The Overwatch League have taken disciplinary action against four players for four teams. These punishments range from formal warnings to fines and suspensions.
The largest of these punishments went to none other than Félix “xQc” Lengyel of the Dallas Fuel. xQc received a suspension for most of stage one after making homophobic remarks towards Houston Outlaw player Austin “Muma” Wilmot. Now xQc has been suspended for four matches and fined $4,000.
You can view all the players and punishments down below…
- Timo “Taimou” Kettunen, of the Dallas Fuel, is fined $1,000 for using anti-gay slurs on his personal stream.
- Tae-yeong “TaiRong” Kim, of the Houston Outlaws, has received a formal warning for posting an offensive meme on social media. After the incident, TaiRong issued an unprompted public apology, and made a donation to the Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation, actions which were taken into account when determining the judgment against him.
- Ted “Silkthread” Wang, of the Los Angeles Valiant, is fined $1,000 for account sharing, a violation of the Blizzard End User License Agreement.
- Félix “xQc” Lengyel, of the Dallas Fuel, is suspended for four matches, effective March 12, and fined $4,000. xQc repeatedly used an emote in a racially disparaging manner on the league’s stream and on social media, and used disparaging language against Overwatch League casters and fellow players on social media and on his personal stream. Previously, xQc has been warned, fined, and suspended for similar infractions.
