AyeZee announces Championship 2 for 25 October

The week's headline for AyeZee was not a slot session. On 16 October he announced the second AyeZee Championship, a $25,000 tournament for the ROTK version of H1Z1, set for 25 October at 6pm CEST and broadcast on his Twitch channel. The graphic he posted lists 150 selected players drawn from the EU and NA leaderboards, plus veteran players and streamers.

It follows the first Championship, which ran on 11 October. The ROTK account described that night as its first tournament with a cash prize, also $25,000, and AyeZee thanked the ROTK team and viewers afterwards, calling it an amazing event. He had said on 24 September that he intended to hold the event monthly for as long as the game is thriving, so a second date two weeks later comes sooner than that pledge.

Selection works differently this time. AyeZee wrote that Championship 2 is invite only, based on community standing across several measures such as activity in Discords and streams, streaming and grinding, and that there is no leaderboard selection. For the first event he had used the top 75 of the EU solo leaderboard.

How the $25,000 is split across ten places and five games

The prize graphic shows two layers of money. The top ten finishers share the main ladder: $8,000 for first, $4,000 for second, $2,500 for third, $1,750 for fourth and $1,500 for fifth. Sixth and seventh get $1,000 each, eighth gets $750 and ninth and tenth get $500 each. The top ten also receive an AR skin, shown only as a question mark.

On top of that, each of the five games carries its own cash prize: $250, $300, $500, $1,000 and $1,500 for games one to five. AyeZee wrote that the aim is to give players a reason to chase every game, with the money rising as the tournament goes on.

Scoring changes late in the night. Games one to three count at 1x, game four at 1.25x and game five at 1.5x, which he said should give trailing players a better chance of a comeback. We read the graphic only and could not check how prizes are paid or funded.

Player lists and casters named over the weekend

AyeZee released the field in batches. On 18 October he posted the first 50 players for the upcoming championship, and on 19 October a second graphic headed Player List (50 to 100) followed, captioned "The next 50 players of the Championship!" That covers 100 of the 150 places, so a final batch is still to come as of 20 October.

On 19 October he also revealed the commentary team, saying the event is brought to viewers by @its_MP_ and @MountainFPS. Mountain posted that he was happy to be casting alongside his Finnish friend.

The announcement graphic of 16 October was shown 39,906 times on X and the 18 October player list 28,747 times, according to the counters when we opened them. Those are X's own impression figures, not a measure of viewers for the stream itself.

Quiet on Kick while the focus is on Twitch

AyeZee's Kick channel, the reason he sits in our streamer directory, was not live on 20 October and Kick's public listing showed no videos or clips from the week. It had 182,405 followers as of 20 October 2026, while his X account stood at 87,371 followers the same day.

That does not mean he stopped broadcasting: his own posts show the championship nights are streamed on Twitch, and the 16 October graphic points viewers there. This is a game tournament rather than a casino stream, and we found no slot sessions, casino switches or sponsor changes reported for the week.

One reminder that matters for readers: his X bio claims over $10,000,000 in cash given away, and his Kick bio says over $8 million. Both are his own claims, which we have not checked. Streamer giveaways, like casino streaming in general, are entertainment, often from sponsored or house money. Clips show wins and not the losses in between, and many casinos in this scene are not licensed in the UK. Gambling is for over 18s only; free, confidential help is at BeGambleAware.

What to watch next

The date to note is Sunday 25 October, 6pm CEST, when Championship 2 starts on his Twitch channel. The remaining 50 invited players should be named before then. The first event shows the pattern: the line-up of 75 came out on 9 October and the show ran on 11 October.

Also worth watching is whether he keeps the monthly promise from his 24 September announcement, and whether his Kick channel returns to regular slots streams afterwards. We will report either if it is public.
