xQc Banned and Suspended Again, Will Possibly Quit Overwatch
By Nicholas Barth ·
Why was xQc banned? That is the question on many minds after xQc was banned and suspended from his Overwatch account during his recent stream.
Felix “xQc” Lengyel is one of the most popular members of the Overwatch community with his Twitch live streams routinely bringing in over tens of thousands of viewers. However, the former Dallas Fuel Overwatch League player and member of Team Canada's Overwatch World Cup team is also one of the most controversial personalities on the platform of Twitch and the community for Blizzard Entertainment's popular first person shooter esports title and has been banned for alleged toxicity during online matches. Now, xQc has once again been banned when he realized on his Twitch stream that his Overwatch account had been suspended.
Why Was xQc Banned?
Late Friday, November 13th saw the player attempt to log into his account on his Twitch stream, but the streamer soon realized that his account had been suspended and that he was banned from currently playing the first person shooter game.
Discussing his account being banned once again, xQc stated that he did not know if he wants to continue putting the majority of his energy and effort for his Twitch stream into Overwatch and that his being suspended again led him to state that he believes he is "kind of done with it".
It remains to be seen what title the streamer will move on to for streaming on his Twitch channel. With xQc having seen success in the past streaming a variety of other games, the former Overwatch League player for the Dallas Fuel could move into the realm of variety streaming as the majority of his viewers tune in to watch the unique personality of xQc himself and not necessarily him playing Overwatch.
While xQc has risen to fame from his time as a high profile member of the Overwatch community, the controversial relationship between the Twitch streamer and the esports title, which has seen xQc being banned and suspended for a multitude of days on multiple occasions, could be finally over, especially with the latest instance of xQc being banned and having his account suspended by Blizzard Entertainment.
