xQc Facts
- xQc’s parents got divorced when he was just about a year old. He and his brother, Nicholas, were then raised in shared custody.
- As a child, he was passionate about adventure sports such as skateboarding, snowboarding, and trampolining. He would also play a lot of video games and used to post some of his tricks to YouTube.
- When he had first started streaming on Twitch, after dropping out of college, he used to primarily play the multiplayer online battle arena video game League of Legends under the screen name xQcLoL. He had later discovered the video game Overwatch and had started focusing on that under the screen name xQcOW.
- His screen name, xQc, was created using a combination of the last letter of his first name (Félix) and the abbreviation of his home province, Québec (QC).
- The first team that he had played Overwatch competitively for was named DatZit Gaming, a semi-pro esports organization based in Montreal. In August 2016, he and his team won the ‘Dreamhack Montreal Overwatch‘ tournament.
- At the 2017 Overwatch World Cup, he had helped Team Canada reach the final of the tournament where they eventually lost to South Korea. For his performances, he was named the event’s ‘MVP’ (Most Valuable Player).
- In October 2019, he had achieved the feat of being the ‘Most Viewed Twitch Streamer’.
- In February 2020, he had been banned from Twitch for 3 days for showing n*dity in an adult-themed game. An AI (artificial intelligence) controlled character in the game had taken her clothes off after xQc had won a game against her.
- In December 2020, while LIVE streaming, he accidentally showed his computer desktop screen where fans found a folder named ‘Cheats’. He later clarified those cheats were of Pokemon. (Using cheats is against Twitch’s community guidelines and might get a user banned from the game as well.)
- On December 29, 2020, xQc was locked out of his own Twitter account due to a DMCA strike for his own 10-second long clip from a year ago.
- In January 2021, it was revealed that he was the most-watched Twitch streamer in 2020 with a total of 149 million hours.
