The new tactical shooter Valorant plays more like Counterstrike than Overwatch, but Twitch streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel shows that the old Overwatch tricks work here too. With a crazy Junkrat stunt, he achieves an impressive victory.
Who is xQc? XQc was once an Overwatch professional player. He got into serious trouble there due to his controversial behavior.
He has since moved away from eSports and works as a highly popular Twitch streamer. He is very successful there because he is both entertaining and skilled.
Many young viewers enjoy watching him play or during “Just Chatting”.
What did he do in Valorant? xQc is not just a playful jokester, but a good shooter player. In Overwatch, he specialized in tanks, but naturally knows the tricks and mechanics of all heroes: including the special moves of the hero Junkrat.
However, while in Overwatch you know what to watch out for with a Junkrat opponent, that is not the case in Valorant yet. Thus, xQc surprised both his teammates and opponents alike when he pulled off the same stunt with the new agent Raze as he did with Junkrat.
Raze can use explosive packs to injure and push back opponents. However, the pushback works on the agent herself as well. Therefore, xQc utilized the familiar game mechanic and catapulted himself with an explosive double jump in a wide arc around a corner, where an opponent was lurking.
The enemy stood no chance, as xQc lined him up mid-air and took him out. This secured xQc and his team the round victory, and his teammates were ecstatic.
xqc criticizes colleagues who announce their departure from Overwatch
What annoys xQc right now: The top streamer finds Valorant great, but one thing annoys him regarding Riot’s new team shooter. Many well-known streamers are currently flocking away from Overwatch to Valorant and proudly declare beforehand that they have had enough and will not return.
xQc does not understand this behavior: “I really don’t get it. I don’t understand why people have to make a statement that they are giving up on the game [Overwatch] now. I don’t know what that is supposed to mean: “Hey guys, look, I am an Overwatch creator. Hey, I am now giving up Overwatch forever, f**k you all!” That is really strange.”
That’s why xQC finds this behavior stupid: For xQc, the behavior of his streamer colleagues is highly questionable. Because if players eventually return to Overwatch after such a statement, they will appear like cowards and hypocrites.
“You come off as cowards. It doesn’t help, it simply doesn’t help! When have I ever done something like that? I’ve never done that. I’m not such a hypocrite!”
However, it should be noted that xQc has also left Overwatch several times. However, he never made a big deal out of it and did not proudly announce it on social media.
However, xQc recently had to sit out a ban on Twitch because he played a strip tease game.
