Discussion xQc just banned from comp

He's streaming now and got banned mid round.

Edit: He abused the reporting system for "restricting others in their gameplay." he does randomly report people as a meme, so it looks like they did it to make their reporting system seem more legit from now on.

Edit (my thoughts): Sucks that he got used as the scapegoat, but on a positive note maybe this shows that they will take reporting more seriously from now on. I honestly doubt it, since they're clearly going after big names to set an example, while probably not actually fixing problems.

It's unfortunate - but he's a popular streamer that's now professional player in OWL on a storied team... He should conduct himself according moving forward.

I agree with that, I really admire his passion but his attitude and behavior can put me off sometimes.

Same. Just gotta realize the limits that come with it being a job and a "role model" to fans I suppose.
