Nadeshot adds that he didn’t know a thing about xQc and was stressed with becoming a new owner to even respond to his message.
Luckily for him, xQc cleared the air for everyone and claimed he was looking for a home, as he felt his agents weren’t representing him well enough.
Due to this, he said: “I’m going to send random DMs to all the owners.” Although xQc sent a message to a lot of owners, he would wake up every time thinking he would hear back from at least one of them.

Despite not hearing back from Nadeshot in 2017, that doesn’t rule out the possibility of xQc joining the org when his contract with LG expires. We will have to wait and see if either side is willing to make a monumental move in the future.
