xQc

Samantha Lopez sought a divorce, claiming that she and Félix Lengyel had entered into an informal marriage in Texas. A trial court had granted Lengyel a no-evidence summary judgment. On 10 April 2026, the Texas Third Court of Appeals found that Lopez had presented more than a mere scintilla of evidence concerning the disputed elements, reversed the summary judgment and remanded the case.

During a multistream, xQc showed a very short clip of the 2026 World Cup taken from social media. Twitch notified him of two copyright strikes and a reported 48-hour suspension relating to protected tournament footage. However, his channel was restored a few hours later, according to available reports.

xQc signed a non-exclusive contract with Kick reportedly guaranteeing $70 million over two years, with incentives potentially bringing the total to $100 million. The deal drew criticism because of structural links between Kick and crypto casino Stake.com, particularly as xQc had already made gambling a significant part of his streams. Later in 2023, he publicly acknowledged being paid to gamble on stream.

xQc stated that he had lost approximately $1.85–2 million in one month and described himself as addicted to gambling. After previously announcing that he would stop streaming slot machines, he signed or continued a commercial relationship with Stake.com and resumed gambling sessions before a very large audience, fuelling criticism of gambling promotion to young viewers.

xQc's participation in the private GTA RP NoPixel server led to successive sanctions for breaching roleplay rules and conflicts with other players. His fifth ban, in May 2021, was described as permanent following another confrontation involving, in particular, a character played by PENTA.

Before his November 2020 ban for stream sniping, xQc had already been suspended three times by Twitch: in July 2019 after showing a pornographic video, in February 2020 after a naked AI character appeared in a Connect 4 game, and in June 2020 after a brief clip showing two gorillas mating.

The Overwatch League sanctioned xQc again, this time with a $4,000 fine and a four-match suspension, for repeatedly using the TriHard emote in a manner described by the league as racially disparaging, as well as for other disparaging remarks. Shortly afterwards, Dallas Fuel and the player ended their collaboration before the contract expired.

Before the Overwatch League launched, Félix Lengyel's Overwatch account was suspended for 72 hours for 'misuse of reporting system'. The incident, which occurred during a broadcast match, also prompted debate about how Blizzard's reporting system operated and its transparency.

A few weeks after his first sanction, xQc received a seven-day Overwatch suspension after deliberately throwing competitive matches out of frustration. The incident heightened concerns about his conduct ahead of the Overwatch League's inaugural season.
