Fans react to streamers getting lucky with skins

While most of the comments were logical, the top-rated comment on DrDisrespect’s post was a screenshot from his clip where he just randomly spits on stream.

One fan in disbelief shares their mind and says, that everyone who said that they got a covert skin, is lying and using recorded footage. The fan seems to be disappointed as they did not receive an expensive skin in the game as the streamers did.

When it came to xQc’s fans, the disbelief was real. One fan shared their opinion and stated that Valve tagged the streamer’s Steam account to get more luck as thousands of people are watching them.

A simple comment where the user air-quoted the word “Luck” spoke volumes.
