Felix «xQc» Lengyel, the former Overwatch pro, a first-person shooting video game, has been suspended from the Twitch platform after he was caught cheating during a Fall Guys tournament, a massive cross-platform game.
The event occurred last weekend during the broadcast of Twitch Rivals, a series of games promoted by Twitch where he was developing a match against fellow streamers Benjamin «DrLupo» Lupo and Michael «Shroud» Grzesiek.
It was at this event that xQc incurred a foul against the terms of both Twitch Rivals and the Twitch platform itself by participating in the cutout of sequences, that is, visualising the sequences of competitors in an attempt to gain advantage fraudulently.
As this abuse of the rules by xQc is evidenced, Twitch made the decision to veto it from the Twitch Rival contests over the course of the next 6 months, which will also cause it to lose its prize money. Added to this, there is a temporary suspension on xQc which is not known how long it will last.
Already the stremaer Shroud had pointed out the dishonest actions of xQc which he speculated could have severe consequences for this former Overwatch professional, which materialized on this occasion.
This would represent the fourth time that Twitch exercises a suspension measure against xQc, who had previously been vetoed for exposing sexually connoted material during a broadcast.
For his part, xQc accepted the fault and added that his intention had been simply to laugh.
