Mr Beast fans convinced he’s hosting a League of Legends tournament

Popular YouTuber Mr Beast has tweeted that he may be hosting a League of Legends tournament, sending fans into a frenzy.

As one of the most popular esports in the world, League of Legends makes sense as a match for one of the biggest YouTube stars in the world. And Mr Beast may be making that partnership

Mr Beast has always shown an interest in gaming and esports, particularly League of Legends. He has publicly voiced his desire to purchase a professional team to compete in one of the top-tier leagues, but he hasn’t managed to cross into the LoL scene beyond streaming his own gameplay.

His most recent tweet suggests that may be changing soon.

Mr Beast also called out streamer Ninja in a follow-up to his tweet, saying he “sucks.” This caused speculation that Ninja, who is known for playing many games – including League of Legends – could be involved in the tournament as well.

Already, many League of Legends personalities and even professional organizations have answered Mr Beast’s tweet, expressing interest in participating.

For instance, LEC team Excel hinted that they might be participating in the tournament as well, while LCS organizations like Cloud9 and FlyQuest seem excited about the possibility. Former LCS professional player Doublelift doesn’t appear to be a confirmed participant, but expressed interest in joining the tournament as well.
