xQc Early life and education
Lengyel is a Canadian of Hungarian descent born on November 12, 1995, in Laval, a city in southwestern Quebec, north of Montreal, Canada.

Lengyel was brought up with his only known sibling, a brother, by the name of Nicholas, in shared custody.
During his early years, he was adventurous and developed likes for skateboarding, snowboarding, trampolining, and video games.
After graduating from secondary school, Lyngyel proceeded to college where he studied humanities at Collège d’enseignement général et professional (CEGEP) before switching to administration.
However, he dropped out of school after studying for 3.5 years as he felt that education was not his calling.
He opted to pursue other dreams, and that is when he started streaming games on Twitch.
xQc Career & Net Worth
xQc began his gaming career at DatZit Gaming, a semi-professional esports organization based in Montreal, Canada.
At the outset of his fresh career, he won the Dreamhack Montreal 2016 Overwatch tournament.
Months after working with DatZit Gaming, the organization was taken over by Denial eSports on October 12, 2016.
Denial eSports is globally known for winning the 2015 Call of Duty Championship, but their merger with DatZit Gaming was marred with contortions after the allegation that it failed to pay its players $2,900, which ultimately caused its death.
xQc, with his team known as Arc 6, then moved to compete at Season Zero of Overwatch Contenders but was eliminated in the group stage.
The group made a comeback in the last tournament, the Beat Invitational: Season 2 tournament, but they took the third position after an overall draw. They thus disbanded the team to battle it out independently at the Overwatch League.
On October 28, 2017, xQc joined Dallas Fuel of Overwatch League as a 9th player, but after some time, he was hit with a suspension after making flaming homophobic remarks against rival player Austin “Muma” Wilmot of the Houston Outlaws.
He was also fined $2,000 for breaching the Overwatch League Code of Conduct.
After suspension, he was allowed back to the team at stage two and led Dallas Fuel to victory against the Los Angeles Gladiators.
However, he was slapped again with a suspension after claims of misusing social media to make disparaging comments against Overwatch League casters.
Thereafter, he embarked on full-time streaming but was later signed to GOATS and Gladiators Legion, where he announced his retirement to focus on Twitch streaming.
Before he called it quits, the early retiral had already made a name in the international gaming arena as he played for Team Canada in their 2017 Overwatch World Cup campaign. They qualified for the World Cup after beating the Netherlands with a score of 3-0.
His breakthrough came on February 2, 2019, when a Los Angeles-based esports organization Sentinels signed him as their Twitch content creator.
xQc estimated net worth is $3m to $5m (USD).
