Former professional esports player and current Twitch streamer Felix “xQc” Lengyel has been temporarily suspended by Twitch after he was caught stream sniping in Fall Guys.

The incident took place during a Twitch Rivals tournament during GlitchCon, which was initially reported over the past weekend by Dot Esports.
