Ninja was the first blood of the entire event which led to a 35 to 21 kill game in favor of MrBeast ending in just 33 minutes.

Team MrBeast picked up the pace in game two quickly racking up 26 kills to Team Ninja’s 12. Demolishing Team Ninja in less than 25 minutes, MrBeast took home the Ultimate Crown.

Ninja offers bonus third match for $50K

Of course, Ninja’s competitive spirit wouldn’t let MrBeast walk away without a fight. After a brutal defeat, Tyler Blevins offered up a third-round putting $50K on the line for charity.

Accepting the offer, both teams hopped into game three. Looking for blood, Ninja sunk his teeth into MrBeast at the 7-minute 30 mark. Fifteen minutes later, Team Ninja would wipe the floor with MrBeast earning a team kill pushing their lead to 19 kills to MrBeast’s 9.

Five minutes after that, Team Ninja would march their way to victory, eliminating Mizkif, Voyboy, and MrBeast on their trek to victory.

While not on the same level as an official League of Legends championship, the charity stream peaked at just shy of 100K concurrent viewers. And with $200k donated to charity, the legendary event was a massive success.
