Why Was xQc Banned or Suspended?

The streamer has faced several suspensions in the course of his career. Prior to his time with Dallas Fuel, he was in the middle of major cases of controversies before main incidents in the Overwatch League which led to his account being suspended a couple of times for defying Blizzard’s Terms of Use. The initial incident happened in November 2017 when he received a suspension message mid-match in a competitive Overwatch game. The reason for his 72 hours suspension was tagged “misuse of the reporting system”. He abused the in-game reporting arrangement by leveraging on it to report fellow players unnecessarily and especially for reasons that were considered invalid. For instance, he reported one of the players for declining to turn off a hero, even after repeatedly dying.

The second incident came the next month in December 2017 when Blizzard issued a 7-day suspension to xQc when he threw a competitive game. The steamer had to render a public apology through a video.

His time with Dallas Fuel was still fraught with a lot of controversies which made him face suspension twice. The first one happened when his team was defeated by the Houston Outlaws in the first stage. He threw some homophobic comments at Austin “Muma” Wilmot of the Outlaws who is a confirmed gay. xQc’s comments were as a result of Wilmot’s use of his (xQc’s) own catchphrase against him at the end of the match in which xQc was not featured. He had to pay a fine of $2,000 as decreed by The Overwatch League, facing suspension from four succeeding matches and later lengthened to the end of stage one.

He only came back at the second phase, facing suspension and another fine, for making use of the Twitch emoticon TriHard in an “ethnically reproachful way” in Twitch chat as Malik Forté – African-American presenter made an appearance on stream, voicing disapproving words – targeted at Overwatch League casters, as well as other players on the social media platforms. He also did same on his private stream. For his offence, xQc got suspended from four matches with a fine of $4,000 to settle. An announcement came from the Dallas Fuel on the 11th of March 2018 that xQc was no longer part of their team.

On his own part, the Overwatch player disclosed in an interview that he loves to create content on Twitch even though he enjoys playing as a professional. He went further to say that if he happens to be called up to play with another professional team, he will really need to peruse it for a while.

Even at the Overwatch World Cup tournament of 2018, xQc’s account got suspended for the umpteenth time on the 11th of August 2018 for defying the Abusive Chat policy. In this case, it was his fellow teammates who reported him severally. An official caution was issued for the suspension; nevertheless, he was permitted to play.
