xQc discusses whether he will ever play Overwatch again

Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has responded to the question of whether or not he will make a return to Overwatch, following his recent criticism of the game’s “piece of shit” community. 

The Canadian pro gamer, who has been on his nation’s Overwatch World Cup team for the last two years, finishing third at the 2018 edition of the tournament. However, comments from his Thursday, November 29 Twitch stream seemed to cast some doubt over his return to the game.

Responding to a question about his situation, he said: “He [user who questioned him] doesn’t know chat. He does not know. We’re not going to be on Overwatch for a couple of days.”

This hinted that maybe xQc, who was elevated so much because of his performances on the Overwatch esports scene, might take a hiatus from the Blizzard title. 

“I don’t even know if we’re going to go back to it, to be honest. I want to go back but I’ve been having a good time, so I don’t know about it,” confirmed Lengyel. 

These comments come just a day after xQc expressed his concerns about Overwatch, where he said he was “eternally saddened” that the game’s developer Blizzard had to deal with the “piece of shit community.”

And, he’s not the only streamer to speak out about it too. Just a few weeks ago Brandon ‘Seagull’ Larned argued that nobody even talks about this game anymore.

xQc seems to keep talking about the game, though, and in no uncertain terms. Whether he will be playing it any time soon is very much unknown.
