xQc explains why he sat unusually at the Lakers vs Grizzlies match

xQc was an hour into his broadcast when fans shared the aforementioned meme. After seeing this, the former Overwatch pro explained why he sat in an unusual position during the match between the Lakers and the Grizzlies. He claimed that keeping his legs in that particular way was a "self-soothing" technique:

"Brother, I didn't know at first, why I sat in a bunch of ways. I thought something about it and they said that it's a self-soothing thing. See right now. See the way I'm sitting right now. Look."

xQc went on to describe and demonstrate the various ways he sat:

"(The streamer sits cross-legged on his chair) It's called self-soothing! See that? Because it puts pressure on my legs. There is pressure there, right? Same way as this (The streamer sits in the same position as in the meme). This puts this under tension. You feel? And the guy said, he told me that it's called self-soothing behavior. You feel? So, I think that's why."

During the same broadcast, xQc provided additional details on why The Memphis Grizzlies wanted to kick him and Lucas "Buddha" out of the game. He claimed that the situation arose when the people beside him started heckling and bantering about the Grizzlies. When the team started losing, the staff threatened to kick them out unless they stopped trash-talking.
