When Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel came back on his daily livestream, he happened to come across a tweet where Pokimane was taking a dig at Corinna Kopf. Reating to her statement, Felix stated that he is not trying to pick up a fight but there is something that feels odd about the female Twitch streamer.

“I was also surprised seeing her during her free time watching gamba from one of her close friends. She went so hard at the big two gamblers or whatever, while still actively watching a close friend do it and never mention her name in any conversation in any conversation about gambling ever?”

xQc then mentioned that he likes Pokimane as a friend and has nothing against her but at the same time he also believed that her going against the gamblers while talking nothing about her friend was a genuine problem.

Furthermore, the Overwatch pro made a serious accusation on her claiming that she is probably using the controversy for clout chasing, agreeing with a viewer who had asked xQc on this matter. He also stated his reason for this statement, explaining that no one was against gambling all these days.

“Mostly yeah, because I guarantee you, there’s not a singular person who is actually against gamba who have a massive impact and reach on Twitch who have contacts.”

xQc was one of the few streamers like Trainwreckstv who believed that the controversy had nothing to do with gambling as he wondered about Twitch’s decision to allow sports betting and fantasy sport, the category which ItsSliker was addicted to.
