In today's esports industry, there is intense competition due to the vast array of available games, ranging from RPGs to FPS and beyond. Developers like xQc are working tirelessly to distinguish their games from the rest, requiring players to possess specific skill sets to succeed.

To address the significance of this issue, Twitch streamer xQc curated a list of games based on skill set, categorizing them and explaining why each game deserved its particular position. However, during the stream, xQc's chat trolled him numerous times, leading to a divergence of opinion within the community.

What was xQc's methodology for ranking video games?

Felix, a popular Twitch streamer, recently created a tier list of video games based on skill set during one of his IRL streams. The list featured popular titles like Call of Duty, Valorant, CS:GO, Apex Legends, NBA2K, FIFA, and others, with rankings ranging from 'S' (highest) to 'F' (lowest), along with a 'Not Sure' option. Fans were eager to know how he would rank the games. He started with three games in the S tier - Dota 2, StarCraft 1, and 2. Then, he moved on to the A tier, which featured titles like League of Legends and Capcom's Tekken, but the community was surprised by his rankings, as they considered these games quite challenging.

'xQc L'

In his IRL Twitch stream, xQc created a tier list of video games based on skill set, ranking popular titles such as Valorant, Apex Legends, CS:GO, Call of Duty, and Fortnite. Fans were surprised when xQc placed Valorant in Tier C, ranking it below Apex Legends and CS:GO. Even more shockingly, xQc ranked Call of Duty, Fortnite, and a few others even lower in Tier D, explaining that they require knowledge rather than skills. Although the community trolled him for this by spamming, "xQc L", xQc remained firm on his decision. It seems that for xQc, skill set takes precedence over knowledge when ranking video games.
