In the month of June, Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson announced that he might be hosting a League of Legends tournament soon and took the League of Legends community by surprise. It was not a surprise to see MrBeast showing interest in the multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA), since he has already talked about wanting to own a League of Legends team. What seemed to start as friendly banter turned into a grudge match between MrBeast and Tyler "Ninja" Blevins. Following this, fans can tune in and watch the MrBeast vs Ninja grudge match.
On 11th June, he tweeted, “I may or may not be hosting a League of Legends tournament soon,” and followed it up with, “Also @Ninja sucks.”
Replying to MrBeast, Ninja wrote, “I would literally dominate you in a league of legends match and it wouldn’t even be close.”
Now, the MrBeast vs Ninja tournament has a whopping $150,000 USD on the line as prize money and is slated to happen on 9th July at the HyperX Esports Arena in Las Vegas. The MrBeast vs. Ninja Ultimate Crown event will feature a best-of-three match between two stacked teams as part of Amazon and Prime Gaming’s Prime Day celebrations.
