September & October of 2022 has offered some of the most drama-filled months Twitch has ever seen. From Twitch gambling, to Mizkif and an alleged sexual assault cover-up, to Amouranth revealing an abusive relationship with her husband: Here is a complete timeline of the ongoing events.
Over the past month, Twitch has been plunged into a seemingly endless pool of drama with each day adding to the platform inferno. One story branches into two or three different storylines, with the original bit of drama usually being overshadowed by two streamers feuding over Discord or Twitter.
Saying it’s been a lot to keep up with it would be a gross understatement. Content creators like MoistCr1Tikal and Ludwig have had to make multiple 20-minute-long recap videos as, just when you think the drama is over, another entry in the saga rears its ugly head.
In an attempt to help spectators keep up with all of the ongoings happening on and off Twitch during this soap opera, here is a condensed timeline of events starting with a prologue before the onslaught of Dramageddon.
The Prologue – Shitcamp, xQc, and Erobb
Before the real drama began, a few important events happened that would come back as larger issues in the future. These issues revolved around Shitcamp – an event hosted by streamer QTCinderella – and xQc’s lack of involvement thereof.

September 15 was the last day of “peace” before an endless flood of events would consume the platform. The drama before then was a mere trickle, but from September 16 and on, serious criminal allegations would be levied, bridges would be burnt, and streaming careers would be ended with the entirety of Twitch watching from the sidelines.

September’s Twitch drama came to a screeching halt just in time for the week leading up to TwitchCon San Diego. Reminiscent of an episode of Riverdale, all of the animosity seemed to fade away as once cut-throat rivals spent a week acting as if they hadn’t spent the month prior dragging each other through the mud.
But it was only a matter of time before more drama found its way onto the platforms. However, October has bred completely different kinds of issues for Twitch including disappointing payment schemes, streamers left with life-changing injuries, and beloved broadcasters revealing the heartbreaking truth kept behind closed doors.
