Dallas Fuel fyrer xQc fra deres Overwatch-hold

Overwatch League-holdet Dallas Fuel har afsløret via Twitter, at spilleren Félix 'xQc' Lengyel ikke længere er en del af holdet. Angiveligvis var dette en beslutning begge parter var enige om. Dette sker nu til trods for at hans kontrakt først afsluttes i slutningen af sæsonen. Dog kan det meget vel have noget med at gøre, at han for nylig blev bandlyst fra fire kampe for stødende kommentarer i sidste uge. Det betyder at han ikke kan spille eller træne med noget hold overhovedet.

"There are few players out there who have achieved as much success in as short a time as Félix has in competitive Overwatch. Ultimately, it was in the best interest of our organization and Félix to part ways before the expiration of his contract. No one wants to see Félix succeed more than we do, and we believe he has a bright future ahead of him. I want to thank him for his time and the passion he brought to the Dallas Fuel," fortæller Mike Rufail der ejer Dallas Fuel.

Lengyel har befundet sig i et hav af skandaler i løbet af det seneste stykke tid. Blandt andet har han brugt den såkaldte TriHard Emote, som ifølge mange er racistisk. Vært Malik Forté har beskrevet denne således via Twitter:

"Is the Trihard emote racist? No. But spamming it whenever a black person is on the screen and only then is 100% racially insensitive, rather that's the intent or not. To me, it's a sly way of saying "hey gais, luk! A black guy heheh". It's been happening to me for about 3 years."
