xQc reclaims title as top ranked Winston player on NA servers
Overwatch streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel reclaimed his spot as the number one Winston in North America.
“TOOK ME A COUPLE GAMES TO GET THE RUST OFF AND GOT RANK 36 NA, HIGHEST PLAYER WITH WINSTON AS MOST PLAYED ON THE WHOLE SERVER. PICK UP THE THE FUCKING PACE NORTH AMERICA IS NO ONE EVEN TRYING ANYMORE?” xQc declared on
Twitter.
He added a photo for proof that he is, indeed, the 36th highest ranked player on North American servers. xQc also noted that he was the highest-placing player with Winston as their most played hero.
While playing in the inagural season of the Overwatch League, xQc was well known for his Winston prowess. Even though xQc was booted from the Overwatch League for his notoriously toxic behavior, the tank main continued to stream Overwatch for his loyal fans. It seems that his consistent playing has paid off in a big way.
xQc was definitely a threat in the dive meta, in which D.Va and Winston are the tanks of choice thanks to their mobility, and he seems to be a threat now even after 2-2-2 role lock and the double barrier meta taking over. With Sigma and Orisa both nerfed in a recent PTR patch, Winston has been able to show his face once again, along with many other surprising heroes.
Even though xQc is a beast in Overwatch, that doesn’t mean he’s a high ranking player in every other game he streams. In fact, his viewers recently mocked him for being silver in League of Legends.
This didn’t sit well with the streamer, who decided to talk some shit right back at them.
“All the people in chat who are in bronze, silver, and copper dude, just know that it doesn’t get better, you’ll never get out of there, and you’re complete garbage,” he said.
xQc continued, stating that he would climb up to masters and “look down on” the bullies from his “throne” for picking on him while he was temporarily in silver, one of the lowest ranks in League of Legends.
‘Know that you’ll never, ever, be good at the game, and you’ll never even be close to my skill set. But thanks for trying anyway,” he said.
As if that wasn’t enough of a burn, xQc decided to call his viewers “pussies” and explicity stated that he had anal sex with their overweight mothers.
“Fuck you,” xQc concluded.
