The Twitch streamer Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp is known as ADC in League of Legends and has made a name for himself there. At the moment, however, he is trying out as a jungler and is experiencing ultimate disgrace.
Tyler1 is the biggest LoL streamer on Twitch and is known for his outbursts. At the moment, he is re-learning the “Jungle” position, which has some pitfalls. His adventures as a jungler are so entertaining that he is one of the most successful Twitch streamers of the past days.
This is the scene: His team is going for the dragon, and you can see that the enemy team is lurking nearby to “steal” the dragon. Because it doesn’t matter which team deals the most damage to the dragon in LoL, the bonus is awarded only to the team that delivers the finishing blow.
As a jungler, it is Tyler1’s job to “secure” the dragon for his team: With the ability Smite, he must deal the finishing blow to the dragon in this situation.
Timing is important; as soon as the dragon drops to a certain low health percentage, Tyler1 must use Smite. But he fails to do so; the enemy Caitlyn manages to snatch the Ocean Drake with a perfectly timed shot.
“New headset please”
This is how Tyler1 reacts: The streamer is beside himself and has one of his tantrums that made him a star on Twitch. He screams like he’s on fire and wakes up his sleeping cat, which jumps off the counter, startled.
Somehow, the muscle-packed streamer manages to destroy his headset in the scene; the right ear cup falls apart as he yanks it off his head.
This continues: A few minutes later, you can see Tyler1 chewing over this scene. He is in a bad mood, complains that he missed the Smite, and is generally in a foul mood, while the headset hangs awkwardly off his head.
In the background of the Twitch stream, his girlfriend comes into view and silently hands him a headset.
This is the big satisfaction: A little later, Tyler1 gets his moment in the spotlight. As a jungler, Lee Sin manages to snatch the Baron from the enemy team and puts his team on the path to victory.
A clip shows Tyler1 watching himself and congratulating.
As you can see, as a jungler in LoL, disgrace and glory are only a Smite and a few milliseconds apart.
Baron plays in LoL are often spectacular and decide matches. At the World Championship, fans discussed a catastrophic Baron play by the pros in the group stage.
Tyler1 is the star of LoL on Twitch, and he has already pulled off some stunts:
