Linus Tech Tips makes a surprise appearance on xQc's stream, places a $1,000 bet

On February 6, popular tech YouTuber Linus from Linus Tech Tips surprised the community by appearing on the livestream of Twitch star Felix "xQc." The former brought top-of-the-line PC components to build a brand-new system for the latter.

While Felix was introducing Linus to his viewers, the YouTuber inquired what was "broken" about his computer and stated:

"What's up?... All right, so where's the broken computer at? This one right here? I brought a little something of just about everything we could possibly need. Can you explain to me what's broken about it? Because I'm going to be honest with you, all I saw was you tweeting, 'Oh my god! My computer's broken again!'"
