Nicholas "Jynxzi" Stewart is now a team owner. The streamer announced Jynxzi Esports on November 6, 2026, and the org's first roster is the former FYR Strays Rainbow Six Siege squad.
For a creator-owned team, this one starts in an unusual position: it already has a direct seed into the playoff stage of the North American Last Chance Qualifier for Six Invitational 2027.
Who's On The Team
Rainbow Six Esports welcomed the org on X on November 7. The active lineup is Ethan "Franklin" Franklin, Ryan "Mingo" Hall, bootz, jayyguns and Loo, with Brandon "Chixtt" Bloom as the substitute, Gaming Trend reported. Among them, Mingo draws the biggest following — 570,000 Twitch followers, per Siege.gg.
That built-in audience is much of the point of a creator-led org. Jynxzi himself is one of the most-watched Rainbow Six streamers on Twitch and has been a fixture in the game's community for years.
Results Behind The Hype
The squad didn't arrive empty-handed. According to Siege.gg, the players took ELEMENT FIVE and then won consecutive North American Open Cups, collecting close to $25,000 across the three events in roughly three months.
Gaming Trend reports they went unbeaten through 2026 as FYR Strays, a run that included the NA Open Cup Palmetto Bay and the Open Cup Finals.
There is one open question: who actually plays when it matters. Mingo sat out the Open Cup Finals, with Chixtt stepping in, so the five for the biggest matches isn't settled yet.
Mingo competes on controller. Gaming Trend notes that if the team qualifies and he keeps his setup, he would be the first controller player to appear at a Six Invitational.
How They Reach Six Invitational 2027
Those results locked in a place in the playoff stage of the North American Last Chance Qualifier. Eight teams meet in a double-elimination bracket of best-of-three matches, and the winner books a ticket to Six Invitational 2027 in Brazil that February. It is North America's last route into the event.
Whether Jynxzi Esports will have a slot in the region's Tier 1 league for 2027 is still unclear, Siege.gg reported, which makes the qualifier the only confirmed path to the top level.
The same report floats the idea of team-branded in-game items through the Rainbow Six share programme if the org is accepted — though it frames that as a long way off.
