performing like this he could be a top three top four tank in the league [Music] he's a product of the Internet age a kid who became famous online we won't do any small dress and then all at once he was thrust into a professional world a clean-cut franchise professional league where he had to be on his best behavior lock away his toxic side and put on a show for the fans but that just wasn't meant to be shut your [ __ ] mouth go back there second time Kaka I mean you might but this is the story of xqc we're looking for the top players in the world and the team owners who will form the overwatch league a brand-new game and a fully franchised geo-located league a league that had the power to create superstars overnight the overwatch league changed the game we are working towards launching the overwatch league as the pinnacle of overwatch esports one that all aspiring players and audiences can celebrate strive towards and call their own when the overwatch league was first announced it instantly made waves across competitive gaming those with the first person shooter background flocked to the game for a shot at a pro contract everyone wanted in on the ground floor one of those being Felix xqc long gel no chatter oh excuse II was a tank main and was building a reputation as an incredible talent while piloting Winston one of the game's premier space makers he was aggressive yet controlled in game something he wasn't outside of it like many other up-and-coming players xqc paired his competitive aspirations with a rapidly growing as a broadcaster he was completely uncaged the living embodiment of the Internet a master of memes games chugging cokes rage quitting and of course that trademark flame for xqc his journey began with a team called dat's it which won a small Dreamhack Montreal event and then q question mark which was later acquired by denial eSports hey guys my name is xqc I'm the current tank for Team Canal and I play a lot of competitive games so you might know me from silky as well it was with arc six that they qualified for season zero of the overwatch League contenders a proving ground for players who hope to reach the big leagues in addition to contenders many of the game's most influential eyes were on the overwatch World Cup in 2017 it's one of the biggest cities in the world there's gonna be a lot of eyes on you opportunity this became an even more pronounced proving ground for the first season of the overwatch League and xqc was the main tank for Team Canada and execute see my just getting this done himself there's nothing I can do it can't get to the payload it's being pushed away and that is gonna be that second checkpoint I up here for Canada all that whole pursuit oh it's a beautiful Center for xqc to get the air traffic the damage wasn't quite there look at all the kills he managed to get just with the use of that ultimate here Australia rolled together one big juicy package breakfast not traditionally known as an eSports powerhouse Canada impressed at the event and showed some great synergy and teamwork that helped them overcome some of the world's finest it's chemistry this whatsoever or is it time it is but where our Australia are desperately it's a valiant attempt to keep this game and I was not gonna be enough Australia you're Crocodile Dundee this is why Canada act here this is why they're one of the best teams has an all-star roster in the World Cup because it's a new patch it's a new matter for so many people but these guys pulled this socks up and adjusted mid series to bring the reverse swing that's true grit the hallmark of a champion still is out of the picture in fact they made it all the way to the finals where they eventually were dispatched by a star-studded South Korean team filled with many of the overwatch league's future stars and xqc was voted by the fans as the tournament's MVP thank you so much one who voted thank you so much congratulations once again guys give it up for XGC give it up for South Korea [Applause] when the World Cup came to a close and it was time for the league's franchises to start signing players for their inaugural rosters XQ sees name was prominent among prospective main tanks [Music] and on October 28th 2017 the Dallas Fuel announced xqc as the ninth member of their overwatch league season one roster xqc is a spaz who can somehow keep this life together but he absolutely dominates his Winston in game one of the best Winston's in the game like that's not what a lot of people would say from a guy not being playing professionally for a long time it's like he's very very driven to improve and I really admire that about him when he actually gets confident in himself and he's team I think he's gonna do great things he will stream all day we'll play all day he doesn't care all he wants to do is play and get good heading into the league they were advertised as one of the best especially when you looked at the roster they managed to put together with the likes of xqc on the tank line the talent of players like tae Moo and Mickey and the versatility of Siegel they look to be one of the premier teams to beat they have been the strongest Western team throughout the whole of 2017 and 2016 this is a team with pedigree and so much talent on the roster but they stumbled out of the gates down to zero whirring - Oh team can Mickey get this ultimate up in time yes he's going to get that self destruct a pulse bomb itself to start to use Mickey should get the mech back again there is ot and so our last map will end in a draw which means that Sol dynasty as we said earlier has taken this series this is just spinning out of trol now for Dallas time ticking away and that is it La Valle will take them Bonnie and they will take the series three and OH three wins in a tie will be the result of this match between Devon Dallas mule and the overwatch League Houston outlaws or oh the Dallas mule that's sweet and after the third match against the Houston outlaws xqc made matters worse for the organization when he directed a homophobic slur at Austin Mumma Wilmont an openly gay player in the wise words of a good friend of mine rolled and smoked my doggies no no he didn't smoke shut your [ __ ] mouth go back there second fan caucus I mean you like but too many overwatch League fans this was their first exposure to excuse his toxic side but it certainly wasn't his first time getting into trouble even prior to joining Dallas he had his account suspended by Blizzard for abusing their in-game reporting system on stream he was using it to spam report the accounts of teammates that refused to switch off characters he thought weren't good enough for competitive play I was genuinely [ __ ] up the game and I get banned and 24 hours that's not okay and while his online fame was just starting to grow xqc style of digital absurdity offered ample opportunity for him to cross the line of what was acceptable he fed off the energy of his viewers and fans and humored them when they urged him to tow that line the fuel took matters into their own hands after the league's announcement as well extending his band from just four games to the entire rest of the stage to reinforce their stance on his actions super sorry two people that I vote down people that support me that see me differently now two members of the LGBT community I'm so sorry Mumbai myself even though I talked him directly the outlaws as a whole my team the fuel organization and watch League entirely this could have been a huge deal a huge disaster to the health of the hood entirely tonight I am er send them home and I'm sorry and when he returned from his band he clearly had something to prove on stage push for the gladiators what a combo from Dallas we'll see what happens Thank You c-come in he goes to the charge he says forget the air shadow but no hairy hood gets Fisher anyway they're not even gonna get the Rhinehart ultimate out Costa going in now with the coalescence they use the sound barrier from Harry oak as well hydration back in there's a graviton surge there's xqc with the double kill the time is building one more time the last attack for Dallas fuel it looks like it may have done it her shad are coming in the future can't capitalize Dallas fuel will win case row I'm super happy to be back after being like a month off and in my room I'm super glad pogcham in the chat and thanks for everyone who supported us and thus began the quintessential story of xqc the constant back and forth between his offstage antics and is increasingly strong on stage performance what I love about this as well is that he comes back in and deals so much damage afterwards we're into this gravitas ship generates almost another one and then ports that Deadeye that was coming out from sure for the fantastic wake of another provinces he returned to stage two with a vengeance bolting himself into the conversation among the leads best maintains think that if he carries on performing like this he could be a top three top four tank in the league the guy's got skills I know that would make a lot of fans happy home you guys wanna see more xqc but the whispers of XQ sees Redemption art were silenced just as quickly as they started on March 9th 2018 xqc was suspended by blizzard for the second time in as many stages this time for using the try harder mote in a racially disparaging way towards one of the overwatch league's casters I didn't I didn't tap in to know much League and look them who's on screen or whatever I understand it could look like a but I posted so very often I posted all the time it's literally just how I greet people then I was just like dude Watson the Dallas fuel took action and this time there was no shot at redemption NASA announced release of a few leaks axial voice not even two full stages into his overwatch career xqc one of the league's most talented tank players and popular personalities was removed from the fuel entirely just as quickly as his rise to fame happened his career looked to be all but over so for me like the illogic as a whole was pretty bittersweet to say the least when I got I was really [ __ ] happy right and I was like pogchamp and they're almost happy for me dude and it was uh it was nice but I just felt all undeserving anyway at least for the time being his time on the overwatch league stage was over I decided it was because I saw the two were elites since you will be going home with annex released Agnes's it was stay safe on the streets my man this is it huge dramatic music voice xqc immediately focused all of his attention to his stream there watch this come on Joe victim as a broadcaster that now outcasts xqc instantly flourished during his first three months as a professional streamer after being kicked off the fuel his channel spiked up to almost 10,000 viewers concurrently and they were there for exactly the same person that the overwatch League had banned you see even as a pro xqc never logged off he famously which is chained his Dallas fuel practices into paint 9 or 10 our streams papa he is a gamer incarnate strung out on red cans of coke in stick you at ill ting match and bringing his viewers along for the rage induced wide especially better enough he was streaming overwatch primarily his ascent to the top 500 on ladder mixed with the odd tracer game so he could show off his GPS pocket but despite his high level of play this wasn't a competitive stream it was meant to be entertainment games and memes and screaming at the top of your lungs and smashing your keyboards and talking trash all compartmentalized into one twitch URL packaged up nicely and the volume cranked to a hundred and now freed from the shackles of professional obligations he let it all loose for thousands to see whether you loved him or you hated him thought he was a talented tank player or a toxic gamer he was still growing later in 2018 he was signed to an overwatch contenders team called goats where he could continue to scratch his competitive itch in the wake of his departure from Dallas xqc was still invited to participate in the 2018 overwatch World Cup to feel you know the people in the crowd the energy the like a bit of aspect it's a lot of fun so [Applause] I am looking for the ground doesn't one get eaten drop the ground take that to Vince they eat a bit more the wood xqc range to your heart's content as Canada makes the space they need what is the but even though he knew he was walking on thin ice he was unable to keep himself out of trouble the 2018 World Cup was not the Cinderella story Canada and xqc had hoped for but China they seemed to be right he will they need to be tried to cook the points of the stuff [Applause] China would be in a gold medal match in 2019 XQ sees a streamer and broadcaster first I think xqc is probably gonna be one of your next big boys I think he's awesome I think he's gonna do great and I think he's really doing a good job with picking the great games to play his concurrent viewership numbers have jumped to more than 15,000 at a time most months and his popularity online has surpassed the barriers of the eSports community and started to blend in with some of the most popular online personalities he's a fixture with in the uber popular subreddit our live stream fails and he started to broaden the scope of both his content and his social circle excuses body looks like that alien and in men in black you don't talk about I find it excuse me he's now often interacting with many of the other top general interest streamers in sodapoppin and Greek god X are we gonna at least live near each other so we can hang out with done shooting and then we'll get a stream because we're bored well despite the game still being a fixture on his channel you'd be hard-pressed to still call xqc an overwatch streamer quite frankly it's difficult to call him any one thing because his channel truly is a living breathing entity he'll do play or watch whatever's funny whatever is dramatic or whatever people are talking about online he's a variety streamer top 500 overwatch player and online tastemaker he's chasing one thing and the only thing what he calls the juice there's no clear definition of what the juice is if the juice is whatever you make it it can be anything nobody can define what it is for you you know what the juice is right for me like sometimes I think the juices when I win a pop-up right I go oh money bag whoo Maldon oh that's my juice Oh [Music] juxtaposed within his gaming content is what has come to be some of the most popular content on his channel him just sitting in front of a camera and reacting to things don't a game don't I gain we go game chat guys I think it's time to go again he's added what he calls the reddit recap every week where he and his fanbase Traverse Reddit and watch and react to all of the most popular clips and highlights in the online world Clint falls it for the bait [Music] did really did honestly who would fall for this I entered in something this is in addition to medium Monday we're in what might be the most terrifying content creation act of all time he allows his chat to decide absolutely everything on screen for the entire stream you'll do anything he'll IRL stream play a hand simulator watch YouTube just chat or literally sleep for nine hours it's the ultimate chat experience somehow someway there's a streamer who will more or less do whatever they ask of him at any time can you like it I'll bow okay why would you mean like my elbow but at what cost and that is truly the question when it comes to xqc on one hand we have this revolutionary personality the kind of rambunctious energy that's infectious enough to have an entire subreddit Dischord channel and community built around him simply acting crazy online [Music] [Applause] Jesus tell me and on the other hand you have someone who is been harmful to a portion of the gaming site Geist someone who's unafraid to cross lines uses slurs like their commonplace and unabashedly attacks teammates and competitors the GM dude [ __ ] of the game [ __ ] off avoid a piece of [ __ ] he's a living breathing enigma a symbol of the rampant unstoppable growth that is personality based online content creation while simultaneously attacking his own growth by reinforcing the dark cloud of bigotry that hangs over gaming in its darkest hours recently he's moved back to LA where he signed with the LA gladiators contenders roster baby boys I just joined the gladiators and the Sentinels is this his path back to the pros he's a real redemption arc in the future his xqc good or bad for gaming a hero or villain well that's for you to decide but without question he's only going to get bigger before we find out thanks for watching if
