Late yesterday, Mr. Beast announced he was hosting a Rock, Paper, and Scissors tournament on YouTube where the winner would get to choose a charity to receive $250,000. This is just the latest for Mr. Beast's YouTube channel, where he has tipped a Pizza delivery man with a house and more in the past.
The YouTube tournament was composed of several streamers and internet celebrities like Ninja, Pokimane, Tfue, and more. Notably, it was also accepting donations to help with COVID-19 relief, where Google was matching every $1 donation with $2. Several streamers also donated $1,000 upon loss, per round, and even Ninja promised to donate $10,000 for every round he played in.
The final four consisted of Casey Neistat, Matt Stonie, Nadeshot (who beat Ninja), and Preston. Ultimately, the winner ended up being Nadeshot. His charity of choice is the CDC Foundation, an independent nonprofit designed to provide support for those in need due to the coronavirus.
This YouTube tournament has caused Rock, Paper, and Scissors to trend on Twitter and has raised a ton of money for COVID-19 relief and more. At the end of the day, it was a good bit of fun for a good cause.
