For the uninitiated, the Austin drama refers to a time when the Canadian streamer ruffled a lot of feathers when he called out the Austin-based streamers for being “extremely f***ing hostile.” The controversy began when xQc was reacting to one of Mizkif’s videos in the aftermath of the Greekgodx ban and called the Texan streaming community based around the city of Austin very unwelcoming to outsiders.
Today’s clash occurred after Mizkif called out a bunch of creators for baiting drama by badmouthing streamers such as Asmongold, Nmplol and himself:
Addressing how the charges of gatekeeping people from joining their social circles are true to some extent, Mizkif defended him and his friends, saying that streamers from Austin are no more toxic than others. This is when the streamer realized that xQc had joined the chat.
As it turned out, the former Overwatch player did not appreciate the way his accusations were dismissed by Mizkif, and he ended up calling him a manipulator. The message was then shared multiple times by viewers as a copypasta. The original message started with xQc’s sarcastic remark, followed up by the accusation:
xQc basically pointed out that Mizkif allegedly tried to leech viewers off of a podcast created by Maya, Adept, Macaiyla, QT and Malena a couple of years ago called Houswives podcast.

The moment the streamer read the chat message, which accused him of being a leech, Mizkif promptly turned the tables with a counter accusation about the time that almost everyone, including xQc, reacted to Adin Ross’s Andrew Tate content:
Mizkif appeared to have no qualms with xQc’s accusations and defended his actions, saying that he was reacting to his then girlfriend Maya’s content. He further stated that reacting to the stream was not to leech but to add to both their viewership and added that Maya had no problem with him streaming the podcast:
Clearly not impressed with xQc, Mizkif further lambasted him by accusing him of ditching a charity event to do gambling streams. Which, according to him, would be a worse crime than co-streaming:
Reddit reactions to the whole drama
The streamer-centric Livestreamfail subreddit immediately hopped on to the drama as Redditors tried to figure out and give their opinion on all of the shenanigans happening between Mizkif and xQc.
Many had a lot to say about both the streamers, but a fair few thought that the Juicer was creating unnecessary drama by bringing back the past.
Mizkif is on the record for talking smack about gambling streamers, which includes xQc. In fact, another similar drama could have easily happened earlier this year when xQc decided to move back to Canada and do regular gambling streams, which did not sit right with the Texan.
