MrBeast and eFuse are teaming up with eight influencers and esports pros for an exclusive Fortnite Tournament called the Creator League. Here’s how to tune in.
Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson is YouTube’s single most-subscribed independent creator… but outside of his time working on big-budget videos, he’s also a big fan of esports.
Previously, MrBeast made mention of wanting to purchase a team in the LCS, and was even interested in entering the NACL. Now, he’s making a league of his own with several other high-profile influencers.
In partnership with eFuse, MrBeast and several other big creators are entering the competitive gaming scene with a massive Fortnite tournament. Here’s everything we know so far.
What is MrBeast’s Creator League?
Creator League is an influencer-led tournament series that will see a slew of popular creators captain individual competitive esports teams across a variety of top titles. These influencers will work with their communities to make big decisions that will influence the fate of their teams.

- Bella Poarch

How does the Creator League work?
Fans can purchase a community pass for their team of choice, which gives them the opportunity to enter an open qualifier tournament to earn a chance to play in the League alongside their favorite creators.
Passholders will also get the chance to vote on “crucial decisions” that will change the course of the League, such as deliberating on their team’s strategies and who gets drafted. On top of this, passholders will also get the chance to win some exclusive giveaways, merch drops, and even get access to parties, as well as AMA’s with the creators and access to a private Discord server.
Passes cost a total of $19.99 and will allow fans to help their creators assemble their dream team roster on top of all the goodies listed above.
