xQc Has Now Weighed In on Asmongold's 'Rigged' Streamer Awards Claim. He Does Not Fully Agree.
A clip posted to r/LivestreamFail on October 22 shows xQc offering a specific counter-read: the awards may be 'rigged by design,' he said, and that is not necessarily the problem Asmongold thinks it is.
On October 22, a clip submitted by u/Impossible_Cattle703 to r/LivestreamFail captured xQc responding directly to Asmongold's claim that the Streamer Awards are rigged. The clip's title quotes him as saying, "I wanted to disagree with him.. I think these things are rigged by design, and it's not really inherently a problem." That is a narrower disagreement than a full rebuttal, and the distinction matters for the record.
For the record: Asmongold called the Streamer Awards rigged on October 21, offered QTCinderella $100,000 for an audit, and praised fellow streamer Kaise for echoing the claim the same day. xQc's remarks, posted one day later, represent the first documented on-stream response from a named third-party streamer that challenges the framing of Asmongold's argument rather than simply amplifying it.
What the record shows
Three additional clips surfaced on r/LivestreamFail on October 22 alongside the xQc post. Here is what each one claims, attributed to its source:
- A clip submitted by u/Victor556_rawrr carries the title "Kaise on the real reason for Asmongold's growing female fanbase." The post exists on r/LivestreamFail as of October 22. No transcript or verified quote from that clip appears in available sourcing.
- A second clip submitted by the same user, u/Victor556_rawrr, shows Asmongold "explains how a game from a well renowned studio actually failed." The specific studio and title are not named in available sourcing.
- A third clip, submitted by u/Jealous_Diamond_4321, shows Asmongold reacting to HasanAbi saying the phrase "Well well well..." No additional context from that clip is available in sourcing.
Separately, a YouTube video titled "GAMERS WON.." appeared under Asmongold's channel in Google News aggregation dated October 22. The subject of the upload is not specified in available sourcing.
Where xQc's argument lands
xQc's framing, as captured in the clip title, accepts the premise that institutional awards processes involve structural bias but declines to treat that bias as a scandal. That is a different argument from Asmongold's, which framed the outcome as something requiring a financial audit. Whether xQc elaborated further or whether Asmongold has responded to that pushback is not documented in available sourcing as of October 23.
What happens next
Open questions as of October 23: whether QTCinderella has responded to the $100,000 audit offer; whether Asmongold addresses xQc's counter-framing on stream; what the "GAMERS WON.." upload refers to; and whether any additional named streamers have commented on the awards dispute on record.
