If you don’t know who Mr. Beast is yet, you’re missing out. He has changed people’s life’s with giving away money, and he has officially changed YouTube. Although one of these days he could pick me for one of his challenges. You know how everyone loves the thrill of playing online video games? Especially games like Fornite and Call of Duty? What if you could replicate the pace and feel of playing one in real life? Mr. Beast, had to find out for himself. And he also brought along with 36 of his closest YouTube friends and put $200,000 on the line.

Some of the most prominent YouTube influencers were invited to the live 2019 Battle Royale event including Preston, Lachlan, Muselk, Typical Gamer and Caspar Lee. The combined audience of all the Battle Royale participants top 1 billion views per month.

The invite-only competition took place on the fields of the Hollywood Sports Park, billed as the No. 1 paintball and airsoft park in the world.

The official video of MrBeast’s 2019 Apex Legends Battle Royale event was released on March 12.

In the first 12 hours, the video was viewed almost 7 million times. Now? It has been viewed 14,632,694 views, 835,000 likes, 117,343 comments.

MrBeast wasn’t alone on this project as he teamed up with Night Media – a Dallas-based talent management and digital marketing agency to produce the 2019 Apex Legends Battle Royale, a live-action replication of the newly-released title. But, like everything he does MrBeast, came up with the idea.

The YouTubers formed 12 teams of three.

There were two games played, with the trio of Jaiden Animations, AnthonyPadilla and TheOdd1sOut winning game one and Typical Gamer, Preston and UnspeakableGaming winning game two. Each three-man team won a $100,000 grand prize.

Apex Legends is a free-to-play video game where up to 60+ other gaming competitors are dropped onto a grid and fight one another to the last man standing. The free-to-play game is currently the hottest on the market, rivaling Fortnite with over 25 million downloads in the first week of its release last month.

“As a YouTuber, I’ve talked with so many great creators on the platform but getting together in person is challenging due to our dispersed locations,” MrBeast explained.

“This is how the Battle Royale idea started – a brainstorming session on a way to interact in person with some of the platform’s greats. Additionally, my subscribers receive an awesome video, thus allowing them to be part of the experience also. I am extremely grateful to Apex Legends for funding the award money and sponsoring the video. As our subscribers know, I am passionate about giving away money. Also, special thanks to Reed Duchscher, my team and the Night Media team for pulling this off in under three weeks.”

“MrBeast was the Battle Royale creator and organizer, and we were able to secure partnership with Apex Legends,” stated Duchscher, president of Night Media. “It’s amazing that in the span of three weeks, this idea went from concept to final product. It shows just how nimble Apex was in taking advantage of this opportunity. With the combined audience of the YouTube talent who competed against one another, this Battle Royale viral promotion for Apex Legends should be the YouTube video of the year.”
