xQc
Occupation: StreamerFélix Lengyel, better known by his online alias xQc, is a prominent Canadian streamer, content creator, and former professional Overwatch player born on November 12, 1995, in Laval, Quebec. Of Hungarian descent, he dropped out of CEGEP business administration studies at age 19 to pursue gaming and streaming full-time, initially focusing on titles like League of Legends before gaining fame in Overwatch.
His esports career launched in 2016 with teams such as Denial Esports and Arc 6, where he played as a tank. Lengyel represented Team Canada at the Overwatch World Cup from 2017 to 2019, earning MVP honors in 2017. That same year, he joined the Dallas Fuel in the inaugural Overwatch League season, but his tenure was marred by multiple suspensions for misconduct—including game throwing, homophobic remarks, and a racially insensitive emote—leading to his mid-season release in 2018. He briefly competed in Overwatch Contenders with teams like GOATS and Gladiators Legion before retiring from professional play to focus on content creation.
Since starting on Twitch in 2014, xQc has built a massive following through high-energy streams featuring variety gaming, reactions, and offbeat challenges. He signed with organizations like Sentinels in 2019 and Luminosity Gaming in 2020 as a creator affiliate. Despite frequent controversies and bans—such as for streaming explicit content, offensive language, and stream sniping—he shattered viewership records, becoming Twitch's most-watched streamer from 2020 to 2022 with peaks like 312,000 concurrent viewers during an Overwatch 2 beta. In June 2023, he inked a landmark two-year, $100 million non-exclusive deal with Kick while maintaining his Twitch presence (over 12 million followers) and YouTube channel (2.45 million subscribers, nearly 2 billion views). As of 2023, he ranked fourth in total hours watched on Twitch, and in October 2024, Forbes placed him 28th on its Top Creators list. He was honored as Streamer of the Decade at the 2025 Esports Awards.
xQc's personal life has included high-profile relationships, such as with fellow streamer Samantha "adeptthebest" Lopez from 2017 to 2022, and incidents like swatting that prompted a temporary relocation. He continues to engage fans across platforms, runs an online merchandise store at xqc.store, and remains one of the most influential figures in live streaming.

xQc
Occupation: StreamerFélix Lengyel, better known by his online alias xQc, is a prominent Canadian streamer, content creator, and former professional Overwatch player born on November 12, 1995, in Laval, Quebec. Of Hungarian descent, he dropped out of CEGEP business administration studies at age 19 to pursue gaming and streaming full-time, initially focusing on titles like League of Legends before gaining fame in Overwatch.
His esports career launched in 2016 with teams such as Denial Esports and Arc 6, where he played as a tank. Lengyel represented Team Canada at the Overwatch World Cup from 2017 to 2019, earning MVP honors in 2017. That same year, he joined the Dallas Fuel in the inaugural Overwatch League season, but his tenure was marred by multiple suspensions for misconduct—including game throwing, homophobic remarks, and a racially insensitive emote—leading to his mid-season release in 2018. He briefly competed in Overwatch Contenders with teams like GOATS and Gladiators Legion before retiring from professional play to focus on content creation.
Since starting on Twitch in 2014, xQc has built a massive following through high-energy streams featuring variety gaming, reactions, and offbeat challenges. He signed with organizations like Sentinels in 2019 and Luminosity Gaming in 2020 as a creator affiliate. Despite frequent controversies and bans—such as for streaming explicit content, offensive language, and stream sniping—he shattered viewership records, becoming Twitch's most-watched streamer from 2020 to 2022 with peaks like 312,000 concurrent viewers during an Overwatch 2 beta. In June 2023, he inked a landmark two-year, $100 million non-exclusive deal with Kick while maintaining his Twitch presence (over 12 million followers) and YouTube channel (2.45 million subscribers, nearly 2 billion views). As of 2023, he ranked fourth in total hours watched on Twitch, and in October 2024, Forbes placed him 28th on its Top Creators list. He was honored as Streamer of the Decade at the 2025 Esports Awards.
xQc's personal life has included high-profile relationships, such as with fellow streamer Samantha "adeptthebest" Lopez from 2017 to 2022, and incidents like swatting that prompted a temporary relocation. He continues to engage fans across platforms, runs an online merchandise store at xqc.store, and remains one of the most influential figures in live streaming.

xQc
Occupation: StreamerFélix Lengyel, better known by his online alias xQc, is a prominent Canadian streamer, content creator, and former professional Overwatch player born on November 12, 1995, in Laval, Quebec. Of Hungarian descent, he dropped out of CEGEP business administration studies at age 19 to pursue gaming and streaming full-time, initially focusing on titles like League of Legends before gaining fame in Overwatch.
His esports career launched in 2016 with teams such as Denial Esports and Arc 6, where he played as a tank. Lengyel represented Team Canada at the Overwatch World Cup from 2017 to 2019, earning MVP honors in 2017. That same year, he joined the Dallas Fuel in the inaugural Overwatch League season, but his tenure was marred by multiple suspensions for misconduct—including game throwing, homophobic remarks, and a racially insensitive emote—leading to his mid-season release in 2018. He briefly competed in Overwatch Contenders with teams like GOATS and Gladiators Legion before retiring from professional play to focus on content creation.
Since starting on Twitch in 2014, xQc has built a massive following through high-energy streams featuring variety gaming, reactions, and offbeat challenges. He signed with organizations like Sentinels in 2019 and Luminosity Gaming in 2020 as a creator affiliate. Despite frequent controversies and bans—such as for streaming explicit content, offensive language, and stream sniping—he shattered viewership records, becoming Twitch's most-watched streamer from 2020 to 2022 with peaks like 312,000 concurrent viewers during an Overwatch 2 beta. In June 2023, he inked a landmark two-year, $100 million non-exclusive deal with Kick while maintaining his Twitch presence (over 12 million followers) and YouTube channel (2.45 million subscribers, nearly 2 billion views). As of 2023, he ranked fourth in total hours watched on Twitch, and in October 2024, Forbes placed him 28th on its Top Creators list. He was honored as Streamer of the Decade at the 2025 Esports Awards.
xQc's personal life has included high-profile relationships, such as with fellow streamer Samantha "adeptthebest" Lopez from 2017 to 2022, and incidents like swatting that prompted a temporary relocation. He continues to engage fans across platforms, runs an online merchandise store at xqc.store, and remains one of the most influential figures in live streaming.
