Here’s a post on r/LivestreamFail that covered xQc leaving the Valorant tournament.
Many fans supported the former Overwatch pro’s decision to leave. Apparently, BoomTV advertised Code Red to be casual and friendly, but in reality, several pro/aspiring pros were participating. Accordingly, many games turned out to be one-sided, and viewers could only witness their favorite creators getting dominated by actual professionals.
BoomTV’s Valorant tournaments have a long history of disappointing creators
It is worth noting that xQc isn’t the only creator who had a bad time at BoomTV’s Valorant tournaments. In the previous installment, the hosts had disrespected Sykkuno and Fuslie.

During a game, one of the commentators claimed that Fuslie and Sykkuno should not play FPS games, and instead stick to games like Among Us. This not only triggered millions of fans around the world, but Sykkuno and Fuslie. As a result, BoomTV had to apologize to Sykkuno and his team for the statements of the commentators.
We messed up. It's not a secret. Glad they are giving us a second chance though ❤️
