“It’s for the greater good” - xQc comments on W/L community streamers not getting banned on Twitch

Felix "xQc," a Twitch streamer, shared his opinion on why the W/L community is less likely to get banned compared to other streamers. It is a group of streamers who often play loud music, engage in gambling, and chat with their audience. Their name is derived from the fact that their chat typically spams "W" or "L," depending on the streamer's actions.

Apart from being a fresh wave of streamers, many are known for being controversial and have faced temporary suspensions from Twitch (apart from Adin Ross, who was handed a permanent ban).

However, according to xQc, there is no need to impose additional restrictions on them. He stated:

"They don't really know the full massive ToS" - xQc on why W/L streamers should be given a chance to grow

Even though xQc is a prominent figure in the Poggers community, he has maintained close ties with several W/L streamers. For instance, he has a strong friendship with Kai Cenat and has collaborated with him on numerous live streams. Speaking about why they do not get banned more often, he said:

"I'm telling you okay? That the W squad should have got banned four, five, or six times more and you know what? they never did and I'm never gonna cry about it because i understand why they didn't get banned."

He continued:

"They come from different places, YouTube, TikTok, other big places. They come on Twitch with a lot of big audiences, right? They have a launch pad, right? but they come on and then they don't really know the full massive ToS and then they make a mistake by accident. Here or there."

Furthermore, the streamer added that they might unintentionally make mistakes due to their lack of complete understanding of Twitch culture. He said:

"No dude, it's fine. Give them a warning. Sh*t happens. That's just how things have to be sometimes."

About the author

Shreyan is an esports and gaming journalist at Sportskeeda, focusing on streamer content. He holds a Master's degree in English Literature, and journalism was the most logical next step for him. Although titles like FIFA 08 and GTA San Andreas acted as the catalyst for his love of video games, the exponential growth of the streaming community also propelled his interest in the genre. He also has a prior work experience of 2 years.

Shreyan considers factual and accurate content to be the most important as a creator and a reader. He ensures this by double checking every piece of information in his articles and sourcing it from streamers directly rather than depend on third parties. His works have caught the attention of the heavyweights, with the PR team of Sidemen (a YouTube group he’s been following since his teenage days) and Chess.com reaching out to him for sending exclusive press releases.

Shreyan would love to drop into the virtual world of FIFA/EA FC and explore it further but, he would recommend playing Red Dead Redemption 2 to gaming skeptics for its top-tier gameplay, story and characters. During his downtime, he enjoys balancing his interests in reading, watching films and sports, and of course, playing video games.
