In League of Legends, ranked matchmaking has become indispensable. With 10 different ranks, players are shown how good they are and in which skill tier they play. A German Twitch streamer has now achieved the highest rank in 8 regions and wants to achieve even more.
Which LoL streamer is it? The former professional player Frederik “NoWay” Hinteregger already announced at the end of 2024 that he had set himself some high goals for the year 2025.
In addition to training for a muddy extreme obstacle course or his plan to defeat the professional team Los Ratones, there was another goal for the 32-year-old streamer. He wants to reach the highest rank in League of Legends in every region in the world.
What is the highest rank in LoL? The highest rank in League of Legends is called Challenger. Those who have this rank can count themselves among the best LoL players in the world. NoWay has already proven himself as a Challenger in 8 different regions. In his YouTube video of his latest ascent to the top-ranked player, he talked about which regions are next in line to be conquered by him.
In the video, you can see who NoWay actually is:
One of the toughest servers in the world is the new goal
Which region has one of the toughest servers? In China, there are over 25 servers due to the very high number of players. One of these servers is the so-called Super-Server or Ionia Server, based on the Ionia region within the LoL universe. Only the best players are allowed to prove their skills on this server.
What makes the Super-Server so special? To play on the Chinese server, a few prerequisites must be met. Your rank must not be below Diamond 2, and you must possess a Chinese ID, which is equivalent to our identity card.
Without this Chinese ID, you may play on the server, but you cannot participate in ranked matchmaking. To stay on the server, you must play at least 24 games of League of Legends per month and must not drop in rank, or you could be banned.
How does NoWay plan to reach the Challenger rank on the Super-Server? The playstyle on the Super-Server is said to be aggressive and mechanically very demanding. NoWay already contemplated in his ascent video which champions he wants to face the Chinese server with.
His thought revolved around a correspondingly aggressive champion pool, and he is likely to choose the Arcane favorite Heimerdinger or the swinging midlaner Akshan.
To become just as good as the 8-time Challenger NoWay, there is a simple trick. You just need to play League of Legends on a small screen and with the lowest graphics settings: Streamer explains why you should only play LoL on a small monitor and with the worst graphics
