xQc pulls in a surprising amount of viewers while playing Minecraft When streamer Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel got his main account suspended from Overwatch on Friday he dramatically declared he was \u201cdone with the game\u201d 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\u2019s playing Minecraft instead of Overwatch. Reddit user matheusvs pointed out on the OverwatchTMZ subreddit that , at one point, xQc\u2019s 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 \u2018Jayne\u2019 Conroy, have come to the streamer\u2019s defense after he got banned. \u201cI\u2019d love to see Blizzard working with xQc instead of banning him, especially with their new streamer project,\u201d 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. \u2014 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\u2019t be seeing xQc play Overwatch until mid-December, if he decides to go back at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
