xQc suspended from Overwatch ahead of his World Cup appearance

August 13, 2018 Overwatch pro player and streamer xQc has been suspended from the game for abusive chat.

Former Overwatch League player Félix “xQc” Lengyel has now been suspended from the game itself for “abusive language.” His 15-day suspension could mean that Lengyel won’t make the Overwatch World Cup, where he’s scheduled to play for team Canada next month, though the team’s coach is confident that won’t be the case. Lengyel racked up multiple behaviour infractions in Overwatch League earlier this year, leading to a series of fines and suspensions and his eventual dismissal from the Dallas Fuel. He became a full-time streamer afterward, and it doesn’t seem that this suspension has hurt his schedule any, since his Twitch channel is currently live with Overwatch play. He found out about the ban live and showed the report email to the stream, as captured by Rock, Paper, Shotgun. “Abusive Chat” is listed as the violation, and the suspension reads “Your fellow players reported you for abusive language multiple times.” At the time, Lengyel wondered aloud if that would prevent him from playing in the Overwatch World Cup for team Canada. The team’s first game is set for September 7, some time after the suspension lifts. “I'm going to assume that xQc's ban is temporary and account-based,” team Canada’s coach says on Twitter, “and will not affect his chances of playing for team Canada. At the very least, there will not be any internal changes or roster adjustments at this time.”
