Tyler1’s been stuck in mid-low master for a couple of weeks, with hundreds of games played in the ranking trench before finding a way to climb, and finally made the breakthrough on Sunday.

According to stats on OP.gg, his FREEDOMFIGHTER28 account has a 54% overall win rate, with 409 wind and 345 losses, good enough for 714 LP at the time of writing. Ivern and Nautilus were the standout champions, with 191 and 106 games played, respectively. The rest of his top seven are rounded out by Karthus, Cho’Gath, Olaf, Jarvan IV, and Draven.

It’s not the first time the streamer’s embarked on a massive endeavor on the League servers: he has already reached the Challenger rank in every lane in February, capping off a two-year adventure, which featured a variety of highlights and choice words about his fellow players and the developers.
