In just two weeks, Tyler1, one of the most well-known League of Legends Twitch streamers, has achieved GrandMaster status while playing support. Tyler’s goal was to hit Master in all roles, which he easily accomplished while only playing support. That wasn’t enough for the streamer, so he continued on to GrandMaster earlier today.
If Tyler1 wants to work on the support challenge, all that is left is to reach Challenger. If Tyler’s fans regard COOKIEMONSTER123 as a support-only Challenger, only time will tell.
Tyler1 dominated a game as Karma at the end of his stream, finishing with a KDS of 4/10/18 and a Win Ratio of 57 percent. Tyler’s team was able to out-poke the other team and secure a clean victory thanks to Zoe’s 15 kills, causing Tyler to pop off in celebration, as did his chat.
Tyler1 would put on sunglasses after the game and mock how difficult the support role is, with his promotion clearly visible on screen. The streamer progressed to GrandMaster in just two weeks, despite playing 100% of the time as a support role.
As soon as the video was released, many people were ready to show their support for their favorite streamer, with memes and discussions about the event. Tyler is expected to be a top 10 support player in North America by next month, according to some, and the sanest support player, according to others.
Another person mentioned how enraged the support main Discord channels must be at Tyler’s rapid advancement to GrandMaster as support.
One person also stated that it simply validates a theory they previously held. A League player can climb higher as long as they are decent, but the hardest part is not going insane while doing so. You are where you belong, or you haven’t played long enough to get there, according to another user.
Another person, who does not play League of Legends, was also curious about what this meant. They did assume, however, that one of the more important roles is that of support. A Reddit commenter responded, emphasizing the importance of support.
This sparked some debate, with one user claiming Tyler claims it’s simple and another pointing out that what Tyler1 finds simple isn’t for everyone.
The topic of win rate came up as well, with someone asking if someone in League of Legends could have a 30% win rate as support and climb, which was quickly debunked. Tyler’s COOKIEMONSTER123 account has a 57 percent win rate, according to the website na.op.gg.
Tyler1, who earned support GrandMaster in League of Legends, has reached a watershed moment, and fans of the streamer will have to wait and see if the next step is to aim for Challenger.
