    IShowSpeed has become one of the most popular content creators in the world. The American has earned 41.6 million YouTube subscribers along with over 600 000 followers on his Twitch channel since 2016.

    During a stream earlier this week, Speed called fellow content creator Nicholas 'Jynxzi' Stewart to announce a tournament. The event would feature 100 content creators competing for the prize money.

    "Gigantic Fortnite tournament, 100 streamers, $100 000 prize pool," revealed Jynxzi during Speed's broadcast.

    "You all better stay tuned."

    The Fortnite tournament marks IShowSpeed's debut in esports event organising. He follows in the footsteps of British content creator Morgan 'AngryGinge' Burtwhistle, who competed in a streamer-focused Fortnite event.
