The MOBA competition, which Crown Channel hosted, was a huge success. Numerous well-known streamers, including Tyler1, Doublelift, Ludwig, Mizkif, Emiru, and Yassuo graced the occasion.

In a post-game Twitter post, former caster and pro-play coach Nick "LS" claimed that the Ninja vs. MrBeast game had better itemization than pro leagues:

"Why did the Ninja vs MrBeast game have better itemization than pro leagues?"

League of Legends Twitter thinks that the players used auto-recommended builds

Team Ninja was the favorite to win after a lot of verbal jousting. But Team MrBeast quickly showed that they weren't there to play games.

The following was the roster for MrBeast's League of Legends team:

  • Voyboy - Top lane
  • Mizkif - Jungle
  • Yassuo - Mid Lane
  • Emiru - Bot Lane
  • MrBeast - Support

These content creators and pro gamers were on Ninja's League of Legends team:

  • Tyler1 - Top Lane
  • Sapnap - Jungle
  • Ninja - Mid Lane
  • Doublelift - Bot Lane
  • Ludwig - Support

Team Ninja was the first victim of the entire event as MrBeast won the game in under 33 minutes. In game two, Team MrBeast picked up the tempo and swiftly accrued 26 kills to Team Ninja's 12. In less than 25 minutes, the YouTuber destroyed Team Ninja and won the Ultimate Crown.

LS took to Twitter to express his disbelief with the unreal high-end builds by both the competing teams. However, fans claimed that those were nothing but auto-recommended items, and that players had nothing to do with them.

Also, according to some, pro players can build whatever item they want to gain the largest power spike for an objective at a given time.


Ninja offered a third match as a bonus for $50K

After MrBeast won the best-of-three round, the competition kept raising the stakes. Ninja upped the ante by participating in a $50,000 League of Legends charity match and declared his desire to continue playing by stating:

"Yeah you know, I think what I would really like to do is just do another, one more match final match for $50k for charity. Winner takes all pretty much, yeah. One more match baby!"

Fans continue to rejoice over the YouTube philanthropist's victory in the wildly popular League of Legends competition. Following the success of this event, many are anticipating additional gaming contests from the iconic content creator.
