Super Bowl 53 is over, with the New England Patriots beating the Los Angeles Rams 13 to 3. The show has garnered a mixed reaction online in regards to the pace of the game, the quality of the half-time performances, and the entertainment value of the commercials. Some fans online have also expressed disappointment that there wasn't a PewDiePie ad shown during Super Bowl 53 as was teased, but while there was no official commercial for the popular YouTuber, he was still represented at the big game in some capacity.

After teasing PewDiePie's presence at Super Bowl 52 on social media, YouTuber MrBeast and his companions delivered by buying seats behind the field goal, with shirts that said "SUB 2 PEW DIE PIE." A lack of field goal attempts kept the group from being featured on TV as much as they wanted, but they were still featured on camera multiple times during the game.

Additionally, the official ESPN Twitter account tweeted out an image with the group prominently displayed.

For those who may be wondering what this stunt is about, it's just the latest attack in the ongoing battle between PewDiePie and Indian YouTube channel T-Series. PewDiePie and T-Series have been neck-to-neck in a war to be the most-subscribed channel on YouTube, and lately the gap has been closing, with T-Series catching up to PewDiePie.

At the time of this writing, T-Series has 83.6 million subscribers on YouTube, and PewDiePie has 83.8 million. In a desperate bid to widen the subscriber gap between the two channels, PewDiePie streamed himself playing Epic Games' Fortnite earlier today, and the hope is between that and the Super Bowl 53 stunt, he will be able to hang on to his position as most-subscribed YouTube channel for a bit longer.

However, it's worth pointing out that T-Series is gaining over 100,000 subscribers daily, a feat that has been attributed to the fact that India is the second-most populous country in the world with 1.3 billion citizens. Considering this, T-Series surpassing PewDiePie's subscriber count seems like just a matter of time, but it will be interesting to see how long PewDiePie can hold out and if he is able to pull an upset and permanently hang on to his top spot.
