xQc has found his next target, and this time it is one of the best footballers on the planet. Reacting to footage of Erling Haaland at his gaming station, the streamer jokingly roasted the Manchester City striker as a “fake gamer.”
The evidence? Two things. A monitor tilted downward at an angle that looks borderline painful, and a controller grip that xQc claims no real gamer would ever use.

In the clip, Haaland is seen sitting in front of a curved monitor that has been pushed into an aggressive downward tilt. xQc zoomed in on the setup, laughing at how un-gamer-like it looked, before moving on to mock the way Haaland was holding his controller.
Haaland reportedly mentions in the original video that he had just hosted a LAN party with friends, which would explain the temporary-looking arrangement. Multiple monitors, a rearranged room, and a screen angled by someone else all fit that story. Window glare or a camera crew messing with the angle are also believable reasons the setup looks off.
There is also a decent argument that the grip looks weird because Haaland is simply navigating a menu, not locked into a competitive match. Holding a controller loosely while scrolling through a dashboard is not exactly a crime.
The bigger picture is that Haaland is almost certainly a casual gamer. He has been linked to Minecraft, EA Sports FC, and Call of Duty over the years, which tracks for a footballer who spends a lot of time in hotels and uses gaming as downtime.
