Twitch star xQc isn’t impressed by Kai Cenat’s upcoming Streamer University and thinks its courses are missing an extremely important skill.
In May 2025, Kai Cenat finally confirmed his Streamer University would be taking applications after first announcing the project months prior.
The university is designed to help take 150 rising creators and turn them into superstars by offering a series of courses that will be hosted at a real as-yet unspecified college campus.
While numerous people have signed up, one big name in the streaming space, Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel, doesn’t believe the “university” will actually help creators take their content to the next level.
xQc slams Kai Cenat’s Stream University courses as “useless”
During a May broadcast after Kai’s big reveal, Lengyel checked out the Streamer University website and was confused by some of the courses offered.
The site lists ‘sex education,’ ‘business management,’ ‘music production’ and ‘film and acting’ as courses.
“Dude, they need to change this low-key to ‘react,’ ‘stalling,’ ‘event hosting,’ ‘fake drama,’ ‘clip farming’ – that’s what you got to know!” the French Canadian said. “That’s what you got to know. You don’t need any of this sh*t.”
According to the Kick star, who signed a $100M contract to stream on the platform, the biggest skill for streamers is being able to stall.
“Stalling is the most important, notable skill of live broadcast,” he said before turning his attention back to Kai’s courses. “Most of this sh*t is useless. Most of the live content is superfluous content. You need to be able to stall hard. People have been meta advancing stalling for years.”
Stalling typically involves playing for time waiting for a guest to show up, jumping from topic-to-topic on the fly, and still finding a way to be entertaining for viewers.
For his part, Kai Cenat has remained adamant that his Streamer University is the real deal and will be beneficial to the 150 people who get approved.
In response to Los Pollos TV’s dad calling the program a “scam,” Kai claimed that he simply hadn’t done his research on his plans and that the concept as a whole was “hard to fathom.”
When Cenat first announced the project, MrBeast even asked to come on board and teach creators “how to YouTube.”
