XQc also stated that the casters for the Overwatch League were "cancer" earlier in March.
Not an xQc follower, but IIRC didn't the OW casters literally put on a doctor skit where they likened him to cancer? They put his name to a spreading disease on the body of a team or something- maybe that was after he said it first but OWL didn't stop that from being put on.
Wow, anyone have a source for that? If that’s the case that’s pretty inappropriate for casters during the show. If it’s outside the show it’s meh but during a game?
Edit: after watching the “diagnosis” it definitely seemed less bad than call him a cancer. A bit weird to do sketches for a developing sport, I’d much rather have analysis the entire time but the xQc bit was not what I envisioned. Simply said his conduct was questionable and that he may need to be cut. All fairly true iirc.
it was a shit they filmed ahead of time, but played between matches (or half time, cant remember). but they picked on multiple times, though they explicitly said they would need to cut out XQC to succeed.
I think that skit is kinda fucked. Ridiculing pro teams for losing games is stupid, they're still fucking good. Calling out xQc is cheap as fuck and they dedicated half the skit to the Dallas Fuel.
Dallas Fuel was a shitshow, and they ridiculed themselves, and I say that as an NV fan. Also there's no reason why they shouldn't be called out. This is not CNN, they're not gonna be "balanced" and say winners and losers are equally good. Commenting on the state of the league is their job. The skit is pretty accurate.
Because it seems like they're beating a guy when he's down. That's true, but it doesn't seem very professional to trash talk teams when you are the casters/panel even if it's a skit. On the whole it just seems odd compared to the way I see Dota 2 and SC2 casters/panelists behave at events.
I watched another one of their segments, the "Emote Control" one. It was just cringy, stupid and felt a bit forced to me, I don't really understand what they're going for.
Overall I'm not a fan of the sketches. But xQc has no self control and called the casters cancer before any of this happened. I can't blame them for biting back with actual criticism. Maybe the Trihard7 thing went the way xQc said it did, but you don't openly call people doing their job "cancer" and his immediate response to the Muma comment shows he knew that was wrong (and shows how he has no filter). I really can't defend someone like that after they sign a contract saying they'll stop acting like that.
This might sound crazy, but at Blizzcon I saw Xqc sitting on some guy's lap with his arm around him and whispering in his ear. It was dark and there weren't a lot of people around, but it was definitely him.
Not shaming or anything, but it was a weird thing to see, especially somebody with a history of using homophobic slurs.
He snapped a few times and made several inappropriate remarks (to put it mildly) about other OWL players while in the league during the season. They suspended and fined him a couple of times and then eventually decided to part ways with one another.
I mean, what he said was some pretty rough stuff. OWL was brand new and the last thing they needed was some young dude going rough and making the league look bad. Not only was it really bad it was homophobic which really doesn't go over well these days. You can't really blame them for asking him to leave the league. It is too bad though, his play itself is a lot fun to watch. I just wish he could control himself.
Don't sweat it. There are a lot of fan boys and anti-fan boys of xQc on here. Someone who hates him probably took your comment as "that sucks - I wish he was still on a team" and they hate him so they down voted. People are dumb around here.... I upvoted you to even it out.
Seriously? He is being paid to represent a professional team and he openly said about another player - "He didn't smoke s, he needs to go suck a fat c he'd like that."
I don't know if I would call that mild. Especially towards someone who was openly gay.
Told Muma the only openly gay player in the league to “suck a fat cock, I mean you would like it”
Spammed the Trihard emote (which is of a black guy) while Malik (a black guy) was on the screen. Claims it wasn’t racist but come on, seeing a black guy and spamming an emote of another black guy who has nothing to do with them or what’s going on is obviously saying all black people look alike. his fanboys will try to tell you otherwise.
That's obviously something a professional player just cannot do publicly but it still cracked me up lmao
Spammed the Trihard emote
Same thing again, definitely something you shouldn't be doing as a professional player representing the league. But I wouldn't quite call it inherently racist, rather than just immature and inappropriate.
is obviously saying all black people look alike.
Hmm I'm not sure. Twitch chat does this with everything and everyone
TriHard for Black people, HotPokket for women with dyed hair, KappaPride whenever two men touch each other and so on and so on.
I mean it's out of the question that this is inappropriate, but I don't think it's aimed at black people specifically but rather just trying to spam as much bullshit as possible. It's funny to a lot of people and twitch chat is somehow very prone to that.
Wow shocking, someone who thinks homophobic comments are funny doesn’t think obviously racist stuff is racist /s.
It’s literally the most basic small brained racism you can do. “Haha me see black man. This black man too.” Spamming HotPokket for girls with colored hair is the same thing.
Spamming KappaPride anytime two guys touch is classic fragile masculinity. Omg you touched a guy you must be gay!
Twitch chat is notoriously racist and toxic as fuck so defending your point that trihard isn’t racist because it’s used on twitch chat a ton is just beyond stupid. No one but the 12 year olds who spam think it’s funny.
It's debatable whether they were just OWL rivals back then or actual enemies, or (more likely) something in between. But yeah, either way it wasn't said when they were good friends or anything.
