Jynxzi added that, like the first edition, Riot Games would throw its weight behind this competition as well, as he had spoken to the company's officials regarding its conduct. The 24-year-old added that Twitch Drops would be there to make things "insane".

"Also, chat, big news. I got off the phone with Riot Games yesterday. We have another League of Legends tournament coming soon. As you guys know, our last League of Legends tournament peaked at 420,000 viewers, on a League of Legends creator tournament. We're doing another one; I don't have the 100% date yet. But it's probably going to be in mid-October. The drops on it are insane! And it's going to be awesome!"

Jynxzi also disclosed to fans that during the same call with Riot Games, he received permission to livestream the League of Legends World Championship 2026 finals from New York City alongside Dantes Forlini. They plan to ask Tyler "loltyler1" Steinkamp to join them.

Where to watch Jynxzi's second League of Legends streamer tournament

The main destination to catch the action will be Jynxzi's Twitch channel. Since he has jumped onto the multistreaming bandwagon, fans can also watch their favorite streamers duke it out on his YouTube channel of the same name.

The first League of Legends tournament hosted by Jynxzi was a star-studded affair, including names like Ludwig Ahgren, TheBurntPeanut, and Emily "Emiru" Schunk. They all livestreamed the action on their channels as well, and fans can expect the same level of broadcasting activity from participants in the second iteration.

What happened at Jynxzi's first League of Legends streamer tournament?

Jynxzi's first such influencer-led LoL tourney was held in May, and it generated 4.7 million Hours Watched over the nine-hour broadcast. It also averaged over half a million viewers and reached a peak of 920.8K concurrent viewers, with Jynxzi's personal broadcast hitting 418K Peak Viewers, the highest viewership in his streaming career.

In fact, with over 920K PV, it outperformed the combined peak viewership of the LEC Spring 2026, LCS Spring 2026, and the CBLOL 2026 Cup, as per Esports Charts. It reiterated the fact that under the right circumstances, creator-led entertainment events can draw more eyes than many of the scene's premier professional leagues.

Alongside renowned content creators like Charles "MoistCr1TiKaL" White Jr. and Rani "StableRonaldo", the tournament lineup also featured former League of Legends pros. Names like Zachary "Sneaky" Scuderi, Yiliang "Doublelift" Peng, and Eugene "Pobelter" Park were seen in action.

In the end, the tournament concluded with a one-sided grand final. Team xQc (Félix "xQc" Lengyel, Kingsman, Chen-Ruei "Ray" Hsu, Nicholas "Sapnap" Armstrong, and Alois "AloisNL" Nelissen) overpowered Team Zoil (Warwick "Zoil" Badminton, Ludwig, James "ArrowCS", Georgie "Pokelawls" Karam, and Sneaky) to emerge triumphant in a swift 27 minutes.

As part of his challenge of livestreaming for 700 days straight, Jynxzi has taken up learning many prominent games and hosting events featuring streamers that have attracted large audiences. Apart from League of Legends, he has conducted streamer tournaments in Counter-Strike,  Rocket League, and Valorant, with a few of them rivaling tier-2 esports leagues in viewership.
