Jimmy MrBeast Donaldson and Tyler Ninja Blevins, one of the biggest media personalities on YouTube and Twitch, will compete for $150K in a League of Legends bo3 showmatch. The Ultimate Crown event will take place on July 9th at the HyperX Arena in Las Vegas.
MrBeast and Ninja will become captains of their respective teams, but it is not yet known which players they will invite. It is worth saying that Blevins has a Diamond rank on the North American LoL server, while Donaldson is only Silver. Perhaps that is why Ninja fueled interest in the duel with such a bold statement:
"This guy's like one of the worst support players I've seen in my entire life. I would absolutely dominate MrBeast in a 1v1 situation or in a 5v5 situation in League of Legends and it wouldn't even be close."
Crown will host the duel between MrBeast and Ninja, and the match will be broadcast on its Twitch channel. It should be noted that this company is engaged in the production of various gaming and streaming events, and its broadcasts attract tens thousands of viewers at peak. The channel's record for concurrent viewership was set during the Crown Cup event: it was watched by up to 152K Peak Viewers.
MrBeast is one of the most popular English-speaking video bloggers on YouTube. His channel has over 97 million subscribers, and, according to Forbes, Donaldson's 2021 revenue reached $54 million.
Ninja is one of the most popular streamers on Twitch and the platform’s leader by the number of followers (18.3 million). At the same time, almost 24 million users have subscribed to his YouTube channel.
