Twitch streamer xQc condemned a co-streamer for making him look like a ‘psychotic idiot’ amid ridicule for accusing Rust opponents of ‘stream sniping’.
xQc has been in the firing line since OfflineTV Rust took over Twitch. Rust, a multiplayer survival game released in 2013, experienced a mini-renaissance at the beginning of the year, with some of Twitch’s biggest streamers joining the OfflineTV server to fight it.
But gathering so many personalities under one roof would probably cause controversy, and the server has since been flooded with drama. In the middle is Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel, who was under fire for accusing opponents of ‘stream sniping’, and some fans flooded other channels to abuse streamers.
However, a new controversy has arisen. After xQc’s faction “Team Rocket” died in the middle of the sea after a failed landing on a ship, they returned to discover that all their supplies were missing. It appears that EdisonParks used outside information to detect the drops, and xQc was not happy.
Rust has been the center of Twitch drama since the turn of the year.
xQc accuses EdisonPark of ‘stream sniping’
The controversy only started when xQc Parks’ location in Myth’s stream was noticed. He was outside where the xQc team died, which would require outside information.
“It’s shameless, man,” xQc said.
Edisonparks explained that he was logged off the server and watching the stream of Ash_on_lol, and saw two pieces of information about the xQc team freeze to death and over a helicopter. With this information, he suspects they are dead in the middle of the ocean, and he follows a convoy path until he finds the bodies.
oil drilling is too far from our base, so I think it’s worth it to at least see where convoy has been recently.
so I sign up, hop on a boat and follow the convoy’s sailing path from our base and I run into a corpse. a few circles around and I find a few more (3/6)– Edison Park (@edisonparklive) 2 January 2021
Park apologizes for misusing information to which he did not have access, and offered to return the items. He said: ‘I did not realize it at the time, but the reason Myth made a comment about their heli was because he watched a clip of them crash with their heli.
‘If it were not for this, I could not have known that a heli was even involved. Looking back, because I responded to information I technically should not have had, I think it’s just fair that I give back what I found on the corpses. ”
However, XQc was not happy. He said: “I make mistakes and mostly admit my own mistakes even when it hurts. You guys are really doing shit and playing the denial card every time and making me look like the psychotic idiot. ‘
I make mistakes and mostly admit my own mistakes, even when it hurts. You guys are really doing shit and playing the denial card every time and making me look like the psychotic idiot. The radius you had to look for was 8 blocks, you found it before we returned. cmon

Shroud criticizes ‘juicy’ xQc
xQc has taken a fair amount of sticks from other streamers over the past few days for accusing opponents of ‘stream sniping’. Michael ‘Shroud’ Grzesiek said xQc was playing a ‘dangerous game’ with these accusations.
“XQc really needs to keep that stuff to himself,” he said. ‘It’s not cool to call people for streamlining unless you know they do. He’s playing a dangerous game. ”
The Canadian also had to apologize after some of his fans sent death threats to other streamers when xQc complained on the air about it.
Shroud defends xQc as a “respectful” person, but condemns some of his current antics.
“I’ve played with him a few times, upstream and downstream, and he’s always super respectful,” he said.
‘But I wish he had a little more respect for others. I know it’s for content, but sometimes it’s a little common. He was hella chopped up when he was alive. ‘
With all the drama caused by PvP taking over the current server, OfflineTV announced that they will release a new, role-playing server with a smaller number of streamers allowed.
Whether xQc will be one of these streamers is up in the air, but that seems unlikely. It only falls on January 7, so you can expect the antics on the current server to continue for a while.
