Frederik “NoWay4u” Hinteregger is the largest German Twitch streamer in League of Legends. He is currently on a special challenge that has now been extended. His goal: to reach the highest ranking in all 5 roles of the game in a relatively short time. Only a few legends can claim this title.
What kind of challenge is this? NoWay started his “Tyler1-Challenge” in February. The goal was to reach the Master rank in all 5 roles of the game – Toplaner, Midlaner, ADC, Support, and Jungler – by mid-April.
This is the third highest rank in LoL and is currently achieved only by the top 0.62% of players on the EUW server.
This challenge was named after the Twitch streamer Tyler1, who challenged himself even more. For he achieved Challenger, the highest rank, with 5 different accounts. However, he needed over 2 years and 6,000 ranked matches for that.
After NoWay reached his initial goal by April, he now wants to push further. His new goal is also Challenger, but not in two years, but by July 17.
Here you can watch a compilation of a game:
5 brand new accounts to Challenger as a trained Midlaner
How has the challenge been so far? The German streamer started in mid-February with 5 brand new accounts provided by Riot Games for the event. These accounts were directly at level 30, but started in ranked matches with a matchmaking rating of Silver 1, as it is typical for new accounts.
With all five accounts, NoWay almost effortlessly reached the Master rank – with impressive numbers:
- On his Jungler, he played 130 matches with a win rate of 62.3%
- On his Toplaner, he played 156 matches with a win rate of 61.5%
- On his Support, he played 133 matches with a win rate of 63.2%
- On his AD Carry, he played 146 matches with a win rate of 63.7%
Somewhat apart is his Midlaner, as that is the actual main role of the streamer. There, he played 135 matches with an astonishing win rate of 68.1%. He has already reached the Grandmaster rank and is among the top 0.29% in Europe.
Interestingly, he plays a different role every day of the week, such as Support Sunday or Midlane Wednesday.
NoWay himself says that he is having a lot of fun with the challenge and that it has rekindled his passion for LoL. He needs such challenges and events to still enjoy the game he streams almost daily on his Twitch channel.
What happens next? Initially, the 5 accounts were supposed to be deleted at the end of the challenge in April. But the streamer has negotiated an extension with Riot Games.
He wants to reach his new Challenger goal by the soft reset in summer – likely July – when the rankings will be reset midway through the season this year.
Why is the challenge so special? Most players in the Challenger area focus on one or two positions they are particularly strong in. From these positions, it is easier for them to control matches and win.
That a player plays variably in all positions is rather rare. One of the best-known and most flexible players is Swede Felix “MagiFelix” Boström, who became the first to achieve Challenger in all 5 positions simultaneously in 2020.
Then came the aforementioned Tyler1 in 2022.
NoWay remains incredibly calm and impresses many
Who is he anyway? NoWay4u, one of the largest LoL streamers overall. In the last 30 days, he ranks 3rd in the ranking of LoL streamers with the most watched hours. Only Tyler1 and Brazilian Baiano could surpass that (via Sullygnome).
The German streamer impresses many mainly with his calm demeanor. He remains almost always positive, does not give up on matches, and does not insult other players. During his challenge, he received a brief chat ban, but only because he mistyped. He actually wanted to write “big,” but hit the “n” as the first letter.
Moreover, he explains an incredible amount and answers dozens of questions from his community, which he also keeps an eye on during ranked matches.
He is thus the exact opposite of Tyler1, who mainly draws attention with his toxic attitude, even though he is said to be very friendly in real life, as NoWay himself has reported.
Only one thing made NoWay4u really angry: German Twitch streamer complains about betting mafia in LoL: “I can’t do anything about it.” .
