As a former Overwatch pro player, the streamer shared how he was treated unfairly following his departure.

xQc talked about unfair treatment in tournaments

The Twitch streamer recently made an unexpected revelation on his Minecraft stream. He alleged that organizers denied certain people entry into tournaments just because they were affiliated with him. This has sparked worries about the possibility of unjust treatment in gaming.

“Imagine how big a wedge it is to create between people,” xQc said. Players were denied entry to some of the tournaments just because they were associated with him on Twitter. He also talked about how his friends had to separate themselves from him to not lose on career opportunities. “It’s just cringe,” remarked the Twitch streamer on this situation. He thought that the circumstances of detachment from his friends had changed him as a person.

xQc might have been referring to his exit from eSports and the subsequent confusion when talking about this on stream.

xQc’s departure from eSports

While xQc’s exit from eSports is not fresh news, his recent disclosure has reignited fan interest. Because of his previous behavior, organizers have barred him from participating in some tournaments and events. Denying admission to anybody affiliated with him, on the other hand, is a very different matter.

When xQc was recruited into the Overwatch League (OWL), he was just 22 years old. OWL suspended him in the second week of the competition for insulting an opposite team member. Following this suspension, his team, the Dallas Fuel, decided to remove him too. This toxic behavior is common in Overwatch and most multiplayer games. xQc had earned a reputation for it, particularly on his own live broadcasts, where thousands of admirers cheered him on.

But the former OWL player believed his actions were improper. “I sort of became a representative by getting myself into something that was much more serious or big than I could understand,” xQc lamented.
