YouTube star IShowSpeed just dropped a bombshell announcement: he’s hosting a Fortnite tournament with a jaw-dropping $100,000 prize pool. And joining him at the helm? None other than fellow streaming sensation Jynxzi. The event will bring together 100 top creators in what’s shaping up to be one of the wildest Fortnite competitions of the year.
Speed and Jynxzi Join Forces
It all went down during one of IShowSpeed’s high-energy IRL streams. While cruising through Eastern Europe, Speed FaceTimed Jynxzi, and the two began hyping up an event they had clearly been cooking behind the scenes. Moments later, the bomb was dropped: a $100K Fortnite tournament featuring 100 streamers. That’s right, a full century of internet personalities battling it out for a six-figure bag.
100 Streamers. One Champion.
Unlike standard esports events backed by big organizations, this one’s being led by creators, for creators. IShowSpeed and Jynxzi are putting streamer energy at the center. No strict team rosters, no esports org politics. Just raw entertainment, Fortnite chaos, and a whole lot of bragging rights.With 100 streamers expected to compete, viewers can look forward to crossovers, trash talk, insane clutches, and some hilarious on-stream fails. While no formal list has dropped yet, fans are already speculating about who might show up — think Kai Cenat, Clix, Adin Ross, and maybe even some surprise OGs from the Fortnite scene.
$100K on the Line
$100,000 is serious money. This isn’t just for fun; the stakes are real. That kind of prize pool brings out the sweat in even the most chill creators. Expect custom lobbies, unique challenges, maybe even a few curveballs from Speed himself to keep things spicy. With both Twitch and YouTube audiences tuning in, this will be a global spectacle.
The Event Will Stream on YouTube and Twitch
Speed has recently begun multistreaming across platforms, and this tournament will likely follow suit. Whether you’re on Twitch or YouTube, there’ll be no shortage of perspectives to switch between. Expect highlight reels, stream snipes, and a flood of clips dominating social media once things kick off.And with both IShowSpeed and Jynxzi at the center, you already know this isn’t going to be your average Fortnite lobby. Expect screaming, dancing, trolling, and the kind of chaotic energy only Speed can bring.
No Date Yet, But Hype’s Already Peaking
While an official date for the tournament hasn’t been confirmed yet, the announcement itself has sent fans into a frenzy. Speed hinted at it happening “in the next upcoming weeks,” so it’s likely dropping before the end of July.Streamers are already teasing potential invites, and Fortnite fans are marking calendars. This could easily go down as one of the most entertaining streamer-led events of 2025.
