Jynxzi gathered the most influential streamers in the NA scene
A popular streamer in Rainbow Six Siege, Jynxzi has recently begun his League of Legends journey under the guidance of streamer Dantes “Dantes” Forlini. His recent clip of him taking a win on Master Yi blew up in the League community, with his reactions bringing back early memories of experienced players who have grown up playing LoL.
With his own support and now the attention of the entire community, Jynxzi has announced his own League tournament, featuring creators such as Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson, Ludwig Ahgren, and Mark “ohnePixel” Zimmerman.
To celebrate the occasion, Riot Games has confirmed two special drops for the event, including the legendary skin Inkshadow Master Yi. Costing usually 1,820 RP, you will have the chance to earn it for free by tuning into Jynxzi’s event. The tournament will start at 10 PM CET (1 PM Pacific Time).
