The content creator League of Legends tournament hosted by Nicholas ‘Jynxzi’ Stewart saw massive viewership.
With 40 streamers playing, including the likes of James ‘Mr Beast’ Donaldson, Ludwig Ahgren, and Mark ‘ohnePixel’ Zimmerman, the tournament hit a combined peak of 908,068 viewers with over 4.6 million hours watched.
This makes it the fourth-most-watched League of Legends tournament in 2026 so far, beating both the LEC and LCS.
Only the LCK and the First Stand international tournament attracted higher viewership.
Team Ray Wins Jynxzi Tournament
The tournament featured six teams led by noobie captains with one Challenger-ranked player on each team forced onto supports with non-damage items.
And in the end, it was the team of Chen-Ruei ‘Ray’ Hsu who came out on top.
He drafted Dutch streamer Alois ‘AloisNL’ Nelissen as his Challenger player and then added Kingsman265, Sapnap, and former Overwatch pro Félix ‘xQc’ Lengyel.
In the final, they met Team Zoil which included Ludwig, ArrowCS, Georgie ‘Pokelawls’ Karam, and former Cloud9 pro Zachary ‘Sneaky’ Scuderi.
The exciting series went to all three games as Jynxzi got his first taste of Silver Scrapes.
Team Ray took the first game with 15 kills for Kingsman’s Mordekaiser and 23 kills for xQc’s Smolder winning them the 43-minute thriller.
Team Zoil then tied things up with a strong deathless performance from his bot lane of Sneaky and Pokelawls, the latter of whom got a penta kill early into the tournament.
But it was xQc who clutched again in the third match. Despite some excellent Nocturne ults by Ludwig, xQc’s Malphite was unkillable with a final score of 12/0/6.
That performance earned Team Zoil the victory and 250 gifted subs for each team member from Jynxzi.
