Twitch's primary face right now, xQc is a former professional Overwatch player who had turned to full time streaming and has never looked back since.
xQc started his eSports career in Overwatch through Denial Esports, although he became more famous after joining Dalls Fuel for the Overwatch League 2017. However, he was released from the team some years later due to multiple controversies.
His exit from Dallas Fuel opened new doors for him as he became a full time Twitch streamer on Twitch. This became a turning point in his career as he established himself through regular grind.
Returning to full time streaming also helped other teams to sign him as content creators. It started with Sentinels and ended with Luminosity Gaming, although he recently left the organization.
Despite being one of the most watched streamers for 2019 as well as the following years, he has been involved in some major controversies, either due to his comments or behavior with other streamers.
xQc got featured at the content creator's list of FORBES last year. However, he was not completely happy as Forbes called him as a homophobic streamer who has also engaged in providing racial slurs.
xQc real name is Felix Lengyel. He is a Canadian Twitch streamer who has won multiple streamer awards at prestigious ceremonies.
As per CAKnowledge, the streamer has amassed a net worth of $12 million approximately in 2023. Most of his revenue comes from Twitch streaming, although he has recently started hosting a game show called Juiced.
