Read moreDetailsClimbing through the Twitch subscriber charts can take months, often years for entertainers looking to forge a name in the streaming community. In the case of Rainbow Six Siege streamer ‘Jynxzi’, their consistent grinding within the competitive Ubisoft shooter appears to have paid off immensely, as the streamer’s Twitch efforts overthrow the likes of huge names that dominate the platform. According to the Twitch subscriber counter tool, Twitch Tracker, Rainbow Six Siege content creator Jynxzi has become the most subscribed channel across the platform. That means Jynxzi has successfully overtaken streaming alums such as Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel, Kai Cenat, Hasan ‘Hasanabi’ Piker, and Alexandre ‘Gaules’ Chiqueta. Presently, Jynxzi has 78,053 subscribers and counting. The streamer’s rise to the top comes after Kai Cenat’s ban from the platform, opening up the opportunity for Jynxzi to claim the Twitch throne. Jynxzi hasn’t hesitated to show his appreciation and love for new and returning viewers, taking to social media to display their excitement in a comedic reaction. Aside from Jynxzi’s impressive subscriber count, his Twitch channel also reached one million followers. Jynxzi’s primary focus is on the Ubisoft multiplayer shooter Rainbow Six Siege, in which the streamer has nearly 7,000 total hours of streaming

Kai Cenat recently won Streamer of the Year at the Streamer Awards 2023 after the 21-year-old experienced incredible growth on Twitch in the past year and became the most-subscribed content creator on the platform. Cenat even received a pair of purple Nikes from Twitch in honor of his new status, and though the gift seemed to be somewhat of a letdown to the streamer, the shoes were etched with the words “King of Twitch.” However, the Bronx native’s status as a top earner did not make him immune to the ban hammer, and Kai Cenat found himself unexpectedly and temporarily booted from the platform on April 18. Often, banned content creators are uncertain why they’ve been expelled from a platform or, if they know, they don’t always share all the details with their audience. However, Dexerto has learned that Kai Cenat was banned from Twitch for “repeated explicit simulated activity in GTA.” The unnamed sources also wanted
