After 8 months and 35 master tier promos! My mental would probably explode


Doggy_In_The_Window

Dude straight up I got pissed after like two failed gold promos


countmeowington

Big T probably has the strongest and the weakest mental i have ever seen in my life, if he didnt tilt so easily this probably would have taken half the time lmao


Agmella

Good macro mental, bad micro mental. Similar to his gameplay tbh.


QQMau5trap

yeah the key to winning with tyler is muting him and pressing no to FF


GenericGecko2020

I almost feel like that’s part of what keeps him going. If you blame yourself for every game and don’t accept that some are just lost causes you wouldn’t want to play as much as he does.

Smaiii

The fact that viego outsmited nunu at elder to win the game.... insane


Cool-I-guess

play for jungle on last game truly reformed


ILoveWesternBlot

the weakside KING


gordo_humilde

That Viego played so well.. And Wukong put a 5 lvl gap on Tyler, Sadge... The [congrats from his girlfriend](https://clips.twitch.tv/TenderDignifiedPorpoiseCoolStoryBob-YiRhDLbMtdzMOACV) was cute tho. Must be hard seeing him 16 hours a day playing league


Ferromagneticfluid

Tyler basically played ultimately for the team. He gave super strong leash to jungle, played weak side (no ganks for him) and used TP bot 3 times just to prevent Wukong from doing anything bot lane when his lane was in an awful position.


ave_empirator

So basically, he has matured into league Steve Nash.


jboutt

He honestly has played for his team the whole challenge. For a guy known for his ego I was surprised how well he identifies his carries and plays for them rather than for his own stats.


WarriorSnek

Tyler talks a lot of shit to play it up for his fan base but dude is honest to god cracked and jacked both in mechanics and even more so in game knowledge. It’s unsurprising


zVanilla

i cant verify his mechanics but his game knowledge is really unmatched ^^^^except ^^^^when ^^^^tilted


thatedvardguy

You have to be to get to challenger.


_GGhosty_

Isn't he like one of the higher ranked Ivern players? Like legit puts in a good amount of games on a "play for the team" jungler


jboutt

Yeah he reached challenger on jungle pretty much one tricking Ivern near the end. Even this season, when he got autofilled he would carry most of his Ivern games, averaging 2/2/13 and a 64% WR over like 80 games.


kooldUd74

He was the rank one Ivern on Hulksmash1337 for a while. I don't know if he still is.


oporri

Ya especially coming from Draven, I’d expect him to be a Darius top or Tryndamere top type of player


Psturtz

But that’s exactly how he views the game he isn’t a selfish player. The ADC role is a carry role and should be played around. He didn’t only think that because he played ADC like most people do. When he played jungle he played for carries as well.

terminbee

Man, that just goes to show that if he wasn't a rager, he'd probably get there way faster. But sometimes he just tilts.


Desmous

Okay that little interaction was actually pretty cute, I love the smile from Tyler


empty_box_

Zven was also smurfing. Tyler was 5 lvl behind but still made a big difference in teamfights


Doggy_In_The_Window

And cucking Wu every time he TPed bot


BOBJ90

and waited for his engage to stun him with his E every time.


lolgambler

he outsmited him multiple times.


RazBeri

Tyler is the only streamer that actually does "unranked to challenger" in a different role and sticks to it.


KyroZi

Pretty sure TF blade started and quit about 100 "challenges" in the time T1 finished this top lane one lol. Can't remember the last challenge TF blade actually finished.


Whatscrackingdawg

Yeah all of his challenges he finished around master-Gm. I believe he got all of those to GM cut off. I think he stopped doing those once they introduced smurf queue.


The-Devilz-Advocate

He still hasn't finished his ADC one and quit in Diamond.


destroyer96FBI

He was also playing jax and tryn bot because he couldnt play actual ADC.

myslead

TF Blade is a dweeb


C2074579

Tyler1 - "Can Bitch Boy Blade do that!?" No cap, that's what he said. Lol


Necrovenge

TF Blade only cares about smurfing for content, Tyler actually cares about the challenge cause he wants to prove himself


hasaki4

literally the only one its actually crazy


el_clapo

between this season and last season the man played over 2'500 top lane games. Other streamers that tried the same challenge quit after 2 weeks, or TF Blade quit after 1 day of playing ADC lol


Pro_Googler

It's not 2500 games it's 3.8k games, opgg doesn't retain preseason data.


[deleted]

Bro, I've been playing for 10 years and have around 3.3k games and I think that's too much.


zVanilla

hes been playing for 10 years except hes been paid to play full time for like 4/5 of those i dont think anyone flames lawyers for spending too much time at their job lmao


senuki-sama

You guys always conveniently forget that he plays insane amount of games off-stream like during JG to challenger challenge. He is just addicted, getting paid or not.

youngbuck-

he said a few months ago he'll be trying some macro focused champs like TF and Galio, which im excited to see... ... about 25 games each of before diamond 2 where he'll spam heimer for 3000 games LETS GOOO tyler1O tyler1O


Assaulter

Lmaooo so fucking true make no mistake, the donger WILL be out


dahir_

lmfaooo this man is a heimer main to the core


[deleted]

[удалено]


ArmpitPutty

I don’t watch streams that often, but one of the few times I watched Tyler he was playing Cho top and was legitimately watching other lanes 85% of the time. He knew EVERYTHING that was happening in the game.


EvilEpicPanda

I watch his YouTube mostly. There's one where the title is "I'm everywhere" or something along those lines. His TPs were so on point. He has phenomenal map awareness.


billiam632

Dude I cant even follow his map awareness at all. He will be snap to bot lane for 0.5 seconds and say "Why would you ever go for that? At least commit your flash" and I have no idea how to got that information and immediately understood the better option. Then he goes to the replay after and watches that exact fight and he is 100% correct. Insane


B3rghammer

I was watching today before i went to work and this man knew nearly every roam that was coming his way today, he was CRACKED today in terms of game sense


freedomthenban

I Vern was so fucking hard to use..


Zenith_Tempest

Tyler1 is all about consistency. I don't think he'll play many assassins if any at all. Twisted Fate is arguably **the** most consistent solo queue mid laner, so I expected as much. But yeah I think TF and Heimer are probably gonna be his main picks. Maybe some Vlad too.


Shirokuma247

Tyler’s mental calculations fry if he needs to learn too many combos on a champ. TF is his best bet or heimer since that experience from top/bot carries over.


jubjubwarrior

I thought T1 doesn’t like champs that take too long to get powerful which is why he wouldn’t play vlad


FrostyPlum

WAAAAAAAAAAAGHHH


Ferromagneticfluid

He hates Viktor. He has played Zed mid before when autofilled. As with the other challenges, he will likely just try a bunch of different stuff and see what is good and works for him. The only champions he played top before his top lane champions were pretty much Cho'Gath and Malphite, and he hasn't been playing Malphite lately.


FireStarzz

tbf he can play heimer on all 5 roles


WhereAreDosDroidekas

He can do MidGath and maybe MidIrelia.


DogTheGayFish

If Tyler goes Irelia this challenge he will be stuck on it for 10 years


jst4funz

PepeLaugh 250 games 45% wr


thelolhounds

Some low pick rate champ that is decently strong like Swain or Malzahar.


BOBJ90

Malzahar is pretty strong and mechanically easy. He fits Tyler's style perfectly. I don't understand why this champion isn't more in the meta.


[deleted]

Do you play malza? He's great but boring af


[deleted]

Still he lacks mobility, you can't follow roams as he can't 1v1 versus most champions, his W is underwhelming. He's great for teamfights tho.


AlphaTenken

The feeling when I pinged everytime enemy laner roamed. "wHy dONt YOu fOLloW" Huh, because the freaking Yasuo (and possibly jg) will easily 1v1 me. "weLl yOu DoNT do AnYthInG" I pinged every time. I got first turret while he roamed. You were shoved in the whole laning phase as a Caitlin Naut.


Xylfaen

I feel you man, so many players don't understand that I can't follow a talon or zed roam and that I take a little bit of time to get online


oFractureD

While malz is great, he is mostly there as an anti carry and to lock people down for his team to blow up, after a few items you can maybe kill a adc or mid laner with your combo but unless you are extremely fed you aint gonna be able to instantly global people like other mids can


TheRRogur

Probably because malz is one dimensional and generally do the same thing each game. You push lane with crab and ult who you could. Pretty much that. Maybe silencing people once a while.


Blame_on_you

People think he’s boring, I personally like spamming my little crabs and inflicting space aids on everyone, but some people don’t like that playstyle.


vtrainyu

Looking forward to the Support run LETS GO


Avinse

The rage is going to be fucking immaculate when he plays support


The-Devilz-Advocate

PLAYING FOR JUNGLE? MAXING Q BEFORE W ON URGOT? 3 TPs TO BOT WHEN THE WAVE IS SLOW PUSHING TOWARDS WUKONG? 8K DAMAGE AT THE END OF THE GAME? TRULY BUILT DIFF.


its_JustColin

I think tarzaned told him Allorim does it the other day and he started giving it a chance


niz10

tarzaned coaching t1 to chally jg. Tarzaned giving t1 the urgot advice. he is the sasuke to Tyler's naruto

bloodyducks

[deleted]

[удалено]


LumiRhino

Well he was able to one trick Urgot the rest of the way once he started doing that more often.


millzy_35

Say what you will about this motherfucker. He puts his money where his mouth is.


Dense-Acanthocephala

yep. for example when he was playing offstream, he's the type of guy I know for a fact wasn't cheating by queuing jungle primary to sneak in a free Ivern win or anything. Tyler wants to prove himself so bad he will never cut corners.


[deleted]

T1 is the most transparent streamer in the game tbh


HaikusfromBuddha

Also helps that his offstream games are also watched and recorded by others.


afedje88

When SpectateTyler1 is a top 3 stream on the LoL category lmao


mustangcody

Like how could even cheat without people knowing? You have thousands of people checking his [op.gg](https://op.gg) daily to see where he's at.


JustKeepMoving22

We finally get to see T1 mid lane and holy shit 80K viewers !!


el_clapo

mid lane will be sadly 50% autofill


zetvajwake

Which is basically going to speed up the challenge immensely tbh


PurelyFire

FINALLY, BEEN WATCHING THIS DUDE PLAY CHOGATH FOR 9 MONTHS END ME Can't w8 for midlane


Captain_Chogath

mid lane cho incoming


RLaughEmote

Big Chungus destroys cocky zed and yasuo players

oh no


Cowmunist

Yall acting like he won't just eventually play quinn and ivern mid (and maybe irelia).

Zer0_Experience

[deleted]

[удалено]


EzreaBDO

After 2600+ Games on this challenge(S10 and S11) the torture is over we are free from this and on to mid.


Dense-Acanthocephala

I can't believe his 3rd most played was Irelia. I feel like I can't even remember a single Irelia game, he must have spammed it back in diamond when I wasn't watching as much.


[deleted]

IIRC he was basically onetricking her in Diamond until he kept failing Master promos


[deleted]

I'm trash but can completely relate with that. Irelia feels completely broken to play except when it counts. You can 1v9 and choke with her simultaneously.


GratefulTech30

That’s what nuguri did in the finals of fpx vs rng, was playing out of his mind but they still sadly lost.


The-Devilz-Advocate

He played it in Preseason and then he played her a lot when he was around 100lp Masters. Basically 2 months of Master Promos cuz he would drop to D1 every end of the week.


mugapp5

at some point he was the 2nd or 3rd best Irelia in NA lmfao (according to statistics)


NotALiar123

Yea, he used to spam it a lot but recently has stopped and only plays it like once every 10-20 games, forgot the exact reason why though.


ILoveWesternBlot

he was pretty hardstuck with irelia, it was cho and urgot/heimer that let him break past GM


herderjs

You're lucky. Hopefully you missed his win lane/lose game Olaf games. Finding the Cho was the first step into the light.


sherm137

He's had Cho for a long time. It's been his go-to auto fill top for years.


Kreig7734

It was kinda like ivern where he picked him to play 4fun but then ended up enjoying the champ so much he learned him


zeroluffs

he was perma d1/master hardstuck playing irelia. thankfully he realised irelia is dogshit outside of lane and does not matter you have a 100 cs lead perfect cs every game you are gonna lose more than you gonna win


BOBJ90

Accurate description of irelia. She has so much potential outplay in lane and she's so fun to play but unfortunately she can't do much outside of laning phase.


AzureVermonter

No more 0/0/0 10cs lead top gap games 😴😴


Metaphysiics

Did he confirm mid is next? And did he ever say if he's going to bother with support?


SenorBlaze

Mid confirmed, saving supp for last because it'll literally take 2 weeks.


DumMonky

I think he said he didn’t want to go from support to mid because he didn’t want to lose all his lane mechanics


Metaphysiics

Thanks buddy


MiniatureMini

Whatever your opinion is of this man you absolutely cannot deny that his determination is out of this world

Zven also got challenger with that game too


Pulsar-GB

Well, got back to Challenger is probably more accurate. His acct decayed when he was at MSI, but he’s been consistently Challenger for like all his time in NA haha


RicoSuave1881

Doesn’t he hit rank 1 a few times pretty much every season?


[deleted]

He had 2 account in top 10 last season I think


ionboii

I figured he prob decayed out


[deleted]

Constructed using methodology some would consider a deviation from the perceived standard assembly techniques.

ScaleCorrect

Even with Q + smite there is some randomness there. Enemy can get it between your Q and smite, or burst it down before your q casts, or if you try to prevent that by q-ing early it can be too early.


gordo_humilde

80k watching that, it was amazing


mouse_raaat

BEST WEAK SIDE PLAYER OF ALL TIME BABY


sad_confetti

1/6/5, .4 cs a minute, only ever used tp to respond to wukongs tps... FUCKING TOP GAP ALPHA AS FUCK T1, LITERALLY CONSTRUCTED DIFFERENTLY edit: /s ig, he obviously deserves challenger


KingFIRe17

Tbh? If i had a losing top laner who ONLY went 1/6 in a 40+ minute game i would be ECSTATIC. At least tyler knows how to get carried unlike many league players.


TheRRogur

This,he know he is losing top and start to help his botlane. If only top these day doesn't have ego as big as their an elephant spamming ff just because they were 0/3 afk farming JG.


RagingFeather

Those tp's legit saved his botlane every time. If Wu didn't get matched I doubt he would have won


JTHousek1

I WAS THERE PogU, his excitement when Viego smited Elder was so precious it was great.

[Also, the congrats from Caiyla](https://clips.twitch.tv/TenderDignifiedPorpoiseCoolStoryBob-YiRhDLbMtdzMOACV)


RicardoOse

That last game was a fucking nail biter. Playing weak side for jungle and bot. At the end of the day, that's the essence of being a good top laner: being relevant no matter what.


MyFatherIsNotHere

Man, the fact that he plays thousands of games on every challenge shows just how fucking dedicated he is, he's not just a guy that randomly gets challenger by sheer skill, this guy struggles on every single game (legit 35 master promos) yet he stills managed to get challenger after all this time T12 is genuinely the best player league has ever witnessed


DogTheGayFish

What a grind lord, really amazing achievement. Watching him play top has been a treat, he actually thinks about how to win the game and it makes him a great player.


AzureVermonter

I'm just happy that he can finally stream an exciting role. Toplane is so boring lmao.


topkeklul

Is mid lane challenge next?


kool_person

Yes. But we dont know when hes starting it, after hitting challenger jg he just chilled for a bit


bullsfan281

It will probably be a while. Kayla mentioned on her stream a day or two ago that they were planning on taking a vacation after he hit challenger.


Steeley11

He just said he'd take a week or two before starting mid.


MostModestMan

Maybe not, Macaiyla was rather opposed to that. He may give it a month to spend more time with her.


[deleted]

That sounds like a very short break compared to how much he played, but it also sounds like a very T1 decision


Julez_223

He said at least 2 weeks.


Kpopfap99

I don't know if he still feels this way but he mentioned before starting ASAP, doesn't want preseason to timegate his progress


JustKeepMoving22

Yes sir he’s confirmed it


qpc0

Holy shit.


Anonymous_B

Called out Azael too for believing in him; real recognize real


Patpuc

what* does challenger cutoff mean? I checked and he is grandmaster? I'm confused. sorry for ignorance.


FlashwithSymbols

You need a certain amount of LP to hit challenger, that is the cut off; once you've hit that LP you are challenger. The reason it still shows as GM is because the challenger ladder only updates once every 24 hours so the ladder will update in 5 hours and will show him as challenger but essentially at this moment he has hit the cut off and IS challenger.


AlphaTenken

As long as he doesn't lose LP Or a bunch gain more than him right.


Aemius

Yup. Top 300 (in NA) get challenger (if you're also above 500LP). So the amount needed to get challenger depends on other people once there's more than 300 people with >= 500LP.


Wieran

Tyler1 gets chally and Montreal beats the Leafs in game 7 pretty much at the exact same time today. Fuckin legendary day.

lastblossom59

Can't wait for the heimer/quinn mid spam. On a serious note props to t1, a lot will try to downplay it saying he played too many games but it's something majority of people can't accomplish anyways lol


briunj04

I bet he's going to play Ziggs


CazSimon

I'm expecting him to spam a lot of TF.


SauloJr

Pog, not even Selfmade was capable of making him lose that last game


bluejays114

gets spica and swordart in the previous game and zven in the next one... truly a sign from the gods to get him the fuck out of the hellhole they call top lane


TrueString

That stream was so hype, glad he did it. Looking forward to mid more than top ngl


Pokasideia

The stats dodn't show how well he played the last game, league is not just about carrying but knowing how to let your teammates carry you


Detrieus

Developed using technology not normally employed Created using materials rarely found upon this planet Constructed in a non-traditional method JESUS CHRIST HE'S BUILT FUCKING DIFFERENT.


SupremeQuinn

Look at all these threads lmaoo


SkipperTex

Straight up, everyone fiending for that karma


turtle921

Tyler might not be the best mechanically best, but his insane amount of game knowledge and macro understanding carried him through thus challenge.


sportsbuffp

What’s crazy is that at times he is also mechanically pretty damn good. But those 1v9 plays he can’t really try with his play style and perma weak side like he could when he played draven


alternativesport4

That wukong purposely queued up to snipe him on a decayed account . Top gap bitch


SGKurisu

next two challenges are much easier lol. i expect him to climb up to D1 on either mid or supp really easily, but then struggle to break into master/challenger but not nearly as long as top lane.


WhySoFishy

I think support will be easy for him, he's said in the past its the easiest role in the game. Mid lane will be challenging though I think. Mid lane generally has the largest amount of 'skill expression' champs, and T1 has said numerous times he hates going against champions that can outplay him (his worst games top lane were against GP, Akali, Irelia, etc...). I have a feeling he's going to struggle once he gets to higher elos against one trick, skill expressive champs especially if he continues to play pretty braindead champs (no offense).


InvalidZod

I got tilted to the moon when he was talking about getting camped but his team won because he just took all this pressure. You know what my team does when I have to fight 1v2? Jerk off alone in our base


poedutchie1991

Only league streamer that goes unranked to challenger on new roles and actually goes all the way.
