In a Twitch stream by content creator Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp, not only did he play League of Legends, but allegedly his daughter did too. She is only 1.5 years old.
Who is it about? The Twitch streamer and professional League of Legends player Tyler1 plays most LoL and World of Warcraft when he goes live for his over 5.4 million followers (source: sullygnome.com).
Tyler1 has been active on Twitch since around 2014, but he only gained greater popularity in 2016. At that time, he was also banned in LoL due to his previously toxic behavior towards other players, which was too much for Riot Games. However, he was able to return at the beginning of 2018.
“You need coaching”
How does Tyler1’s daughter play? In a livestream, Tyler1’s wife entered the streaming room with their two daughters. The approximately 1.5-year-old Saiyler crawled onto Tyler1’s lap, and he immediately set out to introduce her to LoL.
He allegedly lets her have the mouse and keyboard so she can finish the game. However, it doesn’t work; the game is lost, and Tyler1 comments on his daughter’s performance: “Honestly, you need coaching. Honestly, you are terrible.” However, the Twitch streamer says all of this in a loving tone.
It should be clear that it is not really his daughter, but Tyler1 himself playing. Both the viewers and the comments under the clip on Reddit played along and pretended she was using the mouse and keyboard.
Viewers are excited about Tyler1’s daughter: Although allegedly Tyler1’s daughter loses the game, the community is still happy. There are many positive comments under the Reddit clip:
- Rawka_Skywaka believes Tyler1’s daughter is even better than he is (source: Reddit): “I haven’t played League in 6 years. She is probably better than me.”
- Accomplished-Bit7003 also finds (source: Reddit): “That is adorable.”
Other voices are particularly excited about the direction Tyler1 has developed. Where he would have been so angry about a lost game in previous years that it led to a meltdown, he now seems unaffected by it. Especially in light of the fact that he was completely banned from LoL for 2 years.
The user misecant writes, for example, that he is positively shocked that it is precisely Tyler1 who has turned out to be one of the most balanced and honest people and leads a fulfilling married life (source: Reddit): “Just … hats off, my friend.”
Saiyler is not the only daughter who has already played with her father. Elon Musk’s daughter has also played several rounds of VALORANT with her wealthy tech billionaire father, mainly to help him through the game: Elon Musk’s daughter reveals on Twitch how she had to carry her father at 12.
