Twitch streamer Kylie “Sketch,” also known as “TheSketchReal,” has stated that he is “not touching” Clash Royale, unless Supercell acknowledges Nicholas “Jynxzi’s” impact on the game’s rise in popularity. For context, on February 10, 2026, Supercell CEO and co-founder Ilkka Paananen published a blog post in which he described 2025 as Clash Royale’s “historic year.”
According to Paananen, the real-time strategy mobile game saw 500% increase in new players, and “every major measure of playtime and engagement grew significantly.” The Finnish personality attributed these positive growth metrics to the Supercell team members’ “relentless focus on making things better for players.”
Sketch took to X on the same day (February 10, 2026) to express his dissatisfaction with Supercell for not recognizing Jynxzi’s role in making Clash Royale popular in 2025.
Claiming that he was “done letting” Jynxzi “be humble,” Sketch wrote:
“Not touching @ClashRoyale again until @supercell acknowledges Jynxzi’s impact. Disgusting to act as if a dev changed a game that’s been the same for years. @jynxzi I’m done letting you be humble. From Clash, RL & R6 YOU revived those games. The only creator to do so AND include the community of those games. While also bringing in even more creators‼️ You change lives and deserve RECOGNITION and COMPENSATION. NUMBERS DONT LIE‼️‼️‼️ THE JYNXZI EFFECT IS REAL, PAY THAT MAN 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ @supercell”
MrBeast, Lacy, and more streamers react, as Jynxzi says Supercell’s recent statement about Clash Royale’s popularity is “probably the biggest spit in the face he has ever seen”
On February 10, 2026, Jynxzi shared a screenshot of Ilkka Paananen’s blog post from the same day, where Supercell CEO described 2025 as “a historic year” for Clash Royale.
Jynxzi claimed the game developer’s comments were “probably the biggest spit in the face he had ever seen,” and posted:
Jimmy “MrBeast” responded, saying that he started playing Clash Royale again “only because” of Jynxzi:
“I only started playing again because of you” MrBeast wrote.
Several prominent Twitch streamers, including Nick “Lacy,” Din “Agent 00,” and Jack “CouRage,” commented on the 24-year-old’s social media post:
“there is a serious problem with gaming companies not recognizing us creators when we are a pivotal piece in reviving the games” Lacy wrote.
“Ngl I thought they gave you equity from how hard you were pushing it 😭😭 they owe you some millions” Agent 00 wrote.
“I only watched/engaged with Clash Royale content because of you. It was honestly the most interested I’ve ever been with the game in its life cycle.” CouRage wrote.
Supercell has not addressed the backlash from streamers and content creators, as of this writing.
