Two of Twitch’s biggest stars took jabs at each other last night after a viewer told Tyler1 that xQc had insulted his partner, Macaiyla, during a game of Among Us.

The exchange began with Tyler reading a donation from chat claiming that xQc called Macaiyla a “zero IQ bitch” during a game of Among Us that they were a part of. Tyler responded to this with a seemingly dismissive comment.

“XQc is malding in Among Us, a children’s fucking party game that no one gives a fuck about, crazy,” Tyler said.

After this clip was sent to xQc, the feud continued with the former Overwatch League pro choosing to take shots at Tyler’s game of choice, League of Legends.

“He’s playing some fucking Teletubbies, Lego rip off, dogshit, playdough garbage, dollar store Dota, and spent his entire life on it,” xQc said. “At one point, he’s going to wake up and he’s gonna be what, like 60 and have spent 40 years of his life playing a fucking game made for a like 12-year-old.”

Tyler was shown this clip shortly after and responded similarly, criticizing the game xQc had been streaming. He also said the only reason people play with him is because he attracts viewers.

“And what are you playing xQc? A fucking party game with random strangers who only tolerate your shit because you have viewers,” Tyler said. “Now honestly xQc, you’re view botting, OK. There, I said it.”

This isn’t the first time Tyler has accused xQc of view botting, which is “the practice of artificially inflating a live view count,” according to Twitch. Earlier this month, Tyler made the same accusation when a viewer told him that xQc had 100,000 viewers while playing Among Us.
