What has xQc previously said about signing a professional Valorant esports team?
Last month, on February 28, 2023, viewers asked xQc when he would start his "Juicers Esports" team. The 27-year-old personality revealed his desire to purchase an esports team. Things, however, became "weird."
He provided details about the situation by saying:
"'Juicer Esports when?' My brother. I said I was interested in buying a team. I couldn't. I wanted to buy it. It was weird. I was way above with that team. They'd already found a sponsor. I said, 'Yo, guys! I want to buy a team.' The other game that I got, was a bunch of low Silver, crypto scammers, and that's it! Nobody else!"
xQc is no stranger to esports, as he has previously played in the Overwatch League. Throughout his career, the Quebec native has been a part of eight teams. He most recently worked as a content creator for Luminosity Gaming.
