xQc has penned down his list of video games based on skillset, and fans are questioning his options.

Nowadays, the eSports industry is witnessing fierce competition, thanks to the availability of multiple games. From RPGs to FPS and a lot more, developers are working day and night to stand out. And because of that, every game requires a special skill set, no matter the competition.

Keeping the importance of this topic in mind, Twitch streamer xQc hopped onto the page to list down games based on skillset. He divided them into categories, explaining why each game deserved a particular place. However, the community had a differential opinion as his chat trolled him multiple times during the stream.

How did xQc rank video games on the Highest Skill Cap/Most Competitive Esports Tier List?

Felix hosted his regular IRL stream on Twitch, yet decided to spice things up for the community. For that, he hopped on to the tier maker, ranking video games based on skill set. The list included popular titles such as Call Of Duty, Valorant, CS:GO, Apex Legends, NBA2K, FIFA, and more. With ‘S’ being the highest and ‘F’ as the lowest, the list also featured a ‘Not Sure’ option. But the real question was how xQc would rank the games, as fans were eager to know his opinion.

First, he ranked three games in the S tier – Dota 2, StarCraft 1 and 2. Then, he moved on to the A tier, a level below the highest skillset. In that, Felix added quite a few titles, such as League of Legends and CapCom’s Tekken. However, what he did next came as a shock as the community considered these games fairly hard.

xQc ranked Valorant in Tier C, below Apex Legends, and CS:GO. And while fans recovered from this blunder, he stunned them by placing Call Of Duty, Fortnite, and a few others even below it. In Tier D, Felix explained that these games required knowledge rather than skills and so they need not rank high in his list. As expected, the community trolled him for this, as they spammed “xQc L” in the chat. However, that made no difference to the Canadian streamer as he remained firm on his decision.
