“Yeah, he definitely will. Come on, I have been retired for like two years now. I can’t wait for it to be over. His fans infiltrating my comments. I guess I am getting the taste of my own medicine. That’s alright, he definitely deserves it,” 

Probably the biggest reason why PewDiePie is no longer interested in having a competition anymore is due to him being inactive for a long time now. It becomes very well clear from his own words in the video. The good thing is that he’s very delighted for the king of viral videos and wants to see him getting more accomplishments.
