What started as an ambitious marathon gaming session has turned into a chaotic emotional rollercoaster for Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed. The two popular streamers have been tackling Minecraft in hardcore mode, where even a single mistake can mean starting over from scratch. But after 26 grueling hours and 15 failed attempts, the pressure has pushed them to the brink—so much so that they had to bring in a therapist for motivation.
The collaboration between Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed was highly anticipated, having been teased back in April when Kai revealed that the duo would be embarking on a marathon stream in New York. Their goal? To defeat Minecraft’s final boss, the Ender Dragon, in hardcore mode—a challenge that’s been pushing their limits since the very beginning.

From the outset, the stream has been filled with frustration, exhaustion, and a constant barrage of restarts, especially after Kai’s untimely death to a Blaze fireball. With each failure forcing them to begin again from square one, the two streamers have hit breaking points multiple times, particularly after their 15th restart. This latest setback saw IShowSpeed in tears, deeply frustrated with how things were progressing. Tensions exploded as Speed openly questioned how Kai “f***ed this up,” and the two began clashing over the game’s brutal difficulty.
To try and salvage the stream—and perhaps their sanity—the duo brought in a therapist to mediate their growing frustrations. Hoping to provide some emotional support and motivation, the therapist sat by the two streamers, attempting to help them find common ground. However, it wasn’t long before the situation spiraled even further. Kai and Speed quickly turned their frustrations on each other, shouting and pointing fingers over who was responsible for their repeated failures.
Kai was particularly vocal, claiming that he hadn’t even had time to shower and was running on only three hours of sleep. “I had three hours of fing sleep, because of you!” he yelled at Speed, expressing his exhaustion and irritation. Speed, in response, reminded Kai that they were in this together, both suffering through the highs and lows of the stream. “That’s why when I see some fed sh** like that, I get fing mad, ’cause you fing died over some f*ing bullsh,” Speed fired back.

The back-and-forth continued to escalate, with Kai eventually reaching his limit. Arms crossed, he leaned back and declared that he was “done,” even threatening to “flip this whole sh**” in a fit of frustration. Throughout the heated exchange, the therapist—who had been brought in to calm the situation—stood awkwardly in the background, unsure how to intervene as the two streamers shouted over one another.
Viewers found the entire ordeal both amusing and relatable, with some jokingly likening the dynamic between Kai and Speed to that of a couple on the verge of divorce. “They like a married couple on [their] last straw seeking [a] divorce,” one viewer wrote. Others commented that not even a therapist could save the streamers from themselves, with many doubting whether the duo would even make it to the Ender Dragon. “Even a therapist couldn’t help them from themselves,” another viewer quipped.
As the stream dragged on, it became clear that the pressure of hardcore Minecraft had taken its toll on both Kai and IShowSpeed. While their intentions were to see the marathon through to the end, viewers began to wonder if they would quit before ever reaching their goal. Despite their constant bickering, there’s an undeniable sense of camaraderie between the two, as they push through their challenges together—even if it means bringing a therapist along for the ride.
In the end, whether or not they manage to defeat the Ender Dragon, the stream has provided endless entertainment for their fans, and the drama surrounding their chaotic journey has only made it all the more compelling.
