In the past few weeks, the Canadian streamer was in talks with his Twitch partnership to make some changes. So, the name change was something that many fans already expected.
Felix Lengyel into gambling
xQc recently moved back to Canada as he put out a tweet talking about the same. He has constantly been streaming and expressing his opinion on the Depp-Heard trial. His streams last over 12 hours, attracting a lot of viewers. But that’s not the point because Felix has been getting a lot of criticism lately.
The sole reason for this is his addiction to online gambling. Even though he has confessed his addiction multiple times on the stream, fans are not happy with the road he’s taking. They have constantly reached out to him, talking about how he shifted from an Overwatch legend to spending millions on gambling. But the streamer quickly turned them down by saying that he could afford it.
With that being said, fans will be expecting something better from xQc after his name change.
What do you think about Felix’s name change? Are you rooting for it? Let us know in the comments section.
