As of late, Saudi Arabia has been making a concerted effort to establish itself as the esports capital of the world—an effort that might just be paying off given the success of the inaugural Esports World Cup and the truly staggering budget poured into it.

Some think the deference shown in the face of all that Saudi money might be going a bit far, however. Twitch superstar xQc was one of many streamers who co-streamed the Esports World Cup, with a disclaimer in the stream title disclosing that he was paid to do so as a means to get more eyes on the burgeoning event. Even if he hadn’t been so upfront about being sponsored, however, fans might have been able to guess from one moment in particular.
