These insane challenges were accomplished by Tyler1:

• Originally, Twitch streamer Tyler1 was a “one-trick pony” in LoL: He was good at LoL, but practically only played the hero Draven, an ADC.
• To prove that all the junglers he plays with are actually idiots who can’t handle the extremely easy role in the jungle, he decided to play the unfamiliar role at the highest rank “Challenger”. He managed to do so after 3000 games: An achievement that shows his enormous stubbornness.
• When he managed to do that, he brought all the roles in LoL to the Challenger rank: it took him 2 years and 6000 matches. Riot even gifted him with a necklace. Tyler1 is anyway the undisputed number 1 on Twitch to LoL.

Tyler1 wanted to be one of the 300 best in South Korea

What was the latest challenge?

In mid-April 2022, Tyler1 took it upon himself to leave for a “boot camp” in South Korea, the motherland of LoL. There he wanted to reach the Challenger rank, which only 300 people in the region even manage to do. But Tyler1 wanted to make it especially hard for himself and always sign up as a “filler”, so he doesn’t claim a role for himself, but plays what is needed at the moment. His Korea adventure was supposed to start at the end of April. Here Tyler1 was still in a good mood:

14 hours a day LoL makes even Superman just Clark Kent

Here’s how it went now: Barely 5 weeks after the start of his “Korea Bootcamp” Tyler1 is totally served (via youtube).

Tyler1 has played 427 hours of LoL over the last 30 days, more than 14 hours a day, without much of a break. He had about 35,000 people watching him, but it got steadily less during the month. Tyler1 now seems just glad that bootcamp is coming to an end. He’s totally served by Korea. In the chat the demand came up that he should stay longer in South Korea. But Tyler1 says:

Dude, what do the “stay longer” kids want from me? Guys, what you don’t realize is that I’m jumping up with fucking joy, I’m counting the minutes and seconds until I’m on a plane home.

According to Tyler1, he learned absolutely nothing in Korea, but is currently sabotaging everything he ever knew about LoL. He is getting worse and worse at MOBA. The trip to Korea was a “complete waste of time.” Actually a tough guy, but Korea was too much for him: How the worst troll on Twitch became the face of League of Legends

Bad reputation becomes Tyler1’s undoing

Why is that?

Korean SoloQ has a bad reputation: that’s what South Korean pros like Faker say. Apparently, when Koreans see a “celebrity,” some start purposefully playing crap to annoy and sabotage the pro. Faker prefers SoloQ in Europe. According to Tyler1 himself, he specifically has another bonus problem: when people play poorly, he flips out and flames them. He says he “tilts” then. However, Koreans perceive such a freak-out as an insult, remember the player’s name, and then sabotage him in the next match when they encounter him. According to Tyler1, this is apparently what happened to him:

Here’s how it went for Tyler1:

Tyler1 was able to climb relatively quickly in lower ranks and had reached the Master rank after 10 days and 200 games with a win rate of 60%, but then apparently reached his limits (via dotesports). Currently he is still on the master rank with a win rate of 53% (via op.gg). Even with his flagship champ Draven, he only has a win-rate of 52%. Even though things were better in the last matches before he went home, he experienced a losing streak of 9 games in a row just yesterday. Apparently, Korea manages even the toughest Tyler1. So the way to the Challenger in South Korea remains denied to him. Twitch streamer Thebausffs had more success in South Korea, but he has a very strange way of playing League of Legends: Riot changes LoL because a Twitch streamer uses a weird tactic where he keeps dying
