Forsen Has Seen the Tierlist. He Is Reportedly Overjoyed.

There are moments in the long, strange history of Twitch and its satellites when a ranking means nothing. And then there are moments like Tuesday, when a French-Canadian man placed a Swedish man in the second-highest bracket of a streamer tierlist and the Swedish man, by all accounts, was thrilled about it. This is one of the latter.

To understand the reaction, one must return to Monday, when xQc published a full streamer tierlist placing Hasan in the C tier and Forsen in the A tier. That story has already been told in these pages. What had not yet been told, as of Wednesday morning, was how Forsen received the news.

What happened: A thread submitted by /u/Tox1cAshes to r/LivestreamFail on August 20 carries the title "Forsen is overjoyed to be ranked A tier by his boyfriend xQcOW." The thread exists. It has a link. This correspondent has reviewed it.

What Forsen actually said or did: The precise clip or comment fueling the "overjoyed" characterization is not specified in the thread title, and this publication has not independently verified the underlying footage. The word "overjoyed" belongs, for now, to /u/Tox1cAshes.

What "boyfriend" means here: Nothing legally actionable. The xQc-Forsen dynamic is one of the older bits in the streaming ecosystem, a pseudo-rivalry that both parties have monetized, leaned into, and occasionally weaponized against each other across years of radio interceptions, Kick stunts, and general chaos. The "boyfriend" framing is LSF's standard vernacular for their relationship and should not be forwarded to anyone's legal team.

What is genuinely interesting: xQc placed Hasan, a person he has spent the better part of two weeks arguing with publicly, in C tier. He placed Forsen, a person he once literally interrupted on a shortwave radio frequency, in A. The gap between those two placements is doing a lot of work. Whether it was deliberate trolling, sincere assessment, or some unknowable third thing that only makes sense inside xQc's head is, at this moment, unresolved.

What we don't know: What Forsen said. Whether Hasan has seen the gap. Whether either of them will address it on stream today. Whether any of this connects to the ongoing dog-shocking discourse or exists in a separate, cleaner universe entirely.

History will note that the A tier, in the end, may have been the most devastating thing xQc could have given him.
