Jynxzi and StableRonaldo Follow Kai Cenat and iShowSpeed in Announcing a Minecraft Marathon

Khizar Mundia Published 12/08/2026

Kai Cenat and Darren “iShowSpeed” Watkins Jr.’s ongoing Minecraft marathon is the talk of the town, and now Nicholas “Jynxzi” Stewart and Rani “StableRonaldo” Netz are getting involved in the action by announcing their own event.

Gaming marathons have become a mainstay among streamers, with many gaming creators hosting such events frequently. StableRonaldo hosted one for Elden Ring, where he isolated himself inside a white room, away from the world. Jynxzi needs no introduction when it comes to gaming events, as he is famous for the tournaments he frequently hosts. Kai and Speed may be the most famous duo competing in a marathon right now, and it isn’t going well at all, with the duo struggling to beat the game. Jynxzi and StableRonaldo have decided to host a similar marathon, with tighter requirements.

Jynxzi and StableRonaldo announce Minecraft Hardcore marathon

StableRonaldo and Jynxzi were seen talking in a recent stream where the former stated that the two creators will do a Minecraft marathon exactly like Kai and Speed after they beat Chained Together. Jynxzi stated he and Ron will fly to Tarpon Springs, Florida, and their marathon won’t have a 10-day clause, meaning that the two streamers will have to defeat four Minecraft Hardcore bosses, including Ender Dragon, The Wither, Elder Guardian, and The Warden, in a single Hardcore run.

Kai and Speed have a clause where they can defeat the four bosses in separate runs if they are unable to defeat them all in a single run within 10 days. This rule makes Ron and Jynxzi’s marathon significantly harder, as it’s become clear that Kai and Speed are struggling in their current challenge. While Ron and Jynxzi are arguably more focused on gaming than Kai and Speed, who are involved in other activities, such as IRL streams and other events, it’s still a considerable task to defeat all the required bosses in a single run.

Kai and Speed’s ongoing marathon has displayed how a death can wipe out all the progress they made, and they have to start over from scratch. This is likely why the duo added the 10-day clause, so they don’t have to take a long time trying to defeat all four bosses in a single run. Jynxzi and Ron have done a Minecraft marathon previously, but it was less challenging, as the two were required to complete the game and not defeat four bosses. However, they still had to restart if they died, and it took them 78 attempts to finish the game and end the marathon. Ron has also done an Elden Ring marathon, where he was in a white room and had to finish the game. It took the streamer roughly 47 hours and close to 998 deaths to complete the marathon.

The pair’s 2026 challenge will be taking this to the next level, with the marathon offering a genuine gaming feat; full details will likely be released in the near future, but we know that it will be streamed on Twitch, where both have millions of followers.

Editor’s view: Jynxzi and StableRonaldo’s marathon is really Minecraft Hardcore

Jynxzi and StableRonaldo aren’t the only streamers who have completed Minecraft by killing the Ender Dragon in a single run. Speed and Kai completed a marathon with the same requirements in 2024, where they had to defeat just the Ender Dragon. However, Jynxzi and Ron have raised the stakes, as they don’t have any breathing room and will need to kill all four bosses in a single run, regardless of how long it takes them. Jynxzi even joked that they wouldn’t sell out.

It’s hard to guess whether Jynxzi and StableRonaldo will be successful, and if so, how long the two will have to grind to complete the marathon. However, one thing is certain: Jynxzi makes every game more popular by playing them, and it’s Minecraft’s turn. The streamer has also become the most-subscribed on Twitch once again, and recently hosted a Rainbow Six Siege tournament, so this will be a major event with perhaps more finesse than the ongoing Speed/Kai Cenat marathon.
