Twitch and Kick streaming sensation Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel says he was banned from Valorant after calling his teammate an offensive word.
xQcis no stranger to causing controversy with his trash talk and revealed that Riot Games took action against his Valorant account for comments he made about another player.
As a former Overwatch pro, xQc found himself in hot water early on in the OWL’s lifespan when he was suspended for makingremarksabout a rival’s sexuality.
Fast forward a few years later and Lengyel has become one of the biggest names in the world of streaming, having signed a lucrative$100M contract with Kick.
While Lengyel may be one of the most popular creators on the internet, he’s still not one to shy away from trash talk and on a July 17 stream, explained how his words caused some backlash in Riot’s tactical FPS Valorant.
“I got chat banned from Valorant because I said the R-word,” the French Canadian revealed. “But I got unbanned.”
According to xQc, one of the players had a lisp and started talking smack, resulting in Lengyel firing right back, taking aim at his teammate’s condition.
“I replied saying, ‘I would rather that and sound like a f**king…’ and I said the R-word,” he laughed.
