MrBeast is known for viral videos on YouTube. He often has various participants compete against each other. Now, participants are revealing how poorly things went behind the scenes at the Minecraft event.
What kind of video was it? In a new video on MrBeast’s gaming channel on YouTube, 500 “girls” compete against 500 “boys” in a Minecraft competition. The winning team receives $50,000 (approximately €42,500), which will be split among the participants.
The team that has the last remaining players wins. The video has now amassed over 12 million views and went viral. In the video, the boys’ team wins overwhelmingly, but a participant is now clarifying that the competition was not fair at all.

“Fake-girls” sabotage the event
What does the participant explain? Participant Shekai reports in a post on X.com about her participation in the event. She explains that the initial plan to find 500 female streamers was not achieved, and the additional spots were filled with “normal” players.
As a result, she estimates that 30% of the players were actually guys who deliberately sabotaged the girls’ team to give the boys’ team an advantage. However, the term “fake-girls” does not refer to transgender women, but rather to men who used tools to fake being women in order to sabotage the team.
According to her, the guys used artificial intelligence to convince MrBeast’s team that they were female. Once they were in the girls’ team, they allegedly set traps and strongly sabotaged the team, causing many of the women to die. A similar account comes from another participant.
What does the other participant say? Gamer Zavvy also expressed herself in a lengthy post on X.com regarding the event. She also sharply criticizes the event and confirms the participation of fake-girls in the event.
Additionally, besides the traps that sabotaged the event in a playful manner, swastikas and sexist messages were reportedly written and constructed, as she shows on X.com.
She further explains that the event was marketed as a civilization event and not a PvP event, and many of the girls from the girls’ team were playing Minecraft for the first time. Compared to the boys’ team, the balance was therefore not given, especially since many Minecraft professionals were in that team.
A Minecraft professional was even honored in the Minecraft movie:
In the end, the boys’ team won the event and thus also the $50,000 prize money. The video description of MrBeast’s video on YouTube explains his view on the matter:
Thousands of players wanted to participate in our first major, multi-day Civilization competition, which was based on the principle of “first come, first served”. We accepted the first 500 boys and 500 girls who registered chronologically on the Minecraft server when it went live. If a player violated the agreed-upon rules in any way or provided false information in their registration to sabotage other players, they were banned after an investigation by the staff who monitored around the clock, their actions were reversed, the players they killed were resurrected, and they were replaced by the next boy or girl who had registered for the server earlier in chronological order.
For gamer Zavvy, this statement is too vague and insufficient for the event where the women clearly hardly had a real chance. For her, MrBeast’s team should have performed better. MrBeast himself was reportedly not present, according to the participants. How his life is going, he reveals here: He became a billionaire through YouTube, now he says: Nobody wants the life he leads
