“How does it make any sense? Okay? In a real life scenario. This guy gets bombed, right there, and doesn’t die.” said xQc.

In any other game, xQc’s teammates might have agreed with him. Unfortunately, it was a classic Call of Duty lobby and his teammates outright told him to stop complaining and just play the game.

Even xQc didn’t resist, and told his teammates that they were terrible. This was enough to start a verbal battle where everyone started abusing and insulting each other. Moreover, xQc’s teammates mocked him by laughing.

A post on r/LivestreamFail described the aforementioned incident as xQc having a ‘true COD experience’:
