Soon, he matched up with a player named Joshy. MrBeast played with Joshy alongside his friends Chandler and Landon.

Once the match started, Landon hilariously became the discouraging teammate, but played to his abilities. Landon was soon eliminated, leaving 3 players from their squad in the match.

Joshie continued racking up kills alongside MrBeast, but soon things turned around for the player. MrBeast and Landon tried to make it even harder for Joshy to win. They break down his builds and even decide not to shoot anymore midway.

Later, Joshy decides to go solo in his effort to win the grand prize. In a strange turn of events, Chandler gets knocked out and is eliminated by Joshy after MrBeast agrees to give an extra $100 if Joshy throws Chandler’s character into the storm.
