The Franco-Canadian streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel (27) is currently the biggest streamer on Twitch. He is known for speaking incredibly fast and not very clearly. This has now taken on completely absurd proportions, as the streamer seems to no longer understand himself.
How did xQc come to this realization? The streamer, who holds the number 1 spot worldwide with nearly 14,700 hours of watch time in 30 days (via sullygnome), is in a competition with his Swedish Twitch colleague Forsen. The two are trying to outdo each other in speedruns of the block game Minecraft.
Since Forsen set a new record on March 23, 2023, xQc has started countless runs to reclaim his title. After a total of 277 hours, he finally managed to beat Forsen’s time on May 7.
Immediately afterwards, xQc watched the VoD of the run and explained to his viewers what had gone through his mind at certain moments. However, he suddenly realized that not even he fully understands what he is saying.
Hopefully, these German streamers did not experience something similar when they heard their voices for the first time in a video game.
Not even xQc understands the “Juicer”
In what way does he no longer understand himself? When xQc listens to himself, it suddenly becomes clear to him what his chat has been saying for years: He actually speaks quite unclearly. The streamer is even confused about what his past self intended to say about 20 minutes ago.
We have embedded the relevant clip and a translation here:
I don’t know what he is saying. I don’t understand how anyone can sit here and actually watch and listen to this crap.
What did he actually say? Fortunately, there are the fans of the “Juicers,” as they call him. They have years of practice listening to him and can translate for him. In the LivestreamFail subreddit, where the clip was shared, multiple viewers provided their translations.
As it turns out, xQc was considering whether to go back down to get a thread he may have left there (via Reddit).
Other Reddit users are impressed by the fans’ skills and jokingly wonder where these talents could be applied elsewhere: Surely someone who understands xQc could decipher damaged audio recordings and help solve criminal cases (via Reddit).
xQc’s admission of not understanding what he is saying is already the second surprisingly self-reflective statement from the streamer in just a few days. Already at the end of April, he admitted that gaming around the clock and eating fast food does not necessarily make one happy:
