The former Overwatch professional Félix “xQc” Lengyel was for a long time the number 1 on Twitch and is considered one of the greatest streamers in the world. Nevertheless, he was dissatisfied and envious of his colleagues, as he now admitted.
What is xQc all about? From 2020 to mid-2023, Félix “xQc” Lengyel was by far the most-watched streamer on Twitch. However, in June 2023 he signed a million-dollar contract with the streaming competitor Kick.
He now shares his streams between the two platforms, which makes his pure Twitch statistics not as impressive anymore. In a recent stream, xQc revealed that he had been annoyed for years about the deals of his colleagues.
xQc thinks the others have stopped trying
What was xQc annoyed about? While xQc was trying to break the Minecraft record of his arch-rival Forsen, he revealed how unfair he felt about the deals of his Twitch colleagues. While he did receive his own “sweet deal,” he was “eternally mad” about it.
“I was angry for years because all my colleagues at the time were getting huge sums – […] they all had damn contracts with all guarantees and they didn’t have to do anything.” xQc specifically mentions Imane “Pokimane” Anys, the “Queen of Twitch.”
These colleagues had little or no performance to deliver, just “sat around and did nothing.” For that, they received “fat payouts,” xQc said.
The streamer said: “When Twitch was booming, everyone got these deals where they just sat around and did nothing and received huge minimum amounts.” However, the days of fat deals from Twitch and Co. seem to be over.
According to xQc, one could see how these streamers had stopped trying.
The shooter streamer Nick “Nickmercs” Kolcheff had such a deal that xQc was apparently envious of: with fixed payouts, regardless of performance. However, he was not happy with it either. He says Twitch kept all the money from his subscriptions:
