The King of YouTube and the King of Twitch will be teaming up in a Fortnite tournament which will take place later this week.
Taking part in the Friday Fortnite event, PewDiePie and Ninja will be taking on Ceeday and NoahsNoah in what’s going to be the most iconic event since KSI and Logan Paul took to the boxing ring.
Other big-hitters in the even include MrBeast and ExilityTM who’ll be taking on RiceGum and FaZe Jarvis.
Check out the full lineup of contestants right here.
Responding to Keemstar’s tweet about the event, the notoriously rich MrBeast replied: “I’ll give you my bank account if I can play them first round next week.”
I think that’s a deal worth taking…
The forging of this incredibly unlikely duo is likely to be one of the biggest – or at least most-watched – matches in Fortnite‘s history, and could well be the biggest in the history of esports.
“Ninja will bring the gamer moments, and pewdiepie will bring the “gamer” moments,” replied one Twitter user.
Another responded: “THIS IS GONNA BE SO SICK!!”
