xQc has just saved Kai Cenat from a massive instaban on Twitch, and fans love it. 

It is no secret that Twitch is one of the biggest streaming platforms in the world. The Amazon-owned franchise shelters thousands of streamers and content creators, giving them a platform to showcase their talent. According to Statista, Twitch ran 7.03 million streamers at the end of December 2022, a number quite hard to break. The industry recently saw the launch of Kick, an upcoming platform, but that would take years to reach a similar point.

Despite that, Twitch streamers have always complained about one thing – the rigorous terms and conditions. The platform has a strict policy for its content creators, limiting them to feature content per their rules. So, creators must think twice before showcasing any move that might result in an instaban. And while there are many examples to prove it, the DrDisrespect one comes to our mind. Well, there were speculations that Doc got banned due to streaming from a washroom which was against the rules. Now, Kai Cenat was the second big name to almost land into trouble, but xQc was right on time.

During E3 2020, DrDisrespect found himself in troubled waters after he was found streaming from a washroom. Apparently, ‘streaming from a toilet’ was banned on Twitch, giving him an instant ban on the platform. However, the reason always remained speculation as there was no news to confirm it. But, well, we all know how much Twitch can irk us, so it is too good to be true.

Apparently, the 21-year-old was walking up to the washroom, instructing his cameraman to follow him. But then, as soon as he reached the washroom, Felix tagged along to stop the camera. Plus, he even called out the DrDisrespect incident to inform Kai about what had happened back in time.
