In what might be the most painful gaming marathon of 2025, xQc endured a brutal 100-game losing streak against Jynxzi in Clash Royale, with $10,000 on the line. The high-stakes challenge, which took approximately six hours to complete, ended with xQc abruptly disconnecting from their call mid-sentence.
The two streamers had agreed to a “first to 100 wins” format in the popular mobile strategy card game. What began as an exciting head-to-head quickly turned into a one-sided demolition, with Jynxzi dominating every single match despite xQc’s desperate attempts to turn the tide.
Throughout the marathon session, xQc tried switching up his strategy and deck builds multiple times. Despite using maxed-out decks that should have given both players an even playing field, the skill gap was painfully apparent. Jynxzi, who has significant experience with Clash Royale, consistently outplayed the former Overwatch pro.
“I like to think my mental is pretty good, but 100 straight losses over six hours? I think there might actually be something wrong with you if you’re not tilted at that point,” one viewer commented after watching the stream.
What makes the event stand out is xQc’s persistence. Even though he was frustrated and losing over and over again, he stayed in the call and kept playing all the way to the last game. Only after the 100th loss, as Jynxzi began speaking, did xQc finally reach his breaking point and leave the voice chat without warning.
High-stakes challenges between content creators are becoming more and more common, pulling in huge audiences. This $10,000 Clash Royale marathon stands out for how one-sided it was and for just how much mental endurance it took to get through all 100 games.
