The biggest streamer on Twitch is currently Felix “xQc” Lengyel and the biggest game is the 8-year-old GTA 5. In GTA, the roleplay server “No Pixel 3.0” has been extremely popular for weeks. However, xQc was permanently banned from the server: The hothead felt wronged once again and lost his temper on Easter Sunday.
This is the situation on Twitch: No major new game has been released that makes waves on Twitch for a long time. Therefore, the classics dominate.
The biggest games on Twitch right now are LoL, Fortnite, and MineCraft. And of course GTA 5: Through the roleplay server “No Pixel 3.0”, the game is experiencing its third or fourth spring in 2021. On the server, streamers playing cops chase other streamers playing criminals, or one just lives as a burger-flipper.
The biggest streamers on Twitch right now are Ludwig, whose endless stream is still going, and the Twitch troublemaker of the hour, xQc. He has been on a roll for months, providing constant entertainment for his viewers. His fans expect action, conflict, drama, and outbursts from him. And they get all that: Since his debut in the Overwatch League in 2018, it has been known that xQc is a hothead who can’t control himself in tricky situations.
The Canadian xQc is increasingly becoming the “villain of Twitch”: His viewers love him, but he constantly gets into conflict with other streamers.
Dead Cop Fails xQc – who then freaks out
This is the new ban from GTA 5: The Twitch streamer xQc had trouble once again with the player police in GTA 5. Just a few weeks ago, xQc was banned, because he shot a cop from inside the prison cell.
The misfortune unfolded last night after xQc killed a police officer in GTA 5 Online, who was played by another streamer. The “dead police officer” relayed this information to other streamers: He murmured, choking: “It was X.”
xQc, who was observing this situation, then cursed: “The guy is meta-gaming while he is dead.” The accusation was that the cop wasn’t properly “playing his role”, but was breaking the rules.
Ban Reason: xQc Incites Viewers to Harass Other Streamers
Ultimately, this led to an escalation of the situation. xQc’s character was arrested. xQc’s viewers engaged in “chat hopping”: They switched to the streams of other Twitch streamers and advocated for xQc by attacking and insulting the other streamers. Such behavior is frowned upon on Twitch.
xQc seemed to fuel this behavior further. He said: It wouldn’t be the fault of the “chat hoppers”; they were just criticizing the bad behavior of others.
One of the Twitch streamers attacked claimed that one of xQc’s viewers who flamed him was “a brain-dead Neanderthal” who complained about something no one had done to protect someone who didn’t even know that he existed.
Ultimately, this led to xQc’s ban.
This is the third ban xQc receives on the “No Pixel” server. All three were accompanied by the message that they were permanent. However, the first two were lifted after a while.
First Flame, Then Apologize
This is xQc’s reaction:
- As in the past, xQc initially reacted incredulously. It was all unfair. The “cops” would ban him because he was winning.
- Later, xQc apologized for his temper. He was in a bad mood at the end of the stream and became unreasonable. He urged his fans to stay calm and not attack other streamers.
Accusation: xQc Rises on the Backs of Roleplayers
This is the conflict: The accusation against xQc is that he generates a lot of attention with his aggressive playstyle, but at the expense of other streamers on the server. The others thus become extras in xQc’s game.
A police officer tells him clearly that it would be better if he disappeared from the “city” forever, meaning he should never show up on the No Pixel server of GTA 5 again.
xQc, however, has no intention of disappearing from No Pixel. He responds to the cop: “I’ll be back on the street soon!”
The pattern “xQc against everyone else” has been a topic of conversation since December 2020: That was when the trend began for roleplayers to band together in large online projects on Twitch with the survival MMO Rust. Back then, xQc used the roleplay of others “for his stream.” This leads to conflicts time and again:
50 streamers play nicely in a survival MMO, now the bad guy from Twitch is coming
