xQc arrived roughly 2.5 hours late to a Rocket League tournament hosted by Jynxzi last week. The delay forced organizers to scramble for a substitute player while waiting for him to show up.
The tournament featured a roster of invited streamers competing in Rocket League matches. xQc was expected to participate from the scheduled start time but never appeared when brackets began.
According to viewers who watched the event play out, xQc woke up late and saw messages about the tournament. He then told Jynxzi he would be online “ASAP.” Instead of immediately joining, xQc took a shower and didn’t log on for another 45 minutes.
Greekgodx stepped in as a substitute during xQc’s absence. The stand-in played through the first two rounds of the opening game before xQc finally arrived.
When xQc eventually joined the call, he offered an explanation involving his phone and alarm. Viewers characterized the excuse as weak given the extended delay.
Jynxzi addressed the situation during the stream and announced that xQc would be banned from future events. xQc reportedly watched the clip later and agreed with the decision.
The pattern continues
This situation fits a well-documented pattern of xQc arriving late or missing scheduled events entirely. Other streamers have publicly discussed avoiding inviting him to time-sensitive tournaments.
Ludwig previously stated he stopped including xQc in events that require punctuality. The streaming community has shared multiple stories about similar delays at various creator competitions.
