I had this example. Why "Et toi, qui est-ce qu' as-tu rencontré?" is wrong? Can't we use qui est-ce que here?
Et toi, ________ as-tu rencontré?

Et toi, ________ as-tu rencontré?
This question relates to:French lesson "Qui/Qui est-ce que ... ? = Whom ... ? (French Questions)"

Minas,
Have a look at the linked lessons. Verb inversion is not used in questions using est-ce que, so using it is not an option in this example.
Asking yes/no questions in French with intonation, est-ce que, n'est-ce pas (French Questions)

You have to choose between the two options:
(1) Qui est-ce que tu as rencontré? -- using est-ce que...
(2) Qui as-tu renctontré? -- inversion
You can't use them both in one sentence.
