The streamer started off by saying that he “doesn’t know how he feels about this” before later saying, during one of his live twitch streams, that “it’s the same game”, showing just how unimpressed he was over what he saw.

“I think I got my channel live-DMCA’d,” he wrote on his official twitter page. “I took necessary precautions and thought it would be fine. Really didn’t expect it but I could’ve easily avoided this. Sorry for everyone involved including the viewers. I’ll be better/smarter next time and follow guidelines more strictly.”

It’s not the first time he has been suspended, and now he vows to be more careful moving forward.

“Everything is in disarray,” xQc said from his official Twitter page. “I can go live, but I don’t want to stream until I can make “good” streams again. [I’m going to] need a little more time. Unpredictables keep stacking up. Sorry!”

While a few days may not seem like much, its a long time for a consistent creator with a following like his.

Pokimane heard the comments and has responded.

“That’s not what I thought was gonna happen!” Pokimane said (h/t Dexerto). “I thought it was gonna be a tier three [subscription] joke.

“I will say I’m flattered, honestly, that’s very nice, thanks. There are so many hot people on this site and they even said it doesn’t have to be a girl, so yeah thanks.”

”The reason I’m so flushed is because I have a big crush on his roommate [and girlfriend] Adept,” she explained.

According to Dot Esports, Forsen had an almost perfect run finishing the game in 27 minutes and 42 seconds, which far exceeds the previous record.

xQc remarked that Forsen died during the run, and that the new record would not stand in the deathless run category.

Both have done an incredible job in smashing prior world records.

According to StreamElements and Arsenal.gg, twitch streamer Gaules has officially clocked the top spot as the most watched streamer for the third time this year, tying him with xQc as we close in on the end of December, and 2020 as a whole.

Per the report: “Four times this year xQcOW has worn the crown as the top streamer of the month, while Gaules has just locked in his third time at the top. This just leaves December to tie things up.”

During a recent stream, viewers in xQc’s chat were claiming that women streamers have an easier time in finding success and popularity on Twitch, especially if that streamer is attractive.

“Successful girls in streaming are literally the very, very, very, minority,” xQc said, according to Dexerto. “That’s just how it is.”

“There isn’t a lot of… crazy successful streamer girls because it’s a male-dominant sector,” xQc stated. “So whenever there’s one or two that arrive, why do people always immediately assume… they only made it because they’re hot?”

“There’s like 2000 successful guys, and when there’s one girl that succeeds, you feel threatened enough to discredit their success,” xQc said. “B**ch, there’s only one. There’s only one per two thousand. Why do you feel so threatened?”

The incident took place during a Twitch Rivals tournament during GlitchCon, which was initially reported over the past weekend by Dot Esports.

xQc’s team was able to stream-snipe their way to a victory over the team of DrLupo, Shroud, and Tyler1, which eliminated them from the tournament. You can check out a clip from the TOS violation right here, courtesy of Shroud.

Twitch Rivals issued the following, according to PC Gamer:  “/xQcOW’s actions during the tiebreaker of the Fall Guys Match on November 14, 2020 violated the Official Tournament Code of Conduct and Game Play Rules found in Section 7 of the Official Tournament Rules,” Twitch Rivals ruled. “As a result and effective immediately, /xQcOW will (I) receive a six-month ban from Twitch Rivals and (ii) will forfeit prize winnings from the GlitchCon event.

At GlitchCon our player conduct rules were violated. We require all participants to abide by the same rules in order to play in a tournament. As a result, xQc has been issued a temporary Twitch account suspension, a temporary Twitch Rivals ban & forfeited associated prize money. pic.twitter.com/SA8umOdS9E

xQc has played The Killers’ ‘Enterlude and Exitlude’ at the end of his streams, but he says he is looking to get in touch with the band about their song, willing to pay in order to use it.

“Also I have to tweet at The Killers about their song, if I can listen to it for outro [music],” xQc said (h/t Dexerto). “Otherwise I’ll buy the license or whatever. Chat how much do you think it is for me to buy the license for me to listen to the song for outro. $25k? Well, I’ll buy it regardless because I think it’s part of the stream identity and whatever the price is, I don’t wanna lose that.”

xQc established a name by playing Overwatch professionally, for teams such as Denial and the Dallas Fuel, but has since dedicated the majority of his time on content creation, and has become one of the most popular twitch streamers on the platform.

Another game making it’s own impression on Twitch was Among Us, which has crept up 650 percent in hours watched from last month, placing them 11th in the most popular categories on the platform, and things seem to indicate that those numbers will climb over the next month.

“These easy-to-learn and fun-to-watch games let creators play with their fans, which is a great way to engage an audience,” said StreamElements CEO Doron Nir, according to Forbes. “It’s the influencers and not the games that have been driving the success of these titles, as illustrated by 2018’s Among Us skyrocketing up the charts simply because some top streamers decided to play an older game. While this movement will most likely lead to new party games, it’s a great opportunity for brands to look at their catalogs to see if an older game might fit in with the current trend and be worth reinvesting in.”

While those popular titles are growing, so is Twitch, which posted its first month-over-month rise during the month of August since April of this year, with 1.47 billion hours watched, topping the 1.42 billion mark reached back in April, and has Twitch seeing an impressive 57% growth year-over-year.

Games continue to dominate, but other categories such as cooking shows are seeing a bump in their popularity as well, as Twitch’s Food & Drink category is up 96% year-over-year.

Numbers show that Félix “xQc” Lengyel is the most popular streamer on Twitch, joined by  Alexandre “gAuLeS” Borba, Nick “NickMercs” Kolcheff, and Timothy “TimTheTatman” Betar at the top of those charts.

The hackers took over his Twitter account and proceeded to post messages on his Twitter page such as “f%$k you xqc we own u bro”, and also used his page to promote other pages.

xQc discussed it as it happened during his live stream, saying that he couldn’t reset his Twitter password because the hackers locked it by attempting multiple times.

xQc then asked his viewers to help by reporting the hacked account, and received an update from Twitter several minutes later saying that they were looking into the situation.

Ultimately, xQc was able to regain access to his Twitter account, but it goes to show the lengths that hackers can go to to infiltrate social media accounts, and even the most popular accounts can be subjected to their attacks as well.

With a big brand on Twitch, and known for his high-level gameplay and engaging twitch streams, xQc is a major “get” for Luminosity, who have recently signed RickyNoHands, Fortnite streamer Muselk, and others such as Sommerset, Keys, Slacks, Jamper, and Eclipsae.

While it’s not clear if xQc will be playing competitive for Luminosity, it helps improve their branding, and may be a tip that they are looking to venture deeper into the streaming sector.

Thanks to popular Twitch streamers such as Tfue and xQc, Hyper Scape reached over 450,000 viewers during their first hour streaming on Twitch, according to DOT Esports.

Ubisoft was also smart in how they went about promoting the stream, making it so that viewers who watch someone play Hyper Scape on the platform have a chance to earn access to the game’s test.

It’s worth noting that Tfue and xQc both stated that they were not paid to play, or stream the game.
