Jynxzi Esports: A new organization with promising players
The team, Jynxzi Esports, is not entirely new to the Rainbow Six Siege professional scene.
Streamer Jynxzi acquired the existing roster of FYR Strays. All the players remain active under the new brand, carrying over their competitive momentum for future achievements.
The full active roster of Jynxzi Esports consists of the following players.
- Ethan “Franklin” Franklin
- Ryan “Mingo” Hall

- Brandon “Chixtt” Bloom (substitute)
Right before signing with Jynxzi Esports, the players celebrated substantial achievements at their level of competition.
As FYR Strays, they won the NA Open Cup in Palmetto Bay and the NA Open Cup Finals in Salt Lake City. While these are lower-tier tournaments, they represent a clear path to top-tier Rainbow Six esports.
Competitive plans of Jynxzi Esports in the R6 scene
The current momentum of Jynxzi Esports can bring the organization higher within the Rainbow Six Siege competition even this season.
The team has qualified directly for the Six Invitational (SI) 2027 North American Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) playoff phase. It’s an opportunity for the new organization to break into the elite tier of R6 Esports. Can we see Jynxzi Esports playing at the next SI in February 2027?
Jynxzi Esports will also compete at the Challenger Finals tournament. Victory here will take them straight into the tier 1 level of the BLAST R6 North America League for the 2027 season. It’s a chance for Jynxzi Esports to prove themselves against regional and international powerhouses like M80, DarkZero, and others.
