Nicholas “Jynxzi” Stewart’s next target is to play League of Legends and Apex Legends, aiming to revive Respawn’s Battle Royale, which is not in its best state right now.
Jynxzi has built a reputation that goes well beyond any single game. In 2026 alone, he has flipped the script on games like Clash Royale, run one of the year’s biggest CS2 streamer events, and is now teasing a VALORANT tournament that has the entire community buzzing.
So when he casually mentions that League of Legends and Apex Legends are his next targets, nobody laughs it off.
Clash Royale saw a spike in returning players and new signups during the months he was heavily streaming it, which made Supercell’s decision not to credit him in their “historic year” recap all the more baffling.
He publicly called the omission out, and the community largely agreed with him. Even major figures like MrBeast and CouRage openly said they only got into Clash Royale because of his streams. That kind of pull is rare, and it’s exactly why his comments about League of Legends and Apex Legends carry real weight.
Jynxzi’s recent endeavours speak for themselves
Jynxzi’s Counter-Strike 2 chapter was the clearest demonstration yet of what he can do for a game’s visibility. After pulling together a packed lineup of over 20 creators, including ohnePixel, xQc, Adin Ross, Sketch, Deji, and more, for a 4v4 streamer tournament on March 15, the event broadcast across 45 channels on Twitch, YouTube, and Kick, and peaked at close to 481K concurrent viewers. That put it in the top five most-watched CS2 events of 2026 at the time.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing, though, as his Steam account got hit with a 72-hour cooldown mid-stream during a case-opening session, after a friend sent him a Steam gift card in an attempt to bypass the platform’s $2,000 daily spending cap. This move automated Steam’s fraud detection and was flagged immediately.
VALORANT is already in motion
Shortly after the CS2 tournament wrapped, Jynxzi jumped into VALORANT and started getting coached by Tyson “TenZ” Ngo. His debut stream for the game peaked at 81K viewers, and his first Ace even caught the attention across the community.
Now he’s confirmed a VALORANT streamer tournament set for March 29, following the same blueprint as his CS2 event. The initial announcement already drew over a thousand replies, with names like tarik, jL, iiTzTimmy, and even the official VALORANT account throwing their hat in.
League and Apex are his next chapter
Jynxzi has named League of Legends and Apex Legends as the games he plans to grind and “revive” next. He specifically commented that Apex is “in the gutter right now.” It’s not far off from how a major chunk of its own playerbase describes its current state, including matchmaking problems and slow content.
For League, the situation is different. The streamer describes, “I gotta play League of Legends before I d*e, it looks like the highest skill gap game ever.”
Going by his track record across Clash Royale, Rocket League, Rainbow Six Siege, CS2, and now VALORANT, writing him off would be the wrong move. It would be interesting to see the stats of the streams he’s planning to do around these two games.
