Last week, the streamer Felix "xQcOW" Lengyel was temporarily bootlegged from Vibrate for adulterous at a GlitchCon Vibrate Rivals event. It was the third time this year he's been suspended from Twitch, and his teammates Rabia "Nightblue3" Yazbek and Lucas "Mendo" Hakansson were bootlegged coextending him. I got in blow with Lengyel to duologue disconnectedly what happened, and what he's little-known from the experience.
According to him, the beck sniping journey -- back he and his teammates queued into a competitor's lobby with the intent to derail their gutsy -- was a bit of barrack that went too far, whereas Lengyel is conscientious to rota that he's not aggravating to justify what happened. "The temper was really like funny, banter-y -- we went to their Discord, they went to our Discord, you know, we're talking shit, whatever," he says. "And now that I've computed it, it's like, holy, this is just... this is like so stupid." Hind the event, Lengyel says he messaged the people involved to apologize. Even so, he says he didn't think anything would happen on Twitch.
Lengyel's Vibrate accomplice manager impecunious the news of his ban. He's not mad, though; competitive rulings are competitive rulings, and through his career as an esports competitor he understands why these decisions are made. "I don't want to do amiss stuff. I want to constantly be better. It's why I'm rarely agitated at competitive rulings and bans and whatnot," he says. "And I think it's sort of healthy, for people that hypothesize my podium to know for sustained that I got punished for something, they know why it happened." Lengyel's interested, he says, in modeling growth. That said, he's not after controversy. Lengyel's been temporarily bootlegged from Vibrate on multivarious occasions for streaming explicit content, and he was previously suspended from esports teams for utilizing disparaging language.
"If I can be an mimeograph of wrongdoing, I can be an mimeograph of redemption," he says. "And I think that matters, maybe even more." He likewise says you shouldn't beck snipe in games.
Lengyel says he wants his auditory to know that he's aggravating to be preferably -- to move forward. "Even whereas sometimes we take like, 10 accomplish back, as unfurled as we create a precondition of gaining accomplish forward again, and getting through it again, I think that plans a lot." (The overarching message, though, he says, is: "don't fuck with competitive integrity.")
To that end, Lengyel is starting vendible he's calling a streamer showcase: a silkiness of some pally that glossiness smaller Vibrate creators. It's an idea that grew out of his Among Us games with smaller streamers older this summer, where he started a Discord server and invited people who replied to a tweet. "It's been really crazy to see all these smaller streamers grow, like, out of the gadabout -- and all of them getting partnered and getting sponsorships." It's an example, he says, of utilizing his podium for good. He's a little light on details. Personally, though, I think it's obsessing because to me it seems like he's starting to header with the dynamics of online ingression -- with what it organ to be lauded on the internet.
And Lengyel's policy-making ally are defaultant him as well. He's partage of Pigmentation Gaming, a promising esports outfit. "Being ally is increasingly than just commendatory the good times. Felix knows he made a oddness and we're encouraged to see how sternly he is taking his return," wrote Corey Mandell, controlling carnality president of Enthusiast Gaming, Pigmentation Gaming's parent company, in an emailed statement. "We resist single-minded to acknowledging his claimed journey and info realize his contesting plans." Lengyel is set to revisitation to Vibrate on Wednesday.
