xQc and Gordon Ramsay may be teaming up on Twitch and everyone is losing their minds
Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel is on the verge of pulling off the streaming crossover of the year just days into 2022 after celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay revealed he wants to learn more about Twitch after a name-drop on his new TV series.Twitch’s latest streaming meta —watching cooking shows— has seen Gordon Ramsaydominate the Amazon-owned platform, all without his knowledge.xQc has been at the forefront of what has becomea fairly controversial Twitch meta, sometimes watchingas many as a dozen episodesof Hell’s Kitchen, Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, and other cooking shows during broadcasts. Some want him banned for the TV streams, others aremore impressed, and Lengyel’s numbershave never been higher.And now he’s been handed the chance to take it to another level.On January 2, xQc was able to extend an offer to Ramsay: team up for a huge Twitch streaming collab — one that might break the platform just days into 2022.
Ramsay even took it a step further too, poking fun at himself: the 55-year-old’s Twitter bio now reads “Always near food… Doesn’t know what Twitch is.” https://twitter.com/GordonRamsay/status/1477823246569394180As of publication, xQc and Gordon Ramsay’s little back-and-forth hasn’t gone beyond that, but considering Lengyel’s got the oven all warmed up, it would be a major surprise if he didn’t make a play to get the star chef on-stream.If they do team up, Dexerto will be the first to let you know.Either way, expect to see far more Ramsay on xQc’s stream in the early weeks of 2022; the French-Canadian star is refusing to nip his show-watching streams in the bud, and instead claims Twitch can’t do anything about them despite DMCA warnings hanging over his head in January already.
“I don’t think it’s an issue,” xQc said in response to backlash. “It’s the wild west [on Twitch]. No one knows what’s going to stick, and what’s not going to stick.”
