The former Overwatch professional Félix “xQc” Lengyel was long the number 1 on Twitch. This often leads to invitations to events. However, the 27-year-old has a habit of regularly forgetting his commitments or withdrawing at the last moment.
What kind of event is this? The Streamy Awards are an award given for exceptional achievements in online television. In addition to categories for various web series, there is also a prize for the best vloggers.
At this year’s award ceremony, in addition to wrestlers, TikTok stars, and the Minecraft YouTuber Dream, the Twitch streamer xQc is also set to appear as a presenter. However, the 27-year-old had no idea about this and only found out through Twitter. The moment was captured live on stream.
Never agree to an appearance at 5 AM
What was the situation like? On August 22, xQc streamed the Opening Night Live of gamescom 2023 in his stream. However, something on his second monitor apparently caught the streamer’s attention and distracted him from the ongoing trailer.
In a Twitter post, xQc was announced as a presenter at the Streamy Awards. A clip captures the exact moment when the Twitch streamer processes what he sees, leading to a look of disbelief. We have embedded it here for you:
xQc shows his viewers the post with the words “Wait, I’m presenting an award?” and then explains: He must have agreed to it around 5 AM before going to sleep and then forgotten about it.
The streamer then asks his chat when the event will take place – information that he could also gather from the tweet, but perhaps the 27-year-old simply couldn’t believe his eyes.
The information that the award ceremony already takes place next Sunday, August 27, causes xQc to exclaim a stunned “What? On Sunday?” while his viewers seem to be thoroughly entertained.
Until then, the streamer at least has a few days to prepare for his appearance – or to cancel it.
The second screen, on which xQc discovered the shocking news, is, according to the Twitch streamer, also one of the secrets of his great success. The 27-year-old deliberately produces content that his viewers can let run in the background.
