Twitch bans Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel for cheating at Twitch Rivals

Félix “xQcOW” Lengyel — former pro Overwatch player and currently one of the top streamers on Twitch — has been temporarily banned from the site for cheating at Twitch Rivals, a site-sponsored tournament series. Lengyel was playing this summer’s breakout smash Fall Guys, when he stream-sniped an opponent live on air and sent them home early. (Stream-sniping is looking at another player’s stream and intentionally griefing them when you happen to queue into a game together.)

Lengyel also forfeit his prize money and has been banned from appearing in a Twitch Rivals event for six months.
