During a League of Legends stream, Twitch celebrity Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp attributed his real-life illness to his underwhelming teammates.
The most popular League of Legends streamer on Twitch is Tyler1. After finishing his Challenger series, Riot Games themselves sent him a personalized gift to show how popular he has become. Tyler1 has long loved League, but he’s also developed a reputation for occasionally flaming his teammates.
He’s now gone a step further and accused them of getting sick outside of the game. On August 2nd of last year, he asserted that a physical ailment he had was brought on by the poor League players he was paired with and playing against.
He added that it might just be a coincidence, but he did discover that watching a subpar Braum player gave him a real headache. He played with a Graves player the following day, and shortly after that, he started to feel sick.
Over the years, Tyler1 has expressed some pretty harsh opinions about League players, but as of late, their poor play is starting to affect him negatively outside of the game as well. Hopefully, now that Tyler is a Challenger in every role, Riot will start giving him teammates of a higher caliber.
