No Surprises: xQc’s Hilarious Stream Sniping Incident in Mario Kart 8
Whenever you tune into xQc’s Twitch stream, you know you’re in for a good laugh, regardless of the game or situation.
Last night, the Canadian broadcaster decided to play some rounds of Mario Kart 8 on the Nintendo Switch. However, he soon developed a suspicious feeling that someone was stream sniping him.
At the beginning of a new race, xQc decided to test how many people in the public lobby were watching his stream, or “stream sniping” as it’s commonly referred to.
As the race countdown began, xQc jokingly said, “If you’re a sniper, don’t go forward.” When the timer reached zero, only two racers actually started playing the game as intended.
The rest of the lobby gathered around xQc at the starting line and began bouncing around him, leaving the streamer stunned. All he could do was laugh and facepalm as the chat filled up with OMEGALULs and LULs.
Being one of the biggest streamers in the world comes with its own set of challenges, and not being able to play a regular multiplayer match is one of them. xQc has faced similar difficulties in games like Fortnite and Overwatch in the past.
However, when it comes to a lighthearted and casual game like Mario Kart, it’s easy to join in the laughter—and that’s exactly what everyone watching did.
