(Original Story) Dallas Fuel has suspended one of its players, Felix “xQc” Lengyel after the player hurled an insult at a competitor on the Houston Outlaws after a match Thursday night. More details on the suspension will be coming.
Houston beat Dallas with a resounding 4-0 victory on Thursday, after which Lengyel went onto his stream to rant about the loss, eventually directing his anger toward Austin Wilmot of Houston who used Lengyel’s catchphrase “rolled and smoked.”
“No, you didn’t smoke shit. Shut your fucking mouth. Go back there, suck a fat cock. I mean, he would like that.”
It’s obvious from the clip that Lengyel immediately realizes that he let his frustration cross a line, and he quickly apologized on Twitter.
I didn’t say what I said on stream with malicious intent, I legit did not compute the whole thing before. I speak too fast, everything happens too fast. Everything is so fking trash lately. Hope I can turn this into something good, sorry @Muma

Wilmot, who is openly gay, accepted the apology while apologizing for his own stream where he referred to Lengyel as a “homophobic piece of garbage” in response.
No hard feelings at all and I apologize for what I said back. You’re on a great team and I fully expect you to return to full force before playoffs. GL my doggie 😉

While Wilmot may not have taken the flippant, heat-of-the-moment comment personally, Dallas Fuel hasn’t been so forgiving. Lengyel did not play in tonight’s match.
