xQc had to cut his livestream short after collapsing during a training session for the upcoming Sidemen Charity Match.
The streamer was training as a goalkeeper for the high-profile charity football event. After roughly 15 minutes of drills and warmups, he became severely winded and dropped to the ground. He ended the broadcast shortly after, unable to continue.

The Sidemen Charity Match is an annual football event organized by the UK YouTube collective that brings together content creators and internet personalities for charity. Previous editions have raised millions for various causes and drawn massive online viewership. This year’s match continues the tradition of pairing streamers and creators in a full-scale football game.
xQc’s goalkeeper position typically requires less running than outfield positions during an actual match. But the training session still proved challenging. Goalkeeper drills involve explosive lateral movements, repeated getting up and down, and quick reactions, activities that can spike heart rate quickly without a solid cardio base.
This shows the gap between streaming stamina and athletic conditioning. Many creator participants in these charity matches aren’t regular athletes, and training sessions often expose fitness limitations quickly.
