“Not everybody can be as great as me,” says Tyler1 after LCS co-streamer announcement

The LCS has announced Tyler1 as the League’s newest co-streamer starting Week 6. The announcement came with a tweet and an accompanying reaction video by the streamer himself. 

The LCS has announced Tyler1 as the league’s co-streamer ahead of Week 6. After five weeks of competitive play, there are two weeks left before the Playoffs. Tyler1’s announcement is controversial to say the least, but that just goes well along with the streamer’s brand image. 

In a very energetic and passionate reaction video to the announcement, Tyler1 said “This is what’s needed”. The announcement graphic mentions Week 6, so it is still unclear if Tyler1 will be a co-streamer for the remainder of the season or if this announcement is limited to Week 6. 

League of Legends fans can catch Tyler1’s stream live at 1 PM PT/ 4pm ET. 

Not everybody can be as great as me.

Tyler1 won the Best League of Legends Streamer at the Streamer Awards in 2022 and 2023. He also won the title of the Best Chess Streamer in 2024. However, his true love of gaming is League of Legends. Back in 2018, the streamer admitted he was addicted to League of Legends. His personality has divided the internet, with many viewers disliking his toxicity. But it is the same approach to streaming that has also attracted a significant number of viewers and loyal fans. 

Tyler1 remains a successful streamer and hopefully, his joining LCS as a co-streamer will get more eyeballs and interest in NA esports. LCS viewership has seen a declining trend over the past couple of years, which is a worrisome sign for Riot, an NA-based company.

In an escharts.com report, earlier this year, the LCS Spring viewership was down 28% compared to last year. The League made a shift to weekends to hopefully stem the decline and now with the Tyler1 co-streaming announcement, things might look much better.
