Jynxzi Esports Launch With Former FYR Strays R6 Roster
Streamer Nicholas "Jynxzi" Stewart has launched his own esports organisation, Jynxzi Esports, built around the former FYR Strays Rainbow Six Siege roster.
The announcement came on November 6, 2026 and moves one of the game's biggest content creators into team ownership.
The lineup arrives with a head start in the esports betting era of creator-owned teams: a direct seed into the North American Last Chance Qualifier playoffs for Six Invitational 2027.
The Roster
The official Rainbow Six Esports account welcomed Jynxzi in a post on X on November 7. The active players are Ethan "Franklin" Franklin, Ryan "Mingo" Hall, bootz, jayyguns and Loo, with Brandon "Chixtt" Bloom as a substitute, according to Gaming Trend. Siege.gg described Mingo as the most followed of the group, with 570,000 followers on Twitch.
Each of the players already has an audience of their own, which is part of the appeal for a creator-led organisation. Jynxzi is among the most popular Rainbow Six streamers on Twitch and has been closely linked to the game's community for years.
A Strong Tier 2 Record
The squad arrives with results. Siege.gg reports that the players won ELEMENT FIVE and then won back-to-back North American Open Cups, earning almost $25,000 across the three events in about three months.
Gaming Trend says they were unbeaten in 2026 as FYR Strays, including at the NA Open Cup Palmetto Bay and the Open Cup Finals.
One caveat is the line-up that will take the stage. Gaming Trend notes that Mingo was absent from the Open Cup Finals, where Chixtt played in his place, so it is not yet clear who will be in the five for the biggest matches.
Mingo plays on controller, and the outlet points out that he would be the first controller player at a Six Invitational if the team qualified and he were allowed to keep his setup.
The Route To Six Invitational 2027
The results earned Jynxzi Esports a direct place in the playoff stage of the North American Last Chance Qualifier. Eight teams will play best-of-three matches in a double-elimination bracket, and the winner earns a place at Six Invitational 2027 in Brazil in February 2027. That is the final chance for a North American team to reach the event.
Siege.gg points out that it is not yet known whether Jynxzi Esports will hold a spot in the region's Tier 1 league for the 2027 season, so the qualifier is the only confirmed path to the game's top stage.
The same piece raises the possibility of team-branded in-game items through the Rainbow Six share programme if the team is accepted, but describes that as a distant prospect.
