MrBeast challenged T-Series
T-Series currently holds the top spot on YouTube, having overtaken PewDiePie in 2019. The fierce online competition began in October 2018 and lasted until the following year.
Despite the competition, PewDiePie held the position of the most subscribed independent creator until MrBeast surpassed him. Despite all of this conflict with MrBeast overtaking PewDiePie, the two YouTube stars are still friendly and even got together in Japan to allegedly shoot a video together.
On August 5, MrBeast tweeted in response to this analogy that he would go to war with the other station to exact retribution "for PewDiePie." In less than 10 hours, MrBeast tweeted, "I'm doing this for Pewdiepie," garnered millions of views and several comments.
So it remains to be seen if MrBeast would be able to survive this competition. However, supporters of MrBeast have already came together in the hopes that he will defeat his longstanding rival.
