Lengyel just added a bit more red to the bar, suggesting that Overwatch League doesn’t benefit that much from all the investment. “I want to be wrong about this!” he confessed. “It’s just that it’s a crazy amount of resources being put in. Look at other scenes, look at Smash. Smash is like this…” Felix then added another red bar, showing it was more popular than Overwatch and then a very small blue one depicting the lack of funding the scene has. “They barely have enough funding to give free snacks to the pro players! They have to get their food from vending machines,” he screamed. “But they still pull good numbers and there’s not a lot of involvement.” For Lengyel, he believes it’s time, given Smash’s popularity, for it to “go boom.” While Overwatch was popular when it first came out, xQc says Blizzard messed up by not putting resources into the game when it was hot on the market. Hopefully, Nintendo can change policies and start to do more to help the Smash scene, especially considering the game’s incredible popularity and potential.

xQc explains why social media influencers “don’t help anyone” – Dexerto
xQc explains why social media influencers “don’t help anyone” L: xQc/Twitch. R: Unsplash.Top Twitch streamer Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel claims that social media influencers are not helping anybody and he’s glad that they haven’t reached into streaming just yet. The former Overwatch League professional has never been one to hold back on his opinions – weighing in on a whole host of subjects during his time on Twitch. He’s taken on anything from raging about captcha log-ins and the modern internet, to why Android is better than iPhone, but he’s now directed his focus on the growing culture of social media influencers. The former Overwatch player has racked up a loyal following on Twitch. During his July 13 stream, the former Overwatch player had been reacting to a video centered around social media influencers and their opinions on their job. The streamer quickly took issue with their comments, especially when two participants opened up on ‘inspiring’ people and ultimately helping them. “Theres a billion reasons to go into streaming dude, and to go into YouTube or whatever, but if you say ‘Oh dude, I went to help people” started xQc. “Posting your toes on a beach on Instagram doesn’t help anyone dude, shut up.” It didn’t take long for some members of his chat to state that he himself is an influencer because of his standing on Twitch. While xQc didn’t address those comments directly, he took a larger look at the livestreaming platform itself. The Candian continued: “Twitch is a higher tier of influencing, but nobody that streams really flexes the influencing potential.” He further explained that the livestreaming platform gives broadcasters the chance to become influencers quickly, but you would be hard pressed to find someone who solely dedicates themselves to plugging merchandise or sponsorships over streaming. Of course, it’s not out of the ordinary to find streamers taking on short sponsored streams for certain new releases or computer peripherals. It’s a topic that Michael ‘shroud’ Grzesiek touched on back in March, explaining that it was something fans were probably going to have to get used to. Yet, considering his comments, it’s probably unlikely that xQc spins his streaming success into full-blown influencer career any time soon.

xQc Explains Why Ninja Will Win Streamer of the Year at Esports Awards Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel thinks that Ninja will win Streamer of the Year at the Esports Awards, but also offered his own views on what makes streamers special. The former Overwatch pro believes that numbers are the most important factor for the Esports Awards to determine Streamer of the Year. xQc was responding to fans in his chat when the subject of Streamer of the Year came up. His fans said they would vote for him, which caused xQc to respond. Ninja is going to win it. I appreciate your votes though, thank you so much for you guys believing in me. He would go on to say that there is no good way to determine who the “best” streamer is. The best streamer might have 60 viewers and never grow from there. Maybe he is good at building a community and doing exactly what they want in a way that he likes it. Read More: Twitch Streamer Fedmyster Banned After Racist Text to Speech Donation Slipped Through Filter – Since xQc believes the best streamer can’t be quantified, popularity might be the only way to determine the Streamer of the Year award. I like the gesture [for Streamer of the Year] but numbers speak and Ninja popped off. I believe that Ninja deserves it. Ninja’s Twitch channel hit almost 250,000 subscribers at one point, by far the most on the platform. xQc is also popular on the streaming service and is estimated to be in the top 20 in subscriber count.

xQc explains why Samsung phones are better than iPhones iMore / Blizzard / SamsungPopular Twitch streamer and Overwatch pro Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has a passionate stance on the Android vs iPhone debate. xQc discussed the matter during a live stream on February 22, where he revealed a passionate bias toward Samsung’s products over Apple’s line of smart phones. The streamer argued that Samsung’s high price points are justified due to their phones’ innovative features, while claiming that Apple puts out relatively similar products with new names upon each release. “You get innovation, you get something new – a breath of fresh air,” xQc said of Samsung. “But with Apple… you get the same damn fucking trash phone!” Read More: Elon Musk finally hosts PewDiePie’s ‘Meme Review’ in last-ditch effort to fend off T-Series – He went on to argue that Apple’s popularity stems from a ‘fashion-over-function’ philosophy, with buyers willing to bite the bullet on price to stay on top of a supposed trend. https://www.wired.com/story/samsung-galaxy-fold-revealed/“It’s okay to pay $1,500 for my Apple product,” he continued. “Because as Apple, I [have the] 1.96 juicer chip. And you don’t even know what the fuck that is, dude!” xQc’s passionate argument in favor of Samsung came about after discussing the brand’s upcoming ‘Galaxy Fold’ smart phone, which opens and shuts like a touch-screen book or wallet. https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/galaxy-fold-problems-3663615While Samsung themselves have claimed that the Fold is for ‘early adopters’ over the average Joe, xQc feels that the brand is going to push another phone in its place – one that is likely more affordable, as the Fold clocks in at a whopping $1,980 at launch on April 26.

xQc explains why long-awaited Twitch subathon still hasn’t happened – Dexerto
xQc explains why long-awaited Twitch subathon still hasn’t happened xQc/TwitchTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel opened up about the subathon he’s been teasing since the beginning of 2021, and explained why it hasn’t happened yet. On April 27, xQc confirmed his plans for a subathon on Twitch which was supposed to be a massive 60-day long stream. He officially delayed the subathon in May, and has failed to mention when a potential start date could be since. Now, on October 26, the former Overwatch pro revealed information as to why the subathon was delayed, and why there might not be one for a long time. xQc on sleep problems delaying subathon On November 26, xQc opened up about the reasons why the ambitious subathon hasn’t happened yet. During the live stream he responded to a viewer who was curious about the subathon and said, “Dude, but I have sleep problems though. I literally can’t do s**t, I actually can’t do anything. I wake up f**king gasping for air every day. Literally every day. Absolute dogs**t. I wanna do a subathon, but if it happens on stream, it’s just weird. People are gonna get worried and s**t, it’ll be weird. It’s just gonna be odd.” xQc’s insomnia would seemingly interrupt any attempt at a 60-day subathon. And, since most streamers sleep on stream during theirs, fans would become worried for him if they saw him struggling. It is still possible viewers will get that 60-day subathon out of the star, but it might be a while until his problems with sleeping are fixed.

xQc explains why he actually likes strict Cyberpunk 2077 streaming rules – Dexerto
xQc explains why he actually likes strict Cyberpunk 2077 streaming rules Instagram: xqcow1 / CD Projekt RedCD Projekt Red just unveiled details surrounding content creation and early access for Cyberpunk 2077. While many believe the guidelines to be quite strict, Twitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has explained why he actually likes them. There’s no denying Cyberpunk 2077 is one the most hotly anticipated games in quite some time. After all, it has been seven years since the reveal trailer. The gaming industry has been salivating over every little detail since, and in a matter of days, it’ll finally be out in the wild. Before we get to the December 10 release date, however, a few lucky individuals have already secured some early copies. Be it through accidental early shipping, or popular content creators being provided early access. Regardless of how people got their hands on it, everyone has to follow a set of strict rules. Failing to do so will be met with harsh consequences. While various streamers were initially against this kind of approach, one of the biggest names on Twitch has spoken out in favor of CD Projekt Red’s decision. Here’s why xQc actually prefers the strict guidelines. “Our ambition is for gamers all across the world to have the same – spoiler-free – experience at the time the game releases,” the devs shared in a December 2 post. As a result of this goal, no one is allowed to stream or release content before the December 9 embargo that drops at 3 AM PT. Anyone that goes against this ruling will be met with copyright strikes and potentially face further legal action. Obviously, once this deadline expires, they want everyone to be sharing their experiences “like there’s no tomorrow.” CD Projekt RED warns content creators for #Cyberpunk2077 – no streams or uploads before 12PM CET on December 9! Only 8 days till release 👀 pic.twitter.com/xonoWXHsiA — Dexerto (@Dexerto) December 2, 2020 Reacting to the news, xQc explained why this approach is far better from a streamer’s perspective. In order to stream various other titles as soon as possible, xQc has had to jump through some hurdles. “The only games I got to stream early… I literally had to get someone’s account from New Zealand, pay them so they buy the game on my account, get the account back, change password, log in, and play early.” For other streamers, they’re often given early access codes. That’s never quite been the case for xQc though. Instead, he has to go about things in a more convoluted way. Manually accessing the game through a New Zealand-based account, the region where games unlock ahead of every other country. “I had to even out the playing field,” he explained. But thanks to these new guidelines from CD Projekt Red, that won’t be an issue with the launch of Cyberpunk 2077. “I’m happy that [they] took action in making sure the playing field is even across the board for the consumers.” “It’s better for everybody,” he added before going off on another tangent. Currently investing his time into GTA V, it’s clear that xQc is eager to take a trip down to Night City. Expect to see him, along with practically every other streamer, jumping into Cyberpunk 2077 as soon as the December 9 embargo comes to an end.

xQc explains why Kai Cenat’s Twitch ban can’t be for bike crash rumor – Dexerto
xQc explains why Kai Cenat’s Twitch ban can’t be for bike crash rumor Twitch: XQCKai Cenat, the most subscribed Twitch streamer of all time, has been banned from Twitch. As fans try to find out why, xQc has chimed in insisting that it can’t be for the bike crash that some are blaming. Popular streamer Kai Cenat hit with a surprise ban from Twitch on April 17, causing confusion in the streaming community. As usual, Twitch doesn’t reveal the ban reason publicly, even though they do inform the streamer. Some fans have speculated that his ban was due to an incident where Cenat crashed a dirt bike into his streaming setup. The crash cut the video entirely leaving viewers with just audio and a black screen. A couple of years back Twitch streamer Jinnytty received a ban from the platform for a similar reason after obstructing two other bikers and running a red light on a scooter. xQc doesn’t believe Kai Cenat’s Twitch ban was bike related Giving his thoughts on the topic, xQc has insisted that Kai’s Twitch ban can’t be for “anything big,” as some others are claiming. More specifically, xQc isn’t convinced the ban has anything to do with Kai’s bike crash accident. “Operating a motor vehicle on private property is fine you can do whatever the f**k you want,” xQc said, though, he wasn’t able to point to a specific reason for the ban. Elaborating further on his point xQc continued: “You can drive your own car in a parking lot that you own because it’s private property. You don’t even need a license, I’m pretty sure. It’s the same rules for your house. You can drive anything in your house if you want to.” One response to the video hypothesized the real reason Kai got banned: “He got banned because he liked Kick’s shoes more than Twitch it’s obvious.” Another user questioned what Twitch is trying to achieve with its approach to banning streamers: “Banning Twitch streamers without giving reason to just unban serves no purpose without telling the reason, there is no lesson to be learned.” As noted, Twitch isn’t going to reveal the reason, even though they’ve informed the streamer of what it is. It’ll be up to him to reveal it, if he can.

xQc explains why he was forced to abruptly end stream after viewers left in the dark – Dexerto
xQc explains why he was forced to abruptly end stream after viewers left in the dark Twitch: xQcFelix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has had yet another abrupt ending to a stream, after his session was ruined when his broadcast suddenly cut out due to a power outage. Streamers heavily depend on great game quality and internet connection for their careers. If not, it can be highly disruptive to their stream and makes it all the more difficult to keep their viewers entertained. It’s a problem that even the most popular content creators have encountered. It can also be particularly enraging when a streamer is in the middle of an intense playthrough as was the case with Dr Disrespect. xQc is no stranger to such issues either, and couldn’t escape from infuriating technical issues which ended up derailing his July 5 livestream. xQc’s Twitch stream brought to sudden end On July 6, xQc was in the middle of playing a game of PAYDAY 2 with his friends. All was well until 5 hours and 44 minutes into his livestream his connection cut out leaving viewers confused. Given how xQc’s livestreams can run for as long as up to 12 hours or more a day, fans were left puzzled by the unexpected ending. However, he later took to Twitter to explain that his “power went out” and that his computer was “bugging out for no reason.” POWER WENT OUT TWICE, COMPUTER BUGGIN OUT FOR NO REASON. SCUFFED STREAM, SHIT HAPPENS. WE’LL GO HARD TOMORROW, NO PROBLEM. SORRY ABOUT THAT GARBAGE. WE GOT THIS. CYA TOMORROW > — xQc (@xQc) July 6, 2022 Yet, he added that things would hopefully be back to normal as soon as possible and he would “go hard” in his next stream. This isn’t the first time xQc has encountered some tech issues. In January 2022, he was even forced to move home due to a string of technical issues while he was living in LA which became a recurring nightmare for the 25-year-old during his streams. However, this is seemingly the only serious tech blip for xQc since moving back to Canada. Hopefully, it will be the last.

xQc explains why he’s taken sudden break from streaming after TwitchCon – Dexerto
xQc explains why he’s taken sudden break from streaming after TwitchCon Twitter: xQcTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has given fans an update on his surprise break from streaming after he missed a day due to being sick. Plenty of Twitch streamers have developed a stream schedule that is unique to them – as they’ll stream for over 12 hours a day, every day of the week. That can take a toll, of course, and lead to them needing a break of some kind. Though, in the case of xQc, he rarely takes a break. He’s only been known to shut down his regular broadcasts when he needs to go back to Canada or he’s had security troubles at his house. Despite a grueling schedule at TwitchCon, the Canadian had kept up his regular streaming hours once he was done with the IRL meet and greets. However, he missed his October 13 stream despite saying he’d go live. xQc explains surprise stream break following TwitchCon The former Overwatch pro told fans that he wasn’t feeling too good, but promised to go live anyway. That didn’t happen though, leaving fans in the dark for a few hours. Ultimately, xQc dropped an update a few hours later, confirming that he was struggling with his illness. “I’m feeling bad so I bought this test thing and it’s got two lines, right, which is positive,” the streaming star said. “I got another one and it’s positive again. “Now, I’m getting absolutely obliterated. Breathing is fine, I have a headache, all my muscles hurt, it feels like getting attacked in the muscles. Yeah, that’s about it. I’ll report tomorrow with more developments.” Plenty of fans and other streamers gave xQc their well wishes, hoping that he recovers before long and takes some time off stream to make sure he does feel ready to go. It remains to be seen as to how long he’ll be away from his streams for, but we can only hope he has a speedy recovery.

xQc explains why he thinks Dr Disrespect is being quiet about Twitch ban – Dexerto
xQc explains why he thinks Dr Disrespect is being quiet about Twitch ban Twitch: xQcOw / Dr Disrespect[jwplayer Y7PB7YwV]During a July 16 broadcast, Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel reacted to Dr Disrespect’s first interview since being banned on Twitch in June. The former Overwatch pro explained why he thinks the streamer is being so quiet about his removal from the platform. On June 26, Twitch unexpectedly banned one of their biggest stars, Dr Disrespect. Weeks later, fans are still no closer to finding out the reason why, as the streaming company has not made any further statements explaining the shock decision. However, Doc finally broke his silence on July 16, and opened up to several outlets about the suspension. Reacting to his responses, popular streamer xQc explained to viewers why he thinks the Two-Time Champion is not saying much. xQc explains why he thinks Dr Disrespect is quiet While reading the interview with PC Gamer, xQc gave his take on the subject of him not currently being interested in becoming exclusive to another platform. “I’m going to take an educated guess, and I hope it’s not taken the wrong way. But it’s kind of the other way around,” he said. “I think depending on what happened, I don’t think the streaming platforms are interested in getting into an exclusive if Twitch doesn’t want to anymore.” On the subject of why Dr Disrespect didn’t take to social media to contest his ban, the Canadian explained, “Even if it’s not legal trouble, if you make a statement or just anything, even like a hello on social media, it’s a display of character. It’s a display of state. It’s like “Oh man, you looked happy there.” I feel like it’s a risk that some people may not want to take.” The 24-year-old then stated that he didn’t think he was lying about not being told the reason for his ban, but is skeptical that he doesn’t have any idea whatsoever what it could be. “He’s not lying by saying that he doesn’t know why, but I’m pretty sure they at least have some sort of good idea of what it could be. Definitely, dude.” Lastly, the streamer also hit out at critics who questioned why Doc didn’t outright deny any allegations in the interview. “They’re saying “but he didn’t say no!” … Dude, this is just a safety net for the interview. Look, [the interviewer] already asked two possible things he could have gotten banned for, now a third. I think he’s just being like, “just stop with those f**king guesses. What is this, like trial and error dude?” (Topic starts at 2:24.) During his broadcast, the former Overwatch streamer told his audience that he wouldn’t “speculate” as to why Dr Disrespect was banned, and cautioned viewers from making assumptions. xQc also theorized that other companies might be interested in doing a multi-stream with Doc where he can go live on multiple platforms “simultaneously.” While the Canadian is usually known for his variety content and explosive personality, Lengyel often gives his in-depth takes on the streaming industry. The veteran continues to be one of the most watched personalities on Twitch with over 3.2 million followers to his channel at the time of writing.

xQc explains why he is moving on from GTA RP again – Dexerto
xQc explains why he is moving on from GTA RP again Twitch: xQcOW / NoPixel / RockstarTwitch megastar Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has shed light on why he’s finally “ready to move on” from GTA RP yet again, citing the highs and lows of the game throughout his time being one of the major focal points of the RP mod. The flurry of streamers trying their hand at GTA RP over recent months has been more so headlined by xQc, as the French-Canadian streamer has seen his fair share of spectacular moments within the game, albeit, with a few lows, including multiple bans from the NoPixel server. While we’ve seen other streamers move onto other titles after their test at GTA RP, xQc was one of the few top streamers that stuck with the game, and his character, Jean Paul has become synonymous with wild criminal activities. But, it appears Lengyel is finally ready to move back into his normal routine of variety streaming, as he’s cited numerous reasons for this transition. xQc “ready to move on” from GTA RP While xQc was primarily known in the past for his Overwatch and variety gameplay, the streamer has leaned towards GTA RP in recent months and has seen quite the success. As people would flock to follow the adventures of Jean Paul every day. Read More: Have xQc and Adept broken up? – In recent weeks, the multiplayer mod has taken a back seat to other games, with xQc more often than not being found playing the game off-stream. Though, on August 6, he said he’s “ready to move on” once again. Lengyel noted how he “did it from the top, to the bottom. We did it a lot when it was good, when it was bad. We did it when it was hyped, when it wasn’t. We did it when everyone was loving it and when everyone was hating it.” He also commented on how “it’s brought a lot of good times, a lot of problems” and then stated, “I’m ready to move on, it is what it is.” While we don’t know if this means for certain if xQc is done with GTA RP altogether, it does signal he may be taking an indefinite break for the time being as he has done before. The former Overwatch pro hasn’t been able to stay away from RP, so expect to see him back when a new update rolls out.

xQc claims cancel culture isn’t real: “You can’t cancel me” – Dexerto
xQc claims cancel culture isn’t real: “You can’t cancel me” Twitch: xQcOWTwitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel hit out at cancel culture during his May 3 stream, and explained why he will “never” be cancelled. He encouraged streamers to stop reacting to those upset at their past amid the controversy surrounding Disguised Toast. The streaming community was rocked in April when popular personalities such as Karl Jacobs and Jeremy ‘Disguised Toast’ Wang faced backlash for comments ands jokes they had made in the past. xQc reacted to the controversy and slammed those cancelling the Offline TV member. The Twitch content creator argued that fellow streamers should not apologize as cancel culture isn’t actually “real.” xQc explains why he cannot be “cancelled” Lengyel addressed Disguised Toast’s “cancellation” during his live broadcast, and explained why he would never write a lengthy apology for past content or actions. “Guys I’ve said this before, I will say it again. You’re never gonna have me do some stupid s**t like this” he said, pointing towards the OfflineTV member’s May 2 Twitlonger. “You’re not gonna manipulate me like a puppet. “Oh be this, or do that for me.” The Canadian argued that online personalities are not actually being cancelled. “Because cancelling isn’t real. You’re not gonna f**king cancel me. Unless you de-platform me literally, or unless I can’t go live, and I can’t tweet, and I can’t post videos I’m not cancelled. You cannot cancel me. It’s just never gonna happen. So come at me b**ch, I don’t give a f**k.” The 25-year old then urged fellow streamers and content creators to stop reacting to people upset with them. “I don’t know why people have to react to this. They don’t have to. Cancel culture isn’t even real. Nobody is getting cancelled. Not a single person has been cancelled in the past years. Yet everyone makes a billion tweets and videos and they all sit around “I apologize x, y, z, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 , 6. They don’t have to. You can’t get cancelled!” (Topic starts at 00:56) xQc also reacted to streamer Ludwig Ahgren’s rant about those cancelling Karl Jacobs: “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. You just grew up in a time where people happened to be more progressive.” The Smash pro followed up his comments and said, “You were not born holier and mightier. You’re just coasting off everybody else’s work,” to which Lengyel said, “True!” before calling the fellow Twitch star “based” for his take. It’s not entirely clear how these cancel campaigns will continue to impact online entertainers, although it’s certainly sparked a debate in the streaming community.

xQc explains why he deleted his Hinge dating profile after Adept breakup – Dexerto
xQc explains why he deleted his Hinge dating profile after Adept breakup Twitch: xQc / HingeTwitch star xQc revealed that he created, and subsequently deleted, his profile on the Hinge dating app following his highly-publicized breakup with ex-girlfriend Adept earlier this month. Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is one of Twitch’s most-followed streamers of all time. Boasting over 11 million followers on the purple platform, xQc is a bonafide internet star. However, even top-tier streamers are looking for love — and so is xQc, following his breakup with ex-girlfriend Adept in early September. The two notably unfollowed each other on social media around September 15, with xQc saying he felt “cornered” by his former girlfriend and that he had to choose between his romantic relationship and his family. On September 16, they clashed in a heated argument that took place during one of xQc’s live streams, where around 125,000 viewers watched the spat happen in real time. He later apologized to Adept for the incident, and the two seem to have smoothed their issues over. xQc opens up on dating life after Adept break up Weeks later, it looks like ‘the Juicer’ is back on the dating scene, saying at the end of a recent stream that he’d actually created a profile on Hinge — but quickly deleted it. “I had made a profile on Hinge, but I deleted it,” he explained. “So that’s out of the way. …that Hinge profile was not it. I feel like I wanna try the avenues of the people that I kind of already know, that I kind of like a little bit before trying out dating apps.” “I feel like people that are using dating apps are in the same position as me, but even more down bad, because they kinda have to go on the app,” he joked. “I’m gonna put it in the back pocket for now.” (Topic begins at 2:30) The streamer also admitted that he is “kind of happy” after his breakup as he goes on dates to find someone new. “It kind of felt good,” he said said of his latest outing. “To look at somebody, and somebody’s looking at me in a way that isn’t hostile or bad, or weird. It was just kind of good. It was refreshing. I kind of forgot how that felt, to be honest.” xQc isn’t the only one eschewing dating apps for the time being; fellow streamer Valkyrae also admitted to deleting all the dating apps off her phone in a previous YouTube video, saying that she’s “too paranoid” she would get recognized by fans.
