Streamer Jynxzi launches own R6 org, signs former FYR Strays roster

Nicholas "Jynxzi" Stewart confirmed the launch of his own esports organisation, Jynxzi Esports, in a tweet tagging five Rainbow Six Siege players, according to Esports.gg News.

The official R6 Esports account backed the announcement with its own welcome graphic, confirming the new organisation's entry into the competitive scene, Esports.gg News reported.

Rather than building a roster from scratch, Jynxzi acquired the existing FYR Strays lineup intact. The players carry over under the new banner without a change in personnel.

The active roster now competing as Jynxzi Esports comprises Ethan "Franklin" Franklin, Ryan "Mingo" Hall, bootz and jayyguns Loo, with Brandon "Chixtt" Bloom listed as substitute, per Esports.gg News.

Before the rebrand, the same group won the NA Open Cup in Palmetto Bay and the NA Open Cup Finals in Salt Lake City as FYR Strays. Esports.gg News notes these are lower-tier tournaments, but they mark a credible route towards Rainbow Six Siege's top flight.

That form has already secured the squad a direct spot in the Six Invitational 2027 North American Last Chance Qualifier playoff phase, giving the newly formed organisation an immediate shot at breaking into the elite tier of R6 esports.

Jynxzi Esports is also set to compete at the Challenger Finals. A win there would send the team straight into the tier 1 BLAST R6 North America League for the 2027 season, putting them in contention against established names such as M80 and DarkZero.

The organisation's reveal came during the Osaka Major in Japan, one of the higher-profile events on the Rainbow Six calendar, according to Esports.gg News.

Jynxzi's own competitive footprint stretches well beyond Rainbow Six Siege. He built a viral following during a Clash Royale phase credited with boosting that game's active player base, and he has run his own Rocket League tournament on Twitch alongside events for Fortnite and League of Legends.

Rainbow Six Siege remains his primary competitive focus, both as a streamer and as a vocal advocate for the title. Ubisoft has formally recognised his impact with in-game collaboration events and dedicated cosmetic bundles tied to his name.

With the Six Invitational set for February 2027, Jynxzi Esports now carries the pressure of turning open-circuit silverware into a result against the region's established rosters when the LCQ playoffs arrive.
