LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The deadly fighting game 'Mortal Kombat 1' has finally been launched, and since its return, the internet has been ablaze, encouraging many individuals to play it, including Felix Lengyel alias xQc.

While many felt the game was a "flawless victory" in terms of design and everything else, the same couldn't be said for xQc, who seemed to have a hard time enjoying or even playing the newly launched game.

On Thursday, September 14, xQc who tried his hands out at 'Mortal Kombat 1', showed why he chose to pursue a career in 'Overwatch' over the fighting game industry.

In his very first match, xQc who chose General Shao's character started losing a minute into the game, falling victim to a barrage of low attacks that he initially refused to block.

However, the French Canadian's performance in round two only got worse, as he found himself getting beat, eventually losing his patience.

A few games later, it seemed like xQc's frustration just kept getting worse as he was seen striking his keyboard repeatedly. 

Seemingly losing his cool, xQc picked up the keyboard and slammed it against his desk. 

xQc asserted that his internet slowed down and that his chat would never have known who would have won the set as a result of the Scorpion mirror in another match, which further upset xQc and forced him to Alt+F4 out of the game.



 

After a while, xQc grew weary of losing live matches on Twitch and announced that he was transferring to Kick.

Well, this certainly wasn't how fans expected xQc's 'Mortal Kombat 1' broadcast to end.

Internet users flocked to the YouTube video's comment section to take a jab at xQc's 'anger' over something so trivial. 

One user said, "Man, abusing the keyboard when it was just chilling there, how rude." Another user mocking xQc wrote, "Bruh only know 3 moves. Normal attack, uppercut, and fatal blow lol."The third commentator stated, "USING THE FINAL BOSS AND LOSING."

What is 'Mortal Kombat 1'? 

'Mortal Kombat 1' is a fighting game developed by NetherRealm Studios and published by Warner Bros Games. It will be the twelfth main installment in the 'Mortal Kombat' series, serving as both a sequel to 'Mortal Kombat 11' and the series' second reboot. 

'Mortal Kombat 1' is one of the highest-rated games of 2023 with a stellar 88 total review score, according to GameRant.

The game has gotten considerable praise from critics despite initial reservations about several aspects, such as the contentious Kameo Fighters, and has become one of the highest-rated games of the year despite not receiving as many favorable reviews as rival 'Street Fighter 6'.
