xQc Tier List Drama: Everything You Need to Know

Earlier this week, xQc, the Twitch star caused a buzz in the streaming community with his tier list. xQc, also known as Felix Lengyel, in the latest stream decided to rank his fellow streamers. As one can guess, this did not go down well with Lengyel's fellow streamers, especially HasanAbi.

During his stream, xQc placed HasanAbi in the B tier. While doing so, he said, “he doesn’t play a lot of games, so it cuts his versatility a little bit.” He further added that he liked Hasan a lot, clarifying that it was just his apparent lack of versatility. xQc then went on to place himself at the top of the list alongside a few other creators.

HasanAbi responded to the tier list

As one can imagine, Hasan Piker was not at all pleased. The creator took to his alt Twitter account and posted, “xQc probably ranked me a B list streamer because I won't f**k have him on when a trending political thing is happening where he has to act like he cares to farm the last ounce of the Twitch directory before he goes back to promoting crypto gambling to teens for multiple millions.”

Piker probably expected backlash and drama, so the streamer made turned his account private. However, the streamer continued to rant on his private Discord. He even remarked that xQc “wasn't a respectable man.”

As many might have noticed, Piker took a dig at xQc with the “crypto gambling” remark. For those who don't know, xQc has been recently drawing criticism for gambling content. A few weeks ago, Lengyel returned to sponsored gambling streams and played slots.

xQc immediately received backlash from his fellow content creators and fans. Pokimane, Asmongold, Ludwig, Mizkif, and HasanAbi voiced their disapproval over this issue. This is why Piker believes that his tier B ranking was due to personal reasons rather than a lack of alleged versatility.

xQc hits right back at HasanAbi

Obviously, xQc wasn't about to sit around quietly and take all the heat. After Hasan's comments, xQc posted yet another video on YouTube titled, “I made Hasan MALD with my Tier List”. Right at the start, xQc tells his viewers, “I told you yesterday it would end up in disaster.”

Lengyel decided to address Piker's criticism on his stream. The streamer read out HasanAbi's angry texts from Discord and commented, “I feel this is simply projection,” he said. “I think it's simply his point of view and why he does things, labeling folks out for generating content and calling it ‘farming.'”

He further added, “We believe it's quite stupid to make broad assumptions about someone's friend groups, who they spend time with, and why they hang out with them. Devalidating someone's whole social group, based on what they have or whatever, results in the creation of borders and the development of a mistaken vision about social groups.” “I'm just going to say that's as lame as f**k.”
