A few days back, the two biggest names in the community, MrBeast, and Ninja had a League of Legends showdown. To everyone’s surprise, MrBeast claimed the ‘W’ against the former eSports player, Ninja. Owing to Ninja’s popularity and skills, several fans were underestimating Jimmy’s gaming expertise; however, MrBeast’s team emerged as the victors and shut down those assumptions.

Jimmy dominated the event with a 2-0 win against Tyler and donated the grand prize of $200,000 to charity. Before the event, Jimmy’s close friend and popular Minecraft creator Technoblade passed away battling cancer. Interestingly, a massive amount of $150,000 was donated to the Technoblade cancer research Sarcoma Foundation. Let’s hear about this.

Technoblade had over 14 million subscribers on his main channel and was one of the most popular Minecraft content creators in the community. Since Jimmy has an immense love for Minecraft himself, he collaborated on several videos with Techno.

Naturally, the passing away news of a dear friend must have impacted the YouTube Star; however, he must have not liked to talk about his emotion online but rather showcased it with his actions. After winning the League of Legends Tournament against Ninja, Jimmy donated $150,000 to the Technoblade cancer research Sarcoma Foundation.

Since Jimmy is mostly known for his charity works in the community, donating $150,000 to charity is the most proper MrBeast’s style to pay tribute to his late friend.
