Jynxzi broke his all-time Twitch viewer record during his League of Legends streamer tournament, clearing more than 300,000 live viewers within the first hour of the broadcast.
The number passed his previous peak from 2024 and kept climbing as the event continued. According to Streams Charts, Jynxzi’s new Twitch record is 417,711 peak viewers, making the tournament his biggest stream to date by far.
Jynxzi, best known for his rise through Rainbow Six Siege, organized a creator-focused League of Legends event after recently picking up Riot’s MOBA and pulling a new audience into the game. The tournament brought together streamers and content creators from several different communities, many of whom barely played PC games before, let alone something as skill-intensive as League of Legends.
The lineup included xQc, MoistCr1TiKaL, MrBeast, Ludwig, Tyler1, Doublelift, Pobelter, Tyler1, Emiru, and many other big names both in streaming, content creation, and League of Legends, who were drafted into eight teams.
The event itself also performed incredibly well, with 831,979 peak viewers across Twitch, Kick, and YouTube, with more than 2.4 million hours watched and over 514,000 average viewers across five hours.
Riot also gave viewers another reason to tune in, with the viewers being able to earn Twitch Drops during the tournament, including the Look Inward emote for watching for 30 minutes of watch time, and the Inkshadow Master Yi skin and champion for the viewers who tuned in for two hours or more. These feebies likely helped boost the audience number, but the names themselves and the lack of big, for-fun events in League were definitely a bigger draw.
Unfortunately for Jynxzi, his team was eliminated from the competition after a bitter loss against xQc.
The event was streamed live on Jynxzi’s Twitch channel, but every participant also streamed their own POVs on their own platforms.
