Jynxzi is taking his League of Legends arc to the next level. The Twitch star has announced a 40-creator League of Legends tournament, pulling one of streaming’s biggest names into Riot’s MOBA in a serious way for the first time.
The event is built as a creator spectacle rather than a pro showcase. Expect a wide mix of skill levels across the 40-player field, from total beginners to seasoned League of Legends veterans, with a format that points toward eight teams of five.
The headline rule is the one everyone’s focused on: any Challenger-ranked players are restricted to non-damage support champions. That means no carrying lobbies on Yasuo mid or Lee Sin jungle. Enchanters and utility picks only.
Challenger is the top public rank in League of Legends, and even one elite player on a roster can decide a match. By forcing them onto champions like Soraka, Janna, or Lulu, Jynxzi is trying to keep the spotlight on the broader cast and stop the tournament from turning into a 1v9 highlight reel.
There’s also reported balancing around higher-ranked but non-Challenger players, with Diamond placements likely spread across teams to keep rosters even. The full ruleset, including how strictly “non-damage support” will be enforced, hasn’t been fully detailed yet. Picks like Pyke, Blitzcrank, or mage supports could end up being a gray area worth watching.
Why support-only doesn’t always work
Anyone who’s played League of Legends knows support is far from harmless. Vision control, roams, shotcalling, and teamfight engages can swing entire games, and a Challenger player on Rakan or Thresh is still going to look terrifying next to a Silver mid laner. That’s likely why Jynxzi pushed the rule further into “non-damage” territory rather than just locking the role.
For Jynxzi, this is the clearest sign yet that League of Legends isn’t a passing phase. He’s been streaming the game heavily, getting coached on stream, and reacting to the genre’s chaos with the same energy that built his Rainbow Six Siege following. A 40-creator event lines up with his Rocket League tournament, which pulled in over 100,000 concurrent viewers.
