Right now everyone's attention is on the Blast R6 Osaka Major where teams are battling it out for a spot on the main stage, but that attention shifted over the weekend with the official announcement of Jynxzi Esports.
Earlier this year Jynxzi, the largest Rainbow 6 Siege content creator, expressed interest in acquiring a team, even reaching out to ex-coach and analyst Fett about what an acquisition would realistically cost. His ambitions have finally come to fruition with his acquisition of FYR Strays, a T2 Siege esports team based in North America.
The team now operates as Jynxzi Esports, however it is still comprised of the same players; Bootz, Franklin, Jayyguns, Mingo, Loo, and Chixtt. As FYR Strays, the team has been undefeated in the 2026 season, coming out on top in both NA Open Cup Palmetto Bay and NA Open Cup Finals. As Jynxzi Esports, they now look forward to the Six Invitational Last Chance Qualifier, which will give them the final opportunity to compete in Six Invitational '27.
Who is actually on the active roster at Six Invitational LCC is a real question, especially after Mingo's noticeable absence at NA Open Cup Finals, where Chixtt took his place. If Jynxzi Esports does win at the LCC and Mingo is on that active roster, he will be the first controller player to compete at Six Invitational on controller, assuming he isn't required to switch to mouse and keyboard.
